Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Chapter 89

"You fought well."

Brian Xiao patted Qi Tian on the shoulder and said.

Qi Tian grinned and said nothing.

People are never satisfied. He once aimed to enter the rotation. At the end of the last game, relying on steals to score 2+1, Qi Tian believed that he had entered the team's rotation list.

But today, he discovered that entering the rotation was not enough. If he did not become the main force, he would always be just a sideline for the team and could only appear outside the main team's playing time.

Just like today, because the opponent's coach will definitely kill the main force, the Pacers must change to the starting lineup to deal with it, otherwise, the substitutes will definitely be beaten by the opponent.

It is foreseeable that Qi Tian's playing time today will not be too long.

"You have to be a starter and the main force!"

Qi Tian secretly made up his mind.

But this is not easy.

In addition to Granger, the rise of George has taken up all the playing time at the small forward position.

In order to compromise, Vogel used George as the starting shooting guard.

With Collison at point guard, competition from George Hill, and West and Hibbert on the inside, is it not just a dream for Qi Tian to enter the starting lineup?

"Am I going to be Danny's backup at most and appear in the rotation?"

Qi Tian wiped the sweat from his face and said with some reluctance,

"Three small forwards, it's really difficult to coordinate!"

"etc?"

Suddenly, Qi Tian was stunned. He quickly thought of something and thought excitedly:

Just because the three small forwards are not good now doesn't mean they won't be good in the future.

Qi Tian has future experience and knows that in a few years, at most 2016, small lineups led by the Warriors will sweep the league. After that, every team will form its own small lineup.

"yes!"

Qi Tian thought about the key to breaking the situation:

"In a small lineup, everyone must have enough ability, whether it is offense or defense, they must be above the standard, and they must even have the ability to switch guards and centers. Such versatility can only be possessed by small forwards!

He even found the soil that spawned a small lineup in the Pacers, that is, Hibbert's physical strength and the impact of the Heat's one and four small players.

"Hibbert only has the physical strength to play for about 20-25 minutes, and the Pacers still need to deal with the impact of the Heat. So, as long as you are strong enough, it is not a dream to enter the lineup at critical moments!"

Qi Tian nodded excitedly and looked towards the field.

On the court at this time, West and Granger continuously attacked the inside to score. Granger passed the ball to West at the buzzer and assisted him to make a jumper three-pointer.

At the end of the half, the Pacers trailed the Lakers by only 3 points, 49-52.

Seeing that the game had entered the half-time commercial break, Hu Yingzhe and others who were watching the game in the Internet cafe immediately changed from a silent state to a noisy state.

"Hey, did you see it? Kobe just scored 4 points in a row. That jump shot and that powerful dunk were so sweet and handsome!"

"Yes, yes, I feel that Kobe's dunks are not inferior to Carter's."

"Not losing to Carter? What kind of champion is Carter?"

"Slam dunk contest champion, what's wrong?"

"What a coincidence, Kobe also won the slam dunk contest. Kobe didn't lose to Carter in dunks, right?"

"What Jaguar are you talking about?"

"How many championships does Carter have?"

…

Listening to the noise of his classmates, Hu Yingzhe shook his head and said nothing.

Energetic students always have an inexplicable desire to win or lose in the rankings, as if their close star players are superior to others.

Even if two stars are similar, they will use their own judgment to conclude that the opponent's star is not as close as my star.

Hu Yingzhe will not do this easily, because what he likes is Duncan of the Spurs!

Although he played guard in school, he really liked Shi Buddha, who had solid basic skills and a very calm personality.

"Be low-key."

Hu Yingzhe turned his head to glance at the noisy people, then turned to Yu Guohao, who was looking at the screen thoughtfully.

"Daniu, what are you looking at?"

Hu Yingzhe asked curiously, turning to look at the screen.

During the intermission, advertisements will be played on live TV across the United States, but in China, American advertisers have not paid them, so the screen will return to the studio. What Yu Guohao is watching is the above explained by the host.

An offensive possession in the half.

It was George who helped Qi Tian pick and roll, and then Collison passed the ball through the screen and assisted Qi Tian to hit a three-pointer.

Yu Guohao waited until the host finished explaining, then nodded with satisfaction, turned to his friend and said:

"This is the first time I know that a simple offensive round contains so many things."

Hu Yingzhe was stunned.

Although he likes the smooth cooperation of the Spurs, he is really not interested in the too detailed tactics about what opportunities each player moves for.

"No way, Daniel, you won't want to become a coach in the future, right?"

"It's not impossible."

This was the first time Yu Guohao learned about such in-depth tactics. He was very interested, but then he still shook his head.

"My mother will definitely not let me be a basketball coach, so forget it."

"Hey, just think of it as a hobby."

Hu Yingzhe knew that Yu Guohao's parents had always hoped that he could get into a good university and did not want him to focus too much on basketball, so he comforted him and said,

"Anyway, we can't make it to the CBA. Your mother might be very happy to see you reading a book instead of playing basketball!"

"That makes sense!"

Yu Guohao's eyes lit up and he agreed to his friend's suggestion.

"Oh, the game has begun!"

Hu Yingzhe watched Mike Brown being interviewed in the lower right corner, while the second half of the game was displayed on the big screen in the upper left corner, and immediately said something.

This sentence seemed to have magic power. Everyone who was still arguing next to them immediately stopped arguing and turned their heads to look at the screen, just in time to see Kobe once again score with his signature fadeaway jumper.

"handsome!"

Seeing Kobe's iconic scoring move again, almost everyone shouted and cheered for him.

Collison attacked with the ball from the outside, broke through and handed the ball to George in the bottom corner. George made a feint shot, shook away Matt Barnes, and made a three-point jumper.

"Whoosh!"

"52-54."

Gasol responded from a high position and turned to Bynum.

Bynum broke through Hibbert's defense, caught the ball and dunked directly.

"handsome……"

Hu Yingzhe and others were about to shout when they saw Bynum's dunk hit the rim and bounced out.

"Well……"

Hibbert got the rebound, turned around and passed it to his teammates for a fast break.

George broke through, but turned and passed to Granger on the outside.

Granger adjusted his rhythm and took a long shot from beyond the three-point line.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.
