Legend Raiders

Chapter 43 Halftime Lead
Stop him!
He must be stopped!

Will Barton didn't seem to notice that Qin Tao had already received Lin Shuhao's pass, and was desperately chasing after him.

Lillard, who was also chasing after him, had already slowed down his pace, but under the influence of his childhood rookie, he cursed angrily and hurriedly followed Barton's footsteps.

pity.

How could Qin Tao, who had shown terrifying impact in the first two games, give them a chance?
When he rushed into the free throw line with the ball, he took another big step, leaped high, and made a fierce tomahawk dunk.

a time.

The entire home court immediately burst into cheers, especially the group of overseas students and ethnic Chinese from China, who danced excitedly as if they had completed the dunk.

Landing.

Qin Tao seemed to be affected. After he hadn't shouted for a long time, he hammered his chest and pointed his arms at the group of cute guys.

The cameraman in the stands immediately showed them the camera, and the Chinese elements, which he hadn't seen for a long time, immediately aroused bursts of cheers.

Go back to the backcourt.

Qin Tao and Harden clapped their hands one by one to celebrate, and then quickly posted JJ Hickson.

Damn.

Hixon cursed secretly with an ugly face, just one ball, and he fell behind in front of Qin Tao.

Lillard advanced with the ball, first signaled his teammates tactical layout, and opened up the space a little bit. He faced Jeremy Lin in front of him, and it seemed that he wanted to play alone.

really.

A series of fake moves appeared in a dazzling manner.

The skillful ball handling skills immediately put great pressure on Jeremy Lin.

Honestly.

Although Jeremy Lin has the ability to start, but in terms of physical fitness, he is still not as good as this group of extremely aggressive players.

collision!

Tangle!

fit!

Get on the pressure!
Jeremy Lin used all methods to keep compressing Lillard's offensive line.

pity.

When the time entered the last eight seconds of this round, Lillard suddenly changed his rhythm, causing Jeremy Lin to lose his center of gravity, exerting force on his feet in vain, and breaking through the past cleanly.

Insider.

Asik and Jeffries are entangled, and the two refuse to give in to each other, and a man-to-man battle immediately ensues.

weak side.

Hixon resisted Qin Tao's tough entanglement, and rubbed towards the inside line with difficulty.

a time.

As the hand-to-hand combat of the inside players kicked off, the other players on both sides immediately shrank to the inside.

Lillard, who broke through with the ball, didn't seem to see the potential threat. When Morris was about to help defend in place, he rushed into the inside line at an astonishing speed without the slightest fear.

Swish!
boom!
Lillard kept himself still in the air, licked the basket skillfully with his right hand, and the moment the ball scored, he fell heavily to the floor.

Jeffries pulled him up, looked at the future core of the team, and couldn't help but patted his ass: "Little brother, well done!"

Although Lillard's licking basket was not as explosive as Qin Tao's, it quickly gave the Rockets a counterattack.

The Rockets advanced with the ball, Jeremy Lin handed the basketball to Harden again, and ran quickly with other players.

Qin Tao stepped forward to cover at a high position, and Hickson and Matthews switched positions at the same time.

Facing the thin Will Barton, Qin Tao couldn't help teasing: "Will, why do you always lose weight?"

Will Barton frowned, then shrugged his shoulders: "Brother, people's physiques are not the same. I also want to be as tall as you, but the body has limits."

The very peaceful answer immediately won Qin Tao's favor.

He stopped talking trash, and focused on observing the situation on the court.

Facing Hickson's defense, Harden obviously played very aggressively.

Three threats.

tentative step.

Hash shook his head and tail, pretending to make a breakthrough.

Harden's movements are smooth and smooth. When Hixon instinctively retreated, his iconic step back appeared, and he opened his hand to make a precise three-pointer.

Pretty!

The rest of the teammates immediately applauded loudly, clapped their hands in succession, and quickly ran to the backcourt.

a time.

The two sides gradually entered the core confrontation battle.

Here Harden completes the Harden touch, while Lillard throws himself out again with his speed and personal ability, completing the attack with full impact.

Both players.

Everyone except them was making hard physical contact.

finally.

When the two sides ended the halftime game, the Rockets once again relied on Harden's performance to win the halftime game with a score of 20:17.

Go back to the locker room.

McHale praised the performance of the players very much, and he was really surprised to be able to play such a performance back to back.

rest.

Definitely don't stress them out.

The team's nutritionist immediately delivered energy-enhancing food and drinks to the players.

Everyone was eating and drinking, talking and laughing happily.

After the break.

The two sides returned to the arena one after another. The Rockets replaced Asik and was replaced by Cole Aldridge. They still used the last lineup of the first half, and Qin Tao really got a lot of playing time.

For the Blazers, the lineup has changed a lot.

Because Lillard, Matthews, and even Batum played a lot of playing time, Gentleman coach Terry Stotts immediately adopted personnel rotation.

Center position.

Because of Hickson's poor performance, Stotts was very bold and used this year's NO.11 pick Meyers Leonard again.

The position of power forward, in order to stabilize, is replaced by Aldridge, who has been resting for a long time.

The small forward position was replaced by 10-year rookie Luke Babbitt.

The shooting guard was replaced by Matthews, and the point guard was replaced by a small point guard Ronnie Price.

Make sense.

In this lineup of the Blazers, except for the dominant inside, the other positions can be described as green.

but.

If you take into account the necessary rotation and the need for rest for the main force, their lineup is understandable.

Maybe this quarter only plays 2 minutes, at most 3 minutes, and Stotts will be replaced with other main players.

Game start.

The Blazers advanced the frontcourt with a very clear goal, and Price immediately gave the ball to Aldridge, who was fighting Qin Tao on the inside.

Facing this power forward with top offensive skills and the core of the six-year-old team, Qin Tao did not dare to be careless in the slightest. The moment Ade received the ball, he posted it without hesitation.

Ade felt a lot of pressure, turned from his back to his face-up position, and walked tentatively.

Qin Tao took advantage of the situation, cleverly did not get close again, and raised his right hand high, constantly interfering with Ade's vision, and kept his eyes on his side.

a time.

The two seemed to be awkward, Ade couldn't find a chance to shoot, and Qin Tao didn't dare to shoot rashly.

Sudden.

Ade, who kept probing, pretended to be sideways, and made a posture of hitting with his back, which attracted Qin Tao to step forward subconsciously, and drew a circle from under his body with both hands in his hands. Qin Tao instinctively pulled out his arm, and hit Ade on the arm.

drop~~
The lineman on the right immediately blew his whistle and gestured to the technical table, and there was a burst of boos in the arena.

Qin Tao paid the price for his lack of experience.

　apologies.

　　My son has just started elementary school these days, I am a little tired here, the update is late, everyone forgive me.
