Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Wen Hao took the serve and slowly advanced towards the frontcourt. The rotating lineup played at a slow pace, and he did not need to move at full speed like the main force. When he arrived at the frontcourt, Wenhao still faced
Lucas III's defense. The Jazz seem to be planning a last-ditch effort and have not replaced their main players until now.
Lucas III was facing Wen Hao at this time, his eyes were fixed on Wen Hao's eyes, and a sharp and almost death-like look burst out from his eyes, making people feel that he seemed to be crazy.
But Wen Hao didn't care about this. He just smiled lightly and said uncharacteristically: "Do you still want to be knocked down by me?"
This time it was Lucas III's turn to be silent, his eyes becoming more sharp and crazy.
With an indifferent smile on his face, Wen Hao started dribbling four times in a row, and then suddenly made a sharp change to the left, shook Lucas away, and scored inside with a throw. Looking back,
He glanced at Lucas lightly from the corner of his eyes and walked in front of him with his head held high.
"Oh, Rockets No. 5 challenged Lucas III. It's rare to see him." A commentator on the sidelines said.
"It's really strange. Rockets No. 5 was not only full of confidence tonight, but also uncharacteristically took the initiative to provoke Lucas III. This has never been seen in Chinese players. Isn't China known as a land of etiquette?"
"In short, Rockets No. 5 tonight feels a bit strange to us from beginning to end. He is not the humble No. 5 that Rockets fans are familiar with. He seems to have vented all the resentment he has accumulated over the past two years on the Jazz. Oh.
, it seems someone is going to be unlucky tonight."
In the commentary, Lucas III dribbled the ball to the Rockets half, easily broke through Wen Hao, and hit the ball before No. 11's defense.
Looking back, when Wen Hao was dribbling, No. 11 and Asik wanted to pick and roll for him, but he shook his head, flatly rejected their kindness, and just relied on one person to break through Lucas III's defense.
Scored a layup in the paint.
After this back and forth, the game between the Rockets and the Jazz turned into a one-on-one duel between Wen Hao and Lucas III. The two refused to give in to each other, and neither could guard the other.
"Oh, this doesn't look like two teams playing at all, but more like a performance by two people. Everyone else came to the field as spectators. This kind of game is really unique." The commentator said.
"Yes, at least in my commentary career, I have rarely seen such a scene. Even in the game between Kobe and James, I have rarely seen such a grudge between the two."
"If the head coaches of both sides don't call a timeout, I don't know how long this situation will last."
Before the commentator finished speaking, the situation on the court suddenly changed. When Wen Hao was holding the ball and about to break through, Lucas III, with blood-red eyes, suddenly rushed forward and cut off Wen Hao's hand with lightning speed.
With the ball inside, he headed towards the frontcourt and made a one-handed smash, which immediately detonated the entire audience.
Looking back, Lucas III did not have any proud expression, his face was still like a statue, his eyes were like blood, staring closely at Wen Hao.
At this time, Wen Hao was really surprised. He looked at his hands in disbelief. Since his point guard heart activated the "unsolvable breakthrough", the theoretical breakthrough success rate reached 70%, but in reality on the court
He has never missed a game. In his impression, "unsolvable breakthrough" means that it is impossible to break through, let alone be intercepted. How can it be intercepted by a Lucas III?
Not only Wen Hao was surprised, but also the Rockets players and McHale. Since Wen Hao started to break through, except for Wen Hao's active mistakes, they had never seen him get intercepted while dribbling.
After a moment, Wen Hao came back to his senses, took the serve, and continued to move towards the frontcourt. This time, in order to try an unbreakable breakthrough, he directly signaled all his teammates to pull away. He faced Lucas III's defense alone, and again
It was four consecutive crotch dribbles. But this time, before his four crotch dribbles were finished, Lucas pounced over again, and with a tap of his right hand, he knocked the ball away. And his body was in contact with Wen's body.
Hao passed by, took control of the ball and launched a fast break. He rushed to the frontcourt and made another one-handed dunk, narrowing the point difference to 8 points.
"Wow..."
The Energy Solutions Arena was boiling again, and this goal pushed the atmosphere here to another level.
"Oh, Rockets No. 5 made two consecutive mistakes and gave the opponent 4 points. I don't know if he was too careless or because Lucas III's defensive intensity has increased." The commentator said.
Another commentator answered his question: "I think it's because Wen Hao always changes his crotch direction four times in a row before breaking through, and there is basically no change in his four crotch changes. Lucas has been guarding him.
, had already figured out the pattern of his direction changes, and only then interrupted him twice. It is undeniable that Rockets No. 5 is very talented in passing and breakthrough, but what he lacks is experience. Compared with the experienced Lucas
Said, he is still too young."
"What is Wen Hao doing?!" On the bench, Harden looked at No. 5 on the court in surprise.
"Did he take the wrong medicine?" Howard was also in disbelief. This was not like the usual Wen Hao.
McHale also shook his head and wanted to replace Wen Hao, but looked at the time and saw that there were only the last 8 seconds left in the third quarter, so he gave up the plan of substitution. At least it was the last 8 seconds, and he would not do it again.
Is it such a low-level mistake?
At this time on the court, Wen Hao once again looked at his hands in disbelief, and there was a blank feeling in his mind. What's wrong? What's wrong with me? That skillful dribbling on weekdays, the butterfly-like crotch
It changed direction and was broken so easily? What happened?
When Wen Hao was in a daze, the referee on the sidelines had already signaled the Rockets to serve. No. 11 patted Wen Hao on the shoulder in confusion and reminded him: "Meet the ball."
Only then did Wen Hao come back to his senses and walked to the backcourt with an "Oh" sound. After receiving the ball, he dribbled to the frontcourt. There were still 5 seconds left, enough for him to break through for a layup or pass the ball. He faced Lu
Cass III hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and thought to himself: I don't believe that my unsolvable breakthrough can be broken. Even if it is not a 100% breakthrough, it is impossible to make mistakes every time.
Thinking of this, Wen Hao faced Lucas III again and started dribbling with his hips.
Lucas III had no expression on his face. When he saw Wen Hao dribbling, he immediately rushed towards him.
Wen Hao was shocked. He had become allergic to Lucas III's steal. He subconsciously put the ball away, then hurriedly jumped up and threw the ball against Lucas III's defense one step away from the three-point line.
.
The basketball drew an imperfect arc in the air and flew towards the basket in the eyes of Jazz fans who were gloating and in the eyes of Rockets players who were disappointed...
