Chapter 373 Maddie Returns

What the hell?

McHale looked towards the Spurs, frowning, as if he didn't understand why Popovich did this.

Generally speaking.

If the Spurs want to move a shooting guard, Ginobili must be their first choice instead of replacing other players.

Although Gary Neal is a qualified role player, compared to Ginobili, his role is definitely not as great as the latter.

nowadays.

For some unknown reason, Popovich did not replace one of the Big Three, and there was a little conspiracy in it.

of course.

This is the game between the coaches, the game is who can catch them by surprise.

The player replaced by the Rockets was not the expected Qin Tao, but Greg Smith.

Looking at McHale's substitution operation, it seems that he is preparing to speed up a little bit and keep Qin Tao's big killer in the second quarter.

The game restarts.

As soon as the two sides played, it gave people a feeling of bayonet fighting.

Especially in the outside competition, the Spurs are very active under the leadership of Leonard.

When it was the Rockets' turn, they resolutely implemented the pre-match arrangements and put most of their energy on defense, so that the two sides gradually fell into a defensive battle.

This kind of game is somewhat stiff, but at this time, the defense can best reflect the background of a team.

So after the end of the first quarter, let's not talk about the situation on the Spurs' side, but the Rockets' side was relieved.

They were not suppressed by the Spurs on the defensive end, but they were able to play evenly with them.

Back off the field.

McHale emphasized the players' defense, and then couldn't help but praise Harden a few words. This guy's performance just now was great, and he also made a lot of contributions on the defensive end.

After the break.

The moment that countless people have been looking forward to has finally arrived.

Because most of the main players of the two teams did not rest for a long time, this prompted them to rely on the substitutes to play more when they rotated in the second quarter.

However, this time has always been the advantage node of the Rockets, but the thickness of the Spurs' lineup should not be underestimated.

So when the two teams came on the bench one after another, the fans burst into cheers.

It felt as if the substitutes were more popular than the main players, and the main players who made the two teams rest couldn't help but complain.

of course.

The fans are not aimless, all because the current lineup of the two teams is really good.

The first is the Rockets here.

Qin Tao returned to the field as expected, but this time he was at the center, not a power forward, let alone a small forward.

At the power forward position, Terrence Jones, the little prince of abuse, was playing, which made this guy very excited.

The small forward is Francisco Garcia, who has limited playing time and barely played for 2 minutes in the first quarter.

The shooting guard was replaced by Carlos Delfino, and the point guard was naturally Beverly, the little mad dog.

Judging from the Rockets' lineup, it is obvious that they want to speed up again and play a small lineup.

There is no doubt that Qin Tao guards the inside line. Under his command, the little prince who abuses food may be able to abuse his opponents.

The configuration of the Rockets' front and back line may seem a little inferior, but Garcia, who can get Morey traded and can be regarded as a good defensive player, is naturally not a vegetarian, and he must not be underestimated.

Coupled with the Beverly who entangles you in a crazy bite, and Delfino who surprises you outside the three-point line, in terms of the strength of the bench, the thickness of the Rockets is definitely in the upper middle, and even go up. the point.

Look at the Spurs again.

Ginobili, who hadn't played in the first quarter, finally came out at this time.

Coupled with Duncan who rested for a long time in the first quarter, Danny Green who rested longer than others, as well as DeJuan Blair and Patty Mills, this lineup is definitely considered luxurious.

But Qin Tao's eyes were not completely on them, at least after fighting with them a few times, he was familiar with these people.

The person with the most eyes on him is a guy who has a deep relationship with the Rockets and left a deep impression on countless Chinese fans of that era.

Tracy McGrady!

That Ganba hit his soul!

That God was moved!

That created countless miracles!

The superstar who made a generation of Chinese fans unforgettable finally returned to this land in this way!

The noise.

cheers.

Cheers and salutes.

The return of Tracy McGrady has filled this field with thoughts, and countless people will never forget his contribution to this team!

Compliments.

The corners of McGrady's eyes kept trembling, he pursed his lips, and stood on the sidelines to pay tribute to more than 1 people around him.

huh~~

Qin Tao suppressed the memories in his mind, suppressed the sighs in his heart, stared deeply at McGrady, turned and walked towards the court.

Everything seems to have become a thing of the past.

Although Tracy McGrady is still in competitive form, he still has the heart to win a championship, but his age is not forgiving, and his injuries are always reminding him.

have to say.

At this time, McGrady is really quite old, but his heart that yearns for the trophy is still full of vitality.

beep~~

Even though this moment was enough to be remembered by countless people, the bald referee Crawford still blew his whistle. At least this was the first game of the Western Conference Finals that attracted countless eyes.

Game start.

Beverley received a pass from Terrence Jones and moved forward with the ball.

Coming to the top of the three-point arc, Beverly quickly glanced inside.

As a center forward, Qin Tao did not choose to penetrate deep into the inside line, but cruising at a 45-degree high position on both sides, completely pulling the inside line out.

And Terrence Jones is like him, taking Duncan to a position near the bottom corner on the right.

Look at it this way.

It seems that even Qin Tao is creating opportunities for outsiders, but in the eyes of the Spurs players, this is the beginning of their threat.

There is no doubt about Qin Tao's ability, not to mention that he is not completely a beast inside, and he can also create threats from medium and long distances.

As long as the Rockets' forwards and guards start to try to break through, Duncan and Blair have to choose to return to the defense when the inside is stretched.

If they choose to break through and score the ball at this time, Qin Tao can make some attacks in the middle and long distances, and Terrence Jones can also score points in the high position.

Their selection and tactics are very good, but the Spurs can be called the Western giants, and their ability is naturally not so small.

Next.

Duncan began to consciously squeeze Terrence Jones to a 45-degree angle, and Blair responded at the same time. The tonnage and lower body strength made him try to bring Qin Tao to Duncan's side.

After their actions, the others also drove the Rockets players to one place as much as possible, obviously to compress their offensive space.
