"With both sides switching to their main lineups, it seems that the Rockets want to take advantage of the win and continue to expand the score before halftime to ensure the victory. And the Spurs will not be willing to fall behind, the Rockets are in excellent form in this game, and if the Spurs do not play up before halftime, this game could be lost, which is not allowed by the San Antonios. ”

The game resumed, and the Rockets served from the baseline. After half-time, Alston handed the ball straight to Maddie on the flank.

Bruce Bowen, the league's black-forward swingman, is still responsible for defending Maddie in this game. However, in the first quarter of the game, Bowen's defense did not do particularly well, and with Raylin's blocking, Bowen was only able to watch Maddie get an easy shot there most of the time.

4-of-7 shooting, 3-of-3 free throws, and Maddie scored 12 points in the first quarter alone.

This statistic is an insult to Bowen.

In the early years of playing in overseas leagues, Bowen has developed an excellent defensive ability.

Since then, with this defensive skill, he has established himself in the NBA. And with the Spurs winning three championships, they have been in the best defensive team for the past four seasons.

The stars who have been terminated by Bowen, or who have been calculated by Bowen, can form an All-Star team.

Similarly, Maddie was once one of the victims of Bowen's dark defense.

Although Maddie averaged nearly a triple-double in the first two games, Bowen's defense was undoubtedly successful. Because his presence makes it more difficult for Maddie to score.

While Bowen's defense hasn't been successful every time, his seriousness has been consistent throughout every game throughout the season.

At the moment when Maddie catches the ball. Bowen appeared right in front of Maddie and jammed the outside so that Maddie could only look for a breakaway shot from near the baseline.

That's where Bowen's defensive cleverness lies.

He doesn't have the physicality to defend the league's top perimeter attackers with his body throughout the season, so he'll often set traps in games, lead opponents into traps, and then finish their offense.

When Bowen appears next to Maddie. Leylin and Maddie looked at each other, then nodded imperceptibly.

Maddie held the ball directly towards the baseline and broke through, and Bowen followed Maddy's side inch by inch. With her arms outstretched, one hand was constantly interfering in front of Maddie, while the other hand was placed on Maddie's soft waist, kneading constantly. Subtle movements. If you don't look closely, it's impossible to perceive at all.

Especially in the heat of the game, where both sides are moving fast, it is even less likely that the referee will notice those subtle movements.

Under Bowen's entanglement, Maddie still broke through quickly with the ball, and when he was about to approach the paint area, Duncan directly blocked Maddy's way.

Bag clip!

There's no way Popovich can let Maddie continue to score easily.

The miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes, for Maddie and even for the Rockets. It's a glorious moment to remember. But for the Spurs, for Popovich. It was a bitter night, a moment of shame for them.

As a superstar, Maddie doesn't easily put herself in a passive predicament, leaning back to Bowen and slapping the basketball there quickly, while quickly observing the position of his teammates and waiting for an opportunity to pass the ball.

And as a smart defender, two of the league's best defensive players won't let Maddie easily send the ball out.

Duncan's huge defensive area directly blocked Maddy's forward passing route, while Bowen's left hand was there waiting for an opportunity to steal, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.

The moment Leylin went to Duncan to help defend, he moved, slipped directly from the basket, and came behind Bowen from Maddie's side when Maddie was caught in the bag.

Syllable.

The moment Bowen reached out to steal, Maddie retracted his right hand and threw it directly back.

"Beautiful!"

After taking the basketball, Leylin couldn't help but roar secretly.

"He deserves to be the most talented player in the league."

Although Maddy averaged less than 5 assists per game in his career, it is not to be overlooked that Maddy's passing ability.

Lei Lin, who took over the basketball, did not choose to shoot by himself, but turned around directly and leaned his back against the basket.

……

"You should shoot directly! This is an empty position, even if the shooting ability is poor, it should be shot directly. What is the purpose of Leylin's this? ”

In the studio of the Beijing CCTV Sports Channel, Mr. Zhang Weiping watched Lei Lin turn around with his back to the basket with the basket, and his face was puzzled, "Does Lei Lin want to play with his back?" This doesn't make sense! ”

But Team Rocket's next move directly made people understand why Leylin did this.

After passing the ball out, Maddie rolled over and rushed straight past Bowen.

In the face of Maddie's move, Bowen was not slow to react, and immediately turned around and chased after him.

Boom!

But he didn't take two steps before he hit Leylin's back.

At this time, Maddie had already arrived in front of Leylin, and after taking the basketball hand by hand, he pulled it out directly.

Swish!

"Beautiful. But this style of play does not seem to be reasonable, not only cumbersome, but also very risky, although it creates a chance for Maddie to score, but at the same time loses the protection of rebounds. ”

As an experienced manager, Adelman certainly recognises this.

