Chapter 1214 Back to back at the end of the month

The Wizards were won by a big score, allowing the Celtics to breathe a sigh of relief.

It's not that they are out of shape, it's just that they need some time to adjust.

at the moment.

They have returned to that familiar rhythm, which is not good news for other teams.

But you can't always expect the Celtics to wind up for a whole season, can you?
People's background is there, and it is true that they should try to find a way to deal with it quickly.

After defeating the Wizards, the Celtics will get a day off.

It's pretty good, but it's also the beginning of their upcoming two-game streak.

In the last two days of this month, they will play an away game against the Magic on the 29th, and will fly to Miami on the [-]th to challenge the Heat without James.

The days of rest passed quickly, and Qin Tao and the others took a plane to Orlando in the early morning of the 29th.

Qin Tao is not particularly familiar with this city, except for Disneyland and other parks.

In the past few seasons, I originally wanted to have fun, but I just didn't have this opportunity, and I couldn't be a big kid if I wanted to.

at the moment.

They're still sitting on the plane talking about it.

If it wasn't for the continued competition tomorrow, they would definitely go and have a good time.

in the afternoon.

Qin Tao and the others came to the home court of the Magic.

As the visiting team, they are the first to start warming up and adapting to the venue.

pass soon.

There were quite a few reporters and media at the scene, and surrounding them was just an interview.

Most of the questions were related to their previous state, but Qin Tao and the others answered very modestly, and none of them said anything big.

During the handover with the Magic, Qin Tao and the others went up and greeted the players.

Relatively speaking.

There are only so many teams in the NBA, and there are only so many players every year. If you play more times, you will naturally become familiar with them.

Chatted briefly.

They went back to the lounge.

After making some preparations, I sat back and waited for the game to start.

That night.

The Magic flooded into a large number of fans at home. Compared with the days when Howard was still there in previous years, the attendance rate is really not good.

But now the Magic can be regarded as barely strong, otherwise they would not even have this attendance.

In the locker room.

Qin Tao and the others filed out, looking in good spirits.

Enter the arena.

The boos at the scene hit instantly, which made people a little annoyed.

Home players are different.

Even if it is a fringe player, someone will hold his poster and cheer.

The two sides sat down.

Next is the warm-up and appearance ceremony.

Then the two sides got to the point, and the main players appeared on the stage one after another.

The Celtics need no introduction here, they basically play with this lineup.

The Magic are.

Center Nikola Ucevic, power forward Channing Frye, small forward Tobias Harris, shooting guard is Evan Fournier, point guard is Elfrid Payton!
Their lineup is also stable, and has passed the test of this season, helping the team achieve more than half of the winning percentage, with eight wins and eight losses.

As for the record of the Celtics, they still rank first in the league, with [-] wins and [-] losses!

If they lost another game against the 76ers last time, although they won't fall, they won't have one or two more victories than the teams behind them.

at last.

As the referee signaled the players on both sides to come forward, he told some things that needed to be thought out, and then threw the ball into the air.

Qin Tao has almost never lost the jump ball. Isiah Thomas got the ball at the first time, and then pushed forward one after another.

They seemed to want to play a positional battle with the Magic in this game, but they didn't charge up, but the opponent immediately completed the positioning in order to prevent their move.

Come to the front court.

Channing Frye immediately entangled Qin Tao.

Although his abilities are no longer at their peak, years of experience in combat have allowed him to do well.

Qin Tao felt a little bit difficult, but this time the attack was not him, but Durant.

Pull to high position.

Qin Tao completed his role change and started his journey of support.

Made a screen for Durant, and then quickly pulled it out to the left.

Channing Frye is also a big pitcher, so he naturally knows that Qin Tao cannot let go at all.

But Qin Tao's idea was very direct. He didn't want to find an opportunity to try his outside touch, but to set up a cover for Isiah Thomas who came around again.

His repeated screens made the Magic's defense suddenly stagnant.

The quality of his finishing is so high that Isiah Thomas and Durant, both of them, can get things done with speed.

Like now.

After Durant handed the ball to Isiah Thomas, he cut to the inside for the first time.

Because Qin Tao took Channing Frye and left, this left only one Ucevic inside to defend.

Facing Durant.

Even if Amir Johnson's autonomous offensive ability is not strong, he can't let it go.

all of a sudden.

The inside line of the Magic has encountered a huge challenge!

Just then.

Isiah Thomas drove in from the wing and put the pressure on Vucevic again, forcing him to come out.

Thus.

Because the rest of the Magic team was restrained by the Celtics, they had no helpers in an instant.

When Ucevic had to go up to block Isiah Thomas, the latter made a beautiful high throw, and Durant flew into the sky with a dunk.

Such a layered tactic has not appeared on the Celtics for a long time.

If they persist, any team will become fearful.

After all, a strong team that can hit the ground can really drive people crazy on the court.

Easy to fight again.

The Magic's offense is biased towards the position, and the rhythm is slightly behind in the league.

But because most of them are young people, this makes them change their rhythm after they come to the frontcourt and run tactics.

Fournier took the lead in moving, coupled with the support of Payton Jr., the Magic team became faster and faster.

But they ran very well, and the Celtics were very comfortable.

They are hardly afraid of any fast-paced teams, as long as they want to, they will be faster and fiercer than them in an instant!
So in just a split second, Qin Tao and the others pressed on one after another, instantly causing the Magic team to brake like running!
But they seem to have thought about this situation a long time ago. Payton Jr. immediately gave Ucevic inside, and the latter played back singles with the ball.

Relatively speaking.

Amir Johnson's physique and tonnage are really not as good as the opponent, but the good thing is that his defensive experience is very rich, which makes Ucevic's offense not so smooth.

But as a traditional center and a European player, the job at hand is naturally very good.

Immediately, he suddenly turned around, and with a tiptoe, he made a mid-range hit.
