Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Rookie's Performance

"Get out, executioner!"

"You bastard......

Although Maddie's recent performance has not been good, fans still angrily scolded Maddie when they saw Maddie being pulled straight from the air by Miller.

All of a sudden, the entire Toyota Center was filled with invective against Miller.

Leylin didn't expect Miller to make such a crazy move.

After watching Maddie cover her shoulders and push Miller away, Leylin immediately came to Maddie's side and prepared to pull Maddie up.

But seeing Maddie clutching her left shoulder in pain, Leylin stopped her movements.

I went directly to the sidelines and called the team doctor.

β€œSHIT……”

After a brief examination by the team doctor, Adelman scolded angrily.

Left shoulder injury!

However, the specific situation needs to go to the hospital for further examination.

After Yao Ming's absence, although Maddie's performance in many games was not particularly ideal, it is undeniable that in the twenty-two consecutive wins, including now, Maddie's role in the team is obvious.

If Maddie is injured again, it will be fatal for the team.

Especially in the competitive West.

Although the Rockets are now 48-23 and in third place in the West, they may fall directly to the top four if they are not careful. This is obviously not good for the playoffs.

Maddie also knew this, so after coming to the sidelines, Maddie directly refused the request to leave the field.

"I can hold on!"

In order to be able to achieve a good ranking in the playoffs, Maddie also fought hard.

But for the sake of the team's results, can the health of the players be overdrawn?

This is a no-no.

So Adelman still refuses Maddie's request.

"Your priority now is to cooperate with the examination and be aggressively treated! If you can catch the road trip, it's the best! ”

After the game against the Kings, the Rockets will start a road trip after playing the Timberwolves at home.

Maddie makes sense when she thinks about it.

The Timberwolves are now considered the league's best team, even if the team is missing itself and playing at home, the possibility of winning is still very high.

But it's hard to say anything about the road trip, especially the first game against the defending champions, Spurs.

β€œOK!”

Maddie clutched her shoulders and left the court directly with the team doctor.

After Maddie left the field injured, the game resumed.

After losing Maddie, Adelman shifted the focus of his offense to the interior players. Relying on Scola's offensive ability and Raelin's defensive ability, the Rockets had a five-point advantage at the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, under the bombardment of Raylin, Scola and Landry, the Kings' interior Moore and Hawes surrendered directly.

The trio dominated the basket in the fourth quarter and ultimately helped the team to a 110-102 victory over the Kings, making it three straight wins after a two-game losing streak. After three consecutive wins, the Rockets are still in third place in the West.

And Maddy's shoulder injury report has also come out, and he will be out of action for at least a month, which means that Maddie's season is basically reimbursed.

It's definitely not good news for the Rockets.

However, in an interview, Maddy said that he will play at any time, but he will definitely miss the game against the Timberwolves.

After a day of rest, at the Toyota Center, the Rockets welcomed the Timberwolves, their last opponent before their road trip.

Although Maddie was injured, the fiery atmosphere still filled the entire Toyota Center.

After Rayling hit Al Jefferson, he made a turnaround jumper, and the bell!

The basketball smashed directly on top of the basket.

"Damn!"

Seeing the basketball smashed on the basket, Lei Lin scolded directly.

Al Jefferson's defense wasn't very good.

Lack of height and slow footwork are all weaknesses for Jefferson as a defensive interior player, with the only strengths being his stocky size, superior strength and excellent reach.

With his strength and reach, Jefferson caused a lot of trouble for Raelin after the bout began.

This was the fourth ball Raeling had missed in the first quarter.

After Leylin's shot was missed, Jefferson quickly turned around, stuck Leylin, and grabbed the rebound with both arms and hands, easily taking the rebound into his arms.

And when the Timberwolves attacked, it was time for Reelin to start worrying.

Although Jefferson relied solely on his body and strength on the defensive end.

But on the offensive end, this stocky-looking guy is so flexible.

Jefferson leaned his back to Leylin and began to arch towards the basket, if he just blindly arched to the basket, Leylin would not be afraid.

The key thing is that I don't know when this guy will come directly to a turn-over and step-back jumper, and I don't know when it will come directly to a jump hook.

Concentrated, Leylin tensed every nerve in his body, afraid of missing Jefferson's feint and being scored on his head again.

More than halfway through the first quarter, Jefferson had already scored six points on his head. Leylin didn't want this to continue.

After Jefferson's sudden turn, Leylin quickly moved sideways and reached out to block Jefferson's shot.

"Oh, Ray looks like a clumsy rookie right now, being played around by Al there......"

After Leylin blocked his frame-and-shoot lane, Jefferson scored a layup from the weak side of Leylin.

Looking at Jefferson's back, Leylin had a feeling of powerlessness.

In the face of Garnett, in the face of O'Neal has such a sense of indifference, Leylin can still accept it, but in the face of Jefferson has such a sense of powerlessness, so that Leylin will really be unacceptable for a while.

came to the basket, and Leylin reached out directly to ask for the ball.

Alston saw Reelin asking for the ball and passed the ball to him without hesitation. Because before the game, Adelman emphasized that the main point of attack in this game is the opponent's interior line.

So it is understandable that Lei Lin is strong and strong.

Railling, who received the pass, was like a blindfolded donkey, carrying Jefferson there and arching to the basket.

"His uncle's!"

After two pushes, he still couldn't stand up to Jefferson, and after scolding secretly, Leylin directly forcibly turned around.

Yes!

Beep!

Feeling the pain coming from his elbow, before Leylin could react, the referee's whistle sounded.

Looking at Jefferson lying on the ground with his mouth covered, Leylin quickly calmed down.

"Elbow strike, Jefferson was the first elbow to get thunder! It seems that Ray is a little impatient, well, 4 shots 0 hits, 6 shots 5 hits, no wonder Ray is impatient! ”

"Yes, a series of luxury data can't hide the authenticity of Ray is a rookie, Jefferson just unveiled the mystery of Ray, I believe that Ray will encounter more trouble in the future, I hope Ray can grow up as soon as possible!"

Looking at the referee's gesture, Raelin knew he had committed a foul.

After pulling Jefferson up in embarrassment, Leylin said sorry.

Then he was replaced by Adelman.

Playing nine minutes, 0-of-4 shooting, 3 rebounds, 2 turnovers, 2 fouls, Raining looked so helpless for the first time against Jefferson.

If this was Leylin's first game, Leylin might have felt a little better.

But after seeing the cruelty of the league and playing against so many centers, facing an inconspicuous person like Jefferson, he was completely blown up, which was more or less unacceptable.

Leylin, who was sitting on the bench, was a little stunned.

"Ray, you don't have to mind, it's part of your upbringing! But I hope you can strengthen your jump shooting training as soon as possible, and increase your scoring skills......"

Adelman walked over to Leylin's side and comforted him, but at the end of the day, Adelman sighed.

Hearing this, Leylin's old face turned red!
