Legend Raiders

Chapter 633

Beat the Raptors.

It made the Celtics really shine.

The articles written by the media and experts from all walks of life are simply not too cool in their eyes.

But after the highlight, someone among them must stand up and suppress their arrogant emotions.

To know.

It's just the regular season.

In the history of the NBA, not one or two teams that played well in the regular season and even set a season record entered the playoffs.

Simply put, Stevens and Qin Tao are still reasonable, coupled with the intervention of the team's management and the performance of the team's veterans, these emotions gradually calmed down.

But when they went to Los Angeles on January 1 to challenge the Lakers without Howard, without Kobe, and only led by Jiasao, they overturned at the last moment.

full game.

Gasol's state can be called against the sky.

He played for 10 minutes, and after [-] shots, he scored a whopping nine hits.

Coupled with his protection of rebounds, he scored 24 points and [-] rebounds alone in this game.

So bright.

Why didn't Qin Tao confront him head-on?

All because of.

Before the game was about to start, Qin Tao suddenly felt some soreness in his calf.

In order to protect him, Stevens immediately called the team doctor, and immediately notified the team of Qin Tao's condition.

some inspection.

Qin Tao's calf is basically fine.

That kind of soreness is just the body's stress response, and it's all because of the hard work in the recent period of battle.

A false alarm.

But Stevens insisted not to let Qin Tao play.

As for the Celtics without Qin Tao, the loss is really not ordinary.

The first is their control of the inside.

If Qin Tao can play, Gasol is bound to not play such a result.

But other people who already liked team basketball did not perform too badly.

They didn't lose the game with a three-pointer until the end of the fight with the Lakers.

The remarks after the game also mean the same thing.

After all, besides Qin Tao, the Celtics really don't have a star who can make a move.

They were able to play such a game in Los Angeles, which can be said to have done their best.

After losing to the Lakers, he took a day off, returned to the East, and went to Orlando to challenge the Magic!

Regarding this game, when the Celtics decided to rest Qin Tao after careful discussion, they also received a very good news.

After a long time, Rajon Rondo finally paid in this game!

So at the beginning of the game, in order to respect this meritorious player, Stevens still gave him the starting status even though he had made arrangements for playing 10 minutes before the game.

Once on the field.

Rondo showed a very good state.

But he just recovered from a serious injury, so naturally he won't work too hard, so apart from the organization, he basically has no chance to become a center forward.

Such and such.

In the game without Qin Tao, the Celtics, under Rondo's organization in the first quarter, played against the strong Magic, basically evenly matched, and no one could do anything about it.

But in the second quarter, with Rondo resting, the Magic's touch suddenly came.

In this quarter alone, because of Gerald Wallace's physical problems, the power boy Victor Oladipo scored 9 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

还有托比亚斯·哈里斯的4投3中和3罚2中，贾米尔·尼尔森的6分2助攻和3篮板
Coupled with the contributions of Aaron Afflalo and big baby Glen Davis, the Magic actually scored 35 points in the second quarter.

Such an astonishing score directly made Qin Tao, who was sitting off the court, frown.

The defense that the Celtics rely on for their lives is like tofu in this quarter. It has no effect at all. On the contrary, the Magic, which is not good at offense, scored such a high score.

But after they returned to the court, Stevens and Qin Tao didn't say anything, but tried to appease them as much as possible.

Such a poor state, they know why better than anyone else.

After playing a tough game, I am afraid that even hard-working people will not be able to bear it.

but.

The energy of youth is truly astonishing.

After the start of the second half of the game, the Celtics suddenly broke out in defense, which can be called the level of destruction!

Because under their defense, the Magic only scored a pitiful 13 points for a whole quarter!
of course.

Although the Celtics' score is only 18 points, it is already amazing to be able to focus entirely on the defensive end and play such a dominant statistic!

So in the fourth quarter, the Celtics' defense became stronger and stronger. For a full 5 minutes, they kept the Magic scoreless!
And they were [-] points behind the Magic, but with their hard work, they recovered to only [-] points.

Is it necessary to hit a goal to determine the outcome? ?
Qin Tao, who was sitting off the court, felt a headache every time he thought of that scene.

No one wants to play that kind of game.

At that point, it's not just your technical problems, but your psychological quality and resilience are more important.

however.

The last thing he and the Celtics players wanted to happen happened in the last 2 minutes.

Brandon Bass slammed the ball into the basket under Rondo's wonderful pass, finally tying the score between the two teams.

When the two sides entered the last 30 seconds, Jamil Nelson, a veteran of the Magic, broke out with a big heart. With the middle distance in the last three seconds, he gave the whole game the final word!
Two consecutive defeats!
After the Celtics defeated the tyrants in the east and west in a row, they suffered a two-game losing streak.

But no one said that they were not as capable, let alone made irresponsible remarks about them.

Because everyone was watching these two games, the Celtics players lost only one or two goals under the circumstances of huge physical exertion.

However, after they managed to get a day's rest, they had to fly to Miami, which is also in the Eastern Division, to compete with the Heat at their home court.

this match.

Qin Tao, who had rested for two full games, returned to the game with full energy.

His return seems to have an inexplicable meaning, as if this team has their pillars and team spirit, and the players who seemed a little tired before the start of the game are miraculously refreshed before the start of the game.

That's how it is sometimes.

This situation is like a family. There are grandparents, fathers and mothers in the family, and naturally there are sons and daughters of the younger generation, or grandchildren.

With the support of grandparents and parents, the little ones will definitely jump up and down.

But once there is no support from the elders, I will take advantage of it when playing with the children.

so.

The role of the core is not only the team's biggest reliance, but also the expectations of other players. With his return, the heart can be settled.
