Legend Raiders

Chapter 436

pity.

McHale found that he could not suppress the restlessness of the players at all. No matter how he tried to appease them, their expressions could not calm down.

Even Qin Tao, who has always been calm, now feels very anxious.

oh~~
McHale couldn't help but secretly sighed. Looking at the group of young people, he suddenly smiled wryly and secretly said: "This is something that every player will experience, not to mention they are just a group of children."

That's it.

McHale looked up at the championship flag floating in mid-air at the Toyota Center, his eyes flashed with envy, and he said to Qin Tao and the others in a very calm tone: "I understand your feelings very well, as long as you work hard in the next competition, you will be able to win the championship." Well, don’t put so much pressure and burden on yourself.”

Say it.

McHale smiled at Qin Tao, who was stunned, and then called Bickerstaff and the others back to the coach's bench, leaving this place for them.

Staring blankly at the "refrigerator", Qin Tao couldn't help feeling a bit of coolness, which made his brain clearer.

Looking at Harden and the others again, although their expressions were somewhat calmer, the anxiety still floated on their faces.

Yes.

Am I still young?
What's more, the first season has played to the present, I am afraid that this is something that [-]% of the players have never done, right?
Qin Tao tried his best to comfort himself, trying to make himself calmer.

But the whistle sounded after the timeout ended.

Back on the field.

Although the Rockets' anxious Spurs players are completely in their eyes, they are under a lot of pressure now, after all, their lead is only three points.

If they can't withstand the impact of the Rockets, then a mere three-pointer may be able to tie with one goal.

If there is another problem with their defense, then the Rockets will most likely rely on their impact to overtake them, and even directly become the winner of this game, and directly become the one who advances to the finals and is crowned the Western Conference champion!
and so.

Although they are much calmer than the Rockets, but if you look closely at their eyes, they are not much relaxed, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as good acting skills.

and.

After Popovich followed them to the sidelines, he did not choose to return to his position, but just watched the court very seriously.

pass the ball.

Parker receives a pass from Leonard and runs upfield with him.

While they were advancing, the fans and commentators outside the stadium, as well as the celebrities and stars present, could all clearly find that their rhythm had returned to their own rhythm.

Slow down!

Do not!
It should be a delay!

After the time has entered a minute and a half, the Spurs are obviously going to play time-consuming tactics.

After all, it is the Rockets who are behind, and if they are in a hurry, they must be the first to make mistakes.

Their strategy certainly worked, and the Rockets' press began as soon as they entered half court.

collision!

Intense collision!

The Rockets feel like they are fighting hand-to-hand with a sharp knife, and the desperate feeling makes people feel like they are on the scene.

The Spurs really didn't expect the Rockets to be so fierce, regardless of whether the action would foul or not, they kept increasing the intensity of confrontation.

at last!

Because Beverly moved too much, Ginobili was pulled by him when he tried to get rid of it.

whistle.

Beverly looked like a normal person, he didn't make any nonsense abuse, turned around and leaned towards his teammates.

Qin Tao raised his hand and scratched his hair, and said something in his ear, and this guy immediately giggled.

penalty.

Ginobili also made a small mistake at this time, making two free throws and one, and the point difference between the two teams returned to four points again.

Into the last 1 minute.

Beverly quickly advanced forward with the ball, and his teammates followed and settled down one after another.

suddenly!

Qin Tao on the inside was the first to move.

He quickly gave Beverly a cover, and immediately dismantled and ran to the high position on the right. It happened that Parsons brought Leonard and came over again, taking advantage of the opportunity to make another cover.

The sudden continuous screens forced the Spurs to have a loophole in their defense.

The players themselves were too focused, which also prevented them from reacting immediately.

follow closely.

The Rockets' runs seemed endless, and pick-and-rolls were everywhere, leaving the Spurs in the dark as to who was the protagonist of the offense.

When the time entered 50 seconds, at a position 45 degrees to the left, the Rockets suddenly had a double screen. Harden sprinted to the bottom corner. Jeremy Lin, who pretended to break through from the bottom line on the right, made a jump shot and quickly passed the basketball.

catch the ball.

Harden ignored Danny Green who was running wildly, took a deep breath, looked at the basket in the distance, took off, and shot.

Get in!

Must go in! !
At this moment, there seemed to be only the sound of heartbeats in the arena, and everyone was watching the trajectory of the basketball.

But when everyone outside the court was paying attention, the competition for the inside line in the half court reached a fever pitch in an instant.

collision!

Hit hard!
Qin Tao took the lead in rushing into the inside line, and Duncan kept putting him under physical pressure.

Parsons and Leonard were already entangled, and the two moved so fast that they might foul in the next second.

Coupled with Beverly and Jeremy Lin, Ginobili and Parker, the entire inside line suddenly became a mess.

boom!
Basketball finally had a close contact with the basket.

Everyone fighting for the basket paused, and then desperately pressed against each other, waiting for the ball to land.

however.

When the basketball passed the front circle and rolled into the basket, the arena froze for a moment, and immediately burst into cheers!

one cent!
The gap between the Rockets and the Spurs is only one point, and the time has come to 40 seconds, leaving them with an offense and defense.

pause!

Popovich was the first to call a timeout. He couldn't let the Rockets play with such momentum, he had to suppress them!

Back off the field.

Qin Tao and the others showed no happy expressions at all, after all, this is not the time to celebrate.

