Wachovia Center Arena.

The Raptors players have arrived, and the 76ers players have also appeared one after another, but people have not seen Qin Hao until the end, and they are a little confused.

What about Qin Hao? What about our Qin Yutian?

Not only the fans, but even the on-site commentary was a little dumbfounded, just now I almost shouted Qin Hao's name, fortunately not, otherwise the person is not there after shouting, it will be embarrassing.

"What about Qin?" "Yes, where did

Qin go?" "What kind of plane, why didn't Qin Hao come out, this is a playoff?"

The

crowd laughed, and the fans almost overturned the arena.

A group of Raptors players are inexplicable, ten faces are confused, the heart said no, happiness will not come so suddenly, right? Xiaoka came back, but Qin Hao was going to miss the battle, was he sick, or did he oversleep today?

At this time, the voice of the commentator came from the loudspeaker, which seemed a little embarrassed: "That, here is an explanation, Qin temporarily withdrew from the game due to personal reasons, and he will not play today."

"What

?" "Ah, withdrawn? What personal reason, is it unwell?" For

a while, people were in an uproar.

At this moment, the host looked tangled, he had received news from the 76ers coaching staff, but did not know the specific reason.

So for the fans' questions, he can only have no comment.

And the reason why Coach Luke did not explain is out of personal ethics, which is Qin Hao's private matter, and it cannot be announced without his consent, otherwise it will definitely cause heated discussions among fans, including some malicious ones.

Instead of causing unnecessary discussion like that, it is better to hide it first, and when Qin Hao comes back, he will explain it to the fans.

The discussion lasted for a long time before the fans gradually quieted down.

Although Qin Hao did not participate, the game would continue, and at this moment, the players on both sides had warmed up and returned to the sidelines.

"Today's Qin not participating is a good opportunity for us. The Raptors head coach's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said in a deep voice: "Qin does not participate, Leonard has just returned, and there is only one Butler left in the opponent's Big Three." So we have to win this game, understand?"

Everyone answered in unison, fighting spirit.

Before, they were worried that the other party's three giants would gather together, and they had no bottom in their hearts, but now it is different.

What's more, Qin Hao is the leader of the 76ers, the star, the strongest of the Big Three, and the most indispensable, without his 76ers team is equivalent to a toothless tiger, but also a paper tiger, nothing to fear.

The 76ers side.

Coach Luke said: "Qin can't compete today, but we can't let him down, we have to win the game, understand?"

Butler smiled and said, "Qin is about to become a father, this is a great thing, we can't block him, we must win."

"Yes, you have to win. The crowd shouted.

Although Qin Hao was missing, the morale of the 76ers team was not the slightest low, and it was very high, because they were all happy for Qin Hao, and Qin Hao was about to become a father.

Today's victory is their gift to the little baby!

......

At half past seven in the evening, the game officially began.

Players from both sides came to the court, and the Raptors were Varlan, Patterson, Johnson, DeRozan, Lowry.

On the 76ers' side are Nene, Sbetts, Butler, Jr., and Sessions.

When Qin Hao is not there, there is no need to play "big four small", because "big four small" needs an excellent No. 1 player, and Sessions and Lu Wei can't do it. So Coach Luke still sent the regular lineup, but Lewis was still a substitute, as the "sixth man".

First jump the ball, the Raptors get the ball and attack first.

After coming to the front court, Lowry asked for a block, then broke through, attracted the defense, and then split the ball, passed to Patterson, who in turn passed to DeRozan.

"Pull away. The

others pulled away, DeRozan singled.

At this time, the opposite of DeRozan is Xiao Ka, and DeRozan is obviously ready to use Xiao Ka to just come back and give him a dismount first.

I saw that DeRozan first made a shooting feint, then broke through and accelerated to the right, and the small card quickly moved sideways and grabbed the position first.

"So fast?" said DeRozan in his heart, immediately dribbling from the crotch, replaced by a breakthrough from the left side.

But it still doesn't work.

Xiaoka's injury has healed, the physical condition is no problem defense, DeRozan wants to easily pass him as the "best defensive player", where is it so simple?

It is still a signboard.

With a soft click, the ball went in.

Xiaoka jumped up to block the first time, but the opponent was leaning back and still could not block it, allowing DeRozan to score the ball.

"It's okay, it's just getting started. Butler patted the card.

Xiaoka nodded and ran to the front.

Sessions pushed the ball to the front court and saw Butler open his hand for the ball, and immediately passed it, Butler was not polite, taking the ball is a single, a for tat.

Opposite Butler is Johnson, and Butler has a better advantage in playing Johnson than DeRozan playing a small card.

The last time the two sides met was in the regular season, when Butler was in extremely poor shape and had no sense of outside projection, but Qin Hao broke out and beat the Raptors by 62 points, making the Raptors a backdrop.

Butler is not soft this time.

I saw Butler take a step forward, the speed was not fast, took the initiative to find a physical confrontation, took Johnson to the top of the step back, Varan has moved closer to this side, ready to make up for defense.

However, Butler did not impact the inside, but took a step sideways, then jumped up, and also chose to shoot from mid-range.

Oh!

The ball goes in.

In the next few rounds, DeRozan singled one after another, wanting to target the small card point, and also scored another one, but after a few times, he found that the singles became more and more difficult.

The defensive pressure that Junior brought to him is increasing.

At the same time, Butler on the 76ers side is also playing singles in a row, just catch Johnson beat, isn't it a single, ball planet, who won't? Butler

here plays Johnson more efficiently than DeRozan, shooting 3 of 4, including a dry three-pointer, also hit steadily.

Butler scored 7 points, while DeRozan scored 4, both star singles, and the effect was clear at a glance.

Seeing that this was not right, Lowry quickly informed his teammates and asked DeRozan to abandon this style of play and start playing according to tactics.

For a while, the two sides came and went, and a few minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the Raptors were stunned and did not take advantage of the slightest.

......

Meanwhile, outside the hospital.

A taxi came, and without waiting for the car to stabilize, the door was pulled open, Qin Hao took out a few beautiful knives and threw them to the driver, said "no need to look for it", got out of the car and left.
