"I heard from Morey that someone was unable to defend and asked me to train him. Is that you?" the man asked casually.
"..." When Wen Hao saw that man, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
The man saw that Wen Hao was still doing push-ups. Wen Hao was the only one doing training in the empty training hall. He nodded, still in a very casual tone: "But let me tell you, your physical fitness
That's it, trying to strengthen the defense in one or two days is simply a fantasy."
When Wen Hao first saw the man, he was excited and surprised. When he heard that he wanted to help him strengthen his defense, he became even more excited. When he heard that the man said that he could not strengthen his defense, his heart suddenly sank.
.
However, after experiencing so many things, he did not show his disappointment on the surface, but said: "Senior, what should I do?"
"If you can't defend," the man said, "I can teach you to attack and use stronger attacks to suppress their attacks. Use offense to make up for your defense."
"..."
Wen Hao still couldn't speak. Although he had thought about this, he thought that his current offense was not enough to suppress the offense of other teams. If nothing else, it was just the offense of the Thunder's second young master.
He couldn't suppress it, let alone others. So he didn't seriously consider it. At this time, when his senior said this, the flame of attack was ignited in his heart again.
…
At this time at the Hooters Restaurant in Houston, although it was working time, Elena seemed a little absent-minded. She wanted to check her phone from time to time. This morning she sent Wen Hao five text messages in a row, congratulating the Rockets on their victory last night.
Thunder, but Wen Hao didn't reply. This made Elena a little anxious.
Although Wen Hao didn't usually reply to her text messages, at least he would reply one or two after she sent five messages. But now it's already past eleven o'clock, and Wen Hao hasn't replied even one. How can this make her not disappointed?
.
She wanted to continue posting, but she was afraid that it would arouse Wen Hao's resentment. She wanted to make a phone call. After experiencing being rejected by Wen Hao, she really didn't know what to say to Wen Hao.
In a luxurious villa in Houston, Annie was also editing a text message: Wen Hao, congratulations to the Rockets for winning the Western Conference championship. Congratulations on scoring 15 assists last night. I will always support you. Annie.
After sending the text message, Annie felt very nervous. Although she had always been a unruly princess, she was still a little nervous when she contacted the person she loved for the first time.
After sending the text message, she kept holding the phone with her ears straight, waiting for the sound of the text message. But one minute, two minutes, and five minutes passed without receiving the text message. For Anne, these five minutes were more important than five minutes.
The months are still long.
Five minutes later, she wanted to send another text message, but like Elena, she was afraid that Wen Hao would be disgusted. So she pressed her last name and waited for another five minutes.
During these five minutes, she turned on the TV, trying to relieve her nervousness. But the TV kept changing channels, and would not stay on each channel for more than three seconds.
Finally, after another five minutes, Anne was disappointed and slightly angry. Her unruly princess temper was about to explode. She stopped sending text messages and directly dialed the phone. She wanted to speak to the text on the phone.
Hao**. Who does he think he is? I have been chased by a lot of men since I was a child, and I don’t even pay attention to them. Now I pressed the last name and took the initiative to send him a text message, and he didn’t even send a text message.
Not replying, this is simply unbearable.
But when she finished dialing the number, the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared for no reason, and was replaced by another feeling of anxiety. She no longer knew what to say after the call was connected.
When she was hesitating whether to hang up the phone, a voice came from the other side of the phone: "The phone you dialed has been turned off."
At this moment, Annie's strength seemed to be drained away, and she collapsed on the sofa. She felt relieved, but at the same time she was slightly disappointed. If the call was really connected just now, she really didn't know what to say to Wen Hao.
.
Although many girls in the United States are very open-minded, girls like Annie who have always been chased by others and have never chased anyone really don't know how to interact with boys.
…
In fact, neither Annie nor Elena knew that Wen Hao turned off his mobile phone after getting up this morning. There are only three days left before the start of the playoffs. During these three days, he must train hard and strengthen himself.
defense, so he won't let other trivial matters disturb him.
When Annie and Elena were disappointed, and when Wen Hao was working hard to practice offense with the senior, the playoff lineup had already come out. The Rockets belong to the Western Conference, and we will just talk about the Western Conference. After the Western Conference regular season,
The ranking is as follows:
1. Rocket
2.Thunder
3. Spurs
4. Lakers
5. Clippers
6. Grizzly Bear
7. Warrior
8.Sun
Based on the records of the top eight in the Western Conference, the first round matchups are as follows:
Rocket - Sun
Thunder-Warriors
Spurs - Grizzlies
Lakers-Clippers
When the lineup came out, the so-called experts began to predict how far each team could go in the playoffs this year and who would win the championship.
