Chapter 31: Only one assist is missing
"Bang!"
After a loud bang, the first quarter ended with the referee's whistle.
Two consecutive blocks directly curbed the offensive momentum of the Pacers, and the subsequent offensive Pacers only floated on the outside, completely giving up rebounds, although the shooting percentage in the first quarter was good, remaining around 50%, but at the end of the first quarter, the Rockets still widened the difference.
At 38-27, the Rockets returned to the sidelines with an eleven-point advantage.
In the first quarter, Leylin scored six points and grabbed four rebounds, plus three assists and two blocks as the team's playmaker.
One is Guy Murphy's, and the second is Guy Granger's.
After Murphy was blocked, Granger seemed to want to break the interior defense of Railling and Landry, and rushed directly into it with the basketball, and one step inside the free throw line, Granger jumped directly to dunk, with an unstoppable stance.
It's just that Raylin didn't let go of Granger, and was forced in the air, fanning the basketball belt in Granger's hand, and also crashing into Granger, making the little boss of the Pacers extremely embarrassing.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Rockets replaced the main players Maddy, Battier and Alston with Hyde, Bobby Jackson, and Novak. Coupled with Leylin and Landry on the court, there is a feeling of one big and four small, and it seems that he can play more Princeton's style of play.
After the game began, the Pacers still focused on the outside, and they hit two three-pointers in a row to narrow the difference.
This completely infuriated Leylin.
As an interior player, he followed the opponent's Murphy out when he was defending, and directly lost the opportunity to protect the rebound. It was the loss of the opportunity to protect the rebound that the opponent hit two three-pointers in a row.
When it was the Rockets' turn to attack, Leylin did not act as an organizer this time, and went directly down to Murphy, who was behind him, and started to play alone.
Facing the softer Murphy, Leylin pushed it twice and got close to the basket!
"Ahh
Pressing Murphy, Railling directly forced a dunk.
"Wow, Reggie, do you see? Raylin: Is this trying to destroy Murphy? Look at how pathetic Murphy is! ”
Barkley sighed and looked at Murphy.
"Shut your foul mouth, of course not, a great pitcher can't be destroyed by a dunk!"
Although Reggie Miller didn't want to admit this fact, Murphy's touch did take a big toll on the later games.
In the face of Raelin's defense, it is understandable that he misses the shot.
But if you miss the shot in the open position, you can't say anything.
In the second quarter, Murphy made a total of five shots, none of which hit, and it has to be said that his touch was destroyed by a dunk from Leylin.
The Pacers head coach then replaced Murphy with Jeff Foster.
This white center doesn't have as good a touch as Murphy, and to be able to stand in the NBA, Foster mainly relies on his rebounding ability.
At the same time that Foster was on the court, the Pacers also switched to the team's pitcher, which made it obvious that the goal today was a shot, and then Foster grabbed the board under the basket.
I have to say that Foster is indeed a rebounding powerhouse, averaging only more than 20 minutes per game, and can grab 3.4 frontcourt rebounds, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
But Pacers head coach Jim O'Brien underestimated Raelin's rebounding ability.
Although in the first two games, Leylin's rebounding ability did not reach a double-double, not that his rebounding ability was not strong, on the contrary, Leylin's rebounding ability was still very good. Of course, this excellence relies on Leylin's excellent physical fitness, rather than judging the basketball landing point.
So the Pacers made a mistake.
Raelin played 7 minutes in the second quarter, and he grabbed 6 rebounds alone, plus 4 rebounds in the first quarter, and at the halfway point of the game, the rebounds were double-doubled.
But Raelin scored 2 points in the second quarter, or by forcing Murphy, but Raelin delivered a total of 5 assists in the second quarter.
By the time Leylin went off the court, the Rockets were 58-40 and had an eighteen-point lead.
By the end of the second quarter, the Rockets were 66-49 and had a seventeen-point lead.
"Good first half, lads! The rebounds were very well controlled, well done. The second half continues, let's create our own history together! ”
"Good!"
Records are meant to be broken!
There is no doubt about that, so they need to build on their efforts in the second half to seal the win and then create their own winning streak!
But at the beginning of the third quarter, the Rockets played very hard.
After halftime, the Pacers found their touch again, and after the game began, they hit consecutive shots to narrow the score to just nine points.
Seeing that the situation seemed to be somewhat out of control, Adelman called a timeout.
Replaced by Leylin, who had been well rested.
During the time when Leylin was sitting on the bench, Murphy used his movement speed and shooting touch to deliver four assists there and score four points, directly destroying Uncle Mu!
After getting on the field, Leylin went straight to Murphy.
With his back to Murphy, he asked for the ball directly there.
Alston didn't find any breakthrough on the outside, and stuffed the ball directly to Rayling on the inside.
In the face of Murphy, Leylin directly began to be beaten!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Every time the basketball hit the ground, Leylin pushed it back.
The huge pressure made Murphy feel like crying, and in order to resist Leylin, Murphy's face turned red there.
"Look, this guy Leylin really has the style I had back then! If I have time, I think I'd be more than happy to talk to this little guy! ”
Looking at Murphy's flushed face, Barkley said with a smile on his face!
Back singles, which one is stronger, is none other than Flying Pig Barkley!
But Raylin didn't care about Murphy's feelings behind him, he pushed it twice, and after seeing the arc of the reasonable collision area on the ground, Raylin relied on Murphy to turn around and jump dunk directly.
The impact of Raylin's dunk directly pushed Murphy to the basket and pushed him out of bounds.
"Oh oh oh, what a nice job, Leylin taught Murphy another lesson with a dunk! Well, at the beginning of the third quarter, Murphy has already scored four points and four assists, I don't know what kind of performance will be there next? ”
The fans cheered loudly after seeing Raelin's violent performance.
Murphy's previous assists and scoring gave them a glimpse of how powerful the big white man is.
So you can imagine how excited you are to see Leylin ravage him like this.
But this is not over, the referee blew the whistle at the moment of Raelin's dunk to block the foul, and Raelin has to add a free throw.
"Bang!"
The basketball smashed directly into the basket with a crisp sound, and Leylin's free throw did not go in. The rebound was directly taken by Foster on the other side.
Looking at the rebounds that were taken away, Leylin shook his head, it seemed that this shooting training had to continue.
"Raylin's dunk is very violent, and the free throw basket is also very violent, I really don't know if the basket can withstand his destruction!"
Barkley was there teasing Railling's free throw.
"yes, I seem to remember Sir Charles's free throws! We've got another stat here, do you want to see your great free-throw percentage? ”
Reggie Miller's words made Barkley eat a deflated!
But when it comes to the stats, Barkley took a look at the stats of Raelin's game.
"Oh man, speaking of stats, I think I'm going to take a look at Raelin's stats, what an amazing lad, he's already done his first double-double in the league!"
Barkley's words directly attracted Reggie Miller's attention.
Reggie Miller then called up Raelin's stats for this game, which is 10 points and 10 rebounds so far!
"Charles, I don't think what Leylin got was the first double-double, most likely the first triple-double!"
Reggie Miller had just finished speaking, and when he looked up, he saw that Reiling passed the ball to the open Scola, who hit a solid shot!
"Now it's just one assist away from his triple-double!"
