Chapter 124: Good Words
The moment the orange basketball flew towards the basket in the air, the red light on the rebound and the beeping sound symbolizing the end of the game sounded.
In the silence of the Toyota Center, the eyes of more than 10,000 spectators were all focused on the orange and red.
Maddie, who maintained a shooting position in the air, stared at the basketball with a burning gaze in her eyes.
It was as if time had stood still in this moment.
Clang.
After a long flight, the basketball smashed directly into the hoop and bounced high.
"Oh, it's a shame that Team Rocket missed the last chance."
The moment the basketball bounced, there was a sigh in the court.
Barkley, who was sitting on the commentator's seat, also had a look of regret.
At 84-86, the Rockets missed the chance to shoot and the Spurs won a set on the road to make the overall score 1-1. The two sides will move to San Antonio next, and it is clear that the Rockets have lost the initiative, and for them, the next two road games will be especially important. ”
At the end of the game, Kenny Smith, Ross Barkley and Reggie Miller, who were sitting in the commentary seats, were there to sum up the game.
"Yes, but compared to the Rockets losing a game, I think it's more important that Ray get back to his form in time."
Looking at the somewhat dejected Leylin on the sidelines, Barkley said with some concern.
From the peak to the trough, there are many tests for players, not only to endure internal struggles, but also to face external pressure.
From the highlight performance against the Nuggets to the slump at this time, Leylin is being tested like never before.
"As long as Reelin can get back to his best form, and Tracy is in hot form, I think they have the capital to compete on the road, and even throughout the playoffs."
"No, Charles, I think you're taking it for granted, even if Raining is back to his best, they're still no match for the Spurs."
Compared to Barkley's positive attitude towards the Rockets, Reggie Miller is much more negative.
"Since 2002, the Spurs have won three championships under the leadership of the troika, and the team's lineup has not changed very much, and they are very familiar with each other. Although the Rockets, under Rick's leadership, have played the best record in recent years, but the luck component has taken up the vast majority. At the same time, Rick's understanding of the team is definitely not as good as Greg, who has coached the Spurs for more than ten years, so in terms of familiarity with the players and the team's ability to control the team, Rick is definitely not as good as Greg. This will be the key to winning or losing the game. ”
From the level of cooperation between the players and the coach, Reggie Miller directly denied Barkley's view.
Although the outcome of each game has a lot to do with the performance of the players, a team that knows each other well and understands each other will definitely be more likely to win.
……
The sluggish performance in the two games left Leylin a little upset.
Sitting in front of the closet, Leylin let the sweat run down his face.
6 points and 8 boards, 7 points and 5 boards, this is the data handed over by Lei Lin in these two games.
For this data, Leylin didn't particularly care, he was more concerned about his weak performance against Duncan in the game.
Defend, can't defend, attack, can't attack.
As one of the greatest power forwards in the game, Duncan appears in various videos as a background male, seemingly mocking Duncan's greatness there.
Similarly, Duncan has been named to the All-Defensive Team every season, making it nine consecutive selections so far, and if nothing else, he will be named to the All-Defensive Team this season. But every season he always misses out on the best defensive player. This one seems to be a mockery of Duncan's defensive ability.
But no one who has played against Duncan has ever questioned Duncan's defensive ability.
As long as Duncan is under the basket, he can put a lot of pressure on any opponent on the defensive end.
On the offensive end, Duncan's stats are not as bright as Nowitzki's, but his offensive ability is not inferior to that of any power forward. Surviving in team basketball, the Spurs, although Duncan is the team's first point of attack, he doesn't need to be there alone. What's more, this is also something that Vicky can't tolerate.
As long as you underestimate Duncan's offensive ability, then you will definitely suffer in the end.
"Everyone did a good job in this game, and tomorrow we will go back and have a good rest."
Walking into the dressing room, Adelman was immediately there clapping his hands and loudly encouraging the players.
Judging from the scene of this game, the Rockets are not lagging behind. Adelman also has a positive mindset for the entire series, believing he can beat Vicky and Spurs.
"Ray, rest well and don't think too much about it. By the way, I heard you're moving? ”
Listening to Adelman's words, Leylin smiled slightly.
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, congratulations. Take advantage of the opportunity to move, relax, I need an energetic ray. ”
"Got it, sir."
Adelman left the locker room straight away.
Looking at Adelman's back, Leylin slowly clenched his fists.
……
"Is there anything missing?"
In front of a house in Chinatown, Leylin is stuffing his luggage into the trunk of his car.
Lei Zheng hurried out of the room with a notebook in his hand and a pen in his ear.
"Hehe, uncle, in fact, it's not far away, it's just that something is missing, just come back and get it when the time comes."
Lei Lin looked at his uncle's anxious appearance and said with a smile. Then the trunk was closed directly.
"Uncle, it's time for me to go."
After looking at the time, Lei Lin felt that he should pick up Qin Dongmei.
"By the way, uncle, you and aunt, come over for dinner together at noon, I booked a restaurant."
"Got it!"
After finishing speaking, Lei Lin got into the car directly, drove directly to Uptown, and after picking up Qin Dongmei, the two put their luggage in the new house and went to the University of Houston.
"You'd better wait for me in the car."
When he arrived at the University of Houston, Lei Lin was ready to go to Qin Dongmei's dormitory together, but he was directly rejected.
"It will cause unnecessary trouble."
Qin Dongmei looked at Lei Lin's unhappy appearance and explained.
"Well, I'll be waiting for you here!"
Lei Lin listened to Qin Dongmei's words and did not force it.
After sitting in the car and waiting for nearly twenty minutes, Lei Lin saw Qin Dongmei walking out of the school gate with a suitcase and a bag on her back.
"I'll do it!"
After getting out of the car, Lei Lin walked over directly and took the luggage in Qin Dongmei's hand.
"Let's clean up first, we will eat together at noon, my uncle and aunt will come together."
"Yes!"
RETURNING TO THE HOUSE IN AFTONOAKS IN UPTOWN, LEI LIN AND QIN DONGMEI CLEANED UP BRIEFLY, AND AFTER WAITING FOR THEIR UNCLE AND AUNT TO ARRIVE, THE FOUR OF THEM WENT DIRECTLY TO THE RESTAURANT.
……
"I haven't played well in the last two games, is there a lot of pressure?"
After lunch, Lei Lin went straight back to his new home to sleep.
After an afternoon's rest, Leylin felt much more relaxed.
After picking up Qin Dongmei from work, she went directly to the vegetable market.
"It's fine! I'm not under a lot of pressure, but I can't deal with Duncan's guy and I'm a little troubled. ”
After tasting a bite of the boiled fish fillet made by Qin Dongmei, Lei Lin smacked his lips.
"Well, it's delicious, and the craftsmanship is good."
"Really? Then you eat a little more, and I will often make it for you in the future. ”
"Yes, good!"
As he spoke, Lei Lin took a few more slices and put them in his mouth.
"No player is invincible, even O'Neal, at the beginning of his career, wasn't he taught a bad lesson? The most important thing is to learn from failures and grow wisely. ”
While speaking, Qin Dongmei served another dish.
"As long as you do your best in the competition, it's not terrible to fail, it's terrible that you can't stand up after you fail!"
After tasting a bite of the food, Leylin put down his chopsticks and fell into deep thought.
"Indeed, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is not being able to stand up!"
After pondering for a while, Leylin said with a smile.
But whether you can stand up or not depends on the next game!
