Chapter 105: Thunder Tiger
The shouts of the fans, the sound of the basketball hitting the ground and the sound of the shoes rubbing against the floor all mingled to make the entire Toyota Center very noisy. The collision between muscles and the scorching score made the atmosphere in the stadium more and more enthusiastic.
Standing under the basket, Lei Lin bowed slightly and spread his hands, one hand on Camby's back, always on guard against Camby, and at the same time, the whole person was constantly observing the running position of the opposing players and the passing of the basketball, and was ready to assist in defense.
Syllable!
Anthony, who stood out on the wing, came to the basket and opened his hand to make a jumper.
Thunderlin, who had been prepared for a long time, certainly wouldn't let go of this great opportunity to block.
With a twist of the waist, a sideways jump, and a direct slap of the basketball flying in the air to the outside of the three-point line, Bobby Jackson on the outside picked up the ball was a fast break, scoring two points for the Rockets.
"Haha, a brilliant counterattack, from a block to a layup score, no more than three seconds in total, the Rockets played a textbook counterattack!"
"Yes, just look at that old man George tugging at the few hairs on his head, this guy is bothered by the attack. In the first half, they could use quick counterattacks to destroy the Rockets' defensive system, but now all he needs to do is how to get the ball to the basket in a positional battle. ”
"No, no, Charles, he doesn't need to worry about that, with Allen and Cameron, George doesn't need to worry about the offense, he should focus more on the defense, the problem is their poor defense."
After Raylin replaced Uncle Mu, it gave the Nuggets players the illusion that they could give the Rockets an inside shot, after all, Raelin's poor performance in the first half was left there.
But after several failed attempts to attack the inside, the Nuggets players realized that Leylin at this time was no longer the Leylin who was kneaded in the first half. However, when this was realized, it was too late, and when the Nuggets failed to attack several times, the Rockets played continuously through patient passing. After all the other strengths, the Rockets finally overtook the score. At 59-55, the Rockets led by four points.
Seemingly aware of a defensive problem, George Karl called a timeout after Bobby Jackson's fast-break layup.
“GOODJOB!”
Looking at Adelman's warm smile, it's hard to associate him with the old man who roared on the sidelines in the first half.
As soon as the Rockets players arrived on the sidelines, they formed a circle and listened to Adelman's tactical adjustments.
After the timeout, players from both sides stepped onto the pitch again.
However, the big surprise is that George Carr's timeout does not seem to be a solution to the defensive problem. He directly replaced the outside defensive guard Kreza and replaced the offensive maniac JR Smith to form a luxurious backcourt attack group.
After the game restarted, although Adelman expected the Nuggets to step up their offense, he also made tactical adjustments. But when you really get to the stadium, facing three guys with excellent attacking power, there are always moments when you lose sight of one or the other.
Iverson took advantage of Camby's cover to shake off Maddie and burst into the basket, and after attracting Battier's defense, he threw the ball directly near the bottom corner, and Smith, who had been waiting in the bottom corner, opened his hand to hit a three-pointer.
Back on the Rockets' offense, Maddy flanked Scola with a screen to the basket and then split the ball into Scola's hands.
Clang.
The ball bounced off the basket and landed directly on the other side of the basket.
Sou.
The moment the basketball popped up in the frame, Lei Lin also jumped up directly, and his hands went directly to the basketball in the air.
"Damn!"
Just as both hands were about to grab the basketball, a large hand touched the lower part of the basketball, and the basketball flew again.
After scolding secretly, Lei Lin didn't wait for his feet to land, his toes were a little more direct, and he jumped up again.
After pointing the basketball to a place that he could control, Lei Lin, who jumped for the third time, really controlled the basketball in his own hands.
"Terrifying explosiveness, three consecutive jumps to grab rebounds, Ray showed his explosiveness to all the audience."
After grabbing the rebound, Railling made a sharp turn and prepared for a layup.
But after dribbling a step, it was blocked by Camby. Raylin, who failed to make a layup, pulled the ball back with his right hand, and at the same time took a step back with his right foot, and after opening the gap between him and Camby, he hooked the basketball with his right hand.
Swish!
"Roar, what do you see? Hook! God, Ray actually developed a new means of attack! ”
Constrained by the offense, Leylin didn't help the team very much on the offensive end. If Leylin does hook up, it's definitely good news for the Rockets.
"Not necessarily, maybe it's just luck."
Barkley rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to say that he didn't believe that Leylin would master the hook technique in such a short period of time. Compared with hook hands, mid-pitch is simpler, but have you seen Lei Lin's mid-pitch?
"Ha, good luck!"
If Leylin heard Barkley's words at this time, he didn't know how to feel.
After high-fives with his teammates, he quickly retreated to the basket to defend.
……
"Smack!"
Under the basket of the Rockets, Camby, who had his back to Relin, shot directly after dodging a gap in the gap.
But as soon as the basketball broke out of his palm, a big hand directly pressed the basket, and the basketball that flew out flashed in front of his eyes and was directly fanned out.
After blocking Camby's shot, Leylin glanced at the basketball after being grabbed by Hyde, and after landing on the ground, he ran directly to the basket.
Missed the opportunity to break fast, and could only fall into positional warfare.
After Maddy's break, the Rockets handed over the offense to the interior.
After coming to halftime, Leylin made a block for Hyde, and when he received Hyde's pass, he looked at Iverson in front of him, although Leylin didn't want to bully people with his back, but he really couldn't find any good way to attack except for back.
"Oh God, I've never seen such a shameless fellow! Charles, I think Ray and you have a fight. ”
"Me?"
Barkley listened to Kenny Smith's words, his face dazed.
"Of course, Charles, Ray is as shameless as you! Oh, of course, but the feeling of being with you for so many years, I think you are even more shameless! ”
The dazed fat face immediately became gloomy......
The Nuggets players in the arena obviously didn't want to see Leylin's shameless behavior succeed, so Camby turned around and prepared to wrap up Leylin as soon as possible.
With Camby harassing on the side, coupled with Iverson's stealing ability, even the two Raylings can't stop it.
So at the moment when Camby turned around, Leylin made a direct return pass, passed the ball to Hyde, and directly assisted Hyde at the top of the free throw line to hit two points.
Rebounds, blocks, assists, scoring, from the third quarter substitution to the fourth quarter, Leylin turned the Nuggets' basket upside down on the court.
Compared with the decadent performance in the first half, Lei Lin in the second half was like a tiger going down the mountain, and no one could stop him.
