The silence of tens of thousands of fans in the North Shore Garden Arena, Stevens' disappointment, Barb's helplessness, and Rondo's unwillingness declared the Rockets' victory and Wen Hao's victory.
Rondo watched the basketball fall from the sky. The falling speed was so slow that he savored the taste of failure. Although he was helpless and unwilling, he could only accept this fact.
Finally, he glanced at Wen Hao, with a very complicated look in his eyes, and finally turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel. In the midst of extreme unwillingness, he also cherished hope, hoping that one day he could play against Wen Hao again.
Like Rondo, their head coach Stevens looked at McHale with the same eyes. In his impression, McHale was not that powerful, but why did he suddenly become so thoughtful today, making him feel like he was being ignored everywhere?
Lead the way by the nose.
"McHale, one day, I will beat you." Stevens said the last thing before turning around and following Rondo towards the tunnel.
I really don’t know how Schwab would feel if he knew that the person who defeated him was not McHale but Wenhao.
"Although we lost this game, our Celtics lost gloriously. They fought with the Rockets until the last minute, which is worthy of all Celtic fans cheering for them," Gorman said in his heart.
Unwilling to do so, I had no choice but to explain it this way to seek self-comfort.
Haythorn followed Gorman's words and continued: "Yes, although they lost, they lost gloriously. Especially captain Rondo, who did not give up when he was still 10 points behind in the last two minutes.
He continued his crazy attack on the Rockets, almost catching up with the score several times. If the Rockets' No. 5 hadn't interfered, Rondo would have become the hero of the Celtics again today."
"Yeah, Rockets No. 5, the Chinese named Wen Hao. It's all because of him. Every time Rondo chases the score, he will hit a three-pointer to suppress Rondo's offense. As a commentator, I
You shouldn't talk about players from other teams without permission, but I can't help but say now that I hate him when I see him." Although Gorman looks like a Zen master, his personality is not like a Zen master at all, and he is about to explode at this time.
Got up.
Haythorn continued: "Since you have said so, I have to say that I no longer have any good impression of this Chinese."
In the Xinlang live broadcast room, Ke Fan heard what Haythorn and Gorman said, and said with some displeasure: "Hey, Wen Hao played so well, these two foreigners just don't like him, who are these people?"
yes."
Yang Yi looked at Wen Hao, who had already begun to be interviewed on the sidelines, and said with a smile: "In fact, this also shows from another side how good Wen Hao is playing. Making the opponent's fans hate him is enough to show that Wen Hao suppressed them too much.
So cruel."
"Hahahaha..." Ke Fan laughed, "As long as you know it, why bother saying it."
"Today's game, Wen Hao's fans should be satisfied. In the previous games, Wen Hao either played less time or played intermittently, which was always unsatisfactory to watch. He is obviously so strong, but he is always squeezed out.
, was suppressed. This one finally broke out." Yang Yi said.
Ke Fan responded: "Speaking of Wen Hao's explosion, this has something to do with his greatly increased playing time. What makes me strange is that when Wen Hao's playing time increased, when he and Harden were on the court at the same time, the two of them did not
Although there was such discord as rumored outside, they actually had several beautiful collaborations, which is really surprising."
"As far as I know, it is not groundless for the American media to say that the two are at odds. Harden did go to the Rockets' top brass to put pressure on them, but I don't know what tricks the Rockets top brass used to make Harden willing to put aside his old grudges and work with Wen Hao.
Let’s cooperate.”
"If Harden is willing to cooperate with Wen Hao, then the Rockets' lineup will be too luxurious. Center Howard, backup center Dayao, and the third backup center turned out to be Asik. You must know that Asik was very good last season.
Averaging a double-double per game. Although
Although he has been clamoring to leave, but now that the deal has ended, Asik has no choice but to step down and be his third substitute. Moreover, with the strength of the Rockets this season, it is very likely that they will compete for the championship. Can you follow the Rockets?
The championship is not bad either.”
"Let's talk about the fourth position. Power forward Jones and substitute Motyjunas are also very high-quality power forwards. At the small forward position, Parsons has become more mature this season and is gradually looking like an All-Star.
Needless to say about shooting guard Harden, he has completely become the best this year.
There is no shooting guard among them. Finally, let’s talk about the No. 1 position. Jeremy Lin’s strength is considered to be above average, and he can occasionally break out. Beverley is the kind of crazy player who scares everyone who sees him. Again
Coupled with Wen Hao's sudden strength, the Rockets can be said to be full of talents."
"It would be unreasonable for a player like this to fail to win the championship."
While the two men were talking, the Celtics sideline reporter had already finished interviewing Wen Hao. Although as a reporter, he must abide by professional ethics and conscientiously interview the best Wen Hao tonight, Wen Hao's performance on the court let
As a Celtics sideline reporter, he really couldn't keep his spirits up. (15 assists and 3 steals are really dizzying.
