When the Rockets players heard that Harden was unable to participate in the game, and the reason was yesterday's one-on-one duel with Wen Hao, he broke his phalanges due to an angry dunk after losing the game. They all sighed. At the same time, they turned their attention to Wen Hao.
Wen Hao also looked surprised. He really didn't expect Harden to have a fractured bone. Although there were some differences between the two of them, they were teammates after all, and they were both players who fought together on the court. He didn't want Harden to suffer a fracture because of
He would feel guilty due to being injured in a one-on-one duel with himself, and if Harden's injury affects the Rockets' record, then he would be sorry for everyone on the Rockets, and he would feel even more guilty.
While Wen Hao was still blaming himself secretly, McHale suddenly announced a decision: "Wen Hao, you will replace James in the starting lineup tonight."
After hearing this, everyone in the Rockets turned their attention to Wen Hao again.
Dayao's brows furrowed without trace. He also wanted Wen Hao to start, but not in this way. Wen Hao challenged Harden in a one-on-one match first, and Harden suffered a fractured phalanx due to the loss.
It will make people misunderstand Wen Hao. If he starts the game now because of this, it will make people misunderstand him even more. Especially the knot between Harden and him is getting bigger and bigger, and in the end it can't be dealt with.
But this is also an opportunity for Wen Hao. If he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know what year or month he will have to wait. Therefore, Dayao didn't say anything. Everything depends on Wen Hao's decision.
Wen Hao raised his head, his eyes full of determination: "Coach, don't worry."
In the very short period of time just now, he had made up his mind. Since Harden was unable to participate in the game due to an injury due to a duel with him, it means that he owes everyone on the Rockets. He will definitely take this responsibility today.
Late, we must lead the Rockets to win the game.
Soon, the game between the two sides was about to begin. When the starting lists of both sides came out, the commentators on the sidelines were surprised. Drexler looked at the list and said: "I knew Wen Hao would start sooner or later.
, but I didn’t expect it to be so fast.”
Another commentator, Brad, said: "That's true. If Wen Hao was placed on other teams, he might have been a starter long ago, but the Rockets have Jeremy Lin and Beverley on the point guard line. If Wen Hao wants to
It’s hard to get ahead. And McHale has never been too fond of Eastern defenders. Today he can let Wen Hao start, which is really unexpected.”
"However, I heard that Harden will miss two to three weeks due to a fractured middle finger bone in training. This will be a big loss for the Rockets. I don't know if Wen Hao can have the same effect as Harden if he starts.
.If he can't play well, the Rockets may be in limbo within two to three weeks."
"But at least the Rockets should have an easier time in tonight's game. Their opponent, the Kings, has been extremely bad this season. They are now the bottom team in the entire league. Until now, they have only won less than ten games.
."
"This is not necessarily true. Although the Kings have a poor record and have only won ten games, you have to look at who they have won in these ten games. Heat, Pacers, Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, Trail Blazers, these are all
It is the top team in the East and West. Therefore, the Kings are called the killer of strong teams this season. Although the Rockets are now
It's not yet at the level of the Heat and Thunder, but it's still a very strong team. If you encounter a strong team killer like the Kings, I really don't know what the outcome will be. And the Rockets have a very 'excellent' tradition.
That is, when you are strong, you become stronger, and when you are weak, you become weaker." Drexler shook his head when he said this.
"It's hard to say anything. Let's just watch the game." Brad couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the Rockets' painful history of losing to those weak teams.
On the other side of the ocean, fans had already exploded when they saw the Rockets' starting lineup.
"Awesome, Brother Wen took the lead."
"It's time to start the game. I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally this day has arrived."
"Brother Wen is mighty, Brother Wen is rising, Brother Wen is awesome!"
…
Toyota Center, at eight o'clock, the game between the two sides started on time.
When the DJ at the scene introduced Wen Hao, who was starting the game, the fans at the scene cheered.
In front of the TV, Yu Song and Harper opened their eyes wide at the same time, looking at Wen Hao on the TV screen without blinking.
After a moment, Yu Song clapped his hands repeatedly and said: "Great, great, good things come in pairs. I just received an invitation to the All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge and became the starter again. Great, it's really great.
.Wen Hao has done too many good things recently."
Harper opened his eyes wide and his excitement was palpable. He had known for a long time that Wenhao Zhang would be a starter one day, which he also predicted in his article. Today it finally became a reality.
At the same time, he felt a little regretful, regretting not going to watch the game today.
In the 38th neighborhood of Houston, in a dilapidated house, joyous cheers suddenly came out: "It's the first start, Wen Hao is the first start!"
This is little Carter's voice.
Little Carter's mother looked at the TV screen and felt happy in her heart. Although he didn't care that much about basketball, Wen Hao was so good to their little Carter, so he naturally hoped that Wen Hao would get better and better.
…
The two sides started jumping the ball, and Wen Hao stood in the backcourt, staring closely at the two people jumping in the middle circle. It was his first time starting, and he should have been nervous. But he was not nervous at all. What he was thinking was
Responsibility. I indirectly caused the Rockets to lose Harden, so I have to take responsibility and make up for the loss of Harden's absence.
Warcraft's jump ball was naturally nothing to say. He moved the ball to the backcourt. Wen Hao rushed over to control the ball and then slowly advanced to the frontcourt.
The person guarding him is Isiah Thomas, who has been in good form with the Kings in the past two years.
Thomas was not very tall, only 1.75 meters tall, but he was very fast and stood firmly in front of Wen Hao.
At this time, Wen Hao saw that Warcraft had reached the basket. He immediately used the point guard's heart of unsolvable breakthrough skills. After changing directions four times in a row, he went from the right to the left and reached the free throw line.
At this time, Warcraft was already in position under the basket, and Jeremy Lin was waiting to catch the ball outside the three-point line. Wen Hao suddenly jumped up while running, holding the bottom of the basketball with his left hand and holding the basketball with his right hand at the top.
Send both hands outside the three-point line.
Seeing this, Thomas used his speed advantage to immediately block Wenhao's passing route.
But this way, the passing route inside was freed up. Wen Hao's right hand pressed on the basketball and pulled back, and the ball flew directly towards the inside monster.
When Warcraft catches the ball, it is a slam dunk. The game starts with a slam dunk. Warcraft seems extremely excited and comes over to high-five Wen Hao.
At the same time, Thomas was a little confused. The ball just now seemed to be passed to the outside, so why did it suddenly reach the basket?
