The head coach of the Nuggets frowned slightly when he saw Wen Hao's cut. But he didn't care much, thinking in his mind: Coincidence, it must be a coincidence.
McHale on the sidelines saw Wen Hao score two points with an air cut, and felt a sudden enlightenment in his heart. In previous games, he had noticed Wen Hao's shortcomings and knew that Wen Hao could not shoot or break through.
It will limit his development. His suggestion to Wen Hao is to practice shooting and breakthrough more. But this cannot be achieved overnight, so he is not very optimistic about Wen Hao's prospects this season.
I never expected that Wenhao would abandon his original style of playing with the ball and use his free running to cut to the basket to break the opponent's restrictions. Such an open mind and eclectic approach are refreshing. This is the first time I have seen such a player.
.
Thinking of this, McHale's evaluation of Wen Hao became even higher.
On the court, Robinson curled his lips when he saw Wen Hao score a goal. In his opinion, the two points scored by the Chinese just now were purely a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, and there was no way it would happen again.
The game continued, the Nuggets missed a shot, and the Rockets launched another attack. Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball quickly and wanted to make a fast break, but the Nuggets are some perverts and retreated very quickly. Jeremy Lin just entered the front line.
On the court, those people had retreated to the three-point line. Jeremy Lin had no choice but to dribble and wait again.
Wen Hao still didn't ask for the ball and was running without the ball. Robinson didn't dare to be careless this time and stuck to Wen Hao like brown candy. Wen Hao ran out of him and Wen Hao ran in and he ran in. While running, he also ran back.
On the other hand, he said provocatively: "Too slow, too slow, Chinese people."
At this time, No. 11 mentioned the three-point line to cover Jeremy Lin, and Jeremy Lin used this to go directly to the basket.
At the same time, Wen Hao made a circle inside, and instead of continuing to cut to the basket, he ran to the outside line. In the spirit of following Wen Hao even when going to the toilet, Robinson also followed Wen Hao and ran to the outside line. Even
In order to surpass the Chinese, he even rushed to the outside line one step ahead.
But as soon as his front foot crossed the three-point line, Wen Hao suddenly stopped, then turned around and headed inside.
"***." Robinson knew he had been fooled and hurriedly turned around to follow Wen Hao, but it was already too late.
With no one on guard, Wen Hao received a pass from Jeremy Lin and made a layup off the board.
As soon as the ball was scored, the Nuggets head coach raised his eyebrows, and his eyes shot to Wen Hao like lightning: "It's not a coincidence, this Chinese is cutting empty-handed consciously, ***." He thought of calling a timeout.
But it was already the last half minute of the first half, and calling a timeout was too wasteful, so he could only give up the idea.
The Nuggets continued to attack. After Robinson broke through Wen Hao, he hit a jump shot for two points. Looking back, he stared at Wen Hao and still refused to leave: "Chinese, I won't let you get another one on my head."
One point." With this belief, when he stared at Wen Hao, he was always stuck in the inner position. In this way, Wen Hao could not make an air cut at all. Even if he got the ball, he would immediately fall into the Nuggets.
While defending against the surname, return to the original state.
The Nuggets head coach saw Robinson's defense, nodded secretly, and breathed a sigh of relief. This can indeed suppress Rockets No. 5's air cut.
But before he completely let go, he raised it again. After constantly running without the ball, Wen Hao was unable to cut to the basket, but there was an opening at the free throw line. Jeremy Lin's pass was
Come at the right time.
When Wen Hao saw the ball coming in front of him, he did not reach out to catch it. Instead, he waved his arm and used a volleyball posture to hit the ball to No. 11 inside. Because he passed the ball too fast, the opponent's inside didn't notice it at all. 11
No. 1 dunked the ball with a bang, which shocked the entire Pepsi Center.
"Assist No. 5! Volleyball-style assist!" a commentator said in surprise.
"Volleyball assist!" Harper, who was far away in Houston, jumped up in surprise.
"Volleyball-style assist!" In a bar in Houston, agent Yu Song excitedly raised the glass in his hand, and the beer in the glass splashed all over him.
"I didn't expect that No. 5 could find opportunities to assist when he was defending, which is not bad." Baldhead explained.
"Although I don't think highly of him, his volleyball-style assist is really exciting. Very few people can pass the ball like him. And because his passing speed is so fast, the opponent can't react at all, so it's completely possible.
Breaking the Nuggets' targeted defense. What a No. 5. After breaking through the targeted defense with an air cut, he came up with a volleyball-style assist. I have to admit that he is a very smart player. It seems that the Nuggets coach should have a headache.
Already."
The bald commentator shook his head: "Although this assist is wonderful, it is still far from 5 assists."
…
At the end of the first half, due to Wen Hao's performance, the Rockets widened the point difference to 10 points, 60 to 50. Wen Hao came off the field, and head coach McHale rarely smiled at Wen Hao and said: "Wen Hao, well done.
Very good, unexpectedly good!" Wen Hao continuously used air cuts and volleyball assists to break the Nuggets' targeted defense. McHale had to marvel at such basketball IQ.
No. 11 also patted Wen Hao on the shoulder: "Wen Hao, you played very well, keep going."
Wen Hao nodded, but there was no trace of pride on his face. After previous reflections, he had learned not to be discouraged in defeat and not to be arrogant in victory. The game is not over yet, so it is not the time to be proud.
Seeing that Wen Hao was not carried away by the ball, McHale nodded secretly in his heart. It seems that after this ups and downs, No. 5 has grown again.
No. 11 also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he no longer had to worry about Wen Hao for the time being.
At the same time, in the Nuggets locker room, the group was plotting how to strangle Wen Hao to death.
"Coach, the Rockets' No. 5 is very active. Our defense against him before the game seems to be useless. His air cuts and volleyball-style assists make it difficult for us to guard against him." A Nuggets substitute said with lingering fear.
"Coach, we should find a way to stop him. We can't let a short-term contract player ruin our game." Another substitute said.
Other players also asked the coach to find a way to stop Wen Hao.
Only Little Potato Robinson leaned in the corner and said nothing.
The head coach did not answer the players immediately, but smiled slightly and was confident. This made the Nuggets players feel relieved. They all calmed down and waited for the head coach's arrangements.
The coach turned his head, looked at Robinson in the corner, and said calmly: "Beat him, and I will give you more playing time."
In the corner, Robinson, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up straight when he heard this, his eyes burning with fighting spirit: "Yes!"
The head coach looked at Robinson with a smile on his face...
