288 The True Colors of the Killing God Five Thousand Words
Soon, the two sides took the field to fight in the fourth quarter. Naturally, most of the main players of the Rockets and Thunder were resting as soon as the game came on. The Rockets were played by Parsons with a few substitutes; while the Thunder was played by Wei.
Don't play with a substitute.
At this time, Dayao was not on the court, Warcraft was not on the court, and only Asik was stationed in the paint. This was the right path for Westbrook. Within three minutes, he reached the basket several times in a row and successfully dunked twice.
, causing a foul on Asik.
In these three minutes, the Thunder finally completed the overtake. They overtook the Rockets by 1 point with a score of 88. Although it was only a 1-point advantage, this was the Thunder's first overtake in this game. Therefore,
The Thunder players were so energetic that at the Rockets' home court, they actually roared with a momentum that only the home team can have.
Seeing this, Wen Hao immediately asked the head coach for instructions: "Coach, it's time for me to play."
Naturally, head coach McHale did not refuse. In fact, he had wanted Wen Hao to play for a long time, but Wen Hao was very tired from playing today, and he wanted Wen Hao to rest for a while. Now Wen Hao asked for help, and he agreed without saying anything.
Already.
When Wen Hao came on the court, the main players of the Rockets naturally did not sit back and watch the show. They all stood up and asked for orders. McHale immediately asked them all to come on the court, except for Harden, who was still bleeding from the corner of his eye.
The Rockets attacked, Wen Hao dribbled the ball, and faced Wei Shao's defense. He used Dayao's pick-and-roll to pass Wei Shao, and then pulled up and made a mid-range shot. The basketball hit easily.
Wen Hao felt happy, it seemed that his touch had returned.
The fans at the scene were overjoyed. As long as Wenhao regained his touch, they would feel more relieved.
In the Xinlang live broadcast room, beauty Zhou Ling'an also became happy when she saw this: "Wen Hao hit two points, and his shooting is back."
"I just hope that Wen Hao's shot can bring back the touch of the rest of the Rockets, and then this game will be great to watch," Yang Yi said.
The Thunder's coach, Coach Brooks, frowned slightly at this time. Everyone else on the Rockets can have his touch back, but Wen Hao can't. Because Wen Hao can pass the ball, if we focus on defending him, he will definitely miss it.
Others. When Wen Hao passes the ball and others are open to shoot, their touch will be quickly restored.
When the Thunder attack, Durant still has top-notch touch, and the Rockets still can't guard him.
Looking back, Wen Hao also dribbled and hit a three-point jumper.
Seeing this, the head coach of the Thunder team shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Focus on guarding him, and double-team him if necessary."
Durant glanced at Wen Hao and said to himself: "Don't worry, I won't let you succeed easily."
During another Thunder attack, Durant ran without the ball, caught the ball again and made a jump shot, and the basketball hit again. The Rockets' defensive players shook their heads helplessly. They simply could not defend Durant's attack.
.
But looking back, when the Thunder planned to focus on marking Wen Hao, Wen Hao stopped taking the ball. Like Durant, he kept running inside and then suddenly pulled to the outside to attack Parsons.
Si yelled: "Pass the ball!"
Parsons naturally heard it and passed the ball to Wen Hao. Wen Hao caught the ball and shot. He had unsolvable mid-range shots and unsolvable three-pointers. He was confident that his style of play could not lose to Durant.
.
Sure enough, before Wei Shao pounced on him, he had already hit two points. Wei Shao glared at Wen Hao hatefully.
When the Rockets attacked again, the Thunder no longer used Wei Shao to defend Wen Hao, but used Durant, who was tall and long-armed, to defend. In this way, even if Wen Hao used the catch-and-shoot offensive method, Duran
Te also has a great chance to interfere with his shooting.
However, when the Rockets attacked again and Wen Hao hit a three-point jumper after receiving the ball in front of Durant, the Thunder coach found that he had thought wrong. Wen Hao's shot was released very quickly, as long as it was not in the air
If you block the shot before shooting, it is impossible to block him. Even though Durant is tall and has long arms, he still cannot block Wen Hao when he catches the ball and shoots a jumper.
