Legend Raiders

Chapter 89 Energy Solutions Arena
After landing in Salt Lake City, Qin Tao's first reaction was that he was tired.

It was not being squeezed dry by Rihanna, but because of the discomfort of the plateau climate, the body had some stress reactions.

"No wonder this is known as one of the most difficult away games in the NBA. The altitude sickness alone has to give the visiting team a severe blow."

Qin Tao muttered with extra emotion, and subconsciously took a deep breath.

pity.

Because of the plateau, the oxygen is not as sufficient as other low-altitude places, but it makes him feel a little anxious.

Spotting his reaction, Bickerstaff quickly walked over to him.

Seeing this old man, Qin Tao immediately asked for help: "Dude, this place is too evil, do you have any good solutions?"

Bickerstaff shook his head helplessly: "No one can fight against the plateau climate without the help of external objects!"

Dead bird.

Qin Tao suddenly looked disappointed, he clearly felt that his body seemed to have some bad symptoms.

If you fight in this state, you will be tired every minute.

not to mention.

I just had a hard time with the Lakers yesterday, and I went to play here the next day, and the physical exertion is not a small burden.

but.

Bickerstaff still gave him a stupid solution: "Listen, what you have to do now is to work hard to maintain your physical strength. As long as you let your body get enough rest, the altitude sickness will be weakened."

Qin Tao had no choice but to accept that he looked sickly, without the vigor he had before.

The bus has arrived.

Rarely, all members of Team Rocket were not laughing or joking, but curled up in their seats one by one, thinking about their own affairs.

When he came to the designated hotel, Kevin Sampson did not arrange any activities, but asked the players to recover their physical strength as soon as possible so that they could cope with the evening game.

Time passes quickly.

After eating something at noon, and then going to the arena to get used to the venue, Qin Tao, Harden and the others returned to the hotel again, honestly accumulating strength.

At night.

They finally recovered about [-]% and took the bus to the Jazz's home energy solution arena.

Enter the locker room.

Qin Tao tried his best to adjust his mentality and try to calm down his mood.

The negative emotions brought to him by the altitude sickness can really make him worry.

After a day of adjustments, Qin Tao is already a little familiar with this strange environment.

When the arena staff came to inform them that the game would start in 10 minutes, Qin Tao's mood finally improved.

At this time.

Kevin Sampson finally took out his tactical board and formulated their tactics for tonight.

"All in all, we don't need to bear too much pressure in this game. We have performed very well, as long as we can play our characteristics normally."

Sampson ended his arrangement with these words, but everyone could clearly hear that his arrangement and these words obviously meant to give up the game strategically.

of course.

This is definitely not that Sampson surrendered without a fight, but that in this environment and back-to-back situations, there is no need for them to grit their teeth and win this game. After all, there are still up to 67 games to play.

Two 10 minutes later.

The Rockets players headed for the player channel one after another.

When they entered the arena one by one, the overwhelming hustle and bustle made them feel bad at the time.

Damn it!

Qin Tao cursed inwardly in great depression, and after adjusting his mood just now, he was provoked by these noises again.

Get into the dugout.

Qin Tao and Harden went on stage one after another to start warming up, but they were always in a high-spirited state, but they seemed somewhat sluggish.

After warming up.

The game finally started after the referee communicated with the technical desk.

but.

When the Jazz's main players played one after another, the Rockets were caught off guard.

Just looking at the main lineup of the Jazz, it is definitely a high group.

Center position.

The Jazz sent Al Jefferson, who once started in the Celtics and was fully worthy in the Timberwolves. He has quite good low-post skills.

And now he is not a traditional center who is on the verge of being eliminated five or six years later. His toughness and low-post attack power are definitely among the top in the league.

As for the position of power forward, the Jazz put a third-year student, Tan Hualang for 10 years, and the data is increasing year by year. In the future, Derek Favors will be regarded as an important puzzle for the Jazz team.

Looking at the position of the small forward, as long as this name is mentioned, everyone will be surprised by the Jazz's lineup.

this one.

The Jazz did not put Gordon Hayward, who they regarded as the core training, let alone Marvin Williams and DeMarre Carroll, but directly put Mishen and Paul Millsap on top this location.

Just looking at the Jazz's front line and inside line, it is completely ready to play against the Rockets.

If it's not above the guards, they have deployed Randy Foye, who is a little watery. Once Hayward, Marvin and Carroll are put on the front line, it is really a very high lineup. up.

so.

Tyrone Corbin, who the Jazz took over as coach of Jerry Sloan, is really a group of ghosts only in terms of lineup arrangement.

Look at the Rockets.

Facing such an extreme lineup of the Jazz, they are still the same lineup after the start of the season.

The two sides stood behind the midfield, except for Asik who was superior on the inside, everyone was shorter than the Jazz.

How to play this game?
Qin Tao looked at the court in a little confusion. The sudden lineup of the Jazz made him feel somewhat at a loss.

And Marcus Morris on the side was clearly sober at this time, and said: "Although the Jazz lineup is very tall, as long as we play according to the previous tactics, we may not necessarily suffer!"

"What's more." Morris bumped into Qin Tao's shoulder, blinked suddenly, and said, "Aren't we a group of honey badger brothers?"

Yes!

Qin Tao's eyes lit up immediately, thinking of the hard steel scene with the Lakers before, the little confusion disappeared in an instant.

"That's right!" Qin Tao shook his head violently: "Even if we are facing a group of evil dragons, they won't be able to think about it tonight!"

Simultaneously.

The game also started at this time with the whistle.

jump ball!

Asik and Jefferson were absolutely pecking at each other. The floor was weak and they ordered several times before the basketball fell to the Rockets' side.

After Jeremy Lin experienced the previous downturn, the process of advancing with the ball was obviously much more stable.

Come to the front court.

The Rockets followed the established tactics, and the players played for Harden one after another.

pick and roll.

cover.

Coupled with the reverse run and air cut, the state of the Rockets this round did not appear to be affected.

finally.

When Harden bypassed Patterson's wall and quickly pulled to the left three-point line, Jeremy Lin and Parsons played a screen, and the basketball was passed to him in an instant.

look at the basket.

Adjustment.

Harden cautiously jumped up to shoot, but at the moment when he was about to take the shot, he suddenly twisted his waist and passed the ball stiffly.

Patterson, who was also open but closer to the basket, caught the ball in a hurry and shot it at the same time Favors rushed.

shuh~
The basketball passed through the net lightly, and after scoring two points, all the members of the Rockets sitting off the court couldn't help but frown slightly.

"It seems that Harden's state is not very stable!"
