Legend Raiders

Chapter 717
The straightforward dunk gave the Wizards a disarm.

Qin Tao's state can be seen at a glance, which makes the Wizards feel the pressure.

In today's league, every team knows what's going on with the Celtics.

Everyone knows that as long as Qin Tao is guarded, it is a very difficult task to achieve this.

But if you don't try, who knows what will happen next.

Easy to fight again.

John Wall received a pass from his teammate and pushed forward.

This season's Wizards, the main players are Wall and Bill.

All their tactics revolve around these two players. As long as they are in good condition, that will lay down the basic elements for them to win.

run!

The rest of the Wizards began to create space for Wall and Beal to perform to the best of their ability.

Trevor Ariza stepped up to screen for Beal and immediately split to the other side, prompting Bradley to rotate.

Simultaneously.

Trevor Booker walked to the bottom corner on the right, completely pulling Qin Tao out, creating a huge inside space for his teammates.

For this guy, Qin Tao didn't take his defense too seriously. He was still two steps away from him, and he seemed to let him go.

On the other side, Humphries was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Gortat.

Under their pull throughout the half, the space left for Wall and Bill is really not small.

coming!

Before Bill entered the league, he was not only a great pitcher, but he was also very good off the ball.

So under the threat of his running and Wall's side, it immediately put a lot of pressure on the Celtics.

They had to choose man-to-man, defensive tactics and linkage ideas, which were successfully broken by the Wizards.

Next, of course, is the performance of Wall and Bill.

Because Wall's threat was too great, Rondo chose to step up and close to prevent this guy, one of the fastest guards in the league, from rushing up.

When Wall was entangled by Rondo, an opportunity suddenly appeared on Bill's side.

pass the ball.

Wall passed the pass neatly, and Bill stepped back and took off after receiving the ball.

The moment he jumped up to make a shot, Bill knew he had it. He raised his right hand high, with a smile on his face.

really.

The basketball finally hit the net hollow, and there were cheers from a large number of fans at home.

pressure?

Qin Tao raised his eyebrows slightly.

If there is pressure in this way, what should we do in the playoffs?
The mood of the other Celtics players is basically the same. After all, this is just the beginning, and there is still more time for the game.

then.

Qin Tao is still playing for the Celtics.

But because Trevor Booker's skills were slightly rough, he couldn't stand it at all, and ended up with a foul.

However, because the Celtics still have the ball, when the Wizards organized defense again, Qin Tao took the ball and attacked again.

have to say.

Trevor Booker was sad.

The last time he paid for a foul, this time he was directly dunked by Qin Tao.

And when the Wizards launched an offense, it was Wall, the off-ball player, who, with the cover of his teammates, scored two points from a long distance again.

a time.

The players of the two teams seemed to have a very subtle tacit understanding. They gave all the balls to the core of the two teams' offense and were willing to become their accompanying runners.

However, variables will eventually come.

When the two teams reached the 8th minute of the first quarter, a substitution by Stevens changed the situation of the core confrontation on the field.

Olynyk replaced Humphries and is about to fight against the Polish Hammers.

The unexpected thing started from the first time he played.

Because it was the Celtics defending, when everyone thought he would not be able to withstand Gortat, he relied on his flexibility and long arms to keep Gortat behind him.

Such and such.

Gortat, who is considered a strong insider, was crippled because of Olynyk.

But what surprised the Wizards the most was that after Bill's shooting percentage began to decline due to physical problems, Qin Tao still bombarded indiscriminately, but he did not forget to create opportunities for his teammates.

And this opportunity is naturally Olynyk!

Because he has a medium and long distance, and his shooting rate is very good among big men, which forces Gortat to follow him.

But Olynyk's flexibility is definitely not a joke.

When Gortat missed the best defensive opportunity for Olynyk because of his slow pace, with a sudden pass from Qin Tao, Olynyk received the ball and hit a three-pointer for the Celtics.

so calm.

So decisive.

Olynyk has played his role in the team to the extreme, just like a microwave oven.

However, this is just the beginning.

Still because of his flexibility and mid-to-long distance, Gortat's defense is very difficult.

When Olynik used his speed to get another chance, Rondo made a false pass, which once again made him score a three-pointer.

Two consecutive three-pointers directly disrupted the Wizards' line.

Because of Olynyk's point, they had to consider taking substitutions to deal with it.

But who do they replace?
Although Drew Gooden is no longer at his peak, he is still a very good role player.

But the speed of his entire career has not been very fast, and he will be a good player in hand-to-hand combat inside.

So for Kevin Seraphim?

Replacing him might also be a bit of a problem.

Because Seraphim was injured in the previous period, he just came back from this game.

Although he is not the main player of the team, the team will not take a risk with a regular season.

What should I do?
The old ones have no speed, the young ones are injured and can't play, and the only way to change is Trevor Booker.

Don't say it.

The Wizards really put Trevor Booker in the center position.

Their ideas are also very simple.

Since it is doomed that no one on the team can guard against Qin Tao, it might as well just let him go.

If Qin Tao broke out, they wouldn't be able to guard against others, and this match would basically be unnecessary.

It was Drew Gooden who replaced Gortat.

Although the old man is no longer at his peak, but because of his good body and good strength, he doesn't want to be able to restrict Qin Tao, as long as he can withstand it a little.

With Trevor Booker's follow-up defense, Olynyk's side was restricted for the most part.

But Olynik was pinched at this point, but the Wizards forgot about others.

Then there's the Avery Bradley point.

Bill's defense is really not very good. After Gerald Wallace gave a screen, he gave Bradley an open shot because of the linkage problem with his teammates.

The ball arrives.

Bradley's fixed-point shooting is still very good, and he won the ball steadily, continuing the advantage brought by Olynyk.

So after the first quarter, although the Wizards had Bill as an offensive point, the performance of the others was really mediocre.

The score between the two teams was fixed at 23:18, and the Celtics won the first quarter with a five-point lead.
