Dragic was very surprised: That kind of strong self-confidence has only been seen in the eyes of James, Durant and Anthony. It is a kind of domineering attitude that treats defense as nothing.
Arrogant. But in the eyes of Wen Hao, a player who couldn't even play in the first half, who was only a short-term contract player a few months ago, he would have such confidence. This is incredible.
Incredibly, after Dragic dribbled the ball past half-court, facing Wen Hao's defense, he felt a little dazed. Seeing that Wen Hao's defense was slightly relaxed, he took another shot from outside the three-point line.
But perhaps due to psychological fluctuations, he failed to hit the three-pointer at all.
Looking back, after Wen Hao dribbled to the frontcourt, through Dayao's screen, he took another shot from outside the three-point line. "Whoa", the basketball hit without any suspense.
"Now you know how powerful he is," Miller said because of his excitement. "Barkley, now you know he is the savior."
Barkley was secretly annoyed that Dragic failed to hit a three-pointer, but he was not soft at all: "He only hit three three-pointers, which is still short of a point. Does he want to get back all with three-pointers?"
At this time, Dragic suppressed the unnecessary thoughts in his heart and dribbled to the frontcourt again. But this time, even if Wen Hao let go of him for half a step, he did not dare to shoot a three-pointer, but instead competed with Gerrard from the outside.
?Green made a pick-and-roll and then passed the ball to Green. Green hit a three-pointer, but Wen Hao didn't give the Suns a chance to breathe and turned around and hit another three-pointer.
When the Suns attacked, Green had another chance to shoot. He hit a three-pointer from the basket, but their teammates desperately grabbed a rebound inside and threw it to the shooting guard outside the three-point line. The shooting guard also made a shot.
Three points.
The Rockets attacked again, and Wen Hao once again followed Dayao's screen and hit another three-pointer.
Five consecutive three-pointers!
The Suns request a timeout!
"Oh, look, five consecutive three-pointers! My God, what did I see?!" Reggie Miller shouted almost crazily. As a former legendary shooter, he understood that when he hit three consecutive three-pointers on a certain night,
The feeling of time sharing is so crazy.
"Why are you so proud? He could break the record for hits in a single quarter." Barkley said with a smile.
n**a hit 8 three-pointers in a single quarter. It is very difficult to surpass this record. This is not something that can be imagined. You must know that the general shooting rate of three-pointers is only 3%.
From ten to forty years old, you need to make 8 three-pointers, which means you have to make at least 20 times in a single quarter. Even if you have a 50% shooting rate, you have to make 16 shots in a single quarter. Which one?
Is the coach crazy for letting his players take so many three-pointers in a single quarter?
Although Reggie Miller supports Wen Hao, it is very difficult to make three points in a single quarter, and he does not dare to speak too harshly. After all, he is not as loud-mouthed as Barkley.
During the timeout, Suns head coach Hornacek said to the players: "To defend against three-pointers, you must guard against his three-pointers. Dragic, don't you like a dead-stick defense? Just use your dead-ball defense."
We must defend him to death. We must not let him shoot three-pointers again."
"Yes, I understand, coach." Dragic said.
"Others must also guard against the rest of the Rockets. Wen Hao is a great passing player. He is very likely to pass the ball after encountering Dragic's defense. At the same time, your own offense must be smooth.
, the pace must be fast, as fast as possible, so that the Rockets’ twin towers cannot keep up with you.”
At this time, in Wen Hao's hometown, the villagers started yelling when they saw Wen Hao hit five three-pointers in a row.
"Hao Wa is awesome. He scored five goals as soon as he came on the field. It's amazing."
"Brother Wen, Hao Wa is so powerful, shouldn't you treat everyone to a few sips?"
Wen Hao's father smiled and said: "Drink, drink, if you win today's game, you can drink at my house."
…
At the Toyota Center in Houston, Annie and Elena cheered in surprise when they saw Wen Hao hit three-pointers one after another. While Yu Song and Harper saw Wen Hao hit three-pointers one after another and said in their hearts: I knew it,
Wen Hao will definitely not let us down.
The Rockets dugout was naturally filled with jubilation, but everyone quickly suppressed their excitement. It was still more than ten points away, and there was less than twenty minutes left. The Rockets' situation was still very critical. Besides, the Suns
The team will definitely not let Wen Hao continue to be crazy like this. They will definitely adopt some defensive strategy to prevent Wen Hao from shooting three-pointers. At that time, the Rockets will lose a strong firepower point. So the Rockets are not yet
When you are happy.
After the timeout, the Suns, under the organization of Dragic, advanced from the backcourt to the frontcourt in just five seconds and hit two points. When the Rockets attacked, Dragic started to defend closely from the Rockets' serve.
Wen Hao, Wen Hao was not prepared, and it took him a full five seconds to dribble the ball past the midline.
