Legend Raiders

Chapter 375
Screens, pick and rolls.

Empty cut, reverse run.

The Rockets run non-stop in the half court, and the basketball never stays in the hands of one person for more than three seconds.

Driven by the fast pace of the Rockets, the Spurs certainly wanted to suppress, but they still failed to complete the task after all.

At this time.

Qin Tao put up a high post to catch the ball, Harden and Parsons quickly crossed, and then Beverly stepped forward to cover, and Harden immediately got the chance to shoot.

The ball arrives.

Harden still had time to adjust his aim, and easily scored with both hands.

After seeing this situation, Popovich frowned indiscernibly.

He is very confident in his tactics and trusts the players even more.

However, he has to admit that although the Rockets are inferior in some areas, their advantages are also very conspicuous.

Compared with physical strength and speed, the Spurs do not have an advantage.

From the offense and defense this time, it can be seen that due to their physical strength and speed, the speed of switching defenses and assisting defenses has been severely stretched.

How to break?
Popovich turned his head and glanced at the Rockets' bench, swept around McHale and the others, curled his lips and said secretly: "Although your physical strength is very good, as the game progresses, you also get tired sometimes. .”

"What's more." Popovich squinted his eyes on the ground, looked at his players and said confidently: "No one in this league can lead the Spurs by the nose, no matter who they are!"

The Spurs attack.

Parker forced himself to suppress the speed, and he didn't start exercising until his teammates rushed over.

Relatively speaking, they prefer a slow pace, and with their steady style of play, they are often able to drag down their opponents.

And the Rockets players on the court are very aware of this, and they put pressure on them again, forcing them to move.

a time.

The physical confrontation between the two sides gradually escalated, and the collision between the muscles made the fans in the stands hooked.

After all, if you choose to come to the scene, one is to cheer for your team, and the other is to watch a wonderful game.

And this game was really eye-catching at the beginning, at least so far, no one of them felt that the high cost was not worth it.

So in the next half a quarter of the game, the Rockets and the Spurs showed their housekeeping skills one after another. One side wanted to drag the other side down, and the other side forced the other side to speed up.

By the end of the second quarter, the Rockets were significantly better.

Relying on their own advantages, they not only brought up the rhythm of the Spurs, but also used defensive counterattacks, not only to recover the point difference between the two teams, but also overturned the Spurs' three points.

When the two teams returned to the locker room, the arena was not idle.

After the Rockets have been away from this stage for a long time, both the team itself and the home fans want to release their excitement.

Cheerleader girl, team mascot.

The crowds of fans started to wave, and the brilliant programs started frequently.

The entire arena is like a sea of ​​joy, no matter adults or children, or grandparents in their seventies and eighties, everyone is very happy.

However, the situation of the two teams in the locker room is quite different.

First of all, it was naturally the Rockets. After McHale affirmed the performance of the players and praised their concentration on the field, he immediately left time for them.

After fighting for a whole quarter, even though their physical strength has the upper hand, they are now showing fatigue.

During the break, Qin Tao and the others didn't talk, and each of them took the time to recover their physical strength, which was really exhausting.

Look at the Spurs again.

Because he couldn't play what he wanted in the second quarter, Popovich no longer looked like he was sitting on the Diaoyutai, and resumed his role as a roaring old man.

And Duncan and the others have long been used to the changing roles of the old man, and no one makes a sound at this time, they just listen quietly.

at last.

With the old man acting like a normal person, holding up the water glass with a calm face, Duncan and the others became active.

But what he said didn't make the old man rant for 10 minutes.

"Man, the Rockets are so persistent, and they're like a pack of beasts, they want to bite my ass."

Boris Dior was talking to Parker vividly, completely ignoring the change in the old man's face.

Naturally, Parker couldn't be so heartless. He rubbed his nose and said, "They are a group of hunks, and they are indeed very powerful."

Nima's!
Popovich simply out of sight and out of sight, and these little brats deliberately made things difficult for him.

And after he saw the door of the lounge, there was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

It seems that they didn't have any negative emotions because of their previous performance. On the contrary, driven by Dior and Parker, their atmosphere was very relaxed.

But this time is often the time when the team leader comes out, after all, it is too easy and there are times when the car overturns.

Duncan waited for these guys to finish laughing, put down the drink in his hand, and said with a smile: "The Rockets' tactical intention is very clear, which is to use their physical strength and speed to suppress our rhythm."

As soon as he spoke, others were obviously quiet, and everyone looked at him.

"But this tactic and arrangement has very obvious problems. If they have problems with their physical strength, then what awaits them is a loss!"

Paused.

Duncan helplessly spread his hands: "However, if we can't stop their impact during this time, I think we will lose in the end."

Double edged sword.

Everyone understands what Duncan means, but the stadium is like this. It is not only the technical ability, but also the strength of the core of the team, as well as endurance and toughness, as well as some metaphysical elements of luck.

If one of the two teams cannot withstand the offense and defense, then the final result is self-evident.

Next, Duncan didn't say much, after all, they are all old players, and they all understand the situation.

As the core and soul pillar of the team, sometimes there is no need to point it out, it is better to let these guys think for themselves.

Unknowingly, the rest time passed by, the staff notified both parties, and they left the locker room one after another.

When we returned to the arena, it seemed that the happy and joyful atmosphere was still strong, and the fans were so excited that they almost howled crazily at the top of their lungs.

Don't say it.

Qin Tao and the others, who were still a little tired, felt a burst of relief under the enthusiasm of the fans.

Yes.

Qin Tao swept across the stands, and couldn't help but sighed: "Standing on this field, although it is for myself, but being able to make the fans excited is also a great sense of vanity and satisfaction."

then.

As Crawford blew the whistle, the main lineups of both sides returned to the field again.

But after the start of the third quarter, Popovich and the Spurs players on the court were taken by surprise.

Because the Rockets didn't follow their rhythm, they actually suppressed their rhythm and wanted to get some points from the positional battle.

In this way, while the Spurs were in an accident, everyone couldn't help but whisper in their hearts.

What is going on with the Rockets?

They give up their advantage and don't fight, but they cater to us. There is something in it!
