Just when everyone thought Wen Hao was going to make an inexplicable mistake, the situation suddenly changed unexpectedly.
Because Wen Hao's ball was too fast, although the referee jumped away, he was still unable to escape and was hit directly in the chest by the ball. Then, with the force of the rebound, the ball flew directly towards the free throw line.
And that direction is exactly where Dayao is.
Dayao got the ball without hesitation, jumped up and shot, and successfully hit the basketball.
At this moment, everyone understood: "This is not a mistake, but a pass!"
But understanding it doesn't mean they are no longer surprised, but they become even more surprised. How could he think of using the referee's body to pass the ball?
"Oh my god, this is so weird. Using the opponent's player's body to pass the ball has also happened in Wen Hao's previous games, but in those games he only passed the ball when the opponent's player's back was turned to Wen Hao.
"But today, the referee is facing him." The commentator on the sidelines was surprised.
"Let's not talk about the imagination and creativity of this ball. Just talking about the difficulty of this ball is amazing enough. When the referee faces him, he must take into account the direction and speed of the referee's avoidance. Then the ball is to be passed.
Just rebounding to Yao's position, this kind of comprehensive coaching and judgment is simply not something that some simple-minded players can do. How did he do it?"
"It's so weird. It's really weird. I've used all the words from all walks of life as a commentator for fifteen years, but I can't describe my surprise now."
On the sidelines, Thunder coach Brooks also widened his eyes: This kid's passing is comparable to Magic... No, not just comparable. His passing seems to have surpassed Magic. Magic's
Although the passing is very fancy and very unexpected, this kid's passing has reached the point where he can do whatever he wants. Not only can he control the ball as he pleases,
Controlling the ball, he can even use anything and even people on the field as he wants. It is no longer uncommon to use rebounds, the floor, the opponent's sneakers, and the opponent's back to pass and pass. Now he actually
He used the trick of using the referee. Oh my god, it is unimaginable for ordinary people, he actually did it easily. What kind of player is this?
Thinking of this, head coach Brooks vaguely felt that the focus of their defense in this round of the series may not be Harden and Warcraft, but the Chinese point guard, Wen Hao.
With another goal, Westbrook finally showed his speed advantage. When facing Wen Hao's defense, he easily broke through Wen Hao, rushed to the Rockets' basket with a fast break, and scored with a powerful dunk against Huashan.
After landing, he raised his head and roared, just like in the opening scene
The depression of being suppressed by Wen Hao before and facing Wen Hao after losing two goals in a row after the game finally came out at this moment. But he was not satisfied, and he wanted to continue to attack Wen Hao. So after finishing his roar,
He glanced at Wen Hao provocatively.
In response to Wei Shao's provocation, Wen Hao just smiled faintly and said to himself: Wei Shao is still so fierce... But on the basketball court, being fierce is not enough, you have to use your brain.
The Rockets continued to attack, Wen Hao caught the ball in the frontcourt, and Wei Shao immediately came to defend, absolutely not giving Wen Hao any chance to shoot a three-pointer.
Wen Hao glanced at Harden. Although he has unbreakable breakthroughs, the success rate is not too high in the face of Westbrook's physical talent, so at this time he needs Harden's pick-and-roll.
But although Harden plays well in pick-and-rolls, he has always been the ball-handler in pick-and-rolls. As a screener, he really doesn't know how to move or pick-and-roll.
Of course, Wen Hao didn't expect Harden to take the initiative to help him pick and roll. So he dribbled the ball and rushed towards Harden.
Harden also understood Wen Hao's thoughts at this time. When he was about to turn to one side, Wen Hao tried to pass the ball around him.
Wei didn't see this happening and was busy trying to get around Harden from behind to block Wen Hao, while Harden's defender also wanted to block Wen Hao from the front.
But at this moment, Wen Hao suddenly made a small change of direction when he was breaking through to the left, passing through the defenders of Wei Shao and Harden.
Under such circumstances, once it passes through, it will be difficult to defend back. Wen Hao went directly to the basket.
At this time, Wei Shao ran over to Wen Hao regardless of his safety. He couldn't bear to be played by Wen Hao again and again. He must prevent Wen Hao from shooting, even at the cost of a foul.
Yes, he succeeded. Wen Hao failed to shoot, and he did commit a foul. But at the same time as he fouled, a "swish" sound sounded above his head. Wei Shao was startled, looked up, and saw the referee's signal.
The Rockets' three-pointer was effective, and Wei Shao fouled once.
Wei Shao couldn't believe it. He had obviously guarded Wen Hao to death. How did he score this goal? And it was a three-pointer.
Looking at the replay on the big screen above his head, he finally understood. It turned out that when he was chasing Wen Hao, Wen Hao's pass had already hit the ground from Dayao's crotch to Harden on the outside. And because
Dayao's body was huge, but Wei Shao did not see this scene.