In the Xinlang live broadcast room, beauty Zhou Ling'an said: "These few minutes are completely a performance of Wen Hao and Durant's scoring performance, which makes people's blood boil."
"Although it's not a duel between James and Durant, the past few minutes have still made my palms sweaty," Ke Fan said.
"Yes, this kind of scene is the easiest to make people excited. If it was before, Wen Hao and Durant would not have such an effect. But it is different now. Wen Hao has grown a lot and can make people feel like this.
This feeling is enough to show that he is almost growing to the level of the league's top superstar." Yang Yi said in analysis.
However, when everyone was paying attention to Wen Hao and Durant, they ignored the existence of the other person.
This person is Westbrook.
How could Westbrook lack performance in this kind of battle? He was ignored for the whole game, and he was already unwilling to accept it. At this time, seeing Durant and Wen Hao locked in a stalemate, and the Thunder and Rockets also locked in a stalemate, he couldn't hold it back.
live.
He is going to explode!
At this time, the Rockets were attacking, and Parsons knew that Wen Hao would catch the ball and shoot a jumper, so he slowly dribbled the ball outside the three-point line and waited for Wen Hao to come out from the inside. Sure enough, Wen Hao penetrated the inside for a moment.
, Durant was blocked inside by Yao and could no longer follow. Wen Hao took the opportunity to run out of the three-point line and opened his hand to catch the ball.
When Parsons saw this, he did not hesitate. Seeing Wen Hao running out, the ball in his hand also flew towards Wen Hao.
At this moment, Westbrook, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly jumped out from behind like a cheetah, intercepted the ball in the air like an eagle flapping a bird, and then rushed forward with the ball.
Yiqi Juechen. Absolutely Yiqi Juechen.
All the players on the court, including Wen Hao and Durant, could only follow Westbrook's back with their eyes, watching helplessly as he suddenly took off one step inside the free throw line. After gliding in the air, he dunked hard with one hand.
, making the entire basket tremble.
"A tough guy, an absolutely tough guy!" Yang Yi said in the Xinlang live broadcast room, "I would rather break than bend, and would rather die than surrender, an absolutely tough guy!"
"You can run horses with your arms, and you can stand people with your fists. If we talk about the tough guys in the league today, Wei Shao will undoubtedly occupy one of the seats." Ke Fan also said.
Beauty Zhou Ling'an didn't know what to say at this time. She was surprised. She was surprised that someone in the world could reach such a height so quickly. Is this still a human being?
Wei Shao dunked successfully and landed on the ground. He raised his signature leg extremely high again, took two exaggerated steps, raised his head and roared.
With this goal, the Thunder opened the point difference to 4 points. This was the most points they had ahead of the Rockets in this game.
When Wen Hao saw this, he was secretly shocked. He knew that Wei Shao was not an easy man and would not be so silent for the whole game. He would definitely explode. But he didn't expect that he would explode in this way. With a majestic strike
His dunk announced his explosion. This once again raised the Thunder's momentum to a higher level. The Rockets' momentum took a hit as a result.
But at this critical moment, he couldn't back down at all. Although the rest of the Rockets had a tendency to regain their touch, the Rockets simply couldn't withstand the outbursts of Durant and Wei Shao. So.
You still need to use all your scoring abilities at this critical moment.
The Rockets attacked again. Wen Hao still followed the previous strategy, planning to catch the ball and shoot after crossing the frontcourt. Although Wei Shao intercepted one just now, as long as the Rockets passer pays more attention, it is impossible to let Wei Shao pass the ball again.
Brooke succeeded so easily.
But for this ball, when Parsons got the ball in the backcourt, Westbrook directly pressed him in the backcourt. With Parsons' height, it was impossible to dribble the ball by himself under Wei Shao's crazy pressing.
Go to the front court.
As a last resort, Wen Hao had to return to the backcourt, took the ball from Parsons, and carried it to the frontcourt.
But this played into the Thunder's hands. Durant and Sefolosha double-teamed Wen Hao directly from the backcourt. Wen Hao had no choice but to stop the ball. At this time, eight seconds were about to expire, and the ball
Before halftime, Wen Hao had no choice but to ask the referee for a timeout through the gap in the crowd.
