Legend Raiders

Chapter 604 After the First Quarter
Surprised!

Qin Tao looked at Durant opposite, unable to hide his emotions.

It was Durant who jumped the ball with him, not any insider of the Thunder.

But thinking about the Thunder's choice, Qin Tao quickly felt relieved and gave him a hug.

Needless to say.

Durant is the most physically gifted player on the Thunder, opting to step up at the jumper
One is to show how much the Thunder attach importance to this game, and on the other hand, it's not Durant's spirit.

After all, they are the core players of each team. If they can win the first matchup, they can gain an advantage. Regardless of other factors, just for them, this is the source of their comfort.

As the referee of the game, Joe Crawford was as rigorous as ever.

He told the two teams what they needed to pay attention to during the game, and after asking Qin Tao and Durant, he directly signaled that the kick-off was about to begin.

The two got ready and Joe Crawford tossed the ball into the air.

coming!

The strongest players of the two teams jumped up like two javelins when the basketball flew to the highest point.

have to say.

Durant's physical talent is really strong.

His jumping and explosiveness, his wingspan and timing, are all top notch!

Not to mention Qin Tao, who is one of the strongest players in the league.

For an instant.

The scene of strong collision, let countless fans into it at that time.

Especially those celebrities sitting on the sidelines, some of them even clenched their hands tightly because of nervousness, even when the game just started to serve.

pop~~
With a crisp sound, Qin Tao still pointed at the basketball.

Landing.

Qin Tao and Durant seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding suddenly, and they both rushed to the frontcourt.

moment!

The other players were immediately driven up by them, one by one like a flood, rushing towards the field.

Get seated!

After the Thunder slightly restricted the Celtics' advance speed, they began to settle one by one.

However, Qin Tao and Durant, because of their previous rush, prompted them to directly enter the confrontation.

Bang bang bang!
The two once again increased the intensity of the confrontation tacitly.

Only after serious contact did Qin Tao realize how underestimated Durant's talent was.

Everyone knows that Durant will get six to eight rebounds per game, but no one has ever imagined what it would be like for this seven-footer to really play inside.

Now Qin Tao can tell them that Durant's performance is so good that he is so good that he is more threatening than ordinary first-class insiders.

why?
If Durant's strength is [-]% stronger, then it is entirely possible for him to withstand Qin Tao by one or two.

pity.

A player who plays outside, even if he has an excellent inside talent, it is impossible for them to give up an easier and better way to show their value to fight with others.

So is Durant.

If it weren't for the result of him and Qin Tao running wildly, it would be absolutely impossible for him to enter the inside and fight with others.

and so.

When Qin Tao turned on the back-up mode, his astonishing strength and momentum after suppression would naturally allow him to easily score points.

"Man!" Durant shrugged helplessly: "If you choose to play outside, I think no one in this league can restrict you!"

Qin Tao bared his teeth and smiled: "Hurry up!"

hmmmm? ?
His answer instantly made Durant, who was about to turn around, look confused.

What do you mean?
I just sigh with emotion, do you still take it seriously?
Qin Tao smiled again, turned around and ran out.

Are you kidding me?

Durant buried his head and followed unsurely.

But if he knew that Qin Tao was not joking at all, but answered very seriously, I don't know how he would feel in the end.

Easy to fight again.

Reggie Jackson is Westbrook's temporary successor, and his impact is obviously not as strong as the latter.

of course.

This thing has its own style, character and physical gifts.

If he has the talent and physical fitness of Westbrook, I am afraid that his playing style will be even more explosive than Westbrook.

Others seemed to have already adapted to a slightly slower pace, and after arriving in the frontcourt one after another, the ball appeared in Durant's hands.

Make sense.

Although Jeff Green is also a high-ranking pick, compared with Durant, the two are really a hill behind.

Especially his defense.

It looks very positive, but it turns out to be very rough after all.

But Durant is different.

Because he was given the unparalleled right to fire by the Thunder when he entered the league, the speed of the team's development and the realization of his talent is naturally not comparable to them.

and so.

When Durant relied on his own advantages to easily complete the breakthrough, he did not choose to go inside, but relied on his steady mid-range to easily score two points.

The performance of the two teams after the opening immediately aroused the excitement and anticipation of the fans at the scene.

No one likes a dull game, as long as they can continue, the fans will give them the greatest support while the trip is worthwhile.

The Celtics didn't seem to want to attack them so quickly, but slowed down and started playing their team basketball.

As the only core of the team, Qin Tao was pulled to a high position, using his threat and ability, to enter the role arranged by Stevenson and act as a high-level support.

Don't say it.

With his support, the Celtics' tactics have become very layered.

What's more, without his possession of the inside line, other people want to make air cuts, reverse runs, etc., and they will be much more comfortable.

and so.

When the Celtics got an offensive opportunity by virtue of their own running and the cooperation of small tactics, Gerald Wallace and Jeff Green crossed and ran, and a lob from Qin Tao made Hua Lace completed a powerful dunk.

In the next game, the Celtics fully demonstrated their teamwork side, and the Thunder, under the leadership of Durant, played inextricably with them.

By the end of the first quarter, the Thunder, who were firmly at the top of the league record, did not show their strength.

And the Celtics, who had just returned because of their losing streak, naturally showed no signs of sudden death again.

The two teams scored 26:25 in the first quarter, with only one point difference.

Back off the field.

Not to mention the Thunder team, the Celtics side, but there are players shouting happily.

Combined with their previous performance, these two words are the truest portrayal of them.

No one responded to this game with a sluggish mood, let alone the slack in the previous two games, or even the feeling of breaking the can.

all in all.

Through this quarter of the game, the mentality of the Celtics players has already begun to change qualitatively. As long as they can learn from this lesson, they will be able to deal with it more easily if they meet again next time!
