Legend Raiders

Chapter 1571

The first game on the [-]st is the battle between the Cavaliers and the Celtics, which has made countless fans look forward to it.

If you say which pair of games is the most eye-catching in the NBA this season, it must be between the Cavaliers and the Celtics.

Just because these two teams almost represent the strongest level in today's NBA, the collision between them is definitely a spark hitting the earth.

And the most important point is that the confrontation between them can be said to be an early stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.

This does not mean to belittle the other teams in the East, but their level is really far behind these two teams.

In the venue.

As Qin Tao and James entered the field one after another, the scene immediately burst into cheers and noise.

Everyone stared straight at the two players, as if they wanted to see something on their faces.

But all they were left with was the silence of the players on both sides.

Especially for the Cavaliers led by James, the players all looked very serious, as if a battle of life and death was about to start.

Qin Tao and the others should calm down.

After all, the two teams don't play each other once or twice, and they have an advantage psychologically.

warm up.

Appearance ceremony.

In the anticipation of the fans, the players of both sides completed the pre-match activities.

Back off the field.

Stevens became a little more serious, and he was very cautious about the arrangements for the players.

Don't blame him either.

The outside world knows the situation of the Celtics and the Cavaliers. As the head coach, how could he not know what the meaning is.

As long as they beat the Cavaliers at this time, even if there are still some days left in the playoffs, then their confidence will not weaken next time they meet.

Once they win the Cavaliers one after another, Stevens is sure that as long as they meet the Cavaliers in the playoffs, they can only be the final victors!
The same is true for the Cavaliers.

As challengers, they are more aware of the significance of winning and losing between them.

As Stevens thinks, if the Cavaliers want to make a difference, at least in the regular season you have to win the Celtics.

I don't want to win every time, but I want to be able to play evenly.

But in the previous battles between them, almost all the Cavaliers lost, which made them very uncomfortable.

They are going for the championship, and now they are suppressed by the Celtics again and again, and no one is holding back a lot of resentment.

And on this court, resentment won't win you.

If you want to win the final victory, you must fight back with real strength!
soon.

The starters of both sides began to appear one after another.

The Celtics lineup remains unchanged, mainly Jokic, Qin Tao, Durant, Jaylen Brown and Isiah Thomas.

And the team also ushered in good news, Avery Bradley returned from injury!
His return can bring more changes to the team, and his defense can bring a lot of help to the team's back line.

The Cavaliers have some helpless changes.

Kevin Love is sidelined due to injury, which will cause huge problems for their interior.

of course.

Even if Le Fu comes back, because he met Qin Tao, the effect may not be good, so he might as well go to heal his injuries temporarily.

Center Tristan Thompson, veteran Channing Frye replaced Love at power forward, James at small forward, Iman Shumpert at shooting guard, and Irving at point guard.

Their lineup, except for Frye, can be regarded as the regular configuration of the Cavaliers.

As a result, the fans at the scene suddenly sighed with regret.

Because this is not the strongest Cavaliers team, without a giant, the level of excitement will be much less.

But there is no way.

Injury is always the enemy of the players. If you want to not get injured in your career, it is almost rare, and there are very few in the history of the league.

midfield position.

Qin Tao greeted the players of the Cavaliers one after another, and the smiles on their faces looked harmless to humans and animals.

Tristan Thompson was a little awkward and uncomfortable, but Qin Tao was his lifelong enemy.

As for James and the others, they didn't think so much, they stepped forward and hugged one by one, which was full of kindness.

But when Qin Tao and James hugged, even though the latter said some polite words, they still hugged with some force.

Qin Tao bared his teeth and smiled. This was a demonstration for him in advance.

But that's it. Only after a real fight will we know who is the final winner.

jump ball.

The referee threw the basketball into the air, and suddenly heard Thompson roar.

have to say.

Without Qin Tao, Thompson's jump ball record would definitely be among the best in the league.

Especially his physical fitness is top-notch among inside players.

pity.

The one that bites never barks.

Seeing that Qin Tao came first, he lightly tapped the ball with his fingertips, and the basketball immediately went to their side.

Isiah Thomas grabbed the ball before Irving, suppressed the rhythm, and signaled his teammates not to worry.

They were not going to play the first ball fast, and seemed to be going to execute it according to conventional tactics.

Come to the front court.

The Cavaliers players stepped forward one after another, but they did not fight against each other as soon as they came up, but left more room to play.

When James met Durant, he was very cautious about this guy.

Qin Tao himself is strong, and he is so strong that it is helpless. Durant can still limit one or two, so naturally he can't let them both play their best.

As for everyone else, things are pretty much the same now.

It's just that as the Celtics' tactics ran away, the atmosphere on the field became more and more serious.

Because the Celtics used Qin Tao as the starting point of their attack, their tactics became very fast!
Qin Tao is like a scalpel, as if it will cut the opponent's front into pieces at any time.

The Cavaliers are gradually feeling the pressure coming.

Especially inside.

Don't look at Thompson who thinks he is only a little worse than Qin Tao, but when the two of them really fight, it's really a judgment call.

Among the inside players, Thompson's defense is already very good, but when he meets Qin Tao, who is stronger than him, has more experience than him, and has a lot of personal ability, it is really a gift.

Just say now.

As the Celtics' tactics spread out, the inside line was directly emptied, leaving Qin Tao with plenty of space for singles.

Thompson is right behind Qin Tao, looking very cautious, but only he knows how uncomfortable he is now.

Qin Tao, with the ball in his hand, didn't play any tricks with him at all, even if he was behind him.

The powerful force forced Thompson to go all out.

But when he tried his best to resist Qin Tao, he found that Qin Tao's strength seemed strong, but he seemed to have spare strength, and he would unload his strength from time to time, which almost made him vomit blood.

The constant change of one strong and one weak made Thompson uncomfortable and wanted to overthrow Qin Tao to the ground.

However, just as he had this idea, he saw Qin Tao suddenly turn around with his strength, and rushed out with full force.

FUCK! !
Thompson cursed angrily, turned around and chased after him frantically.

pity.

Not everyone can block the moving Qin Tao.

The moment Qin Tao stepped into the paint area, his whole body soared into the sky.

There is no fancy dunk move, he just jumps and slams the basketball into the hoop.
