Chapter Seventy-Four: Shortcomings
"Sneeze ......"
The sneezing in the corner of the arena was so loud.
After a sound, the basketball rolled directly off the basket, and Uncle Mu reached out and grabbed the rebound in his hand.
"Oh God, no, damn it, if I knew who it was, I promise I wouldn't even fucking know him!"
The fans in the front row of the stadium immediately cursed, in their opinion, the goal did not go in, it was caused by the sneezing.
The sneeze caused an immediate uproar.
But the Suns players didn't think about it that much.
When Uncle Mu handed the ball to Alston, Barbosa directly fouled and stopped the opponent's fast attack.
With 33.9 seconds left on the clock, both sides had a chance to win the match.
Adelman saw that since the opponent had given a foul, he called a timeout.
The atmosphere in the stadium became more and more tense.
"Steady the rhythm and try to foul quickly when you miss the shot at the last moment and can't grab the rebound! Do you understand? ”
"Understood!"
Honk!
The pause came back, and the time came to decide the winner.
The Rockets passed the ball and drained the clock with almost four seconds left when the ball was in Leylin's hands.
"!"
After pushing Xiao Si behind him, Reeling passed the ball directly to Alston.
Swish!
In the face of Nash's defense, Alston hit a direct jumper.
117-114。
The Rockets extended the score with 31.3 seconds left on the clock.
However, before the Rockets had time to rejoice, the Suns served quickly, and Nash rushed directly through the half court with the ball.
After Barbossa's diagonal run to the inside, he ran directly back, shook off Maddie next to him, and shot after receiving the ball.
Swish!
"Roar, pretty, Leonard Barbossa......"
There was a cheer in the West Stadium, and Barbossa's goal gave the Suns hope of winning.
With 11 seconds left, the Rockets, who had a one-point lead, hung in the air.
Adelman called a timeout directly.
"Mike, Bobby, you guys up, DiCambe, Ray, you guys down! Tracy, Sean, Love, your purpose on the court is to delay time with passing and possession, and not giving the opponent any chance to foul, you know? ”
"Understood!"
……
"Roar, the Rockets have fielded a lineup of five small men, and it looks like they're looking to pass and possess the ball to stall for time......"
Near the halfline, four Rockets players, nestled together.
As soon as the whistle sounded, it was like fireworks, and it spread in all directions.
Battier handed the ball to Maddy without waiting for the opposing defender to be in place, and threw it directly to Alstom, the Rockets' player, by quickly transferring the ball and not giving the opponent a chance to foul.
Beep!
But in the end, he was caught up by Barbossa, and the speed of the Brazilian lightning was really not covered, and after Harris got the ball, he rushed up and hugged him directly.
Although Barbossa's foul was successful, time was running out for the Suns.
0.8 seconds, lore is only a theoretical possibility.
The Suns' hope of winning is not much, and compared to the excitement of the previous second, the West Jersey Arena is much quieter at the moment.
However, there was still a lot of boos in the arena when Harris walked to the free-throw line, and they hoped to interfere with Harris.
Swish!
Swish!
Two free throws were hit.
Time is running out for the Suns.
D'Antoni called a short timeout before the match resumed.
After the Suns served, Barbosa made a quick shot from the outside.
Honk!
After Barbossa's shot, the time for the game was up.
The basketball that flies in the air carries the hope of the Suns.
Clang!
The basketball that smashed on top of the basket ejected directly out of bounds.
There was jubilation on the Rockets bench, for them, this was an earth-shattering reversal, the game that had been given up, actually turned around and won!
19 points and 9 boards, although Leylin and O'Neal couldn't score against each other, but at least they brushed a lot of points on the heads of Xiao Si and Dior, at least the data is not so ugly.
After a brief celebration with his teammates on the pitch, he returned to the locker room.
"Hey Ray, how do you feel?"
"What does it feel?"
Lei Lin looked at Uncle Mu with a confused expression.
"Score on Shaq's head!"
"Haha......"
Listening to Uncle Mu's words, Lei Lin laughed directly.
