After Jeremy Lin came on the court with a group of substitutes, he also played very well. Without Harden and Howard, he controlled the ball. He also played well in the pick-and-roll with No. 11 and Asik. The first half
In the last four minutes of the game, he had 3 assists and 6 points. Although the Mavericks' main players caught up with the score, it was not too close. At the end of the first half, the Rockets still led by 8 points 67 to 59.
Rockets fans are rejoicing at this time. It seems that the Rockets are in a good situation. Although 8 points is not a lot, the momentum is completely on the side of the Rockets. In addition, it is at the Rockets' home court. It is possible for the Rockets to win this game.
The last name is very big.
After halftime adjustments, the two sides returned to the court again. At the beginning of the third quarter, the Mavericks still had all their main players on the court. They really didn't want to lose. The Rockets also had all their main players on the court. McHale was on the court in the third quarter.
At the beginning, Wen Hao was not allowed to play with the main players, but Jeremy Lin was allowed to play. After all, Jeremy Lin is still the main player. If he is suddenly put on the bench, it will have a great impact on Jeremy Lin's mood.
After the Rockets' main players came on the court, they still played at a fast pace. However, after the Mavericks made adjustments in the midfield, they retreated faster. The Rockets failed to make several consecutive fast breaks and had to fall into position. But in
In positional battles, Harden often encountered heavy defense, and Jeremy Lin was also restricted. Although Warcraft inside kept trying to play pick-and-rolls with Jeremy Lin and Harden, the Mavericks' defense was also very tight. After the pick-and-roll, the ball could not be passed to Warcraft. In this way, five
At the end of the minute, the Mavericks had already chased the score to just 4 points. McHale had to call for a timeout.
During the timeout, McHale said to Wen Hao: "Wen Hao, get ready to play."
After the previous games, McHale has also understood that when the Rockets are dragged into a positional battle, Wen Hao still needs to break through and pass. Although Jeremy Lin can also break through and pass, he is the Rockets' main point guard.
The opponent has already understood his habits and playing style, so it is not too difficult to defend him. But Wen Hao has just played a few games, and the opponent is not familiar with him at all, and does not understand his habits and playing style. It is not difficult to defend him like this.
It's very difficult for him.
After the timeout, before taking the court, Howard said to Wen Hao: "Hey, brother, we are fighting together again." He seemed very excited.
Wen Hao nodded.
Howard didn't mind Wen Hao's lack of words. He continued to smile and said to Wen Hao: "Just like the passes in the first half, there are a few more. I keep catching the ball and dunking. It's really exciting."
"There will be." Wen Hao glanced at Howard and saw that Howard's expression was like a child looking forward to a new toy. People say that Howard's character is like a child, which is really true.
After re-entering the court, Wen Hao dribbled the ball past half court and still handed the ball to Harden. After all, Harden is currently the Rockets' undisputed ace, and the offense naturally starts from him.
Harden tested the ball twice, and then suddenly made a three-pointer. But his condition today was not good, and the ball bounced out of the basket. Howard struggled for rebounds in the paint, pointed the ball to the outside, and flew toward Wen Hao.
go.
At this moment, Howard saw Wen Hao's eyes, and saw that Wen Hao's eyes were not looking at the ball, but looking at himself. At this moment, Howard realized something, and he was busy blocking the position under the basket.
Sure enough, as Howard thought, after Wen Hao caught the ball, he threw the ball back immediately without any thought at all. The arc was exactly the same as when he pointed it to Wen Hao just now, but in the completely opposite direction.
The Mavericks players never thought that Wen Hao would be so bold as to pass the ball back to Howard, who was double-teamed by two people, so they did not guard carefully. Howard had already expected that Wen Hao would pass the ball and blocked the best position. Seeing that
The ball flew over his head, and he jumped high and succeeded in another alley-oop. Turning his head, he grinned like a child, pointed at Wen Hao, and shouted: "Good pass!"
Wen Hao had a calm smile on his face, he seemed to always be so calm.
Ellis is not as calm as Wen Hao. Although he also scored 12 points over Wen Hao, he is different from Wen Hao. He is an upright main player. How can 12 points be enough? Moreover, Wen Hao
He couldn't stand the fact that good balls or breakthroughs were passed in front of him again and again.
"Damn Chinaman..." Ellis said this through gritted teeth, his eyes extremely cold.
The next time the Mavericks attacked, Ellis faced Wen Hao's defense and directly passed Wen Hao and rushed inside. But Howard saw the right moment and covered the ball with his palm. Ellis did not dare to get angry with a big name like Howard.
, could only glare at Wen Hao fiercely.
The Rockets attacked, and this time Wen Hao dribbled directly to the frontcourt. Originally he wanted to hand the ball to Harden, but Howard suddenly came up to help him with the pick-and-roll, and he took advantage of the opportunity to get inside.
"I won't let you succeed!" Ellis roared and rushed after Wen Hao. But Wen Hao had already taken action. He didn't even look at it and threw the ball toward the backboard. After the ball bounced off the backboard, the ball bounced behind him.
Howard followed up and jumped high, standing out from the crowd and smashed the ball into the basket.
At the same time, Ellis couldn't control himself and pounced directly on Wen Hao, and the two of them flew towards the baseline at the same time.
The referee's whistle sounded quickly. Howard counted the two points and awarded Ellis a pushing foul. Wen Hao made a free throw.
So under Ellis's resentful gaze, Wen Hao added two more points with a free throw. He had already scored 14 points in this game, a career high.
Ellis subconsciously looked back at the head coach, and saw that the head coach looked extremely ugly, as if he was about to be replaced at any time. And the boss Cuban looked like a statue, as cold as ice. Ellis knew that the two people's hearts were
My evaluation of myself may have dropped to an all-time low. And all of this was brought about by Rockets No. 5.
Thinking of this, Ellis dribbled the ball and rushed towards Wen Hao. At this time, he wished he could just run over Wen Hao. He shook slightly, then passed by Wen Hao, while keeping his right elbow.
Very covertly, he pushed Wen Hao on the lower abdomen. Wen Hao staggered back a few steps and covered his lower abdomen. Ellis made a jump shot, turned around, and finally breathed out, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, sneering.
He looked at Wen Hao, then turned around and walked away.
Wen Hao looked at Ellis's back, his expression remained as usual, and he still looked so calm. But anger had risen in his heart, and while the anger was rising, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
If Ellis saw Wen Hao's smile at this time, he would definitely think of a word to describe it: the sneer of a murderous god!
