Chapter 392 Arrived in San Antonio

Chapter 392 Arrived in San Antonio

The next morning.

When Qin Tao and Harden came to the training hall one after another, they chatted about yesterday's game between the Heat and the Pacers.

someone said.

This game was completely controlled by the Pacers, and the Heat fell into their rhythm without knowing it.

It was also said.

The Heat will have such a situation, it is entirely because their styles are very similar to the Pacers, both teams are mainly defensive.

However, more people support the Heat, saying that they just have a problem with their performance, and they will definitely not give the Pacers too many opportunities in the next game.

But as Qin Tao's memories of previous lives surged in his mind, he knew that the Heat didn't have a problem with their performance, but that they weren't ready at all.

To know.

After the start of this year's Eastern Conference playoffs, everyone put the Nets and Knicks as the first picks to win the championship.

Especially the Nets!

They got Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace, and Brook Lopez who they cultivated, as well as rebounders Reggie Evans, Humphries, etc. With the role players, there's really no reason why they shouldn't be contenders for the Eastern Conference title.

Then there's the Knicks.

Although many things have happened to them this year, as the season progresses and because of their own record, in the absence of Stoudemire, they are also regarded as one of the most anticipated teams to challenge the Heat .

Regardless of the fact that the Pacers are ranked third in the Eastern Conference this year, their combination of young and old is also very exciting, but for some reason, the voices supporting them are a bit small after all.

but.

When the playoffs officially kicked off, they suddenly became the most watched team besides the Heat.

In the first round of the series, the Pacers only scored 69 points except for the third game. The scores of the other five games were really amazing.

As a defensive-oriented team, they were able to score more than 113 points in four of them, and even in the second game, they even scored [-] points, which is normal for a strong offensive team. I was taken aback.

After all, a defensive-oriented and strong defensive team actually has such a terrifying offensive power. If it encounters any Eastern Conference team, it must not scare anyone to death?

so.

With more and more attention, the Pacers' "ranking" is naturally rising.

Next.

With their series over, all eyes are on the Knicks.

If they successfully get rid of the Celtics, then the next round of the series between them and the Pacers.

With the beginning of this series, although the Knicks were attacked by the Celtics powerfully, but the current "Kingzi" has begun to decline, and the threat is not as great as their lineup.

At last.

When the Knicks beat the Celtics 4:2, the game between them and the Pacers became the biggest focus in the Eastern Conference.

then.

After a fierce collision, the tough defense of the Pacers still had the last laugh, taking down their "biggest" competitor with a score of 4:2.

Thus.

They didn't have the appearance of a champion before, but they were regarded by many people as strong contenders for the Eastern Conference championship.

People who say this kind of thing are really dumbfounding.

If the team that entered the Eastern Conference finals is not the biggest contender for the Eastern Conference championship, then is Shui still qualified to say this?
so.

Even though the Pacers are now 1:1 at the Heat's home court, they are still not favored by most people because of their "identities" along the way.

But Qin Tao knew very well that the Heat were really lucky.

If the Pacers played less nervously and played more rationally in the most critical game, maybe they would have entered the finals.

But this cannot be said, and Qin Tao is not good at commenting.

What's more, I really can't say for sure about this matter, after all, I really don't know what will change when he "comes back".

Maybe this year's championship will be the Spurs?

Maybe there is no Ray Allen's against the sky?
So with Qin Tao's return, there are already uncertain factors in some things.

After these guys finished talking, McHale and Bickerstaff came to the training hall.

In their final practice before heading to San Antonio, McHale didn't ask them to work harder, but instead kept reminding them of the importance of focus.

At this time, technology and ability, focus and tenacity, obviously the latter is more important.

It was not until around four o'clock in the afternoon that the Rockets finished their final training before leaving Houston.

While washing and tidying up, Qin Tao and the others kept encouraging their teammates. After all, they all knew that they really didn't know the consequences of this trip to San Antonio.

arrive home.

Qin Taoquan pretended that these pressures did not exist, and joked with Zarya and Christine Laidlow for a while, without hinting at anything he understood, turned around and walked to his equipment room.

This trip to San Antonio, where they will stay at least five or six days, two games before returning.

So he needs to prepare enough things so that there will be no such problems.

The first is the sneakers.

Because Qin Tao has not signed a contract with any company, no matter which company's sneakers he wears, basically there is no problem.

In order to make himself more flexible and avoid some troublesome upper body, he has prepared a few pairs of Adidas and Nike this time, and he can wear whatever he wants.

As for other things, it is much more flexible. After all, there are still some things prepared by the team's equipment department.

The next morning.

Qin Tao slept until after nine o'clock.

Because San Antonio is not very far from Houston, it can be reached within three hours by car, and the Rockets set off a little later.

Two in the afternoon.

When Qin Tao and the others took the team bus and drove slowly into the hotel, the nearly three-hour drive made them look somewhat tired.

But as the lunch they ate was eaten, the guys perked up.

According to routine procedures, after the break, they need to go to the Spurs home court to adapt to the venue.

Regarding this kind of thing, Qin Tao used to feel very bored. After all, this is not the 90s, and it is rare for the visiting team to use the floor to cheat people.

However, after overhearing his complaints, Bickerstaff told him dumbfounded that adapting to the venue was indeed a bit redundant, but the real purpose was to conduct on-site interviews.

nowadays.

Although the influence and commercial value of the alliance have reached an astonishing level, they still need exposure to let more people remember the alliance.

What's more, now is the time for the finals of the East and West. Not only reporters from the American media will be present, but media from other countries will also appear.
