Grizzlies coach Jorge looked at Wen Hao on the court and was shocked at first. In his impression, wasn't the Rockets' No. 5 eliminated by Paul a few days ago? Under such a blow, no matter who it was,
It takes at least more than a month to recover. Why did it come out again in just a few days? Isn't this nerve too thick? You must know that for players, physical injuries are easy to recover from, but psychological injuries, especially self-confidence, are
The most difficult thing to recover from is that many players even collapse due to a single blow and eventually leave basketball.
However, this Chinese player was fine in just a few days. His self-confidence recovered several times faster than other people's physical recovery. He was a freak. He only recovered quickly, but he didn't follow the coach's instructions as soon as he came on the field.
Come on, this is too courageous. Isn't he afraid that McHale will bench him?
When Joger thought this way, Wenhao passed the ball to Garcia again, and Garcia hit a three-pointer again.
The Rockets scored three consecutive three-pointers, immediately detonating the Toyota Center.
The fans stood up collectively, waving their arms wildly, and huge cheers roared out from nearly 20,000 mouths. The beautiful cheerleaders' hair was swaying wildly, their waists were twisting, and their surnames were sultry. Rocket Bear was present.
Bian kept raising his arms to encourage the fans.
At this moment, Joger was about to cry. He looked at McHale, and he wanted to pull McHale out and question him face to face: Refrigerator, how can he be a coach if he can't even control a player? Isn't it a shame? Why don't you replace him quickly?
Go down?
Jorge didn't know that McHale was also depressed at this time: This is not my tactic. This kid is messing around. He wanted to take him off the field, but he let the Rockets throw three three-pointers, and the fans didn't like it.
Promise.
In desperation, Joger had to call a timeout. He wanted to talk to the players, but he didn't know what to say. Because he didn't know what McHale would do next. Will he replace No. 5 or let him continue?
Stay on the court. If you replace No. 5, it's okay. Then it's just a battle with McHale, but if you let him continue to play, it will be difficult. It's too painful to play against someone you can't figure out at all.
.
But since a timeout was called, it would be a waste not to say anything. Joger wiped his forehead and wondered whether it was cold sweat or hot sweat, and said: "The Rockets' perimeter has been opened. We can no longer shrink under the basket and stand on the three-point line.
While defending the outside, we must not relax inside. When we expand our defense, they are likely to attack the inside."
"So coach," Randolph, a fat-headed man, asked, "should we focus on guarding the outside or the inside?"
"On the outside, of course it's the outside. I'd rather let them score two points than give them another three-point chance."
As for the Rockets, McHale had nothing to say at this time. He just encouraged the players with a few words and then sent the lineup to the field.
When the Grizzlies attacked, they still used the Twin Towers as a pick-and-roll, and Conley broke through from the outside. But Asik moved quickly and chased a big block to knock the ball down, which was picked up by Jeremy Lin. He wanted to start a fast break.
, but was delayed by Conley blocking in front of him, and the Rockets failed to make a fast break.
At this time, Wen Hao next to him came over to respond. After getting the ball, he went directly to the frontcourt.
But his speed was too slow, and after halftime he was caught up by Conley and blocked in front of him. Wen Hao protected the ball with his hands while watching the court, as if he was about to drop down and take position.
But at this moment, Jeremy Lin came from the backcourt like lightning and passed by Wen Hao. The ball Wen Hao was dribbling gently passed it to Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin went straight into the paint and scored an unguarded layup.
"***." Joger waved his fist and cursed softly. He thought the Rockets were going to hit the inside, but unexpectedly they started a fast break.
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!" Joger shouted loudly to his players.
In another round, when the Grizzlies missed a shot, they quickly retreated as the coach called. Only then did Joger feel relieved. As long as he fell into position and relied on the Grizzlies' defense, no matter whether the Rockets were playing from the outside
Whether it's inside or inside, the Grizzlies are confident in guarding them.
"Oh, no, the rocket fell into position again." Commentator Volli said.
"Yes, before the timeout, although the Rockets' three-pointers were very good, after the timeout, the Grizzlies will definitely strengthen their defense on the outside. With the Grizzlies' defensive intensity, it will be difficult for the Rockets to hit three-pointers, and if they are hit inside
If so, the Grizzlies' twin interior towers are enough to defend against it. The Rockets will still be difficult to beat," Drexler said, shaking his head.
In front of countless televisions in Memphis, fans were relieved, as long as they fell into position, it would be easy.
However, the Rockets' No. 5 once again disappointed them.
After Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball past half-court, he immediately handed the ball to Wen Hao and went to run. After the few times just now, he had complete trust in Wen Hao's ability to handle the ball. Can Wen Hao be trusted before?
Worries about returning to 100% form are also gone.
Wen Hao held the ball and faced Conley's defense. He looked towards Garcia on the left. Conley hurriedly moved a little to the left, but at this time, Wen Hao held up the ball and swung it towards Asik on the inside.
Conley had long been on guard against this move and jumped up to reach Wen Hao's pass.
But at this moment Wen Hao suddenly started, not passing the ball, but dribbling. He passed Conley who was still in the air in one step and reached the inside. Before Randolph came up to cover the defense, he threw the ball and made a steady hit.
.Wen Hao scored his first goal of the game.
In the next two attacks, Wen Hao still didn't pass the ball, and he firmly penetrated the inside and scored a layup.
When he scored his sixth point of the game, the Rockets had already chased the score to 50-65, only falling behind by 15 points.
Grizzlies coach Jorge really wanted to cry at this time. When he thought the Rockets were going to hit the inside, the Rockets started shooting three-pointers. Just when he thought the Rockets were going to hit the inside after shooting the three-pointers, the Rockets suddenly changed to a breakthrough.
, why is he always one step too slow?
"It's this kid and No. 5 who messed up the situation."
Thinking of this, Joger became a little angry. He stared at Rocket 5 fiercely and cursed in his heart: Brat, this is a competition between McHale and I. What does it have to do with you?
The Memphis fans stopped talking at this time. They really didn't expect that this Chinese man who was violently abused by Paul a few days ago would allow the Rockets to recover 7 points in 4 minutes of playing. This is too exaggerated.
Even Rockets commentator Drexler was unbelievable: "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that the game that I thought was a foregone conclusion would actually change because of the appearance of a substitute point guard. This Chinese player Wen Hao, really
It’s so surprising.”
"Yes, we are surprised. But our surprise with him does not come from his personal talent or terrifying scoring ability, but from his control of the situation on the court. When everyone thought that the Rockets were going to play inside, he
Let the Rockets play on the outside; when everyone thought that the Rockets were going to combine inside and outside, he suddenly started a personal breakthrough. This kind of ability to analyze and control the situation is terrible. It can be compared with many coaches, look at it
The expression on the Grizzlies coach's face shows how terrifying Wen Hao's ability to control the situation is."
"After the last setback, he seems to be growing up at a terrifying speed..."
