Like Reggie Miller, the fans at the scene, the fans in front of the TV, and the fans across the ocean are all paying attention to Wen Hao's injury.
Both Yu Song and Harper at the scene were secretly thinking: Don't let anything happen to Wen Hao.
Elena clenched her little fists, feeling extremely worried: Wen Hao, nothing will happen to you.
Annie, who had always been unruly, was also upset at this time. Although Wen Hao ignored her and made her angry, but when something like this happened, the previous things were not important. What was important was that nothing happened to Wen Hao.
.
In Wen Hao's hometown, there was silence at this time. The villagers were shocked by the scene just now. In their view, the basketball game was just like a game, and it was unlikely that such a scene would happen. But when that happened
When this scene actually came, these people were extremely shocked.
Wen Hao's mother had already burst into tears, and her tears were so unbearable that people couldn't bear to look at her.
Wen Hao's father didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on the TV screen, and the cigarette in his hand had burned his fingers without even realizing it.
All this happened so suddenly that no one was prepared for it.
A moment later, when the villagers finally came to their senses, one villager suddenly yelled and cursed: "That bastard foreigner beats people when they can't hit the ball. It's so fucking shameless."
"Is this bastard playing ball or beating someone? If you have the ability, come down here and I'll challenge you to a duel!" another villager shouted.
"American devils, don't hit people if you have the guts. Aren't you great at basketball? You just use basketball to decide the outcome. What's the point of beating people?"
These villagers were extremely angry, as if Wen Hao was their child.
Wen Hao's mother continued to cry, and from time to time she shouted: "Hao baby..." and her face burst into tears again.
Wen's father was smoking a cigarette at this time. He wanted to do something, but he couldn't do anything. Wen Haoyuan was far away in the United States, and they couldn't even say a word of concern.
Suddenly, Wen's father thought of something. He quickly took out his cell phone and dialed Wen Hao's number. The only thing he could do at this time was to call Wen Hao and comfort him.
When the villagers saw Wen's father calling Wen Hao, they suddenly became quiet again and gathered around Wen's father. They all wanted to know Wen Hao's current situation. After all, they had watched Wen Hao grow up and he was playing so well now.
, which is equivalent to adding glory to their village.
However, the call failed to get through at all, and only a woman chattered on the phone. Based on past experience, Wen Hao's father knew that Wen Hao's phone was turned off.
Suddenly the villagers' hearts became excited again.
…
When Wen Hao is playing a game, in order to concentrate, he usually does not turn on his phone. At this time, in the locker room, team doctor Felton is doing a preliminary examination on him.
I saw bleeding from the corner of Wen Hao's left eye, his nose was crooked, his nose was bleeding profusely, and there was some blood at the corner of his mouth.
Based on experience, Felton has determined that Wen Hao is likely to have a broken nose. But as a cautious doctor, he still needs to make a further diagnosis. So he and Wen Hao walked out of the locker room and walked towards the Toyota Center.
Walk to the medical room. There are advanced medical equipment there. Only after examination there can we draw the most accurate conclusion.
At this time on the court, the game between the two sides had continued. The Rockets took advantage of Wen Hao's just closing the point difference to 9 points, and worked hard to narrow the point difference to 4 points at the end of the third quarter.
At this time, Rockets fans are not only concerned about the score, but also Wen Hao's injury. However, there is no news about Wen Hao until now.
Soon, the game continued in the fourth quarter. The Rockets started with great momentum, and with the help of Wen Hao's nine three-pointers, they continued to attack the Suns' basket. But three minutes later, the Rockets coach adjusted his style of play.
Let the Suns continue to speed up. As a result, the Rockets' twin towers cannot keep up with their pace, and the point difference between the two sides begins to widen again.
Although McHale made a series of adjustments: playing Jeremy Lin and playing Beverley at the same time, they still could not stop Dragic. Although Harden also performed well, the Suns continued their offense in the first half.
and rhythm, and finally when the final whistle sounded, the Suns defeated the Rockets 1-112 with an 8-point advantage.
With a win at the Rockets' home court, the Suns have accomplished their mission.
The Rockets finally announced Wen Hao's injury at the post-game press conference - the corners of his eyes and mouth were not serious, but his nose was broken and he would be ruled out for two to three games.
Rockets fans all felt heavy when they heard the news. If Wen Hao's role in the regular season was not very important, then in today's game, everyone can see that Wen Hao made 11 three-pointers in the third quarter.
He made 9 shots and scored a lot of points, helping the Rockets narrow the point difference from 30 points to 9 points. This performance was enough to shock everyone.
It is conceivable that if Wen Hao was not injured today and stayed on the court, what kind of performance would the Rockets have performed? The chance of a comeback would be very high. But Gerald Green of the Suns ruined everything.
