Chapter 588 Receiving the Clippers
After killing the Knicks, the Celtics once again got two days of rest.

Their state and physical condition are well-prepared. If they want to start two back-to-backs in a row, they are also confident that they will finish it safe and sound.

12 month 11 day.

Qin Tao and the others came to the arena early to make final preparations for the evening game.

afternoon.

The Rose Garden has welcomed another guest.

The Los Angeles Clippers came from afar, carrying a record of 14 wins and 8 losses, and came to challenge the Celtics who have been black for more than a month.

A large number of reporters have been waiting in the arena early.

With the arrival of the Clippers, who were dubbed the "City of Air Pickups", they immediately greeted them with an unusually dazzling spotlight.

In today's league, if there is any team that plays very cool, then only the Clippers, there is no one at all.

With the full growth of Blake Griffin, the success of Chris Paul's contract extension, and the complete release of Jordan's ego, they are fully worthy of this title.

of course.

So much glory is definitely not just theirs.

Without low-key shooter Jared Dudley, veteran Willie Green, super sixth man Jamal Crawford, one-time All-Star Antawn Jamison
Even with the help of "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson and others, even if the Clippers play very well, they will not win such statistics right now.

and so.

There's a reason why they're popular and watched, and it's hard not to like a team as unique as this one.

And Chris Paul's performance is also very star-like.

When the Clippers started to warm up, they seemed to intend to let outsiders see their state, and fully demonstrated to the reporters present, what is the city of lobs.

after.

When they were interviewed, everyone was very confident.

Especially Blake Griffin, who seemed to be a popular niche, was overly confident in the interview and directly declared war on Qin Tao.

my God.

The local fans who watched this interview laughed out loud at the time.

It is undeniable.

Griffin's ability and talent are really strong.

But if you really want to compare with Qin Tao, then the only word is sorry.

why? ?

Because Qin Tao taught him to be a man more than once last season.

At this stage.

It's a bit interesting that Griffin actually said these words when the Celtics were in full swing.

of course.

The happiest ones are really the reporters.

What are they doing here?
Undoubtedly for all kinds of news and gimmicks.

it's good now.

They finally got such a topic, which is really flattering.

however.

When the Celtics came over to take over, the sudden scene made their eyes widen immediately.

I see.

Griffin looked like a little fan, and ran over when he saw Qin Tao.

The two hugged each other big, and even turned their heads to look at the reporters, and laughed straight away.

I rub!

These reporters knew at the time that they seemed to be played by Griffin.

As far as Griffin and Qin Tao are concerned, although they are not very good friends, it is precisely because they have played against each other a few times that they have developed a sympathy for each other.

What's more, their styles have a lot of similarities on a certain level.

If Griffin's understanding is better, his strength is stronger, his palms and wingspan are more powerful, maybe he is the second Qin Tao.

But this does not prevent them from communicating harmoniously, everything seems so comfortable.

After Qin Tao and Griffin talked about the past, he would naturally not let go of playing with Paul, Jordan Jr. and others.

Even Stephen Jackson, who has always been a bit tough, can talk and laugh with Qin Tao.

It can be seen how popular this product is.

of course.

If you want to have all of these, it is completely inseparable from your own strength.

If Qin Tao didn't have the current achievements, I'm afraid no one would be interested in a passerby.

Next.

After the Clippers left, it was the Celtics' turn.

Their performance is basically quite satisfactory, without deliberately showing anything, it can be said to be very low-key.

That night.

The Rose Garden Arena was packed.

Since the amazing performance of the Celtics, it seems that the attendance rate here has never dropped below [-]%.

After the players from both sides came out one after another, the atmosphere in the field reached a peak.

The main forces of both sides have appeared on the stage one after another, and the breath of war is about to break out.

Little Qiaodan grinned at Qin Tao, but his expression was a little stiff, as if he had no confidence.

To know.

Speaking of physical talent, Jordan dares to say that he is in the top five in the league, but no one dares to make irresponsible remarks.

But when he meets someone who dares to say the top three in the league, Jordan can't help it.

Needless to say, Qin Tao was invincible for the final possession of the ball and easily won it for the Celtics.

Avery Bradley, who returned to the point guard, signaled to his teammates as soon as he got the basketball to increase the tempo and press into the frontcourt.

The Celtics are very synergistic, and they came to the frontcourt in unison.

The Clippers' defense comes from the Celtics. After all, their current coach is the Celtics who communicated in the past.

But I don't know if it's because they are teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, or the Clippers players are a bit uncomfortable with Doc Rivers' system, the defense seems a little lax, and the linkage and communication are also lacking.

natural.

The Celtics relied on Qin Tao's strength, and Griffin tried his best to stop him.

He scored two points first, which made the fans very happy.

When it was the Clippers' turn to attack, their advantage was revealed.

Paul organizes, the others follow through.

When one after another settled down for halftime, the Clippers' performance came.

They put a lot of emphasis on running and counter-running the players.

In just a split second, Jordan and Paul made a pick-and-roll, and under Humphries' lack of preparation, they suddenly cut into the inside lane.

coming!

Jordan was like a tomahawk, receiving Paul's high-profile, and with a bang, he completed a beautiful alley-oop.

After the two finished, they clapped hands and celebrated without much emotion, as if they had become accustomed to it.

Next.

The Celtics and the Clippers made a strong cut into the offensive battle.

The Clippers took advantage of Griffin, but Paul and Jordan, as well as Dudley and the others made up for it.

The Celtics are naturally not to be outdone.

Even if Humphries can't stop Jordan and Bradley is obviously inexperienced guarding Paul, they still have Jeff Green and Gerald Wallace.

So the two teams played equally, and the first quarter ended at 22:24.

Back off the field.

Stevenson is very satisfied with Qin Tao's performance. After all, this is the first quarter, and their state is very good.

Naturally, the Clippers are not much different.

What's more, they still have the factor of Doug Rivers, and there is very little pressure on them from the outside world.
