At the beginning of the fourth quarter, McHale once again sent out Wen Hao. The Rockets' lineup was Wen Hao, Jeremy Lin, Casspi, Asik and Dayao. A weird dual point guard + twin towers.
Lakers head coach D'Antoni was not surprised when he saw the Lakers playing with such a weird configuration, but when he saw Wen Hao on the court, his heart skipped a beat. Every time this kid appears on the court, he has unexpected tricks. This time
What else are you going to do?
In fact, D'Antoni was overthinking it. Wen Hao didn't think much about it when he came on the court this time. All he wanted in his heart was to continue his shooting career.
The Lakers did not let Blake guard Wen Hao, but asked Nick Young, who was better defensively and taller, to guard Wen Hao.
Nick Young faced Wen Hao, stretched out his arms, and looked at Wen Hao with great interest. He wanted to understand that this Chinese who didn't dare to shoot before was suddenly full of confidence in shooting.
What is happening to people? As a player who prefers mid-range shots, Nick Young is very confused about this.
He curled his fingers at Wen Hao very covertly and said, "Come on, vote..."
Before the words were finished, a "swish" sound came from behind. Nick Young didn't even have time to utter the last word "a", his mouth was slightly open, and there was a little surprise on his face. This was too fast, he
I haven't finished speaking yet.
However, Nick Young was only surprised for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on his face the next moment. As a player who likes mid-range shots, he has a very deep understanding of mid-range shots. When the feel comes, it seems that
No matter how you shoot, you can score. Even if you feel that some shots are not going to go in, they will somehow get in. But if you don’t feel good, you will not be able to score anyway. Even if a certain ball feels great when you shoot it, it just won’t go in.
Just one and a half stars away.
So what he has to do now is to destroy Wen Hao's shooting rhythm and interrupt Wen Hao's shooting feeling. As long as that feeling is interrupted, Wen Hao will fall into the quagmire of "not making any shots".
When the Lakers attacked, Nick Young returned Wen Hao's mid-range shot, then turned around and waited for Wen Hao's mid-range shot at the free throw line.
Seeing Wen Hao's recent hot touch, Jeremy Lin passed the ball to him again. Wen Hao was not polite, he took the ball and hit it with a "swish" sound. From catching the ball to shooting, it took less than 0.5 seconds for Nick.
·Yang didn’t have time to disrupt Wen Hao’s rhythm.
"***."
Nick Young cursed secretly in his heart. It seemed that he underestimated the Chinese. The Chinese shot too fast. After receiving the ball, most players need to adjust to the rhythm, position and angle they are used to before they take action.
, it takes at least 0.8 seconds, and even the fastest shooting super shooter Ray Allen takes 0.6 seconds. But this kid feels faster than Allen, is this simply inhuman?
Thinking of this, Nick Young raised his head and glanced at the big screen. At a glance, he suddenly realized that Wen Hao was already adjusting before catching the ball. When he got the ball, he had already adjusted and took action directly. Therefore,
The speed is faster than the average player.
After understanding this, Nick Young was not relieved. Instead, the smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared and was replaced by solemnity. Someone who can adjust well before catching the ball has never appeared in this league. What kind of player is this?
ah.
Surprised by Wen Hao, Nick Young hit the mid-range shot, turned around, and continued to defend Wen Hao.
Between three passes and two passes, the basketball once again came into Wen Hao's hands.
This time Nick Young was well prepared and was already in front of Wen Hao the moment he caught the ball. Wen Hao was unable to complete the shot.
Wen Hao had no choice but to put the ball down and dribble. He suddenly dribbled to the right to break through, and Nick Young's center of gravity was brought to the right. At this time, he made a drastic change of direction and handed the ball to his left hand.
Taking advantage of the brief moment when he was able to get away from Nick Young, he suddenly jumped up and took action.
Nick Young rushed over in vain and could only watch the ball fly over his head, and then heard a swishing sound from behind.
This sound entered from his ears, causing a huge blow to his psychology. He had tried his best to defend just now, and it was normal for him to be shaken away for just a few tenths of a second. At his speed, it was easy to make up for it again.
Back. But in such a short moment, Wen Hao had already completed his shot. This speed was simply not human speed. What's even more frightening is that as long as he takes a shot, he can hit. Is this still a human?
In shock, Nick Young did not dare to take the ball in the next few offenses. He was afraid that he would make a mistake because he was not focused.
Staples was quiet at this time, the score had already been overtaken, but they did not cheer for the home team.
They were so shocked that they had forgotten all this. All they could do was look at the arc in front of them over and over again, and listen to the sound that was pleasant to the rocket but harsh to them.
"How many consecutive hits is this?" The commentator, Harlan, couldn't stand the weird silence and finally spoke to break the silence.
"I hit four goals against Kobe, and I also hit four goals against Nick Young. He made eight out of eight mid-range shots!" Reggie Miller said in shock. As a former shooter, he understood what this meant.
This means confidence, absolute confidence in the mid-range shot. Without absolute confidence, it is impossible to hit all eight shots. What happened to this kid?
Even the big-mouthed Klee was surprised and no longer said nonsense like the Lakers must win: "This kid is so surprising. He didn't make many mid-range shots before, but today he made eight out of eight. Oh my god..."
On the other side of the ocean in China, in the Xinlang live broadcast room, Zhou Ling'an looked at the messages on Weibo:
Awesome!
Crazy, crazy, this is a crazy rhythm!
Eight out of eight shots! 40 points! My friends and I were shocked!!!
Another superstar is born!!!
…
Zhou Ling'an said in surprise: "Eight out of eight shots, eight out of eight shots. Counting the 24 points in the first half, Wen Hao has already scored 40 points. Oh my god, is this still a substitute player?"
"He set a new personal high of 40 points in a single game. Oh my god, I can't believe it." Ke Fan didn't even have time to open his eyes and shouted in surprise.
Yang Yi also smiled and said: "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that Wen Hao actually scored 40 points in just over three quarters, far exceeding Kobe's 26 points. It's like what a friend said.
It’s a crazy rhythm.”
"However," Yang Yi changed the topic and said with some worry: "Eight out of eight shots will make people lose easily. I hope Wen Hao will not get lost in this sudden hit rate."
