"Hao Wa is so awesome. He caught up with the lagging points in two or three times and was 2 points ahead!"
In Wen Hao's hometown, a villager saw that the Rockets were temporarily leading the Cavaliers by 2 points and said immediately.
"Yes, Hao Wa is really amazing. As I said before, most of the top players come in later. Look, as soon as Hao Wa comes on the stage, the Rockets take the lead."
"No wonder Haowa can make a lot of money, but we can only make a small amount of money. This is the gap."
"Stop talking, we started fighting again." Another villager said, and at the same time made a silence gesture, and the villagers fell silent again.
Wen Hao's father did not speak, but listening to the villagers' praise of his son, he felt so beautiful in his heart.
Wen Hao's mother still can't understand football. Her eyes always stay on Wen Hao in the picture. Whenever Wen Hao appears, her eyes are full of maternal love.
At this time at the Toyota Center, the Rockets took the field. The person responsible for defending Irving was not Wen Hao, but Little Black Bean Brooks. Because head coach McHale believed that Wen Hao's on-ball defense was too poor, and Irving was responsible for controlling the ball. If
If Wen Hao goes to guard Irving, he will most likely be beaten by Irving.
At this time, Irving faced Brooks' defense. He swayed from side to side and then accelerated to break through, passing the little black bean. Then, before Dayao came up to defend inside, he made a jump shot. Although Irving's jump shot is not his best method,
But as long as he can get past the little black bean and get just one or two steps closer to the basket, he can still do it.
Looking back, when the Rockets attacked this time, Wen Hao passed the ball to Garcia, but Garcia failed to score. After all, Wen Hao's assists did not always score. The Cavaliers grabbed the rebound inside and gave Irving the offense.
Facing Brooks' defense, Irving swayed twice more. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the little black bean was shaken away, Irving squeezed into the inside. Facing Garcia's defense, Irving hit the board with a high throw into the basket to help the Cavaliers.
Leading the Rockets by 2 points.
McHale on the sidelines couldn't sit still. Among the three outside players on the court for the Rockets, the one with the strongest defensive ability should be Little Black Bean. But Little Black Bean can't guard Irving. What should the Rockets do? Should they double-team?
?
But McHale's coaching style is not to use double-teaming as a last resort. So at this time, he couldn't think of any way to deal with Irving.
He couldn't think of a way, but Wen Hao knew very well that in fact, the Rockets didn't need to make any changes at this time. He knew Irving very well, and Irving was the kind of point guard who focused more on personal offense. As long as he strictly defended the rest of the Cavaliers
, it doesn’t matter if you can’t guard Irving. Let him fight alone, I don’t believe he can defeat the five Rockets alone.
At this time, the Rockets served, and Little Black Bean relied on his speed to rush to the frontcourt very quickly. Before the Cavaliers could gain a foothold, he hit a three-pointer.
Looking back, the Cavaliers' Irving rushed to the frontcourt. He originally wanted to pass the ball, but saw that the Rockets' defense was basically rushing to defend, and Brooks in front of him was not worth mentioning at all, so he still firmly went inside to score.
.
Seeing this, the head coach of the Cavaliers on the sidelines frowned even deeper. It was already rotation time, and it was no longer appropriate for Irving to play. Now every offense is completed by Irving alone.
The physical exertion will be greater. Will he still have physical strength in the fourth quarter?
At this time, the Rockets were attacking, and Little Black Bean was still full of blood and rushed to the frontcourt. The Cavaliers defended him even more tightly this time, almost stepping on the three-point line to defend him. But Little Black Bean's head was hot at this time, so what?
No matter where you are defending, just fire one step outside the three-point line, and the result will naturally be the sound of iron.
"Oops, Little Black Bean's brain is overheated," said Drexler on the sidelines.
"He is this type of player. As long as the first two shots are good, he will not be able to hold back until he can't make any shots." Brad said with a wry smile.
Cavaliers head coach Brown's frowning eyebrows finally relaxed a little. As long as the little black bean's head gets hot, the Cavaliers will be fine.
At this time, Dayao grabbed the rebound and did not pass it out immediately. The game was too chaotic just now, so he had to hand it over to a calm teammate to stabilize the situation.
Unmentioned, that person was naturally point guard Wen Hao. When Yao saw Wen Hao running over from Irving through a screen, he immediately passed the ball to Wen Hao. After Wen Hao got the ball, before Irving could catch up, Yao pulled it up and hit it
CIC.
"Uh-huh."
The basket seemed to shine in the light.
Only then did Irving catch up and glanced at Wen Hao in surprise. Before that, he had never looked directly at the Chinese, and he didn't expect that the Chinese was good at shooting.
Turning around, he still hit the little black bean hard and hit two points again.
As for the Rockets, after the little black bean dribbled the ball past half court, he slipped around the penalty area and ran out of the three-point line. When he saw McHale on the sidelines repeatedly shouting "pass", he gave up his obsession and
Pass the ball to Garcia.
