Legend Raiders

Chapter 434 A Key Turning Point
"Pull away!"

Qin Tao landed on the top arc of the three-pointer and signaled to his teammates.

When Beverley handed him the ball, he took Parker and ran to the right.

The right side has become the strong side of the Rockets, and Qin Tao, Beverly and Greg Smith are all on this side.

Harden and a tired Parsons settled on the left side, leaving the middle to Qin Tao and Duncan.

Trouble.

Duncan raised his brows slightly, and his eyes were slightly serious. What he was most afraid of was coming.

Head to head!

Qin Tao's changes directly started from here.

The change of footsteps and the turning of the rhythm instantly put strong pressure on Duncan.

If you want to block Qin Tao, unless he can get close in the first place.

But Qin Tao didn't give him this opportunity at all. He seized the loopholes in Duncan's defense and broke through with the ball.

Are you going to deduct it?

Everyone had this idea, but the other players on the Spurs team were very dedicated. Leonard and Ginobili both rushed forward, looking quite ferocious.

But Qin Tao didn't do what everyone wanted, but when they were very close, he suddenly passed the ball to Harden.

catch the ball.

Stupid.

Harden didn't expect Qin Tao to pass the ball to him suddenly, but as a super scorer, his shooting instinct immediately made him take off comfortably.

The ball goes in.

Three points into the net, simply neat.

There was a sudden silence in the stands, followed by cheers to the sky.

This is change!
A long overdue change!
this moment.

Not only did Popovich and the others not have any surprises, but the fans who recovered were also smiling and very comfortable.

But they were not surprised. This was what Qin Tao wanted most after laying the groundwork.

If he tries to mobilize the state of his teammates from the beginning, as long as the Spurs' defense continues to strengthen, they will encounter a lot of trouble in the second half of the game, which consumes a lot of energy and their tactics are not as good as the Spurs.

of course.

The fierce physical confrontation ahead also took a toll on them.

But relatively speaking, their physical strength is still stronger than the Spurs until now.

and so.

It's not that Qin Tao doesn't want to revitalize the team, it's just that he needs a suitable time.

Now enter the last section, which is the time Qin Tao wants.

As long as the teammates are strong enough, it is really possible for them to win the Spurs.

however.

They had just scored when Popovich called a timeout.

So alert?

Qin Tao frowned slightly, he didn't expect the old man to be so sensitive.

Back off the field.

McHale said in a rare and serious way: "Next, the Spurs will maximize the team's coordination, so you must ensure your fault tolerance. When to shoot and when not to shoot, you must have a spectrum in mind."

Qin Tao and the others nodded solemnly. The Spurs' defense and performance in the second half of the game are bound to pose a huge threat to them.

really!

As the game continued, the power of the Spurs gradually emerged.

The first is the inside line.

Popovich was very bold and suddenly replaced Duncan. DeJuan Blair, who had not played at all before this game, faced Qin Tao.

Then there's their perimeter.

With Leonard and Ginobili, the old man suddenly replaced Danny Green and let Ginobili take control of the organization.

With such a sudden lineup, not to mention Qin Tao and the others were a little dazed when they came on stage, even O'Neill and the others, who were talking eloquently in the commentary, were all stunned.

At such an urgent time, Popovich actually sent such a lineup, is it a joke?

Absolutely not!

At least the defense of Danny Green, Leonard and Ginobili is absolutely unimaginable by others.

Trouble.

Qin Tao frowned, he felt something was wrong.

At first glance.

The Spurs' lineup seems to be a bit heavy on offense and weak on defense, but Leonard and the three of them just pull out one of the three, and the defense is first-rate.

And after this lineup comes out, they will suddenly increase in mobility even though their defense is very good.

If you want more changes at that time, you have to consider their defense.

But the game has to go on.

Beverly held the ball and pushed forward. Qin Tao and the others quickly followed, obviously showing some signs of speeding up.

Come to the front court.

The Spurs did exactly what Qin Tao feared. No matter how they passed the ball and how quickly they ran in the half court, the Spurs lineup could keep up, at most half a beat behind them.

However, the threat of Qin Tao's arrow is still there. Facing Blair's strong resistance, he can't be said to be completely crushed, but Blair can't prevent it.

Thus.

The Spurs returned to the previous tactics again, which is to let Qin Tao do what he wants, and others want to catch the ball and play, which is really very difficult.

In the last 4 minutes of this quarter, Qin Tao's performance was strong, and Harden and the others were able to help one after another. However, the Spurs, whose mobility increased and their defensive strength continued to improve, clearly had an advantage, leading them by four points. .

time out.

Qin Tao, who was back off the field, was disturbed by a wave of restlessness in his head. Everything he had done before seemed like a joke under the change of the Spurs. Before the plan was fully launched, he encountered very big trouble.

Especially when the game is only 4 minutes long, if they can't find a way to crack and fight, I'm afraid the game will be suspended.

No!

Qin Tao wiped his face with a towel, then turned to McHale and said, "We need a small lineup."

McHale has a serious face, and the pros and cons of a small lineup are very clear.

If all goes well, they burst out with incredible energy.

If the Spurs have taken precautions, I am afraid their height will become a huge shortcoming.

But from another perspective, this lineup that has already played a successful rate is the key to breaking the game now.

As long as Qin Tao continues to play steadily, other players can rush up one after another, and the outside shooting rate is higher, then the Spurs will be in trouble.

Thinking of this, McHale nodded subconsciously.

With his affirmation, Qin Tao turned to look at Harden and the others.

Sweeping across their faces one by one, everything is in the eyes, and it doesn't make sense to say more.

The whistle finally sounded. Qin Tao was at the center, Parsons was at the power forward, Harden was at the small forward, Jeremy Lin was at the post, and Beverly's point guard had five small lineups in front of everyone again.

After seeing their lineup, cheers erupted in the arena.

Everyone understands how terrifying this lineup is.

But when they looked towards the Spurs, the cheers were much weaker.

"Tim Duncan, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, Ginobili and Parker!"

O'Neill read their names one by one, his expression full of astonishment.

The Spurs only changed positions, so could it be that they have such a strong lineup?
