Amid the doubts of everyone on the Rockets, Wen Hao began to warm up on the sidelines.
"Look, their savior is about to appear." Thunder team's sideline commentator Lao Lang said with a smile, but when he said the phrase "savior", he had a strange accent, obviously mocking the Rockets.
and Wen Hao.
Xiaolang said meaningfully: "No, I don't agree with your point of view. I think he is very important to the Rockets, very important. Today he will definitely help the Rockets narrow the point difference to 10 points before the end of the game."
Within.”
"Hahahaha..." Old Wolf laughed exaggeratedly, "Some people say that my mouth is bad, but your mouth is not much worse than mine."
"Of course, I didn't learn everything from you? Masters give birth to great disciples."
When these two commentators said this, the Thunder fans at home also began to laugh easily. In their opinion, the Rockets will definitely not have an easy time today. With the Thunder's second young master present, let alone catching up with the point difference and turning defeat into victory, they
Even narrowing the score is difficult.
When there were only 8 minutes and 15 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the ball finally died, and the Rockets replaced Wen Hao on the court. The score at this time was 81 to 98, and the Rockets were already behind by as many as 17 points. In this situation
It's very difficult to get it back.
McHale looked at Wen Hao's back walking towards the court from behind, and said to himself: "Wen Hao, I hope your appearance on the court can increase the Rockets' offensive firepower. I don't expect you to be able to reverse the situation successfully, as long as the point difference is not allowed to continue to widen.
That’s fine.”
Then McHale shook his head indifferently. The current Rockets are worse than the Thunder, especially in front of the Thunder's second young coach. The Rockets have almost nothing to do. If the Rockets want to beat the Thunder, they must have something.
At least a superstar with super scoring ability like the Thunder's second son. The Rockets don't have one, which is why the Rockets lost to the Thunder.
In McHale's mind, he had already given up on this game. But he couldn't look like he was giving up on the microphone, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it to the media and fans.
Wen Hao came on the court and replaced Jeremy Lin. At the same time, he suggested to McHale that Jones should be replaced and Beverley replaced.
Wen Hao's idea is: now if he wants to recover 17 points in 8 minutes and 15 seconds, he must grab more rebounds, so the Twin Towers cannot go down. At the same time, he also needs more three-pointers and fast break counterattacks. Beverly
He is fast and has three points, so Beverley must be played.
After arriving on the court, Wen Hao waved to the Rockets players and asked them to gather around.
The Rockets players knew that Wen Hao always had the most clever ideas, so they all gathered together without hesitation.
In the CCTV live broadcast room, Director Zhang saw this scene and said: "Okay, Wen Hao called all the Rockets players together and let's chat for a few words. It seems that he already has a certain say in the Rockets.
"
"It's like this," Yang Jian said, "Generally those who can do this are superstars like Paul James, but Wen Hao of the Rockets is not a superstar, and he doesn't even have the right to speak like Harden, but he
To be able to call the Rockets players together is very confusing."
…
After Wen Hao called the Rockets players together, he wanted to express his thoughts. But considering that Harden might not listen, he hesitated slightly. But when he saw Dayao's encouraging eyes, he immediately made up his mind.
, said to the Rockets players: "There are only 8 minutes and 15 seconds left, and we are still 17 points behind. If we want to catch up,
We must work together. The twin towers inside must now defend, forcing them to shoot from the outside, while ensuring rebounds. Whether in the frontcourt or the backcourt, try to get rebounds. On the offensive end, the three of us on the outside must pick and roll each other to create opportunities.
Shoot a three-pointer. After the shot is made, regardless of whether it goes in or not, immediately return to defense to prevent them from grabbing rebounds for a fast break."
The Rockets players had no objections to Wen Hao's idea. Even Harden thought Wen Hao's idea was very good. Of course, it was just his idea for Wen Hao. He still didn't have any favorable impression of Wen Hao as a person.
After saying that, the Rockets started to attack. Wenhao dribbled the ball past half court and suddenly accelerated, as if he was going to hit the inside.
Wei Shao hurriedly took half a step back, but in that half-step, Wen Hao had already reached outside the three-point line, stood up from the ground, and took a three-pointer, hitting a hollow hit.
Rockets fans cheered loudly when they saw Wen Hao score.
When the commentator on the side saw Wen Hao's goal, he pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah, the savior really scored, and it was a three-pointer! He is really the savior of the Rockets." Then the tone suddenly changed and he said:
"If you're capable, try another three-pointer."
At this time, Wei Shao secretly cursed in his heart that he was too careless, so he went to catch the ball and attack. After moving to the frontcourt, facing Beverley's defense, he broke through Beverley again with vindictiveness, and then hit a jumper.
Looking back, the Rockets attacked again. Beverley dribbled to the frontcourt.
