Legend Raiders

Chapter 1260
The Celtics have won two straight victories recently, and that strong side instantly suppressed the previous discordant remarks.

Even though there were still some people who didn't like them, and even began to curse directly, but these were really meaningless to Qin Tao and the others.

Because all the remarks will eventually mean nothing in front of the record.

And the Celtics players who reversed the previous decline are enjoying a rare day of rest at this time.

Stevens didn't strictly ask them to continue training. After mental adjustment, the body still needs to rest.

in this way.

When it was January No. 15, seeing Qin Tao and the others again was already full of energy.

Today they still sit at home and welcome the challenge of the Suns.

Needless to say, this team has completely entered the rebuilding period, and the team is mostly young people.

among them.

Devin Booker has shown his offensive talent, but after all, his playing time is limited, and he hasn't exploded as much as a year or two later.

Coupled with a veteran Tyson Chandler sitting inside, the Suns are actually not bad, but the young people have a little more problems, which affect their record.

After the game started, the Celtics showed a very strong side.

When encountering this kind of team, they hardly need to think too much, just concentrate on attacking.

So when they scored 36 points in a single quarter, the Suns scored 25 points.

An eleven-point lead is basically a routine operation for the Celtics.

Then into the second quarter, they got a little bit more focused.

What kind of method should I ask?
In addition to their offensive end still full of firepower, the defensive end has also begun to gradually exert strength.

They scored 32 points again in this quarter, and scored more than 60 points in two quarters, which already indicates that they can clock in and get off work.

After the break, they did the same.

Stevens simply put on a full substitute, which gave the Suns some opportunities.

The most indispensable thing for young people is the desire to fight.

They were led so much by the Celtics at halftime, and now they are facing a full bench, so they naturally have to explode.

31 points.

The Suns' offensive ability is really good, and the Celtics' substitutes can't hold their heads up, which is very uncomfortable.

When entering the last quarter, it basically became the Suns starting against the Celtics as a substitute.

However, the final result disappointed the Suns slightly.

They have worked very hard to get back more points, but in the end they still fell by a lot.

25: 21.

The Suns lost the game with a score of 103:117 in the away game, giving the Celtics three consecutive victories.

the next day.

The Celtics once again ushered in their back-to-back challenges.

They are heading to the road this time, playing a game against the Wizards in Washington.

In this game, the Wizards played somewhat supernormally, and the Celtics seemed to be a little suspicious of old problems.

full game.

The Wizards played very aggressively, coupled with the cheering and cheering of the home fans, they really meant to crush everything.

But that's all.

As the Celtics worked hard in the last quarter, they not only filled up all the holes dug before, but also at the last moment, relying on Qin Tao's inside attack, they finally won by two points and won their fourth place. victory.

The score of 119:117 shows some problems.

The Celtics don't seem to be particularly concerned about defense. If the defensive end can be stronger, I'm afraid it won't be so difficult.

After the game, Stevens gave them a meeting.

Summarized the problem, it can be regarded as a reminder to them, must not relax.

But after a day off, when they challenged the Mavericks in an away game, what they were worried about happened.

The Mavericks played very proactively in this game and once dominated the offensive end.

And when entering the last section, something that almost made them have a nightmare happened suddenly.

Durant's old injury position is sore again.

But the most unacceptable thing is that Qin Tao actually suffered some small strains on the Achilles tendon of his right calf.

This position has huge hidden dangers for athletes.

If it is not dealt with in time, it may cause a serious tragedy.

So in order to protect their health and consider the future layout of the team, Stevens replaced them immediately.

in this way.

The Celtics, who lack all the main players, want to win the Mavericks who are very strong on the offensive end, which is basically a dream.

But the loss is not too much, 115:118, lost the game with three points.

This also ended the Celtics' four-game winning streak.

Come back home.

Qin Tao and Durant were immediately sent to the sports medical center to find the best doctor in Boston to diagnose their physical conditions.

After the doctor's diagnosis, Durant had a stress reaction and needed at least a week to recuperate.

As for Qin Tao.

There is good news and bad news.

The good news is that his Achilles tendon is not serious, just too tired, prompting the body to sound the alarm.

The bad news is that, like Durant, he needs a week or so to recuperate.

The truce between the two core players is definitely bad news for the Celtics!

If one of them does, that's fine for the team.

Now the sudden truce between both sides has given them a headache as to who can top their firepower.

In the next week, the Celtics will encounter a lot of trouble.

They will play away against the Raptors the day after tomorrow, the Bulls on the 22nd, the 24ers on the 76th, and the Wizards on the 25th.

Among these games, the most difficult ones are the Raptors and Bulls, followed by the Wizards, and the 76ers are the least threatening.

What the Celtics are most worried about now is whether the rest of them can stand up without Qin Tao!

David West still has abilities, but it would be a bit difficult for him to expect him to play at the level he used to be.

Jack Crowder is trustworthy, at least his defense is very strong.

in this way.

After the absence of Qin Tao, what they need most is who can top the offensive end.

But it's not all bad news for the Celtics.

At least without Qin Tao and Durant, all other players will get a lot of opportunities.

The next step is to see how they perform, and who can become the most reliable third scoring point for the team without the core!

soon.

Without Qin Tao and Durant, they finally ushered in the biggest test of the week.

They travel to Toronto to face the Raptors.

Relatively speaking.

Compared with some mid-range teams, the configuration of this Celtics is really not bad, but the offense is not so dominant.

But Qin Tao and Durant are here, and they dare not say that they will be sure against the Raptors. It is still a little embarrassing for them to expect them to perform miracles.

So the final result was not very good, the Celtics lost on the road.

But what makes Qin Tao and Durant happy is that without their lineup, they are only six points behind the Raptors.

But what surprised them the most, and even excited them, was Isiah Thomas's 21 points, 10 assists and 4 rebounds, Avery Bradley's 19 points, Jack Crowder's 17 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds. With Nikola Jokic's 4 points, [-] assists and [-] rebounds, they were blinded!
