Chapter 60: It's Time
(Thanks for the tip!) Today's four watches! Eight o'clock in the evening, and ten o'clock in the delivery of two watches! Thank you for your support! )
Beep......
After restarting, it didn't take long for the first quarter to end.
With Alston scoring eleven points, the Rockets ended the first quarter 24-30, with a six-point difference.
But with the current situation of the Lakers, it is not very difficult for the Rockets to equalize.
After a hundred and twenty seconds of rest, Leylin and his teammates were back in action.
In the first quarter of the game, Raelin's performance was not outstanding, relying only on the rebound, scoring four points, but in terms of rebounding control, Raelin did a good job, relying on excellent jumping ability and height, and grabbed seven of Odom's heads.
After the game restarted, although the Rockets' offense still relied on running and cutting, at this time, most of the time, the ball would be handed to Alston on the last pass.
After all, at the end of the first quarter, he scored eleven points in a row, and his hand was hot.
Swish!
“THREEPOINT……”
Alston hit a three-pointer at the start of the second quarter.
"Wow!"
Above the audience, it immediately boiled.
It was the 14th point of the game for the street ball king, second only to Kobe's 16 points.
Swish!
Bryant took over the Lakers' offense again, and after shaking off Maddy, he made a jumper straight from beyond the three-point line.
Swish!
The street ball king hit another three-pointer from beyond the three-point line after receiving a pass from Maddie.
"Oh, roar, is this a three-point contest? Haha, I think it's a shame that Ralph wasn't invited to this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest, and it was the third three-pointer he hit in this game! ”
Clang.
Kobe, who wanted to regain face on the outside, was directly hit by Battier's entanglement.
After Raylin grabbed the rebound, the Rockets went on a quick run.
Maddy added two more points to a direct layup, 32-33, and the Rockets trailed by just one point.
Rumble.
The stands immediately boiled.
However, Phil Jackson did not call a timeout, everyone who watched the game knew that Jackson's performance on the sidelines was elusive, and he often did not call a timeout after a quarter of the game, even if he was hit with a big **, he did not call.
The reason for this may only be known to Jackson himself.
Of course, there is also a point that he may be testing the players' ability to adjust themselves.
Although the coaches can bring great convenience to the team by adjusting on the sidelines, the self-adjustment of the players on the field will be more conducive to the development of the team and control the direction of the game.
Swish!
Even though Battier reached out to block Kobe's eyes, Bryant still hit a step-back jumper for two points.
I have to say that sometimes the role of superstars is still very obvious.
Led by Kobe, the rest of the Lakers team also found their senses.
Odom scored six points in a row against Scola's defense.
As well as Vujasic's three-pointer and Wharton's mid-range shot, the Lakers seemed to be in a multi-point situation for a while.
However, it turns out that Kobe's teammates are indeed not very worthy of reliance, and it is just a flash in the pan.
Compared to the situation of the Lakers, the Rockets are called real multi-point flowering.
Alston lost his hot touch after hitting three consecutive three-pointers in the second quarter, but that touch seemed to have been transferred to the hands of the other players.
Rutherhead, Bobby Jackson, and Mike Harris combined for seventeen points in the second quarter to help the team bite the score.
By the end of the second quarter, the score was 59-56, with the Lakers leading the Rockets by just three points.
Raelin played less than three minutes in the second quarter and chipped in two points and three rebounds.
Combined with the scoring in the first quarter, it took six points after halftime.
Raylin's performance made Kenny Smith, who was sitting on the bench, worried.
"Hi man, I'd like to know, what kind of basketball do you need, there's Spartin's, there's Nike, of course, Jordan's, if you can, Adi's is not bad, but I personally recommend eating Spadding, after all, it's used in the league now!"
"Man, the game isn't over yet, don't jump to conclusions, maybe after the game is over, maybe it's you who eats basketball!"
Barkley listened to Smith and shrugged his shoulders there.
For this gamble, he has the confidence that he will win.
Back in the locker room, Leylin and his teammates were in a good mood, because after all, they were only three points behind their opponents at half-time, and the hope of overtaking the score and winning was very high.
It's just that Maddie's look is not so good.
Compared with Kobe's 28 points in the first half, Maddie's score was not a fraction of Kobe's.
This once proud league scorer is a little unacceptable.
But when Maddie doesn't look good, no one bothers him, just busy with his own business.
After a break of more than ten minutes, the main players' physical fitness has recovered most of them.
After the start of the second half, the two sides were the main players.
Swish!
When the Lakers came up, Kobe Bryant hit a mid-range shot.
The offensive curtain was opened.
Clang.
Maddie made a jumper after shaking past Kobe, and it was clear that he was trying to find his touch. It's just that it didn't hit.
"Oh roar, what a terrible performance, Tracy only scored six points in the half, not at all like an All-Star caliber player!"
Kenny Smith and Barkley, who sat on the commentator's seat, were also not very satisfied with Maddie's performance.
Syllable.
After grabbing the rebound, Leylin turned to the left, held the basketball with both hands and lightly, deceived Turyaf, and then slid to the basket, and Leylin directly put the basket.
"Roar, beautiful basket, Ray managed to fool Ronnie!"
Kenny Smith shouted excitedly when he saw Leylin score, he didn't want to gnaw basketball there in front of a national audience.
"Yes, although Ray's offense is beautiful, I don't think it shows Ray's offensive ability, but Ronnie's negligence on the defensive end!"
While Barkley admires Raelin, he doesn't want Raeling to score more than 20 points in this game, and like Kenny Smith, he doesn't want to nibble on basketball in front of a national audience.
After Reelin took a look at Turyaf, he was also shocked, knowing that the foundation of the French in the league is iron-blooded defense. Despite his lack of height and reach, his positive attitude and excellent physical attributes make Turyaf a great contribution on the defensive end.
But Leylin didn't expect that he was just a simple feint and actually deceived the French.
Clang.
After the Lakers made a successful attack, Maddie chased down a jumper and smashed it on top of the basket again.
The feel is still cold, and obviously in this game, Maddie can't be compared with Kobe.
After Odom grabbed the rebound, the Lakers scored on a fast break.
The score was again extended to seven points.
Unlike Jackson, who had entered meditation, Adelman immediately called a timeout.
He didn't want the score to be irretrievably bigger.
"Well done! Keep going like this, passing, passing, running, cuts, you know? Dude, they can't make it! In the end, it will be us who will win! ”
"Yes, we are the ones who win!"
"It seems that the morale of the Rocket players is very high, and it seems that the outcome of this game is unpredictable!"
Looking at the high-morale Rockets players, Kenny Smith couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.
Because only in this way can Leylin's score be 20 points.
Clang.
Back in the game, Alston missed a three-pointer from an open position, and Leylin grabbed the rebound.
Carrying Turyaf behind him, Leylin looked at his teammates who were running.
"Pass! This way! ”
"Pass!"
……
Looking at his teammates who ran out of the empty seats, Leylin didn't pay attention.
glanced at Kobe Bryant and pushed Turiaf behind him.
Leylin decided it was time to do something!
