Chapter 571 Return to Houston
The three-point victory over the Heat made the topic of the Celtics skyrocket.
Everyone was staring at them, but they silently labeled them as the dark horses of the season in their hearts.
After the trip to Miami, Qin Tao and the team did not leave immediately, but chose to find a nightclub to celebrate a little.
Honestly.
Since Qin Tao and the others returned to the team, the amount of training during this period has been really high.
nowadays.
Whether it is physical needs or spiritual needs, they also need to relax after defeating the Heat.
Brad Stevenson knows this better.
The players in the team are basically young people. If they are too strict, when the temper of these guys explodes, it will be a big trouble that cannot be evaluated.
So he once again took out the NCAA's magic weapon for coaching young players. As long as they don't make outrageous moves, let them vent their previous fatigue and pressure.
The day after the end of the game, they took the opportunity to return to the Celtics.
But relax a bit in Miami, they also need to immediately put into preparations.
Because on the night of their return, they will face the challenge of the Magic.
last season.
With the outbreak of Aaron Afflalo and the rapid growth of Victor Oladipo, after entering this season, the Magic obviously want to make a big scene from the state of the players .
But after all, something went against their expectations. They played seven games, with a record of three wins and four losses, but they were almost touching half of the winning percentage.
Such a record, if viewed in the league as a whole, is not very good, but it is different in the East, at least they are ranked in the top eight in the East.
this match.
Before the Magic game, whether it was the players or the coach, they all expressed that they would respond with a [-]% attitude.
However, the outside world basically has the same voice. With their current state, whether they will kill the Heat, and the Celtics, who brazenly won five wins and one loss, know that they are in big trouble, but it is not a small unknown.
After all, the current Celtics continue to be high-spirited, and the state of the players is extremely hot, so it is really very difficult to cause trouble for them.
But the situation is like this, even if the Magic does not have any winning percentage, since they are participating in the NBA, they must go all out.
Moreover, there is no absolute underdog in the NBA, and things that overturn the gutter happen from time to time.
soon.
With the beginning of this game that did not attract much attention, the two teams played against each other at the beginning, and the competition was very clear.
Qin Tao still maintained a strong performance. After the other players relaxed and vented, they seemed to be more active and playful.
At the end of the game, Qin Tao played in less than 28 minutes, still relying on the performance of his teammates, with a score of 120:105, he easily pressed the Magic.
After this game, while the Celtics won another victory, they also once again consolidated their number one position in the league.
But after the game with the Hornets on November 11, they encountered Waterloo again.
full game.
All the players, including Qin Tao, feel very tired.
The state is sluggish.
Hit low.
Inefficient.
Lack of linkage.
All kinds of questions like this seemed to explode all at once.
Even though Qin Tao's performance was sluggish, he was still fairly stable, scoring 22 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocked shots.
But still the old saying, basketball is not for one person, but for five!
pity.
Even after defeating the Hornets, the Celtics had two days of rest, but after facing the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves, they suffered a two-game losing streak for the first time in the season.
After the game with the Timberwolves, Qin Tao and the Celtics fell into huge trouble instantly.
The media, who had been waiting for this opportunity, were active on the major sports sections and forums at that time.
Even those experts from all walks of life who appeared on the TV screen all day long, as well as the so-called NBA celebrities, also fired at Qin Tao and the Celtics one after another!
Someone shouted that this is the real Celtic.
Some people also used irony to push Qin Tao to the forefront.
If it weren't for O'Neill, Barkley, and even Christine Laidlow, who risked being blackmailed, supported Qin Tao without thinking on TV shows one after another. I really don't know how many people will join the battle group.
have to say.
With great ability comes great responsibility, which is not a commendatory term.
Especially under Qin Tao's single-core leadership, the pressure he endured was much greater than others.
So much so that when the Celtics got a two-day rest and were about to go to Houston, this black tide reached its peak in minutes!
What kind of game is this? ?
As long as fans and any media watched the game last season, they will know how important this game is to Qin Tao.
Because he is about to face his old club, the Rockets, for the first time this season!
And since the Rockets acquired Howard in the summer, and the team made a series of additions in the summer, they have become a strong team in the Western Conference, and they have won an extraordinary record of seven wins and four losses!
And because the Celtics had a strong start to the season, they were not brought up as a topic of comparison by the media. After Qin Tao and the others arrived in Houston, it reached a very scary level.
But what Qin Tao couldn't understand and imagine was that when he appeared at the familiar Houston airport and just left on the bus, there were a large number of abusive and mocking fans along the road, and the picture of burning jerseys appeared in his eyes!
anger!
irritable!
Qin Tao looked out of the window expressionlessly. He was still a little excited, but at that moment it turned into a piece of solid ice.
It is undeniable.
After he brought an incomparable surprise to the Rockets, he did not continue and chose to leave.
But his contribution to the Rockets and the phenomenon he brought are enough to make up for this link.
After all, it's only one year!
at this time.
The local fans greeted his return with such extreme behavior, whether it was out of selfishness or feelings from the previous life, Qin Tao couldn't calm down!
As for the other people on the same bus, no one spoke.
They just watched Qin Tao silently, the helplessness and bitterness in their eyes, even the slightest fighting spirit, explained everything.
Where is the NBA? ?
Although players and teams want to show friendship, the final result is often not reassuring.
Some of them have experienced more than one trade, and some of them want to get a job and keep running from team to team.
They are well aware of the bitterness and difficulty, but life has to go on. Since there are things that make them unhappy, they should respond with practical actions!
When he arrived at the hotel where he was staying, Qin Tao's mood suddenly reversed.
Because he saw the comrades who used to carry guns together!
James Harden, Patrick Beverley.
Chandler Parsons, Terrence Jones and Donatas Motiejunas.
Coupled with Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik who hadn't seen each other for a long time, their arrival instantly ignited Qin Tao's various memories, and the emotion quietly permeated his heart.
