Legend Raiders

Chapter 24
Harden's sudden yelling caused the halftime rhythm to stagnate.

But when he slammed the basketball into the frontcourt, the faces of the Pistons players changed drastically.

fast!
Amazingly fast!

Qin Tao galloped like a gust of wind, turned his head to look at the situation in the backcourt, looked at the basketball in mid-air, and jumped up to catch it in advance.

rush rush! !

In Qin Tao's eyes, there is only the basket not far away!

Old rules.

The moment Qin Tao took a big step into the free throw line, he roared away with the ball in one hand like a cannonball.

Bang!

Qin Tao, who fully displayed the aesthetics of violence, completed the attack with a vicious one-handed snap and an astonishing speed.

The entire stand was silent for a moment, and everyone subconsciously looked at the big screen in midair.

Slow motion breaks down Qin Tao's dunks, and the extremely stretched body and powerful beauty are presented to everyone in an extremely delicate manner.

Two points to the account.

With Qin Tao's dunks, the Rockets chased the score to eight points.

Easy to fight again.

The Pistons still have full execution on the offensive end, giving people a feeling that they are bound to win.

But after tactical running and rotation switching, they suddenly ran into trouble.

"Tyshaun, some people say that you are only born for defense, do you want to show them your strong offensive ability?"

Tyshawn Prince glanced at Qin Tao, who was pressing closely, his eyes flashed with amusement, and he passed the basketball directly to Rodney Stuckey.

I chao?

Qin Tao's face was depressed, isn't this oily old man too slippery?

It's not anal with you at all!
but.

Make sense.

Based on Prince's years of experience in the NBA, the amount of trash talk he has seen is not as much as Qin Tao can imagine.

not to mention.

As a team player, even if he is the only "veteran" who sticks to the current Pistons, his experience in reading the game is not comparable to Qin Tao.

Following Prince, Qin Tao gradually became impatient.

The Pistons' offense doesn't seem to start from him at all. Prince either cuts off the ball, or screens for his little brother in a pick-and-roll.

a time.

In this round of offensive and defensive battles, Qin Tao followed Prince and galloped halfway. He wanted to reverse the current situation, but he didn't get much chance.

thereafter.

It seems to be Qin Tao's dunk, or the Pistons' coolness. When the basketball was handed over to Drummond on the inside, he and Parsons were misaligned to attack and defend. .

The rebound was accepted by Harden and quickly handed over to Jeremy Lin.

But the Pistons learned a lot from a fall, and did not show any stupefaction. Instead, they immediately rushed to the backcourt at an extremely fast speed.

The Rockets' possible fast break is dead, and the pace of advancing the frontcourt is not in a hurry.

Come to the front court.

The Rockets are not like the chaos in the third quarter, and the offensive end gradually gives people a smooth sense of hierarchy.

At this time.

With Qin Tao making an extremely high-quality screen for Harden, the moment the latter received a pass from Jeremy Lin at the top of the arc, he opened his hand and scored a three-pointer.

5: 0!

With only two rounds in the fourth quarter, the Rockets directly recovered the point difference to only five points at an astonishing speed.

As the two teams gradually strengthened the physical confrontation, the Pistons' cooling feel and vigor were obviously not as good, and they were directly hit by the Rockets with a 9:0 shock wave.

at last.

Lawrence Frank called a timeout.

The players on both sides returned to the field, and the treatment they received was true one by one.

"Hey, buddy. Your dunks provide us with unlimited energy, and you can't leave Tyshawn's defense at every step, and you also give us more choices!"

Parsons kept praising Qin Tao comfortably.

The other players were also quite satisfied and kept sending praises to Qin Tao.

But what about Qin Tao?

For the praise of his teammates, he was really a little embarrassed.

Make sense.

The tactics of the Pistons in these two rounds are indeed a bit too rigid.

If Qin Tao can be exchanged in the tactical running, with Prince's experience and underestimated offensive ability, they will not be recovered so many points in an instant.

But the NBA stadium is no different from the battlefield. Under the ever-changing rhythm, saying anything now is a bit of an afterthought.

Play again.

McHale seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and the lineup he sent was called a ghost.

Center position.

Perhaps Drummond was too rough, or he didn't help the team much, the Pistons finally replaced Monroe who calmed down.

As for the Rockets, they not only replaced Asik, but also put Qin Tao in this position.

other locations.

Except for Harden's position, the Rockets have not changed, and the other positions have directly come to a height ranking.

At the power forward position, the Rockets sent Chandler Parsons.

The small forward position is still led by DeQuinn Cook.

The guard position was replaced by Carlos Delfino from Tony Douglas.

In the entire Rockets lineup, except for Qin Tao, the temporary center who is too short, the other positions are either equal or raised to a higher level.

Such a talented lineup directly blinded the Pistons.

Especially at the center position, when Monroe faced Qin Tao, he gave people the impression that he was obviously emotional.

but.

With Crawford's whistle blowing, even if the Pistons wanted to change their formation, it would be a matter of a few rounds.

Push forward.

The offense of the Pistons is still step by step, with Monroe as the core of the offense, and other players immediately launched a series of tactical runs.

pity.

If it is Asik, or even Bai Ade, who keeps up with Monroe, the high position support he brings to the team will be a very good tactical choice.

But with Qin Tao, who is more flexible and even has abnormal physical fitness, he really dare not hold the ball except for covering for his teammates and pick-and-roll.

All because of.

Qin Tao, who seems to be much shorter, is much sharper and stronger than Monroe, whose emotions are gradually fluctuating, whether it is the reaction speed of the body or the enthusiasm for oppression.

a time.

The Pistons' offense froze.

When Prince tried to attack the inside to no avail, the moment the Rockets got the rebound, it was like the cooperation of Harden and Qin Tao, and immediately launched a gale-like attack.

pass, cover.

Open up the space and Harden breaks through.

The Rockets resolutely implemented McHale's tactics and scored two points again in less than ten seconds.

Thereafter.

Even though Lawrence Frank launched a series of battles of wits and courage based on the situation on the court and the changes of the Rockets, the Rockets, who became more and more courageous as they fought, did not give the Pistons a chance. After recovering, it also led the Pistons into the final 15-minute decisive moment.
