Legend Raiders

Chapter 166
1 month 8 day.

Sunny weather.

After waking up early in the morning, Qin Tao and Christine Laidlow rushed to the gym not far from the hotel, which has stronger and more professional facilities than the hotel's supporting facilities.

Because it was too early, there were not many people in this gym, but there were still some people who were used to getting up early to exercise, and they cheered for their appearance at that time.

Signed photo.

Qin Tao and Christine Laidlow happily interacted with these people, and then began targeted training.

Relatively speaking.

Christine Laidlow pays more attention to physical exercise. After all, she is no longer a member of the college team, but a bright and glamorous host.

Qin Tao is different. In addition to pulling his fascia apart, he pays more attention to the strength training of the combination of lower limbs and upper limbs.

After some exercise, Qin Tao and the others did not wait for more people to arrive, simply washed up, took their own things and left.

Back to the hotel.

The two of them didn't show off their love for a hearty breakfast, they just settled the meal hastily, and then left the hotel separately.

Because today is the game between the Rockets and the Lakers, the influence of these two teams is the most recent traffic.

The Rockets have Qin Tao and their eye-catching record, while the Lakers have gathered so many superstars, why did they play such a poor game.

As a reporter stationed in Houston, Christine Laidlow has a heavy task today. She has to go to the hotel where the Lakers are staying. Not only does she need to complete an exclusive interview with Kobe, but she also needs to follow them to record something.

Qin Tao is different. As one of the opponents of the Lakers tonight, he needs to return to the training hall immediately to make all preparations for tonight's game.

Come to the arena.

Harden and the others were refreshed, and the two-day vacation seemed to be quite comfortable, sweeping away the exhaustion before.

The whole team practiced together.

The players are in very good condition, and there is no feeling of slack at all.

down one day.

McHale further emphasized the importance of offense, telling them that they must be ready to shoot at any time, and they must not relax on the defensive end.

Honestly.

McHale's requirements are somewhat harsh. After all, if he puts most of his energy on the offensive end, then there will inevitably be impatience and perfunctory psychology on the defensive end.

But this coach who has been criticized a lot is not a fool, let alone an offensive coach.

Without Qin Tao's killer weapon, he would never have dared to propose such an arrangement.

do not forget.

Qin Tao's current attitude and playing style are enough to influence others. With his contribution on the defensive end, McHale's strategy will definitely have amazing gains.

of course.

It all depends on Qin Tao's performance, but he has always been energetic, and he doesn't seem to have any big problems.

At night.

The arrival of the Lakers brought a lot of media to the arena.

Even though their record is very bad, the advantage of being located in Los Angeles and Kobe's own terrifying traffic still make them flock to them.

Toyota Center.

O'Neill did not appear in the commentary booth, but Barkley and Smith, who had not seen each other for a long time, partnered.

With the two of them sitting in charge, it goes without saying that the show is effective.

And because of their personal relationship with Qin Tao, and the fact that this is the home court of the Rockets, there is no need to worry about how they should use it. It must be different.

The game started half an hour later. From the perspective of the spirit of the two teams, the atmosphere of the Lakers seemed a bit depressed.

Think about it too.

With Kobe's strong competitive spirit, the team has reproduced the four superstars (Ma Long, Payton) in the case of so many superstars, and it is not even as good as it was in the past. How can such a bad performance make He is comfortable?
also.

Even if there are some problems between them, it is not as scary as the media makes it out to be.

however.

The power of following others' opinions is subtle. When everyone knows through the media that they have encountered huge troubles, even they themselves have this idea a little bit, until it turned out that they were on the bus to the Toyota Center, and they finally exploded emotionally. There was a fierce quarrel.

of course.

This kind of thing has nothing to do with Qin Tao and the Rockets. Their team is doing very well.

The appearance ceremony is omitted.

The referee of this game is eye-catching. Ken Moore, who has not enforced the Rockets game earlier this season, actually appeared with his iconic big back.

Make sense.

This uncle, who is not inferior to the bald referee Crawford, is definitely a representative of sharp law enforcement. He is not afraid of provocations from the team's superstars.

But the most impressive thing is that Yinken Moore rarely smiles in law enforcement, and always has a sullen face. With his sharp appearance, the first impression is that he is the godfather of the Italian mafia. style.

The book is back to normal.

As the game whistle sounded from Ken Moore's mouth, the main players of the Rockets and Lakers walked towards the center line.

Howard's bounce is beyond doubt, and he easily got the ball for the Lakers.

Steve Nash pushed forward with the ball, and passed the ball without waiting for Kobe to ask for it.

pull away.

The space of the Lakers was quickly stretched, and the Rockets did not choose to double-team the first time out of fear of others.

But Qin Tao, who was sitting off the court, felt a subtle aura from the Lakers players.

They give people the feeling that there is no communication at all, except that Gasol will interact with Kobe, including Nash, who has always been calm, standing still as if he didn't move much.

"It seems that the problem is not small." Qin Tao secretly sighed with emotion.

He is very clear that if this state continues, the Lakers may gradually become silent.

Kobe, holding the ball on the court, has already launched a charge to the Rockets' front.

Honestly.

Harden is not a defender, and Kobe is also very easy to burst.

But the other people's help defense was very strong. Kobe was about two meters away from the free throw line, and Parsons just went to meet him.

however.

When Harden switched positions to defend Mercy, Kobe didn't hesitate at all, and directly put huge defensive pressure on Parsons, cutting inside like a scalpel, and ended the round with a split dunk.

Excited?
This disarming power greatly boosted morale, but neither Qin Tao nor the fans present could feel the improvement of the Lakers' momentum at all.

Easy to fight again.

The Rockets' offense is like a tide, and they don't play positions with the Lakers at all. No one stops in one place for more than two seconds.

Harden's response came.

When facing the embarrassingly defensive Gasol in a defensive switch, Harden didn't use his speed to hit him. Instead, he simply and neatly used his own step-back three-pointer to give the Rockets their first score.

Subsequently.

In the entire first quarter of the game, apart from Kobe's charge, the Lakers were able to help him the most, not Nash or Howard, but Gasol who was as close to him as a brother.

finally.

Due to the Lakers' own problems, the Rockets' offense was also more aggressive. The Rockets took the lead in winning the first quarter with a score of 26:22.