Wei Shao had always been at odds with Beverley. When he saw Beverley getting the ball, he jumped directly towards Beverley, not caring that he was supposed to be the main defender of Wen Hao.
Beverley passed the ball very quickly. He was about to throw the ball to Wen Hao. Wen Hao had already made preparations before catching the ball. After catching the ball, he did not adjust and just took off to shoot. With a "swish" sound, the basketball was hollow.
"Oh, he scored again." Xiaolang also pretended to be surprised and said, "He scored another three-pointer, and he has scored six points in a row."
"Hey, if you can, score another three points." Old Wolf said with a sinister smile.
The fans at the scene also cheered: "Even if we score two more three-pointers, it's still far away. With Durant and Westbrook here, you should be ready to go home crying."
While talking, the Rockets blocked an attack by the Thunder. Looking back, after the Rockets passed halftime, Wenhao fired again from beyond the three-point line.
Like an orange-red meteor streaking across the night sky, the basketball rushed into the basket with Wen Hao's anger. Another three-pointer was hit.
"Three points! Three points! Three points!!!"
The Houston fans screamed. Elena clenched her fists tightly, but her face was already flushed, exuding a special charm. She was so excited.
Anne screamed: "Ah——"
She kept shaking her head and beating the sofa with both hands, feeling extremely excited.
Annie's father heard Annie's scream upstairs and didn't think anything had happened to her. He knew his daughter's character very well. This ghost girl must have encountered something exciting again. Maybe it was the Chinese girl.
The player scored a goal.
But at this time, the fans at the scene were so shocked that their mouths were half open and they couldn't close their mouths for a long time. If one three-pointer is a fluke and two three-pointers are lucky, what are three three-pointers?
Although they were very confident that as long as Durant and Westbrook were on the court, they didn't have anything to worry about. But Wen Hao scored three three-pointers in a row. The momentum of chasing points was so terrible that people couldn't help but think like this:
Will they catch up?
The old wolf was a little speechless at this time. If he was asked to enter one, he would actually enter. If he was asked to do another, he would really do it again. This is too evil.
Xiaolang was only surprised, unable to say anything, and did not dare to say anything. Anything can happen to this Chinese player, and they did not dare to say anything too absolute.
Thunder head coach Brooks called a timeout at this time. After Wen Hao made three consecutive three-pointers, the Rockets had narrowed the point difference to only 13 points. He could not let the point difference continue to narrow. Although there were only six minutes left on the clock,
minutes, but if it is reduced to less than ten minutes, it will be very dangerous.
So he said to the players: "That Rockets No. 5 is very evil. You must guard against his three-pointers. Russell, when you defend him, just step on the three-point line and defend. You must not let him shoot another three-pointer."
point."
Wei Shao turned his head and glanced at Wen Hao, waved his fist and said, "Leave him to me."
On the Rockets side, McHale faced Wen Hao off the court with a smile on his face: "Very good, very good, very good. Wen Hao, you did a very good job."
Wen Hao smiled lightly and said: "There are still 13 points left, so we have to keep working hard."
In fact, when McHale asked Wen Hao what he could do in the second half of the third quarter, Wen Hao came up with one solution: use his own personal ability to counter the personal ability of the Thunder's second youngster.
But firstly, it would seem too arrogant for him to say it like this, and secondly, he doesn’t want to reveal his true offensive firepower before the playoffs. After the training of the past few months, coupled with the various aspects of the point guard’s heart,
With the bonus, Wen Hao's scoring ability is already very strong. Although it is not up to the level of abnormality like James and Durant, it is not far behind Harden. And his three-point shooting rate is compared to
It is more than 20 percentage points higher for Harden, which is an extremely terrifying number.
But he has never shown such a strong scoring ability, just to save it for the playoffs.
However, Durant and Wei Shao were too strong today. It was impossible to defeat the Thunder without using them, so Wen Hao showed off his magic weapon.
And when Wen Hao said that he could suppress the Thunder, he meant that he could suppress them with more powerful offensive firepower than the Thunder.
Although Wen Hao's current scoring ability is not as strong as Durant's, his theoretical three-point shooting rate can reach 60%. If the Thunder is unprepared, he can naturally suppress Durant within a certain period of time.
and Wei Shao.
"So, what do you think we should do next?" McHale seemed to ask intentionally or unintentionally. He had already seen that in the past few minutes after Wen Hao came on the field, neither side had any tactics at all.
Personal ability. If I want to plan my next tactics, I really don’t know how to start.
Wen Hao smiled back at McHale and said: "I will continue to play like this, grab rebounds inside and shoot three-pointers from outside. But I am not the only one to shoot, although I can temporarily suppress Durant and Durant when they are not defending.
Westbrook, but once they are on guard, it won't work. So as long as our Rockets can shoot three-pointers, they must be ready at any time, because after I attract their attention, I may pass the ball to you at any time." (
