Legend Raiders

Chapter 153 Showdown with the "Hulk"

Six forty.

Most of the fans in the Toyota Center are already seated, cheering along with the cheerleaders and the team's activities, and no one is going to do something discordant.

In the locker rooms of the two teams, the final arrangement was very interesting.

There are no tactical arrangements, no coaches to preach.

Some were eating, drinking, laughing and joking, without any atmosphere of competition at all.

Rockets locker room.

Qin Tao seems to have completely escaped from the previous trance after experiencing what happened in the meeting room, chatting and laughing with Harden and the others, each holding a stack of things in their arms, talking while eating.

not long time.

With 15 minutes left in the game, the two teams left the locker room and gathered in the tunnel to cheer.

I don't know when, the rookies of the Rockets, except Qin Tao, everyone's pre-game show has become a must for them.

Today is Terrence Jones.

Under the booing of Harden and the others, this guy showed the significance of a musical genius on the spot, and Qin Tao and the others' scalps were numb when they sang straight.

After all, this was just a small ceremony. After laughing and laughing, everyone walked straight to the exit of the passage.

With their appearance, there was cheers in the arena.

This group of young men who play very passionately seems to let them see infinite hope, and even return to the meaning of that glorious time again.

As for the appearance of the Celtics, they didn't get much cheers as a matter of course, and they all looked very indifferent. They gathered in the players' benches, waiting to start warming up.

Warm up.

The two teams basically warm up their bodies so that they will not be injured due to some excessive movements after playing.

Next.

The grand appearance ceremony started as usual. Although Qin Tao was not the main player, when the DJ read his name, there was an astonishing uproar in the arena.

Make sense.

It is true that the fans present did not give face to the main players.

But the American character is like this, since I like you, I will never consider anything else.

Back off the field.

The main players of the two teams played some small rituals with other players.

When the bald referee Crawford, who hadn't seen him for a long time, signaled, the main players of the two teams walked towards the court one after another.

Celtic here.

The center position is good in physical fitness, and he is performing pretty well now. Brandon Bass, who has not declined in form, has played so far. Although the average data per game of this guy has decreased compared with last season, he still has plenty of energy. The defensive end performed well.

There is no doubt about the position of power forward, of course it is Kevin Garnett, who loves to growl and is said to be quite hard.

Needless to say, the small forward position, there is no one except Uncle Pi.

The shooting guard is Courtney Lee, the point guard is Coach Long, and so is Rajon Rondo.

The Rockets here.

They still continued the established lineup. Even though Qin Tao played quite explosively, the coaching staff didn't seem to have the idea to promote him as the main force.

of course.

The arrangement of the coaching staff knows what it means with my ass.

With Qin Tao's substitute and without Qin Tao's substitute, there are simply two groups of people.

and.

With Qin Tao's blessing, McHale's choices in various arrangements will have a lot of changes. After all, coming off the bench may not necessarily lose this stage, and may even play some exciting games.

Game start.

Compared with Asik, it goes without saying that Bass is better than this guy even if he covers half of his face.

The ball came to Rondo's hands, and the Celtics pressed forward.

Well known.

Doc Rivers' coaching style is really ambiguous.

Some people say that he is a very good defensive coach, but in the years when he won the championship, the biggest hero is undoubtedly Xibo.

also.

Because the Celtics' state has declined extremely rapidly in the past few years after winning the championship, and there are some off-court factors mixed in, I am afraid that Doug Rivers has gradually become the focus of being hacked in the past few years.

of course.

If one looks carefully for information about him, just through the mouths of other players, it will be clear how popular a coach is.

There are a large number of players in the league who are outspoken, and Doug Rivers is definitely one of the best coaches in their mouths.

This can be seen.

Apart from the real coaching ability, it's just Rivers' handling of interpersonal relationships. McHale is like a younger brother to him.

Back on the pitch.

The Celtics played very conservatively, and did not act immediately, but played a positional battle calmly.

The pace slows down.

The Rockets players are somewhat uncomfortable.

But the game is like this, at least half of the victory is achieved by controlling the rhythm.

Moved.

The Celtics want to play slowly, and the Rockets are absolutely impossible to make them happy.

The Rockets suddenly put extremely strong defensive pressure on the Celtics, and they were forced to move.

Fortunately, there are many star players in the team. After Rondo's threatening breakthrough, he didn't even look at the passing route, and then distributed the ball at that time.

Pierce gets the ball.

Uncle Pi was not a master of speed in his career.

Facing the young Parsons, Pierce immediately showed great ability.

Fake action.

Change the tempo.

The superb technology is unobstructed, your uncle is still your uncle!

Parsons panicked.

Although he is very active, he is inexperienced in rhythm and his own talent is not enough. When Pierce seized the opportunity to break through and rushed to the inside with the ball, he could only follow all the way, forcing Pierce to make some mistakes. Can defend him.

pity.

Pierce is Pierce after all, using the rhythm change of stop and go, one step away from Parsons, as if holding a dynamite bag, he rushed to the free throw line very simply.

collision!

The tough physical confrontation made the bayonet of the inside line red.

Patterson desperately entangled with Garnett, while Asik used his weight to gradually gain some advantage from Bath's confrontation.

Stopped!

Pierce has a lot of experience. Before Parsons can catch up, the insider has not yet decided whether he is good or bad. He stopped and opened his hand to score two points.

celebrate.

Points were scored in the first round, which made Pierce's mental state very high.

Just as Rondo gave him a high-five, the Garnetts were about to return to defense, but the Rockets had already issued a basketball, like a pack of wild wolves, pushing forward at an extremely fast speed.

Intercept!

The Celtics were startled and quickly stopped them.

Relying on the experience and personal ability on the defensive end, after the two sides advanced to the frontcourt, the Rockets' speed stagnated.

Purpose is clear.

The ball was quickly handed over to Harden, and the space was quickly opened up by them, as if they were playing singles.

coming.

Facing Xiao Li in front of him, Harden can see from his movements that he is quite confident.

When Courtney Lee faced Harden, although his defense did not lose his position, and he has already had defensive skills a few years later, but his body is not as good as it is, and facing a growing superstar, his defense is not good enough. Possesses a great threat.

not to mention.

Since Harden can do some fancy moves in the street, he has already told Xiao Li that you can't guard against me.

really.

With the reappearance of Harden's retreat, Xiao Li has worked very hard, but he still can't stop Harden's microwave-like touch.

The ball goes in.

Harden scored a three-pointer for the Rockets.
