Legend Raiders

Chapter 762 Lukai VS Pacers

May [-]th.

As the second round of the series is about to start, the Pacers' home court has received a lot of attention.

But the most surprising thing is that a large number of fans wearing green jerseys, as well as local media from Boston, became a highlight on and off the field.

It seems that Celtic fans and the media are very concerned about this game, but considering the situation of the two teams, it is only natural to get attention.

Especially the Celtics.

They were the first team in the league to end a first-round series with a sweep.

No matter what happened during the period, the final result showed their strength.

The Pacers have been somewhat disappointing this year.

To know.

They are the top powerhouses in the Eastern Conference, and they are the new force to fight against the Heat.

But judging from the first round of the playoffs, they are really surprising.

of course.

Bobcats headwind rise, but also the key.

But the impression left to outsiders is that the Pacers are not as "powerful" as the Celtics.

soon.

Fans holding tickets began to enter the stadium one after another.

The deafening and explosive music sounded in the stadium, and the pre-match warm-up had already begun.

In the locker rooms of the two teams, the Pacers looked a little strict, while the Celtics looked very relaxed.

But the ease of the Celtics is relatively speaking. After all, they have rested for too long. Whether they can regain their state is a question mark.

However, as the star of the team, Qin Tao has full confidence in his teammates.

Because after they swept the Wizards and started to rest, they not only had to watch every playoff game, but also entered the training hall after the end, and made some targeted training and personnel adjustments.

this match.

Stevens and Qin Tao have a secret arrangement, which can be seen after the game starts.

And at this stage of preparation before the game, Stevens was also very smart not to arrange too much work, just let them think for themselves, and think about what they need to do after the game starts.

And when the game between the Celtics and the Pacers is over, the Spurs and Trail Blazers in the West will have their first game of the second round.

soon.

Players from the two teams began to gather in the player tunnel. They all had a small ceremony between players, and then entered the arena one after another.

The cheers soaring into the sky were like dropping a heavy bomb here, making people's ears buzzing.

But looking at the looks of those fans, I really enjoyed the atmosphere.

As the players from the two teams entered the bench, the hustle and bustle quieted down a little bit.

"Guys, this game is just a regular game for us, you don't need to bear too much pressure at all!"

Stevens said with a smile on his face: "Besides, our mission this season has been perfectly completed, so what if we lose?"

Qin Tao looked at him dumbfounded, looked at his teammates, and said, "Don't listen to him being silly, it's best to win."

Hahahaha!

A group of guys laughed, which shows that they are all in a good state of mind.

But there was some pressure on the Pacers side, and their expressions looked a little stern.

Thinking about the previous series, they're understandable that way.

In addition, the Celtics are not an easy opponent to deal with, and it is very normal to be under pressure.

at last.

With the beginning of the pre-match warm-up and the subsequent appearance ceremony, the atmosphere in the venue was pushed to a very high level.

moment.

When the referee signaled to the two teams that the main players were about to appear on the field, there was another burst of noise in the stadium.

As the guest commentators for this game, Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith, who have not seen each other for a long time, are also the best preparations before the game.

"This game is definitely a very challenging challenge for the Pacers," O'Neal said.

"If I were them, I would think carefully about how to restrict Qin Tao!" Barkley echoed.

Kenny Smith raised his brows, and said with a surprised expression on purpose: "You all have to say directly about your feelings, the Celtics will be the winner of this game, right?"

O'Neill and Barkley looked at each other solemnly, and nodded at the same time solemnly: "That's right."

"We can't imagine that a team that has just finished the tiebreaker will meet a strong team and finally play an astonishing performance!"

Kenny Smith was speechless, the two of them were really close to labeling themselves as green fans on their foreheads.

But this is indeed what it means on the books, and the Celtics are better than the Bobcats, right?
The perspective returns to the court.

As the main players of both sides began to enter the field one after another, their information was already displayed on the big screen in mid-air.

However, when everyone saw the result, the entire arena was a little bit fried.

Everyone looked surprised, as all eyes were on the Celtics.

what happened?
From a purely literal point of view, it means that the Celtics' lineup has undergone tremendous changes!
Qin Tao, who has always played the power forward position, actually appeared in the small forward position in this game!
Such an arrangement was like a bomb explosion, which shocked everyone inexplicably.

To know.

The Celtics' starting center is not Humphries, let alone someone else, but Brandon Bass, whose playing time has been compressed in the regular season!
Then add Olynyk to play power forward, Gerald Wallace and Rajon Rondo to play point guard and point guard, this lineup is simply too small and too bold!

After all, this is the venue for the semi-finals, and it feels a bit unreasonable for them to arrange this way.

Not to mention that the outside world was bombarded by this lineup, even the Pacers were surprised to see such a lineup.

So come on.

Do the Celtics want to give up the entire inside line?

Or have they grown up enough to ignore their lineup?
But the lineup was like this, the referee had a look of surprise on his face, and naturally he was doing what he should do.

jump ball.

Qin Tao returned to this position again, easily won the ball for the Celtics, and ran forward with his teammates.

Don't say it.

After Qin Tao was supposed to play small forward, the inside line was almost empty.

Brandon Bass has a mid-range and directly pulls Hibbert out.

Needless to say Olynik, David West dare not neglect, he will follow wherever he goes.

Coupled with the fact that Qin Tao is sitting on the flank, the whole inside line is really uncomfortable.

And Rondo, who organizes tactics, doesn't care what others think. He sees the opportunity and rushes to the inside with the ball. DJ Watson wants to block it, at least he doesn't have this ability yet.

Want to help defend?

Hibbert and West were pulled far away, and there were two high-level forts beside them, how dare they go to help defend?
and so.

When Rondo took three big steps and easily hit the ball, no one thought that the Celtics' offense would be so simple.

No celebration.

Qin Tao and the others looked at each other, and immediately ran to the backcourt by taking advantage of their size.