In response to this, both the American media and the Chinese media launched a fierce attack on Gerald Green. They believed that his behavior was unsportsmanlike, and it was obvious that the referee's penalty against him was too light.
But Gerald Green shrugged it off in an interview with reporters the next day and said: "I'm really sorry for Wen Hao's injury. I didn't mean it at the time, maybe because I was eager to block the shot and hit him hard.
Some. And injuries in games are very common. For example, in the playoffs of a certain year, a certain Rockets player injured a very important player of the Thunder, causing the Thunder to be eliminated miserably. So I say, this
It’s really nothing.”
When everyone on the Rockets saw Gerald Green's interview, they felt like ten thousand grasshoppers were flying through their hearts, wishing they could eat Gerald Green alive. But this is n**a, a league with very strict regulations. If
If they go to trouble Gerald Green, it is very likely that Rockets players will be suspended and eventually eliminated.
And Wen Hao always comforted his teammates like this: "He is right, he didn't mean it at the time, and it is normal for this kind of situation to happen during the game, it is nothing at all."
After comforting his teammates, Wen Hao immediately called his parents.
The moment the call was connected, my mother burst into tears: "Haowa...how are you...Haowa..."
The mother was too emotional and could not say a complete sentence at all. The father took the phone from the mother and said to Wen Hao: "Hao baby, how are you?"
Wen Hao endured the pain from his nose and said, "It's okay. I just touched my nose. It's not a big deal. I'll just rest for a few days and it will be fine."
"Is everything okay? That's good. ** is still worried. I called you and then turned off the phone, which made ** anxious to death."
Wen Hao felt a little choked up in his throat. After he was injured, what he felt most distressed about was his family. Needless to say, his mother was worried, and although his father didn't say it, he was also worried in his heart.
Thinking of this, Wen Hao continued to comfort his parents: "I'm fine, it's just a small injury on my nose."
"But I heard on TV that your nose was broken." The mother finally calmed down a little.
"Well, it's a fracture, but it's the nose, not the hands or feet. It's not a big deal if it's broken. You just need to rest for a few days. It'll be fine."
"That's good, don't play ball recently, lest you bump into it again and get injured again," said my father.
"Well, no."
…
Wen Hao hung up the phone, with a stream of family affection flowing in his heart. After a moment, he said to his teammate Felton: "Can I play in the next game?"
Felton shook his head firmly and said: "Although the broken nose bone is not a serious injury, you still need to pay attention to rest. You must rest well for at least five days."
Wen Hao did the math and then said: "Fortunately, I can still make it in time for the third game. By the way, I may have to wear a mask in the next game. Will my mask be back by then?"
Felton smiled and said: "The mask we specially ordered for you will take two days to make. It has been completed today and is being shipped. It will be back the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"That would be great, I must catch up with the third game."
While talking, my phone received more than 20 text messages, all from Rockets teammates. The last three messages were from Yu Song, Elena and Annie. Naturally, there is no need to reply to the ones from teammates, they will know who they are tomorrow.
situation. Yu Song also replied, "I'm fine, I can participate in the third game." This sentence can prove that his health is not serious.
As for the text messages sent to Elena and Annie, Wen Hao hesitated for a moment, and finally replied to them respectively, "I'm fine."
He always receives text messages from these two people, especially Elena's. As a Chinese, Wen Hao's traditional education since childhood made him feel guilty if he didn't reply to text messages. Although he had previously made up his mind not to reply before the end of the season.
I communicate with these two people, but it’s okay to reply to text messages.
But now that he had gone back, trouble ensued. Elena quickly replied with a text message, and Annie also responded with a text message a moment later. Wen Hao shook his head helplessly and had to reply to them respectively: "I
If you’re tired, go to sleep.”
…
Let’s not talk about the text messages between Wen Hao and the two women, just talk about the next game between the Rockets and the Suns.
According to the rules of the playoffs, a 2-2-1-1-1 format is adopted. That is, the first two games are played at the home court of the team with better results, the next two games are played at the opponent's home court, and the last three games are played on each venue.
A rotation takes place.
The second game started at 9 o'clock in the evening on the third day. The Rockets started attacking fiercely, the Twin Towers showed off their power under the basket, and Harden fired from the outside... Leading the Suns by 10 points in the first quarter.
But then, the situation completely turned around. The Rockets suddenly lost their touch, while the Suns continued to play their seven-second offense, making it impossible for the Rockets to keep up with their rhythm. Throughout the second quarter and the second half, the Rockets were unable to keep up with their rhythm.
Playing with the rhythm of the sun. Although there are sometimes counterattacks, the rhythm is controlled by the sun most of the time.
Moreover, Gerald Green broke out in this game, scoring 12 rebounds and 6 assists. This made Rockets fans hate it, but there was nothing they could do.
The Suns got two wins in Houston and headed back to Phoenix feeling satisfied.
Rockets fans miss Wen Hao at this time... (To be continued.)
