The fans at Staples Center experienced great joy and sorrow in the last few minutes, which many of them still can't recover from. Five minutes have passed since the game, and they haven't left the game yet.
They didn't leave the game, but the Lakers left the game early. Kobe glanced at Wen Hao from afar and walked into the tunnel behind the Lakers.
On the sidelines, Lakers reporter Saranche stopped Wen Hao as he was leaving the court and wanted to conduct a sideline interview with him.
Wen Hao was not surprised this time. After all, he scored 44 points, 8 assists and 2 steals as a substitute, helping the Rockets defeat the Lakers in an away game. With such an outstanding performance, who would be interviewing him if not him?
Salanche was half a head lower than Wen Hao. He looked up at Wen Hao and said, "Wen Hao, congratulations on scoring the highest score in your career."
Wen Hao took the towel thrown by Jeremy Lin, wiped the sweat on his face, and replied: "Thank you."
"Could you have imagined scoring 44 points in this game?"
Wen Hao shrugged and smiled: "To be honest, I thought about it, even in my dreams, but I didn't expect it would be tonight. It came so quickly and directly, and the dream came true, but it made me feel like I was dreaming, but
I hope I won’t wake up from such a dream.”
"If this is a dream," Saranche said, "I want you to dream it every night."
"Thank you." Wen Hao replied gracefully.
"Kobe Bryant said in an interview before that he didn't know Wen Hao. What do you think of this?"
Wen Hao was shocked. This Saranche really didn't have any good intentions. He first used two sentences to get close, and then changed the third sentence to provoke. If he didn't answer well, everyone knew what would happen. For Jordan and Kobe to be so competitive.
Players who are very strong-willed, if someone dares to provoke them with words off the court, they will brutally abuse their opponents with actions on the court.
Although Wen Hao is actually eager to accept Kobe's revenge and have a real fight with Kobe, his reason tells him that now is not the time. His speed, strength and jumping are not yet high enough to challenge Kobe.
high.
So he answered very carefully: "I think after this game, Kobe may know who I am."
Saranche was a little disappointed, but he could only smile helplessly and waved to Wen Hao: "Finally, I wish you a Merry Christmas."
"Same for you." Wen Hao nodded and walked towards the players' tunnel.
Of course I am happy. I scored 44 points, 8 assists and 2 steals on Christmas Eve, and it was all on Kobe. How can I not be happy?
But at the same time, Wen Hao was still secretly cautious. With a personality like Kobe's, he wouldn't be so relaxed next time the two teams compete.
When Wen Hao returned to the locker room, everyone on the Rockets, except Harden, gathered around the 51-inch rear-projection TV.
Wen Hao was a little confused. These guys usually went into the physical therapy room as soon as they came back. What were they doing today? He squeezed into the crowd and saw an interview with Kobe Bryant being played on the TV screen.
The reporter asked Kobe, who was sitting in front of the closet: "Wen Hao of the Rockets performed well tonight. Not just tonight, his performance in recent games seems to be getting better and better. For such a person with average talent, but playing hard and
Very smart player, what advice do you have?"
Kobe seemed to smile bitterly: "Hey...he has already scored 44 points, can I have any suggestions? He doesn't need other people's suggestions, he just needs to play as he wants."
When Wen Hao heard this, he was slightly relieved. It seemed that Kobe didn't hate him too much.
But don't be too careless. Who knows if Kobe is deliberately numbing himself.
Howard next to him didn't care about this. He patted Wenhao on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you are in the limelight tonight. Even Kobe Bryant said you don't need any advice. You are really awesome."
"Before the game, Kobe said he didn't know Wenhao, but after the game he said that you no longer need advice. It seems that after this battle, you have been recognized by Kobe. You know, there are few players in the entire league who can be recognized by Kobe.
A lot," Parsons said.
Wen Hao also made some jokes with his teammates. At this time, Yao Yao next to him pulled Yao Ming and whispered: "Scoring 44 points is a good thing, but it should not be too ostentatious." He pointed to No. 13 in the closet opposite.
Jersey.
Wen Hao understood it and said: "Don't worry."
Dayao Yao was relieved when he saw that Wen Hao really didn't mean to be too showy. In recent times, Wen Hao's performance has been getting better and better, almost tending to overtake Harden. But with Harden's character, he will never
He will watch his position as the boss shake. If Wen Hao is too assertive, he may attack at any time.
…
Naturally, all major online media outlets in China have made detailed reports on Wenhao's performance. Those who know the game will analyze it from a technical perspective, while those who don't know the game will do their best to brag:
"The Strongest Battle—Wen Hao vs. Kobe"
"44+8+2, Asia's strongest point guard is born"
"40 is already here, can 50 be far behind?"
…
There are countless titles like this. Websites such as Xinlang NBA, Tongxun, and Hupu are also busy opening the Rockets-Wen Hao area as soon as possible. Information and reports about Wen Hao can be found in the area.
In China, the number of fans of Wen Hao increased many times after this battle, while Wen Hei also had fans, but at this time they disappeared without saying a word.
…
At the same time, people all over the world who have watched this game remember one name - Wen Hao. Although it is difficult to pronounce it, Rockets No. 5 has been deeply engraved in their minds.
Countless basketball enthusiasts have become fans of Wen Hao after this game. Although this number is far from comparable to Harden Howard, it is not far behind Parsons. Some people have even started to
Wen Hao and Jeremy Lin are compared. They have also experienced a long time.
The bench career of time also broke out in a certain season. The difference is that Jeremy Lin suddenly appeared in front of everyone as if he was born out of nowhere; while Wen Hao slowly emerged bit by bit, although it was smaller than others.
The player is much faster, but slower than Jeremy Lin.
At the same time, many small and medium-sized manufacturers have already spotted Wen Hao's "fat meat" and called Wen Hao's agent Yu Song one after another. Just the day after the competition, Yu Song had already received calls from more than ten manufacturers.
phone number.
Although Yu Song was a little tempted by several medium-sized manufacturers, he finally chose to refuse after repeated weighing. The image he wanted to establish for Wen Hao was to be absolutely sunny, absolutely positive, absolutely high-end and classy, and it was definitely not these.
What "petty profit" can impress.
Of course, the premise is that he has enough confidence in Wen Hao.
As for those well-known brands, they don't look down on Wenhao at all. A substitute who pops up occasionally is not enough for them.
