Legend Raiders

Chapter 699
Trouble.

Rick Carlisle on the sidelines couldn't help but frown.

He didn't expect the Celtics to get out of the bad situation so quickly, and he didn't expect Qin Tao to show such a strong side in the first ball.

Regardless of the fact that it is just the first ball of the game, Rick Carlisle knows a truth.

The state of the Celtics was completely controlled by Qin Tao.

As long as his condition is good, the condition of others will inevitably be brought up.

It's not that he is arrogant.

Because after studying Qin Tao himself, he felt a little powerless.

It's really rare to have this thing on him!

of course.

This is what I thought as a person at the time.

After all, basketball is for five people, so there are still ways to think about it.

then.

Rick Carlisle's concerns ensued.

With the confidence brought by Qin Tao's dunks, the Celtics' defense is very desperate.

It felt like he wanted to completely vent his previous displeasure, and directly played this round of defense as the last goal of the game.

The Mavericks were underprepared and immediately made low-level mistakes.

Veteran Jose Calderon actually stood in the corner of the midfield holding the ball. Under the sudden double-teaming of Rondo and Bradley, the ball did not pass out.

Simply in an emergency, he smashed the basketball on Rondo, otherwise the ball would belong to the Celtics!
Once the Celtics take advantage of the situation to fight again, they will be in a very passive situation for at least the next 5 minutes.

serve.

Calderon was obviously ready, he kept exercising, and his teammates also started running.

And as the situation on the field was stabilized by them, the Celtics also entered the regular defense.

Well known.

Dirk Nowitzki is not a simple scorer, his support is also a brush.

But the most important thing is that he really can't get inside, Qin Tao is always by his side.

And there is only Dalembert on the inside. It is basically impossible for the Mavericks to break through from here.

Because Dalembert, like most blue-collar centers in the early 21st century, has a very good defense, but his ability to attack independently is really bad.

Such and such.

The Mavericks must attack from the perimeter.

But with Qin Tao's dunk, and the fact that the Mavericks' defense was almost violated before, the Mavericks who suppressed them were very embarrassed.

Shaun Marion is actually a good off-ball player, but his range of movement is really limited with Gerald Wallace defending him.

Nothing.

The Mavericks were completely unable to break through the Celtics' defense, and in the end, with three seconds left, Calderon, who was holding the ball, made a hasty shot against Rondo's defense.

Needless to say the final result.

Although Dalembert's rebounds are good, his disadvantage is that his state and age really don't allow him to take advantage of Humphries.

Besides, the ball was somewhat hasty, and Humphries was still behind him.

After the basketball is shot, the rebound will naturally belong to Humphries.

have to say.

Humphries was able to play quasi-star data before, so there are really two brushes.

The moment he took off the rebound, he yelled "fast break" at the frontcourt!
The basketball was thrown out by him with the sound, Rondo started quickly, grabbed it and rushed forward!
Since Calderon entered the league, he has not been a defender known for his speed and explosiveness.

Now under Rondo's wild running, he is chasing very hard, and he can't keep up at all.

that's it.

When Qin Tao and the others had just rushed to the center line, Rondo had already scored an easy layup in the penalty area.

pause pause!

Even if the game started less than 2 minutes ago, Rick Carlisle immediately called a timeout.

Standing off the court, he fully saw the state of the Celtics.

He believes!
If he doesn't call this timeout, then what awaits them is the continuous impact of the Celtics!

Back off the field.

Rick Carlisle immediately made arrangements for the previous situation.

He wanted to try his best to limit Qin Tao's performance.

As long as Qin Tao's core point is restricted, even if others explode something, they will quickly counter it!
With this decision.

Dalembert naturally couldn't stay on the field.

Because Qin Tao's mobility is very strong, and his passing awareness is also very good.

If he continues to be placed on the court who is too slow, there will be some disconnection when double-teaming.

and so!
Carlisle was really bold, and actually replaced the former Spurs player, DeJuan Blair, who was only signed in the summer, on the court.

A center forward of 201 cm is really super bold at this time.

However, Blair was able to get their favor, which is naturally due to his tonnage, defense, and fearless attitude.

When he was about to play, Carlisle took Blair to explain something in particular.

As for the Celtics, who played high-spirited just now, their lineup also changed suddenly.

Qin Tao actually returned to the center position, and Jeff Green finally topped the power forward.

The other players remained unchanged, and this lineup immediately made Carlisle's eyes widen.

He is very familiar with this lineup!

The Celtics can achieve such a record this season, one is the huge influence brought by Qin Tao, and the other is their scary small ball lineup.

Among their team, the tallest are Qin Tao and Jeff Green.

But Qin Tao can still be said to be an inside player, but Jeff Green is definitely a pure small forward.

Thus.

DeJuan Blair will be crippled in an instant. Dirk Nowitzki can score a lot easier under Jeff Green's defense, but he must be a huge loophole on the defensive end.

Because he is not a defensive player himself, and his footsteps are the slow ones among inside players.

nowadays.

The Celtics suddenly came up with such a trick, not to mention Carlisle was surprised, even Dirk Nowitzki and the home fans in the stands felt a deep suffocation right now!

why? ?

Because as long as you are a fan who pays attention to the NBA, you know what the Celtics will play with this lineup!
As long as they play the offense and defense like they did in the middle of the season, the Mavericks' current lineup, regardless of the final result, will just be pressed to the ground and rubbed hard when they switch offense and defense and rotate positions!
Just because their age and speed do not allow them to run wild with the Celtics!

And as soon as the game started, the last thing they wanted to see happened!
The Mavericks first scored two points with Nowitzki, but in the next offense and defense, the Celtics were like a pack of wild wolves, all of them howling for whatever they wanted!
