1 Assist
Toyota Center, Houston, USA.
Wen Hao sat next to the water dispenser, his eyes blank. The fierce battles on the field, the noise in the Toyota Center, seem to have nothing to do with him, he is from another world.
Tonight is the last night of his ten-day contract, and if he can't prove himself tonight, he'll be cut by the Rockets. That would make him a record 11 teams cut in a season.
"No, this kind of shame will definitely not happen to me, I don't want it!" Wen Hao roared in his heart. However, all he could do was roar in his heart, and there was nothing else he could do. The manager doesn't give him playing time at all, so what does he use to prove himself? Do you want to help the main players lift their shoes before the game?
By this time, the situation on the court had changed dramatically, and the Pistons fought four consecutive counterattacks to overtake the score by 8 points in one fell swoop. At this time, the Rockets' backup scoring guard sprained his ankle, and the main scoring guard Harden was sitting on the sidelines resting because of too much physical exertion.
Rockets head coach McHale was slightly anxious, his eyes swept over the bench, who should he let go? swept around, like a scanner, swept all the rocket players, but didn't glance at Wen Hao. He does not trust the Chinese. Chinese, except for center No. 11, none of them can play basketball at all.
After scanning for a few more moments, McHale sighed, there was really no choice but to let Harden continue to play. When he opened his mouth and was about to call Harden, he suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and the two-meter-twenty-six No. 11 was already standing in front of him: "Coach, let Wen Hao try." ”
"Him?" With a suspicious gaze, McHale glanced at Wen Hao for the first time, thought about it, and looked at Harden again. I saw that the bearded man's chest was rising and falling violently at this time, sweating like rain, and he was obviously very tired. McHale shook his head helplessly, sighed, and exclaimed, "Wen ......"
Wen Hao, who was in a daze, heard the coach calling himself, and his first reaction was that the coach was going to pour water for him, which was a job he had often done in the past ten days. He gritted his teeth, stood up, and was about to turn around to get his glass, but the manager beckoned to him.
Wen Hao was a little puzzled, but the next moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind - do you want me to play?!
As soon as this thought flashed, he could no longer press it, his heart was beating wildly, his face was feverish, and he walked in front of the coach.
"You play, you go up for a while, don't expect you to score, as long as you don't let the opponent's backup quarterback score too many points."
The coach's words are almost an insult to many players, but at this time, Wen Hao can't care so much, as long as he can have one minute of playing time, it is a gift from God to him.
Wen Hao followed the coach's instructions and walked to the field, he didn't know how he got there. The 11th next to him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous. ”
Wen Hao smiled mechanically at No. 11, but he was still extremely nervous. This is the last night of his ten-day contract, and if he can't show himself tonight, he won't know where to go tomorrow. It's a big question if any team is willing to give them a ten-day contract.
At this time, the Rockets controlled the ball past half court, and after a few passes, the ball came to Wen Hao's hands.
The audience at the Toyota Center was a little puzzled when they saw Wen Hao holding the ball, even if the head coach was unavailable, he couldn't use such a person, it was too unreliable.
The Pistons bench point guard who defended Wen Hao also looked at Wen Hao playfully, and didn't even bother to talk trash to Wen Hao.
Wen Hao saw the Pistons bench guard laughing, and the resentment that had been accumulating for a long time in his heart gradually rose. I'm not trash, don't be a person who wants to look down on me. Right over you, tonight, I'm going to prove myself.
Thinking of this, Wen Hao dribbled the ball, he wanted to pass the Pistons, the backup quarterback, he wanted to prove himself, he wanted to stay with the Rockets!
The disdainful smile on the corner of the Pistons' backup quarterback's mouth magnified, and the ball in Wen Hao's hand flew out with a light dip. He was too nervous.
The Pistons seized the opportunity and hit another counterattack to stretch the deficit to 10 points. The Pistons backup quarterback looked at Wen Hao at this time, and the disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth expanded again: "Chinese Yankee, go home and find your mother." ”
On the bench of the Pistons, those players also pointed at Wen Hao and laughed from time to time. To Wen Hao's ears, these laughter were so harsh and heart-wrenching.
Rockets head coach McHale shook his head, looking like he had made a stupid decision. This kid is not the material for playing at all. After tonight, let's go back and forth.
In the next few rounds, the ball was passed back and forth and never reached Wen Hao's hands, and his teammates no longer trusted him. And his opponent, the Pistons backup point guard, scored one after another on his head, and the disdainful smile was amplified again and again, almost taking up the entire head.
McHale has already stood up, he wants to replace the Chinese, can't let him continue like this, this is simply an undercover agent sent by the Pistons. Wait for the next dead ball, and replace him.
At this time, the Rockets attacked again, and the ball was passed back and forth, but still no one passed to Wen Hao, but to No. 11 on the inside. But as soon as No. 11 got the ball, two Pistons players immediately went up to wrap it, and No. 11 had no choice but to pass the ball out of the line, he glanced at it and found that there was no defense in front of Wen Hao, which was a good opportunity. didn't think about it immediately, the basketball had already flown towards Wen Hao.
