Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Redick caught the ball and feinted a shot, deceiving Stephenson into the air, and then made a gesture for a three-point jumper.

Hill next to him quickly came over to cover, but Redick passed to Duhon.

Du Hong ignored Qi Tian's defense and forced a jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"27-33."

Stephenson received the pass and was about to break through the offense when Clark suddenly stretched out his hand under the basket and completed the steal.

"Defend!"

Seeing the Magic's rapid breakthrough, the Pacers fans on the sidelines shouted loudly, trying to use their momentum to help the home team.

Hill, Qi Tian and Stephenson quickly returned to defense and did not let their opponents find a chance for a fast break.

Duhong saw Clark follow up, used his pick-and-roll to break through quickly, and passed the ball to Clark who followed him.

Stephenson next to him saw Clark taking action and immediately jumped up to block the shot.

"Dudu!"

The hawk-eyed referee saw Stephenson hit Clark's hand and immediately blew the whistle, indicating that it was Stephenson's foul.

"Shooting foul, two free throws."

Vogel on the sidelines shook his head, requested a substitution, and replaced Stephenson with George.

"Be careful, their guards are very accurate in shooting."

Seeing George on stage, Qi Tian walked over and gave him a warning.

George looked at Duhon and Redick, smiled with some disdain, and said:

"Don't worry, my defense is not just for free."

Clark made his second free throw to help the team chase one point.

"28-33."

Hill called Hansbrough to pick and roll, quickly broke through to the basket, and passed the ball to Hansbrough who followed up.

Facing Clark, Hansbrough went crazy, catching the ball and shooting directly for a layup.

But Clark suddenly jumped up and gave his opponent a big hit in the air.

Richardson got the rebound and turned around and passed it to Redick on the fast break.

George picked up his speed and followed Redick closely, guarding against his fast break.

"Huh, just a white defender..."

Before George's contempt could even register on his face, Redick quickly stopped and took a jumper.

"What?"

George didn't react in time. After jumping up, he realized that his opponent's basketball had left his hand, passed over his head, and accurately fell into the basket.

"30-33."

"Tsk."

George admitted that he had indeed underestimated his opponent, and when he saw Qi Tian looking over, he could only shrug.

"Stay steady."

Hill whispered to George.

Although he had just joined the Pacers not long ago, he had a rough idea of ​​George's characteristics through contact.

His physical fitness is extremely good, and his defense also has the potential to enter the best defensive team, but his personality is a bit careless and not stable enough.

This is normal. When a rookie enters the league and can handle things calmly, that is news.

Hill once again called for a pick-and-roll, and Qi Tian in the corner also quickly rotated and set up a pick-and-roll with George. George quickly broke through and entered the basket.

"Chance!"

Hill decisively passed the ball to the open Qi Tian, ​​who took the ball and made a jump shot to help the team stop the bleeding.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"30-35."

Seeing that Qi Tian had already scored 4 points in four minutes on the court, Vogel nodded slightly off the court.

Brian Xiao next to him was also very happy.

Players who take decisive and precise shots and are willing to do some dirty work of covering and defending are definitely Vogel's favorite type.

George's appearance raised the Pacers' perimeter defense to a higher level, and the Magic's scoring suffered one setback after another.

The Pacers' touch also dropped, so that in the next minute, neither side scored.

George broke through and dunked, finally breaking the scoring drought.

"30-37."

"JJ!"

Quentin Richardson turned and passed to Redick in the bottom corner. George quickly followed up and saw his opponent break through for a layup, and then jumped to interfere.

"clang!"

The basketball jumped out of the hoop.

"rebound!"

Hansbrough jumped up first, but the basketball bounced too high and he couldn't reach it. He could only follow the gravity and fall.

Glen Davis got the rebound and turned around and handed it to his outside teammates.

"Defend!"

Hill, Qi Tian and George quickly returned to their opponents and launched a wave of secondary attack defense.

Duhong found that there was no chance from the outside, so he passed the lob ball to the basket and handed it to Davis.

Big Baby squeezed West away, turned around and shot for a layup.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle, signaling West's shooting foul.

"Two free throws."

West could only reach out and take his own foul.

Just halfway through the second quarter, the Magic and Pacers requested substitutions at the same time.

Jason Richardson reappeared, and Turkoglu and Ryan Anderson also appeared in the next round;

The Pacers replaced Hansbrough and Hill with Hibbert and Collison.

"clang!"

Davis shot the first free throw, hitting the iron.

He quickly adjusted his rhythm and hit his second free throw.

"31-37."

Collison dribbled the ball forward and passed it directly to Qi Tian. He dropped to the bottom corner and opened up the space.

"??"

Qi Tian didn't expect to get the pass while he was still running. He looked at Collison and found that he also had a little embarrassment on his face.

"Does this make me the boss of Danny?"

Qi Tian held the basketball to his waist to avoid being intercepted by his opponent, and decisively started his attack.

He called Hibbert to pick and roll, and then forced a breakthrough to the basket.

Clark quickly retreated, raising his arms in an attempt to interfere with his opponent.

Qi Tian suddenly collected the ball, took a step back and to his right, and then made an emergency stop to shoot a jump shot.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball hollow hit.

"31-39."

“Not bad, not bad!”

Brian Shaw nodded with satisfaction,

"It seems that Qi's self-confidence has been built up, and there will be no problem even as a substitute attacker."

"The prerequisite is that he can maintain his performance."

He proudly turned to look at Vogel, only to find that Vogel's expression was normal, even a little stern.

Then Qi Tian's layup was blocked by his opponent. Vogel decisively requested a substitution and replaced Granger.

"In the last 4 minutes of the second quarter, substitutions are normal."

Brian Shaw looked at the timer and determined that there shouldn't be too many subjective reasons for the head coach's substitution.

"But I always feel a little strange, what's going on?"

Brian Shaw thought for a while before coming up with an uncertain guess.

"Could it be that Frank doesn't want to see a second George appear on the team?"

George, who performed well in the playoffs against the Bulls, has asked Vogel to adjust the starting lineup and even put George at shooting guard. Now there is a Qitian, and the three forwards will not be able to do it?

He took a sneak peek at Vogel and found that the head coach had no special performance, so he could only throw this guess away.

"Tsk, in the following training, Qi Lian will have to practice something other than forward."

Brian Shaw decided to prepare for Qi Tian in advance.
