When Dayao woke up Wenhao, Wenhao was no longer anxious. He sat on the bench with peace of mind and watched the pick-and-roll between Duncan and Parker on the court with Dayao. The two exchanged a few words from time to time, and even
There was still a little smile on his face.
In the ** live broadcast room, Ke Fan asked with some confusion: "This... what is Wen Hao laughing about? Logically speaking, he couldn't play and was pushed on the bench by McHale. Most people should be depressed. Even Wen Hao
If you have experienced a lot and have a good psychological quality, you won’t be depressed because of it, but you shouldn’t laugh either.”
Yang Yi was also a little confused: "I really don't know about this, and I don't understand why Wen Hao is smiling while sitting on the bench and unable to play."
At this time, the third quarter was almost over. After so many years of cooperation, Duncan and Parker have reached the level of proficiency in pick-and-roll, and they can be said to be more than capable against the Rockets. Throughout the third quarter, McHale did not dare to use the main force.
Let's replace them
, Parker's breakthrough and Duncan's jump shot, coupled with the power of the two pick-and-rolls, allowed them to lead by 12 points at the end of the third quarter. Although Harden and Warcraft tried hard to catch up with the score, the tacit understanding between the two was helpless.
The level is far inferior to the two Spurs.
**Vicci is now completely calm. He is sitting in his seat with an expressionless face, but there is a slight glint of pride in his eyes. Today's game is considered to be in the pocket. Against the Rockets, it is not like this.
For a team that's good at defense, a 12-point lead is tantamount to a death sentence for the Rockets.
Of course, a veteran like **Vicci naturally understands that anything can happen in the NBA. Even if you lead by 12 points in the last minute, you may be overturned. But the chance of that happening is extremely small, compared to winning the lottery.
Not much stronger.
McHale, on the other hand, is scratching his head a bit. When it comes to commanding the Rockets, he has just three axes. Once they are used up, he will run out of tricks. Now facing the old fox **Vitch, he has used up all the tricks in his inventory.
, there is still no effect. It seems that 90% of it is finished today.
Thinking of this, he called a few substitutes over and said: "The main players just played a whole quarter and their physical fitness has declined. In the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, you guys have to go up. You must not let this 12-point score
Expand it further, do you understand?"
The substitutes all said in unison: "Understood."
In fact... in McHale's mind, this is what he thinks: For a team like the Spurs that has a balanced offense and defense and rarely makes mistakes, it will be difficult for the Rockets to catch up with the score within 12 minutes. Let these substitutes come up.
A few minutes. If the score is reduced to less than 10 points, let the main players see if they can catch up more; but if the point difference is still 12 points or even wider, then let these substitutes finish the last quarter.
Okay. It’s better to lose the game like this than to let the main players go up and lose.
The points are much stronger.
So in the last quarter, the Rockets played five people: center - Dayao; power forward - Jones; small forward - Casspi; shooting guard - Brooks (guest); point guard -
Wen Hao.
Except for the power forward, the other four positions are all substitutes.
Of course, when the Spurs came up, except for their center, they were all substitutes.
At this time, the Rockets only had Wen Hao as a point guard. Naturally, he dribbled the ball across half court. Facing the defense of the Spurs substitute point guard, he turned around and passed by. After getting inside, he passed the ball to Dayao. Dayao
A dunk made the Spurs center take three steps back.
Looking back, the Spurs' substitute point guard was not convinced and also used a turn to pass Wen Hao. After entering the inside, he did not distribute the ball. Instead, he wanted to challenge Dayao and jumped in front of Dayao.
He pulled the lever in the air to avoid Dayao's defense, got under Dayao's armpit, and then threw the ball.
But less than 0.2 seconds after he took action, "pop", a sound like a thunderbolt sounded above his head, a giant-like palm fell from the sky, and even the ball and people were covered from the air.
It turned out that the moment the Spurs substitute point guard took off, Dayao saw a sudden flash in the substitute point guard's eyes, so he was careful to guard against his fake move. When he first shook
Dayao didn't take off, he just stood on tiptoes. In this way, when he got under his arm and shot for the second time, Dayao could turn sideways as quickly as possible and unleash a big move.
Yao blocked the ball with his block, and it landed right in front of Xiao Bu. Xiao Bu did not hesitate, picked up the ball and ran straight to the front court.
Although the Spurs retreated in time, the rest of the Rockets rushed to the frontcourt to assist. But there is an old Chinese saying that "Xiao Bu only has eyes for the basket." I saw him as if he was stepping on hot wheels.
, dodged two Spurs defenders and even a Rockets shooter, went directly to the Spurs basket, looked back at the moon, and scored with a hook.
**Vicci immediately called a timeout. He is such a cunning and cautious coach and will not allow his opponent to catch up with the score in this way.
After a timeout, he cursed the Spurs' backup point guard, which almost made the Spurs point guard vomit blood. He only lowered his head to listen and did not dare to resist at all.
"The next two minutes are your last chance. If there are still such low-level mistakes, then you will be benched forever." **Vicci glared at the substitute point guard.
As for the Rockets, McHale doesn't have much to say. If the team is playing well, there is no need to make any changes. Just continue to let these people play later.
After the timeout, the Spurs point guard really restrained himself a lot. He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, intending to break through by himself, but his eyes suddenly glanced at the side of Vicki's livid face, and he suddenly became shorter and wilted.
Quite a bit. He passed the ball to the inside, and the inside center tried to single out Dayao. However, due to Dayao's height, he had to pass the ball out. Finally, when the twenty-four seconds were about to expire, he reluctantly took a shot from the outside and actually hit a shot.
Three points.
But when they had just hit a three-pointer and before they had time to celebrate, they saw their own basket suddenly flash, and as the basketball landed, there was Brooks.
It turned out that before their three-pointer hit the ground, Wen Hao took the ball, stepped out of the three-point line with one foot, raised the other foot, and turned. Following the turn, the basketball was thrown directly to the front court.
And Brooks' hot wheels reappeared, taking the lead to the frontcourt, receiving the pass, and scoring a layup directly.
**Vicci on the sidelines was furious, stood up suddenly, and shouted at the referee: "Timeout, timeout!"
How dare the referee offend Mr. Bo and immediately give a timeout.
At this point, Wen Hao and this group of substitutes forced the Spurs into two timeouts within three minutes of coming on.
