Legend Raiders

Chapter 396 After the First Quarter
In the dugout.

Qin Tao and the others drank their drinks and listened to McHale's next arrangement.

This old man seems to know what the Spurs will do in response, and his tone of voice is very confident, as if it is the result of long-term thinking.

As for what he arranged for Qin Tao and the others, we will not know until after the next game starts.

at last.

As Crawford blew the whistle to start the game, players from both teams walked to the field.

And when the fans in the stands and the famous Spurs in the commentary saw the lineup sent by the Rockets, they were stunned.

Without him.

Except for Qin Tao, the main force of the Rockets, the others are still their original substitutes, which is basically a regular rotation.

Seeing such a lineup, Ginobili, who had already played, seemed to have an idea and walked directly to Boris Dior.

"Dude, I just need you to entangle Qin Tao next. You don't need to fight him personally. Your task is to consume his physical strength as much as possible!"

Boris Dior squinted his eyes, glanced at Qin Tao who looked like a normal person, nodded without hesitation, and took over the task.

For the Spurs, they have more choices and a lot of ways to deal with them.

And McHale's self-confidence is probably based on Qin Tao's physical fitness.

After all, in the regular season and some important games, Qin Tao's physical strength and performance were nothing to say, and he was a brutal group in the end.

nowadays.

They no longer cared about the consequences of excessive physical exertion.

After all, once they lose this game, they really can't guarantee that they can take the victory home in the next game when they are behind 1:2.

so.

Qin Tao became the key to this game.

But in other words, what should the core players do?Isn't that their job?
Play.

Regarding McHale's arrangement, Qin Tao didn't talk nonsense, this is what he should do.

What's more, if he fights so heartily and vividly, who knows how far he can improve.

This thing is like forging iron, after a lot of tempering, it is naturally invincible.

A lot of nonsense, the game continues.

After returning to the court, the Spurs advanced unhurriedly, still wanting to play their rhythm.

The Rockets are still the same, no one is going to mark, and no one is leading the whole court, so they just sit in the half court and wait for their arrival.

Don't say it.

Ginobili, as one of the core offensive points when he first played, is very sensitive to changes in rhythm.

It seems that Dior, Duncan, Leonard and Parker are not in a hurry, but only he can feel that they are still faster than usual.

incredible.

Ginobili looked at the Rockets lineup and really admired their way of doing things quietly.

However, the offense and defense of the two teams are like two armies facing each other. They don't have so many ideas, and they just do it after running away.

Duncan put up a high post to cover him, Parker passed the ball to Leonard, and Diaw pulled it over together, directly making a strong flank.

Weak side here.

Parker and Ginobili crossed positions to prevent Carlos Delfino and Beverly from taking care of others, and even used the flanks to run, making the Rockets' insiders afraid to focus on the front.

In this way, Qin Tao's pressure increased.

If his point is unstable due to anything, then as long as the Spurs play according to their usual tactics, other teammates except Beverly will definitely not be able to stop the Spurs' offense.

So now he not only needs to defend against Duncan, but also needs to take into account the breakthrough of the Spurs, so that his concentration will be scattered, and this state is also a bit dangerous.

Simply Garcia and Greg Smith were very active, and there was no crisis situation.

When the Spurs couldn't start the situation on the strong side, after Leonard tried to break through and failed, they immediately passed the ball to the weak side when the time entered 15 seconds.

of course.

His pass was so sudden that Delfino had no idea that it would be handed over to Ginobili at this time.

When it comes to defense, although Delfino is not bad, but when facing Ginobili, his skill is still a bit inferior.

and so.

When Ginobi used his nimble footsteps and his magical breakthrough method to finally rush to the inside with the ball, Greg Smith had to immediately go up to defend because of his miss.

When he made such a move, Qin Tao had to be on both sides, and there were loopholes in his defense.

Simultaneously.

Parker and Leonard also began to use running to put pressure on the Rockets' defense, making their defense suddenly feel shaky.

wipe it up!

Qin Tao used his long arm to support Duncan, and the other arm pointed to Dior who was one meter away.

In the current situation, he can only react passively until Ginobili chooses to pass the ball.

But the problem is not just that, once Ginobili chooses to break through by himself and Greg Smith can't stop him, then his pressure will skyrocket in vain.

a time.

Because of his defensive pressure, the Rockets immediately made Harden and the others clench their fists.

coming!

Ginobili passed the big man with just two feints after facing Greg Smith's defense.

Facing the advantage of the inside line, Ginobili didn't even think about it, so he stepped up and rushed over.

Now the last thing the Rockets want to see happened.

In desperation, Qin Tao had no choice but to give up on both sides, stepped on Ginobili's breakthrough route, and prayed that this guy would not pass the ball.

But the idea is good, whatever the result is bad, the result will come.

Ginobili confronted Qin Tao's body forcefully, and at the same time gave the ball to Dior behind Qin Tao with a backhand.

The flexible big fat man jumped up like a buckle, not to mention how excited he was after landing.

However, before he could recall it, as Ginobili yelled, he buried his head and rushed forward.

pity.

Don't say that Dior didn't expect it, even Ginobili, who predicted this result, and even Duncan and Leonard who ran to the backcourt earlier, didn't expect the Rockets' advance to be so fast.

At the same time that Dior completed the dunk, Qin Tao took the ball and handed it to the baseline referee.

The referee pointed the ball back, Qin Tao passed it to Beverly and ran out.

At last.

The process was quite quick, and with a long pass from Beverly, Qin Tao had already settled the round with a dunk.

It seems that they are preparing to respond with a swift attack!

At last.

When the whistle sounded at the end of this quarter, although the Spurs relied on their stability and lineup to make up for the previous point difference, they finally got a 4-point lead, but the Rockets led by Qin Tao left home fans. Impressed.

Especially the core Qin Tao, his ferocity is unforgettable, and his defense is extremely large.
