The speculations of those few fans spread throughout the stadium in a moment, and all the fans were shocked. They looked at Lucas III still sitting on the floor in disbelief. He was really knocked off by Rockets No. 5
Ankle?!
The Rockets' offense was successful and the first quarter was over. The other players had already taken a rest. The beautiful cheerleaders were ready to go on the court, but Lucas III was still sitting on the floor. The Jazz players originally thought that Lucas III was simply beaten.
He was knocked down, and it was only then that he realized something was wrong. They hurriedly gathered around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lucas III's expression was a little painful, but when asked by his teammates, he seemed a little embarrassed. He couldn't just say that his ankles hurt from being shaken and he couldn't stand. That would be too embarrassing.
At this time, the Jazz team doctor rushed to the court, briefly checked Lucas III's injury, and said: "It should be okay, but further examination is needed. Take him to the locker room." The two Jazz substitutes next to him immediately rushed him to the locker room.
Lucas III stood up and walked toward the locker room.
At the same time, the scene before Lucas III was injured was continuously replayed in slow motion on the big screen. When the Rockets players saw Lucas' expression of pain when he was knocked to the ground by Wen Hao, they couldn't help but smirk. As
As players, they naturally understood what happened to Lucas III. They looked at Wen Hao with smiles in their eyes. Howard directly patted Wen Hao on the shoulder: "I thought I was the most ruthless among the Rockets, but I didn't expect
You were so secretive that you actually broke someone's ankle, it was too poisonous for you."
Harden also bumped Wen Hao's shoulder and said: "You are a player who has no professional ethics. You break someone's ankle if you can't guard him. If I were the referee, I should give you a physical foul immediately."
After hearing Sparks and Bearded's words, all the Rockets players laughed, including the two assistant coaches.
Although Wen Hao's face was still calm, he felt a little proud in his heart. He knocked down a player twice in a row. He can be regarded as the first person in NBA history. Especially when he knocked Lucas III into the locker room, although this
It’s not my intention, but it’s definitely worth being proud of. It’s a highlight in my NBA career.
In the Jazz locker room, the team doctor carefully examined Lucas III's ankle and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing serious. It's just a simple sprain. It will recover with a little movement."
Lucas was relieved when he heard the team doctor's words, but he was not as relaxed as the team doctor. He reluctantly stood up and moved a few times. The pain in his ankle made him grit his teeth. He barely held on to the wardrobe to stand.
, recalling the scene just now, he was filled with anger and punched the wardrobe with a bang: "Chinaman, just wait for me!"
At the same time, the second quarter of the game between the Rockets and the Jazz has begun. At the end of the first quarter, although the Jazz did not come on the bench, due to Wen Hao's outstanding performance, they failed to catch up with the score.
There was still a 5-point difference. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Jazz head coach had to send in substitutes. Instead of letting the main players waste energy on the court, it was better to let them rest in preparation for the next battle.
At this time, the Rockets are a pure substitute lineup. Harden is not here, Howard is not here, and Parsons is not here, so the ball is more handed to Wen Hao. However, he has not broken through these times. Facing the Jazz's substitutes, he
He seems to have suddenly lost interest. In his eyes, these substitutes are not his cup of tea at all. He will only get excited when facing the main force. He likes to watch the opponent's main force being humiliated by him again and again, and finally collapse. That's it.
Like Lucas III just now. When he first came on stage, Lucas III was extremely fierce, but after a while, he was passed by him again and again, until finally he was knocked to the ground by himself, unable to stand up.
After nearly ten games, he already likes this feeling.
Now Wen Hao, after dribbling the ball past half court, throws the ball to the Rockets' No. 11 inside or to Garcia on the outside. The two-point and three-point shooting percentages of these two people are already high, plus Wen Hao
With the addition of Hao's point guard heart, their shooting rate was definitely above 75%. Several consecutive shots made the Jazz unable to parry. Facing the height of No. 11 and Garcia's high shooting rate, they were unable to defend at all.
The head coach of the Jazz had no choice but to replace the two main insiders on the court. As soon as No. 11 got the ball, they stepped forward to double-team, which barely suppressed the performance of No. 11. Then they had more energy to deal with the Rockets' outside players.
.For a moment, it seemed to suppress the momentum of the Rockets.
No. 11 had a feud with the Jazz. He originally wanted to take "revenge" on the court, but unexpectedly he was constantly double-teamed by his opponents, which made him depressed. He waved his fist out of thin air, and No. 11 suddenly made up his mind.
:Since the attack fails, let’s use defense to prevent you from being killed!
In the next round, the Jazz attacked. Their main power forward took the ball, turned his back to No. 11, and planned to play in isolation. They had already caused two fouls on No. 11. As long as they committed one more, No. 11 would have to go off the court and rest. This is also the Jazz's main attack.
Coach Corbin explains their.
He leaned against No. 11 and tried to carry it in, but after two steps, he not only failed to carry it in, but was carried out of the three-second zone. In desperation, he had no choice but to turn around and shoot a jumper.
But as soon as he released the ball, No. 11 also jumped up and swatted the ball down.
But the Jazz were lucky, and the ball fell back into the hands of the power forward. After he got the ball, he made a fake shot, shook away No. 11, and then threw the ball in a tossing posture. But the ball had just left his hand.
, No. 11, who was shaken away, suddenly chased from behind and blocked the shot. The basketball hit the backboard with a "snap" and the rebound fell into the hands of the Jazz center.
When the center saw that the power forward was hit twice by No. 11, he immediately became angry. He jumped up with the ball and even wanted to dunk No. 11.
No. 11, who was already holding back a lot of depression, was unwilling to let him go. He saw the opportunity and jumped up. He rounded his right hand and hit the player in the hands of the Jazz center.
"Crack!"
The microphone on the rim captured the snap perfectly and released it through the live speakers. The entire Energy Solutions Arena echoed with the sound of the big shot.
No. 11 blocked the Jazz center in the face. The basketball lost its power and fell from the air. No. 11 stretched out one hand, grabbed the ball, and threw it hard towards the front court. Wen Hao had already rushed forward when he made the first big block.
On the field, at this time, he received the ball on the fast break and easily scored the ball without any defense.
He didn't look at Wen Hao on the 11th. He looked down at the Jazz center, as if he were looking down at the entire Jazz team and Jazz fans, his eyes like knives. The ill-will that had been simmering for many years, the old hatred of being blocked by the Jazz in the first round, finally came to an end.
I was able to vent my anger through these three big hits!
