Legend Raiders

Chapter 57 Misfortune and Victory (Part [-])

The game continues.

Both Qin Tao and James, who have returned to reason, seem to have forgotten the tension they formed before, and they are doing what they should do very quietly.

finally.

Perhaps the Rockets were excited because of Qin Tao, or the Heat's players felt a little cold. The Rockets, which dominated the bench in this quarter, not only did not collapse as expected, but under the confrontation between the two sides, With a very high score of 33:31 in a single quarter, the city was defended for life.

Back off the field.

Perhaps it was because the games in these two quarters were very exciting, or because Qin Tao's performance made the fans very excited, bursts of applause and cheers immediately erupted from the stands.

Since then.

Under McHale's surprise praise, the Rockets walked towards their locker room one after another.

Just got in.

Darrell Morey sat inside very rarely, and seeing the way he was holding a coffee cup, he seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Hey lads, you've amazed me, best first half I've ever seen!"

Morey put down his glass and didn't mind giving them a high hand.

The players really liked this, and even Qin Tao, who had a little idea of ​​him, felt a little bit of complacency at the moment.

End of praise.

Morey encouraged them again, and then hid in the lounge seemingly knowingly.

Looking at the fat man's back, Qin Tao, who was complacent, smelled something strangely.

Make sense.

As the manager of the team, it is really not a big deal to come to the locker room to visit the players and coaching staff.

but.

Judging from Morey's pissing nature and his identity, this guy seems to have the intention of going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

For a while.

When McHale finished arranging the countermeasures for the second half, the coaching staff also walked to the lounge one after another. The locker room, which was originally lively, was suddenly mixed with a little bit of complicated emotions.

There is indeed a problem.

Qin Tao frowned slightly, looking at the team's new players this year.

Quite coincidentally yes.

A flash of light about the status of the Rockets this year actually flashed in his mind.

pity.

Before he could catch the flash, Harden sat beside him seemingly casually.

Patting him on the shoulder, Harden handed him a glass of drink, pretending to have a hot chat with him, but what he said made Qin Tao startled.

"I think you've seen something." Harden grinned, his acting skills were really good.

Qin Tao covered up his ignorance by drinking water, and asked in a low voice, "How do you say it?"

Harden put his arms around his shoulders, like an old man who grew up together, and said meaningfully: "My agent, it seems that I got some bad news."

I am!

Qin Tao's eyes widened, and then he quickly grasped the previous aura, and asked with a nervous voice, "You mean, there will be a big change in the team?"

alright.

Harden pretended to smile and nodded, as if he was going to end the game later and bring Qin Tao on for a while: "I haven't confirmed the news yet, but I have some doubts about the team's current lineup." Little awkwardness!"

Don't be awkward!
Qin Tao immediately rolled his eyes, this guy almost told him that the current lineup is really out of my mind, it's too good.

but.

With all kinds of news about the Rockets this year pouring out of Qin Tao's mind, he is in favor of the changes this year.

Without Morey's operation, I am afraid that the Rockets will not be able to reap great surprises for their future.

such as.

The "mad dog" who seems to be wandering abroad at present is also someone who has disappointed countless people, whose physical fitness has exploded, and who is actually so rough that my mother no longer loves me.

of course.

Qin Tao felt a little heavy all of a sudden, glanced at Morris who was preparing silently, shook his head helplessly and said inwardly: "This brother is really swollen in the face of Morey, what a guy he is, he only got back the second round pick, Really MMP!"

There is also some information about this year. Qin Tao is not sure that it will happen now. After all, he can come back, and maybe some things will not happen.

however.

When Morey and the rest of the coaching staff came out of the lounge one after another, their somewhat sad expressions caused a momentary silence in the locker room.

what happened? ?

Everyone's minds are full of question marks, is there really an astonishing big deal going to happen? ?
No!

totally not!

Morey and the others slowly looked towards the still open lounge. When McHale's haggard and powerless figure appeared, all the players were stunned.

"and many more!!"

Looking at the coach who criticized him a lot, Qin Tao's pupils shrank suddenly, and a sad news flashed in his mind.

follow closely.

Seeing the players' expressions, McHale gave them a hard smile, and then pulled assistant coach Sampson over and said: "In the next few days, I will temporarily leave you due to some personal matters, and the team's work will be temporarily entrusted to you." Kevin Sampson."

Yes.

Qin Tao shook his head helplessly, thinking: "It seems that McHale's daughter's illness is out of control at this point."

thereafter.

The players were somewhat emotionally unstable, but they usually heard about it, and they sent blessings to McHale one after another.

Soon.

When McHale left the locker room in a hurry, Morey encouraged him again, and the team's chief assistant Kevin Sampson gave the team another order.

Defense! !
All focus on defense!
The defensive coach who used to work with Popovich and Skiles seems to want them to knock the defense to the bone, and every word he says is not far from the word defense.

His style seems to be very characteristic.

The arrangement for the second half ended, perhaps because of McHale's incident, the locker room was less relaxing, and more rare sternness and silence.

moment.

When the team staff came to inform that the second half of the game would start in 5 minutes, the players, greeted by Harden, walked towards the court one by one.

Back to the arena.

Everyone can clearly see that the Rockets' temperament has suddenly changed a lot.

When the third quarter started, the Rockets' rare strong defense made the Heat uncomfortable and wanted to roar.

The very different tactics and defense from the first half made the Heat make frequent mistakes in this quarter.

finally.

When this quarter of the game ended, the Rockets, with their aggressive defense and the return of Harden and others, actually played a quarter of the game that could be called a burst.

33: 26!

With their performance in the second and third quarters, the Rockets not only recovered the 6 points behind in the first quarter, but even led the hot team to win the championship by two points.

Their tenacious performance and final result, without any expectations, won the applause and cheers of countless fans.

Section IV.

Kevin Sampson seems to trust Qin Tao, who is full of energy and has a very aggressive playing style. After the first 5 minutes of rotation, Qin Tao was not replaced by him, but with Harden, Jeremy Lin, Asik, Pa Sens, the ultimate lineup for the final battle.

And Qin Tao did not disappoint Sampson's trust. Whether he faced Bosh or James, who had changed positions again, he performed amazingly on both ends of the offense and defense.

finally.

When the whistle of the whole game sounded, the Rockets relied on the accumulation of the second and third quarters and the more aggressive defense in the fourth quarter. With a score of 116:113, they not only defended their home court, but also broke out a big upset. Eat up the Heat who won the championship!
the whole game.

Harden got 25 points after feeling warmer, and Parsons finally scored 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists with his active running.

also.

Jeremy Lin suffered from a minor ankle injury. Although he didn't score many points, his organization was still good.

Asik's performance is still stable, and even played a very strong game.

He made a total of 8 shots and hit 4 goals, 14 rebounds and 3 blocked shots.

Second.

When Asik fouled him again and again because the Heat couldn't limit it, he made 14 of 11 free throws and the final score was fixed at 19 points.

finally.

Although Qin Tao's offense all came from the inside, but with his impact and aggressive style of play, although his performance was mediocre when facing James, he not only got 11 rebounds for the first time in his career, but also got 2 blocked shots. Cover and 13 points!
all in all.

This big victory may have the credit of all the players, and perhaps the biggest reason is that they need a victory to send the most direct blessing to McHale who left sadly!
