Ellis was shouting behind Wen Hao, but Wen Hao ignored it. He was now playing like a fish in water on the court.
In another attack, Harden failed to make a fast break and had to fall into position. But as soon as he reached the position, he was immediately double-teamed by the Mavericks. Harden shook his head impatiently and passed the ball to Wen Hao again.
This time, as soon as Wen Hao got the ball, Ellis rushed over. Facing Wen Hao, he had a cold expression on his face: "Chinese, I won't let you have any more assists or any more
Score!" Obviously, he was a little angry. Being played like this by a backup point guard, where did he put the face of his main point guard?
Facing Ellis' defense, Wen Hao put the ball down and started dribbling with his hips. Before each breakthrough, he seemed to dribble with his hips continuously. After four consecutive times, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity and rushed to the right.
Seeing this, Ellis was unwilling to let Wen Hao go. He slid sideways and stood in front of Wen Hao. His face was still cold and angry. This meant that he would definitely not let Rocket No. 5 break through.
But again, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is so cruel. When Ellis slid in front of Wen Hao, Wen Hao suddenly pivoted with his left foot, pulled the ball with his right hand and turned around. Ellis saw this
, took another step to the left. A sneer appeared on his face: too slow, the Chinese's breakthrough speed is too slow.
But before his sneer could finish flashing, his face froze for the third time.
I saw Wen Hao turning halfway, but suddenly stopped, and then turned in the opposite direction with lightning speed. At this time, Ellis just moved to the left, which was equivalent to making a way for Wen Hao. A white streak
The shadow flashed, and Wen Hao had already entered the inside. When the center in the inside came to cover the defense, he took advantage of the situation and threw it. Howard had been waiting there for a long time. After receiving the ball in the air with one hand, he smashed Huashan's dunk to let the basket
The basket groaned again.
At this time, Ellis was still stunned, with only one thought in his mind: Fast, too fast!
Although Wen Hao's dribbling from the hip and breakthrough to the right were slow before, when he really broke through, his speed was surprisingly fast. In Ellis's impression, only Westbrook and Rose's breakthroughs could be like this.
Sharp, I didn't expect that the Chinese's breakthrough was as sharp as theirs.
At this time, the Rockets led by 9 points. Wen Hao's consecutive assists and Howard's consecutive alley-oops ignited the passion of the fans. The beauties on the cheerleading team kept shaking their long hair and twisting their waists. The fans cheered loudly, Toyota Center
The atmosphere has reached **. The head coach of the Mavericks was walking back and forth on the sidelines. He was really anxious. I thought that if the Rockets slowed down the rhythm and dragged them into a positional battle, the Rockets would no longer be the Mavericks' opponents. Unexpectedly, the Rockets suddenly
No. 5 came out and made consecutive breakthrough assists to help the Rockets score. Not only did the Mavericks fail to narrow the point difference, but they were pulled away by the Rockets.
"One more shot, if one more shot still can't control him, call a timeout." The Mavericks coach said to himself.
But the words in his mind had already become a reality before he even finished it.
The Mavericks' German tank encountered Howard's block, and the Rockets attacked. The Mavericks retreated very quickly, preventing Harden from making a fast break. Harden had no choice but to pass the ball to Wen Hao who was following behind. But the ball
Wen Hao didn't stay in his hands for even half a second. He gently pulled the ball in the direction it came from, and the ball flew towards Howard who was following up. Howard had just come back from the backcourt at this time, and there was no one to defend him.
The ball went directly to the basket with a big step, leaped high, and hit the Mavericks center who was as tall as him with a powerful and heavy dunk, sending the Mavericks into a timeout.
"Good shot! Howard's dunk gave the Rockets an 11-point lead. The Mavericks requested a timeout again," the commentator shouted.
"In my opinion, Wen Hao's pass was beautiful. Harden handed the ball to him. He didn't reach out to catch it at all. He just pulled it out gently and the ball flew towards Howard. It looked like it was on him.
Just like the rebound to Howard, the opponent's defensive player couldn't react at all. This kind of pass is really exciting to the extreme." Another commentator shouted.
"Why are his hands so long and so easy to use?"
"In total, this is already his 10th assist in this game. He scored 10 assists and 12 points in 10 minutes. This efficiency is really too high. Originally, we thought Wen Hao's speed was too slow.
It was not up to the pace of the main players. But when the Rockets were dragged into a positional battle and Harden was double-teamed, Wen Hao's breakthrough and passing came into use."
"For a long time, the Rockets' efficiency in positional offense has been low. Now with Wenhao, the Rockets' efficiency in positional offense has been greatly improved. The Rockets need him, he is the last piece of the puzzle for the Rockets to win the championship. Maybe some people think I said this
It's a bit exaggerated, so let's wait and see."
…
When McHale saw that the situation on the court was favorable to the Rockets, he also applauded the Rockets players as they came off the court and patted the players on the back one by one. When it was Wen Hao's turn, McHale patted him on the shoulder just like he did with the main players and said
: "Wen Hao, you did a great job. You are an outstanding player. Remember, the Rockets need you."
Wen Hao's face was as usual, still calm, but he was a little surprised in his heart. McHale had always ignored him in the past, and he was also a little disgusted with McHale. Although McHale later gave him playing time, deep down in his heart
, I still don’t like McHale very much. I didn’t expect that McHale would actually say something like “The Rockets need you” to me today. This is the greatest encouragement for a player.
Thinking of this, Wen Hao's resentment towards McHale has faded a lot.
On the Mavericks side, their boss Cuban frowned and sat there with a dark face without saying a word. The head coach, with a livid face, shouted to the main players: "We were actually held back by the Rockets by 11 points. None of you can do anything."
If you want to rest, continue to play for me until the end of the first half and recover the 11 points behind."
Then he turned to Ellis and shouted: "A substitute player played you like that, Ellis, you should think about it carefully."
Ellis gritted his teeth and glanced at Wen Hao in the Rockets rest area. His hatred for Wen Hao had reached the extreme.
After the timeout, the Rockets put in a rotating lineup. The difference was that this time Wen Hao did not play. He rested off the court with the main players. Jeremy Lin stepped up with the substitutes.
The Rockets' ten-year-old substitutes were filled with envy and hatred. Originally, Wen Hao was on the bench just like them, but after only playing for a few days, he was enjoying the treatment of the main force, while they were still ten-year-old substitutes.
