Chapter 110: I Like Victory Too
"Fighting for you? Haha, Charles, who are you saying Ray is fighting for? ”
"I guess it's not you! Ah, see, the girl was sitting on the sidelines again, maybe Ray was fighting for her. ”
"Haha, do you mean Ray Girl? Well, it seems that our Ray has found his true love! ”
The difference between Raelin's performance in the first half of the last game has caused many people to have questions, especially when Raelin left the Toyota Center with the girls after the game, which caused a lot of gossip.
Many people think that the difference in Leylin's performance in the first half is mainly because of that girl.
However, judging from the performance, Lei Lin's performance does have a lot to do with Qin Dongmei.
Although there were many fans in the stands who opposed Raylin leaving the Rockets and were a little disgusted by Raelin's behavior, when Raylin dunked successfully, the stadium still cheered.
But in addition to the cheers, the fans were tangled again.
After all, Leylin won't be a member of the Rockets next season.
And the better Leylin performs at this time, the more frustrated they will be.
"Attack!"
And just when the fans were entangled, the Nuggets missed the offense, and Rayling picked up the rebound and threw it directly to Bobby Jackson on the outside, directly forming a counterattack.
"Beautiful! Ray is more adept at controlling rebounds. It seems that in this series, the Nuggets want to win, and it is a little difficult. ”
Compared with the previous times, Leylin looked much more relaxed in the battle for rebounds with Camby this time.
The Rockets, who scored twice in a row in the opening game, are more confident in this game.
Immediately after Jackson hit a counter-attack, the players returned to the basket to defend.
"Roar, it's still a joint defense. While the Nuggets have a strong offense, Rick seems to have found the Nuggets' shortcomings. ”
The loss in the last game allowed Adelman to find a way to eliminate the Nuggets.
While the Nuggets have a strong offense, it's all due to the individual abilities of Anthony and Iverson.
Judging from the data of the regular season, the Nuggets' three-point ability is good, which is the best weapon to restrain the joint defense. But with the exception of Iverson Anthony and J.R. Smith, the rest of the three-point ability is mediocre. Iverson and Anthony were often caught in the game, and even if they passed the ball, the rest of the Nuggets couldn't provide three-point support.
Clang.
In the middle of the pack, Iverson sent the ball to the outside of Creza.
Although there was no one in front of Kreza, after the shot, the basketball still smashed on the basket and bounced high.
After Raeling grabbed the rebound, he won the ball for the Rockets.
After half-time, Bobby Jackson held two fingers up in the high post.
Seeing this gesture, Leylin pulled directly to the penalty arc, and at the same time Scola came to the strong wing. Maddie and Battier move towards the weak side, on the other hand.
After passing the ball to Scola, Bobby Jackson cut straight to the basket. Scola gave the ball to Bobby Jackson with a shot and assisted Jackson for a layup.
6-0.
The opening game was scored three times in a row, allowing the Rockets to play more and more smoothly.
The slow-heating Nuggets didn't score two points until three minutes into the game, when Iverson broke through to the basket.
But by this time, the Nuggets were already 10 points behind the Rockets.
12-2。
The Nuggets were in trouble right in the opening game.
……
BOOM!
After receiving Maddy's return pass, Leylin pressed Camby to complete the dunk.
This was his third dunk in the first quarter, and each dunk was powerful.
24-10。
Leylin directly helped the Rockets take a 14-point advantage, forcing the old man George Karl to call a timeout.
"Good job, Ray, you can get a rest, DiCambe, you wait to play......"
After accepting Adelman's praise with a hearty smile, Leylin took the towel and sat down at the end of the bench.
"How does it feel?"
Seeing Qin Dongmei sitting, Lei Lin asked with a smile on his face.
"It feels great, you played well tonight!"
"Hehe, thank you!"
After the timeout, the Rockets fielded a bench lineup dominated by Hyde, Landry and Uncle Mu. The Nuggets, on the other hand, sent in offensive maniac J.R. Smith to step up the offense.
