The head coach of the Wizards said these two words in disbelief. His eyes were like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. In his mind, the white man from the Rockets could not make a mid-range shot at all.
The number of shots he made was pitiful, and the number of hits was even less. He could count two slaps. Today, he actually caught the ball and shot, and he even hit the ball. It was so weird, so weird. Thinking of this, he looked at it with doubts.
Wen Hao took a look: Rockets No. 5 is a bit weird. As long as he passes the ball, the hit rate is extremely high. The rest of the Rockets have a hit rate of more than 70%. Not to mention, even
The big center No. 11 hit two three-pointers after receiving his pass. Now even Asik, who never shoots, hit a mid-range shot. It's really weird...
Rockets coach McHale was relieved when he saw Asik's mid-range shot. Luck, really luck...he thought in his heart.
At this time, with this goal, the Rockets had tied the score. The Wizards fans at the scene were slightly quiet. Under the current situation, the team was in poor condition, and they naturally could not raise their emotions. What they expected,
It's just that the substitutes can hold on for another two minutes, and when all the main players come back, I hope this situation can be reversed.
But the hope is beautiful, but the reality is a cruel mess. Just these two minutes completely ruined the Wizards' hope.
Another attack, Wen Hao still pick-and-roll with Asik. And this time when he broke through, Asik even took a step back, stepped on the three-point line to receive Wen Hao's pass, and hit two goals again.
point.
"Timeout, timeout..." the Wizards coach waved his arms wildly and shouted to the referee in a rapid voice.
"It's so surprising," a commentator said after seeing this scene. "It's so surprising. The Wizards coach, who is always known for his calmness, can be so excited. It's really surprising."
"Of course I'm surprised, and it's not just you. I believe everyone here is as surprised as you. The Rockets are shooting like crazy. Even Asik, who has never made a hit, is now almost shooting beyond the three-point line.
Now, can he not be excited or nervous?"
"And we have to see that these strange hits by the Rockets all come from assists from No. 5. With his assists, No. 11 can shoot three-pointers, and Asik can shoot mid-range and long-range shots. This was something that was unthinkable before.
No. 5’s assist seems to have a magical power that can make the person assisted reach a very high shooting percentage.”
"It's very weird. This Chinese is really weird. If I were his teammate, I would also want to receive his pass."
At this time, McHale was surprised and looked at Wen Hao with admiration. In fact, Wen Hao's suggestion just now was to let him and Asik play pick-and-roll. Everyone has always seen the two Chinese playing pick-and-roll, but never
I have seen other people participating, so I will definitely not guard against Asik. In this way, Asik will have a chance, as evidenced by the three consecutive hits just now.
"This Chinese's mind is really not simple." McHale secretly admired. But there was one more thing he didn't expect. He didn't expect that the Chinese and Asik's pick-and-roll would be so effective. Three pick-and-rolls and three hits.
"It seems that it's not just luck."
McHale greeted the Rockets benches with approval. He was the first to say to Wen Hao: "Wen Hao, your method is quite effective. Now the Rockets are two points ahead, and a lot of it is due to you."
.”
Wen Hao nodded slightly and said, "Coach, as long as it's useful, I'm worried that it won't be useful."
McHale has learned a lot about Chinese people's humility. He smiled and said: "Sometimes you don't have to be too humble. What's yours is yours, and no one can take it away."
"Yeah." Wen Hao nodded again.
"According to what you just said, this is only the first step. In the next two minutes, if you follow your second step, you will definitely disrupt the Wizards' position." McHale's eyes were slightly excited.
.This should be the first time he discussed tactics with a substitute player. And it was also the first time he fully accepted the suggestions of a substitute player.
Except for a few of the Rockets' main players, the other bench players were a little confused. It was as if the conversation between the head coach and Wen Hao was on a completely different level, a level they couldn't reach at all. The sourness in Brooks's eyes was less, and it was more...
Most of them admire him. During the years when he was the Rockets' first firepower, he never discussed tactics with the coach. It seems that he is indeed not as good as Wen Hao, at least in terms of the flexibility of his brain.
Not as good as Wen Hao.
On the Wizards' side, their coach was already having a headache. He had already anticipated what would happen next, but under the current circumstances, he couldn't think of a solution. He scratched his head in a rare move.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead again, and in desperation, he had no choice but to say to Okafor, another main insider: "After the timeout, you come on the field, Nene defends No. 11, and you kill Asik. Absolutely not
Let them start the pick-and-roll again."
"Yes!" Okafor said confidently. He is the absolute main force, and Asik is just a substitute for the Rockets. It is not a piece of cake to win Asik.
But he thought things too simply. After the timeout, the situation on the court was not at all what he thought.
In the Wizards' first attack, although they scored inside, the shot was high and floating under the shock of the twin towers of No. 11 and Asik. The rebound was picked up by Wen Hao and brought to the frontcourt.
Okafor was directly stuck on the line of the penalty area, preventing Asik from playing the pick-and-roll. But when all the Wizards players focused on Wen Hao and Asik, No. 11 mentioned the free throw line, for Wen Hao
Hao pick-and-roll. Wen Hao went inside and made another weird pass, helping No. 11 hit two points.
Looking back, the Wizards no longer dare to go inside. The Rockets' twin towers on the inside daunt them, so they can only shoot from the outside. As a result, the shooting rate naturally drops. The Rockets get the rebound and move it to the frontcourt.
Wen Hao controlled the ball. This time the Wizards focused their attention on No. 11, but Asik took the opportunity to come up and once again set up a pick-and-roll with Wen Hao.
In the third offense, most of the Wizards players followed the coach's instructions and moved inside to prevent No. 11 and Asik from setting up a pick-and-roll for Wen Hao. But this made it even worse. Wen Hao didn't even look.
The ball flew towards Beverley. Beverley naturally hit another three-pointer.
In this way, when the Wizards defend Asik, they have No. 11 and Wen Hao to pick and roll; to defend No. 11, they have Asik to pick and roll; if they focus on the inside, the Rockets will have another three-pointer from the outside. In less than three minutes, the Rockets played a wave of 13
A score of 3 gave the Rockets a 12-point lead in one fell swoop.
The Wizards head coach held his head in his hands, his eyes dull. It's over, it's over...
