Rockets vs. Wizards. Both sides fought fiercely from the beginning, going back and forth without giving in. The Rockets' fast pace made the Wizards suffer a lot, but the Wizards relied on their players' neurotic sudden outbursts to keep the score tight.
Hold on. McHale is a little anxious. At this point in the first quarter, he can't even open the score. If this tie continues, in the second half, the Wizards will have another nervous outburst, and the Rockets will be hard to beat.
.
But now it's rotation time, and the main players need to take a rest. McHale can only pin his hope of opening up the score on the Rockets' substitutes. During the timeout, he glanced at the Rockets bench, and then gestured to several people,
Let them play, including Wen Hao.
Wen Hao was the most excited. He stood up as if he was electrified. He knew that he would be in the rotation in this game, so he had been waiting for this moment. This was more than a year after he entered the NBA.
You can imagine the excitement in my heart when I join the rotation for the first time.
The Rockets' ten thousand year old substitutes looked at Wen Hao and several other substitutes gathered around the head coach to listen to the coach's arrangements. Their eyes were full of envy, and maybe a little bit jealous. They and Wen Hao couldn't get into the game before.
They are substitutes on the field, and in their opinion, Wen Hao's skills are far worse than theirs. But now that Wen Hao has entered the rotation, they are still sitting on the bench, and they are not willing to give in. But what can they do if they are not willing to give in?
It's the head coach's decision.
Head coach McHale took the tactical board and kept writing and drawing. He first told the players about the next play style: "Next, we will focus on positional warfare."
When the players heard this, they all looked at the coach in surprise. The Rockets have always played fast balls and ended their offense within ten seconds. Why did they suddenly have to play positional warfare today? The Rockets don't know how to play positional warfare at all.
The head coach ignored the players' doubts and continued: "You didn't expect us to play in position, and the Wizards naturally didn't expect it. We are going to take advantage of this to catch them by surprise. Beverly, your mission after coming on the field
, that is, dribbling the ball through half court, breaking through when there is a chance, settling down if there is no chance, and handing the ball to Wen. Let Wen organize the second wave of offense."
Beverly nodded, he now has great trust in Wen Hao, and he has no objection to the head coach's arrangement.
Then McHale said to Wen Hao: "Wen, your task is to organize the second wave of offense after Beverley hands the ball to you. We have two excellent big men. You can play more with No. 11 and
Asik plays pick-and-roll. I can see that you are very good at playing pick-and-roll. No matter who you pass to after the pick-and-roll, you can pose the greatest threat to the opponent."
After saying this, McHale clapped his hands and encouraged the players: "You go on the field to defeat their substitutes. I believe you will make the Wizards substitutes frightened. You will let the Wizards substitutes see the strength of Houston, o, come on...
…”
When the Rockets players stood on the court, the on-site commentator was a little surprised: "The Rockets actually sent the twin towers of No. 11 and Asik! Everyone knows that the Rockets play at a fast pace. With these two people on the court, the Rockets can still go faster."
Can you get up? Is McHale trying to defeat himself?"
"It's really strange. The Rockets have never had these two towers on the court at the same time before. After all, this will greatly slow down the Rockets. What happened to McHale today? Is he going to give up the game?"
On the Wizards' side, their head coach was also confused when he saw the Rockets' lineup. But he didn't care. He thought McHale might want to try out the twin-tower style of play.
"Since you want to try, I'll show you how failed your twin towers are." The Wizards head coach said with a sneer in his heart.
Following the referee's whistle, the game continued. Facing Wen Hao was Wizards' backup shooting guard Bradley Beal, a player with an annual salary of $4.32 million.
When Bradley saw Wen Hao coming to defend him, he didn't care at all. Because he thought Wen Hao was very unfamiliar. There are more than 400 players in the NBA, and each team plays 82 games a year. As long as he plays regularly,
Yes, even if they are substitutes, they will know each other. He has never even met Wen Hao now. In other words, this Chinese could not even hit the ball before. For such a player, he has no
Need to pay attention.
The first goal was the Wizards' attack. After they got the ball, they made three passes and two leads to the frontcourt. Bill kept running and trying to catch the ball, but Wen Hao kept staring at him and didn't leave even half a step.
After running for 17 or 18 seconds, there was no chance to get the ball. In the end, the Wizards missed a shot, and Beverley seized the opportunity to counterattack, giving the Rockets a 1-point lead.
On the second goal, the Wizards continued to attack, and Bill continued to move. Wen Hao still followed step by step, making Bill unable to catch the ball at all. The Wizards could only pass the ball between the other four people, but one person was missing. In the tactics
There was one link missing. Their passes were constantly interrupted, and they finally stumbled and missed another shot. The Rockets once again forced a counterattack.
In this way, within one minute, the Rockets counterattacked three times, pushing the score to 5 points in one fell swoop.
The commentator on the sidelines said in surprise: "I thought the Rockets would slow down after entering the Twin Towers, but I didn't expect that with Beverley alone, the Rockets would counterattack three times. This is so unexpected."
Another commentator nodded and continued: "The Rockets' fast-break counterattack is really unexpected. But in fact, it is reasonable. For these three consecutive rounds, the Rockets' No. 5 has been dead.
Staring at Bill from the Wizards, he never touched the ball. As a result, the Wizards' passing chain was missing a link. The passing seemed a bit sluggish and the offensive efficiency was low. This allowed the Rockets to continue to counterattack.
Come on. So these three counterattacks should be credited to No. 5."
"This Wenhao, he knows that his speed, strength and jumping are not as good as Bill's. Once Bill receives the ball, it will be difficult to defend him, so he smartly chose to defend in advance and prevent Bill from getting the ball. This is indeed
A player with a very high basketball IQ."
"There's just one thing I'm worried about for him. Such high-intensity defense is very physically demanding. Can he, a player who has almost never been in the rotation, survive?"
"Only he knows this, let's wait and see."
At this time, Bill was already a little annoyed by Wen Hao. This kind of clinging defense is really annoying. He came on the field just to play, and now he hasn't even touched the ball in several rounds. How can he not be angry?
Big?
Thinking of this, Bill looked at Wen Hao with anger in his eyes and said lightly: "Boy, you make me very angry."
Wen Hao didn't answer, but still followed Bill step by step...