But after a short pause of twenty seconds, although the Rockets dribbled the ball past half court, Wen Hao was interfered by Wei Shao when he was shooting, and the ball missed the basket. Wei Shao dribbled toward the goal again.
Frontcourt.
Another outstanding performance. With his speed, no one on the Rockets can keep up with his pace as long as he rushes forward.
"Bang!"
With a crisp sound, he smashed the ball into the basket, and the Thunder led the Rockets by 6 points.
Under Wei Shao's explosion, although the Rockets played very hard in the next three minutes, the Rockets players also found their touch. However, under the bombardment of Wei Shao and Du Shao's left and right fists, when the time was still
With three minutes left, the Thunder already led by 10 points.
At this time, McHale had to grit his teeth and call another timeout. Although the long timeout was gone this time, and there were only two short timeouts left, if he didn't call it this time, I'm afraid there would be no chance to call it later.
Already.
At this time, the entire Toyota Center fell into silence. There were nearly 20,000 fans, but it was not as loud as Wei Shao's roar. The commentary on the scene was also weak. The entire Rockets team was already a little panicked.
Although McHale was still hysterically encouraging the Rockets players, it could already be seen from his eyes that he was also a little disappointed. Under the crazy attack of the Thunder's second young master, McHale had really started to
Disappointed. Is it possible to chase 10 points in three minutes?
If even the coach is disappointed, then the team is finished.
However, Wen Hao did not give in, he still had to fight. He would never admit defeat until the last moment. Even at the last moment, he would not admit defeat. Even if he really lost in the end, he would never admit defeat.
This is the spirit you need!
After the timeout, both sides continued to play.
Soon, the Rockets attacked for the first ball. This time, Wen Hao dribbled the ball himself. The Thunder obviously didn't expect that Wen Hao, who had been implementing a catch-and-shoot strategy, would suddenly hold the ball. For a moment, he was unprepared, and Wen Hao drove into the paint.
.Pick the basket and shoot.
But maybe Wen Hao was a little impatient, and the goal didn't go up.
Seeing this, the commentator on the sidelines said: "The Rockets are in chaos. They are really going to collapse. They didn't even score such a close layup. It can be seen that the Rockets really have no fighting spirit."
"It looks like this," another commentator said, "the Rockets are in such a state now that it is extremely difficult to catch up to 10 points in more than two minutes and 40 seconds. And the Thunder still have the ball now.
If this goal is scored, the point difference will be widened to 12 points or even 13 points, and it will be even more difficult for the Rockets to beat."
As he spoke, the Thunder had already dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Wei Shao faced Wen Hao, knowing that the Rockets were far behind in points, and he was anxious and might come up to press him, so he was ready to pass the ball at any time.
But Wen Hao did not step forward to press for it at this time. The more this moment happens, the more calm he must be.
Seeing this, Wei Shao was stunned for a moment, and then continued dribbling. However, due to fluctuations in his heart, he made a slight mistake when dribbling, and Wei Shao actually dribbled the ball to his feet. Wei Shao, seeing this, hurriedly leaned forward,
Want to get the ball back.
At this moment, Wen Hao moved. He rushed forward regardless of his own safety, and used a diving gesture. When Wei Shao's hand had already touched the ball, he slammed the ball down.
Wei Shao knew that this was not good, so he rushed towards Wen Hao on the ground to grab the ball. The worst he could do was to cause a scrum.
But Wen Hao had already passed the ball before he landed. Parsons had already rushed to the frontcourt and dunked, allowing the Rockets to narrow the point difference to 10 points.
Seeing Parsons succeed in dunking, Wei Shao cursed secretly in his heart and glared at Wen Hao. It's all because of this kid. But it's just this once, and he will never let him succeed again next time.
The Thunder continued to attack. After Wei Shao got the ball, facing the Rockets' defense, he slowly dribbled the ball again.
Now there is only a little more than two minutes left, and the score is still 10 points away. To be on the safe side, the Thunder team uses a delaying strategy.
Wen Hao faced Mr. Wei, still standing there steadily.
Jeremy Lin next to him knew that Wen Hao alone could not guard against Wei Shao, so he immediately wanted to come over here and double-team Wei Shao with Wen Hao.
