Legend Raiders

Chapter 690 The Winning Streak Ends
Paul George and Lance Stephenson, who were following Jeff Green, went after them with all their strength when they suddenly rushed to the inside.

The game has just begun, and they know what these two want to do.

really!

With Bradley's shot missed, Jeff Green and Gerald Wallace, who were two or three steps ahead of Paul George, rushed to the bottom of the basketball very forcefully regardless of the presence of Hibbert on the inside. point.

Simultaneously.

After Qin Tao built the wall for Bradley, he kept walking, just like the two of them, and ran over with amazing impact.

then!

Even if it was Rondo after the rotation who was competing with Hibbert, he still failed to get a rebound under the impact of so many Celtics.

After watching Jeff Green accept the rebound, Paul George yelled, and the Pacers quickly ran to the backcourt.

Their first task in this game seems to be to return to defense in the shortest time.

Don't say it.

When the Celtics were all over the border, the Pacers had already laid out their chariots and horses to deal with their attack.

Qin Tao frowned slightly. The small-ball tactics were all about maneuvering and flexibility, but now because of their early positioning, they couldn't play the effect temporarily.

But the game has just begun, and there is still plenty of time to adjust.

Next.

The Celtics seem to be in complete control of the offense on the field.

The Pacers, as always, implement the strategy of returning to defense quickly.

Although the Pacers' shooting rate is not high, but because of their quick return to defense, it is the Celtics' offensive efficiency that has some problems.

So at the end of the first quarter, the Celtics were under control of the offense, but the score was not high, only [-] points.

The Pacers relied on Paul George to score No. 3 points for the home team in the last 17 minutes of this quarter.

The contest between the two teams in the first quarter suppressed the score very low.

If this continues, the final result may be unfavorable to the Celtics.

Because when they controlled the offense, they failed to widen the point difference and failed to control the score above [-] points. Then when the Pacers find their rhythm and find their way to deal with it, does it mean that Are they the ones who come first?
Back off the field.

Qin Tao pondered over this question.

As the team's coach, Stevens also discovered these problems.

Give up the ball for now!

Stevens decided to use what the Pacers do best, to disrupt their rhythm in the opposite direction.

Section two.

Jordan Crawford was paired with Phil Plessy in the backcourt as the Celtics brought in Humphries and Brandon Bass.
Sure enough, there were some rhythm problems on the Pacers side.

They are very determined to return to the defense quickly, and it seems that they are just wasting their energy.

Because the Celtics suddenly set up a position, the movements of all players consciously slowed down a lot.

Frank Vogel raised his eyebrows, not expecting Stevens to react so quickly.

how to spell?
Vogel looked at the players' box.

In the first quarter of the game, because David West was entangled very tightly by Jeff Green, it can be said that apart from some blue-collar things, he did not show the role that a star should have.

at this time.

Judging from the perception, there is no problem with his physical strength, so it can be said that he can continue to fight.

Vogel made a decision, and asked for a timeout when the team took the ball to the frontcourt.

By the time the Pacers returned to the court again, their lineup had changed.

Because not only did David West play, but his partner was not Hibbert or Mahinmi, but Luis Scola, who had played for the Rockets.

However, Stevens did not change players, but still used the same set just now.

The reduction in the height of the Pacers' inside line has made them have a lot of changes.

Both Scola and West have elite mid-range, making Humphries and Brandon Bass some defensive problems along the way.

Especially Bass.

He was genuinely confused about West's defense.

Obviously knowing that this guy is very good at mid-range, but he always gives the opponent a step.

When Stevens found out that something was wrong and was about to change personnel, West scored eight points in just 4 minutes.

This was obtained in 4 minutes!
Substitution Substitution!

The Celtics replaced their main force in a large area.

The Pacers have a feeling of sitting on the Diaoyutai, except for the return of Paul George, Stephenson and George Hill, Scola and West are still playing inside.

Who is Qin Tao defending against?

According to the matchup on the field, Scola is his goal.

But because West's hand is hot, he has to choose this target.

however.

What Qin Tao, Stevens, and even the Celtic players on the field did not expect was that
Qin Tao guarded against David West, but because Jeff Green somewhat underestimated Scola, the latter suddenly exploded in series!
Scola, who didn't take many shots in this quarter, actually scored six points in Jeff Green's defense with the support of his teammates.

And these six points are all mid-range, and there is no inside score at all.

This guy is indeed a player like a microwave oven. As long as he is given any chance, he can often be won steadily.

In trouble!
Qin Tao frowned. He didn't expect the Pacers' breakthrough point to be David West and Luis Scola.

And Stevens off the court immediately called a timeout.

He didn't want to wait until these two were fully played before choosing a belated timeout.

Back off the field.

Stevens made some emphasis and arrangements for the players in response to the problems of the previous team.

When they returned to the field again, it was time for Qin Tao to break the game.

If they don't take advantage of this and ignore his core, then after the game is over, losing in the end will be their only result.

Next.

Until the end of the second quarter, Qin Tao's continuous outbursts barely stabilized the situation.

But because West and Scola got too many opportunities before, this prompted the Celtics to score 26 points after halftime, but the Pacers scored [-] points, which in turn led them by [-] points .

in the locker room.

Qin Tao communicated with his teammates immediately, and began to analyze and arrange the situation in the first half.

Stevens didn't bother, but got to work with his team in the second half.

soon.

When they returned to the court, only 4 minutes into the third quarter, it seemed that the Pacers had opened up the situation to control everything!
Because they are no longer set in stone.

The insider Hibbert finally ushered in his explosion when Qin Tao was marking the fiery West.

Whether it is Humphries or Favillani, they simply cannot withstand Hibbert's attack!

When Qin Tao changed positions to defend, West broke out at the same time, he did not forget his little brother, and kept creating opportunities for Paul George.

all of a sudden!

When the third quarter ended, the Celtics were directly beaten by the Pacers!
After Qin Tao and the others adjusted off the court, the fourth quarter of the game completely collapsed!

Because the current Pacers have fully bloomed, whether it is Hibbert and West on the inside, or Paul George on the outside and Stephenson, the neurotic player, they are really close to hitting the shots!
So at the end of the game, when the Pacers defeated the Celtics 102:88, Qin Tao and the others were still dizzy.

It can be seen how well the Pacers have prepared for this battle of revenge!
