"I heard that this Chinese guy is terrible at shooting. Let's see how he replicates it this time." A fan said proudly.
"Crawford can do whatever he can do. Let him shoot this time."
"A guy who can't even shoot the ball, I really don't understand how he got into the NBA."
…
Listening to the fans' attack on Wen Hao, Crawford grinned and said, "If you have the guts, you can take one."
Wen Hao frowned slightly. It was indeed difficult for him to shoot. Although he had been practicing shooting recently, his shooting percentage was getting higher and higher in training, but it couldn't be lower on the field. He also understood that,
This is a psychological problem, a lack of self-confidence. But self-confidence is accumulated from shooting shots one after another. It is not something he says he has. As a substitute, he does not have so many opportunities to take shots, so his self-confidence is limited.
There is no way to add up.
Howard didn't understand and just said to Wen Hao: "Wen Hao, you did a great job just now. Just like this, give him another shot and completely defeat that kid."
Wen Hao smiled bitterly, took the serve, and moved it to the frontcourt. Facing Crawford's defense, he slowly began to change direction.
"Vote one." Someone from the audience shouted, and other spectators immediately followed suit: "Vote one, vote one, vote one..."
When the commentator Lawler saw this, he laughed twice and said: "It is undeniable that Rockets No. 5 does have talent. He copied every one of Crawford's breakthroughs exactly, but this time, Ke
Lawford shoots, let’s see how he replicates it.”
At this time, Crawford listened to the shouts of the audience and smiled proudly. He made a "please" gesture to Wen Hao and imitated the tone of the fans and said: "Vote one."
Wen Hao's brows furrowed again. Shooting was really a rush for him. He turned his head and glanced at Paul on the sidelines, only to see Paul looking at him with a smile.
Seeing Paul's smile, Wen Hao gritted his teeth and thought: My goal is to defeat Paul today, how can I be stumped by a Crawford? I just shoot, and in the worst case, I miss a ball. That way I
He also made four out of five shots, and his efficiency was far better than Paul's, which was enough to defeat him.
Thinking of this, Wen Hao's dribbling with his hips suddenly turned into a change of direction behind his back.
When the audience saw this, they were silent at first, obviously not expecting that this Chinese would really dare to attack in the way he was least good at.
But the next moment they all breathed a sigh of relief. The Chinese attacked in the way he was least good at, so the ball would probably not be scored, and the Clippers would have the opportunity to widen the point difference.
Crawford saw Wen Hao hesitate before starting to dribble. He also understood Wen Hao's mentality. He immediately smiled and blocked Wen Hao. Although he knew that Wen Hao probably couldn't make the shot, he still had to
Just be careful, if this Chinese guy gets lucky, he will regret it to death.
Under the attention of the whole audience, the ball behind Wen Hao first dribbled to the left, then to the right. The next moment, his dribbling speed suddenly accelerated and he suddenly handed it to the left. At the same time, he took a big step and suddenly flashed
To the left. Each step is exactly the same as Crawford's previous move.
Crawford learned the lesson this time. He had been guarding against Wen Hao's move for a long time. He also came to the left when Wen Hao just jumped to the left. He knew that Wen Hao's last move must be a pull-up jump shot, so
He jumped up high, covering Wen Hao's entire body in his shadow.
Wen Hao originally wanted to take a jump shot just as Crawford thought, but at this time he had no shooting angle at all. If he forced the shot, the shot would be blocked. In desperation, he suddenly had an idea and handed the ball that had not been collected yet.
When he reached his right hand, he took another step and instantly passed the already jumping Crawford, heading straight to the inside.
"***!"
Crawford, who was still in the air, cursed, but was unable to do anything.
However, Jordan and Griffin, who were supposed to come over to cover up the defense, thought that Wen Hao really wanted to copy Crawford's action jumper, so they did not even think about covering up the defense. Wen Hao drove straight into the paint and was unguarded.
He jumped up hard, leaning his upper body forward as much as possible, and the next moment——
"Bang!"
A big dunk shocked the whole audience.
The microphone behind the backboard faithfully transmitted the sound to the scene, and the camera recorded the amazing scene.
The first dunk of Wen Hao's NBA career was born. And this dunk, which was not very popular but wonderful, was the beginning of countless hot and wonderful dunks for Wen Hao in the future!
Looking back, Wen Hao looked at Crawford, who was lost for a moment, and said calmly: "Can't shoot? Can I dunk one?"
Crawford's already ugly face turned gray in an instant.
"Oh, beautiful!"
The Rockets bench was filled with excitement. Whether it was the bearded star Harden or Brooks, who had been unable to play, they all stood up and waved towels in their hands, and howled like wolves.
McHale, who was originally worried that Wen Hao really wanted to force the shot, was relieved at this time, with a rare smile on his face. He secretly admired in his heart: "When everyone thought he was going to shoot, he unexpectedly chose to break through.
.This Chinese is so smart.”
In the Clippers lounge area, Paul sat there, biting his nails subconsciously, and said to himself: It seems that I underestimated him.
Clippers head coach Doc Rivers could no longer hold back this time and suddenly stood up and called a timeout.
Crawford walked off the court, a little distraught.
Although Wen Hao did not completely copy his movements this time, it seemed that Wen Hao used his movements to be more comprehensive and adaptable than himself, that is to say, he used them better than himself. This was like giving him a heavy chest.
The blow made him feel tight in his chest and frightened him.
Just imagine, if you were anyone else, if someone else used your movements more skillfully than you, would you be instantly frustrated or even desperate?
Paul next to him shook his head secretly. It seemed that Crawford would not be able to recover in the short term.
Thinking of this, he looked at Team Rockets' No. 5 and murmured: "Wen Hao, right? Let me meet you today."
Wen Hao seemed to feel Paul's gaze. He also turned to look at Paul and raised his eyebrows from a distance, clearly showing his provocation.
One is an established superstar who has been famous for a long time, and the other is an unknown new player who has just emerged. There seems to be no suspense about the duel between these two. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the smell of gunpowder between these two has already emerged.
.
It was the last half minute of the first quarter, and Paul did not come on immediately. He only glanced at Wen Hao, then lowered his head and continued to listen to the coach's arrangements for the substitutes.
After this timeout, the Clippers undoubtedly replaced Crawford and let their third backup point guard come on. But everyone knew that the showdown between Paul and Wen Hao would definitely begin in the second quarter.