Garcia wanted to shoot a three-pointer, but the Cavaliers defense was already closing in, so he immediately passed the ball to Wen Hao.
The Cavaliers rotated quickly and pounced quickly. However, Wenhao's hand did not stick to the ball and immediately passed the ball out again. However, this time he did not pass it to the little black bean on the other side, but passed it back to
Garcia.
The Cavaliers were turning to the right in accordance with the rotation, but Wen Hao did not follow common sense and suddenly passed the ball to the left. The Cavaliers' defensive players did not react at all. Garcia took the shot calmly and hit a three-pointer.
After five minutes of this, the two sides went back and forth, fighting inextricably. With Irving's personal ability and the teamwork of the Rockets, the score kept rising alternately.
"Do you think..." Drexler asked, "The battle between Wen Hao and Irving is far from what you imagined, and it even makes you a little disappointed?"
"Well, that's true. But I feel relieved when I think about it. One is a substitute player and the other is a star player. These two people are not on the same level to begin with. If they can fight with each other, then
Weird." Brad responded.
"But I don't agree with your view." Drexler said.
"Oh? Why?" Brad looked at Drexler with interest and asked.
"If we look at the data from the past few minutes, Wen Hao is indeed not as good as Irving. Irving scored 13 points in five minutes, which is indeed very impressive. Wen Hao only scored 2 points. The two seem to be worlds apart. But don't forget
Yes, they are all point guards. What is the function of a point guard? It is to organize the team's offense and pass the ball to help teammates score. Even Rose focuses on
Individual offensive players should also not forget to pass the ball. But in the past five minutes, Irving didn't have a single assist, all were individual singles. Wen Hao, on the other hand, passed three assists and scored two points. And his three
The assists are passed to three different people, so that the whole team is open and it is difficult for the Cavaliers to defend. So from this point of view, isn't it clear at a glance which one is better?"
Brad thought for a while, nodded and said: "Listening to what you said, it's true. Wen Hao's personal offense is worse than Irving, but in terms of driving the team's offense, Irving is not as good as Wen Hao."
"And the most important thing is, it's only the second quarter. With Irving's style of play, can he last until the fourth quarter? This is definitely not good news for the Cavaliers."
…
When Cavaliers head coach Brown saw that Irving was playing alone and that the substitutes were of little help, he decisively called a timeout and replaced all the main players on the court.
As for the Rockets, McHale saw that the Cavaliers' main players were all on board and did not show any weakness. He immediately replaced the main players. Harden, Parsons, and Jones all played. However, he did not replace Wen Hao and Dayao. Howard was carrying
Two fouls, it is not appropriate to play now; Wen Hao played well just now, so he should be left on the court.
Moreover, McHale has always used Jeremy Lin very conservatively, putting him on the bench at every turn, and this time was no exception.
At this time, the Rockets attacked. After Wen Hao dribbled the ball past half court, he followed the coach's instructions and passed the ball to Harden.
Harden took the ball and looked at Wen Hao with a cold look.
He held the ball and shook it twice, but the man defending him didn't move at all. Harden dribbled the ball slowly, with no intention of breaking through, passing or shooting. He kept dribbling until the last three seconds.
Only then did he pass the ball to Wen Hao. Moreover, Wen Hao had Irving defending in front of him. He had no time to break through and couldn't shoot. Passing it to him at this time would simply harm him.
The Rockets players on the sidelines noticed this problem, but no one dared to say anything. Ever since Wen Hao defeated the Bobcats, Harden has been a little unhappy with Wen Hao. Especially recently, when Wen Hao is in the limelight, Harden
He was even more unhappy. And his "unhappiness" was shown on the court, as evidenced by this pass.
Moreover, his pass was obviously too high, and Wen Hao had to jump up to reach the ball.
When Irving saw Wen Hao jump up, he did not jump with him, but kept his stance firmly, waiting for Wen Hao to land and guard against him. As long as he guarded for three more seconds, it was time to attack.
But the next moment, he realized that he was wrong.
After Wen Hao jumped up, he did not take the ball down, but flicked it in the air with one hand. The basketball changed its flight path and flew straight towards the basket.
No one in the Cavaliers expected that Wen Hao would dare to pass the ball at this time, so no one reacted. Only Dayao, who knew Wen Hao very well, knew that Wen Hao could pass the ball at any time. He saw the angle accurately and high
Jumping high, he pressed his right hand lightly in the air and pushed the ball into the basket.
Double alley-oop!
"call……"
As soon as the goal was scored, the Toyota Center thundered instantly, and countless fans in front of the TV were also amazed.
"In the last three seconds, there was a double relay. How could he figure it out?" Drexler seemed to really be confused.
Brad said: "Only the most imaginative and creative players can think of it."