In their view, the biggest favorites to win this year's championship are undoubtedly the Thunder in the Western Conference and the Heat in the Eastern Conference. The Thunder's two youngsters have both stayed healthy. They are both still very young, but they have rich experience in the playoffs and also have experience in the finals.
In their predictions, although the Rockets are ranked first in the Western Conference, their strength is worse than that of the Thunder and Heat. Moreover, the Rockets' biggest weakness is the No. 1 position. Although they have
Beverley, Jeremy Lin, and Wen Hao. But Beverley's defense is very good, but his offense is poor, especially in terms of organization, he can only belong to the middle level.
Jeremy Lin's offense is good, but he's not top-notch, and his defense is only mid-range.
Although Wenhao's offense is already on the threshold of being a first-class player, his defense is also average.
Therefore, no matter which expert predicts, the Rockets' No. 1 position will be completely destroyed by their opponents. In the first and second rounds, they can make up for it with the strength of other positions, but in the Western Conference finals, if they meet the Thunder
, then there is nothing we can do.
Therefore, they can reach the Western Conference Finals, but miss the Finals.
As soon as those experts said this, they immediately aroused the anger of Rockets fans. They continued to yell at those experts online and even made personal attacks. In mainland China, they even sneered at the so-called predictions of those experts. In their view, the Rockets
The team already has the strength to compete for the championship this year. I don’t say it will definitely win the championship, but it should be no problem to enter the finals.
But inside the Rockets, everything was quiet. McHale was once a player, and now he has been a head coach for many years. He has already thought about the rumors when the playoffs are coming, and he also knows the impact of rumors on the players.
Harmful. Therefore, he ordered all Rockets players not to go online during the playoffs. They could only communicate with family and friends by phone.
So Rockets players basically don't know that experts are already predicting that they won't make it to the Finals.
But it cannot be said that everyone has fulfilled McHale's requirements. For example, Harden certainly did not comply with the head coach's rules. As the boss of the team, he has many privileges.
When he saw the predictions of the experts, he immediately became furious. He pointed at the computer screen and cursed: "These pig-like experts, we will advance to the finals this year to show you."
Another person who secretly went online was Wen Hao. Unlike Harden, he was specifically looking for comments from those Black Rockets. In his opinion, although those comments were not objective enough, some of the issues pointed out in them could still be used for reference.
.For example, one article pointed out the weaknesses of the Rockets' No. 1 position, especially their lack of defensive strength.
Therefore, you should pay more attention to this aspect.
After finishing the call, Wen Hao turned on the phone and prepared to talk to his parents. However, he received seven or eight text messages, respectively from Elena and Annie. Wen Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, reading all the text messages.
He didn't reply. Because the playoffs were approaching, he didn't want to be distracted by these things. Besides, he had no feelings for these two women at all.
Wen Hao then called his father. His father encouraged him that since he can play in the playoffs, he must play well. Even if he loses, he must lose as a human being and must not be a deserter.
The mother was concerned about Wen Hao's health and asked how Wen Hao was eating and living. He was going to play in the next game, so he must pay attention to his health. When playing the game, he must be careful not to hurt his body. Sometimes even if he loses
Even if you skip the game, you must not let your body suffer.
On the phone, Wen Hao heard his father scolding his mother beside him: "What are you talking about? Since we are playing a game, we must play with all our strength. Don't affect the baby here. Hang up now."
The mother also felt that what she said was not quite right, and hurriedly said to Wen Hao: "Hao baby, I'll hang up then. The phone bill is expensive, so I won't say more. You must come back after playing the game in the summer."
"
"Well." Wen Hao's eyes were a little blurry after listening to his mother's words, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely go back this summer."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Hao's heart was filled with ups and downs. Even if we were separated by an ocean, this family love that is thicker than water cannot be blocked.
Half an hour later, Wen Hao calmed down his mood, lay down on his bed, and slept peacefully.
Tomorrow, tomorrow is the playoffs. Tomorrow the Rockets will play against the Suns at Toyota Center. How will your first playoff performance be?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he got, and the more excited he got, the more excited he became. Wen Hao actually lost the slightest bit of sleepiness. He was shaken and still couldn't fall asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but I turned on the light and looked at my watch. I saw that it was already three o'clock in the morning. Wen Hao didn't feel sleepy at all. He got up, put on his clothes, and walked to Toyota Center.
