Legend Raiders

Chapter 1232 The last minute and a half
Who said Lian Po is old?

Looking at Ginobili celebrating with his teammates, Qin Tao couldn't help admiring a veteran like him.

Everyone may know the value of the elderly, but when something happens, they subconsciously ignore them.

Competitive sports place the most importance on age and body, but in games like the three major balls, you really can't underestimate the role of veterans.

Otherwise, every time a star goes down the peak, there will be a lot of teams chasing them.

They may not be able to play three or four 10 minutes, but as long as they are given fifteen to two 10 minutes, then they are still a strong support.

as now.

With the Spurs trailing the Celtics by more than ten points, no one doubts that the Spurs will come back because they have a top veteran.

Ginobili's three-pointer gave the Spurs an immediate shot in the arm.

When the Celtics started to attack, they suddenly showed aggression that hadn't been seen in a long time.

The Spurs' defense is extremely targeted. Given that the Celtics have Qin Tao and Durant, they are very decisive and resolute in defense!

Just say now.

As soon as Qin Tao got the ball, Aldridge and Duncan swarmed up, almost causing him to make a forced error, and it was extremely embarrassing to pass it out.

Durant, who was on the outside line, also encountered thorny troubles when Qin Tao was double-teamed.

Leonard and Danny Green actually have a tacit understanding of defense. As long as he runs, he will definitely intercept and double-team.

This sudden targeted defense made the Celtics' offense encounter a huge challenge.

Isiah Thomas couldn't find the core of the team, so he only tried to cooperate with Avery Bradley and even Amir Johnson.

But the Spurs' defense is really not just talking, they are extremely linked, and the tacit understanding between the players is also very strong.

This made the Celtics' offense abruptly dragged to the last six seconds, and it was already impossible to organize an offense.

Hemp egg!

Qin Tao directly withdrew from the inside line, came to a high position and quickly responded to Isiah Thomas.

catch the ball.

Facing Aldridge, Qin Tao didn't care about anything else, and directly used the means of a small forward to complete the attack.

That's how it should be said.

With the super strength of his teammates, Aldridge suddenly felt like going all out.

In the past, when he faced Qin Tao's defense, he was more or less afraid to fight. Now Li just completed the defense with Duncan, and now when the Celtics were nervous, he naturally fought like chicken blood and was extremely tough. Get entangled.

Qin Tao was blocked immediately, and because the two were too close, he didn't dare to make a big move.

Once irrational behavior occurs at this time, the referee will not blow any star whistle, and will give what should be given immediately, and this is the home court of the Spurs.

Nothing.

Seeing that the time was approaching, Qin Tao hastily made a step back that he was not good at, and then shot the three-pointer in a somewhat out-of-shape manner.

Bang!
As expected, he missed the shot, and under Duncan's top position, he took off the board immediately.

Landing.

The Spurs' style of play has changed drastically!

I saw that Ginobili and Leonard changed their previous tactical requirements, like two fast horses, they rushed towards the frontcourt.

The Celtics, who are used to most of the court, experienced a defensive lag at that time.

Especially Avery Bradley on this one.

He didn't expect that the old man would charge wildly, so he could only chase after him desperately.

But at the moment Tony Parker received a pass from Duncan, the basketball had already appeared in the frontcourt, only two steps away from Leonard.

then.

Even if Durant has two long legs, he just can't stand up to Leonard's impact and speed.

hold the ball.

Shock.

Dunk!

Leonard did this set of movements smoothly, as if in a training match, and it looked extremely relaxed.

The atmosphere on the scene reached its highest point in an instant, because the gap between the Spurs and the Celtics is only a small six points.

It only takes two more for them to tie the Celtics!
And there are still 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter!

With so much time, with the ability of the Spurs, there is bound to be a high probability of being able to fight back!
And Stevens immediately called a timeout, which eased the atmosphere a little.

Back off the field.

Stevens was in a rare hurry.

He spoke very quickly to arrange for Qin Tao and the others, and even scolded them for some behaviors during the period.

Especially their concentration on the field.

If they could concentrate, how could they have been caught off guard by the Spurs two consecutive hits just now!
Another is the internal and external echoes between Qin Tao and Durant.

They have no personal ability, but just like before, Qin Tao has some sticky balls, Durant also has a little bit of standing, which allows the Spurs to seize the opportunity.

If you want to say that the Spurs are really so aggressive, think about their situation throughout the game, it's really not the case.

As for why they played like this, one is that their ability to seize the opportunity is very strong, and the other is that they caught the Celtics' psychology and wanted to catch them off guard.

At present, all their goals have been achieved, and the physical problems almost cancel each other out.

