Legend Raiders

Chapter 16 The Game Begins

That night.

On the parking lot of the Palace of Auburn Hills, private cars moved like ants, occupying most of the space in a short while.

moment.

The surrounding staff hired by the team gradually began to print LOGOs for the fans present, and sold some light sticks and the like.

10 minute later.

Along with more and more fans, long queues formed one after another, and the voices about Qin Tao, with a rather bad tone, became the only main theme here.

Their theme was very direct, and everyone wanted to squeeze Qin Tao's balls.

But in the locker room of the visiting team, Qin Tao enjoyed it very much.

A plate of vegetable and fruit salad, a piece of beef that locks in nutrients and lacks flavor, plus a cup of energy-enhancing, specially prepared drink by the team, he eats with relish.

Jeremy Lin, who was sitting on the side, glanced at him, and couldn't help muttering depressedly: "Qin Tao, you are a heartless guy with feelings, right?"

Qin Tao swallowed the olives in his mouth and asked curiously, "How?"

Harden interjected at this moment: "First of all, shouldn't you say thank you when someone helps you?"

It's such a rationale.

Qin Tao was taken aback, and nodded in embarrassment.

"Secondly, there has been a lot of noise on the Internet. Even the Pistons and those reporters have treated you like this. Can't you show a little bit of indignation?"

Qin Tao said without hesitation: "Brothers, first of all, to express my gratitude to you, when the team releases the first batch of money tomorrow, we will take the Eagles by the way. I will give half of it, which is [-] US dollars. Take me, let's have a good nightclub together."

Harden and Jeremy Lin's eyes lit up immediately, these words were simply too righteous.

To know.

In the NBA, players receive salaries, except for those guys who are much more than the basic salary. Qin Tao's basic salary is divided into 24 times, that is, about [-] each time, before he can receive the annual salary.

nowadays.

It's kind of interesting that this guy actually took out half of the first time to thank them.

The second point Qin Tao raised against Harden was a strange batch: "James, are you sure I should express my indignation?"

Harden and Jeremy Lin nodded together.

If a professional player doesn't even have this piss, then it's really meaningless.

Qin Tao was even more surprised, he ate a mouthful of beef, and muttered: "Brother dei, I never care about what other people think, what can they do if they ignore me and scold me? Why don't we see each other on the court?"

I'm chaotic!

Harden and Jeremy Lin looked at each other, which seemed to make sense.

have to.

They were worried about this guy before.

Now that he said that, they felt relieved.

thereafter.

They didn't continue to chatter, just talking and laughing to replenish some energy.

07:30 p.m.

When the huge Palace of Auburn Hills was full of seats, amidst the hustle and bustle of the sky, the home team's appearance ceremony took place.

First of all.

The Pistons played their high guard Rodney Stuckey. In the positioning of the Pistons, he is a combo guard with a good offensive desire but a very unstable basket.

Next.

A few years later, Brandon Knight, who has fallen at a speed visible to the naked eye, is stronger than his organizational ability, and will be promised by the Sun next season.

then.

When Jason Maxhill, a power forward with a strong defense and a ground gun, appeared on the field, the atmosphere of the entire arena suddenly climbed to a G. It is obvious that the local fans like this sturdy guy very much.

follow closely.

It is Greg Monroe, who has gradually become the core of the Pistons. His appearance is very low-key. He high-fives with the other three one by one, and finally looks quietly at the player bench.

Suddenly.

When the spotlights of the arena suddenly pointed at the only figure on the player's bench, the atmosphere of the entire arena reached an astonishing level at that time.

Tayshaun Prince!

This tall and long-armed man used to compete with Big Ben, Roaring Tianzun, the little off-ball prince Hamilton, the king of civilians Billups, etc., but since the Bad Boys, he once again used the iron-blooded defense of the Pistons to make a living. Defensive champion!

nowadays.

Although Prince is old, his defense and spiritual value are enough to deserve the finale treatment!
a time.

The entire arena roared like a tsunami, as if they were welcoming their king, it was extremely hot!
On the Rockets' bench, except for Qin Tao, the performance of the other players was very calm.

"One day, I will make the whole league cheer for me!" Qin Tao took a deep look at Prince, then lowered his head, thinking about his own affairs.

Subsequently.

When the Rockets players play, they don't enjoy the treatment of the home team. They just read out the main lineup of the Rockets one by one, and let them enjoy themselves.

The Rockets' lineup looks like this.

Needless to say, the starting center is the honest man Asik.

The position of power forward is played by the third-year student, Patrick Patterson.

There is no doubt about the position of the small forward, Chandler Parsons is a fledgling, and this season is sure to be him.

Shooting guard James Harden, point guard is Jeremy Lin.

Judging from the starting lineups of both sides, they are basically step by step, and there are no highly targeted adjustments.

There is no doubt that the Rockets are playing Harden.

The Pistons are a little more complicated, because they have good offensive power inside, and because Lawrence Frank also pays attention to defense, except that he is more focused on the inside, he basically plays team basketball.

all in all.

In a popular saying, it is whether the Rockets' spear can penetrate the Pistons' shield.

For a while.

After the players from both sides completed a brief warm-up, the bald-headed referee Crawford, the referee on duty, first signaled to the technical stage, and then blew the whistle to start the game.

Watching Harden and the others play easily, although Qin Tao can't see anything on the surface, he is really an anxious group in his heart.

at this time.

John Blair Bickerstaff, who was sitting on the coach's bench, had no intention of noticing his reaction at a glance, and then hesitated a little. This assistant coach who is very good at communicating with young players walked over to him.

"Qin Tao, come here."

Qin Tao raised his head, was slightly taken aback, and then followed Bickerstaff to the end of the bench.

Sit down.

Bickerstaff first gave some encouragement and found that Qin Tao's attention was on the court. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "After our discussion, we will give you 5 minutes for the first regular season game of this season. playing time, and."

Qin Tao turned his head to look, his face was full of excitement: "John, are you sure?"

Bickerstaff nodded, glanced at the first row not far from their coaching bench, and suddenly said meaningfully: "Some guy will be very happy too. But you have to promise me, tonight, you can't Let anyone, get a six on your head!"
