"In the past, Wen Hao's passing was of course very exciting. He also passed the ball without looking at the person and passed the ball with his hips, but he never did it like today, where he raised the ball with one hand and hit the ground hard. There was also that kind of action.
His seemingly random temperament is really like that of a magician." Commentator Drexler said.
"Of course, compared to the magician, he still lacks a lot of fancy moves, but for now, he is the most magician-like person in the past ten years." Brad said.
After Wen Hao passed the ball, he turned around and walked to the backcourt. Jack stared at him with murderous eyes from behind, but ignored him.
Jack took the ball, dribbled it past the midfield, looked for Wen Hao, and made sure to score one over Wen Hao's head.
But this time he learned wisely. After coming over, he first observed the situation on the court and saw that the other members of the Rockets were at least two meters away. Then he felt relieved and came to Wen Hao.
"Chinese, let me show you what speed is!" Seeing Wen Hao standing slightly to the left, he broke through from the right and flashed past Wen Hao.
After passing Wen Hao, he was overjoyed, took another step forward, and took a shot.
But at this moment, Dayao next to him suddenly came from the side, jumped up high, and slapped the ball into the stands.
The little black bean next to him came up at the right time and smiled at Jack: "Let me show you what height is."
At this time, Jack was a little embarrassed and looked at Dayao's back in disbelief. He was horrified in his heart. He just saw Dayao still beside him, so he took action. He didn't expect such a big man to be able to do so in such a short time.
He rushed over to help defend within a short period of time, which was so surprising.
"Yao's shot was so domineering, it was a bit like James, which is really surprising," commentator Drexler said.
"Although it is surprising, it is also easy to understand. Jack is only less than 1.9 meters, and his jumping is not very good. It is normal for him to be covered by Dayao. And did you notice it? Wen Hao and Dayao just now
Wen Hao deliberately stood a little to the left, while Da
Yao stood further to the left than Wen Hao, leaving the right side for Jack to break through. But in fact, Dayao was already ready to sprint. When Jack started, Dayao started almost at the same time. With his height advantage, this ability
Cover Jack up," Brad said.
"Are you saying that Wen Hao's position just now was actually a trap? He deliberately lured Brad to break through from the right side? Dayao has been ambushing inside for a long time?"
"Yes, that's exactly it."
"Oh," Drexler suddenly realized, and then exclaimed, "these two Chinese are so terrifying. Although Wen Hao's defense is not good, his brain is smart enough, and he can defend it with almost no effort.
Jack's two attacks. Jack has always fought alone, while Wenhao mobilized the whole team on the offensive end and relied on the whole team on the defensive end. It is clear at a glance which one is better."
Jack was already a little annoyed, and when he heard the explanation, he was even more furious. How is it possible, how could I be fooled around by two Chinese guys? It's impossible! It just happened, it must have been a coincidence!
With this thought, after serving, he once again faced Wen Hao's defense. This time, he observed everyone's position in advance, and even observed the expressions of everyone on the Rockets clearly, making sure there were no traps or anything like that.
Then he lowered his head and planned to break through Wen Hao.
But just when he was about to break through, Wen Hao suddenly took a step back, making it difficult for him to complete the breakthrough.
Jack's mid-to-long-range shooting was not very good. At this time, he was restricted from breaking through. He did not dare to shoot, so he had to take a step forward, intending to get rid of Wen Hao and then shoot.
When Wen Hao saw Jack pressing forward, he immediately took a half step forward and met Jack face to face, leaving Jack with no room to break through.
Jack had no choice but to take another half step back. Half a step was the best distance to break through.
But he took a half step back, and Wen Hao also took a half step back, once again opening up a step of distance, leaving Jack still unable to break through.
"Oh shit!"
Jack cursed, and the anger in his heart made him ignore it. He immediately picked up the ball and was about to take action.
But before the ball left his hand, a "pipe" sounded, and twenty-four seconds were up. It turned out that he had spent more than ten seconds observing the Rockets players, and then he and Wen Hao took a step back and played for another seven or eight seconds, attacking.
The time has arrived early.
"Oh, Wen Hao actually defended Jack for twenty-four seconds. Who said his defense was not good?" Brad said.
"Yes, although he has no speed or strength, in terms of mentality, he is far superior to other players. The successful defense just now relied on playing with the mind. He didn't make any big moves at all, just half a step forward and then behind.
Half a step, two or three times, the Cavaliers took a 24-second offensive violation, which was really eye-opening." Drexler said.
As the commentary continued, the Rockets continued to attack. This time, because Jack was always close to his side, Wen Hao did not take the ball and directly handed the ball to Little Black Bean Brooks.
