Legend Raiders

Chapter 671

The bus carrying Paul George and the others slowly drove under the Celtics' home court.

As they got under the car one by one, the various media waiting in the distance held various instruments and snapped at them.

The Pacers this season are definitely a popular niche in the league.

Their record this season is so brilliant that they are infinitely close to occupying the top spot in the league after playing now.

But they have to ask the Spurs and Thunder in the west. It may be a bit difficult to climb these two mountains.

moment.

When the head of the Pacers, Paul George, was wearing a khaki suit and framed glasses, he appeared like a businessman, and there were screams in the media group.

This can be seen.

How eye-catching George has been this season.

All the way.

They came to the visiting team's locker room one after another. They were very satisfied with the treatment of the Celtics, and there was no "dirty mess" as expected.

After tidying up and preparing, they started the pre-match mobilization.

It was Paul George, the young guy who had become a leader on and off the court.

Speech.

The atmosphere in the locker room is very good, everyone looks high-spirited.

at the same time.

The Celtics are already in place and waiting, and everything is just waiting for tonight's game to start.

soon.

When night fell quietly, the appearance of the staff indicated that the game was about to start.

Players of the two teams left the player channel one after another, and the fans at the scene gave the home team cheers as always.

Inside the bench.

Qin Tao and his teammates clapped their hands one by one. This game was a tough one.

warm up.

Appearance ceremony.

All of this is done step by step, and the explosive music makes the adrenaline rise slightly.

The starting lineups of the two teams were also given on the big screen.

There have been some changes on the Celtic side.

It seems that he is not going to play fast with the Pacers at the beginning, but let Favillani, who has not had a chance for a long time, serve as the starting center for this game.

But it's understandable when you think about it, after all, there is "Black Yao Ming" Roy Hibbert in the Pacers team.

The power forward is naturally played by Qin Tao, and the small forward is Jeff Green who has returned to a familiar position.

Shooting guard Stevens considered before the game whether to let Gerald Wallace play.

However, judging from the roster, he finally made a decision and put Gerald Wallace on the bench so that he can partner with Phil Plessy in the backcourt of the second team.

That's right!

After watching the starting of three of them, the shooting guard is naturally Avery Bradley, and the point guard is Rajon Rondo, who has been away from starting for a long time because of injuries.

This is the first time he and Qin Tao have cooperated at the beginning of this season. This combination has brought unlimited imagination to the fans.

After all, Qin Tao himself is already very scary, plus a Rondo who can pass and attack, and can also work as a part-time inside player, just thinking about that kind of picture is wonderful.

The Pacers' roster also appeared.

The center is played by Roy Hibbert.

The power forward is veteran David West.

The small forward is naturally Paul George.

The shooting guard is Lance Stephenson, the point guard is also a veteran, and CJ Watson will play.

Their lineup has really fought a lot of tough battles this season.

But looking at the players on the Pacers' bench, it must not be accidental that they can play such an explosive record.

Near the end of February, the Pacers made a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers.

The latter sent Evan Turner to the Pacers. As for what Philadelphia got, because it didn't pay much attention, it was not very clear.

But sending out Turner can be seen as a way for the Pacers to make a profit without losing money, and Philadelphia is a bit like losing the hot potato.

this season.

Interner didn't get a better contract, so he signed a one-year, more than 600 million contract with Philadelphia.

It can be seen from this contract that one is that the 76ers have some concerns about Turner's future, and the other is that the two parties have already contacted and want to use a year to see if Turner is worth a high salary for many years.

But judging from the deal between the two teams, it is clear that Philadelphia has lost interest in Turner, so much so that he gave his expired contract directly to the Pacers.

so.

No matter what the Pacers pay for this deal, even if Turner does not perform well, after the end of this season, they will have more than 600 million salary space.

After talking about poor Turner, it is natural to talk about another well-known player on the Pacers bench.

He is the Argentine, Luis Scola, who is very familiar to Chinese players and even has a large number of fans.

After Scola was bought out by the Rockets, the Suns became his first home.

During that season, Scola was worthy of the price of his last contract. Not only was he full of attendance throughout the season, but he also averaged 13 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

His inside footsteps are still gorgeous and effective, and his offensive and defensive performance is still very good.

But because the Suns wanted to rebuild completely, Scola came to Indianapolis this summer through a deal with the Pacers after playing for one season.

of course.

With these two alone, the Pacers will never be able to play such a performance.

These few starting players this season are really fierce, and with the strength of the players on the bench, it is conceivable to have such a record.

moment.

As the main players from both sides came to the middle of the field, Qin Tao shook hands and hugged them one by one, as if he had eaten lemons.

These guys are so strong this season!

At last.

Accompanied by the referee on duty, he said a few words to both sides, and then came to the main match.

The basketball was quickly thrown into the air by him. Qin Tao, who was much shorter than Hibbert, burst into a charge with both feet like a rocket.

Easy to get.

It landed a little faster than Hibbert.

Qin Tao glanced at Favillani, and immediately yelled at the others, it seemed that he was about to play fast break!

really.

After Rajon Rondo got the ball for the first time, the experienced veteran didn't even look at his teammates, and ran towards the frontcourt with the ball.

CJ Watson obviously didn't expect it, Rondo was almost a beat and a half behind, and Mouzu chased after him with all his strength.

at the same time.

Qin Tao and the others tried their best to keep up, charging so hard that they quickly formed a triangle assault formation with Rondo!
That's right!

Driven by Qin Tao, the Pacers never expected them to be so unrestrained.

Now coming to the frontcourt, apart from CJ Watson, the Pacers only have one Paul George, and Stephenson can keep up.

But when they were about to enter the three-point line, Jeff Green and Bradley on both sides of Qin Tao suddenly ran to the flanks on both sides, directly pulling Paul George and Stephenson over.

a time.

Only Rondo, Watson, and Qin Tao, who is unguarded, are left in front.

When Qin Tao exerted his strength again and followed Rondo closely, Paul George hesitated for a moment, and immediately rushed over to defend.

But there was no time at all. Before he reached Qin Tao's side, he saw that Rondo had dropped the ball like a basketball, throwing the ball into the air while running.

Qin Tao took a step forward and soared into the sky, Watson seemed to have sensed it a long time ago, and immediately dodged away.

then.

Qin Tao grabbed the ball with both hands, and with a bang, he slammed the ball into the basket!
Amazing momentum!
