Chapter 1508
The atmosphere on both sides seems to be quite friendly, but the fans who have such a good thing insist on messing up this fairly normal game.
Inexplicably.
A sense of hostility suddenly began to spread on the scene. It felt as if they were about to go to the battlefield, and the sense of grievance was very strong.
Sensing this atmosphere, Qin Tao and the others frowned first.
They are all too familiar with this feeling.
Knowing all too well what this atmosphere does to the Cavaliers players.
They may have been well-meaning at first, but playing in this environment, old and new scores will immediately come to mind.
After all, there is indeed a certain grievance between them and the Celtics. They always lose to them in the Eastern Conference finals, so naturally they will not be in a good mood.
But in just a split second, Qin Tao and the others regained their composure.
Regardless of the scene, it's just a game.
They only need soldiers to block them, which is enough.
Then there is a series of pre-match sessions, followed by the appearances of the starters.
There are some changes in the Cavaliers' lineup. Center Tristan Thompson, power forward Kevin Love, small forward James, and the shooting guard did not use Shumpert. Instead, DeAndre Liggins, who has played for five years, was used as the starter. The point guard is Kyrie Irving.
In response to this situation, the Celtics did not respond.
Center Jokic, power forward Qin Tao, small forward Durant, shooting guard Avery Bradley, and point guard Isiah Thomas.
They have basically set the starting lineup this season. Even if Jaylen Brown continues to improve, he still needs to lead the second team for the time being.
Midfield jump ball.
The moment the referee threw the basketball into the air, Qin Tao gave his signal.
His take-off height outrageously surpassed Thompson's forearm, which made the latter's opponents severely challenged.
This is the difference!
The fans at the scene immediately became restless, and the arena had already begun to hustle and bustle.
But in the face of absolute strength, they didn't dare to complain too much, after all, the gap was too obvious.
Isiah Thomas took possession of the ball, and the Celtics didn't choose a tactic they were good at for the first ball. Instead, they waited for their teammates to settle down, seemingly ready to play.
The inside line Qin Tao directly asks for a position. Kevin Love's tonnage at the power forward position seems to be not small, but in fact, after encountering a strong inside line, his deterrence is not strong.
of course.
To be able to become Mr. Billionaire, he has a lot of means.
It's just that facing Qin Tao's important position now, he really doesn't have many options.
Little Thomas got in place immediately when he saw it, and the others immediately opened up space for Qin Tao.
honestly.
Almost every team will play this kind of tactic at the beginning. One is to establish a position for the core, and the other is to expect the core to play their momentum.
As the saying goes, everything is a good start, as long as the first one wins, no matter what method, the mood of others will become more comfortable.
But something unexpected happened.
The first time Qin Tao received the ball, James, who was following Durant on the flank, rushed towards Qin Tao without any warning.
Even looking at his other teammates, it was obvious that, like the Celtics, they didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.
But on the field, he has always paid attention to an on-the-spot reaction. DeAndre Liggins immediately filled his position, which made Durant's pull was somewhat restrained.
have to say.
The Cavaliers put him on the floor for a reason.
He is very aware of the consequences of what he does. With Avery Bradley's offensive ability, he does not pose a particularly big threat.
Before Isiah Thomas moved, Owen quickly judged Bradley's reaction position, gave a certain amount of harassment, and immediately returned to Thomas Jr.'s body.
Comparing the threats of the two of them, it must be Thomas Jr. who is important.
It's just that with the Cavaliers' quick response, the Celtics are a bit slow.
As such.
Qin Tao must face James and Love.
And after James made this choice, Love posted it immediately.
Qin Tao was fearless in the face of danger, quickly judged the situation he was about to face, seized a gap, and immediately gave Jokic who was pulled to the bottom corner on the right and was now responding quickly.
withdraw!
Seeing Jokic take the ball, Qin Tao immediately turned around and ran outside.
This is his trust in Jokic, and he directly handed over the initiative of this offense to him.
And Jokic, who received the big pot from Qin Tao, showed what he learned last season.
Even though Thompson was chasing him from behind, and he chased him very explosively, he didn't have any fear, and suddenly stopped suddenly, shaking Thompson out of the way, without even looking at other positions, he raised his hand decisively shoot.
bang~~
The ball was missed, but Jojic and Qin Tao's reactions were correct.
This kind of decisiveness is needed at this time, otherwise what will be left for them is a mistake.
The rebound was taken down by Thompson, and the corners of this guy's mouth curled up triumphantly.
Quickly handing it over to Owen, Thompson ran like he was on hot wheels, with indescribable speed.
Also.
Always being deflated by the Celtics, as long as there is such an opportunity, he will naturally become excited.
However, when he just rushed through the midfield, Qin Tao was like a gust of wind, and immediately completed his position.
With him are Thomas Jr. and Durant. The speed of the three of them returning to defense is really fast.
Owen originally wanted to play fast, but because of Qin Tao and the three of them quickly settled down, he had to temporarily choose to give up.
As for James.
Originally, he followed Durant the moment he moved, but before he followed the midfield, his ankle seemed to have some minor problems, and his speed suddenly slowed down.
But looking at his position on the flanks now, there seems to be no problem. It seems that there were some minor accidents in the effort just now.
If you can't make a quick counterattack, then attack in the position they are good at.
Love directly took Qin Tao out of the paint, Thompson moved left and right in the paint, James used the cover of DeAndre Liggins to catch the ball, facing Durant seems to be ready to single out.
at the same time.
Owen and the others immediately stretched the space and created such an opportunity for them.
Facing Durant directly, James showed the toughness he deserved. He directly chose to fight physically, forcing Durant to get out of the way. After some fake moves were in place, he immediately lowered his center of gravity and began to break through.
His breakthrough is not particularly pleasing to the eye, but his victory is swift and powerful, and few people can stop him from rushing.
But what surprised the Cavaliers was that Qin Tao, just like James in the previous round, suddenly gave up on Kevin Love and rushed to the defense at an astonishing speed.
His choice instantly stunned the fans, followed by some laughter.
why?
The reason is very simple.
DeAndre Liggins let go of Avery Bradley because of the deviation of the latter's autonomous offensive ability.
And what about Kevin Love?
He is one of the players with the best inside shooting ability in the league!
