Legend Raiders

Chapter 361
Will they cause trouble?

Qin Tao frowned slightly, watching the Nuggets.

The moment they came out of the player tunnel just now, Qin Tao felt their desire for victory.

of course.

Perhaps it was because of the Nuggets' home atmosphere, or because of altitude sickness, which made him somewhat depressed.

But the game is like this, the more the environment and state are like this, the more focused you must be.

At this time.

McHale started the final arrangements before the game.

For this game, his request is still simple and straightforward, that is, to keep the players focused and not to relax.

Harden and the others nodded, expressing that they would definitely go all out.

Soon.

The grand appearance ceremony came to an end, and the referee walked to the technical stage, indicating that the game was about to start.

Another moment.

As the referee signaled to the players' seats of both sides, the main players of the two teams walked towards the court one after another.

Old rules.

The Rockets' main force remains unchanged, maintaining the lineup since the middle of the season.

The Nuggets are about the same here, but their momentum is obviously more vigorous.

jump ball!

After all, Asik is still the floor, and Costa Koufos easily won the ball.

But in this game, the Nuggets didn't seem to be prepared to play well with them, and the basketball appeared directly in Iguodala's hands.

This kind of routine has gradually become popular in today's NBA, giving the once-popular point forward a chance to recover again.

With Iguodala on the ball, the rest of the Nuggets are running aggressively.

Especially Ty Lawson and Andre Miller, after not having the ball in their hands, they need to use offense to open the situation for the team when they have the opportunity.

The Rockets' response is basically positive, constantly trying to compress the passing space of the Nuggets and drive them to the inside.

Time passed by second by second. After Iguodala tested Parsons' defensive strength, he seemed to be out of the dignity of a boss. He did not choose to hand it over to others, but found the right opportunity to start a breakthrough .

Iguodala's breakthrough is relatively less routine, more inclined to go straight, but the speed and explosive power are quite amazing.

However, Parsons, relying on his youth, has a very positive attitude on the defensive end and never leaves his side, making Iguodala's breakthrough very awkward.

But being able to become the star of a team is naturally not something that Parsons can handle now.

With a change in Iguodala's rhythm, Parsons was thrown away by him.

Stop jump shot!

Facing the heights of Asik and Motel, Iguodala did not choose to be reckless, but chose a safe way to score points for the team.

Such a rational choice made Qin Tao frown slightly off the court.

If the Nuggets play more rationally and rationally with extremely high tactical execution, then for the Rockets, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble.

of course.

This is only the first round. After the Rockets finish the ball, we will see what happens next.

Jeremy Lin brought the ball to the frontcourt, and the Rockets' tactics basically revolved around Harden.

But Harden encountered a lot of trouble this time. Iguodala put most of his energy on defense. He was more aggressive than a few years later, so Harden couldn't find the space to catch the ball.

Helpless!

After the time entered ten seconds, for the sake of fault tolerance, they had to choose to shoot.

outside line.

Under the cover of Parsons, Jeremy Lin pulled to the right and made a long-range mid-range shot.

Simply because he had a good touch, the basketball went through the net to tie the score.

In the next game, the two teams played back and forth, and they all played very rationally and steadily, and there were no major problems.

But they are coming and going, and the fans in the stands are not happy.

Because the game between them was somewhat boring, there were already some boos in the arena.

But the game is like this, if every game is wonderful, then the players will not be exhausted.

After the end of the first quarter, although the scene was not very good, the score of the two teams was not bad, 22:25.
Back off the field.

For the first time, the atmosphere on the Rockets side was a little dignified. After all, the situation in the first quarter was not a good sign.

The Nuggets are relatively relaxed. After preparing a lot of things, it seems that the results are not bad.

But just like their worries in the first two games, the second quarter is definitely a huge test for them.

How to arrange?

Is it still the same as last game, regular rotation?
Not only the Nuggets players looked at George Karl, but even the fans not far away looked at him.

"If George chooses the regular rotation, then I don't think anyone can stop Qin Tao!"

"But if you continue to use the main force, it will bring amazing pressure to the Nuggets in the second half of the game, so."

A wave of similar remarks kept getting into the ears of the Nuggets soldiers, which virtually brought them a lot of pressure.

What's more, as long as they lose this third game, I'm afraid their chances will not be great.

How to do?
George Karl looked at the players' bench, his eyes swept over the players one by one, and finally landed on JaVale McGee.

That's right.

Since he was never replaced in the first quarter, although he is not as strong as Qin Tao in stature and strength, he has long arms and legs and abundant physical strength, which may bring them a miraculous effect.

of course.

George Karl was also very cautious, giving McGee not much time to defend Qin Tao, only 3 minutes.

If he can't stop Qin Tao, then let others try, anyway, Qin Tao can't be too comfortable.

Play.

As soon as the Rockets played here, they attracted quite a few exclamations.

Because their lineup is simply amazing.

At the center position, Greg Smith comes to play, and the power forward and small forward are surprising places.

At the position of power forward, Motaiyunas still stayed on the court, and Qin Tao, who should have been in this position, surprisingly went to play small forward.

Coupled with Harden who has not finished, and Beverly who has already played something with defense, the Rockets' lineup is simply blinding.

However, after the fans who know the ball exclaimed, their doubts and surprises were less.

Because in Qin Tao's games this season, his small forward-like operation has already given them an amazing feeling.

But such a lineup was seen by George Karl, but he felt like he was holding a mouthful of old blood in his chest.

The player they value the most now doesn't play inside at all, but runs outside to play. What do you make of his previous arrangement?
Could it be that McGee is also going to play small forward?
No drama at all, okay?

But if you want to change people, it is obviously against the rules.

Nothing.

Even if George Karl is suffering to death, he can only shout loudly to change the lineup.

As a result, the position of the Nuggets has changed.

McGee was still playing center forward, and Wilson Chandler, who was at power forward, was changed back to his small forward position and used him to defend Qin Tao.

And Corey Brewer, who was originally at the small forward position, had to face Motiejunas. With his fluttering little body, I am afraid that this position will stop.

It could be that the double-guard tactics were not used for long in the first quarter, otherwise, no matter how good Andre Miller's defense is, he might not be able to hold Harden's big butt.

Finally, the point guard position, because Ty Lawson played too long, it can only let the water fountain player Julian Stone top for two or three minutes.
