Legend Raiders

Chapter 360
5 month 11 day.

The Rockets arrived in Denver yesterday to prepare for today's game and adapt to the venue.

But they have to play a little later today, because the Eastern Pacers and Knicks have finished their games before they can play.

This is the league's regulations, as well as the arrangement of the schedule. If you want to compete, you have to come one by one. After all, the NBA is a commercial league, and the ratings must be the first.

During the waiting time, all members of the Rockets were not idle.

In order not to stiffen their bodies, after eating some nutritious dinners, they all hit the gym and kept their bodies warm by cycling at a slow speed.

at the same time.

In addition to maintaining their physical condition, the gym is also very suitable for the occasion, live broadcasting the game between the Pacers and the Knicks.

Sitting on one of the bicycles, Qin Tao adjusted his posture for a while, and then looked at the big TV.

Tonight's game is very important for both teams.

Especially the Knicks, their home court was beaten 1:1, which they couldn't bear.

And this game came to Indiana, and their remarks before the game seemed very straightforward, that is, to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals at their own home court.

As for how the Pacers responded to their remarks, it is really Buddhist. No one responded at all. If you want to ask, you are taking the game seriously.

have to say.

Larry Bird trained this team very well, and he didn't have the arrogance of this guy when he played.

After a while, the game will start.

In this game, the main force of both sides is basically the strongest team.

And at this juncture, the Knicks also sent good news, saying that Amare Stoudemire, who had rested for too long due to injury, may return to the court in this game.

And as the game between the two teams has entered the appearance ceremony, Amare Stoudemire, who was with the substitute lineup, made countless fans who like the Knicks cheer.

of course.

This is the home court of the Pacers. No matter how crazy the Knicks fans are, they have to restrain themselves.

Next, let's look at the main lineups of both sides.

Look at the Knicks first.

Needless to say, their main center is Tyson Chandler who won the championship with the Mavericks and then left.

As for the power forward, although Stoudemire may play, but because of injuries, he was not assigned as the main force, but Carmelo Anthony was placed on top of this position.

Relatively speaking.

Although Anthony prefers the forward position, his strong body and comprehensive offensive ability are nothing more than poor rebounding.

Small forward is Iman Shumpert, shooting guard is Raymond Felton, and point guard is veteran rookie Pablo Prigioni, who will play a season with the Rockets.

Look at the Pacers again.

Their center is still "Plateau", and now belongs to the top center Roy Hibbert.

The power forward is David West, who can still achieve a double-double in his competitive state and will follow the Warriors to realize his championship dream in the future.

The small forward position is naturally going crazy this season, and Paul George, who won the Most Improved Player Award before.

The shooting guard doesn't have to be the "junior brother" Lance Stephenson, the point guard is George Hill.

Judging from the lineups of the two teams, perhaps because of the first glance, I have to say that the Pacers are really stronger here.

Among other things, just judging from their forward and defensive lines, this lineup does not know how many heads overwhelmed the Knicks.

of course.

This thing is also uncertain, after all, it is not uncommon for the grassroots to kill the luxurious teacher.

What's more, the Knicks are not grassroots.

The game started quickly, and the two teams immediately started to test.

Needless to say on the Knicks side, the ball must be in Anthony's hands, but there are some problems with his offense, and he seems to have underestimated David West a bit, and he was a little embarrassed to be forced by the opponent.

The Pacers gave Paul George, but under Shumpert's defense, he gave people a sense of strength.

a time.

As the first quarter of the game gradually deepened, the Knicks fell into a rigidity after Anthony had difficulty playing.

After one quarter of the game, although the score was a bit low, and the Pacers' role players were also a bit weak, they finally won the quarter with an embarrassing score of 20:17.

The second quarter began soon, and the two teams significantly strengthened their offense, and then entered an offensive and defensive battle.

But the Pacers are more defensive after all, and the Knicks also have the embarrassment that Anthony can't play. The confrontation looked very lively, but the score was also embarrassing, 18 draws!
Such a stiff match made Qin Tao and the others in the gym complain.

Honestly.

Although they also have bad defense and performance, but such a stiff game like these two, they have seen it on the Spurs, which has always been "stiff", and it is really rare in others.

of course.

This kind of thing can't be said to be bad, after all, defense wins (crying).

However, after the halftime break of the two teams, and the third quarter of the game, the originally rigid game finally changed.

In addition to Paul George, the Pacers, Roy Hibbert and Lance Stephenson finally woke up.

One of them scored eight points and three rebounds, and the other scored six points on three-of-three shots.

So when the third quarter ended, the Pacers finally broke through 26 points, scored [-] points in one quarter, and the Knicks also reached [-] points.

In the last quarter of the game, the Rockets stopped warming up because they were due immediately, watched the big TV for the last time, and returned to the locker room one by one.

For the upcoming game, McHale's attitude is very clear, that is, they need to focus and not have any slack.

Although Qin Tao and the others did not speak, everyone looked serious.

of course.

There will be such a serious look, which has something to do with the previous games.

Not to mention the final results of the Pacers and Knicks, just from the defense of the two teams, that level is not something they can slack off.

at last.

When they learned that the Knicks lost the game 71-82 with a score of 1:2, they became more serious about this game.

Without him.

Because after losing two consecutive games to the Rockets, if the Nuggets don't go crazy, I'm afraid there will be no chance.

After all, in the history of the NBA, there are very few people who can come back after falling behind by three games!

so.

If the Nuggets play against them like this, without any mental and state preparation, a rollover must be inevitable.

Subsequently.

When Qin Tao and the others left the player tunnel and appeared in the arena, they subconsciously glanced at the Nuggets, and then their expressions became a little dignified.

Because the Nuggets are exactly as they imagined, everyone's expressions are very murderous, and they look very hungry.
