Legend Raiders

Chapter 429 After the First Quarter
Behind David Stern, a middle-aged Chinese man with a short stature and gray hair who appeared to be in his 60s or [-]s appeared on the big screen in mid-air.

The fans at the scene didn't make any noise, and they didn't seem to know the middle-aged man.

But they didn't know each other, but Qin Tao was deeply impressed.

Coincidentally.

I don't know if there is a tacit understanding between the two, but the eyes of the middle-aged man and Qin Tao suddenly met.

smile.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly at Qin Tao, and the cameraman who noticed the situation immediately focused on Qin Tao.

they know each other? ?
This is a question that all fans subconsciously have.

However, the fans were relieved to find out their skin color and appearance.

Chinese people.

However, Qin Tao's mood was only surprise after the accident.

He had just made a decision with Zarya on the issue of sneakers, and this sports tycoon from Li Ning, who was also called by this name, came here in person right now.

of course.

Judging by the way he and Stern came together, maybe it wasn't because he came in person, but because of some strategic cooperation with the alliance.

However, he chose this node to come to Houston to watch the game. If there was nothing in it, Qin Tao would not be the first to believe it.

However, now is not the time to be entangled in this matter. Tonight's game is a battle of life and death for them.

Won.

They can step onto the stage of the finals with the supreme halo!

Lost.

As long as they don't lose too badly, their performance this season is enough to stay in the history of the NBA.

The Spurs here.

They were not affected by the visiting team's home game at all, and they did what they should do, basically the same as usual.

However, if a careful person looks at Popovich's appearance, he can see a little dignified.

After a whole series of confrontation, Popovich is really a little afraid of the Rockets.

As a master tactician, the last thing he wants to see, other than players not doing what they want, is that the opponent's players are like a pack of wild wolves, directly fighting you to death.

In this series, such a situation has happened at least once or twice, and the final result is also biased towards the Rockets.

At this moment.

If the Rockets' mentality adjustment is perfect, and they don't bring any burdens to kill you, then the final result may not be that the Spurs will lose, but I am afraid that the word "once" will appear.

But all these claims are false, and only after the game is the time to see the truth.

soon.

Accompanied by the explosion-like music in the arena, and after the fans cheered loudly, it was finally the players' turn for the appearance ceremony.

before the game.

The coaches of the two teams obviously have a full tacit understanding, and did not send out any strange lineups, but arranged the regular main players of the two teams on the field.

Thus.

Their arrangement surprised the fans present, who obviously wanted to see a different kind of offensive and defensive battle.

But everyone knew what kind of game this was. Everyone suppressed their emotions and concentrated on waiting for the game to start.

jump ball.

Asik looked a little tight, and Diego Splitter had the same temperament as the Spurs, and he didn't seem to have much reaction.

toss.

When Joe Crawford tossed the basketball into the air, the duo jumped right then and there.

Desperately!

Asik stretched out his long arms with all his strength, and suddenly kicked his legs in mid-air, his fingers took the ball first for the Rockets.

cheer.

Asik's performance won the affirmation of the fans at the scene, who sent him cheers resounding throughout the arena.

off the field.

Qin Tao squinted at everything on the field, and the athletic factor in his body was already a little restless.

Jeremy Lin steadily advanced with the ball, and did not increase the speed and rhythm.

As the Rockets players settled down, their tactics began to run.

Regarding the Rockets' tactics, the Spurs' defense is very clear, just not to make Harden comfortable.

The Rockets' lineup is completely dominated by Harden. As long as he is limited to a certain extent, it will be a very good thing for the Spurs.

However, his status as the main force for the entire season has given Harden great confidence.

Coupled with his personal ability, if he wants to limit him, Gary Neal needs to work harder.

catch the ball.

Harden bent over and lowered his center of gravity, the basketball didn't stop, ready to attack at any time.

Jeremy Lin and Parsons began to run around the field, and Asik and Motel also emptied the inside.

Do ball singles.

Harden put out three threats and put pressure on Neil with a tentative step.

subconsciously.

Gary Neal took two steps forward, trying to force Harden to start from the right.

Well known.

The right side is Harden's weak side. If he launches an attack in this direction, his success rate is not as terrible as it will be a few years later.

But Harden would never give him such an opportunity. His body found a confrontation first, and with his thick body and strength, he squeezed Neil directly to the right.

Moved.

Harden shot continuously with his left hand, the rhythm of his feet changed, breaking through Gary Neal was an emergency stop jumper.

The ball goes in.

The Rockets' offense this time was very smooth, but no one looked relaxed and quickly began to return to defense.

When Parker advanced with the ball, he felt significantly slower, which proved that he was not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface.

The state of the others is not too different, and the rhythm is basically slower than usual, but no one doubts that their success rate will drop a lot.

Hold your breath.

All the fans at the scene paid close attention to the Rockets' defense. After all, the home team is not good at this.

coming!

Harden took the lead and quickly approached Gary Neal, and the others joined forces to suddenly bring pressure to the Spurs.

confrontation!

The physical collision caused the Spurs to run stagnantly.

But the critical moment is when the key player appears.

Leonard quickly stepped forward to respond, obviously this lineup will be dominated by him.

catch the ball.

Parker ran the other way as he gave the ball, Gary Neal screened for him, and Parsons had to be taken.

Facing Harden, Leonard's offense was very tough. He directly contacted him with his body, and his tough muscles instantly judged.

Leonard broke through!

Asik and Motel were ready to block at the same time, but Duncan and Split pulled both sides.

FUCK! !
The two tall men cursed secretly at the same time, and found that Leonard had already taken off, and it was impossible to go to help defend.

The ball goes in.

When Leonard landed, he turned around and ran away, as if he wasn't the one who threw the basketball and it had nothing to do with him at all.

And with the two teams attacking fairly smoothly, they did not have a big gap at the last moment of the first quarter. The score was 22:20, and the Rockets were temporarily behind by two points.
