When Wen Hao suddenly pushed forward quickly, the five members of the Cavaliers had to retreat quickly. However, as soon as they retreated, the original one-to-one man-to-man defense had a loophole.
Of course, this loophole cannot be too obvious. From the above, it seems that every Rockets player has a defensive player in front of him.
McHale shook his head slightly. This is why he couldn't reuse Wen Hao. When a point guard is fast enough, during fast breaks, he can tear apart the opponent's defense, leaving obvious loopholes in the defense, thereby seizing opportunities.
, it was a fast break. But Wen Hao's speed was too slow to change the opponent's defense. Every player on the Cavaliers was still staring at the Rockets player.
But at this moment, Wen Hao raised the ball high with his right hand, then smashed it hard towards the center line and passed it to the ground, running across the court and straight towards Parsons, who was running second. Parsons
After receiving the pass, he switched the ball from the left to the right. In just one step, he passed Bynum in front of him, grabbed the basket, and scored a dunk.
The fans cheered thunderously, and they gave the warmest applause and cheers to Parsons. In their eyes, the reason why this goal was scored was mainly due to Parsons' ability to adapt after receiving the ball. Facing the tall but invincible
Bynum failed to stand firm during the quick retreat. He passed by with a slight change of direction and entered the inside line.
However, in the eyes of a truly knowledgeable person, the reason why this goal was scored should be credited to Wen Hao.
Drexler looked at Wen Hao on the court, thought deeply for a moment, and then said: "This ball... Wen Hao passed it very cleverly. At first glance, this ball seems not as exciting as the previous one, but if
If you look carefully, you will know how correct his choice of this ball was."
Brad came back to his senses, nodded and said: "Yes, when the team was slowly advancing, the Cavaliers were already on defense, and everyone thought the fast break could not be completed, he suddenly advanced quickly. This forced the Cavaliers to
The team had to retreat quickly. With such a retreat, their defense was a little messed up. But in the eyes of ordinary people, this was not enough to defeat the enemy.
A fast break came out. However, after observation, Wen Hao discovered that the defender in front of Parsons was Bynum. Parsons' footsteps were much faster than Bynum, so he immediately passed the ball to Parsons. Parsons
He easily passed Bynum who was retreating and scored a dunk. Therefore, the reason why this goal was achieved was mainly due to Wen Hao's pass."
Drexler smiled strangely and said: "Now it seems that the two of us just said that Wen Hao's chances of catching fast breaks are too poor. It seems that we are slapping ourselves in the face."
Brad also nodded and said with a wry smile: "We can only pray that this is a coincidence, otherwise it will be really embarrassing."
However, the excitement of this goal was far more than that. When the bottom line camera uploaded the scene to the big screen, the two commentators were speechless. Together with all the players present, the uniforms of the two teams, and
The fans at the scene were all horrified.
On the screen, when Wen Hao passed the ball, the basketball just passed through the waist of the Cavaliers' small forward and the armpit of the shooting guard. From the screen, the two men's waists and armpits were left with
The space seems to only allow a basketball to pass through, which is smaller than a basketball hoop.
…
This is why everyone is horrified. You must know that this pass is a ground pass that runs across the entire court. In a fast break, a ground pass can be passed so accurately. What kind of technology is this?
This is a passing skill that is unparalleled in the world!
After a while, the two commentators finally came to their senses, and Drexler exclaimed: "I think he can definitely participate in the All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge. With such passing skills, the championship is within his grasp."
"
"Such passing skills are comparable even to those of Magic. From now on, I will never say that he can't seize fast break opportunities. In short, I am totally convinced."
…
McHale looked at Wen Hao at this time, and there seemed to be something more in his eyes.
On the field, Irving listened to the commentator praising Wen Hao and felt extremely unhappy. His eyes swept over Wen Hao, and there was a chill that made people feel cold. After he got the ball, he went directly to the frontcourt, facing Wen Hao's defense.
He directly squeezed into the paint with his body and scored a layup.
Looking back, under Irving's tight defense, Wen Hao did not assist or take a direct shot. Instead, he passed the ball to Dayao inside, allowing Dayao to single out Bynum. Bynum encountered someone taller than him.
, Dayao, who was heavier than him, looked like a junior high school student. After being carried to the basket by Dayao, he pulled him up and dunked one.
So in the next few minutes, the Rockets and the Cavaliers started a tug-of-war, and no one could lead by much. But looking at the expressions of Wen Hao and Irving, you can tell who is playing easier and smarter.
Irving sat in a chair, sweating like rain, and breathing heavily. Too many singles with the ball consumed too much of his energy, and he might not be able to sustain it in the fourth quarter.
On the other hand, Wen Hao, although there is sweat on his head, his chest does not rise and fall as much as Irving. He has enough energy to finish the fourth quarter. And with his style of play, it is not a problem to play in overtime.
Down.
