When Marshall once again started to defend in front of him to prevent Wen Hao from suddenly attacking with a three-pointer like the previous two times, Wen Hao did not shoot a three-pointer. Instead, he made a big circle, got rid of Marshall, and then caught the ball and suddenly killed
Get inside and score a dunk.
"Asshole." Marshall cursed in his heart. Then he went to receive the serve and started to attack. Facing Wen Hao's single defense, he sneered secretly in his heart. This kid's defense was just like paper. His speed was as fast as a snail.
It was a hard fight. Moreover, a lot of physical energy was consumed in the first two quarters, so there was no way he could guard me.
But when he started to break through, he found that the truth was not what he imagined. He originally wanted to use his speed to directly pass Wen Hao, but somehow, Wen Hao's speed was as fast as him. As soon as he took a step forward, Wen Hao was already
Stay in front of him.
Marshall was startled, and immediately started dribbling from his hips, then suddenly pulled the ball to the right and turned around. He had used this move to pass Wen Hao countless times today.
But this time, when he turned halfway, he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his back and was stuck there by Wen Hao's chest.
Marshall was even more shocked: What happened? His speed suddenly became faster. In the first two quarters, he couldn't keep up with my speed at all. What happened in the third quarter...
Before Marshall had time to think about it, he handed the ball directly to Kobe and asked Kobe to play in singles. Kobe took the ball and shot, and hit a three-pointer. The whole audience cheered for Kobe, and at the same time, some of the audience cheered for Marshall.
So far, he has provided a lot of assists.
But no one knew that Marshall was feeling depressed at this time. In fact, he didn't even want to pass the ball just now. He really couldn't break through Wen Hao, so he passed it.
He really didn't understand why Wen Hao suddenly became so happy.
In fact, he didn't understand that it wasn't that Wen Hao was faster, but that he was slower. Due to the decline in physical fitness, his speed was slower than in the previous two quarters, and he could naturally be caught up by Wen Hao.
Another Rockets attack, Marshall once again went around and defended Wen Hao closely, unable to let Wen Hao get the ball.
But when Wen Hao saw Marshall coming up to him, he turned around and ran, constantly running around the three-point line. Marshall's tight defense naturally had to follow Wen Hao. As he ran, he said in his heart: Boy, your physical fitness in the first two quarters
If you fall further than me, just run away and see who of us can outrun the other.
But before Marshall finished speaking, he was shocked to find that Wen Hao was running at the same speed as in the previous two quarters, running around like a rabbit. After the exhaustion of the first two quarters, Marshall's steps were already staggering, but he could
That kid is actually jumping around. How can I explain this?
In Marshall's depression, Wen Hao had already left him a few meters away. After receiving the ball, he went directly to the inside. He even passed Marshall quickly like a provocation and scored a layup.
Marshall's lungs are about to burst with anger. This is Chi Guoguo's provocation. It's so abominable, so abominable!
Mullin, the commentator on the sidelines, also said in surprise: "After the exhaustion in the first two quarters, it seemed that Wen Hao was not too strenuous. In the third quarter, he actually played very energetically, even though he had consumed the same amount of physical fitness.
Marshall, who is more outstanding than him, can't keep up with him at all, which... is so strange."
Gerner said: "Not only was Marshall unable to keep up defensively, but offensively, he was suddenly guarded by Wen Hao. Even his breakthrough couldn't get past Wen Hao. It seemed that Wen Hao's speed suddenly
Soon."
"Wrong, it's not that Wen Hao is faster, but that after the consumption of the first two quarters, Marshall's physical fitness has declined, and his speed has naturally dropped. But what is strange is that Wen Hao, who has consumed the same amount of energy but is not as good as him in physical fitness,
Why did he act like nothing was wrong and play vigorously in the third quarter?"
Lakers head coach D'Antoni on the sidelines was also surprised. Although the players were able to recover some physical fitness after halftime adjustments, it was impossible for them to recover so abnormally, right? It was as if they hadn't played in the first two quarters, and they were worse than the substitutes.
Active, what kind of freak is this?
When the Lakers attacked again, Marshall faced Wen Hao's defense and wanted to try to break through again. But Kobe didn't come up to catch the ball. He also wanted to see what was weird about Wen Hao.
I saw Marshall dribbling the ball under his crotch, already planning to break through. At this time, Wen Hao showed his active defensive surname and kept waving his hands in front of Marshall's crotch, preventing Marshall from dribbling smoothly. Marshall had no choice but to take a step back.
Pull away, then suddenly start
, pretending to break through to the left, and then suddenly made a large change of direction. His change of direction was extremely rapid, and many NBA point guards suffered from his change of direction. Marshall has already made a step forward through this change of direction, as long as
Taking another half step forward, he completely passed Wen Hao.
But at this moment, Wen Hao suddenly took a step back, then moved sideways, blocking Marshall. Marshall couldn't stop and bumped directly into Wen Hao. There is no doubt that it was an offensive foul.
