Legend Raiders

Chapter 605

The second quarter begins.

Both the Celtics and Thunder played very cautiously.

Especially for the Thunder team, they seem to be very concerned about this game, and there are four main players when they play.

Only Steven Adams replaced Perkins, who was obviously lacking in physical strength.

But the Celtics are exaggerating. Humphries replaced Favillani, Brandon Bass was at the power forward, Qin Tao appeared at the small forward, and Bradley was still at the back. Deli and Gerald Wallace both.

so arranged.

The fans in Oklahoma were stunned. Of course, the Thunder needless to say, especially Durant was the most surprised!
This is the core against the core!

But is it really good to do this?

After all, Qin Tao is at least an inside player, and Durant is a serious small forward!
But the Celtics players didn't seem to be surprised, and even Stevenson's coaching staff didn't have much opinion.

What the hell?

Durant looked at Qin Tao with a puzzled expression, completely confused about what kind of operation this was.

Qin Tao returned a smile without any explanation at all.

Game start.

Reggie Jackson drove the ball upfield, and the others quickly followed.

This guy came to the frontcourt, he seemed very curious about how Qin Tao would defend Durant, and directly gave the ball to Zhenhe.

take the ball.

Durant didn't mean to make any big claims. He directly put on three threats and faced Qin Tao's defense cautiously.

As a defender, and a defender who is well aware of Durant's threat, Qin Tao was very active, and immediately took a step forward, not giving him more room to break through.

Reach out!

Qin Tao's big hand directly blocked Durant's sight, and his left arm tried to expand the defensive range as much as possible.

I don't know if it happened suddenly, but Durant actually felt threatened by Si Siwei, and it didn't seem like he was facing an inside player at all.

But as a top player, Durant will not be too worried because of this factor.

Moved!

The long arm protects the ball, and the left foot sticks out.

Durant began to test.

Qin Tao's center of gravity swayed with Durant, looking very focused.

Their matchup instantly attracted everyone's attention.

No one did not look forward to the final result of the collision between them, and even the local fans magically expected that Qin Tao would be able to withstand Durant's defense.

boom!
The first physical contact between the two occurred this round.

Qin Tao is as stable as Mount Tai, and there is no sign of losing his position.

Durant felt the oppression from Qin Tao, and immediately took a fake action, preparing to find an opportunity to complete a breakthrough.

have to say.

In the case of being seven feet tall, Durant can perform these movements smoothly, which is absolutely unbelievable for tall people.

and.

His fake movements were so realistic that under the control of frequency and rhythm, Qin Tao immediately felt tremendous pressure.

gap!

These two words suddenly appeared in Qin Tao's mind.

Only when he really faces top outside players will he know how far he is.

sideways.

back.

shake shoulders.

Tentative step!
Durant used all the skills he had mastered, as if facing a top defender.

And under his attack, he finally got a very good harvest.

Qin Tao couldn't keep up!

Even though his footsteps are fast and his reaction speed has reached top-notch, what he is facing is not an ordinary outside line, but a real superstar.

Out of place!

Under Durant's attack, Qin Tao suddenly lost his position.

And at the moment when Durant broke through with the ball, Qin Tao's first reaction was to reach out for a hand!
But his rationality told him that it was not good to do so.

After all, there are still two teammates on the inside, even if they can't help defend immediately, it is still a kind of help.

However, Durant didn't go inside at all, but was attracting Humphries to raise him. Qin Tao didn't dare to make too much of a move to follow, and a sudden emergency stop was a surefire two points.

His offense is very, very smart.

If he chooses to go inside, then Adams will get a chance.

If he wants to win a foul, he can definitely get the desired result by jumping suddenly under Qin Tao's immediate follow-up.

However, Durant played with a real atmosphere, and did not choose the second option, and scored two points cleanly.

Looking at Durant's figure, Qin Tao couldn't help examining himself.

He admits.

I was a little too inflated, and actually asked Stevenson to let him try this position.

And when facing a perimeter player of Durant's level, he realized that his future still has a long way to go, and there are too many aspects that need to be improved.

At least his defense of outside players is not as simple as imagined.

change!
effort!

Qin Tao secretly set a goal for himself, signaled his mistakes to his teammates, and ran forward with his head buried.

And although Qin Tao's performance did not bring surprises in this ball, no one can deny that he has done a very good job.

at this time.

When it was the Celtics' turn to attack, there were some voices supporting Qin Tao from the scene.

unconsciously.

Qin Tao seems to have recruited some fans here, but if he can't hit this goal, I'm afraid these few fans will have to leave him.

How to do it?
Qin Tao came to the high position and immediately started the task of supporting the high position.

Honestly.

His skill at protecting the ball is really good, and he didn't make mistakes under Durant's defense.

and.

Under his combined inside defense skills, Durant wanted to achieve some goals, and it was not as easy as imagined.

And as the Celtics started the team mode, there seemed to be a very mysterious tacit understanding between them. Others actually pulled the outside line one after another, and handed more space inside to Qin Tao.

resignedly.

Qin Tao laughed at himself. Although he really wanted to play as a small forward and give Durant a response, he didn't have much confidence. He could only gradually go deep inside and use his own advantages to do so.

There are really few people who can restrict Qin Tao well in the three-acre area in the interior.

When he turned on the flat push mode, Durant could only rest.

2: 2.
The back and forth between the core of the two teams made the fans in the stands very happy.

Even though this is their real first offensive and defensive round, under the established arrangement, there will definitely be no less rivalry between them.

Next.

The game in the second quarter was as expected by the fans.

Even though Qin Tao couldn't restrain Durant very well, he was still very strong on the offensive end. The two once started the mutual explosion mode.

But the others were not decorations after all, and during their mutual explosion, the other players of the two teams were not idle.

It's just that Adams' performance is somewhat unsatisfactory, and he doesn't have the vigorous appearance of "Sea King" a few years later.

The inside line of the Celtics has some advantages.

Both Humphries and Brandon Bass completed their tasks very well. After the end of the second quarter, each of them scored 6 points and 4 rebounds.

The Thunder's inside line is slightly worse, but their outside line is very good.

Reggie Jackson was a jumper, but he shot very well.

So when the halftime game ended, the Thunder still had an overall advantage. With a score of 23:19, they ended the second quarter and expanded their lead again.