The little black bean was extremely fast, his calves were like shadowless feet. He dribbled the ball straight to the frontcourt, and under a cover from Dayao, he went straight into the inside. Seeing that there was no chance in the inside, after turning around in a circle, he went straight to the frontcourt.
Shipped out of the right three-point line.
At this time, Wen Hao had already reached the three-point line at the top of the arc. Under Jack's crazy off-ball defense, he could hardly move without a cover.
Seeing this, Parsons immediately ran over to cover Wen Hao. Wen Hao ran two steps to the right and finally got the ball.
Jack defended tightly and did not give Wen Hao a chance to break through. His eyes were fierce: "Chinese, if you have the guts, score a goal on my head!"
Wen Hao acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and flicked the ball to Parsons, who had just given him a screen and was unguarded for a short time.
Of course, Parsons was unceremonious. He took off from outside the three-point line and shot with no one on guard. The basketball streaked through the air and hit the basket like a cannonball. The sound was crisp and clear.
"Wow——"
The Toyota Center was filled with excitement. As soon as the goal was scored, the two sides were already tied, leaving the Cavaliers less than fifteen seconds to attack.
Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown jumped up at this time, stood on the sidelines and shouted straight to Jack: "Give me a lead of at least two points in the first half, otherwise you will not be able to play in the second quarter!"
Jack was shocked when he heard this. He took charge for two minutes and allowed the Rockets to go on a 7-0 run. According to the coach's temper, he should have been substituted. If not for the fact that there were only ten seconds left in the first quarter,
I have no time to play at all. It seems that I must help the team score a goal in the last ten seconds.
After being yelled at by the coach, Jack finally calmed down and understood what he should do. He dribbled the ball past half court, waiting for opportunities to break through while looking for opportunities to pass the ball. This is what a point guard should do.
But God didn't follow his wishes. When he finally found a chance to pass to Bynum inside, Bynum didn't notice it for a moment. His hand slipped and he lost the ball. And this mistake was still recorded on Jack's head.
.
At this time, Jack was going crazy, but he had no time to be upset. He quickly retreated with the Cavaliers. For a team like the Rockets that is good at fast breaks, they cannot be careless.
After Dayao stole the ball, he passed the ball to Wen Hao. Wen Hao advanced to the frontcourt, still facing Jack's defense for the last four seconds. His eyes searched left and right, still looking for opportunities.
Jack had made a series of mistakes just now, and now his whole body was almost exploding. He stood on the free throw line, spread his arms, spread his legs, and focused all his attention on Wen Hao. When he saw Wen Hao looking for opportunities, he said
Shouting, trying to distract Wen Hao: "Chinese, do you only know how to pass the ball? Does that count as playing basketball? You are like a man, on top of my head..."
As soon as he said this, Wen Hao suddenly jumped up and took action quickly.
"Uh-huh."
Two points hit! The light comes on and the whistle sounds, two points at the buzzer!
Wen Hao turned his head, still without looking at Jack, and walked directly to the rest area with the Rockets.
Jack was left stunned and stunned. He never expected that this boy who could only pass the ball would suddenly take action, and even while he was fully defending. He took action so fast that he had no time to jump to defense.
, the ball has already entered the basket. This...
Jack didn't think about it anymore, but secretly glanced at head coach Brown. As expected, Brown's face was as iron as steel, and his eyes were piercing him like knives.
Jack was a little afraid to go back to the rest area. He followed the team, lowered his head, and dragged him back to the bench step by step.
The Cavaliers head coach glared at Jack hatefully, without saying a word. He turned to look at Irving, who was still sitting there, and shook his head helplessly: "Kyrie, you come on in the second quarter."
Irving admitted it and stood up excitedly and said, "Coach, it's up to me." Even a star player like Irving hopes to stay on the court as long as possible.
Head coach Brown was slightly relieved. As long as Irving plays, the situation should be stable. But at the same time, he frowned. Any player, even if he is as good as James, has a limit to his physical fitness.
, his physical endurance also has a limit.
If you don't care about this limit, a player is likely to be used up. Isn't this how Yao of the Rockets was injured by Van Gundy? Now it is rotation time, and Irving should rest off the court. But the Rockets
Damn No. 5, but he had to let Irving play.
"If it's not the playoffs in the future, we will definitely not be able to do this." Brown thought to himself.
Rockets commentator Drexler saw Irving coming on the court at the beginning of the second quarter and immediately laughed secretly: "It seems that Brown was anxious and sent their All-Star point guard Irving at the beginning of the second quarter.
But having said that, he couldn't help but be in a hurry, Wen Hao just came on for two minutes and the Rockets went 9-0, how could he not be in a hurry."
Another commentator, Brad, said with great anticipation: "This is the first time Wen Hao faces Irving. Let's see what kind of sparks the two can create..."