Wen Hao received the ball, and there was a "buzz" in his mind. He wants to prove himself, and now is the opportunity. With such a thought, he dribbled and killed inside.
Seeing this, the big man on the inside of the Pistons team hurriedly came over to make up for the defense, although Wen Hao was so weak that he couldn't be weaker, but if there was really no one to defend, it wouldn't work.
Wen Hao saw the Pistons' tall inside line pounce, but the idea of proving himself became stronger and stronger. Facing the pistons' inside line, after he dodged, he jumped up directly. But then, the Pistons' backup quarterback suddenly appeared, with a disdainful smile on his lips. Wen Hao was shocked in his heart, if he continued to make a layup, he would definitely be covered.
"Idiot." A fan shouted.
"**, I want to eat hot pot again." Another fan also shouted.
"This Chinese is about to make another mistake, and this is already his fourth mistake in three minutes on the court." The on-site commentary also shouted quickly.
But at this moment, when he saw that the layup was about to be blocked, Wen Hao had an idea, and the hand that had been stretched out suddenly retracted and stuffed it from under the armpit of the Pistons backup quarterback, just in the hand of No. 11.
No. 11 was also slightly stunned, he didn't expect Wen Hao to be able to pass the ball over in such a small space. Then he picked up the ball, jumped up in front of the basket that was no longer defending, and slammed the dunk, so that the basket shook back and forth.
Falling to the ground, he pointed at Wen Hao and said, "It's beautiful." ”
Wen Hao didn't react, he felt as if there was an electric current running through his head.
McHale, who originally wanted to replace Wen Hao on the sidelines, was slightly stunned, and then dispelled the idea of immediate substitution.
At this time, the Pistons' backup quarterback turned his head, glanced at Wen Hao, and said, "Yo, good job, I hope you can maintain this performance for two rounds." ”
The fire in Wen Hao's heart had been completely hooked by the substitute quarterback, but he didn't speak. He just has to prove himself on the field. With this in mind, he quickly retreated to his defensive position.
The Pistons' offense this time, after three passes and two passes, came to their backup point guard. The backup quarterback has scored five points tonight on the Chinese's head, and they trust him.
The backup quarterback really didn't disappoint his teammates, after he changed direction left and right continuously, he suddenly used his body to force past Wen Hao and scored two points inside. Looking back, his smile expanded again: "Chinese, scoring points on your head is as easy as taking off a woman's clothes." ”
Wen Hao didn't speak, he didn't like to talk big, he wanted to prove himself with his strength.
However, he wanted to prove himself, but his teammates didn't trust him. It was another three consecutive attacks, and he didn't even touch the ball once, constantly doing switchback and running on the field. This has become the object of ridicule by the Pistons players again.
"Is this kid here to practice athletics?"
The head coach of the Rockets is already planning to replace Wen Hao again. Aside from that assist, Wen Hao played four minutes without accomplishments. Putting him on the pitch is simply squandering the playing time of other people.
At this time, the Rockets attacked again, and the basketball stopped for a moment in the hands of No. 11, who saw that there was no chance, so he had to pass the ball out. And the object of his pass is still the unguarded Wen Hao.
"Smack." The basketball was accurately grasped by Wen Hao.
When the Pistons' backup quarterback saw Wen Hao getting the ball, he didn't step forward immediately, but slowly moved in front of Wen Hao, smiled disdainfully, and said: "Chinese Yankee, if you have a kind, just play one to prove that you are still a man." ”
When Wen Hao heard this, the long-suppressed anger in his heart jumped up. He's going to prove himself, he's going to have to score this goal. Thinking of this, he had to bend over and dribble.
But at this moment, an electric current crossed his mind, and his body uncontrollably looked at his teammates on the left.
"Passing?" The Pistons bench quarterback smiled disdainfully and immediately pounced to the left, "This kid is just here to help me brush up on steals." ”
But at this moment, Wen Hao's eyes looked to the left, but his hands were raised above his head, and with a hard throw, the basketball flew directly towards No. 11 on the inside. At this moment, everyone didn't expect Wen Hao's first pass to be a feint, they were all deceived, and their attention was all on the outside.
No. 11 subconsciously caught the ball, this time, he was not stunned again, and after taking the ball, it was another explosive dunk.
The entire Toyota Center was boiling in an instant, and the huge cheers were suffocating.
"Good shot!"
"Number 11, that's great."
"I said a long time ago that No. 11 is not old, and he can still play, right."
At this time, an older fan thought for a moment and said: "No. 11 is very good, two consecutive dunks show that he can still gain a foothold in the NBA." But we also have to see that these two assists are from China's No. 5. Especially the second assist, which doesn't look at the pass, is very beautiful! ”
