Legend Raiders

Chapter 1396
Looking at the familiar faces, Stevens was suddenly troubled by happiness.

According to their regular rotation, since entering the playoffs, it is almost rare to replace the full-substitute lineup in the second quarter.

Because there must be absolutely no mistakes at this stage, it is a bit arrogant to replace the lineup with all substitutes.

but.

In this game, they led the Warriors by [-] points in the first quarter. With so many leads in their hands, it was a bit unreasonable not to replace all the substitutes.

But Stevens has done a lot of research on the Warriors, and he is afraid that if he replaces all the substitutes, he will be called back by a wave.

How to say?
Stevens rubbed his chin, not much time between quarters.

Why not?

Stevens stopped his fingers and suddenly had an idea.

Back on the field.

The Warriors were a little relieved by the Celtics lineup.

Although they didn't replace all the substitutes, there was only one Durant, which is good news for the Warriors.

That's right.

Since you can't make up your mind, let Rochelle feel wronged.

This lineup is headed by Durant, supplemented by Jack Crowder, Jason Terry, David West and Amir Johnson.

Their lineup almost revolves around Durant, and everyone else will basically be placed in the defensive position.

of course.

These support guys don't only know how to defend.

Jason Terry's basket, David West's inside skills, coupled with Jack Crowder's spot-up shooting, they are not a pure defensive lineup.

The Warriors, on the other hand, are a little bolder.

They put both Curry and Thompson on the court, which already shows their attitude.

That is to let the two guns in the backcourt to win!
As long as their feel and state improve, even if the physical exertion is greater, it is still worth it.

After all, they are still young, and their physical strength should recover faster.

Open fight.

The Warriors handed the ball to Sean Livingston, and the others immediately ran upfield.

The nature of their lineup is the same as that of the Celtics, and they all play around the core of the team.

So the other three basically play for Curry and Thompson.

Sway the horse.

The Warriors were a little more cautious, and did not directly lead the rhythm, and looked very stable.

But as Thompson's off-ball movement began, the Warriors' speed gradually picked up.

But what makes them a little uncomfortable is that the Celtics, whether it is Durant or Jack Crowder, can almost keep up with their rhythm.

However, Thompson's off the ball is really good.

After the teammates' screens were in place, Thompson only took three or four seconds to go around a half court and quickly got the chance to make a shot.

have to say.

He is such a rare top scorer!

In the past ten years, if we can find a similar player, it may be one of the five tigers of the Pistons, "Mask Man" Richard Hamilton.

But both are masters off the ball, but Thompson's shooting ability is super powerful!

Now receiving a pass from a teammate, he shoots directly from beyond the three-point line. Just the feeling of flowing clouds and flowing water, people can't help but praise.

Sit down.

Qin Tao was not stingy with his praise, except that he didn't applaud or cheer, and his expression was really rich.

And with Thompson's three-pointer, the [-]-point difference between them was also reduced to [-] points.

Easy to fight again.

Durant's fighting spirit was extremely high. When he came to the frontcourt, his teammates immediately opened up space for him, and they threw themselves into the battle without even thinking about it.

Facing Andre Iguodala, Durant played extremely aggressively. Relying on his height and long arms and good talent, after a series of moves, no matter whether he is a defensive hunk, he made an exaggerated step-back jumper , You will know it when you shoot it.

shuh~~
The basketball obediently got into the basket. Although the movement was not very beautiful, it was better than that.

Iguodala is really depressed, who knew Durant would be so fierce!
This is not to say how seriously his defense has degraded, it's just that he has been injured for a long time, and it will take time to get back to his form.

However, judging from his footsteps and physical condition, the only difference now is reaction and prediction.

He has been guarding against it for many years, and these things will come back soon.

in this way.

The Warriors are Thompson, the Celtics are Durant.

These two are like the main generals on the field, you cut me off with a knife, and I will give you a big axe.

The second quarter reached the 6th minute without knowing it, and because both sides played very smoothly, and the Warriors were slightly better, the coaches of both teams could accept it, so naturally they didn't call a timeout.

But considering the second half of the game, Steve Kerr gritted his teeth and called a timeout with [-] points left.

It's time for a replacement.

Even if Curry and Thompson are replaced, their offense will suffer a lot, but their other starters will not lose a point.

At least Iguodala and Green can still make a lot of contributions from time to time.

But it also depends on whether Qin Tao can make it, and whether Durant will give Iguodala a chance to show.

As for Qin Tao.

Sorry.

After evaluating the situation on the field, Stevens still asked Durant to lead the team to play.

However, they still made personnel adjustments.

Considering Amir Johnson's physical strength and defensive ability, Stevens replaced David West.

Looking at the veteran who didn't care, Stevens quickly explained to him with a wry smile.

honestly.

It's true that David West came to hug his thigh, but everyone else was still the top power forward in the league last year.

Although due to age and physical problems, David West has been close to retirement after the start of this season, but his ability is still there, enough to support about 25 minutes of playing time, and he can still perform well.

just now.

Just because he had no sense of presence in the 6 minutes just now, he was replaced by Stevens, and it would be uncomfortable for another person.

But when Stevens finished speaking cautiously, David West just grinned at him, and immediately sat down beside Qin Tao.

Looking at this old man, Qin Tao has a great feeling for him.

David West is straight-forward and steely about most things.

If I could describe it in one simple sentence, it would be that it is extremely quack!
Qin Tao likes him very much, so the two chatted very speculatively.

Now.

Qin Tao turned the corner to comfort him, but David West didn't care. He said that he accepted all the team's arrangements, and there was no such thing as a brat.

Qin Tao really admires David West's mentality.

But thinking about this obsession with the championship, I really respect him, he has given up a lot.

at the same time.

The two teams, which have replaced some players on the field, have already started their collision in the second half of the second quarter.