McHale suppressed his beating heart, and quickly marked all the possible offensive points of the Spurs and things that needed their attention with a tactical board.

The pause is finally over!

Qin Tao took the lead in roaring to cheer for himself, and then Harden and the others followed at the same time, followed by the roar of mountains and tsunami.

this moment!
It will be a watershed in the entire game, whoever can score, the final result will be biased towards one side.

coming!

Parker received a pass from Duncan, took a deep breath and pushed forward steadily.

wait.

After Duncan and the others settled down one after another, Parker started to organize.

The criticality of this ball will be a huge test for him as a point guard.

But Beverly didn't want him to work comfortably, and rushed towards him like a bulldog.

Simultaneously.

Beverly's choice was like sounding the horn of the last fight. Qin Tao and the others quickly entangled with Duncan and the others, trying to imprison them completely.

It's Ginobili again!

His escape was full of strangeness, his body was like a tumbler, despite Jeremy Lin desperately defending, he still successfully completed the escape.

The ball arrives!

The moment Ginobili took the ball, he rushed to the inside.

While strengthening Duncan and Leonard, Qin Tao and Parsons quickly reacted as they should, holding their defenders with one hand, and pretending to rush towards Ginobili at any time.

But Ginobili's choice was still reasonable, he stopped for a jumper, and the basketball went into the net neatly.

FUCK! !
Fierce abuse resounded throughout the arena, and the fans were the first to burst out with swearing.

Look at the time.

Because of the Spurs' rhythm problem, the Rockets still had 19 seconds left in time.

pause?

McHale kept yelling in frustration, they had no timeout, and the players would be left to deal with it.

Huchi~
huff~~
Qin Tao's eyes were slightly congested, and they were standing in the half court trying to mobilize their physical strength.

Jeremy Lin and Beverley stood on the baseline, waiting for Joe Crawford to blow the whistle.

serve.

When Jeremy Lin handed over the basketball to Beverly, he didn't choose to run up the court, but ran back and forth with him to prepare for the sudden pressing of the Spurs.

really.

When Beverly was still about five meters away from the middle circle, Parker and Ginobili, led by Parker, suddenly pressed on them.

Collision.

Qin Tao and the others resolutely moved closer to the middle circle, blocking a strong position and preventing the Spurs from having the opportunity to double-team.

The time has come to test Beverly and Jeremy Lin.

Relying on their own speed, they kept trying to get rid of the two of Parker.

When they finally approached the middle circle, the Spurs' line suddenly retreated towards Qin Tao and the others, as if they were not allowed to use tactics.

suddenly!

Qin Tao squeezed out of the crowd, and Sa Yazi ran to the inside!
Does the Rockets have to choose a quick two-pointer for this goal?
After seeing this scene, everyone raised their hearts to their throats.

If they enter a foul fight, they really can't guarantee how much chance the Rockets will have.

But Qin Tao's purpose is not the case, but to tear apart the Spurs' press and leave opportunities for his teammates to play.

really.

Because of Qin Tao's actions, the Spurs' pressing was immediately shattered.

But the time also came to 14 seconds, but it was enough for the Rockets to make a three-pointer.

That's right!

At this critical moment, they did not choose to play two points quickly, because the fault tolerance rate of doing so would be out of control. It is better to quickly make a three-pointer.

cover!

cover!

cover!

Everyone in the Rockets is covering for their teammates. Except for Qin Tao, everyone else in this lineup does have the capital to make a move.

And the Spurs were crazy and kept chasing and defending.

at last!

With Qin Tao playing a pick-and-roll with Harden from a high position, he turned around and made a screen for Parsons running from behind, which directly prompted one of the two to have a chance.

But this opportunity appeared on Parsons, not Harden, who has a high fault tolerance rate.

FUCK! !
Since Parsons entered the league, his three-pointers cannot be described well.

But after the round just ended, they got together to discuss, and the result was that, except for Qin Tao, no matter who got the ball outside the three-point line, they had to make a decisive shot.

Fight!

The strong pressure on his body made Parsons feel suffocated, but the Spurs would not give him a chance, so he adjusted quickly and finally made the shot with prayers to God.

The entire arena was dead silent, and everyone was looking at the basketball.

at last.

When the basketball smashed into the basket at a fast angle, the entire arena was fried again.

tie!

Parsons was ordered in the face of danger and actually hit the tie ball!
however.

With McHale's trembling roar off the court, Qin Tao and the others had no time to celebrate, and quickly deployed defenses against the Spurs.

Defense!

Qin Tao let the sweat soak his eyes and followed Duncan without blinking.

They have a lot of people who can play this last ball, especially Duncan and Ginobili are the biggest threats.

Parker gets the ball!

The Spurs have no timeout either, they have to decide for themselves.

Come to the front court.

The Spurs still played their rhythm calmly, putting the pressure entirely on the Rockets.

Don't wait for any mistakes!

While Qin Tao and the others defended toughly, they kept warning themselves to be calm.

at last.

As the time entered the last five seconds, the fans in the stands clenched their hands tightly, and sweat stains appeared on their palms.

cover!

Duncan suddenly mentioned the high position and covered Leonard strictly.

Leonard was expressionless, but he came to the top of the arc very quickly, received a pass from his teammate, and did not forget to check the time, and then rushed towards Qin Tao with his eyes wide open, and made a shooting motion , deceived Qin Tao, stepped on the tail of 24 seconds, rushed into a big step and made an emergency stop jump shot.