But at this time, Wen Hao shook his head at Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin was stunned. Wen Hao doesn't need a double-team? What does this mean?
But since Wen Hao had this plan, he didn't force him to come over and double-team him.
Wei saw this and sneered in his heart. This kid is really arrogant. Does he think he can guard against me alone?
Thinking like this, Wei Shao has decided to play this ball alone. From the beginning to now, he has passed Wen Hao countless times. As soon as he accelerates, he will immediately throw Wen Hao eight blocks away. Now Wen Hao
If Hao wants to guard against him alone, isn't he seeking death? Since he wants to die, let him die.
Wei Shao's dribbling rhythm suddenly accelerated and he was about to break through Wen Hao's defense.
But at this moment, when Wei Shao moved to the right and then changed his hips to break through to the left and reached the limit of speed, his whole body easily passed Wen Hao. But with a light touch in his hand, the ball disappeared.
Wei Shao was startled. When he turned around, he saw that Wen Hao had already dribbled towards the frontcourt. It was a one-handed dunk.
Wei Shao was not surprised by Wen Hao's dunk. What surprised him was that he had clearly passed Wen Hao, so why did the ball in his hand suddenly disappear? And it disappeared silently.
Durant came over at this time, patted Wei Shao on the shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, let's try another ball."
Wei Shao nodded and dribbled the ball toward the front court.
Next to him, Wen Hao kept guarding him. Wei Shao dribbled sideways while arching forward. His body was stronger than Wen Hao's. With such an arch, Wen Hao kept retreating. He was about to retreat past the center line.
At this moment, when Wen Hao saw that Wei Shao was about to use his strength to strike again, he suddenly dodged to the left.
Wei Shao felt that there was nothing in front of him. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. He had to run two steps before he could steady his steps.
But at this moment, Wen Hao saw the right opportunity and suddenly started to move when Wei Shaogang was steadying his steps. He tapped his right hand and hit the ball just right, causing the basketball to fly away.
Then Wen Hao made a diving dive, threw the ball into his arms, then stood up, dribbled the ball and ran towards the front court.
Wei Shao was naturally unwilling to give in and was already on guard against Wen Hao.
Wen Hao dribbled the ball in three steps, came to a place two steps outside the three-point line, and took a bold shot.
Wei Shao didn't expect that Wen Hao would suddenly take action from such a long distance, and rushed over to defend. He knew that this kid might hit a three-pointer as long as he passed the half court. But it was too late, the ball had already passed over his head.
past.
Seeing this, the commentator on the sidelines couldn't help but lamented: "You're too impatient, you're too impatient, why do you want to waste three-pointers?"
"Although we are still 8 points behind with less than two minutes left, there is no need to rush. Slow down and play slowly. It is better than shooting three-pointers like this. This shot was ridiculously wide."
In the Xinlang live broadcast room, Zhou Ling'an couldn't help but screamed when she saw Wen Hao shooting from such a long distance.
Ke Fan shook his head repeatedly: "I missed the target, I was too anxious."
Yang Yi also nodded: "Wen Hao was indeed too anxious. He could have stabilized just now and waited for the other Rockets players to come back before passing it to the inside twin towers. This would be safer."
Thunder coach Brooks was secretly happy: "Wen Hao is already anxious, and his shot selection is no longer so reasonable. It seems that this game is won."
At this time, Wei Shao looked up and watched the ball pass over his head, and sneered secretly in his heart: "You don't even need to look at the backboard to know that the ball is deflected, it's ridiculously deflected."
But at this moment, a figure flashed past him and flew towards the inside line.
Wei Shao had just landed after jumping to block the shot and had no time to chase back.
That figure was none other than Wen Hao. After he took the shot, he immediately ran towards the inside.
At the same time, the basketball hit the backboard and bounced back. After Wen Hao caught the ball, he made a dunk.
As soon as this goal was scored, the whole audience was shocked.
After a while, the commentator on the sidelines said in surprise: "It turned out to be...a goal scored in this way."
"It turns out that he didn't just shoot, but threw the ball towards the backboard to get past Wei Shao!"
"It's so imaginative. How could he figure it out at such a critical moment?" (To be continued.)
