Legend Raiders

Chapter 25
Anxious.

When the Pistons and Rockets reappeared, they suddenly turned into a group of hungry wolves, bringing unimaginable oppression to the Rockets.

Especially for the perimeter, no matter who is holding the ball for the Pistons, the two of them will pounce at the first time, entangled with each other.

Under their fierce defense, the Rockets were like younger brothers. They were a little flustered at once. In the end, because of Jeremy Lin's anxious breakthrough, this round died immediately.

Get back on defense quickly.

Qin Tao scanned the faces of the main players of the Pistons one by one, paying special attention to their eyes, and couldn't help but secretly said: "It seems that these guys are going to bite!"

really!

As the Pistons players advance to the frontcourt, they no longer have the previous sense of hierarchy. The outside line is initiated by Prince, and the rest of the players keep creating opportunities for him, as if a star is in control of the game.

Swish!
The basketball went through the net and Prince made it easy.

The score of the two sides entered to 96:88.

Easy to fight again.

The Rockets' progress was obviously much slower. With more than a minute and a half left in the clock, their intention was obvious, which was to use procrastination tactics to face the irritability of the Pistons.

but.

They obviously underestimated the determination of the Pistons. As soon as the basketball was pushed forward by Jeremy Lin, the mad dog-like defense attacked again.

a time.

The same operation as the previous wave happened to the Rockets again.

But this time, the Pistons did not run wild like last time, and directly hit the Rockets by surprise in a powerful way!
96: 90.

drop~~
McHale had to call a timeout. If at this time, he let the players handle it, and when Harden and the others were clearly out of control, waiting for their final result, he would be taken away by the crazy Pistons.

Back off the field.

McHale said loudly to everyone that they must withstand the impact and defense of the Pistons, and try to stretch the space as much as possible so that they can make corresponding countermeasures.

but.

When they returned to the court, the Pistons, who were still irritable, continued to put extremely strong pressure on the Rockets.

And these few rounds were basically against Monroe. Qin Tao, who had no chance to touch the ball at all, was obviously very anxious about the current situation: "No! If the Pistons are allowed to jump around, waiting for the Rockets is an old problem. It completely collapsed at the end of the fourth quarter, and they got their first win of the season!"

Moved!

Qin Tao resolutely gave up the fight for the inside line, and suddenly joined the offensive and defensive battle on the outside line.

With his generous participation, the Rockets actually got a lot of breathing time, and finally some gaps appeared.

finally.

When the Rockets completely disrupted the Pistons' tactics with Qin Tao's fierce blind tie, Harden saw an opportunity and directly stuffed the ball to Parsons in the high post on the left, who simply scored two points in the mid-range shot.

Stop the bleeding!

Under the fierce counterattack of the Pistons, this goal of the Rockets is indeed a precious batch.

If they make a forced error again, they may really collapse.

High fives.

All the perimeter players of the Rockets expressed their gratitude to Qin Tao.

If it weren't for his random entry, I'm afraid I wouldn't get the chance to be vacant.

But Qin Tao was neither arrogant nor impetuous. In the last minute and a half of the decisive battle, he put all his energy on the court.

The Pistons advanced with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, they still wanted to repeat the old tricks. All members ran wildly, constantly creating opportunities for Prince.

But this time.

The Rockets' defense has completely deviated from any tactics. When Monroe put Prince on a pick-and-roll, Qin Tao no longer chooses to stick to Monroe, but blocks in front of Prince decisively and abnormally.

sweat.

It kept pouring down like rain, and Prince glanced at Qin Tao in front of him, and without thinking about it, he gave the basketball to Monroe who cut back to the inside.

Parsons faced Monroe in a misplaced position, and his small arms and legs were instantly challenged.

a bit!
Twice!

Three times!

With no time to help defend, Monroe, who is thick and thick, is like a bulldozer. In just three seconds, he pushed Parsons into the horns.

roll over.

Take off!

Monroe held the ball with one hand, ignored Parsons, and was about to perform a dunk on the spot.

however.

Accompanied by Prince's exclamation, the cameraman in the stands immediately took the camera to Qin Tao.

I see.

After Prince made a high-profile call to Monroe, he waited for the moment when the latter advanced the horn position, like a mad cow, decisively gave up Prince's defense, and rushed back to the inside fiercely.

When Monroe finished the jump, his face already showed an expression of excitement. Seeing that the big hand was about to trample the basket in front of him, he suddenly felt an astonishing impact.

Bang! ! !
After a loud noise, the basketball in his hand was hammered on the backboard like a cannonball.

Qin Tao was like a god descending from the earth, pushing Monroe out of the bottom line.

drop! !

Crawford, standing on the left, immediately blew the whistle in his mouth.

When all the Rockets players looked in surprise, he immediately made a thug gesture.

Harden is in a hurry!

He quickly ran over, pointed to the big screen that had already started replaying in mid-air, and asked in disbelief: "God, are you sure this ball is a foul?"

Crawford remained the same, with a straight face, and gestured for a zipper on the side of his mouth.

Nima's!
Harden was a little angry for a moment, and he followed Crawford, ready to argue with the old bald man.

however.

Qin Tao, who was called for a foul, immediately stepped forward and grabbed Harden directly: "Dude, our goal has been achieved!"

Water? ?
Harden stared blankly, really a little confused about the situation.

Qin Tao pointed to the stands, and said meaningfully: "Didn't you hear that there was no sound in the stands?"

Harden glanced subconsciously, and immediately found that a large number of fans were looking up at the sky.

on the big screen.

After replaying the camera, Qin Tao's defense this time was simply not too clean.

The whole movement is not too big, this is a risk of hitting the bull's-eye.

But even if the judgment is wrong, Crawford will not change his judgment.

but.

With this mistake, according to the unspoken rules between the referee and the players, the whistleblowing in the next round will definitely give the Rockets a scale.

not to mention.

What Qin Tao cares about is not the penalty, but to use his own way to tell all the Pistons players, as long as I am on the court, none of you should prick me!
really.

When Monroe missed two free throws with a gloomy expression, and they faced the Rockets' offense and double-teamed wildly on the outside again, Crawford didn't blow the whistle immediately, but nearly ten seconds passed before The whistle was blown on the Pistons.

Harden made two free throws and directly expanded the score to eight points again.

After 1 minute, the Rockets, with the help of Qin Tao, held the eight points tightly in their hands, and gradually came to 45 seconds.

crazy!

However, when Lawrence Frank called a timeout, the moment the main force of the Pistons returned to the court, they launched a "death charge" against the Rockets!
Their actions became extremely rough, and their fierce fouls should be sentenced to death by the court immediately.

but.

After all members of the Pistons paid up to eight fouls and paid the price of Mark Hill's penalty, the Rockets were only four points ahead of the Pistons in the last 20 seconds!

What to do next?
