Legend Raiders

Chapter 704
That night.

The Celtics' home court is very lively and has not been affected by the previous one. It seems that the fans are quite supportive.

But tonight's opponent is different, and there are reasons for being able to support so much.

In the host and guest locker room, both sides are ready to play at any time.

After a lot of cheering, they left here, stepped out of the player tunnel, and were greeted by the cheers of the fans.

For the veteran Ray Allen, through the previous buffer, he basically regained the forgiveness of the fans at the scene.

But it's hard to say, some people still yelled at the deserters at the top of their voices.

The arena is like this, you can't shut everyone up, let alone have such power.

Players from both sides were well prepared, and the main players played one after another.

Heat here.

The news that LeBron James will not play this game surprised Qin Tao and the others.

After all, this guy is an iron man among the stars, so it's somewhat confusing to suddenly come to him like this.

But this person is not young anymore, even if he plays some healthy basketball, it is still necessary.

Without James, it was Michael Beasley who replaced him.

The center asked Bosh to play, deliberately avoiding Qin Tao.

The power forward is veteran Udonis Haslem, the shooting guard is Dwyane Wade, and the point guard is Charles Mario.

The Celtics, on the other hand, did not insist on small ball tactics.

The center let Humphries play, Qin Tao is naturally the power forward, the small forward is Jeff Green, the shooting guard is Avery Bradley, and the point guard is Rajon Rondo.

It can be seen from their lineup that there is no special arrangement for James, but for Bradley to touch Wade.

Come to the middle circle.

Bosh still honestly made a gesture of invitation, which made Qin Tao speechless for a while, and he took the ball.

Rondo advanced a little faster, but with Jeff Green and the others following, there was no trouble.

Qin Tao stepped on a high position, and Haslem got close to him immediately.

Since Qin Tao's rise to the present, many people in the league know what will happen if they play against him.

But this thing is like a war, even if you know the firepower on the other side is fierce, once the general blows the charge horn, then you have to be honest and rush over desperately.

For example, Haslem now, he is thinking this way now.

But as a veteran, his defense is somewhat different.

Haslem didn't stick it completely, but blocked Qin Tao's right side, not giving him a chance to turn around suddenly.

And other people have basically started exercising, cross running and so on are very in place, and there is no feeling of weakness at all.

The Heat's defense is quite layered.

Bosh firmly controlled Humphries by his side, and Wade used his off-ball to keep looking for opportunities.

Coupled with Beasley, an attacker who must not be underestimated, Mario Chalmers keeps a close eye on Rondo, from the outside to the inside, their positions are very good.

But in terms of running, the Celtics are definitely at the top of the league.

So after abandoning the insider Humphries, the small cooperation between them immediately gave people a dazzling feeling.

This time!

Humphries suddenly pulled out, and Bosh followed subconsciously, but suddenly stopped and turned around in a hurry.

Too late.

Under Haslem's anticipatory defense, Qin Tao did not break through from the right, but suddenly turned to the left, followed by Rondo's lob.

then.

I saw Qin Tao jumping up and holding the ball under the lack of defense on the inside.

The expected dunk caused the fans on the scene to burst into cheers.

Qin Tao is still the fierce Qin Tao, he can always make people's adrenaline soar!

Easy to fight again.

The Heat's offense should be somewhat conservative.

Because without James' organization, this task came to Wade's hands.

But he didn't lead the audience like James, but waited until halftime, before he took the pass from Chalmers.

face him.

Bradley held his breath, always ready to be tough!
With such a long matchup, he has a very deep understanding of Wade's ability.

Moreover, if the defense against Wade is insufficient, I am afraid that Stevens will not give him more playing time as before.

coming!

Wade directly beckoned for a cover, and Bosh immediately stepped forward to build a wall, tightly blocking Bradley.

Humphries was not Wade's opponent at all, but in order to better limit Wade and wait for his helper, he did not choose to press forward, but retreated a little to prevent his breakthrough.

That's smart.

Wade's shooting ability close to the three-point line is not very good, his breakthrough is the most deadly!
but.

Humphries obviously underestimated the layering of the Heat.

He was about to make a move when Beasley was already in place.

The sudden cover not only made Humphries a little flustered, but even Jeff Green's rhythm slowed down a bit.

that's it.

With the help of his teammates' double screens, Wade suddenly started and went inside to kill.

Qin Tao returned to defense immediately, trying his best not to let him hit the goal.

But to be honored as "The Flash", Wade's speed is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

When he ended the dunk with a one-handed dunk, Qin Tao stopped immediately while he was taking off.

There's no point rushing, he knows what Wade can do.

Next.

In the first 5 minutes, the two sides played a confrontational battle, basically dominated by Wade and Qin Tao, and the stars of both sides showed very strong dominance.

then.

Both teams started to make substitutions.

The substitutes' performances were judged, and the Celtics were constantly in a tight spot.

By the end of this section, even though Qin Tao was still fierce, the Heat, who had already played everything, told them thoroughly what it meant to be the defending champion.

34: 22.

There is a problem with the Celtics' defense!

Under Jeff Green's defense, Beasley suddenly broke out and scored an astonishing [-] points in a single quarter!

Back off the field.

Stevens scolded Jeff Green severely, not because he didn't want to talk, but because his defense was really bad.

But in the second quarter, the Celtics' defense suddenly broke out!

The defense with Qin Tao as the core, such as a big net, firmly controlled the Heat in their hands.

With the support of his teammates, Jeff Green, after being scolded, gradually played out. Qin Tao's offense was still strong. When halftime was over, they played a very smooth section!
31: 25.

The Celtics trailed the Heat by six points 53:59, but everyone could see that they had begun to recover, and this recovery was very short-lived.

It's the second half.

As long as they can keep it up, the Heat will be in big trouble!