Although the Rockets replaced Scola and Reiling, they still firmly controlled the initiative under the leadership of Maddy. However, after replacing JR Smith, the Nuggets' offensive strength has strengthened a lot.
After Maddie hit a layup, JR responded with a three-pointer from the outside. JR's three-pointer also set off an offensive frenzy for the Nuggets, who scored a total of 15 points in the remaining five minutes of the first quarter, and at the end of the first quarter, they directly rewrote the score to 32-25, only seven points behind.
In the first few minutes of the second quarter, it was still Maddy and Battier who were on the court with a bench against the Nuggets led by Iverson and J.R. Smith.
With a bang, Camby received a pass from Iverson and completed the dunk directly. At 36-33, the Nuggets closed the score again. In the four minutes that passed in the second quarter, the Rockets didn't play particularly fluidly.
At the same time, on the defensive end, it was not as tight as in the first quarter.
Seeing that the score was forced close, Adelman directly called a timeout.
"George, that guy will definitely replace Anthony to strengthen the offense, so we are still switching back to the 212 defense, Ray, ready to play, strengthen the protection of rebounds, and also pay attention to foul control."
Raylin, who played seven minutes in the first quarter, picked up two fouls. Obviously, the Nuggets will definitely continue to play on this.
"Understood."
In terms of offense, Adelman didn't go into too much detail, and after a season of cooperation, the offensive tactics were already well understood.
"Come on, Raylin!"
When Lei Lin just stood up and was about to step into the court, Qin Dongmei clenched her fists and shouted excitedly on the sidelines.
Seeing Qin Dongmei smile a little, after clenching his fist and beating his chest, Lei Lin walked directly onto the court.
At the same time, the Rockets also brought on Scola and Jackson for Maddy, Uncle Mu and Landry.
And the tunneling team also replaced Anthony and strengthened the attack.
After returning to the game, Rayling went straight to the basket to give the Rockets the lead in scoring. But the Nuggets' JR Smith was not to be outdone, and in the subsequent offense, he hit a three-pointer directly and returned the color.
Although Maddy is missing, in the offense, the Rockets' reasonable ball distribution has made the Nuggets unable to overtake the score. However, at the same time, it was also because of the lack of a prominent scoring point that the Rockets were never able to pull the score away.
By the end of the first half, at 56-53, the Rockets had a three-point lead.
The small score difference once again made the fans in the stadium nervous.
Especially at the beginning of the second half, Anthony directly scored a three-pointer to tie the score, which made fans even more worried.
"Rushing to three points, Anthony directly helped the Nuggets tie the score, the Rockets are in danger, if the second home court can't be won, the result of this series is really hard to say."
Kenny Smith raised his voice a lot after Anthony hit a three-pointer, and as a former member of the Rockets, he also hopes that the Rockets can make a breakthrough in the playoffs.
However, after the Nuggets stubbornly equalized the score, he had a bad premonition.
"Bang ......"
Just when Kenny was worriedly commenting on the Rockets' tradition of crashes in games over the past few seasons, Railling completed another dunk under the basket.
"Beautiful dunk, Ray's dunk this time, not only caused Camby's foul, but more importantly, boosted morale."
After walking to the free throw line, Leylin held the basketball and aimed there for a long time before making a shot.
The basketball stumbled into the basket and hit a three-point shot, stretching the margin to three points again.
"Defense, guys, defense!"
After the penalty, Leylin slapped his face and shouted loudly in the stadium.
"Actually, I think Ray is more like the leader of this team than the guy who didn't wake up."
Barkley said unexpectedly after seeing Leylin's move.
Although Barkley admires Raeling, he has never said on any occasion that Raeling will become a leading player in the future.
"As things stand, Ray is a good fit to be a leader player. But the key is whether he can do what he says. ”
Back in the half, Leylin stood near the free throw line, his eyes fixed on Iverson who was attacking with the ball.
"It's not just you who like to win, I like to win!"
