"Coach, I'm tired, can I rest?" Wen Hao directly interrupted McHale's words.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the rocket looked at each other. No one is too much for a player to play for a long time, even if it's the big-name superstars, who would love to stay on the pitch rather than be spectators on the sidelines. Not to mention the substitutes, as long as they can play, they have a chance to perform. There's no substitute who doesn't like to stay on the pitch.

As far as Wen Hao is concerned, everyone can see that the coach wants to compress Wen Hao's playing time in these games, and he was sent on the field today as a last resort. I didn't expect that he had only been playing for 8 minutes now, and he actually took the initiative to ask for a break, which is a big joke. To say that an NBA player will get tired after only 8 minutes of play, the devil believes it.

Da Yao and Jeremy Lin looked at Wen Hao with concern, worried that Wen Hao might have been injured just now.

McHale looked at Wen Hao in disbelief, and in a hurry, he who had always wanted to compress Wen Hao's playing time actually shouted to Wen Hao: "Do you know how precious your playing time is? Just give up? Are you messing with me? ”

At this time, the cameraman on the sidelines saw McHale roaring and immediately came over with the camera. His assistant also carried an extended microphone above the heads of the rocket people, collecting the voices of the rocket people. Of course, the current picture and sound will not be played in real time, and will not be played until the next pause. Otherwise, if the coach is arranging tactics, broadcasting them to others, and being known by the other party, then it will be worth it?

Wen Hao did not shy away from the camera, nor was he afraid under McHale's roar, he just smiled faintly and said to the coach: "Coach, just now I have been breaking through and putting the Lakers into a timeout." This timeout, their manager will definitely set up a defensive strategy against me, and even if I go up again, it will be very difficult. But if I don't play now, won't the Lakers' defensive tactics against me fail? Taking advantage of their surprise, it should be easy for us to play another wave of small **. Since it's easy to hit a small **, why don't we do it? ”

This made McHale stunned for a moment. He looked at Wen Hao in surprise, and the shock in his heart was completely revealed on his face.

Although he knew before that this Chinese was very smart, this can be seen when he usually plays. But he never thought that he could be so smart, and he even thought through what the other party's coach thought about what the rocket should do. And the most commendable thing is that he would rather sacrifice playing time for the sake of the team. For that alone, there are very few people in the entire NBA who can do it.

Thinking of this, McHale's idea of compressing playing time due to Wen Hao's poor execution finally began to loosen.

In his subconscious, he used to think that Wen Hao was disobedient because he was angry and thought that he didn't give him playing time. For such a player, he still has to do it. But now he seems to vaguely understand that Wen Hao is disobedient because he does have his thoughts. And his idea is based on a player's point of view, which is more peculiar than himself from the perspective of a coach, and the opposing head coach naturally can't think of it.

Looking at Wen Hao, McHale's eyes seemed to have a slightly complicated look.

Not only McHale understood, but everyone in the Rockets also understood at this time, and they either looked at Wen Hao with admiration or envy. envy Wen Hao for being so smart and admire Wen Hao's spirit of sacrifice.

Howard patted Wen Hao's head: "How do you Chinese have long brains?" I can't figure it out. If I had to play a few minutes less, I would never do it. ”

Parsons smiled and said to Wen Hao: "Your ideas are very good, especially your sacrificial spirit, which is worth learning from." ”

Harden next to him had a big beard and couldn't see his expression, but his gaze looked a little gloomy.

Soon, the time for a pause came. Players from both sides re-entered.

The Lakers players are full of confidence on the court one by one, and the defensive tactics that the coach has just laid out have been memorized. As long as you defend like that, you will definitely be able to stifle the No. 5 player of the Rockets. D'Antoni has a smile on his face and looks confident.

"Oh, D'Antoni smiled." ESPN's commentator Harden said when he saw D'Antoni's expression.

"It seems that he has already thought of a way to stifle Rocket 5. Both Rocket 5 and McHale have to watch out. Reggie Miller said.

Big-mouthed Barkley insisted on his usual big-mouthed style: "I just said that the Rockets are going to hang today, just look at the expression of the mustache, he must have thought of a way to target Rocket 5, hehe, McHale is going to have a headache again." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Barkley's voice stopped abruptly, like a fly flying into his mouth, and he coughed violently.

He and his two colleagues were surprised to see that the Rockets No. 5 didn't play, and was replaced by the bearded Harden.

D'Antoni's eyes were blank at this time, looking at the Rockets lineup on the court, and he had already greeted McHale's ancestors eighteen times in his heart. The defensive tactics he came up with with with painstakingly thought would completely contain that kid, but he didn't expect McHale to let that kid play, so that his arrangement was completely frustrated.

"McHale, you're ruthless."

In desperation, D'Antoni could only curse in his heart. I just called a timeout, and I can't call another one now, after all, I still have to leave a few timeouts for the second half. And even if it's called now, I haven't figured out how to arrange and adjust it. McHale's change in the old fox was so sudden that he was caught off guard. So let's let the team play for a few minutes before we see.

On the other side of the ocean in China, in a rural village in Shaanxi, Wen Hao's parents are sitting in front of the TV, watching the game broadcast live from the central government with great interest. In the winter, there is basically no work left in the fields, and what they are looking forward to every day is a rocket race. Although they don't know much about basketball, they just want to be able to see their son. But now Wen Hao was suddenly replaced, which made Wen's mother a little anxious, and she asked Duan Ran, who was on winter vacation, next to her: "Duan Ran, why don't you let your cousin fight?" ”

Although Father Wen didn't ask, he also looked at Duan Ran and waited for Duan Ran to answer.

He wants to see his son in good play, and as long as he can see him put the ball in the basket again and again, he will be happy. Now his son is suddenly not playing, which makes him a little anxious.

Although Duan Ran is a fan, he doesn't understand why Wen Hao doesn't play. But according to the recent rumors that McHale was going to compress Wen Hao's playing time, he angrily concluded: "It must be that the coach thinks my cousin is disobedient, so he doesn't let my cousin play." ”

"Alas......"

Wen Hao's parents both sighed: "This baby is so obedient at home, why doesn't he listen to the coach outside?" ”