But when I think about it, I only cut two points on O'Neill's head, how does it feel?
"I don't know, the score is too little!"
"YO, you can't be too greedy, I remember Yao, the first time I played against him, I only cut ten points in the whole game, compared to him, you can cut nineteen points, it's already a good list!"
"NO, it's different, Yao's side didn't have you by his side at that time, but I had you by my side!"
Compared with Cato, Uncle Mu is obviously more reliable.
After taking a shower, Raeling sat in the dressing room and continued to chat with the players, when he was suddenly interrupted by Adelman.
"Ray, come with me to the press conference!"
There are no games tomorrow and the players have experienced back-to-back games, so in order to give the players a better rest, it was decided to have a night of rest in Phoenix tonight and return to Houston tomorrow.
When he came to the press conference, Lei Lin said hello to the reporters very skillfully.
"Hello Ray, how do you feel about Shaq?"
"Terrible! He's a Big Mac! I can't score from him! He's suffocating on the inside! ”
This is the real feeling of Leylin in the game, facing O'Neill on the court, Leylin really couldn't shoot, so he simply didn't shoot.
"But you scored nineteen points in this game?"
"Well, it's all luck!"
Leylin looked at the reporter and replied with a smile.
"There's a report about you that says you're only going to play downwind, you're only going to be a blue-collar player, what do you think about that?"
"As you can see, although I have a single offensive approach now, I can clearly say that I will never be a blue-collar player, and in the future, I will have my own attacking means! As for the tailwind, I just want to say it's Billingbury's personal opinion because we did so well during that time that when I came out, the team was already leading by a big margin. But as you can see in today's game, we were 20 points behind you, but as a result, we won! This is a great victory! ”
While Billingberry had a point, Ralling felt the need to fight back! I do look like a blue-collar player now, but it's definitely not just a tailwind.
"I heard that you and the Rockets only have to make an appointment until the end of the season, so where will you be next season?"
"Who knows? We'll only find out until next season starts! ”
Rylin said with a smile that he didn't know he would be there for next season.
"So what's possible?"
"You can say the same thing!"
"So will you come to Phoenix? Will he join the Suns? ”
"The Suns are a great team, but I'm playing for the Rockets right now! I think it's better to wait until the end of the season to talk about next season! ”
……
After the press conference, Leylin followed Adelman back to the hotel.
After a night's rest, I flew straight back to Houston the next day.
After two back-to-backs, along with the road trip, Adelman did not train that afternoon, instead sending his players back to rest.
However, Leylin stayed and practiced with Sicoma in his company.
After the games against Garnett and O'Neal, Raining felt that his offensive approach was too one-pieced, and if he continued like this, when his skills were formed, he would really only be able to become a blue-collar player.
Turn around and jump shot, turn around and jump shot, so Lei Lin stayed in the training hall for an afternoon, and it was not until after five o'clock that Lei Lin left the training hall.
"Yo, the big star is back!"
Back at home, listening to his uncle's teasing, Leylin smiled.
"By the way, this newspaper has been saying that you don't play well, what's going on? I see you score or something, that's good! ”
Lei Zheng doesn't know much about basketball.
"Nothing! Do you believe the words of the media? ”
Relin opened the newspaper and took a brief look at it, and knew that the report was written by Billingberry.
The offensive means are single, the shot is stiff, and the ability to predict the position is almost none, just relying on a passion to fight there.
Looking at Billingberry's evaluation, Leylin felt like he had found a soulmate.
"I didn't expect this guy to know me so well, it seems that he has put a lot of effort into it!"
After muttering, Leylin entered the room with the newspaper.
"Uncle, I'll go back to the room first!"
"Well, okay, don't forget to come to the restaurant at seven o'clock!"
"Got it!"
Leylin entered the room and took a closer look at Billingberry's article.
"Offense and defense must be systematically trained! It seems that there is no time to rest this summer! ”
After reading the newspaper, Lei Lin realized that he had so many loopholes, and after muttering, Lei Lin sighed.