Although Ryling stayed away from the basket, it looked like the Rockets had lost their protection for the rebound. But those who look closely will find that Sean Battier and Scola immediately moved closer to the basket when Leylin was running, apparently in preparation to protect the rebound.

The slightly cumbersome but smooth offense looks pleasing to the eye, and the Rockets continue to pull the score up under such an offense. The Spurs, on the other hand, were clinging to the score. Catch up unhurriedly.

Under the help of making a wall to cover his teammates, although Leylin's score is not conspicuous, but unconsciously. Assists are rising one by one.

Swish!

After receiving the ball on the weak side, although he blocked Bowen, he did not hand the basketball to Maddy, but threw the ball directly to Battier outside the three-point line.

Because when Maddie successfully got rid of Bowen, Finley directly left Battier and rushed to Maddie's side.

Battier, who received the ball in the open space, calmly adjusted before throwing the ball. The basketball crossed an arc and plunged headlong into the blue frame.

"Aha, nice three. Leylin's pass is very reasonable, if it is passed to Maddie, it is likely to be steal by Finley, who is making up for the defense, and it can be seen from this pass that Leylin's overall view is still quite good. Compared to Warcraft Howard. I believe that the future of Leylin will be brighter. ”

After the '03 draft golden generation. The '04 draft was a bit bleak. As the so-called short man chooses a general, he takes advantage of the short.

Although Howard averaged a double-double in his first season in the league, there was nothing to praise other than excellent defensive and rebounding ability. The so-called offense is nothing more than a strong hit under the basket, or a dunk.

In this regard, Leylin and Howard have a lot of similarities.

It's just that compared to Howard, Leylin's strategy at times seems a little more reliable.

"Yes. Of course, the premise is that Leylin has to improve every season, after a few years of thrashing. Warcraft is no longer what it used to be. Back in the game, the assist that Raelin gave to Battier was his sixth assist of the game, and I'm looking forward to a double-double at the end of the game. ”

Swish!

Inside the AT&T Center, Maddie hit another three-pointer from the outside.

With less than two minutes left in the second quarter, 59-49, the Rockets led by 10 points.

Clang.

Ginobili's outside three-pointer smashed directly into the basket.

Syllable!

Leylin clicked with one hand, then jumped and grabbed the basketball firmly with both hands.

"Beautiful rebound, this is Raelin's fifth rebound, although Raelin's score is still stuck at three points, maybe in this game, we can see another double-double."

The Rockets' counterattack is still initiated by Maddie.

At Maddy's side with the ball, Bowen stuck to it. It's like a soft and boneless rattan, and you can't shake it off.

Bursting into the three-point line, Maddie suddenly made a sudden stop and changed direction, directly deceiving Bowen's center of gravity.

Then a stride rushed directly past Bowen's side like a gust of wind, and he went straight to the basket.

“FUCK！”

Maddie, who rushed up, felt his body stunned, and immediately cursed, and then threw the basketball directly towards the basket.

At the moment when Maddie rushed past Bowen, Bowen still didn't hold back his worst little hand, and directly reached out and pulled Maddy's jersey.

Beep!

The obvious foul action did not escape the referee's eyes, and the whistle sounded in time.

Swish!

The basketball bounced on the basket and then got into the basket.

"Two plus one, Bowen's foul didn't stop Maddie's goal!"

Although the basketball was sent into the basket, Maddie, who was in the air, also fell heavily to the floor after sending the ball out because of the unstable center of gravity.

Immediately clutched his left shoulder in pain.

"Oops!"

Thinking of Maddie's left shoulder injury against the Kings, Leylin screamed and rushed directly to the basket.

"Your uncle!"

Grabbing Bowen's jersey and clenching his fists, he was ready to greet Bowen.

Bowen's foul, to Maddie's injury and falling to the ground, to Raylin's fist movement, the sudden change, many people did not react.

Adelman's brow furrowed the moment Maddie fell to the ground.

Seeing that the impulsive Leylin clenched his fist and hit Bowen in the face, he immediately shouted.

"Beat that guy to death for me......" (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you for the monthly pass support of Nirvana!

Thank you very much, by the way, that brother, can you have two more!

"Bang!"

Leylin's casserole-sized fist was shoved directly into the giant's face.

"I'll let you ask for a monthly pass, I'll let you ask for a monthly pass!"

Looking at the giant slumped on the floor, Lei Lin said arrogantly.

"If there is a kind of you who vote, you vote for a monthly ticket, and I will give the giant ten punches, uncle, until now, Lao Tzu is still a virgin! Depend on! ”

"Still moving there? I'll let you draw, I'll let you draw ......"

Looking at the giant lying on the floor, holding his fingers and drawing something there, Leylin kicked directly on the giant's body a few times, and then turned around and left in style......

After Lei Lin left, he only saw a few blood-red words left on the floor - asking for a monthly pass! Ask for a subscription!
