There is no doubt that Harden's three-pointer was hollow. Originally, Harden's three-point shooting percentage was not bad. In addition, Wenhao's unanswered assists added to the shooting percentage at this time. He had no one to defend the three-pointer.
It's almost a sure thing.
On the sidelines, McHale saw that Wen Hao did not play inside according to his instructions, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was afraid of whatever he wanted. If Wen Hao did this, how could he, the head coach, still be in the team in the future?
When Thunder head coach Brooks saw the situation on the court, his eyes turned black and his head felt dizzy. What does this mean?
According to the experience of the predecessors, since the Rockets were playing hot inside just now, they should strike while the iron is hot and continue to attack the inside. Why did they suddenly switch to the outside? Did I take the wrong medicine or did McHale take the wrong medicine?
Before Brooks came to his senses, the Thunder were blocked in a positional battle, and the Rockets moved the ball to the frontcourt again. Dayao and Warcraft still occupied the inside, while the Thunder players continued to defend according to the coach's instructions.
Insider. Not even the coach came to his senses, let alone them.
At this time, Wen Hao dribbled the ball past the frontcourt. Seeing that the Thunder players were all huddled within the three-point line, he immediately threw the ball to Parsons on the left baseline.
After getting along with each other for more than three months, Parsons has gained great trust and understanding of Wen Hao. When he got an open space, he had a premonition that Wen Hao's ball would be passed, so he was prepared in advance to receive it.
Release the ball immediately.
Although Wei Shao of the Thunder was the first to react and rushed forward and was blocked, it was already too late. Parsons hit another three-pointer, narrowing the point difference to 2 points.
It was only then that Coach Brooks finally came to his senses. He stood on the sidelines and shouted to the players: "Watch out, be sure to watch out, pay attention to Wen Hao's pass, and cut off the connection between him and other Rockets players."
."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Shao broke into the Thunder and committed a foul on Warcraft. He made one of two free throws, widening the point difference to three points.
At this time, there were only the last 15 seconds left in the first quarter. Wen Hao dribbled the ball past half-court, and then slowly dribbled near the midline.
In the CCTV live broadcast room, Yang Jian asked Zhang Weiping next to him: "Director Zhang, just now Wen Hao continuously passed the ball to the inside, opening up the inside. Then when everyone thought that the Rockets were going to continue to play inside, Wen Hao suddenly played outside again.
Harden and Parsons successively assisted Harden and Parsons to hit three-pointers. Now the two sides are only 3 points apart. How do you think Wen Hao will handle the last ball?"
Director Zhang thought for a moment and said: "This question of yours is really difficult for me. Wen Hao's playing style has always been unpredictable. It is not easy to predict how he will play. But we can make predictions
The range is enlarged a little. Just now Wen Hao hit the inside several times in a row, and then suddenly passed it to the outside. Now the Rockets are blooming inside and outside, and they are all open. What Wen Hao has to do is very simple, is to pass the ball to the outside or inside
."
"Hahahaha..." Yang Jian laughed, "Director Zhang, you have to be kind. If you say it, you haven't said it yet. Either inside or outside, aren't these two ways of playing?"
…
The two commentators thought so, and so did Thunder coach Brooks. He saw Wen Hao slowly dribbling the ball and kept looking at the other four Rockets players. He was a little panicked. Now the defense is not the same.
You can't defend the outside line either. You don't know where the key point of defense is?
In desperation, he had no choice but to shout to the players: "Use zone defense, three-and-two zone defense, but the three in front should be as close to the three-point line as possible."
For now, this is the only way to do it.
The Thunder are also a team with strong execution ability. Since the coach said this, they naturally followed it immediately. When the Thunder players arranged the three-two zone defense, there were only the last 3 seconds left. At this time, they
Once again, the defense has been expanded a bit. In such a short period of time, the Rockets will most likely have to turn to outside shooting.
In particular, Durant is always ready to block Parsons, while Sefolosha is always paying attention to Harden. Once Wen Hao passes the ball, they will defend immediately. Wei Shao is always ready to retreat to help defend the inside.
He was afraid that Wen Hao would pass the ball inside.
But at this moment, with only 1 second left on the clock, Wen Hao took a bold shot from outside the three-point line, raising his right hand high like a king cobra with its head raised, elegant and perfect, but also bloodthirsty and terrifying.
"Whoosh!"
Among the three points, Wen Hao tied the score with this three-pointer.
"0h,**!"
Xiaolang, the on-site commentator, was surprised and unconsciously uttered a curse word. Then in order to make up for his slip of the tongue, he continued: "I'm sorry, as a commentator, I shouldn't say this word. But I still can't bear it.
Stop saying, **!”
