Legend Raiders

Chapter 1226
Physical strength faintly brought a little threat to the Spurs.

Had they been up against an average team, this might not have been a problem.

But what they encountered was the Celtics, even one of the strongest opponents this season, which will bury some hidden dangers for them.

Because of the Celtics' style and style of play, they will never give the Spurs too much easy time.

do not forget.

Once the Celtics fight to defend, it is really a game of life, and it is bound to expend a lot of physical energy into the confrontation.

at the moment.

Popovich can be said to put a little advantage on Ginobili.

But because he is injured, it is not clear whether he can really help the team.

of course.

He is not an irresponsible coach, but the team doctor has said that Ginobili can play now, so he has such an idea.

in this way.

When Ginobili was asked by him, the veteran nodded very freely: "I have no problem, it's okay to play for 10 minutes."

Popovich nodded with a smile.

A veteran like Ginobili knows exactly what to do and doesn't have to worry too much.

With Ginobili's own confirmation, Popovich has more arrangements and tactical changes for the second half of the game.

Duncan and the others relaxed after hearing this.

honestly.

They're getting a little tougher now.

After all, this is just a regular season.

It is because of their situation with the Celtics that the Spurs must respond in this way.

There is nothing wrong with it.

As for the Celtics, they continued to be excited one by one.

soon.

Following the reminder from the staff, they left the locker room one after another and headed towards the arena.

Enter the venue.

The fans at the scene are already in place, looking very excited and looking forward to the next game.

Given that the Spurs took the lead in the first half, Stevens asked them to try to break points as much as possible before Qin Tao and the others entered the field.

to be honest.

He wants to rely on the personal abilities of Qin Tao and Durant to fight back the previous disadvantages.

He was sure that the two brothers had that ability, and it depended on how the Spurs responded. It could be regarded as testing the Spurs' hole cards in advance.

Play.

The two sides started, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, opened up their battles one after another, ready to have a good fight.

Isiah Thomas took the ball and immediately responded to Stevens' instructions. When Qin Tao and Durant moved, he immediately accelerated.

The three of them ran in a triangle, like a sharp sword, and rushed towards the frontcourt.

Amir Johnson and Avery Bradley were not idle either. They also ran all the way, but dragged a little behind, obviously ready to respond.

Under the impact of the Celtics, the Spurs obviously had some delays and accidents, and they were all in a state of mad pursuit.

frontcourt.

Qin Tao went straight to the inside line at the first time, but Aldridge's speed was not good enough, so Danny Green could only rush up and entangle him.

Ready-made big and small, Isiah Thomas gave him the ball immediately.

Needless to say, Danny Green's defense is good, but he is not at the same level as Qin Tao.

Boom!

Qin Tao completed the dunk very fiercely, but he returned to defense immediately when he landed. He just clapped his hands to celebrate when he passed by his teammates.

His expression and emotions looked very calm, and wisps of nervous feeling lingered from him.

Trouble.

Popovich frowned slightly, the last thing he wanted to see happened.

If this is the Celtics of last season, it is nothing more than letting Qin Tao go and killing others.

But they still have Durant now. Leonard's defensive ability is strong, but it doesn't mean that restrictions can limit this veteran super giant!
in this way.

Just the two of them could cost the Spurs a lot of defensive energy.

Once they play some internal and external cooperation, the Spurs' defense will encounter huge challenges!

The only good thing is that the Spurs can end a lot of players.

Both Duncan and Aldridge are capable on the inside, and Leonard and Tony Parker on the outside are also quite stable.

If it weren't for Danny Green's a bit unstable aim, then they can be said to be a lineup where five players can score points.

at the moment.

After they came to the frontcourt steadily, Aldridge couldn't count on it, and Leonard's side was not so easy, so naturally they had to be handed over to Duncan.

honestly.

Amir Johnson defended well, but after meeting Duncan, he seemed a little nervous.

It's not that he's mentally tense, but his defense always feels shaky.

Don't look at Duncan's age is on the verge of retirement, but his personal ability is really beyond the reach of ordinary players.

Besides, Duncan himself is a defensive expert, he knows what Amir Johnson wants.

and so.

When he started to turn his back, Amir Johnson subconsciously pressed forward, which was Duncan's plan.

I saw Duncan suddenly turned halfway, leaning against Amir Johnson and it was an easy little hook.

Change or not?
When Qin Tao handed the ball to Isiah Thomas, he couldn't help thinking about this issue.

If he comes to defend Duncan, then there is at least a [-]% probability that this old man will not be able to play.

But once Aldridge is released to Amir Johnson, it will not be an easy task with the former's personal ability.

At least in their previous seasons of confrontation, Amir Johnson was at a disadvantage.

Not cost-effective.

When Qin Tao came to the frontcourt, completed a response, and made an air cut to the inside, he immediately abandoned his previous thoughts, received Durant's high-profile ball, and it was a dunk!
Two consecutive dunks caused a riot among the fans.

Qin Tao's attack power can be called fierce, and no one can stop him.

After landing, he ran to Amir Johnson's side, and while running back, he said, "Man, work harder."

Amir Johnson blushed, looked at Qin Tao's back, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

Why is he worth tens of millions of annual salary?

If it weren't for his defense, the Celtics would have looked down on him.

at this time.

When Qin Tao started to break points and when Durant focused on defending Leonard, he actually became the team's breakthrough point, which is too embarrassing.

Even if he met Duncan, it wasn't the Stone Buddha at his peak.

As long as you work harder and focus more, at least you don't limit Duncan by [-]%?

in this way.

When he faced Duncan again, the tough defense arrived immediately.

Sensing Amir Johnson's defensive attitude, Duncan couldn't help but smile wryly.

Although he has always maintained a good state, but if you really want to play against young people, his body is really not an opponent.

Simply put, in the previous games, Duncan was basically paddling. Now, even though he was confronted by Amir Johnson in advance, it is not very false.

But this state can't last for too long, it depends on whether his teammates can stand up quickly.

however.

Duncan is still thinking about it, and the situation on the court has changed suddenly!