After Wen Hao finished the interview, he returned to the locker room. At this time, his cell phone rang at the right time and a text message came.
Wen Hao opened his phone and read the text message, and was stunned for a moment. The text message was from Elena. The content was: Wen Hao, another perfect performance, congratulations...
"Alas..." Wen Hao shook his head helplessly. It seemed that Elena still hadn't given up.
But as long as I ignore her, she may give up as time goes by.
While Wen Hao was thinking absentmindedly, his phone rang again, and there was another text message: Wen Hao, congratulations, I hope you have such a wonderful performance every night - Annie.
"Annie?"
"Annie!"
Wen Hao suddenly got bigger and bigger. One Elena was enough to annoy him, and then there was Annie. Oh my god, it made it difficult for people to concentrate on playing ball.
At this time, Howard, who stretched his neck from Wen Hao's shoulder, suddenly whistled: "It seems that you and Annie from the cheerleading team are really having an affair."
"Ah?" Parsons, who was changing clothes, suddenly turned his head, looking very gossipy, "Is this really happening? It's serious, this is big news. Who will interview me, who will interview me, I want to break the news
!" Parsons said as he shouted outside the locker room.
Fortunately, the locker room was not open to reporters at this time, otherwise Wen Hao would have suffered a lot.
Even Jones, who had always had a good relationship with Wen Hao, squeezed over and pretended to be an elder teaching a younger generation: "Anne is a good girl, you have to cherish her."
At this time, Wen Hao couldn't explain clearly even with his face full, so he had to close his mouth and smile helplessly.
Dayao passed by Wen Hao and said to him with a smile: "This is n**a. You must be able to enjoy flowers and applause, but you must also learn to be gossiped about anytime and anywhere."
…
After this game, although the Rockets are still ranked third in the Western Conference, they are only 2.5 games behind the Spurs, who are second in the Western Conference. As long as they work harder, they will surpass the Spurs and challenge the Thunder, who are first in the Western Conference.
challenge.
The American media believes that it will be difficult for the Rockets to catch up with the Spurs. With Mr. Bo in charge, the Spurs are not easy to mess with. Although they do not attract people's attention every year, they are not the bright spot every year, and they do not seem to be the protagonist. But in
Unconsciously, they always jump to the top of the record list. After the New Year, they achieved a record of 13 wins and 1 loss, which made the entire league pay attention.
The Rockets want to catch up with the Spurs, but is it easier said than done?
But the Rockets did not let the Rockets wait too long. Throughout March, they did not lose a game and soon left the Spurs, who had lost three games, behind. And in this March, Wen Hao of the Rockets was
He was named the best player in the Western Conference and appeared on the NBA official website together with LeBron James, the best player in the Eastern Conference.
In the n**a official's comments, he wrote: Throughout March, Wenhao averaged ) minutes per game, scoring).8 points, 14.4 assists and 1.3 steals, ranking first in the league in efficiency. Especially for him
The backcourt combination formed with Harden already has extremely strong
Strong offensive firepower. Under his leadership, the Rockets have not lost a single game in March. It is foreseeable that if Wenhao continues to maintain this state and the Rockets continue to win, he will definitely become a favorable contender for this year's mvp. Although
He has not yet been nominated.
Fagan, a reporter for the Houston Chronicle and a reporter for the Rockets, wrote: "In this month, Wen Hao has played at the level of an All-Star and even a superstar, which has attracted everyone's attention - this
Is he still the short-term contract player he was more than two months ago? But what is admirable is that Wen Hao did not
But Satisfied, he did not give up training, but instead trained harder. He has average talent, but he can achieve such results, which is inseparable from his hard training. We hope that Wen Hao can go further, so that the Rockets can win in the playoffs
You will have a stronger firepower during the game, and your chances of winning the championship will be greater."
However, Wen Hao was not satisfied with this. In addition to his wonderful performance on the field, his agent Yu Song also helped him negotiate a very large endorsement contract for Coca-Cola.
Since Wen Hao has already endorsed Nike before, and he has performed very well during this period and his popularity has risen rapidly, his endorsement fees have also increased accordingly. The endorsement contract with Coca-Cola is US$70 million over three years.
After the contract was negotiated, Yu Song did not stop or continue to look for endorsements for Wen Hao. He began to think about Wen Hao's long-term development. He planned to hire the most professional people to form a team behind Wen Hao, just like
Like the Yao team behind Dayao, they researched and planned Wen Hao's future development.
Although Wen Hao's future is related to it, he has almost no care in this regard, but puts all his energy on basketball. Because in more than a month, the playoffs will start. That is the real thing.