Irving was a little depressed at this time. He couldn't understand that a backup point guard could be inextricably linked to his All-Star point guard. What kind of world is this?
What made Irving even more depressed was the two commentators on the sidelines who kept chattering. At this time, they were still comparing themselves to Rockets No. 5.
"Judging from the contest between Wen Hao and Irving in the second half of the third quarter, Irving blindly relied on personal attacks. Even assists were distributed after breakthroughs. But Wen Hao was different. In addition to his personal breakthroughs with the ball, he also broke through and distributed the ball.
In addition to assists, he also handed the ball to Dayao in the paint several times, relying on Dayao's ability to attack the Cavaliers' basket.
This style of play is much less labor-intensive than Irving. Although Wenhao's speed, strength and jumping are not as good as Irving, he is worse than Irving in seizing opportunities and creating opportunities for his teammates. If he has Irving's physical fitness, I dare Say, he's a superstar now." Drexler didn't care whether Irving wanted to hear it or not.
And not only the commentator, but also the head coach of the Cavaliers, Mike Brown, was pointing at him at this time: "Kyrie, I think you can trust your teammates more and pass the ball more. Your physical exertion today
It has exceeded expectations by a lot. If you continue like this, you will not be able to survive until the end."
Irving was reminded by the coach's words, and then he woke up. His physical fitness was indeed beyond the budget. If he continued to play like this, I was afraid that he would be exhausted after half of the fourth quarter. Then at the final decisive moment, he would not be able to do anything for him.
The team offers help.
Thinking of this, Owen calmed down a little, took a deep breath, and began to rest and regain his strength.
Far away in Wen Hao's hometown on the other side of the ocean, a villager listened to the voice of the painful news commentator and said: "This old man said that Hao Wa scored 16 points and 7 assists in the three quarters. Does that mean he is very powerful?"
"No, that bearded guy on No. 13 has already scored 26 points. Is he even better than Hao Wa?"
"Big Beard scored a lot of points, but as soon as he came on the court, the Rockets fell behind. As soon as Haowa came on the court, the Rockets took the lead. Who do you think is better?"
"So of course Hao Wa is great."
Wen Hao's father, who already knows something about basketball, naturally knows that at present, Wen Hao is still not as good as Big Beard in scoring, but in other aspects, such as assists, he is much better than Big Beard. And I heard the commentator said
, Wen Hao did a very good job in seizing opportunities and made far fewer mistakes than Big Beard. And so far today, Wen Hao has only played 15 minutes and scored 16 points and 7 assists, which is already very good.
Awesome.
At this time at Toyota Center, the fourth quarter between the two sides has begun.
Irving of the Cavaliers was resting off the court, while Wen Hao and a group of substitutes were playing for the Rockets. Without Irving's offensive power, the Cavaliers' offensive firepower was much weaker. And the Rockets, under Wen Hao's passing and driving,
Constantly attacking the Cavaliers' basket. Within two minutes, another wave of 8-2 was played. At this time, the Rockets were already leading by 7 points.
Cavaliers head coach Brown had no choice but to call a timeout and replace Irving on the court. Although Irving's physical strength has not yet recovered at this time, if he is not sent on the court now, he will wait until the Rockets further widen the point difference.
There is no need to play.
On the Rockets side, when McHale saw Brown sending Irving, he also sent Harden.
Today, due to Wen Hao's outstanding performance, Harden sat on the bench for too long and was angry. Now that he finally returns to the field, he naturally has to vent his anger. Whenever Irving scores a goal or assists an assist,
He wanted to do one himself.
But although his ability to attack the basket is better than that of Irving, his passing ability is worse than that of Irving.
Driven by Irving, all five members of the Cavaliers opened up the field, and everyone began to score. As for the Rockets, Harden already likes to stick to the ball, and today he is competing with Irving and Wen Hao.
, let alone passing the ball. The Cavaliers head coach noticed this and deployed a targeted defense, often with two or even three people double-teaming Harden. As a result, within five minutes, although Harden
He scored 12 points, but he also made a terrible four turnovers.
Seeing the Cavaliers catching up to the score step by step, Rockets fans fell silent at this time.
McHale shook his head anxiously. Although he had the intention to replace Harden, Harden's playing time today was already shortened by Wen Hao. If he were to replace Harden now, Harden would definitely not be happy. So.
Harden's current position on the team, if he is not happy with it, he will suffer.
Thinking of this, McHale had no choice but to keep Harden on the court.
However, two minutes later, Harden walked and made a three-pointer, leaving the Rockets behind by 4 points.
McHale finally couldn't bear it anymore and resolutely replaced Harden. Based on Harden's performance today, no matter who replaces him now, there is nothing to say. Harden himself has nothing to complain about.
After replacing Harden, McHale looked at Wen Hao and said: "Wen Hao, come on now. James is not in good condition today. If you take his place, you must win this game."
