Chapter 1497 Fighting the Raptors

Day off on the eighth.

In this day's training, the performance of the Celtics simply made Stevens secretly speechless.

Even though this day was only for team training, he was really surprised by the state of the players, especially the excitement of Qin Tao and Durant on the court.

Because even if Qin Tao and the others changed the status quo and played the next game with a strong side, they did not expect their adjustment ability and appeal to be so strong!

Besides them, the other people's states are also very strong.

The Celtics gave him the feeling of a victorious army. Only this kind of army can give people such a feeling.

happy.

Stevens was grinning from ear to ear. It was a blessing to be able to coach such a team.

Next.

Qin Tao and Durant spontaneously organized a small meeting with their teammates.

Everyone is pretty good at talking, but talking too much doesn't mean it's messy, it's quite organized.

Qin Tao really feels very comfortable, and he likes this kind of enough communication to create enough fighting power.

The next morning.

Qin Tao and the others got on the plane to Toronto early in the morning.

Although the Raptors belong to the Eastern Conference team, it is still a bit too far for most teams.

It was late when they arrived in Toronto, so they took a little rest and began to adapt to the venue.

Their opponent on the [-]th is the Raptors. In addition to the Cavaliers and Warriors, the Raptors are actually one of the opponents of the Celtics.

Especially the Raptors this season.

They have achieved a record of [-] wins and [-] losses so far. Although they are not as good as the first group, they have made great progress compared to last season.

After all, in some previous games, they were not only tough on defense, but also made great progress on the offensive end.

in this way.

As the night fell, many fans began to enter the stadium one after another.

Because there is only one NBA team in Canada, naturally there are a lot of fans present to support it.

soon.

As players from both sides entered the field one after another, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became different.

have to say.

Although the Raptors are based on defense, they have not cultivated the emotions of the fans into a state of stability and few words, which can be regarded as a small gain.

Entering the players' bench, the coaches of the two teams made suggestions for the next game.

With the end of the warm-up and appearance ceremony, the starting list will appear.

The Celtics have not changed, still led by Qin Tao and Durant.

The Raptors' lineup is center Jonas Valanciunas, power forward Pascal Siakam, and small forward DeMar DeRozan. This change is a bit surprising.

But seeing rookie Norman Powell go to the backcourt with Lowry, I can understand it a little bit.

Powell's draft pick is not high, and he was the No.15 pick in the second round in 16.

His upper limit should have been a qualified substitute player, but his performance in the past two years has already made people look forward to it.

His height was enough to play in the backcourt before, 1.9 meters three is completely enough.

But in this fast and fierce era, it is still a little bit low.

But it is precisely because of this gap that he left a very deep impression on people.

Because he has a very strong physical fitness and an exaggerated wingspan of 11 meters, which makes him not small on the defensive end.

And as he grows, the draft template has become clearer and clearer, which is the league's well-known defensive leader, Tony Allen.

However, his shooting ability is much better than Tony Allen, so his role in the team has become very conspicuous.

With his defensive bonus in the backcourt, at least the sharp-edged players of other teams are not so comfortable to easily score points.

in this way.

Players from both sides began to walk on the field.

After the meeting, they were very kind, but the Raptors players still keenly felt the difference of the Celtics.

They seem to have gotten tougher.

That kind of feeling is very strange, as long as you touch it, you will find it.

Qin Tao came to the end of the center line, made a few jokes with Valanciunas, and then got ready to jump the ball.

The head referee tonight is not a leading figure, but a middle-aged man from the referee union. It seems that there are not many games of law enforcement.

However, with a whistle, the referee's operation was very standardized.

Qin Tao took off vigorously and easily won the ball for the team.

Hurry up!

Since the decision to attack forcefully had been made before, it must be implemented immediately.

As Qin Tao ran fast, Jason Terry, who got the ball, responded quickly and accelerated the pace immediately.

Others followed immediately, making Celtic's first ball very powerful.

However, a small accident still slowed down their rhythm slightly.

Raptors forward Pascal Siakam actually reacted immediately, and happened to be not far from Qin Tao.

Qin Tao was not very impressed with this player.

At least last season, he hardly had any chance to match up with him.

just now.

A guy who was a rookie last season actually became the team's starter, so he naturally has his ability.

Since the rhythm was slightly disrupted, Qin Tao would not let go of the opportunity to educate newcomers.

Then start to ask for positions inside.

Don't say it.

Siakam can play the starter, really has two brushes.

He seems to have a weak body, but his strength is quite good.

However, feeling the way the opponent exerted his strength after holding his breath, Qin Tao still had a clue in his heart.

This indicates that Siakam will not be able to relax at all, and has even used all his strength to counter Qin Tao.

This is easy to do.

Since this is a tough master, there are almost no problems in fighting.

catch the ball.

Others opened up space for Qin Tao.

There are only him and Siakam inside, then he can use any method to end the battle!

however.

Siakam's defense surprised Qin Tao again.

Because this guy seems to be struggling, but he can still make some mature defensive player moves.

Relying on his long arms, Siakam defended the lower plate and did not forget to harass Qin Tao's ball holder.

Don't say it.

This made Qin Tao feel uncomfortable, and Siakam's slightly stiff unloading test made him feel it immediately.

Since he wants some technology, Qin Tao will not push it brute force!

back.

Bang bang bang!
The tyrannical back-up singles made Siakam gasp for an instant. The powerful impact force was something he had never experienced before.

Even though he occasionally confronts top insiders during the game, he has never felt so powerful in isolation.

And the joy brought by a series of operations just now was instantly wiped away by Qin Tao's back.

then.

Qin Tao turned around suddenly, which caused Siakam to shift his center of gravity. He turned around again and picked the basket lightly.

The basketball came in at the sound, and this ball can be called flowing.