After passing the midline, Wen Hao tried to pass the ball to others to make a transition, but looking around, all the Rockets players on the court were stared at by the Suns players, and there was no chance to pass the ball. In desperation,
Wen Hao had no choice but to continue the attack against Dragic. After a large change of direction in front of his body, he suddenly dribbled through. But he only took one step forward, retreated to outside the three-point line, and took a bold shot.
Dragic was not an easy man either. Although he was half a step away from Wen Hao, he still managed to save himself despite the danger of a foul.
Because the ball swayed too much and he retreated too hastily, Wen Hao lost his center of gravity and missed the three-pointer.
When Charles Barkley saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel proud and said: "Look, Dragic's defense is not as vulnerable as his body looks. Although his physical fitness is not very good, his
This kind of tight defense will give many point guards a headache.
During the 2007 European Championship, Dragic defeated many powerful point guards with this kind of energy. Especially in the game against France, even though his nose bone was broken, he still fought through the injury.
Stick to Parker and ultimately help Slovenia
Defeated the French team. This made him famous in one battle. After entering NBA, his rigid defense made it unbearable for many point guards. Today, the Rockets point guards received preferential treatment from him.
, especially this Chinese named Wen Hao."
Reggie Miller naturally knew that the goal just now was due to Dragic's tight defense, which prevented Wen Hao from hitting a three-pointer, so he had nothing to say.
While talking, Dayao grabbed the rebound and threw the ball to Wen Hao, allowing him to continue organizing the offense. As soon as Wen Hao got the ball, Dragic came up to him again, not giving him a chance to take action.
At this time, Harden ran out of space next to him. Wen Hao immediately straightened up slightly and pretended to pass the ball to Harden.
Seeing this, Dragic screamed in his heart that it was bad. Now Wenhao was scoring alone, but if he was allowed to pass to Harden to score, it would be two people scoring, and the Suns would be even harder to defend.
With this thought, Dragic immediately moved to the side, blocking Wen Hao's passing route.
But at this moment, after receiving the ball, Wen Hao did not pass the ball, but suddenly stood up from the ground and shot a three-pointer.
"No!" Dragic shouted directly this time. But it was too late. Wen Hao's three-pointer went straight to the basket like a cannonball, exploding into a ball of white flames in the basket.
"Wow..." The Toyota Center was noisy. Wen Hao has made 6 of 8 three-pointers in this quarter and has scored 18 points in a row, helping the Rockets narrow the point difference to 17 points. This is really powerful.
Reggie Miller on the sidelines also looked good, and said to Barkley next to him: "There are already 6 three-pointers in a single quarter."
"Isn't that still two short?" Barkley shook his head, "Don't worry, with Dragic's personal defense, it is impossible for him to hit 8 three-pointers, and it is impossible to break that record."
But even though he said this, Barkley was also beating the drum in his heart. I didn't expect this kid's three-pointers to be so powerful. He made 6 of 8 shots in a single quarter. There is still half of the third quarter. If he keeps playing like this, he will break that one.
Isn’t it easy to record?
At this time, he could only pray in his heart that Dragic could guard Wen Hao, and even if he was allowed to shoot two points, he would not shoot three points.
Dragic was also a little anxious at this time. He could guard against Wen Hao, but he was a little careless and was deceived by his fake move just now. He will definitely not let him score the next goal.
At this time, Gerald Green of the Suns caused a foul on Howard and successfully hit a three-pointer. The point difference widened to 3 points.
Looking back, the Rockets continued to attack. But this time Wen Hao did not step forward to meet the ball, but asked Harden to get the ball. Because he knew that once he got the ball, Dragic would follow him, and that way
He's not good at handling the ball.
When Harden got the ball, he was not willing to pass it to Wen Hao easily. He moved to the frontcourt and wanted to break through. But at this time, the Rockets' twin towers happened to be in the center. Halfway through the breakthrough, Harden found that there was no space at all.
He went in and had to withdraw. When he tried to shoot a three-pointer from a long distance, he had no chance for a while. At this time, there were only more than 4 seconds left in the attack time. It happened that Wen Hao came to the left after making a circle inside.
Side baseline. Harden reluctantly passed the ball to Wen Hao.
Wen Hao took advantage of Dragic's half-beat delay and took off again from outside the three-point line after receiving the ball.
There is no doubt that the three-pointer was hit again. This was his seventh three-pointer in this quarter.
"call……"
Toyota Center almost cheered like an overwhelming crowd this time. Wen Hao’s three-pointer tonight seemed to be a perfect shot. At the beginning of the third quarter, the Rockets were still 30 points behind. Now there are nearly five points left in the third quarter.
Minutes later, the Rockets had caught up to only 17 points, and during the chasing phase, all the balls were hit by Wen Hao. This is really powerful.
At the same time, in the Suns, Gerald Green's eyes flashed with a cold light. (To be continued.)
