Legend Raiders

Chapter 435 The Last 4 Minutes
As Qin Tao walked towards the court, he looked sternly at the Spurs.

Honestly.

They will send such a lineup at this time, and Popovich must have studied the small lineup in depth.

The current lineup is basically the same as Qin Tao's.

First of all, in terms of inside defense and offense, Qin Tao has the same role as Duncan, but Qin Tao has a slight advantage.

Then there is the offense and defense of the other four positions.

Needless to say, Leonard is definitely better than Parsons.

Harden's ability is beyond doubt. Even if Danny Green's defense is really good, he can't limit Harden.

Coupled with Ginobili and Parker, Beverly and Jeremy Lin have a slight advantage in defense, but they are really not as good as these two All-Stars.

of course.

The small lineup of the Rockets has played something, and the person who verified the effect is precisely the Spurs.

Must fight!
Qin Tao looked at his teammates, clenched his fist and waved it violently.

Sensing his thoughts, Harden and the others immediately became murderous one by one.

At this time, any reservations are self-deception. Only by playing desperately will they have a chance to win this game.

What's more, the point difference between them is not very much, only four points.

Given that there are still nearly 4 minutes left, this point difference is really nothing.

And the Spurs, who have sacrificed this lineup, are naturally more eager for victory after they play what they want.

To know.

Since they won the championship a few years ago, although they are still a strong team in the playoffs in recent years, they finally missed the finals.

So this season so far, although they have encountered such an unexpected tough bone as the Rockets, they believe very much that as long as they can win the Rockets, no matter whether they encounter the Heat or the Pacers in the finals, they have great confidence to win. next series.

of course.

It's still the same old saying, what you say now is superfluous, and it will only be true after you play.

coming!

Joe Crawford made a rare gesture to the core players of both sides, telling them not to move too much, otherwise he would not sit idly by.

Both Qin Tao and Duncan understood such warnings very well.

After all, there is only a 4-minute life-and-death battle, and it is really possible that anything will happen.

Serve!

Jeremy Lin quickly handed the ball to Beverly and ran forward with him.

After replacing the small lineup, the Rockets' pace is significantly faster.

For example, when running, even Qin Tao, the only insider, is constantly doing work for his teammates and trying to create opportunities.

And Harden and the others are also very powerful, no one thinks about saving their strength, as long as they can run, they will never leave.

a time.

Because of the change of the Spurs' lineup, the rhythm between them and the Rockets on the court has gradually accelerated to the point that it is almost impossible to recognize the fast pace of the Spurs.

At this time.

When Parsons and Harden crossed from the bottom corners on both sides and just entered the penalty area, Qin Tao, who supported him from a high position, launched an attack!

He didn't choose options with a low fault tolerance rate such as lobs, but gave the Spurs the appearance of passing the ball at any time, and as their attention was attracted, he rushed to the inside with the ball.

at the same time.

Harden and Parsons had a tacit understanding, and immediately ran in the opposite direction, tearing out the entire inside line in the blink of an eye.

coming!

Qin Tao is like a tyrannosaur, soaring into the sky with a basketball in his hand.

Accompanied by a muffled sound that spread out, Qin Tao's explosive dunk action murdered a large amount of memory of the reporters at that time.

Landing!

Qin Tao seemed to be trying to boost his morale, pounding his chest and roaring to the sky.

Harden and the others haven't expressed it yet, and the fans in the stands who were already eager to give it a try are now blown up one by one.

I have to say that blood is really contagious.

Some fans with strong physiques, as well as young people who are more easily ignited, have begun to howl crazily.

And with their passionate performance, the Rockets' side is naturally excited, but the Spurs' side is a little short of breath.

Make sense.

Even if their experience is definitely at the top of the league, and their psychological quality is also at the top of the league, but under this situation, the invisible pressure is really not something to ignore.

So when Parker held the ball in accordance with the rhythm at the beginning and advanced the ball into the frontcourt without haste, Popovich, who was standing off the court, immediately yelled at him.

"start running!"

Parker shuddered, finally came to his senses, and quickly speeded up.

Popovich didn't return to his position after roaring, but crossed his arms on his chest and looked at the court expressionlessly.

On the field.

With the arrival of Parker, the rest of the Spurs immediately moved.

The first is the highly mobile outside line.

After Duncan let go of the inside and did some supporting work in the high position, Leonard and the others began to run around the half court.

The Spurs understand Duyi's tactical literacy, and their execution ability is beyond doubt.

So from their tactics at this time, it can be seen that they gradually gave the Rockets a false impression and did not expose their offensive points to them.

Now the Rockets player, who was so excited, became a little restless after the passion.

The Spurs' patience wears off their enthusiasm until the clock enters the final nine seconds before the Spurs expose Ginobili.

The demon knife was unsheathed again.

When he faced Beverly's defense, although the latter was already called crazy, he still lacked experience after all.

With his changing rhythm and footsteps, Ginobili completely passed Beverly cleanly.

But the Rockets' small lineup is also very capable of defending a little bit. Parsons quickly blocked Ginobili, and Qin Tao also took two steps towards Leonard, taking care of him and Duncan.

Ginobili, however, did not follow the usual path at all.

They didn't choose to continue to break through at all, but made a sudden stop, and scored a goal from the characteristic mid-range.

3 points!
The gap between the two teams has returned to three points, and the time has also entered three minutes and 18 seconds.

asphyxia.

When the fans looked at the time on the display, they were still full of enthusiasm, but suddenly fell silent.

This kind of sense of substitution in person is really worrying.

Especially since it was his own home court, not to mention the feeling.

But the players on the field, because of the intensity of the game, don't care about time at all. They just want to keep their lead or recover the points behind.

However, until the last minute and a half, the three-point gap remained unchanged.

anxiety!

irritable!

After a long stalemate, the Rockets first had a huge emotional ups and downs.

After all, they were all young people, and they really couldn't calm down quickly under such circumstances.

At this time, it is naturally the matter of the coaching staff.

If they can't appease the players' emotions, I'm afraid the next game will collapse at any moment.
