Chapter 112: More than two wins in a row

With a clang, the basketball fell off the hoop and bounced on the floor.

The cheerful appearance is like the rocket bear that has been bouncing on the sidelines, there to celebrate the upcoming second victory.

Lei Lin, who was hanging from the basket, jumped down directly after shaking it twice.

Looking at the score on the scoreboard, he smiled with satisfaction.

101-97。

With nearly two minutes left in the game, the Rockets led by four points.

After a few minutes of break, Raelin was back on the pitch for the first time feeling the brutality of the playoffs. It was also the first time to understand the difference between the playoffs and the regular season.

The tense nerves, high-intensity confrontation, and the fast pace of the transition between offense and defense made Lei Lin feel a little tired.

"Well done, Ray!"

"You're good at passing the ball!"

Leylin grabbed Maddie and said happily, and the two walked to the sideline with a smile.

Immediately after the dunk, the Nuggets called a timeout.

“GOODJOB!”

Although the Nuggets did not take the lead once in the whole game, the feeling of the Rockets being chased is not something that any player can withstand, and as long as they are not careful, it may directly lead to a collapse. But it's okay, I withstood it.

Looking at the players, Adelman smiled with satisfaction.

But then he restrained his smile.

"But the game isn't over yet, and I need you to keep going and use your defense and offense to overwhelm them with the last straw."

The voice fell, and the pause was over.

Adelman encouraged his players and let them play, and this timeout, he did not make any changes to personnel or tactics.

Fighting around, there is nothing special to adjust in terms of tactics.

I believe that after two games, the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides will be more obvious, and it will depend on who can take the lead in grasping the lifeblood of the other party.

Clang.

Back on the court, the Nuggets' offense hit the ground again.

The crisp sound of a basketball smashing on the basket is a talisman for Nuggets fans.

"In fact, there are pros and cons to the fast attack, the fast attack run in front of it wastes too much physical energy of the players, and now is the time for them to pay off their debts."

Seeing that JR Smith's three points were short, Kenny Smith said excitedly.

Time is running out, so every opportunity to attack should be cherished.

"It's not about paying off debts, it's about the price they pay in pursuit of victory, regardless of the consequences."

In fact, experienced players will allocate their physical strength reasonably in the game. The Nuggets' starters are seasoned players who don't make this kind of mistake easily. The only explanation is that they are overdrawing their physical strength in pursuit of a victory.

Compared to the Nuggets, the Rockets were no better, although they managed to control the rebound after J.R. Smith's shot missed, but the subsequent counterattack also popped up the frame.

"Rebound!"

At the moment when the basketball popped up in the frame, Maddie and Iverson shouted directly, and at the same time they both rushed towards the landing point of the basketball.

The desire for honor and the pursuit of victory motivate them not to miss any opportunity.

Under the basket, Leylin was ready to grab rebounds when JR Smith shot, after all, this is a task he can't let go of on the court.

The moment the basketball popped up in the frame, Lei Lin roughly judged the landing point of the basketball, moved it, and jumped up directly to grab the rebound.

"Be careful."

Before Maddie's words to remind Leylin to grab the rebound had not fallen, Maddie shouted nervously again.

Seeing JR Smith approaching him, Leylin knew that they were trying to reach out and steal the ball the moment he landed.

After taking a look at Maddie's position, he didn't wait for the landing to land, and passed the basketball directly.

Syllable!

A hand appears directly on the route of the pass.

"Oops!"

After screaming, Leylin rushed straight towards the Nuggets' halfcourt. But it still couldn't stop the Nuggets' counterattack.

Seeing Iverson hold his head high and return to defense, Leylin pouted helplessly.

After looking at Maddie apologetically, he returned to the basket again.

101-99。

Iverson's steal followed by a layup made the game suspenseful again.

With more than a minute left, the two-point gap once again gave the Nuggets hope of victory.

"Aaron is truly an indomitable fighter who is obsessed with victory at all times!"

"I have to admire Arun on that, but it's that that makes Arun farther and farther away from the championship, because he can't always give more trust to his teammates, he's always fighting alone."

Playing more than 40 minutes per game in his career is enough to see Allen's fighting spirit.

Although the average number of assists per game was constantly climbing when he was in Philadelphia, the average of nearly 26 shots per game also showed that there was no one available around Iverson.

Although this point has improved after coming to the Nuggets. Although the strength of the Nuggets is much stronger than during the 76ers period, and Iverson also has a lot of super players around him, the vast majority of the scattered Nuggets still rely on solo offense.

"On the contrary, in team basketball, the Rockets did well this year. Rick has also taken team basketball to another level. So in this series, I'm more bullish on the Rockets. ”

After the Rockets served from the baseline, after a series of matches, Maddy finally hit a mid-range shot.

Unlike the Pistons' one-board team basketball, Princeton's offensive system is more fluid and gorgeous. While the Rockets haven't been able to reach the flashiness of the Kings at their peak, at least they don't look so dull.

Stretching the score to three points, the Rockets once again took control of the initiative, especially after the Nuggets didn't play on the subsequent offense, and the outcome of the game was clearer.

After controlling the rebound, Raeling was fouled and sent to the free throw line before he could pass the ball.

After two penalties and two hits, the fruits of victory were in the bag.

"Roar, well done, at the critical moment, Lei stood up, I have to say, this is a reliable guy, two free throws and two hits, directly announced the end of the game."

Kenny Smith directly declared the Rockets victorious with less than a dozen seconds left in the game.

With Iverson missing a three-point shot, the second game of the first round of the playoffs between the Rockets and the Nuggets was officially over.

At 105-99, the Rockets defeated the Nuggets by six points to make it two wins in a row.

While the Rockets have one foot in the Western Conference semifinals, they will have to go through two consecutive road tests, and after two days of rest, the third series between the Rockets and Nuggets will be played at Pepsi Center in Denver.

The 2-0 lead on aggregate once again ignited the excitement of the Toyota Center.

At the end of the game, the whole stadium was full of cheers. Excited fans shouted frantically from the stands like a volcanic eruption, and the scorching energy seemed to melt everything in the Toyota Center.

Thunderlin, who scored 24 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks, became the MVP of the game, and after the game, he was instantly surrounded by reporters.

"In the beautiful stats are not as good as the win of the match, I value the result of the match more than my personal stats!"

In the face of the reporter's interview, Lei Lin talked eloquently there.

"Two wins in a row, 2-0 on aggregate, you have a big advantage, what do you think about the next away game?"

"Two wins in a row? No, it's more than two wins in a row! This is just the beginning of the series, and we will continue to win until we eliminate our opponents! ”
