The two sides are back on the court, and the Rockets' lineup is: center Howard, power forward Jones, small forward Parsons, scoring guard Harden and point guard Wen Hao.

For the first shot, the Lakers attacked. As soon as Nash came up, he played a block with Gasol, and Gasol hit a solid shot.

Looking back, the Rockets attacked, and after Wen Hao dribbled past half court, the Lakers did not let Nash, who was opposite him, defend him. Instead, Kobe Bryant posted it.

Wen Hao smiled bitterly: My salary is really high, a defensive leader like Kobe Bryant didn't defend Harden and defended me in turn, D'Antoni, you are really willing.

Seeing this, McHale also understood that D'Antoni was not a defensive coach and couldn't come up with any good defensive methods, and his defensive strategy was to let Kobe Bryant defend Wen Hao. As long as Kobe Bryant is here, everything will be done.

In fact, Wen Hao and McHale didn't know that Kobe Bryant came to defend him, which was not only what D'Antoni meant, but also Kobe's meaning. With Kobe Bryant's surname, if any player on the other side performs too well, he will personally stifle that player. His almost paranoid surname of victory would not allow anyone to go wild on his turf.

Seeing Kobe defending himself, Wen Hao wanted to show his strength in front of Kobe. In the pre-game interview, Kobe Bryant's sentence "Who is Wen Hao", he can't forget. But after the last setback, the mind has matured and knows that this is not the time to be brave and ruthless. He smiled and passed the ball to Harden.

Harden faced Nash's defense, so he easily broke through and shook Gasol with the European step to hit the ball into the basket.

In the next two consecutive times, Wen Hao did not break through again.

Although his success rate of unsolved breakthroughs can reach 70%, that is only theoretical. The specific success rate depends on the opponent's defensive ability. For example, Kobe Bryant, his defense of people with the ball can almost be classified as a first-class level, in the face of Kobe's defense, Wen Hao's breakthrough success rate is only 50% at most, and then subtract the probability of not scoring after hitting the inside line and being interfered with to shoot, his breakthrough success rate is only 3 to 40% at most. So in such a situation, it is impossible for him to choose to break through.

But he couldn't do it on his side, but Harden's side was easy against Nash, and he simply broke through and played in a row.

Seeing this, Harlan, the commentator on the sidelines, couldn't help but applaud.

However, the object of his applause was not Harden, but Wen Hao, who passed the ball to Harden: "This Chinese has a really strong ability to judge and control the situation on the court, after the timeout, seeing that the opponent was defended by Kobe Bryant, and Harden's side was Nash, who was weak in defense, he passed the ball to Harden many times." Not to mention anything else, in terms of control, he has reached the upper middle level. ”

Kobe Bryant glanced at Harden at this time, then at Wen Hao, and said to the Lakers players: "Defend the defense!" "Since Harden likes to break through, let's defend the team.

Looking back, when the Rockets were attacking, Harden just broke in, and he felt like he was in a net, and he couldn't break through half a step at all. In a hurry, he reluctantly made a move, so naturally he didn't enter. Kobe Bryant took the rebound and went straight to the frontcourt. Harden gritted his teeth and caught up with Kobe Bryant, blocking him outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left side.

At this time, Nash was also in the frontcourt, and Bryant turned around and passed the ball to Nash. Harden saw that Nash was unguarded in the fast break and rushed to Nash.

But Nash didn't stick to the ball, and the moment he received the ball, he passed it back to Kobe.

At this time, Kobe Bryant was undefended, like a dragon entering the sea, a tiger descending the mountain, and a 45-degree oblique attack entered, and a signature look back at the moon burst dunk, which made the entire Staples Center boil again. Kobe, who is already 36 years old, can easily make such a move, which is breathtaking.

But the Rockets weren't to be amazed, and they served to the front court as soon as they could. It's Kobe Bryant defending Wen Hao again.

Wen Hao still passed the ball to Harden, and the Lakers once again defended the defense.

In the live broadcast room, Zhou Lingan was anxious and said: "The point difference was widened again by Kobe's dunk, and in retrospect, the Lakers defended the joint defense again, and Harden couldn't break through to the basket, what should the Rockets do?" ”

Yang Yi cleared his throat and said: "The best way to break the joint defense is naturally to play sudden points. Burst a step or two, let the Lakers' defense shrink again, and then distribute the ball to the outside, and the outside line has a chance. ”

However, Harden clearly didn't expect that. At this time, he just wants to fight for breath, face Kobe Bryant to score better statistics, win the game, and thus sit firmly on the throne of the first quarterback. So he didn't plan to divide the ball at all, he took the ball and rushed in. When you see that you can't get in, you throw it outside. But he didn't feel good and missed two three-pointers in a row. The fear of Kobe Bryant in his heart was intertwined with the eagerness to grab the first quarterback, and he once again entered the interior line. But under the Lakers' combined defense, there was a turnaround and an offensive foul.

Seeing this, McHale hurriedly took advantage of the opportunity of the dead ball to replace Harden with Jeremy Lin.

Harden is a big name, but in a situation like this, he has to calm Harden down.

The game continued, and this time Wen Hao dribbled past half court, and the Lakers still defended the joint defense. But in this way, there was room for Wen Hao to pass the ball, Wen Hao passed to Jeremy Lin once, Parsons once, and the two hit three points respectively, narrowing the difference again.

On the sidelines, D'Antoni couldn't sit still and said to the players passing by: "His pass is weird, he can't let him pass anymore." ”

When Kobe Bryant heard this, he immediately gestured to the rest of the Lakers. The Lakers' defense changed again, everyone began to defend Wen Hao's passing route and prevent him from passing the ball, while Kobe Bryant took a step to defend and did not let Wen Hao break through. After two consecutive times in a row, Wen Hao couldn't pass the ball, so he could only throw two shots.

But Wen Hao is not brainless, no need for McHale to say, in the third attack, he did not take the ball, but ran directly to the low post.

Seeing this, Jeremy Lin knew what Wen Hao was going to do. He dribbled to Wen Hao's side, handed the ball to Wen Hao in the low post, and ran to the other side.

Wen Hao turned his back to Kobe's defense, was not afraid in his heart, and took two steps inside. But how could his small body withstand Kobe's impact, not only did he not carry it, but he had a tendency to be squeezed out of the line.

But Wen Hao seemed to be indomitable, and he had to compete with Kobe Bryant physically, and he carried Kobe Bryant for the third time.

Kobe Bryant was ready early, and once again carried it hard to Wen Hao.

But at this moment, Wen Hao's strength was only half used, and he suddenly retreated, with his left foot as the axis, turned forward, flashed Kobe's body, and raised the ball to face the basket.

Seeing this, Gasol hurriedly pounced.

But Wen Hao only lifted half of the ball, but he didn't reach the limit. Taking a step forward with his right foot, he dodged Gasol's block and lifted the ball again to play into the basket with ease.

On the sidelines, Reggie Miller's eyes froze, and then he exclaimed: "False and real footsteps!" ”
