With seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, Wen Hao was replaced by McHale. Harden and all the main players came on the court. Although the Rockets substitutes played very well just now, at the last moment, they still had to leave it to the main players.
This is safer. Now we are 13 points ahead. With the strength of the Rockets' main players, it should be easy to win this game.
McHale had his hands on his chest, preparing to wait for the press conference at the end of the game. The fans at the Rockets' home court had also begun to celebrate. The Rockets have lost four games in a row recently, and now they are finally about to win.
But things are unpredictable, especially in the NBA. No one knows what will happen until the last second.
At the end of the game, the Rockets lost to the Hornets by 2 points, which surprised everyone.
Wen Hao shook his head in disappointment and walked towards the player tunnel. However, his disappointment was fleeting. What he has to care about now is not these, but the improvement of his abilities and physical fitness. Only these aspects have improved.
, only then can you get enough playing time and not be humiliated by your opponents on the court.
After passing through the player tunnel, he did not go to the locker room, but went directly to the training hall. Today's task was not completed yet. When he arrived at the training hall, No. 11 was already training. Wen Hao didn't say much and started
I completed today's task silently. Today's task is the same as before, still: 50 kg bench press 10 times, push-ups 100 times, frog jumps 100 times, sit-ups 100 times, and 10 sets of meter return runs.
Wen Hao has been doing these trainings every day and has been doing them for 5 days. At first it took him two hours to complete these trainings, but now it only takes one and a half hours to complete.
Wiping the sweat on his face with a towel, he lowered his head and started working silently. Now, he no longer cares too much about the coach's opinion. He knows that no matter how he performs, the coach will not give him a good look.
, he will be kicked out of the Rockets after the ten-day short contract ends.
But he won't give up just yet. He still has to work hard and work harder than ever. Even if he can't stay with the Rockets, at least he will get a good contract if he goes to another team.
When Wen Hao and No. 11 were sweating profusely in the training hall, at the press conference at the Toyota Center, reporters were already targeting Rockets head coach McHale. The focus of their questions today was on the Rockets.
The opponent was reversed in the last 7 minutes of the fourth quarter.
McHale's face was ashen, sitting there like a cold bronze statue. He was originally in a bad mood after losing the game, but these reporters kept buzzing around him like flies. It's strange that his face looked better.
At this time, a reporter raised his hand and asked: "Coach Kevin, with 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Rockets led by 13 points. Then you took off the substitutes and let the main players come on. In the end, you lost the game.
Have you ever considered whether the Rockets would have won the game without that substitution in the fourth quarter?"
As soon as this statement came out, the reporters at the scene were stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at the person who asked the question in surprise. Many reporters also wanted to ask this question, but it was obvious that this question was questioning McHale's employment. If so
Asked, it would be strange if McHale didn't get angry. So everyone kept holding back and didn't ask. Who is this fool who asked such a question rashly?
Amid everyone's surprise and McHale's sullen eyes, they saw a reporter who looked like an intern with black-rimmed eyes standing there, looking a little ridiculous.
Originally, the editor-in-chief did not send him out for interviews today, but he paid attention to Wen Hao's game, so after the game, he sneaked into the press conference venue with his press pass.
McHale had no memory of the intern at all. When he heard the question, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at the intern coldly and then said: "I don't think there is any problem with my employment. Which coach
Letting the bench play the entire fourth quarter? Unless he's crazy."
After hearing this answer, the intern hesitated for a moment and asked the second question: "Coach Kevin, we saw that No. 5 performed very well in the second half of the third quarter and the first few minutes of the fourth quarter.
, played 7 minutes and scored 6 assists, and also blocked Hall, the second scoring point of the Hornets substitute. With such an outstanding performance, why not let him play a few more minutes on the court? Maybe he can play a few more minutes.
, there will be a few more assists, so the Rockets will not lose. Also, will you give him more playing time in the next game?"
After saying these words anxiously, the intern reporter straightened his body and waited for McHale's answer.
At this time, the entire press conference venue was silent. All the reporters and staff looked at the stupid young intern in surprise. Is this kid brainless or is he really brave? Can he ask such a question casually? Even if he has to
The question should be asked in a tactful way, rather than directly in front of so many people. This is tantamount to criticizing McHale's fault in person.
McHale looked at the intern with an extremely unkind look. If he hadn't been in front of so many reporters, he might have really gone mad on the spot. However, he still maintained the qualities of a head coach and barely suppressed his tone, saying coldly
Said: "I have already said that I have no problem with my employment. If this game is played again, I will still employ people this way. I don't want to talk more about this issue. If there are no other problems, I think I should go
Alright." As he said that, he stood up and walked towards the exit without looking back.
The reporters watched the angry McHale leave, turned around, and looked at the interns with ridicule.
The intern breathed a sigh of relief with some fear. He didn't care about the disdainful looks around him. In his mind, he had already begun to compose an article. He wanted to analyze in detail Wen Hao's performance and McHale's employment mistakes in today's game.
At the same time, in the NBA's daily top ten game evaluation center, several editors were having a tense discussion. A middle-aged man in his forties came over and asked casually: "Have today's top ten games been judged?
?”
The editors quickly clicked on the video materials they had edited and started playing them.
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, today's top ten are all worthy of their name."
Several editors looked at each other with smiles on their faces. After receiving praise from their boss, it would not be difficult for them to get a salary increase.
But at this moment, after watching all ten balls, the middle-aged man suddenly frowned and asked: "Why isn't there that Chinese pair?"
