Legend Raiders

Chapter 387
run run run!
Driven by Jeremy Lin and Parsons, the Rockets are like tireless hungry wolves, wanting to bite off the fat from the Spurs non-stop.

But the Spurs are definitely a very difficult bone, especially with their top defense in the league. Once they slow down the rhythm, the Rockets will become stiff.

So in the next 5 minutes, the Rockets desperately wanted to bring a fast pace, while the Spurs kept suppressing, forcing the Rockets into their rhythm.

In this way, it depends entirely on the execution ability of the players of the two teams. If there is a problem of slack on either side, it will always be suppressed by the other side for a period of time in the end.

When the two teams played for about 5 minutes, as McHale called a timeout first, the substitutes of both sides returned to the field.

In the game just now, the Spurs still relied on their defense and control of the rhythm to widen the point difference to eight points again.

And because of the strength of these guys on the defensive end, it is more difficult for the Rockets to respond.

Simply, there is still a lot of time in the last quarter. As long as the Rockets play their stuff, the final result is uncertain.

come back again.

Qin Tao and Harden are the core points of the Rockets, and everyone knows what tactics they want to play.

The Spurs also spared no effort. The GDP of the rotation returned to the court, and Leonard gave people the feeling that he was still powerful.

Game start.

As the team's organizer, Beverly moved steadily forward with the ball.

The Rockets' current tempo and the Spurs like it very much. In order to suppress it further, Qin Tao and the others were targeted by the Spurs when they first arrived.

The inside line is led by Duncan and Splitter. They put their focus on Qin Tao and let Asik go to a limited extent.

On the outside are Leonard and Ginobili. Needless to say, the former's defense is very strong, and the latter's defensive career has been ignored.

As the two sides entered hand-to-hand combat, the Rockets gradually encountered trouble here.

First is Harden.

Under Leonard's personal care, he couldn't play his due role at all. On the contrary, because of his experience and positioning during the Thunder period, he showed some signs of stickiness and recklessness.

Think about it too.

Harden used to be only the Thunder's third choice. Although he was stronger than the main force, he didn't encounter too many similar situations after all.

So when the time entered the last five seconds, after he heard the reminder from his teammates, he could only make a hasty shot in the end, and the basketball would naturally not roll into the basket.

And at the same time Harden shot, the inside line instantly became a mess.

With a serious expression on his face, Qin Tao started a hand-to-hand fight with Duncan.

Asik and Boris Dior did not rest, and the two fought fiercely with their elbows.

Let's look at Qin Tao now.

With his strong playing style, it is bound not to let Duncan get the position easily.

at last.

After some entanglement, Qin Tao still used his talent and body to get the position, and the moment the basketball was knocked flying, he soared into the sky with a keen sense of smell.

Bang!
Grasping the rebound firmly with both hands, the moment Qin Tao landed, he jumped up again with his own speed.

Boom! !
The powerful dunk ignited the arena, and countless fans cheered for Qin Tao's goal.

But after landing, he didn't feel relaxed or even happy, and ran to the backcourt with his head buried.

Seeing his reaction in the eyes of his teammates, everyone felt a little heavy.

As a professional player, he naturally knows what Qin Tao is thinking now.

It can be seen from this goal that the Rockets have fallen into a disadvantage.

If they are entangled by the Spurs and they can't find a way to rush out, then the final result must be a loss.

What's more, what if the Spurs choose to let Qin Tao go?
As long as they defend most of the others according to the previous defensive strategy, then the final result of this game will also be determined.

subconsciously.

Beverly and the others looked at Harden one after another, but after seeing his expression, their hearts sank.

After passing the ball just now, Harden's face was completely expressionless, giving the impression that he didn't care at all, as usual.

This kind of expression is familiar to each of them, and everyone has even had such a side.

But they knew better that it was a sign of a serious decline in morale.

Is this game going to be lost?
While Beverly and the others returned to defense, such questions appeared in their minds.

And when the Spurs launched an offense, they didn't know how serious things were.

As an inside defender, Qin Tao was directly brought out of the inside by Duncan, and kept cruising in high positions, not giving him a chance to play.

these years.

Duncan perfectly interprets the term getting older and more demonic.

If his swipe shot is a must, then increasing his shooting range to a position close to the three-point line is a very big test for defensive players.

So Qin Tao didn't dare to let him go, so he could only follow him.

What's more, at this time, he doesn't dare to block Duncan's shooting percentage.

And without Qin Tao on the inside, relying on just one Asik is completely unable to guard the penalty area.

Don't forget that the Spurs are currently in this lineup, but there are breakthrough players like Ginobili, Parker, and even Leonard.

Simultaneously.

Although Beverly on the outside is very powerful, he can only defend Parker alone.

If Ginobili and Leonard launch attacks one after another, how much do you expect Harden and Parsons to do?
So when Leonard and Ginobili directly attacked the Rockets' inside line according to their vision, the Rockets' defense became a disaster level.

Because Harden's defense is not good, after Ginobili breaks through the inside, Asik must step forward to defend, otherwise the opponent will have nothing in front of him.

Asik moves, then the others have to take turns.

When the others took turns, the Spurs still had one vacancy.

This time it was none other than Duncan who was defended by Qin Tao.

He seemed to show off his shooting range on purpose when he was facing the gap, pretending to be afraid of the Rockets' defense, and was only one meter away from the three-point line on the right, making a direct hit with a symbolic ultra-long swipe.

Qin Tao's expression changed.

He didn't expect things to develop to such a point, and the serious spurs made him very depressed.

But when it was the Rockets' turn to attack, Qin Tao said to others beyond doubt that he would not give others the ball in the future.

This is a helpless choice, and it is also something he must do in his position.

The Spurs seem to be very aware of this point. Duncan directly swapped positions with Splitter, which means that it is like saying, little brother, please start your performance.

Boom! !
Qin Tao pursed his lips tightly. Not only did he slam the basketball into the hoop fiercely, but he also knocked Split in front of him out of the baseline.

After landing, he heard cheers soaring into the sky and saw excited faces, but he couldn't feel happy in his heart.

he knows.

They lost this game!
