Legend Raiders

Chapter 1202
Ten minutes passed in a flash, and players from both sides began to leave the locker room one after another.

player channel.

They are like a convention, the players began to interact with each other, and catching rookies is a show.

Simply this activity has been going on for decades, and the rookies have integrated well.

Enter the arena.

The cheers of the fans at the scene sounded.

looking at them.

Qin Tao sometimes thinks, how optimistic it must be to be able to act like them and maintain this attitude all the time.

moment.

The coaches of both sides began to make the final tactical arrangements.

Relatively speaking.

Having played last season, the coaches of both sides know each other well.

Especially Vogel.

To put it bluntly, since the end of last season, he and the team began to study the Celtics for the first time.

among them.

They specifically studied the Celtics' defense.

On this point, they also study with a learning attitude.

After all, they are a team that attaches great importance to defense, and sometimes even come from a completely defensive team.

After research, they can be said to have benefited a lot, at least in the preseason, they have already tasted the sweetness.

previously.

Although they lost to the Celtics at home, but in that game, when they met the original version of them, they still lacked something.

at the moment.

Regardless of other things, they still have a learning attitude.

honestly.

The reality of the current Pacers is a bit sad.

Back then, they were against the Celtics, or even a stronger Eastern team than the Celtics.

But as the seasons went down, not only failed to keep their status as a strong team in the East, but also caused the team's important ministers to leave one by one. I have to say that this is a very regrettable thing.

Come to think of it now.

If they could grit their teeth and find better players back then, maybe they would also be the one holding the championship trophy.

What I say now is somewhat meaningless, and I have to fight everything to know.

soon.

As both sides started their debut, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became hot.

jump ball.

In response to the Celtics' lineup, the Pacers' player composition is a bit tit-for-tat.

They didn't send Jordan Hill as a big center, but let Ian Mahinmi play the center, and Paul George put it on the power forward.

The small forward is CJ Myers, the shooting guard is Monta Ellis, and the point guard is George Hill.

This lineup is really small, which shows that they are going to play fast.

But compared to their tactical play, Vogel's arrangement is a bit incomprehensible.

After all, they are a defensive team. I don't know what it means to put on such a lineup now.

And the players who jump the ball are not Paul George, Ma Xinmilai and Qin Tao.

Needless to say, Qin Tao got the ball in the end.

Isiah Thomas has completely gotten used to the Celtics' style. Now that he got the ball, he ran to the frontcourt with Qin Tao and the others as soon as he got the ball.

The Pacers, who have a small lineup, completed their position immediately. It seems that they want to make a quick call.

Since the Pacers chose this way, the Celtics naturally don't need to fight them as soon as they come up.

With Amir Johnson, and Durant, who is tall and tall, plus the powerful Qin Tao, isn't it good to play in the field?

and so.

As Qin Tao began to settle inside, Isiah Thomas was immediately handed over to him.

Facing Qin Tao.

Paul George is very cautious.

He is very aware of Qin Tao's ability and dare not relax in the slightest.

But the absolute weakness in strength makes it difficult for him to block behind.

Nothing.

Paul George could only think of a way from the side, constantly using his long arms to make some harassment.

Some competition.

Qin Tao's back was not particularly smooth.

Paul George's defense is certainly not that strong, but the advantage is that he is more flexible than Qin Tao and has more choices.

And just to be on the safe side, if Qin Tao couldn't play for two or three seconds, he immediately passed back to Durant on the flank.

Facing the pitcher CJ Myers, Durant played very confidently.

He first used his height and wingspan to make some repressive moves, and then he aggressively turned on the breakthrough mode.

Can't stop!
CJ Miles has worked very hard, but there is really no way to stop Durant's footsteps.

Simultaneously.

Paul George didn't dare to leave Qin Tao for half a step. As long as he stepped forward to block Durant, then Qin Tao's dunk performance would follow.

So only Mahinmi stepped forward, and Amir Johnson could still reassure them a little.

But who knows that Durant didn't stop at all, but became faster and more violent.

Suddenly!

At the moment when the two were about to collide, Durant was like a huge spinning top, turned around smoothly, and once again exerted strength, he went straight to the inside and completed the attack with a hard dunk.

The cheers at the scene soared into the sky, and the dunk just now was continuously played on the big screen.

Qin Tao said he was very comfortable with this ball.

He and Stevens no longer insist on making the ball for Durant, but use a combination of internal and external methods to make the team's tactics smoother.

The current results are very good, Durant perfectly completed this offense.

Easy to fight again.

As the core of the team, Paul George is naturally let him play the first goal.

And this will put huge defensive pressure on Qin Tao.

Because Paul George has been playing small forward all year round, the various outside moves and methods are not comparable to Qin Tao.

and so.

Qin Tao looked very, very focused, staring at Paul George in front of him, preventing him from making any moves.

However, it is not an easy task to predict the opponent's next move.

Paul George didn't say that he was playing Qin Tao completely, but the series of actions that followed made Qin Tao almost lose his focus.

Turn over jump shot.

Paul George's movements are not to say that they are picturesque, but they are also unique, with a very good hit rate, and they hit the net hollow.

in this way.

In the next first quarter, the two teams actually played into a single-player situation.

Here Durant completes the offense, and Paul George will respond there.

Here Qin Tao is hard on the inside, and Paul George is a mid-range hit over there.

As such.

After the first quarter was over, the two sides were actually tied.

But the Pacers can't be happy here, because Paul George is fighting against Qin Tao and Durant!
His physical strength was greatly challenged, and he was drenched in sweat after he left the field.

And Qin Tao and Durant will be much more relaxed.

If the Pacers want to fight the Celtics, someone must stand up!
Like Monta Ellis!
He can be said to have no sense of presence in the first quarter, which does not conform to his style at all.

If he can stand up and form a 2V2, they may be able to fight to the end.
