Sure enough, under Paul's one-step defense, Wen Hao was unable to break through and did not dare to try to shoot, so he had to pass the ball to Harden. But as soon as Harden got the ball, two defensive players immediately pounced on him.
Harden had no choice but to pass the ball out again. After going back and forth like this, as the time was approaching, the Rockets could only barely throw the ball out, which was not even close.
"Yes, Paul successfully defended No. 5, and the Clippers successfully defended the Rockets' attack!" commentator Lawler said.
Looking back, Wen Hao defended Paul and did not dare to let Paul go to shoot. Once again, Paul broke in. This time it was passed to the outside, and the Clippers hit another three-pointer.
At this moment, Wen Hao finally noticed something, and a bad premonition came over him.
He looked at Paul's baby face. Although nothing could be seen from this face, Wen Hao seemed to see a faint smile on that face.
"No, it's impossible." Wen Hao suppressed the terrible thoughts in his heart and continued to dribble through the frontcourt. He wanted to break through Paul, but Paul still let him go, leaving him unable to break through. In desperation, Wen Hao
Hao had to pass the ball out. No
This time, he didn't pass it to Harden, but to Warcraft inside. But as soon as Warcraft got the ball, Griffin and DeAndre Jordan immediately went up to double-team. Howard had no choice but to pass the ball back to Wen Hao. Wen Hao
Still facing Paul's defense.
"Can't I break through? I have no solution to break through, how could I not be able to break through?"
Wen Hao screamed angrily in his heart, immediately put down the ball and pressed towards Paul.
But Paul did not step forward to defend, but took another step back. Wen Hao was so angry that he didn't even notice that he had pressed into the penalty area, so he continued to take a step forward.
Taking this step is equivalent to getting into the Clippers' pocket. Griffin and DeAndre Jordan rushed over almost at the same time, forming a three-sided encirclement with Paul, tightly surrounding Wen Hao in the center. Wen Hao wanted to pass the ball
Go, but the three people didn't leave any gaps at all.
"Beep——"
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded: "Red No. 5, three-second offense violation!"
"Wow——"
The Staples Center was boiling again, and the momentum of the entire Clippers team was greatly boosted by this successful defense.
On the contrary, Wen Hao's mood suddenly dropped. What went wrong? What happened?
Doubts and panic flashed in Wen Hao's mind. His unsolvable breakthrough, which had always been invincible, didn't work when it came to Paul. Why? Why is this?
However, a person who cannot calm down cannot really think. In panic, he cannot even see the simplest reasons. In his view, Paul seems to be omnipotent. No matter how he breaks through, Paul can always hold on.
.And no matter how Paul attacks, he can't defend himself.
"Could it be that...he is invincible?"
This thought appeared in his mind, and Wen Hao suddenly felt hopeless. Facing a powerful and invincible enemy, no matter how hard he struggled, it would be in vain.
Of course, Wen Hao was not the kind of person who couldn't withstand setbacks. He clenched his fists tightly and roared in his heart: I don't believe it, I don't believe it. No one is invincible. Even the God of Basketball, Jordan, sometimes fails.
.I can defeat him, I can defeat him!
Thinking of this, Wen Hao didn't think about Harden and Warcraft at all when he attacked next time. Instead, he faced Paul directly, constantly changing directions and dribbling quickly, trying to break through to the inside. But Paul still used the defensive strategy of taking a step back.
, regardless of whether to invest or not, Wen Hao still couldn't break through.
"It's impossible, it's impossible for him to be invincible!"
Wen Hao screamed in his heart and pressed near the free throw line. Seeing that Griffin was already ready to double-team him, his mind became hot and he immediately jumped up and took a jump shot——
"Bang."
The dull sound dealt a heavy blow to his heart. Accompanied by Griffin's domineering roar and rebound, Wen Hao fell to the ground feebly. Seeing Paul's back rushing forward, his world was filled with darkness.
.
"Beep——"
The timeout whistle sounded, waking up Wen Hao. He followed the Rockets players, walked feebly to the rest area, and subconsciously sat on the bench. He could no longer hear what the coach said and what his teammates said. He looked at the people in the distance with somewhat blurred eyes.
Big No. 3, a voice sounded in my heart - this man is invincible.
"Oh, look, Rocket 5's dull eyes and desperate expression. Obviously, he has been defeated by CP3." The commentator Lawler's ridicule continued.
"Five minutes, only five minutes.p3..."
There was another uniform cheer for Paul.
McHale didn't even look at Wen Hao this time and replaced him with Jeremy Lin.
However, all this is no longer important to Wen Hao. Until this moment, he finally confirmed his previous thoughts: Paul didn't exert any force in the first half, just playing with himself. When Paul really exerted his strength, he simply couldn't
He has no power to fight back. He is invincible. He is simply invincible...
Thinking of this, Wen Hao's pre-match ambition to win Paul and become famous in one fell swoop disappeared without a trace, replaced by frustration and despair. In front of an opponent like Paul, no matter how hard he tried, it would be of no avail.
In the end, Wen Hao never got a chance to play for another minute in this game. After Wen Hao was knocked out, Jeremy Lin faced Paul and ended in a disastrous defeat. In front of this point guard who has been standing in the league for nearly ten years, the Rockets
The team's two point guards failed one after another.
As for Harden, after Wen Hao's setback, the Clippers' defensive focus was placed on him, making him unable to exert any force at all. The Rockets could only hand the ball to the inside and let Warcraft hit it hard. But Quick
Ship only had to use one move to deal with Warcraft - a foul. Warcraft's free throws could make McHale vomit blood with anger.
In the end, due to Paul's explosion in the second half and the Clippers' cutting tactics, the Rockets lost 103 to 115.
When the game ended, commentator Lawler watched Wen Hao's frustrated figure walking towards the players' tunnel. He laughed loudly: "Another paranoid patient who tried to challenge CP3 was cured by Paul. But he seemed to have a new disease.
--depression."
"I think CP3 is good at everything, but this is the only one. It's not good to treat paranoia into depression. Hahahaha..." said another commentator, Smith.
When Wen Hao returned to the Rockets locker room, the atmosphere here was extremely heavy. Everyone had a gloomy face, even the always cheerful Howard was no exception.
Half an hour later, the locker room was opened to reporters. A group of Los Angeles reporters rushed in, but their target was not Harden Howard or Jeremy Lin Parsons, but Wen Hao, who looked frustrated.
