He watched Wen Hao keep moving back and forth with three balls in his hands, as relaxed and natural as an acrobat. His surprise reached an unprecedented level. For half a minute, his mouth opened slightly in surprise.
He didn't even close it. Half a minute later, his Adam's apple squirmed before he slowly said: "Perfect... so perfect..."
At this time, he had already forgotten his previous intention to say that Wen Hao's level was not up to standard, and couldn't help praising him.
Beverley next to him was also stunned with surprise. He had heard that Paul used two balls to pass people, but he had never heard of someone who could dribble three balls to change direction under the hips, and also do it so smoothly. In his mind,
In the previous world view, it was impossible for a normal person to dribble to such an extent. But now, Wen Hao's dribbling completely subverted his perception.
On the court in the distance, the Rockets players gradually noticed Wen Hao's three-ball performance with both hands. They all stopped what they were doing. They had forgotten about training and were all shocked by Wen Hao's acrobatic dribbling performance.
No one has ever seen anyone dribbling like this before, not even in street basketball.
At this time, the training hall was unprecedentedly quiet, with only the sound of Wen Hao dribbling constantly echoing - bang bang bang...
Point guards like Brooks looked at Wen Hao with envy. How happy it would be for a point guard to have Wen Hao's level of ball control. Although Jeremy Lin had seen Wen Hao dribbling like this before, this time
He was still very surprised. Harden was also a little envious. If he had Wen Hao's excellent dribbling, he would have at least one or two fewer mistakes in a game. In that case, he would get 2 to 3 more points. Sometimes, it's
These two or three points can determine the outcome of the game.
…
The silence lasted for more than a minute before Morey broke it. He waved his hand to Wen Hao to indicate that it was okay to stop, then turned to look at McHale with a smile on his face: "How is it?"
McHale, who was intoxicated by Wen Hao's wonderful dribbling, came back to his senses. His old face turned slightly red, and then he said seriously: "Point guard, absolute point guard!"
"Hahahaha..." Morey laughed out loud this time.
McHale thought for a while and continued: "It seems that I was really prejudiced against him before, and I was wrong." Then he turned to Wen Hao and said seriously: "Wen Hao, I was prejudiced against you before, can you forgive me?
me?"
Wen Hao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that head coach McHale could admit his mistakes to a player with a short contract like him. To be honest, it would be a lie to say that he didn't hate McHale. No matter how he performed, he never seemed to get McHale's approval, so he
While he was frustrated, his hatred for McHale grew day by day. But he didn't expect that when McHale realized his mistake, he took the initiative to apologize to himself, a player with a short contract, which made his hatred disappear instantly. Now it seems,
McHale doesn't seem as annoying as he used to.
Thinking of this, Wen Hao nodded and said: "Coach, there is nothing to forgive or not, you are also doing it for the benefit of the team."
McHale once again expressed his admiration for Wen Hao in his heart. Chinese players are always so humble and polite, and No. 11 is the same, and so is Wen Hao. He smiled and nodded and said: "As long as you understand, I will do it in the next game."
If you are given enough playing time, you will play the No. 1 position."
Hearing McHale's promise, Wen Hao's heart suddenly bloomed, as if hundreds of fireworks were set off in his heart, so brilliant. A man who has been on the bench for ten thousand years, a man who can't get a head coach even if he performs well.
A recognized short-term contract player suddenly received a promise of playing time from the head coach. It was like a dream coming true. How could he not be elated?
But Wen Hao's face didn't show it too much. He just showed his emotions and anger. He nodded to the head coach: "Thank you."
Morey, who was standing next to him, saw Wen Hao's performance and admired in his heart: Being able to remain so calm in the face of sudden happiness is an essential psychological quality for a point guard. Wen Hao, I read you right.
Head coach McHale also nodded and said to Wen Hao: "As the general manager said, you will come on as a substitute in the next game. Your main task is to play pick-and-roll with No. 11 in the positional battle. You will practice today and tomorrow
This, the night after tomorrow, in Washington, be ready to play at any time."
Wen Hao nodded lightly, turned around and walked towards No. 11. His pace was neither hasty nor slow, as steady as ever.
Morey watched Wen Hao leave with a smile and said to McHale next to him: "I don't see that you still have a good habit of correcting your mistakes when you know they are wrong."
McHale raised his head and boasted in a rare way: "Of course."
"However, since he is going to be used, why don't you help him design some tactics?"
"Although he has impressed me with his dribbling, on the court, when he is a real rotation player, I still have doubts about whether he can have the same outstanding performance as in the past. So, now he still plays the way he does.
, so that I can better observe his habits. If he can't do it, continue to sit on the bench; if he can, design a few sets of tactics for him based on these habits." At this time, McHale's eyes flashed with the look of an old coach.
deep.
"Oh, you know this better than me, so I won't ask any more questions." Morey nodded and said nothing more. Looking at the combination of Harden, Howard, Wen Hao and No. 11 Chinese combination on the court, in his mind,
A rocket that makes the entire league tremble has begun to take shape.
Two days later, the Rockets flew to Washington. This was Wen Hao's first time here. Although he had been in the NBA for more than a year, he was laid off many times during this period. Most of the time, no team wanted him, and he was unemployed.
Therefore, it is a miracle that he has not been here once for more than a year. But this is definitely not something he wants to mention, and he has made up his mind that in the near future, he must let everyone
Everyone knows his name, and his name can only be accompanied by glorious records, not these weird and shameful records.
The Wizards' record in the past two years has not been good, and the players have not been very good. Since Agent 0 Arenas left, the team seems to have lost its vitality.
But the Rockets, who just ended their losing streak, dare not take it lightly. On the court, there is no absolute weak or absolute strong. Even a strong team like the Heat will be defeated by a weak team. And the past one
This season, the Wizards have ended the winning streak of strong teams many times and are known as the "win-streak terminators." Therefore, McHale reminded the players not to let a single point slip.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the match between the two sides officially started. As a substitute, Wen Hao naturally could not come on the field as soon as he came up. He sat off the court and watched the players from both sides fighting, and the blood in his heart began to boil...
