Legend Raiders

Chapter 307
Regarding the reporter's last question, Qin Tao chose very carefully, and didn't answer anything right away, just smiled and remained silent.

After all, judging from the current league situation and team rankings, it is easier to be slapped in the face if you speak too early, and even cause some unnecessary troubles.

But since I was interviewed, I have to say something.

"Although we have made great progress this season, we are only one game behind the Thunder and temporarily ranked second in the Western Conference, but I can't tell what the final result is, after all, every Western Conference team is very strong! "

The cautious answer made the reporter somewhat regretful.

But interviews are like this. If you keep pestering, then the next Rockets PR will not give you a chance, because you completely broke the set rules.

resignedly.

She sent her best wishes to Qin Tao and the Rockets, and the two went their separate ways with a gentle hug.

By the time Qin Tao returned to the dressing room, joyous singing had already sounded in the bathroom.

But compared to his teammate's cheerfulness, Qin Tao couldn't help thinking to himself when he got into the bathroom.

The Rockets this season, in addition to its joining, and some accidental and inevitable things played a role, the biggest factor is the players' centripetal force and desire to fight.

But the team's performance looks very good, but there are also hidden dangers in it.

At least Qin Tao doesn't think that when they enter the playoffs, they will go smoothly.

Otherwise, they wouldn't still be one game behind the Thunder, temporarily suppressing the veteran Spurs by a game and a half.

and so.

Qin Tao briefly recalled the situation of this year's playoffs, as well as the performance of the players and stars of each team, and decided that his own style of play must be erratic, and the combination of internal and external may bring the greatest help to the team.

With his own decision, Qin Tao accelerated the speed of washing.

As everyone walked out of the bathroom and changed their clothes, Qin Tao vaccinated this guy in advance.

"About this season's playoffs, do you have anything to say?"

Qin Tao's sudden opening not only stunned Harden and the others, but also surprised McHale and the others.

We must know that when Qin Tao joined the team, he gradually played amazing games and won amazing honors. He has long been regarded as the boss of the team, but he has never exercised the responsibility of a boss.

Now he suddenly made such a sentence, and the tone was not the usual chatter, which made it a little difficult for them to adapt, especially Harden, who was trained as the boss after the trade.

But some things are like this, even if they feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts, in the United States, a country that advocates individual heroism, they are still convinced from the bottom of their hearts.

After a moment of silence, Harden, who is the second core of the team, spoke up.

"After the game in March, April will gradually enter the meat grinder, and the intensity of confrontation will rise linearly, especially for those teams that are only one step away from entering the playoffs!"

Harden especially emphasized: "They will go crazy!"

Others nodded one after another, this is a well-known thing.

Qin Tao didn't need to say anything else, and Harden didn't need to mention it. Even McHale wisely chose to remain silent, leaving this kind of thing to other players.

Unlike star players like Qin Tao, other players, even though they are indispensable, lack preparation and fighting spirit, which is definitely a disaster for them.

For example, Davis of the Pelicans, the former David Lee, and even Anthony, Kobe Bryant for a period of time, no matter how bad the data is, the final result is embarrassing.

so.

The abilities of the star players are brutal, but without the help of others, every game will be just a lonely hero without a perfect ending.

finally.

When the little black dog Beverly started bluffing first, the group of people immediately became highly motivated, and each of them almost swore a poisonous oath.

look at them.

Qin Tao was very pleased.

Sometimes this is the case. After you have a strong appeal, you will make others better by speaking up.

After leaving the home court of the Suns, they took the bus back to the hotel, had a good night's sleep, and returned to Houston the next morning.

Next.

The Rockets will face the Timberwolves on the 15th, a three-game battle with the Warriors on the 17th, a battle with the Jazz on the 20th, a showdown with the Cavaliers on the 22nd, and a direct battle with the Spurs, which is third in the West and still has GDP, on the 24th , The Pacers struck on the 27th, the Grizzlies challenged on the 29th, and the Clippers on the 30th.

It can be seen from the following schedule that the game in the second half of the month is not easy, and there are several difficult bones in it.

The old and strong GDP, the terror bonus of the Jazz at home, the tough style of the Grizzlies, and even the Warriors and Pacers are not easy to deal with.

And the next game also confirmed this point.

Against the Timberwolves on the 15th, the Rockets won the victory with a score of 108:100.

On the 17th, when facing the Warriors who were eager for revenge, they were like a mudslide, and they were killed by the team that killed them twice, with an advantage of 25 points.

The match against the Jazz on the 20th was full of twists and turns. The Rockets simply realized their shame and then acted bravely. They gradually recovered their status and took away the victory by three points.

The matchup against the Cavaliers on the 22nd finally gave the Rockets a breather. They poured out all the breath they had been holding back before, and used a 22-point advantage to bloodbath the Cavaliers without James.

The game against the Spurs on the 24th was called sparks hit the earth by all those who followed the NBA.

One is the amazing super dark horse this season, the Rockets ranked second in the Western Conference, and the other is the Spurs whose GDP is still strong and is still regarded as the championship seed.

At the beginning of this game, the Spurs showed their fine traditions. No matter how the Rockets tried, their rhythm was still orderly, and they didn't seem to be affected at all.

but.

Because the Rockets are stronger in age and physical fitness, once the young people explode, the final result can be imagined.

Although the score of the two teams was finally fixed at the seemingly dangerous score of 98:95, the Rockets can really say that the Spurs, who were suppressing the whole game, were exclaimed that the Rockets are amazing now.

But maybe the game with the Spurs was too intense. Facing Paul George's Pacers on the 27th, their fatigue was revealed, and they finally lost the game by 6 points.

In the last two games in March, the Rockets defended their home court and beat the Grizzlies 100:96 and the Clippers 104:88.

In the second half of March, Qin Tao still performed very steadily, averaging 23 points, 12.4 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 4.8 assists per game, making him the best player of the month.
