Chapter 935 Against the Pacers
Celtic home.
Qin Tao and the others have long been used to the liveliness of the scene.
The enthusiasm of the fans keeps them motivated again and again. With their support, they will be full of motivation when they play.
Enter the arena.
Qin Tao and the others chatted and interacted with the fans, while thinking about the position of the players' bench.
Unlike them, the Pacers' treatment is somewhat indifferent. After all, their head star has been reimbursed early this season due to serious injuries.
The absence of Paul George is one of the main reasons why the Pacers have been pulling the brakes this season.
But the team's own atmosphere and problems also take up a lot of weight.
If they can get rid of some things, it may not be possible for the team to rank badly until now.
So from another perspective, stars are still very important to the team.
soon.
The warm-up and appearance ceremonies were staged one after another, and the scene was naturally full of jubilation.
Then came the debut of the main players of both sides.
Because of Paul George's injury, the Pacers' lineup has David West and Roy Hibbert attracting the most attention.
But they are about to face Qin Tao in this game, and they just don't know whether the two of them can withstand it.
and so.
Their lineup is center Roy Hibbert, power forward David West, small forward Solomon Hill, shooting guard CJ Mills, and point guard George Hill.
For the Celtics, center Tyler Zeller, power forward Qin Tao, small forward Evan Turner, shooting guard Avery Bradley, and point guard Rajon Rondo.
The two sides were very friendly at first, one by one hugged each other, and Qin Tao even chatted and laughed with these guys.
Sometimes the game is like this. There have never been so many grievances. It is not uncommon for brothers on the field to fight off the field.
jump ball.
Hibbert's height is enough, but his jumping and explosive power are really bad.
Qin Tao easily won the ball for the team, and did not play their familiar rhythm as soon as he came up, but ran forward in a leisurely manner.
Come to the front court.
Under the organization of Rondo, the Celtics gradually opened up and completely opened up the space, making it easier for Qin Tao on the inside to complete the attack.
It has long been an unwritten rule to hand over the first ball to Qin Tao. This is the core value and status of the team.
catch the ball.
Qin Tao stood facing the frame, glanced at the running positions of his teammates and opponents, and immediately felt relieved to play singles.
David West felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, so he stepped up immediately, lowering his center of gravity, trying not to let Qin Tao attack comfortably.
But Lian Po's old age and declining state made David West's defense not so strong.
But maybe the team had made arrangements before the game started. David West was just very tough at the beginning, and soon he used his experience to defend Qin Tao.
Bang!
Qin Tao's back was heavy, and if it wasn't for his clean movements, the referee would have given a foul by the amount of David West's retreat.
After this move, Qin Tao did not continue to turn his back, but turned around suddenly, using his flexible pace and speed, he simply passed West.
Reach out?
David West wanted to pull it subconsciously, but when he stretched halfway, he immediately took it back.
A foul was sent out at the beginning of the game. For a veteran player, that was completely irrational behavior.
And because the lineup had been pulled apart a long time ago, Qin Tao easily made a three-step layup and completed the attack in a light way.
in the stands.
When a large number of fans saw Qin Tao's sudden appearance, they were taken aback at first, and then burst out laughing.
Because it was too different from Qin Tao's usual style, he somehow found a laughing point for the fans.
Back to defense.
The Celtics' coordination and discipline are still very high. When the Pacers came to the frontcourt, they still settled down one after another, waiting for their arrival.
trouble!
George Hill glanced at the Celtics' formation, frowned, and then began his organization.
As a defensive point guard very similar to Rondo, George Hill didn't think about attacking himself, and considering Qin Tao's deterrence, he couldn't give the ball to West, but looked for opportunities I want to give it to Hibbert.
A defensive-oriented team lacks a core on the offensive end, and they must find the most confident players to achieve success.
Hibbert is definitely one of the most sure players on the field, and he is only facing Taylor Zeller. As long as he is stable and uses his own advantages to play, the goal is sure.
and so.
After Hibbert got the ball, he launched an attack immediately.
Tyler Zeller tried his best, but unfortunately his stature and strength were all inferior, so he had no choice but to let Hibbert finish.
It is very strange that after Hibbert scored points, the Celtics did not consider letting Qin Tao defend Hibbert, but continued to use Taylor Zeller.
So in the first half of the next first quarter, Hibbert's hand feeling and state exploded, and he directly formed a mutual explosion with Qin Tao!
Such a strange arrangement and style of play made Pacers coach Frank Vogel frown slightly.
This is not the Celtic he thinks, let alone the familiar taste.
Do they want Qin Tao to find an offensive state?
Vogel just thought about it, and then rejected it with a nonsense.
With Qin Tao's talent and strength, he didn't need to look for any status at all.
If the offensive end is not good, he still has that terrible defense!
So asking him to find an offensive state is really ridiculous.
So? ?
Vogel was suspicious, still unable to guess what the Celtics would do next.
however.
If he knew that the Celtics didn't have any special arrangements at all, I don't know how he would feel after knowing.
But this kind of thing is also normal, and no one who is a coach would think so, because it is very important to their next arrangements.
that's it.
In Vogel's guess, nothing special happened on the field, so under the mutual explosion of Qin Tao and Hibbert, the two sides ended the first quarter with 20:18.
Qin Tao scored [-] out of [-] points by himself. He was really like a brush. He couldn't score [-] or [-] points in a game!
But after returning to the field, Qin Tao seemed to be fine, and the other players were even more strangely expressionless.
But if you look back, it seems that the Celtics really have his arrangements.
With Qin Tao attacking alone, the Celtics on the defensive end didn't particularly care.
In this case, it's not too different from the Celtics' previous response to the Cavaliers. They all want to let the players rest as much as possible.
Think about it too.
With the start of the playoffs half a month away, the Celtics used this method to rest in advance, which is actually a very interesting way.
of course.
This is entirely based on the fact that they have Qin Tao, a stamina monster and talent monster. Otherwise, the team without him will really have a hard time predicting the final result.
