Legend Raiders

Chapter 37
Section III.

Although the Eagles did not recover a few points, their aggressiveness on the defensive end made the Rockets feel a lot of pressure.

off the field.

The expressions of the coaches on both sides are very serious, especially Larry Drew, who is well-coached. When the team fell behind, he did not yell and curse, but tried to stabilize the players as much as possible.

On the other hand, McHale, in addition to asking the players to pay attention to widening the space and playing as many passes and cuts as possible, it was Bickerstaff's turn to explain the defensive problems.

In view of the performance of Al Horford and Louis Williams, he specifically explained to Asik and Harden, asking them to contain the momentum of the two.

Especially Lu Wei on the outside, this guy doesn't seem to be so active, but after three quarters, he has already scored 9 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

and.

With scoring masters like them, there will definitely be a wave of explosions in the fourth quarter.

If he can't limit his scoring, I'm afraid it will bring a lot of trouble to the Rockets.

and so.

Bickerstaff finally confessed: "In view of the possible outbreak of Louis, I hope that Shuhao and Chandler can help James to the greatest extent!"

Harden frowned slightly, and then laughed at himself: "That's right. Defense is not my strong point."

immediately.

Dick Bavita blew the whistle for the fourth quarter.

Players from both sides returned to the court, and there was basically no change in the lineup.

but.

Qin Tao, who hadn't played yet, could clearly feel Josh Smith's irritability from his face.

"It seems that his performance in the first three quarters has broken his mentality." Qin Tao said thoughtfully: "If he can be completely irritated, I think the Hawks' power forward position will basically be abolished."

"The young man has good eyesight." Carlos Delfino raised his hand.

Qin Tao bared his teeth, turned his head to look at Marcus Morris, and asked, "Marcus, do you have any good suggestions for the choice of shot?"

I go.

This guy never forgets to absorb nutrients.

Marcus Morris curled his lips: "How do you say this kind of thing. You can think of shot selection as an alternative course reading."

"If our paint is in the paint, then even if you don't pick very well, we can try to shoot!"

"Because the basketball may not be scored, but the teammates can still have more than half the chance to keep our possession of the ball."

"of course."

Morris shrugged: "Relatively speaking, we still need to be more cautious and increase our fault tolerance rate. When there are vacancies, we can be more sure."

Been taught a lesson.

Qin Tao made a bow and said with a smile: "Hearing what you said, I feel suddenly enlightened."

Morris grinned, bumped his shoulder, and said, "Let's make progress together."

Since then.

Qin Tao put all his attention on the court.

And Josh Smith really did what he thought. After the game started, Josh made another shot at a position of about four meters because of his impatience.

The basketball was taken for granted, and Asik and Patterson both made efforts at the same time and grabbed the rebound.

In the next 2 minutes, the Eagles' tactics were very clear, which is Horford's point.

But after Asik and Patterson had Bickerstaff's special explanation, their defense against Horford was simply suffocating.

Chances are bad.

Horford immediately handed the ball to the perimeter.

Lu Wei really started his performance. In just three rounds, he scored six points on Harden.

Immediately.

The Rockets' leading advantage was narrowed to only one point by himself.

Subsequently.

When the game came to an official timeout, McHale seemed anxious, and for the first time severely reprimanded Harden.

Back on the field.

Harden seemed to be suffocating, and directly turned on the crazy mode.

Three points at the top of the arc.

Harley breakthrough.

45-degree step back and long shot, the iconic breakthrough hits porcelain.

In just 2 minutes, Harden actually scored eight points.

The Hawks managed to recover the score, and Shengsheng returned to nine points under his explosion.

drop! !

Larry Drew decisively called a timeout. If Harden was allowed to continue to explode, the Hawks would definitely lose with less than 5 minutes left.

Angry.

Larry Drew directly spewed words starting with F and S at Josh Smith, who was surprised by his performance.

re-enter.

The Eagles burst out with an astonishing impact.

Josh Smith is like a mountain axe, he doesn't go to the position of about four meters to play tricks, and crazily hits the Rockets' penalty area.

For an instant.

Without preparation, the Rockets let Smith rush to the ground.

After being extremely depressed in the first three and a half quarters, he actually managed to score eight points from the Rockets with two and a half minutes left in the clock.

This is the real Josh Smith!
And McHale finally called a timeout.

When Harden and the others returned to the field, it was obvious that Asik and Patterson's faces were already filled with shame.

"Qin Tao is at the power forward!" McHale looked at Harden with an ugly face: "Next, James will have unlimited firepower!"

Qin Tao was startled instinctively, but he was relieved when he thought of the difficult times and what superstars represent.

Back on the field.

After seeing Qin Tao, Smith was obviously taken aback.

Relatively speaking.

He prefers guys like Patterson who are not as good as him in footsteps and in body.

But the way the game is, he has to adapt right away.

Lock him up!
Qin Tao's mind kept echoing the explanation of McHale and the two, before Smith took the ball, he took the initiative to seek physical confrontation.

Feeling a lot of pressure, Smith frowned, and immediately followed his own tactical positioning, and started a reverse air cut with Korver from the two bottom corners, trying to use the tactical cover to throw Qin Tao away.

but.

He obviously underestimated Qin Tao's determination, no matter what he wanted to do, Qin Tao was like brown sugar, entangled with him to death.

Exactly.

The stadium is like a battlefield, and opportunities are fleeting.

Because of Qin Tao's lingering death, the Eagles had to change their tactics and handed the ball to the outside.

but.

Harden, who has already suffered from Lu Wei's loss, is rarely attached to him.

a time.

Qin Tao's life-and-death entanglement unexpectedly produced a butterfly effect.

unconsciously.

The Rockets actually forced the Hawks to make a mistake by virtue of their not-so-good defense.

With two seconds left in this round, Korver had to choose to force a shot from beyond the three-point line.

Snapped!
Asik pressed Horford and took off the basketball.

I don't know if it was an instinctive reaction. Seeing the back in the red jersey, he suddenly rushed forward. Without thinking, he yelled and immediately threw the ball.

I am!

Qin Tao turned his head and glanced, and was startled by the cannonball-like basketball.