And Lao Lang said: "This Wen Hao is so surprising. How...how did he think of shooting by himself? When everyone thought he was going to continue playing inside, he passed the ball to the outside, and when everyone thought he was
When the last attack was about to pass the ball, he did it by himself. This...he is not human thinking at all."
Xiao Lang continued: "Maybe it's because we have different cultural backgrounds from the Easterners, maybe it's because Wen Hao is born with weird thinking. He always suddenly makes some strange moves when we think they are taken for granted, which makes people unable to resist, even
Even the psychological acceptance is a little difficult.”
"Although he is our enemy now, and the Rockets are the enemy of our Thunder, I really don't want to say good things about him. But we have to admit that if he continues to maintain his strange thinking, even if his physical condition is average,
, I will definitely be able to do a great job in n**a."
…
At this time, in the Hooters restaurant in Houston, the game between the Rockets and Thunder was playing on the oversized screen on the wall.
The guests and waiters in the restaurant were very excited. As Houstonians, they are naturally Rockets fans. And Wen Hao's performance just now allowed the Rockets to tie the score, how could they not be excited?
Several waitresses in the restaurant turned back at this time and looked at Elena with a meaningful smile.
I saw Elena raising her head with a happy look on her face.
This is an expression that only a woman would have when she sees the man she likes receiving all the attention.
"Elena, you have really good taste," a waitress said.
"Elena, keep working hard, you must catch up with Wen Hao, so that we can also benefit from it." A male clerk said with a smile.
"Hey, you useless guy," the waitress rolled her eyes at the guy and said, "If Elena and Wen Hao can really become friends, we will be very proud to be friends with big stars. We think about getting glory all day long,
Have you never seen money in your last life?”
Elena listened to the two people bickering, but the luster on her face dimmed a little. Wen Hao had no intention of paying attention to her anymore, and he didn't reply to any of the text messages he sent in the past few days.
Thinking of this, Elena felt unspeakable grievances in her heart. Growing up, she was not the target of boys wherever she went. Although her family was poor and had no choice but to work here, no matter whether she was a male clerk in the store, she still came to
Which of the male customers here wouldn't take a second look at me when they see him? But this Wen Hao is just like a piece of wood or a stone, inhumane and ignorant of people's names!
But Elena soon came back to her senses. She gently clenched her little fists and said secretly: Wen Hao, I will never give up.
At the same time, in a luxurious villa in Houston, Annie was also watching TV, secretly cheering for Wen Hao on the TV screen.
At this time, there was a sound outside the door, and Annie's father came back. When he saw his baby daughter watching the ball game, he smiled and shook his head and said: "Basketball, basketball, you know basketball all day long. Let you come with me."
Go to the company and learn management. If you don't want to go there, you have to be a cheerleader. I think you were a basketball player in your previous life."
"Well, I just like basketball." Annie acted like a spoiled child in front of her father without any discussion.
"Since you like basketball, why don't you continue to be your cheerleader?"
"..." Annie was silent, looking at Rockets No. 5 on the TV screen, her heart palpitating. After a moment, she showed a side that was only shown in front of her father, and said unreasonably: "I can do whatever I want.
Do it, don’t do it if you don’t want to do it, what does it have to do with you?”
Anne's father was such a darling daughter, and he didn't care at all about his daughter's attitude. He smiled again, shook his head, and walked to the second floor. As he went upstairs, he said: "When you have time in the future, come to the company to learn management.
The company will definitely want you to take over in the future..."
"I don't want to learn bad management." Annie replied nonchalantly. She continued to stare at the TV screen, searching for Wen Hao, and said in her heart, "Wen Hao is really amazing.
Even the other team’s head coach can’t do anything.”
At the same time, the second quarter of the game between the Rockets and Thunder officially started.
The Thunder started to attack. Since the Rockets' twin towers went down to rest, only Asik was in the paint. Ibaka finally found his target. He attacked three times in a row and beat Asik without any temper. And Duran
Te also showed his offensive firepower at this time, constantly breaking into the inside to cause damage, and also hitting the outside line one after another.
After playing like this for four minutes, they once again led the Rockets by 8 points.
McHale had no choice but to call a timeout.
Only then did Durant take a break, and Coach Brooks brought back Wei Shao, who had just rested, in order to increase his firepower.
As for the Rockets, McHale only let Dayao and Warcraft continue to rest, and the other starters returned to the court. Now it's time to chase points, and you must be cautious. If you are not careful, the Thunder will lead by 10 points.
If you go, it will be really difficult to fight.
In the CCTV live broadcast room, Zhang Weiping said: "Look, here it comes, now that Durant is off the court, there is only Wei Shao on the court. Let's take a look at the impact of this point guard."
And Wen Hao also had a smile on his face. He also liked the kind of passionate fighting. (To be continued.)
