Legend Raiders

Chapter 807

have to say.

When NBA players are with some familiar people, the degree of joy is really great.

They seem to be purely for indulgence, which is even more exaggerated than what the news said.

of course.

The nightclubs that they can be attracted to will naturally not let the idlers wait in, otherwise the streets will be full of news about them.

Qin Tao and Zarya were somewhat reserved at the party, probably due to their different identities on the team, and they needed to pay attention to too many things.

After arguing with these guys until one o'clock in the middle of the night, the two of them chose to go back to the hotel to rest.

Because they still have the second game between the Spurs and the Thunder to watch tomorrow, and after this game, they will take a plane to Oklahoma, so enough is enough.

The game came quickly.

When Qin Tao and Zarya got ready in the hotel comfortably, the pre-match media's one-sided game officially started.

Looking at the old and vigorous Spurs players on TV, Qin Tao couldn't help feeling emotional.

This team may be the most impressive team in the history of the entire NBA.

Not only have they entered the playoffs non-stop for 20 years, but after the 21st century, they went straight to the top!
nowadays.

The guys who created the aircraft carrier of the Spurs seem to have entered the second half of their careers, but they are not like ordinary players, they started to drift with the tide, and their status began to decline. They can say that they have been like a day for 20 years , the state has not declined much at all!

also.

When the camera was shown to Popovich, Qin Tao couldn't describe it with emotion.

The Spurs may still be very strong without some players, but without Popovich's Spurs, it may not only be Qin Tao who dare not think, no one knows where this team will go.

After all, with Popovich here, his system and tactics are still imprinted on the Spurs.

If one day they choose to retire like the cardinals and Phil Jackson, even if someone still takes over their mantle, it will still not be that way when they fight.

of course.

This is a bit absolute, but it can be seen what kind of impression a coach like them will leave on people.

The Thunder team is also very impressive, at least after Scott Brooks grew up as the head coach, his record is really good.

Not to mention Durant and Westbrook, they have grown into league superstars, and what they lack may be an opportunity.

soon.

As the players from both sides went to the court to warm up, Qin Tao and Zarya opened a bottle of beer, grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed them into their mouths, waiting happily for the start of the game.

Don't say it.

This feeling is like chasing those soap operas, the only difference may be whether it will impress people.

And as the grand appearance ceremony ended on the TV screen, the main players of both sides came on the field one after another.

There are basically no surprises in the jump ball session, and Ibaka is a serious macho.

The Thunder took the ball and attacked for the first time. They didn't feel tight because of their performance in the first game, but they played with a full sense of hierarchy.

So without pressure from the Spurs, they easily scored a mid-range goal from Durant.

And when the Spurs were attacking, they still played in the same way, taking no time to rush, like a man who is about to enter old age, completely unable to see that this is a game similar to war!
But it is this slow speed that makes the Thunder feel a lot of pressure.

As the Spurs began to grind like a mill, the Thunder's defense of Duncan and Leonard became tighter and tighter.

Because each of them is aware of the abilities of these two people, and while watching them, they have to be careful of Parker and Danny Green.

So when they wanted to link up, the seasoned Spurs did not give them such a chance. The ball was first passed to Duncan inside. Duncan tried to attack to no avail but continued to push forward until he was about to be double-teamed. Handed over to Leonard on the outside.

The Spurs have reached this stage, and the first offensive point has basically become Leonard.

This guy known as "Facial Paralysis No. [-]" has been pushed into the core of the team by Popovich and the team this year intentionally or unintentionally.

of course.

To be able to get all of this, apart from Leonard's own efforts, the most important thing is that the Spurs have reached the time to connect up and down.

With Leonard in the top position, when the team's tactics and player structure revolve around him, Duncan and the others may also retire one after another.

So from these, we can see how stable a mature strong team is when the old and the new are connected.

After Leonard got the ball, his choice was also very sophisticated. He didn't get entangled with Durant as soon as he came up. Instead, he passed it back to Duncan again, and then suddenly pulled it out to the wing.

With this action, the Thunder's defense was a little tight at the time.

But Duncan, who is like an old demon, directly hit a time difference. While he was about to hand it to Leonard, he passed the ball without looking at the shot. Parker cut in and it was a high throw!
Such a tacit cooperation made the scene burst into cheers, and even Qin Tao in front of the TV couldn't help admiring.

Therefore, as the first quarter progressed, the Spurs and Thunder, relying on the performance of their core players, were basically in a stable position to win.

However, the Thunder, who lost in the first game, obviously didn't want to let it go. They made a sudden effort in the final stage, but under the resistance of the Spurs, they didn't take the lead. In the end, there was only one goal and two points.

During the intermission, Qin Tao and Zarya communicated again.

But for some reason, they started betting again.

Zarya said that the Thunder are bound to lead with a high score in the second quarter, and the analysis is clear and logical, as if they have really watched this quarter of the game.

Her bet is also very interesting, and it turns out to be about the bedroom.

Qin Tao thought about it for a while, thinking that they are still evenly matched, and the result will be reached in the last quarter.

And his bet is not so interesting, leave a sentence that you can swipe my credit card at will, and then wait for the start of the game.

But as the second quarter progressed, the situation on the field suddenly changed drastically!
After the Spurs' strong defense at the beginning, they actually raised the banner of offense again!
Ginobili's appearance made him and Leonard the sharpest weapons on the perimeter!

Coupled with Duncan and Diaw inside, Marco Belinelli on one side made a three-pointer, and they kept squeezing the Thunder for most of the second quarter!

34:18! !
The terrifying offense of the Spurs once again created a high score in three quarters!

And their dominance on the defensive end is simply breathless, only allowing the Thunder to score [-] points!

Seeing such a score, Qin Tao and Zarya recalled their bet. They looked at each other and were speechless.

It was completely out of their predictions and analysis, and it didn't go to any of them at all.
