One Zero Zero: About Brushing Rebounds
100: About rebounding
"Doug, now we need you to control the inside. In the next time, I don't want to see New Yorkers storm in our paint area. Now their feel has been reduced. I think you should know how to do it!" O'Brien told Rachel this way before he took the stage.
"I will never let the New Yorker's basketball fly over my head!" Rachel stepped onto the court after giving a firm guarantee.
Iverson made the free throw steadily, now leading New York with five minutes left.
After the New York Knicks brought the basketball to the frontcourt, they did not continue to choose to shoot outside. In this way, the probability of Rachel grabbing the rebound is much less. After all, everyone knows the closer they are to the basket, the higher the shooting rate.
After Marbury brought the basketball to the backcourt, he did not choose to play alone, but passed the ball to Crawford. After Crawford received the ball, he ignored everything else and directly accelerated and passed the old Aaron McGee.
There is no way, Rachel has to make up. As an insider, you must have the awareness of wiping your butt. Pressing Cott Thomas faced Crawford head-on. Crawford rushed to Rachel, suddenly stopped suddenly, then his shoulders trembled violently, and his hands pressed behind his legs to dribble back and forth. (It is recommended to watch Crawford's dribble video, which should be considered the best move in the NBA to use street balls in actual combat!)
Two of Rachel's five fouls were taken by this move. Every time, he made a foul because of a mistake in judgment.
Crawford suddenly jumped. This time, Rachel finally made the right judgment and followed, but she was not in a hurry to take off. After Crawford did not shake Rachel up for two consecutive points, he finally chose a small throw.
As soon as Crawford made a move, Rachel immediately jumped up and stretched out her terrifying long arm to slap the basketball.
Bang! The fingertip hit the lower edge of the basketball. After this blow, the basketball immediately changed its flight track. After Rachel landed, he quickly bounced up and took off the basketball under the attack of Cott Thomas and Crawford, and then threw one to the frontcourt. Iverson received the ball and made a layup to solve the attack.
After Marbury brought the ball over, he still broke through the basket. This time, Rachel did not block the basketball, but interfered with the shooting. The basketball hit the basket, and Rachel pressed Mohammed and Cott Thomas to make a rebound. In the end, Philadelphia added another two points through Aaron McGee's mid-range shot, widening the gap to six points.
The third time, Cott Thomas attacked the basket, Rachel died and then Iverson successfully raided. Finally, the aerial relay with Rachel expanded the score to eight points. At the same time, Rachel also won his eleventh point in the game.
The fourth time, Marbury missed a strong shot, Rachel made a rebound. Iverson broke through the basket and caused Hardaway to foul. One of the two free throws, Rachel scored the rebound out of the penalty area, Aaron McGee took the ball and shot, and the score expanded to eleven points.
The fifth time, Marbury finally broke through the basket and caused Rachel to foul, but at this time, New York was already in a desperate situation and was defeated.
In the end, the Sixers won the ups and downs with 102:94, Rachel scored 11 points, 34 rebounds, five blocks, six fouls and three assists, and her return first game data shocked the entire league.
During the post-match press conference, Jim O'Brien said that the brightest star tonight belonged to Doug Rachel.
Iverson praised Doug Rachel as the most talented player he has ever met. At the same time, he felt that Doug Rachel should be invited to participate in the rookie tournament, and he was eligible for a plane ticket to Denver in this game tonight.
Marbury also praised Rachel, who contributed three of them alone even if Rachel blocked five shots. He predicted that Doug Rachel would become the second-ranked player born in New York, and it goes without saying that he ranked first.
New York's Thousand Wins coach Lanny Wilkens praised Rachel as a rookie who can change the game with defense and has a bright future.
Rachel himself did not comment too much on his performance in this game, but he repeatedly emphasized that he should not be punished by Six, and he felt that he was treated unfairly.
However, when it comes to this statement, Rachel is scolding the players who are out of place. They think that Rachel should be sent off in the first quarter. At the same time, they are in a unified manner and claim that Rachel is the dirtiest inside player in the league.
Mohammed, who was so shameless by Rachel that he claimed that Rachel was the best player in the league to beat rebounds, because Rachel would click or even hit the rebound almost every time he grabbed the rebound at the basket, which would increase the data that originally had only one rebound to two or three.
After the game, the media of the major Black Rachel also focused Mohammed's words as the focus of hype, and turned a blind eye to Rachel's contribution on the defensive end.
Headlines such as "The Rookie with the Strongest Rebounding Ability? The Actor with the Strongest Rebounding Ability?" "Doug Rachel tells you how to make thirty-four rebounds", "Thirty-six Ways to Brush Board Doug Rachel, Rookie Doug Rachel's Answer to You" have been in major newspapers and online media for a long time.
Rachel himself did not comment on this.
But Iverson ruthlessly mocked Mohammed in an interview: "Brush the board? Well, if that guy in New York can click the basketball on the rebound two or three times in front of two or three opponents without being robbed, I admit that it is a brush board. If not, please shut up, because the loser has no reason to complain."
Barkley and Rodman, two old men who are unwilling to be lonely, also jumped out to express their opinions.
"That's definitely not considered a board brush. That can only be said that the opponent is too weak. I think if Doug meets Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Shake O'Neal, even the big guy in Houston, he wouldn't have so many opportunities to click the basketball on the rebound and then jump and take off the rebound, because that's too difficult." Barkley said.
"Brush the board? If he had this ability, no one would stop him. I was talking about the loser. By the way, how was my clothes designed today?" At a performance art event, Rodman commented on the latest current affairs of the NBA while showing his colorful clothes.