"This..." Kobe was a little surprised.
The actor Nicholson on the sidelines was even more surprised. He is a hardcore fan and has a thorough understanding of basketball. In the attack and defense just now, Marshall was only half a step away from breaking through, while Wen Hao took a step back and then moved sideways.
It took half a step to block Marshall. The scary thing is that Wen Hao's half step was actually faster than Marshall's half step. This...
In Nicholson's surprise, the Rockets served. This time Wen Hao kept running on the court. Although Marshall was chasing after him, Wen Hao was still two meters away. Then after catching the ball
Easy jump shot.
At this moment, Marshall couldn't hold on any longer. He bent down and panted with his hands on his knees. He felt that he could hardly breathe, and all the strength in his body was drained.
Seeing this, D'Antoni hurriedly replaced Marshall. At the same time, he glanced at Wen Hao, and was even more horrified: What kind of freak is this? Marshall is like this, and he is still running around like a rabbit. Is this still a human being?
Although the fans on the sidelines were unhappy with the Rockets players, they were also horrified by Wen Hao's endurance. He was almost running to death in the first two quarters, but he suddenly came back to life as soon as he came on the court in the third quarter, as if nothing happened, three times
Marshall was wiped out in two strokes. What kind of monster is this?
Of course, these people don't know that the reason why Wen Hao ran to death in the first two quarters and came back to life in the third quarter is because he has the heart of a point guard. The resilience of a point guard's heart is extremely amazing. No matter how tired Wen Hao is,
As long as he gets some sleep, he'll be fine. So during the halftime break, Wen Hao just lay down in the locker room.
Of course, with his kind of running style, even if he has the heart of a point guard, he will not be able to fully recover after a 20-minute break. There is another secret to Wen Hao's ability to be active and active, besides having the heart of a point guard.
That is, in the first half, although it seemed that he kept running and consumed a lot of energy, he was just running and not holding the ball. It seemed that Marshall guarded him to death, but in fact, he was trying to save energy. On the other hand, Marshall,
Although his personal defense prevented Wen Hao from
He didn't make any achievements, but because he also played a very important task on the offensive end, the total consumption on both offense and defense was much greater than that of Wen Hao. He didn't have the heart of a point guard to recover his physical strength, so naturally he was in the third quarter.
When he came up, he was defeated by Wen Hao.
If Marshall is eliminated, the Lakers will lose an offensive starting point and strong firepower. Now they can only rely on Kobe and Nick Young.
The game continued. Although the Lakers without Marshall were still very fast, they launched fast breaks from time to time. But without Marshall's passing, the Lakers' fast break efficiency was greatly reduced. Nick Young can be called the singles king, not for nothing.
It makes sense. As long as we get the ball, we must move forward in one line. No matter what the final result is, I will lay up first and then talk about it.
Kobe is now playing in the second half of the third quarter, and his physical fitness has also declined. Naturally, his condition has declined, and his shooting percentage has also dropped.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Rockets once again sent out the twin towers. When defending, the Lakers could only shoot three-pointers from the outside. Once they missed the shot, the rebound would definitely belong to the Rockets. And the Rockets had Wen Hao in charge.
The rhythm is that after half-time, the ball is directly handed over to the inside, and the inside is scored continuously. Even if the goal is not scored the first time, with the twin towers, the rebounds are guaranteed, and the points will always be scored.
At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets turned the score over again, leading the Lakers by 7 points, 85-78.
But no one on the Rockets is relaxing. They all know that Kobe is still there. Whenever Kobe is there, the Lakers can create any miracle. What's more, they are only leading by 7 points, which is two three-pointers for Kobe.
thing.
When Kobe came off the court, his eyes glanced at Wen Hao, and his coldness was undoubtedly evident.
Wen Hao's face also became solemn. He knew that Kobe was holding back in the third quarter because of his reduced physical strength. But in the fourth quarter, Kobe would definitely lead the Lakers to launch a fierce attack on the Rockets, and even Kobe could turn the tide with one person.
It's not impossible. So, take this opportunity to take a good rest for a few minutes.
Mullin, the courtside commentator, said: "The Rockets were still 5 points behind at the beginning of the third quarter, but now they have reversed the score and led the Lakers by 8 points. When did the turning point begin?"
Gerner said: "Of course, the turning point started when Wen Hao of the Rockets ran Marshall down. The Lakers were missing Marshall and the offensive organizer, but Wen Hao of the Rockets was resurrected at this time. One goes and the other goes.
Then, the Rockets seized the opportunity and turned the momentum back."
"So do you think the Lakers can even get the score back?"
"This... it's very possible that the Lakers have Kobe. As long as Kobe is here, even if they lead by points, it can't be said to be a guaranteed win."
"Let's wait and see what happens in the fourth quarter. I'm really looking forward to it."
