During Wen Hao's personal performance, Phoenix saw the point difference narrowed from 30 points to 17 points. Their head coach Hornacek couldn't bear it anymore and called a timeout for the second time in this quarter. There is no doubt that
, the Toyota Center was filled with jubilation. And under the leadership of Wen Hao, the morale of the Rockets players was also extremely high. With Wen Hao's crazy three-point offense, why worry about being unable to reverse it?
Head coach McHale looked at Wen Hao with approval and said, "Wen Hao, you did a great job."
Wen Hao pushed away Howard's hand that was rubbing his head and said to McHale: "Coach, don't worry, we won't lose easily. We are the Rockets."
With Wen Hao's words, McHale was temporarily relieved. After all, it seemed that Wen Hao was very confident, and confidence is the prerequisite for a team to win. However, after thinking for a moment, McHale also felt that
Wen Hao put forward an opinion: "Wen, I think you should pass the ball more. Although your touch is very good, if Phoenix adopts a tighter defense against you, can you still guarantee such a hit rate?"
Wen Hao seemed to have expected that McHale would ask some questions. He calmly said to McHale: "Coach, as a point guard, of course I pass the ball first. What I just did was just
I want to attract more defensive attention from the Suns. After I play again, I will focus on passing the ball. I understand that one person cannot win a team."
Seeing what Wen Hao said, McHale nodded: "Well, as long as you understand."
At this time, Reggie Miller glanced sideways at Barkley and said with a smile: "It's already seven three-pointers. I think it will be a matter of time before the record of eight three-pointers in a single quarter is broken."
Barkley gave full play to the spirit of never hitting the wall and never looking back. He straightened his chest and said: "Isn't this one less? And even if he makes eight shots, he only ties the record for three points in a single quarter, and it doesn't count.
Break. To break this record, you have to make at least nine shots, hehe."
When Miller heard Barkley's sinister smile, he knew that Barkley was going to start cheating again, but it didn't matter. Judging from Wen Hao's touch tonight, it is not impossible to score nine. We will see how this big mouth can still deny it.
.
After resuming the game, the Suns continued to attack. Dragic dribbled beyond the three-point line this time, played a pick-and-roll with their teammates, and entered the Rockets inside. However, the Rockets were guarded by the twin towers inside, and he could not
He took a shot and had to dribble the ball out again.
In fact, the Suns had little experience in advancing in positional battles. They relied on Dragic to dribble and break through to create opportunities. At this time, Dragic was unable to break through, and their offense stagnated. In the end, it was about to break through during the attack time.
At the end, I had to force the move.
Naturally, the goal did not go in, and the Rockets got the offensive rebound. After Harden dribbled to the frontcourt, he broke through to the free throw line and shot a jump shot, but the ball did not hit. The Rockets got the offensive rebound and handed over
Gave it to Wen Hao.
Wen Hao took the ball and wanted to create opportunities for his teammates. But the Suns seemed to have already expected that Wen Hao would pass the ball and guarded the other Rockets players, leaving them with no chance to catch the ball.
When Wen Hao saw this, his thoughts went crazy. You won't let me pass the ball? Okay, you asked for this.
Before he finished speaking, facing Dragic's tight defense, he took a dribble step outside the three-point line, suddenly changed direction with his hips, then retreated, more than one meter away from the three-point line, and took a bold shot.
Dragic obviously didn't expect Wen Hao to use a step-back jumper from such a long distance. It was too late to defend, and Wen Hao hit another three-pointer.
The Toyota Center was erupting again, and the fans were going crazy. They made 8 out of 10 three-pointers. Is this an unparalleled rhythm? With these 8 three-pointers, the Rockets have already caught up to only one goal.
It’s 13 points.
On the sidelines, Reggie Miller no longer attacks Barkley because he understands that Wenhao has now hit 8 three-pointers in a single quarter, which equals the number of three-pointers in a single quarter and is still one short.
It takes three points to break the record. And before breaking the record, no matter what he says, Barkley will find excuses.
The Suns continued to attack. Dragic dribbled the ball, played a pick-and-roll with Gerald Green, and suddenly passed the ball from his hip to Green. Green was in the open space at this time, preparing to take a two-step forward jump shot. However,
Just as the ball in his hand hit the ground, Wen Hao's flashlight suddenly shot out, hitting Green's ball in the air, and he rode forward alone.
Green was furious and chased Wen Hao to the frontcourt. His absolute speed was much faster than Wen Hao. After passing the center line, he had already caught up with Wen Hao. In two more steps, he was directly guarding the three-point line.
At this time, the DJ on the scene shouted: "With one more three-pointer, we can break the record for the number of hits in a single quarter!"
After hearing this, the fans at the scene suddenly shouted in unison: "Three points! Three points! Three points..."
