On the court, no one could suppress Thomas, which made McHale of the Rockets a little anxious. This is the last game before the All-Star Game. If they can win this game, the Rockets will go there in a relaxed and happy mood.
All-Star Weekend. Maintaining this mood will be very helpful for future games. On the contrary, if this game is lost, the players will not be in such a good mood even if they go to the All-Star Weekend. After all, losing to
There is no glory in being the last team.
Therefore, this game must be won.
Thinking of this, McHale turned his attention to the Rockets' bench. He had to find someone to suppress Thomas.
At this moment, Wen Hao's eyes came up. From Wen Hao's eyes, McHale saw confidence. His heart moved, and he immediately said to Wen Hao: "Wen, you must suppress Thomas, even if
Even if you can't guard him, you still have to suppress him offensively. On defense, just leave it to Beverley."
Wen Hao nodded, stood up, and joined Beverly on the stage.
The assistant coach next to him was a little strange when he saw McHale sending Wen Hao at such a moment, and asked: "Coach, I know Wen Hao is very good, but he seems to be completely guarded by Thomas today. Is it useful to send him here now?"
?”
McHale looked at Wen Hao on the court and said, "If you don't send him up, do you have any other options?"
At this time on the court, the Rockets had already begun to attack. After Beverley dribbled the ball past the frontcourt, he handed it to Wen Hao. In this lineup, Wen Hao plays the one position and he directs the offense.
Wen Hao took the ball, and Thomas was still defending him. Thomas had a slightly proud look on his face. In the previous game, he had completely suppressed Wen Hao. As long as he was a little more serious, his speed and bounce would not be as good as his.
People have no advantage at all and can only be slaughtered by others.
But Wen Hao didn't think so. He had slowly started dribbling, with a sense of confidence in his eyes. This was not blind confidence, but because he had this certainty. In the previous game, the reason why he was defeated by Thomas
Suppression is because he doesn't have the skills to activate the point guard's heart at all.
Now……
Wen Hao looked at Thomas with a slight smile on his face.
Thomas was still wondering, but he saw Wen Hao flashing past him like a gust of wind. Thomas was shocked: "So fast!" At the same time, he was also very strange: Judging from the game just now, this Chinese man's
The speed is just ordinary, why is it so fast all of a sudden?
Of course he didn't know that at the moment of the breakthrough, Wen Hao activated the unsolvable breakthrough skill, which made his speed reach the top level of the NBA in the first step of the breakthrough, just like Wade back then. That's why he was able to
Thomas flashed through him for a moment.
After entering the paint and facing the guarded Cousins, Wen Hao hugged the ball and landed on the ground with both feet, but did not jump up in a hurry. He waited for the opponent to fly over his head before jumping up and shooting. The basketball hit the ball steadily.
Jeremy Lin on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud when he saw this shot: "Isn't this my trick?"
Looking back, Thomas also wanted to return the favor to Wen Hao. From the previous game, he had already seen that Wen Hao's defense was not very good. With his speed, he could easily break through Wen Hao's defense.
But when he came to the Rockets halftime, he found that the one guarding him was not Wen Hao, but Beverley. Thomas was really a little worried about this Beverley. Beverley's desperate attitude
Defensively, Wei Shao suffered a big loss at the time, let alone him.
So Thomas had to dribble the ball carefully. As a result, he lost the impact he should have and was unable to break through Beverley's defense, so he had to pass the ball out. Fortunately, the Kings barely managed to hit the ball.
Entered.
Looking back, Wen Hao continued to control the ball to the frontcourt. Thomas, who was defending him, did not dare to be careless this time. He opened his arms and stared at Wen Hao's eyes with great concentration.
Wen Hao held the ball and looked around, but he seemed unable to break through.
Thomas secretly said in his heart: "This time, I'll see how you can break through."
At this time, Beverley made a circle from the inside and passed behind Wen Hao. Wen Hao turned around and passed the ball to Beverley. This is a pass-cut cooperation that the Rockets often do.
Seeing this, Thomas said coldly, "Don't even think about it," and then went to block Beverly's route from the other side.
But when he stood on Beverley's path, he felt something was wrong behind him and turned around. But it was too late. Wen Hao did not pass the ball to Beverley, but turned around and turned to Beverley for a moment.
After a pause, he suddenly turned back. At this time, Thomas had already blocked Beverley, and Wenhao was unguarded. He broke into the basket and succeeded in another layup.
Looking back, Thomas immediately went to meet the ball. He was already a little angry. It was obvious that he had been tricked by the Chinese. He must get it back in the next round.
But the Kings coach couldn't tolerate him anymore and called a timeout.
"Coach, I will definitely be able to guard him next time, why do we have to call a timeout?" Thomas' tone was slightly stiff.
"We can't make any more mistakes. Next time we defend, we double-team him. We can't let the Chinese get inside easily again."
Although Thomas wanted to say something more, he could no longer speak. After all, he was not the boss of the team, and he was not one of those superstars who could show off to the coach.
On the Rockets side, McHale said to Wen Hao: "You did a good job just now, but the Kings' coach will definitely find a way to deal with you. If it were me, I would definitely double-team you. Have you thought of a way to break it?"
"
Wen Hao nodded and said: "Coach, it's actually very simple to break the double-team. As long as I release the ball faster and our players move faster, they will naturally break their double-team. And from another perspective, once he double-teams,
If they pinch me, it means they have lost the initiative."
"Oh?" McHale was a little surprised.
"The highest level of offense is to change their defense. Once they double-team, it means that their defense has been changed by us. In this way, we can have more offensive methods." Wen Hao said with a smile.
.
"Oh." McHale replied. In fact, this principle is very simple. As long as they have been in the NBA for a period of time, no one understands it. But the problem is that few people can apply this principle into practice. And
Now a Rockets player has actually done this. This Chinese is indeed not simple.
