Chapter 68 Fighting the Blazers Again

During lunch, Qin Tao was like a wise man, stuffing food into his mouth while giggling non-stop.

In Jeremy Lin's eyes, he really couldn't bear to look straight at him.

but.

Thinking about the origins of those three, if you were any rookie, you might be so excited that you don't know who you are.

After a meal, Qin Tao is still unable to extricate himself from his own world.

But when he followed Jeremy Lin into the training hall without hesitation, the familiar venue and atmosphere immediately gained the upper hand.

Anyway.

Even if those three could really bring Qin Tao unparalleled wealth, the most basic thing is still his strength and performance.

If because of this little surprise, Qin Tao would be able to swell, then he wouldn't have to continue messing around, and the final result would never be better.

hiss~~~
Qin Tao took a long breath and looked at the arena in front of him. Whether it was for his own dream or for the countless beautiful knives, he had to make himself stronger.

Old rules.

Qin Tao communicated with the team's trainer first, warmed up a bit and felt his body, and then completely immersed himself in his own world.

on the other side of the field.

Jeremy Lin looked at the sweating Qin Tao with a complicated expression, recalling how he was in a state of confusion before, he couldn't help but slap himself.

effort!

Only by working hard can there be a way out, otherwise the final result is to get out of the way.

Come on!

Jeremy Lin secretly encouraged himself and devoted himself to his training.

For a whole afternoon, in the huge training hall, except for their figures, the others didn't stay for long. At about the same time, they basically left completely.

Until night fell, Qin Tao and Jeremy Lin had a weary dinner, and then returned to their apartment.

The next morning.

When the two woke up one after another, they smiled at each other in the living room, and then made their own preparations for their upcoming trip to Portland.

Nine in the morning.

Qin Tao and Jeremy Lin met with their teammates directly at the Houston airport. Everyone greeted each other talking and laughing, and then boarded the plane to Portland.

Relatively speaking.

Portland's industrial atmosphere is not as strong as Houston's, but because of the preservation of some ancient things, the historical atmosphere here is very good.

Landing.

Qin Tao and the others didn't have time to appreciate everything around them, so they took the bus and went straight to the hotel where they were staying.

After placing their luggage and belongings and resting for a while, they rushed to the Rose Garden, the home of the Blazers, without stopping.

Adapt to the venue.

Accept small-scale interviews.

A short tactical exchange.

The Rockets are gradually preparing for tonight's game with a rigorous attitude.

Thereafter.

They went back to the hotel for a brief rest, had some decent dinners, and then set off for the rose garden again.

At this time.

Local Portland fans have already entered the arena one after another, and some excited fans even cheered themselves up in the square in front of the arena.

After half an hour.

When all the members of the Rockets were ready and waited quietly in the locker room, McHale made a long-distance call, which immediately cheered them up.

The content of the call is very simple.

One is to encourage them to go well in the away game, and explain the tactical elements incidentally.

The second is to tell them that Sasha's condition has improved and they don't need to be overly concerned.

have to say.

Even though McHale has suffered in life, he still treats players very well.

In order to reassure the coach, the players sent him encouragement one after another.

At last.

When the arena staff came to remind them, all members of the Rockets interacted excitedly, and then went to the player channel.

As soon as they stepped out of the passage, they heard cheers one after another in the arena.

Turn your head to look.

The fans in the stands seemed to have already cheered up, and under the mobilization of the Blazers cheerleaders and staff, their emotions were particularly excited.

5 minute later.

As the Trail Blazers played one by one, the cheers in the arena suddenly burst into loud cheers.

look at them.

Qin Tao's mood is somewhat calm. After all, this is a second battle with them, and he basically has a good understanding of their tactics and players' abilities.

Soon.

With the noisy end of the appearance ceremony, the two teams gave their main lineup one after another.

The Rockets are still the same, with center Asik, power forward Patterson, small forward Parsons, point guard Harden, and point guard Jeremy Lin.

There are no changes on the Blazers side, center JJ Hickson, power forward Aldridge, small forward Batum, point guard Matthews, and point guard Millillard.

Before the two sides are about to start, their record has become an interesting topic.

The Rockets really made a fantastic start this season, winning five of eight games, which surprised a large number of people who were not optimistic about them.

The Trail Blazers were just the opposite. After they played a good opening game and defeated the Super Big Four with Nash, Kobe, Howard and Gasol with a score of 116:106, they seemed to suddenly swell to nowhere. It was as high as expected, but after eight games, it only got a record of 3 wins and 5 losses.

At this moment.

In the case of halfway through November, there have been remarks on the Internet that Terry Stotts will be dismissed from get out of class.

but.

The Blazers management responded immediately, and they strongly supported Stotts' work.

of course.

This is just a small episode before the game, but the Blazers, who are in desperate need of a victory, will definitely play a very urgent aggressiveness in this game.

Once on the field.

The Blazers have a very clear purpose, which is to beat Lillard and Aldridge.

Batum, who has good defensive skills, and Matthews, who is strong, immediately put a lot of pressure on Parsons and Harden.

however.

The more anxious they were, the worse they behaved.

When the first quarter ended, the Trail Blazers dual-core Alder and Lillard actually played a surprising quarter.

First of all, Aldridge, in the beginning of his attack, he made 6 of 2 shots, without a free throw, and barely got 4 points.

Lillard, who pays equal attention to offense and organization, is completely surprising.

He had a very good shooting percentage in the first eight games. In the first quarter, he actually made 5 of 1 shots, scored 2 points, had no assists, and only got two rebounds by virtue of being active.

Compared with their poor performance, Batum, who has always focused most of his energy on the defensive end, is amazing.

this section.

巴图姆凭借稳定的中投，5投4中生生打出了80%的命中率，还拿到了4个篮板2次助攻和2次封盖的惊人表现。

Batum in this quarter really turned the tide. If not, I am afraid that the Blazers will not only be behind the Rockets by five points, but more points.

Look at the Rockets again.

Harden did not show his desire for offense. He only scored 3 points on 2 of 6 shots in the first quarter, but his threat on the offensive end allowed him to get 3 assists.

Patterson, who has been a bit sluggish in the past few games, also played at his level in this game, scoring the same six points on 5 of 3 shots.

other people.

Jeremy Lin didn't feel good and scored 2 points with free throws, but he had 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

Asik is still stable, relying on the advantage of the inside, scored 2 points on 2 of 3 shots, and scored [-] rebounds.

Parsons' performance should be boasted. He and Batum were brilliant for a while, Batum scored 8 points, and Parsons scored 3 points and [-] rebounds.

all in all.

The Rockets are more powerful on the offensive end, while the Blazers were influenced by Adelaide and Lillard, temporarily trailing the Rockets by five points at 22:27.