Wen Hao is also a passionate young man. When he heard that he was one goal away from breaking the record, there was no reason why he didn't want to think about it. Seeing Gerald Green stepping on the three-point line to defend, he slightly changed direction to the left, a few meters away from the three-point line.
One step away, he took action again.
Gerald Green was originally angry at Wen Hao for stealing his ball. Now seeing that Wen Hao was going to break the record in front of him, he was even more angry. As long as he is a player, no matter who he is, he will not let others do it.
He broke the record on his own head.
Therefore, he pounced directly towards Wen Hao who was one meter away, raised his right arm high, and smashed the ball in Wen Hao's hand.
But Wen Hao actually adopted a backward posture at this time, just in time to avoid Gerald Green's arm, and shot a three-pointer boldly.
Gerald Green's heart thumped, this ball won't go in again, right? If it does, wouldn't it really break the record on his own head? This is definitely a shame for himself. And if Wen Hao continues to be so crazy
If this goes on, the Rockets are very likely to come back. If the Rockets win a game at the Rockets' home court, the following games will definitely be difficult to play. There is a high possibility that the Suns' playoffs will be because of Wen Haoben.
A crazy three-pointer in the game and was eliminated.
No, it can't be like this. I still have to play in the second round, the third round, and enter the finals. I want to win the championship! Ever since I entered NBA, I have dreamed of one day winning that golden championship.
Championship trophy. I almost go crazy thinking about the championship. For the championship, I have gone through harsh training that ordinary people can't bear, and I have worked ten times as hard as an ordinary player. How could I be ruined by a few three-pointers from this unknown boy today?
No, it can't be like this!
These thoughts flashed through Gerald Green's mind for a moment, and he suddenly became angry and fearful. The arm that was originally intended to cover Wen Hao suddenly increased its strength several times and hit Wen Hao's face hard.
Wen Hao only felt that a stone hit his face, knocking him out of the air and falling to the ground. His nose was sore, nosebleeds and tears burst out, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. It was like there were ten thousand people in his mind.
A bee was buzzing, and the whole world seemed to be in chaos.
But Wen Hao did not lie quietly on the ground. Instead, less than two seconds after falling, he heard a "swish" sound, which obviously meant that the ball had been scored. He immediately shook his head and stood up unsteadily.
.And when he stood up, a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his left eye like a ghost in a horror movie.
When the camera panned this scene, the audience at the scene was all shocked. After being shocked for a moment, they suddenly became excited and yelled and cursed at Gerald Green.
Howard raised his fist and went up to him. He wanted to beat the kid hard. It was the critical moment for the Rockets to chase points, but he slapped Wen Hao like this. This was obviously intentional.
Wen Hao felt severe pain on the bridge of his nose, but when he saw Howard raising his fist to hit Gerald Green, he immediately stood in front of Howard and pushed Howard toward the Rockets. While pushing, he said: "Howard, you have to calm down.
It's normal to get injured in a basketball game, and he didn't mean it. Besides, if you are suspended for fighting, how will we play in the next few games?"
"He did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose." Howard shouted, waving his fists.
Several other Rockets players helped Wen Hao pull Howard away.
At this time, the referee stood in the middle of the crowd and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Howard being pulled away. At the same time, by watching the video replay, they determined that Gerald Green committed a foul, and it was just a common foul without any intention to attack anyone. Wen
Hao's three-pointer was valid and he also added a free throw.
The referee thought this way: Even Wen Hao, the person involved, believed that Green did not do it on purpose. If he made the key decision again, wouldn't it cause dissatisfaction with the Suns?
Wen Hao's face was covered in blood at this time and he was unable to execute the free throw at all. He covered his face with a towel and walked to the locker room accompanied by the assistant coach and a security personnel.
Gerald Green looked at Wen Hao's back. Although he felt a little guilty in his heart, he was more fierce. Whoever wants to block my path to the championship, I will fight him to the death!
…
On the court, Dayao took the free throws instead of Wen Hao and made them steadily.
At this time, the Rockets are only 9 points away from the Suns.
"Hahahaha, how are you?" Reggie Miller finally felt proud in front of Barkley and asked deliberately provocatively.
Buckley pretended not to know and asked, "How about what?"
"With 9 three-pointers, Wen Hao broke the record of 8 three-pointers in a single quarter set by Michael Reed in 2002. The facts are before our eyes. Do you still think that he can't play the record?"
"This appearance..." Buckley sneered twice, "It seems...it seems...that this Chinese guy has a problem. I may have misjudged him before."
"Hahahaha..." Reggie Miller laughed happily. It was not easy to make Barkley admit his mistake.
Barkley continued: "Nine three-pointers in a single quarter, 'points. It seems that the energy in this Chinese person is beyond your imagination."
"Of course," Miller said proudly, as if talking about his own student. But then he became a little worried, "I wonder how Wen Hao's injury is. Can he still play tonight?" (To be continued.)
