The last road game of the Rockets' consecutive road trip was against the Nuggets.
In the past two seasons, the Nuggets have suddenly emerged and become a strong team. Their players are generally young and have outstanding physical fitness. The players headed by McGee are extremely fast and have powerful jumping. In the game, they
They often defeat their opponents with their hurricane-like speed and terrifying bounce. They are known as the Denver Track and Field Team.
The Rockets faced off against the Nuggets. Both are fast-paced teams. Relatively speaking, the physical fitness of the Nuggets players is much better than that of the Rockets, so it can be said that the Rockets have met their nemesis. This game is destined to be a
A tough battle.
Wen Hao knew that his performance in the previous two games was poor, and he didn't know if the head coach could still give him a chance to play. If he played, would he still perform as poorly as in the previous two games, and would his contract be renewed after this game... these things
It all made him feel uneasy.
After changing into training clothes, Wen Hao leaned against the wardrobe in the locker room, his eyes flickering.
Seeing Wen Hao's appearance, No. 11 hesitated for a moment, then came over and patted Wen Hao on the shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Hao came back to his senses and smiled at No. 11: "It's nothing."
"That's good. You are very likely to face Nate Robinson in this game. That is a very difficult opponent. You have to be careful."
"Yeah." Wen Hao nodded.
No. 11 glanced at Wen Hao again, still a little worried. But now that the game is about to start, there is no time to think about it. There are many problems that can only be discussed after returning to Houston after the game.
Twenty minutes later, players from both sides entered the court to warm up. When Wen Hao entered the court with a group of Rockets players, the 19,099 spectators at the Pepsi Center Arena burst out with huge boos. The atmosphere at the Nuggets' home court could almost be seen with the naked eye.
Seeing the overwhelming pressure, the Rockets generals couldn't help but frown.
"What a great home court," the bearded Harden said.
"The timid team will be scared to death, so why play?" Howard, who has always loved joking, said with a smile.
"It's not easy to take away a victory from here." Parsons smiled unnaturally and said.
"Because it's not easy, that's why we have to do it." Harden waved his fist.
…
At 9:30 in the evening, the match between the two sides officially started. This match was also broadcast live on CCTV. Yu Jia made the opening remarks as usual, and then said to Yang Yi next to him: "The Chinese fans are most concerned about this match, naturally.
It’s the performance of No. 11, we all know that. So besides No. 11, what else are worthy of Chinese fans’ attention, please tell everyone, Mr. Yang.”
Yang Yi cleared his throat and said: "In addition to No. 11, I actually think Chinese fans should also be concerned about the performance of another Chinese player Wen Hao. Wen Hao has successfully squeezed into the Rockets' team through the previous games.
Rotation lineup. However, as other teams pay attention to him and target defense, his data has almost plummeted. What we should pay attention to is whether he will play during the rotation time in this game, and whether he will be able to play after playing.
We should not break the restrictions imposed on him by our opponents, this is what we should focus on."
"As a Chinese defender, we are very much looking forward to his performance in this field."
"But one thing I'm worried about is Wen Hao," Yang Yi continued. "Today is the last day of Wen Hao's second short contract. There was news before that the Rockets are likely to renew Wen Hao's contract. But these games
Wen Hao's performance has declined too sharply. If he is still like this in this game, it will be very difficult to renew his contract. Even if he can renew his contract, the contract will not be too big. Chinese guards are in a difficult situation in the NBA. I sincerely hope that he will be able to renew his contract today.
I performed well late and got a good contract.”
"Let us bless Wen Hao. Although many Chinese fans don't like Wen Hao very much and call him Mr. Wen, after all, he is Chinese and our compatriot. I hope tonight will be a good night for him.
"
…
At the Pepsi Center Arena, the two sides were engaged in a tug-of-war on the court, with the scores taking the lead alternately. Since both sides played at a fast pace, their physical strength was almost consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye. With four minutes left in the first quarter,
Both sides made substitutions one after another.
McHale glanced at the bench, glanced at Wen Hao, hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and said: "Wen, come on, use your passing to help the team hold off the score. It can only give them a 5-point lead at most."
,do you understand?"
Wen Hao nodded and walked onto the court side by side with No. 11. No. 11 said to Wen Hao: "Wen Hao, tonight is very important to you. It is related to tomorrow's contract. You have to work hard."
Wen Hao was slightly shocked and nodded. He really has to work hard. Tomorrow's contract and whether he can play next are closely related to tonight's performance, so he must give a perfect performance tonight!
When the commentators on the sidelines saw that the Rockets had sent Wen Hao, one commentator joked: "Oh? The Rockets actually let No. 5 play. Those two moves on No. 5 have long been seen through by other teams. He has played in the past two games.
His performance has declined so much that McHale still lets him play? Is he crazy or am I crazy?"
"Hahahaha," another commentator laughed, "Maybe McHale is unavailable now. Their backup shooting guard Brewer has not recovered from his foot injury, so he can only let the Chinese play. I think once the announcement is made,
Ruhr recovers and the Chinese will once again have no ball to play with."
"That's right, and I bet that the Chinese can't have more than five assists tonight," the bald commentator said.
This commentator originally just said it casually, but another commentator smiled evilly and asked: "I don't expect him to have five assists, but nothing is absolute. What if he exceeds it?"
The bald commentator touched his bald head, obviously remembering the big-mouthed Kerry kissing the donkey's butt. Mr. Ba has learned from the past, and he will not play with fire again.
Thinking of this, the bald commentator smiled slyly and said, "If he gets more than 5 assists, I will treat him to dinner."
"Tch, it's boring." Another commentator said with a blank look on his head.
The bald commentator showed a mysterious look and said: "Don't underestimate my meal. I can guarantee that this is a meal that any player would like to eat, even those big-name stars."
"Oh? I just want to see what kind of meal this is."
The bald commentator smiled again and said: "Let's wait until he gets 5 assists. I'm not optimistic about this Chinese at all."
Amidst the chatter of the two commentators, substitutes from both sides have already appeared. Wen Hao's battle of fate begins tonight.
