Legend Raiders

Chapter 1499 Easy to win
The poor performance in the first quarter made the atmosphere of the Raptors scene very strange.

The fans who were shouting loudly seemed to be very upset because of the result of the first quarter.

Even Derek, who was free to watch the match, now has a heavy expression on his face.

honestly.

Although this guy has a lot of quagmire, and he had some conflicts with Qin Tao about Rihanna before, but he is really one of the most sincere and purest about basketball among all entertainment stars!

Now that the team is playing like this, he is really deeply involved, and even has a slight sense of suffocation.

This can be seen.

How terrible the pressure the Celtics put on them!
Think about it too.

If any team encounters such a Celtics, if there is no pressure on them, it is completely nonsense.

Even if you are a bad team, the feeling of the players will not lie.

After all, to be able to enter this level of basketball league, even as a drinking fountain guard, competition and competitiveness are very strong!

As for the Raptors coach Casey, he can't relax at all now.

During these two years of coaching, he can be said to have watched the Raptors grow up.

What the Raptors were like before, and what the Raptors are now, this process is a very clear growth process.

At this stage.

The Raptors already have the strength to be at the forefront of the Eastern Conference. What they lack is only some tacit understanding and the players' on-the-spot performance on the court.

If you insist on finding a shortcoming, it must be the depth of their lineup and Coach Casey's attitude towards rotation players.

Among the starting lineup, DeRozan and Lowry are still the strongest.

But others are very functional, but they are very single after all.

Of course, they have former slam dunk champion Terrence Ross on their bench, Patrick Patterson, who is very versatile as an inside player, and Corey Joseph, who was dug from the Spurs.

But they only have so many rotation players, and Coach Casey doesn't trust the others at all!

Sometimes this kind of coach is also very old-fashioned.

If you can use other people a little more, you may get some unexpected surprises.

If Coach Casey had given Terrence Ross enough trust, I'm afraid this guy would have grown into the third leader of the Raptors, or even the one with a stronger status!

pity.

I don't know what happened between them, or what problems happened between the players and the team. No matter how good Terrence Ross performed, the trust given to him by the team was not enough to help him go further.

Now.

The Raptors can be said to be gloomy, and almost no one of the players said a word, and they were all silent.

Coach Casey was very annoyed, but he couldn't put pressure on them at this time, otherwise it would be like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The game was gone, and it would have a huge psychological impact on the players.

At least if they meet the Celtics again in the future, they will definitely feel innately untouchable.

This is a big taboo for any team!

You don't dare to play anymore, so why talk about winning or not winning?
The most important thing to do now is to help them adjust their mentality, and the other is to get along with each other quickly.

Isn't that what coaches do?
Otherwise, what's the use of you?

Next.

Coach Casey resisted the urge to roar and kept drawing tactical boards for the players.

Whether it is them or other teams, there is a consensus for the Celtics, that is, as long as they play well in the second quarter, at least some opportunities will be left for them in the next game.

If you grasp it, you may be able to turn against the wind.

If you can't grasp it, you can only meet a fiasco.

So when the second quarter started, even though DeRozan and the others were so frustrated before, facing most of the Celtics on the bench, they still dealt with everything in a desperate way!
This attitude directly pays them well.

When there were only 4 minutes left in the second quarter, they had already filled in the [-]-point hole dug in the first quarter to only eleven points!

As long as they persevere, after this quarter, the difference in points will not be too big.

however.

Their style of play suddenly stimulated the Celtics.

Everyone is competitive. Since the starters played such a strong performance in the first quarter, why do you think they are so poor that you can't even hold on to your advantage?
and so.

You can see Terry Rochester following Lowry like an octopus, and you can see Jack Crowder standing in front of the opposing player like an iron wall!

Even Avery Bradley, one of the starters, at this stage is like a bloodbath. Even if he is facing a good scorer DeRozan, his defensive efficiency is still very scary!

DeRozan's data of one of four shots fully illustrates this problem.

Coupled with the explosion of the international combination of Jokic and Dario Salic on the inside, the Celtics almost secured the victory after the second quarter!

These boys not only widened the point difference to [-] points again, but because of their defense, the Raptors players had emotional problems. Three starters in a row had four fouls on their backs!

What is this concept?
In the case of a full half of the game, the fault tolerance rate of the Raptors' three starters is astonishingly only twice!

Once they are directly exhausted in the third quarter, it will be a complete disaster for the Raptors!
In addition, they fought fiercely in this quarter. If their physical strength was overdrawn, they would really have no strength to fight back at all. They could only sit back and watch the Celtics do whatever they wanted.

Simply, Coach Casey is still reasonable, since the game can't be brought back, then let's just start training.

Players who usually don't get much playing time basically played all of them in the next third and fourth quarters.

So come on.

How do you let the Celtics put on any starter?
Therefore, after the Raptors gave the signal to admit defeat, and the Celtics also took turns to save face, the point difference at the end of the game was controlled at [-] points at least!

The Celtics beat the Raptors 115-100 away.

Not much difference.

But anyone who has seen it knows exactly what happened during the game.

As long as the Celtics think about it, the Raptors, one of the strongest teams in the East, will definitely suffer a miserable defeat!

after the game.

As a member of the press conference, Qin Tao was very humble no matter what problems he encountered.

After all, they were the ones who won the game, and if he said something unpleasant, it seemed that he was a bit of a villain.

The Raptors were naturally happy, but they praised the Celtics during the period.

At the end of this game, the Celtics will start a two-game streak in the West.

They will play the Thunder in the first game, and the second game will be with the Spurs.

These two games have different meanings. One is that Durant is going home, and the other is that he will face the Spurs, a veteran team in the West!