Now it depends on how the Celtics will respond, and whether the Spurs will completely play their lives.

Pause ends.

With more than a minute left in this game, it seems that the entire venue is filled with thick gunpowder.

Everyone knew that there would be a life-and-death battle between them, and this minute or so would be the most quintessential part of the game!

pass the ball.

Qin Tao handed it over to Isiah Thomas, with a serious expression on his face, and pushed forward with his teammates.

They did not play impact tactics, but came to the frontcourt steadily.

The Spurs have settled down one after another, and the players are constantly communicating with each other, and the coordination is extremely strong!
But what they didn't expect was that the Celtics suddenly started a halftime run.

Their running positions can be said to be very disordered, there is no organization at all, they just keep running and passing the ball.

in this way.

No matter how strong the Spurs' defense is, it is not strong enough to contain the chaos!
When Qin Tao and Durant played a high pick-and-roll, the Spurs suffered a devastating blow inside instantly!

I saw Qin Tao give Durant a continuous left and right cover, forcing Aldridge and Leonard to squeeze together, and then the two ran in the same direction at the same time.

This was completely beyond their expectations, and Qin Tao and Durant rushed in the same direction, making everyone's attention on them.

at the same time.

Isiah Thomas made a decisive decision and handed the ball to Durant for the first time, and then pulled it to the bottom corner on the other side.

Tony Parr's defensive attention seems to be on him, but in fact he still pays attention to the movements of Qin Tao and the two, after all, they are extremely destructive.

But as Qin Tao and Durant quickly moved left and right, they deliberately attracted the attention of other defenders, and then saw Durant breaking through with the ball and hitting the free throw line was a fake shot and a true pass.

Bottom corner!

Everyone on the Spurs looked to the left.

I saw that Isiah Thomas still had time to adjust his shot, and then it was an easy three-pointer!

Nine points!

This goal not only stabilized the decline, but also widened the point difference again.

The anger that ordered the Spurs was almost contained by the naked eye, and the players were obviously a little emotional.

Next.

The Spurs' offense has returned to normal, and the rhythm belongs to them, but time is running out.

It's Ginobili again.

He was like an unpredictable spirit snake, not only broke Bradley's defense, but also went straight to the inside. While scoring points, he caused Qin Tao's foul.

2+1.

The veteran used his actions to bring the team back again.

The point difference is approaching six points, and there are still 50 seconds left!
When the Celtics attacked, they completely gave up the fast-playing rhythm, trying to hold down the time as much as possible, and did not give the Spurs a chance to counterattack.

This attack took a full 20 seconds. Even if the goal was missed in the end, only 30 seconds were left for the Spurs.

It is not a problem to score six points in 30 seconds.

But as far as the Celtics' defensive ability is concerned, it is really difficult for them to fight back.

They tried to play fast on the first ball, Leonard and Ginobili both linked up, Duncan and Aldridge tried to open the inside line as much as possible, and completed the attack in ten seconds.

Two points.

They are still four points away from the Celtics, but there is only one chance to attack in time.

foul?

Who is it?

After they scored two points back, Stevens replaced Jokic. After all, Amir Johnson's free throws were really bad.

Nothing.

They could only do this, wanting to affect Qin Tao's feeling, they acted like a gamble.

Qin Tao stood on the free throw line.

He looked at the basket in front of him and 15 seconds above the backboard, held his breath, and completed the free throw.

One of two free throws.

The point difference widened to seven points.

Then the Spurs served quickly, Leonard and Ginobili had the most control, and the Celtics naturally defended them stronger.

resignedly.

With ten seconds left, it could only be terminated by old Duncan.

Simply, the more critical this old man is, the more stable he is, and he hits a two-point shot again, closing the difference between the two sides to six points.

But for ten seconds, the ball is not theirs yet, and it is really difficult to hit it back.

Qin Tao can make one of two free throws, so the next time he is not sure, he will make two free throws.

But the Spurs have no good way, they can only foul again and lock the time in the last seven seconds.

Qin Tao stood on the free throw line again, this time very steadily, and made two free throws.

With a full eight-point difference, everyone is not optimistic that the Spurs will be able to recover.

After Ginobili created another miracle and played an amazing 3+1 on Bradley, the atmosphere on the scene completely exploded.

Four points!

There are three seconds left!
This time, however, the Spurs were not so lucky.

Because Qin Tao and the others are running all over the field, the basketball is constantly passing, and the time is exhausted!

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game and the score of the two teams was fixed at 110:106, there were sighs of regret, but more applause.

The Spurs have worked hard and are only four points away from victory.

Besides, the game process was very exciting, whether it was the top customers in the front row or the fans in the last row, they all felt hearty and enjoyable!
