Legend Raiders

Chapter 305

After killing the Warriors, some interesting things happened during the period. The Rockets flew non-stop and flew to Phoenix, because they had a back-to-back game right after them.

Landing.

The entire team of the Rockets was somewhat exhausted, instead of chatting and spanking, they stayed in the hotel honestly to recover the consumed energy.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Tao woke up early from his deep sleep and turned his head to look at the bed beside him. Jeremy Lin had a haggard face, and the way he babbled from time to time was so funny.

But Qin Tao didn't play any pranks, after all, he was quite tired.

Soon.

Maybe it was because the drowsiness passed, Qin Tao felt bored and went to wash up.

After tidying himself up, Jeremy Lin got up from the bed according to his biological clock.

Rub your eyes.

Jeremy Lin noticed Qin Tao looking at him with a half-smile, grinned at him, and said, "Brother, are you always so punctual?"

Qin Tao shrugged noncommittally, and after he finished washing, the two went to the cafeteria to deal with each other.

At around nine o'clock, they gathered with others and took the bus to the home court of the Suns.

Qin Tao is no stranger to this stadium, and even a few years later, he still has a deep impression of this stadium.

Because this team does not seem to have any dazzling history, but the stars and resumes are not bad.

For example, Charles Barkley, known as the "Flying Pig", was not an ordinary deterrent in his time.

Then there are "Son of the Wind" Steve Nash, "Small Overlord" Amare Stoudemire, and earlier Kevin Johnson, this is a team with historical stars at every stage .

But now the sun, with the "running and bombing combination" falling apart, its former glory is no longer, and it basically has no sense of existence.

But still the old saying, even the weakest team in the NBA is not something that others can underestimate.

At night.

Qin Tao and the others dealt with each other in the restaurant of the Suns' arena nearby, and immediately gathered in the locker room of the visiting team.

They didn't pay much attention to tonight's game, they just treated it as an ordinary game.

In contrast to the Suns.

Their attitude is even more bachelor.

Because there is no pressure on the record now, and the team is also in the transition and reconstruction period, they have no burden at all, but they also want to play their own style. After all, players have to eat, so they have to use their own strength to speak.

The game started at 8 o'clock in the evening, and the two teams lined up, preparing for a collision that might be good.

Starting aspect.

McHale has no idea of ​​moving the current lineup at all.

The lineup of the Suns will definitely be impressive.

Luis Scola, a veteran of Yao Ming's period, chose to continue his career with the Suns after being laid off by Morey.

Gelan Dragic, a former Rockets veteran, also played well and took the position of the Suns' starting point guard early.

Wesley Johnson at the small forward position may be one of the worst fourth picks, but he played OK with the Clippers a few years later.

Coupled with Markieff Morris, and Marcus Morris who was sent here by Morey, this lineup can be called the second Rockets team.

of course.

After talking about these veteran Rockets players, I must talk about other familiar faces.

such as.

After retiring due to Yao Ming's injury, Hamad Haddadi, who was gradually known as the No. [-] center in Asia.

A few years later, the small and fierce man who made great contributions to the Rockets, PJ Tucker.

Marcin Gortat, the "Polish Hammer" who is still the starting center of the Suns.

Kobe Bryant's younger brother Shannon Brown.

Former Pacers King Jermaine O'Neal.

The entire Suns team has gathered famous and unnamed players, which is really dazzling, and it looks very impressive on the books.

but.

Because of the injury problems in the team, many people couldn't play.

This game.

The lineup sent by the Suns seems a bit awkward in terms of inside.

Center position.

Luis Scola became the man in charge here.

The power forward was Marcus Morris, the small forward was his brother Markieff Morris, the shooting guard became Wesley Johnson, and the point guard was of course Goran Dragic.

But to say that the Suns are weak inside, the Rockets are actually just a little bit stronger.

It can be said that Asik has no independent offensive ability at all. Because Motel is still a rookie, his confrontation strength is also somewhat insufficient. In fact, he is not too far behind Marcus Morris.

so.

This kind of lineup can only know who is strong and who is weak after playing, but the height of the Suns is also a highlight.

After the game started, Qin Tao, who was sitting off the court, began to observe the Suns team curiously.

Honestly.

Their style of play may have something to do with Lindsay Hunter's coaching style. They played very steadily, even quite well.

but.

Perhaps because of his rich experience as a player in major competitions and his tough defense, the Suns worked hard on the offensive end, put in more energy on the defensive end, and played more or less proactively.

After watching a quarter of the game, Qin Tao knew a little about the Suns.

This team still feels unstable now, perhaps because Lindsay Hunter is just transitioning, and some tactics are somewhat rigid in their execution.

But these are not important anymore, because Qin Tao is about to go into battle.

"Hey, little guy, it seems that Lindsay takes you very seriously, you need to break that guy's blockade!"

When Qin Tao was about to enter the court, McHale specifically told him.

"Don't worry." Qin Tao's answer was quite relaxed, as if he didn't see the gift Lindsay Hunter gave him, Hamad Haddadi.

Play.

Qin Tao is still in his familiar position, but the Suns have changed, defending him has become the number one center in Asia.

Partnering with Qin Tao are Terrence Jones, the little prince of abuse, Francisco Garcia, Carlos Delfino, and Beverly, who has gradually gained McHale's trust.

There is no doubt that their lineup is based on Qin Tao, and they are basically foils.

And Lindsay Hunter also seemed to have done some research, and directly lined up their big man, with a fairly tough style, and Haddadi, who had strength and height, defended him.

but.

Some things really don't take for granted.

As the game started, Lindsay Hunter's expression was never relaxed.

Haddadi has height, weight and strength, but at the same time, his movement speed is definitely not above the standard, and he can't really get entangled with Qin Tao. On the contrary, it is because of his own speed that he brought destruction to the team Sexual defensive loopholes.

And in such an unequal matchup, Qin Tao naturally didn't hesitate, and directly used a wave of attacks that could be called smooth and smooth, which cost them a lot, scoring 5 points alone in 8 minutes.