At this time, the Rockets had already played 7-2, and Coach Brooks had to call a timeout. Although the 7-2 point difference was not too big, this was the playoffs and there was no room for negligence. Moreover, after Wen Hao’s super play before the start,
With the ultra-long three-pointer and the performance in the first two minutes, the Rockets' momentum has been completely improved, but the Thunder's momentum is a bit weak, so he must call a timeout and talk to the players. The Rockets cannot let the momentum be reduced.
Press it down.
On the Rockets' side, McHale smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just before he came on the court, he clearly told Wen Hao to shoot more three-pointers to stretch the opponent's defense. But after Wen Hao came on the court, he didn't shoot a three-pointer at all. Instead, he
The ball was passed, where did he, the coach, put his face?
Fortunately, the effect of Wen Hao's actions was very good, and the Rockets scored 7-2.
The timeout ended quickly and the two sides continued to play. The Thunder attacked. This time, after dribbling the ball past half court, Westbrook handed the ball directly to Durant instead of attacking himself. It seems that during the timeout just now,
, their head coach Brooks made adjustments to the Thunder. Although Wei Shao also learned from the experience in the last game of the regular season, he did not try to compete with his personal abilities.
Needless to say, Durant is a scoring machine when he gets the ball. Parsons can't guard the tall and long Durant at all. Durant got rid of Parsons' defense with a turn, and then went directly to
Basket.
But the Rockets have Yao and Warcraft stationed under the basket, and it is extremely difficult for him to score under the basket.
Of course, this couldn't help Durant. Halfway to the basket, he suddenly stopped and leaned back with his upper body. Although Howard rushed over and Parsons followed, Durant
He is tall and has long arms, so he can hit easily.
Looking back, Wen Hao was going to catch the ball in the backcourt, but Westbrook directly came to the full-court defense. With his excellent physical fitness, and another full-court defense, no matter which pointer
Wei will not have it easy.
Sure enough, Wen Hao moved left and right to get rid of Wei Shao to catch the ball, but he had no chance. However, Harden was also very smart, and seeing that Howard was also very smart, he saw Wei Shao's back turned to him, and immediately hit the ball in Wei Shao's back.
on his back, then jumped into the field and got the ball.
Wei Shao was guarding Wen Hao when he suddenly felt a heavy blow on his back and knew something was wrong. When he turned around, he saw that Howard had already got the ball. Wei Shao instinctively stepped forward to block Howard, but Howard had the height advantage after all and could easily pass the ball.
Got out.
When Wei Shao looked back, he saw that Wen Hao had already passed halftime. It turned out that when he turned around to block Howard, Wen Hao was already running towards the frontcourt.
At this time, Wen Hao dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and he was defended by the Thunder's split guard. But after all, the Thunder's split guard did not have the physical fitness of Wei Shao. Wen Hao just made two slight changes and added
He turned around, lost him at close range, and then charged inside.
When Ibaka came over to defend Wen Hao, Wen Hao threw the ball into the air. After Howard got the ball, he smashed it directly into the basket.
Wei Shao came back from the Rockets' half at this time. With an annoyed look on his face, he took the serve and carried it to the frontcourt. Given his personality, his only idea at this time was to break through, make a jump shot in front of Wen Hao, and beat Wen Hao.
Flowers, beaten to shame.
But Coach Brooks said it first. The most important thing today is victory, not personal morale.
Therefore, Brooks had to pass the ball to Durant. Durant went inside, forcing the Rockets to help defend. At this time, he passed the ball to Westbrook. Westbrook was unguarded.
He didn't waste the opportunity and hit the target.
Looking back, he did not provoke Wen Hao again, but directly defended Wen Hao personally.
But this time the Rockets were well prepared. Dayao took the ball directly in the frontcourt, and then gave it to Wen Hao when Wen Hao ran past him.
After Wen Hao got the ball, he sprinted forward.
Seeing this, Coach Brooks on the sidelines yelled to Wei Shao: "Catch him, don't let him shoot a three-pointer."
When Wei Shao heard this, he was angry and ran after Wen Hao.
Wen Hao had already entered the three-point line and passed the free throw line at this time. When Wei Shao estimated that Wen Hao was about to take off, he also jumped up from behind to block the shot. His extremely terrifying physical fitness, such a jump made him
His knees actually reached Wen Hao's shoulders.
However, although Wen Hao collected the ball and took off, he did not take a shot. Instead, he flicked his wrist and the ball bounced backwards.
At the same time, Dayao, who was following up, came just outside the three-point line and received Wen Hao's pass comfortably. The feeling that he was bound to hit the ball came spontaneously, and Dayao did not hesitate and took the shot directly.
In the eyes of everyone looking up, the basketball was like a heavy cannonball, almost whistling across the sky, and smashed into the basket with a "boom". (To be continued.)
