Legend Raiders

Chapter 577 Take Down the Rocket
Unlike McHale's discomfort, Stevenson was eating fruit and drinking a drink happily.

Needless to say, Qin Tao and the others were in a state of talking and laughing, tired and happy.

That's right.

Under their seemingly ferocious offense and defense, they are not as relaxed as they appear on the outside.

It was a real fight on the field, and the physical strength had already been exhausted.

But as I said before, most of them are young people, and they can basically recover to about [-]% after just a half-time break.

This is one of the greatest advantages of young people.

Soon.

When the staff reminded them with a slightly stiff expression that the second half of the game will start in 10 minutes, Stevenson ended his little life and entered the locker room leisurely.

"The second half." Stevenson said in a very positive tone: "The Rockets are bound to launch a series of counterattacks!"

"Especially James Harden, he is bound to get unlimited firepower in order to break through the situation at hand."

"Also. Although Howard has a big problem with his mentality, as a superstar, I think he will return to calmness in the second half!"

Paused.

Stevenson withdrew his serious expression, turned to smile and said: "Their counterattack may be very violent, but I believe that as long as we can continue to exert pressure, their counterattack will gradually disintegrate!"

To say is to say nothing.

Qin Tao directly rolled his eyes back at him, probably even a child would know about this situation.

After all, the Rockets had been forced to a certain extent in the first half, and unless it was the last quarter of the second half, no professional player would bow down.

soon.

When the players from both sides returned to the court, the Rockets really started a fierce counterattack.

Just like what Stevenson and Qin Tao thought, McHale finally gave Harden unlimited firepower.

But when Harden kept trying to adjust and find his own shot feeling, Howard surprised Qin Tao and the others.

According to his personality, he is bound to have emotional changes because of Harden's possession of the ball, but after Harden actually did this, he behaved very calmly and directly positioned himself as a super blue-collar.

Don't say it.

After Howard gave up the ball and took the initiative to attack, with his defense and rebounds, the Rockets really chased the score back a little bit after Harden gradually recovered his touch.

After the third quarter, the point difference between the Rockets and the Celtics was further reduced to [-] points.

As long as they continue to play like this in the fourth quarter, I am afraid that with the ability of NBA players, recovery will not be impossible.

The game is finally getting interesting.

The pressure also appeared on the Celtics.

Because if they can't withstand the impact of the Rockets, I'm afraid what awaits them is to be forced to enter the decisive stage.

Once that time comes, the Celtics' disadvantages will come to the fore.

The first is the experience and mentality of young players.

If they develop any of the above problems, then what awaits them is one mistake after another, and a huge change in mentality.

Simply they also have Stevenson and Qin Tao, Jeff Green and the others who have played for four or five years, so they are naturally not beginners who don't know anything.

With their joint efforts, after the start of the fourth quarter, they were very tenacious and kept blocking the Rockets' impact.

As the game between the two teams entered within 7 minutes, the Celtics' resilience finally paid off.

Fatigue gradually invaded the Rockets players. Harden and the others, who had hardly rested in the audience, finally had physical problems.

The next game is much easier.

Because the Celtics players are younger, more aggressive, and have better endurance and physical strength, after entering the final 2 minutes, it is almost garbage time.

No matter how difficult it is for the Rockets to launch effective offense and defense, they can only watch the Celtics take away the victory from their home court in the end!

and!

Because of their physical problems, the point difference in the final loss was not too small. With a score of 98:114, they lost this game sadly.

after the game.

Qin Tao sent blessings to his old club, and even praised the growth rate and hard work of the Rockets players.

But everyone knew that he was just saying politely. After all, they won, so it wasn't weird to say anything.

McHale and Harden, who also participated, had stiff expressions throughout.

Even though they also gave Qin Tao blessings, everyone knew that they were just doing business.

By the time Qin Tao and the others returned to the hotel, it was midnight.

In view of the many away trips, Zarya and the others were also very busy, and basically didn't chat with them about family matters. Qin Tao hesitated for a while, and then called them.

But the phone was connected, but no one answered.

Nothing.

Qin Tao could only sleep with a wry smile.

The next morning.

Qin Tao woke up early.

Because the next game is two days away, he decided to feel the breath of Houston again.

Sports set.

hood.

Qin Tao left the hotel very low-key, and started jogging familiarly along the sidewalk on the side of the street.

After some sightseeing, Qin Tao really felt that it was possible.

unconsciously.

It has been more than a year since he came to this era.

Thinking about all the things after his rebirth, he couldn't help but feel the generosity of God.

Back to the hotel.

Stevenson and the others have already stood up.

After greeting them, Qin Tao packed up and went to have breakfast with them.

For a professional player, every meal counts.

Even if you don't eat much, you must keep up with your nutrition.

After breakfast, Qin Tao and the others packed up their things and rushed to the Houston airport by bus.

period.

They got the middle finger from passing fans and it wasn't until they got on the plane that they got out of that horrible situation.

After a not-so-short flight, they returned to Boston.

Since there was no competition until one day later, they made an appointment to come back, and drove home one after another.

Before the start of the new season, Qin Tao also got his driver's license miraculously.

At the moment, he was driving a "cheap" Mustang Shelby, heading for his temporary residence without haste.

As for the house, because Zarya is busy with his business cooperation and the potential business cooperation between Antetokounmpo and Rudy Gobert, a suitable house has not been found yet.

However, given the long-term cooperation between Qin Tao and the Celtics, buying a house is only a matter of time.

When Qin Tao returned to his temporary residence, the empty situation made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Simply taking care of flowers and plants is also quite good.

Mr. Beast on the field, whistling joyfully, turned into a lawn gardener and began pruning seriously.
