At the Staples Center, 18,997 spectators wore white home jerseys, rendering the Clippers' home court into a sea of white. Such a scene can usually only be seen in the playoffs, but today, the spectators were surprised because of a Chinese boy
With a big statement, he spontaneously put on a white home jersey and came to the scene. Before the game started, the fans had already collectively shouted: "p3..."
cp3, Chris Paul, the star of this team, the pillar and hope of this team. The fans will not allow him to be blasphemed by anyone.
"Oh, look, our mascot is here." The commentator, Lawler, suddenly shouted.
Following his gaze, Oscar winner Nicholson was scanned on the big screen.
In fact, the Lakers and Clippers do not have real mascots. However, whenever there is a game at Staples Center, Nicholson will be there, so he is nicknamed the mascot here by fans.
Nicholson sat in his VIP seat, greeted some fans around him, and then began to search the Rockets rest area. He wanted to see if that arrogant Chinese boy was brave enough to make such big talk.
A moment later, he found a Chinese man with black hair and yellow skin on the bench in the Rockets dugout, casually scanning the court.
"Oh, is this the kid?" Nicholson couldn't help but chuckle.
After a while, the game started. McHale, as usual, sent out their twin towers-the combination of Howard and Asik, plus Parsons, Harden and Jeremy Lin. This is the Rockets' regular starter this season.
Wen Hao sat off the court, not looking anywhere else, just staring at Paul on the court. Watching Paul play was definitely a pleasure. He was like a court elf, constantly shuttled among the crowd, but his opponents took advantage of him.
There is nothing he can do. If he is not careful, his ball will suddenly disappear, and when it appears the next moment, it has already flown from the hands of his teammates to the basket.
After all, Paul is also a player Wen Hao admires, but tonight, he wants to challenge Paul. Only by challenging Paul can he quickly become the number one point guard in the league. This is his ambition.
With five minutes left in the first quarter of the game, the courtside commentator Lawler could no longer hold back: "What's going on with McHale? Why not let that arrogant Chinese kid play? Since that kid said he wanted to challenge Paul, then...
He should be allowed to play now to see how powerful Paul is. Otherwise, if Paul goes off to rest in a few minutes, even if that kid comes on the court, what's there to see?"
"Maybe the Chinese guy had stage fright and didn't dare to play, so he asked to sit on the bench." Another commentator, Smith, said with a malicious smile.
"I think since that kid said such harsh words, shouldn't we invite him to perform?" Lawler looked at the DJ and blinked.
DJ understood and immediately shouted on the microphone: "No. 5, come on, No. 5, come on..."
Although the Clippers also have No. 5, that player was not on today's roster. Therefore, when the audience heard DJ's shout, they immediately understood and the whole audience shouted: "No. 5, come on, No. 5."
, come on..."
"I hope McHale won't be confused. Nearly 20,000 fans are asking for their No. 5 to play. He can't always keep the Chinese on the bench, right?" Lawler said with a smirk.
McHale frowned slightly. He knew the purpose of these fans asking Wen Hao to play. He was thinking whether he should let Wen Hao play now. At this time, Dayao Yao's eyes glanced over, and McHale saw Dayao asking Wen Hao to play.
Nodding to himself, he hesitated again, and finally made up his mind and said to Wen Hao: "Wen, it's your turn to play."
Wen Hao had been waiting for this moment for a long time. As soon as the coach shouted, he had already stood up and took off his training clothes.
"Oh, the Rockets' savior is here." A fan said with a mocking tone.
"The Rockets are now 7 points behind. As long as he plays, the Rockets will immediately lead by 7 points. This is someone who has the ability to challenge Chris." Another fan was extremely sarcastic.
"Hey, Chinese..." Nicholson still chuckled, his laughter full of disdain.
Amidst the ridicule of almost everyone, Wen Hao finally made his debut, and the opponent he faced was the opponent he said he wanted to challenge, the number one point guard in the league today - Chris Paul.
Paul had already heard Wen Hao's remarks about challenging him, but he didn't care at all. He was not as angry or disdainful as other American players. He didn't even talk trash, he just played his game well. He
On that baby face, one could not tell whether he was happy or angry with Wen Hao. He took the ball from his teammate and moved it forward.
When he came to the frontcourt, it was Wen Hao who defended him.
Paul didn't make any fake moves at all. When he slowly dribbled the ball in front of Wen Hao, he suddenly accelerated. With his excellent speed and strong body, he squeezed past Wen Hao. Wen Hao didn't react at all.
Being squeezed like this again, he almost fell to the ground. He could only watch helplessly as Paul drove into the paint, threw the ball into the air, and Griffin dunked with an alley-oop, instantly detonating the Staples Center.
"His defense is like shit!" one fan shouted with laughter.
"My mother is better at defense than him."
"I wonder if he even knows what defense is."
…
The fans' jeers poured down on Wen Hao mercilessly. Even the commentator Lawler said with a smile: "Did the Rockets move the statue to the stadium?"
Amidst the overwhelming sarcasm, Wen Hao had a faint smile on his lips.
After receiving the ball from Sparks, Wen Hao quickly pushed forward. Except for Sparks, everyone else in the Rockets ran forward quickly on both sides. The Clippers players slowly returned to defense. In this case, with
Wen Hao's speed means he can't play fast break anyway, so they don't have to worry.
"Oh, does he want to launch a fast break?" A voice was obviously mocking, "Snail also wants to launch a fast break?"
"Too slow, too slow..." Nicholson said, shaking his head with a smile.
"The Rockets have always played at a fast pace, and now they have this Chinese point guard who is not much faster than my 20-year-old car. Does he still want to play fast break? Hahahaha..." Lawler laughed.
explain.
But the next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly.
I saw Wen Hao, who was dribbling behind all the Clippers players before halftime, suddenly raised his hands high and threw the ball forward. The basketball passed through the waists of the two defenders and passed through Griffin's
It passed under the crotch and just got into the hands of Parsons who was already in position.
The ball was passed so suddenly that the two Clippers defensive players had no time to react. Even Parsons did not expect that Wen Hao would pass the ball and pass the ball, because in his opinion, there was no chance that Wen Hao would pass the ball.
There was no space to pass the ball. However, the ball just slipped into his hands.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly started, and before the opponent could react, he dunked successfully.
At this moment, the jeers quietly disappeared and were replaced by shocked gazes. In a daze, the fans seemed to see Magic Johnson again.
