104 23 points at halftime

"Huh."

Wen Hao throws, hollow hits! Narrow the difference to 5 points.

"Tick-"

A shrill whistle blew, and Clippers head coach Doc Rivers called a timeout. His face was full of anger, but his chest was full of depression. The anger is because the Clippers players are not angry, they do not play their own characteristics, but make mistakes again and again, and are counterattacked by the Rockets; The frustration is because McHale, an old-fashioned man, has rarely been flexible in the past, so why has all of a sudden his style of play become so diverse?

Smith, the commentator on the sidelines, saw that the Rockets had chased the score close to 5 points, and he was also anxious, but he was just in a hurry, so he couldn't go on the court by himself. In desperation, he could only make fun of McHale to vent the depression in his heart: "McHale is wrong today, I wonder if McHale is hiding his soul under the surface." In the past, he was always the most old-fashioned and inflexible, but how did he suddenly learn to improvise today? Star singles, substitute sneak attacks, and air cuts are interspersed with air cuts, all of which have been used by him all over again, did he steal the tricks of the Zen master? ”

Lawler was also depressed when he saw that the difference between the 11 points had been reduced to 5 points in three minutes, and when he heard Smith say this, he immediately echoed: "I dare to say, this is definitely not McHale's idea, it must have been played by the No. 5 on his own initiative." I can't even take care of a substitute, McHale will get out of class early, hahahaha......"

Where did Lawler think that the nonsense he thought he was talking casually just to mock McHale turned out to be the original truth. The sudden change in the Rockets' style of play did come from Wen Hao's own ideas.

When Wen Hao walked off the court, all the players of the Rockets stood up to greet him.

Although Jeremy Lin felt a little sour in his heart, he still looked at Wen Hao sincerely and said in non-standard Mandarin: "Wen Hao, in these three minutes, you are the protagonist." ”

Howard, like a child, jumped up, clapped his hands and sang in an improvised rap: "A boy, he's from China, and he's been in the NBA for more than two years." Unknown but hard work, finally tonight, let the world feel his pulse. Yo, yo, Chris Paul, staring into his eye sockets, a pair of frightened eyes, as if to say - oh God, my angel brother......"

The Rockets laughed when they heard this, and they all extended their thumbs to praise Howard for his talent for rapping. Howard was praised by everyone like this, and he sang even more energetically.

Wen Hao was greeted to the chair by everyone like stars holding the moon.

But Da Yao next to him was keenly aware that among the Rocket players, there was one person who did not laugh, and he was not happy.

This person is the number one star of the Rockets, bearded Harden. He didn't feel good tonight, he was already depressed, and Wen Hao, a substitute player, dared to disobey the coach's arrangement and not pass the ball to him, which made him inevitably feel a little unhappy in his heart. Now that Wen Hao has completely stolen his limelight and made his boss lose face, he is naturally unhappy.

Of course, in addition to the beard, head coach McHale is not very happy. Although he had recognized Wen Hao's cleverness, Wen Hao kept cutting points and chased the score to 5 points, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief. But in any case, the head coach always likes obedient players and disobeys the coach's arrangement, which is enough to press Wen Hao on the cold bench.

But at this time, he can't do this, if Wen Hao is pressed on the bench when he is in the right state, it will inevitably cause many doubts. So, let's wait for the opportunity.

After the timeout, the main players of both sides came on the field.

On the Clippers side, Griffin and Jordan Jr. have already played, on the Rockets' side, Da Yao and Asik are off the court, and Howard and power forward Jones are also on the court. McHale explained to Wen Hao just now, now there is only five points left, it is a critical period to chase points, and it must be played according to tactics. The first choice is Howard, and the second choice is Harden. Wen Hao just nodded and didn't say anything.

After coming on the court, according to McHale's previous strategy, the Rockets once again defended the Clippers' offense. Looking back, Wen Hao dribbled across the half court, but instead of giving the ball to Howard or Harden, he motioned for Howard to come up and block it.

Howard is also a child, and he is happy, and he doesn't care that Wen Hao is just a substitute and is not qualified to order him, he mentions the three-point line to block and dismantle for Wen Hao.

Seeing this, Paul hurriedly took a step back, intending to prevent the rocket from being blocked.

But Wen Hao did all this just to hide people's eyes, he didn't use Howard's blocking at all, and suddenly a large change of direction in front of the body, past the unprepared Paul, once again into the interior, and scored a basket on the head of Jordan Jr.

"I hate this Chinese to death." Little Jordan yelled at Griffin.

"I hate it too," replied Griffin, "but what can be done?" This kid is as good as a ghost, and he can always hit unexpected balls, which makes people feel that they have nowhere to go. ”

"Don't make any noise, concentrate on the game." Paul said coldly.

The boss spoke, and the two didn't dare not listen, so they obediently ran to the front court to settle down.

Paul once again faced Wen Hao's defense, and he gritted his teeth and wanted to break through. But Wen Hao still let him take half a step and didn't give him a chance to break through. Paul looked at Wen Hao hatefully, and suddenly a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shot it outside the three-point line, and hit it steadily.

As soon as the goal was scored, the Staples Center, which had been silent for a long time, boiled again. Paul was finally resurrected, and as soon as Paul was resurrected, the entire Clipper would be alive.

However, what they didn't expect was that Paul's three-point shot was just a flash in the pan, and Paul didn't hit any of the next few attacks. On the Rockets' side, they relied on Wen Hao's breakthroughs, air cuts, and passes to score constantly, and at the end of the second quarter of the game, the score was overtaken in one fell swoop. 67-62, the Rockets took a five-point lead.

At this time, Wen Hao played 16 minutes and had already scored 23 points, 4 assists and 2 steals. That's a stat sheet that's pretty dazzling for a superstar, let alone a substitute.

The morale of the Clippers players was already many times lower than when the game started, and they walked to the tunnel with their heads downcast. Paul turned around and glanced at Wen Hao meaningfully. Wen Hao also looked at Paul at this time, and the provocation in his eyes was still the same.

At this time, Grubin, the Clippers' courtside reporter, stopped Wen Hao and said, "Can you accept my half-time interview?" ”

Wen Hao was a little surprised at first, the people who can be interviewed on the sidelines are usually those players who perform very well, but he didn't expect that he would also enjoy such treatment tonight. But soon he figured it out, not only did he not suffer any loss against Paul, but also firmly gained the upper hand, and today's sideline interview would be unreasonable if it weren't for him.

Thinking of this, Wen Hao smiled faintly and said, "Of course you can." ”
