Wen Hao and Jeremy Lin both play point guard. If Wen Hao plays, Jeremy Lin will inevitably be unable to play. Although Jeremy Lin feels a little sad, there is nothing he can do about it. For more than two seasons, at every critical moment, the head coach will
He was put on the bench, which has almost become a rule. Now that Wen Hao is playing well, it is reasonable not to let him play.
At this time, the Rockets' lineup is Wen Hao, Harden, Parsons, Casspi and Warcraft Howard.
The commentator on the sidelines couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that the Rockets didn't take Wen Hao off: "It's already time for the main players to come on the court. The Rockets didn't let Jeremy Lin come on the court, but still let No. 5 Wen Hao come on.
This is a little confusing.”
"It's really puzzling. First of all, Wen Hao only plays as a backup point guard. He has never played with the main players. After all, his tacit understanding with the main players is not as good as Jeremy Lin. Secondly, Wen Hao's speed is too slow. He has been playing with the substitutes.
Wen Hao plays at a slow pace, but the main players of the Rockets play at a fast pace. Wen Hao may not be compatible if he assumes the main position. Thirdly, Wen Hao plays a point guard and needs to have the ball in his hands to perform.
To bring out his maximum power, and after the main players come on the court, Harden gets the ball most of the time, which will weaken Wen Hao's role. With these three points here, why does McHale still send Wen Hao on the court?"
"Maybe McHale just wants to test whether Wen Hao can have a chemical reaction with the main players. If there is no call with the main players, he will still go back to play as a substitute."
"So, if he cooperates well with the main players, it is very likely that he will play the main position?"
"Maybe."
…
The fact is indeed as these two commentators said, this is what McHale thinks. Although he has always been prejudiced against Wen Hao and would not let Wen Hao play, since realizing Wen Hao's true strength, he has become more and more interested in Wen Hao.
His opinion has completely changed. Especially in the last two games, Wen Hao's outstanding performance has made him trust Wen Hao. So now he sends Wen Hao to play to see if Wen Hao has a tacit understanding with the main lineup. If Wen Hao plays
If he is good, he will be added to the main lineup.
At this time, the Mavericks were attacking. Since Nowitzki came on the court, Ellis didn't dare to rush anymore. After dribbling the ball past half court, he handed the ball to Nowitzki. Nowitzki dribbled the ball against his head.
Casspi took two steps inside, then turned his back, shot a fadeaway jumper, and hit the ball steadily. His Golden Rooster reading jumper is unique in the world. As long as he doesn't miss, no one can guard him.
But as soon as he scored, Howard crossed the baseline and served to Harden. Harden rushed forward and succeeded in a fast break dunk. This is the Rockets' best offensive method.
In the second round, the Mavericks still handed the ball to Nowitzki, and the Golden Rooster once again showed off its power and scored two more points. The Rockets still advanced by Harden on the fast break, and the European step seemed to be transformed, causing the Mavericks' Carter to foul.
.Harden made two free throws.
This went back and forth, for four consecutive rounds, the Rockets continued to use fast pace to score the ball, but Wen Hao didn't even touch the ball in these four attacks.
The commentator on the sidelines said with a smile: "It seems that Rockets No. 5 is really not suitable to be with the main players. His speed is too slow and cannot keep up with the speed of the main players. Often he has just passed the half-time, and the attack has already ended.
Already."
"It's true. He will hold the Rockets back on the court. McHale's experiment failed. It is more reasonable to put No. 5 in the rotation. He and Harden Howard will not call at all."
McHale also shook his head slightly. It seemed that it was not appropriate to put Wen Hao into the main lineup. Relatively speaking, Jeremy Lin was more suitable. Thinking of this, McHale glanced at Jeremy Lin and planned to wait for the next dead ball to put Wen Hao out.
Replace it.
At this time, the head coach of the Mavericks shouted to the players running by on the sidelines: "Quickly retreat, don't let the Rockets start a fast break, haven't you eaten?"
The head coach woke up the Mavericks players with one sentence. After the next offense was completed, they immediately withdrew to their backcourt. Although the Rockets advanced fast enough, they could not find a fast break opportunity and could only fall behind.
Playing position. But in this way, he fell into the rhythm of the Mavericks. Harden tried to break through, but the Mavericks had already arranged a double team for his breakthrough.
Harden had no choice but to pass the ball to Wen Hao, who was unguarded on the left. Wen Hao took the ball and made a fake shot, and Ellis rushed over. Wen Hao took the opportunity to sneak into the inside, near the basket.
He hit the ball against the Mavericks center.
Ellis and the entire Mavericks team don't care too much about Wen Hao's breakthrough. They focus on the modern combination of defense. A small backup point guard is not in their eyes.
The next time the Rockets were out of position on a fast break, the Mavericks still used Ellis and Carter to double-team Harden. Harden once again passed the ball to the unguarded Wen Hao. This time Wen Hao did not fake a shot.
action, shooting a jump shot directly from outside the three-point line.
"Three points of text?!" the commentator exclaimed.
"Wen's three points?" the fans also screamed.
Since Wen Hao started playing, no one has seen Wen Hao shoot a three-pointer. The impression is that he doesn't know how to shoot a three-pointer at all. Now that he suddenly does it, people are naturally surprised.
The commentator looked at the trajectory and arc of Wen Hao's shot, shook his head and said, "It's off."
Ellis turned his head and saw the direction in which the basketball was flying, and sneered: "Three no-touches!"
The fans also shook their heads and sighed in disappointment. Sure enough, they still couldn't shoot a three-pointer.
But at this moment, when the basketball deviated from the basket and flew to the side of the backboard, suddenly, a tower-like figure flashed out, clamped the basketball with both hands, stretched it behind the head, and then smashed it against the basket with the force of a mountain.
"boom--"
The entire basket rack was shaking back and forth, while making an overwhelmed whine.
"boom--"
This time it was the cheers from the Rockets home fans, as loud and enthusiastic as if the roof of the Toyota Center was to be taken off.
"Alley-oop!" the commentator exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually an alley-oop!"
"When everyone thought he was throwing a three-and-done, he actually threw an alley-oop. It was so surprising."
McHale also breathed a sigh of relief, and his plan to replace Wen Hao was abandoned. The Chinese did a good job.
Howard and Wen Hao high-fived each other: "Man, that's a great pass, that's it, come with a few more!"
"I will." Wen Hao said, glanced at Ellis, who looked unhappy, and walked to the backcourt. Ellis gritted his teeth behind Wen Hao: "Chinese, I won't let you do anything again!
Moreover, I will definitely blow you up!"
