Paul's role for the Clippers is well known. He's the helmsman of the Clippers, and with him, the Clippers have a way forward. And now, he has put his role as a helmsman on the field to the fullest. When he got on the court, the Clippers' already somewhat disordered offense suddenly stabilized and was sorted out by him. Their fast offense is so fast that a fast-paced team like the Rockets can't keep up with their rhythm; They were solid when they were on the pitch, relying on Paul to constantly weave through the crowd to create chances for their teammates. In a matter of moments, Paul had three assists and five points.

Although Jeremy Lin is also an excellent point guard, it is a little difficult to deal with a super point guard like Paul, not only being passed by Paul again and again, but also being stolen by Paul and making a mistake himself.

By the fourth minute of the second quarter, the Rockets were once again seven points behind the Clippers.

The Staples Center was jubilant, and actor Nicholson even stood up to applaud Paul. Even Rivers, the always strict coach, shouted from the sidelines: "Chris, you're the hero of the Clippers!" ”

McHale had no choice but to ask for a timeout. When he paused, his eyes were the first to look at Wen Hao: "Wen, you go up." Wen Hao's excellent performance in the first quarter made McHale think of him without hesitation.

Wen Hao had been eagerly waiting for McHale's call, and he slammed up from the bench, tucked his jersey into his pants, and looked at Paul on the other side. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Wen Hao played, Jeremy Lin naturally ended, although he was a little unwilling, but he really couldn't do anything against Paul. All he can do is redouble his efforts in training to one day compete with a super point guard like Paul.

McHale didn't arrange other tactics at this time, the Clippers relied too much on Paul, and if they wanted to strangle Paul to death on the Clippers, the Clippers would basically be half dead, which everyone knows. But the problem is that a lot of times you know this, but you can't cover Paul.

McHale, who was well aware of this, said to the Rockets: "We have only one goal, to strangle Paul. He can take the ball and shoot it from the outside, but he must not let him burst. As soon as he was ready to burst, we immediately doubled it and forced him to pass the ball. As long as he passes the ball out, the success rate of the Clippers' offense is immediately halved. That's all you have to do. Wen, you try to keep Paul away from him as much as possible, and don't let him break through. I'll let someone else come over at any time. You're still going to focus on offense, and now Howard needs to rest, Harden is the first point, Parsons is the second point, and after half the court, you give them the ball, and when they get caught in the bag, it's up to you to play, you know? ”

Wen Hao didn't speak, just lowered his head, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, then raised his head and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Seeing this, Da Yao next to him hurriedly signaled Wen Hao with his eyes not to say more, and Wen Hao nodded.

Moments later, the game resumed. Wen Hao dribbled past half court, and in the face of Paul's defense, his whole person was so excited that he was about to tremble. He has always dreamed of playing against super point guard Paul, but he didn't expect it to come true so soon, how can he not be excited. And as long as he defeats Paul today, his popularity in the United States will be greatly improved. Increasing your popularity by beating the best players is definitely a shortcut to success.

However, what made him depressed was that, according to the coach's arrangement, the first choice after the ball passed half court was to pass to Harden. If he doesn't play like this, he will likely be replaced by McHale immediately. That's the sadness of role players – to have absolute execution and absolute obedience to the coach's arrangement.

Thinking of this, Wen Hao's nerves that had just been excited languished again, and he threw the ball to Harden weakly.

"Cut, didn't you say you were going to challenge Paul? When I saw Paul, I was scared, a guy who didn't plant. A fan shouted at this.

"He and Paul are still too far apart, and when they see Paul, they tremble, how dare they challenge Paul?" Another fan shouted.

Lawler, the commentator on the sidelines, also laughed: "Could it be that he only talks big?" ”

When Wen Hao heard these ridicules, although he was angry, he had no choice but to accept such a reality. After all, he is still only a substitute player, and it is impossible to challenge the authority of the coach with his own strength.

McHale saw Wen Hao hand over the ball to Harden and nodded secretly, obedient players are the players that the coach likes.

But when McHale looked up again, his face was not very good. I saw that Harden was about to burst to the left side with the ball, and Crawford, who was defending him, immediately blocked on the left side, no matter how he changed direction, he was still blocked there. He knew that Harden was a left-handed player, so he only defended the left side and kept his right hand for him.

Harden couldn't break through on the left side, and as soon as he took a step forward with his right hand, the Clippers' interior defense came over. His right hand was not too smooth, and he was so defended that he couldn't break through again, so he could only take a step back and make a jump shot. But today his hand was not too good, the ball bounced out of the basket, just in time Paul grabbed the rebound, launched a fast attack, the Rockets retreated in time, and the difference was stretched away to score 9 points.

Looking back, Wen Hao dribbled across the half court and handed the ball to Harden again, and Harden failed again and was covered by the Clippers' solid inside line. Parsons, who was on the outside, picked up the rebound in the frontcourt, changed direction and broke through, but was dropped from behind by the Clippers Paul, and the Clippers launched a fast break again, and Paul assisted Crawford to widen the gap to 11 points.

Wen Hao glanced at McHale and saw that McHale had no intention of taking a timeout, so he had to dribble the ball to the frontcourt.

Lawler, the commentator on the sidelines, saw that the score difference had reached 11 points, and his mood relaxed, so he made a joke about McHale: "The Rockets head coach's on-the-spot adaptability is not much better than the action ability of a 90-year-old man." I dare to say, just pull a housewife to be a coach, and you know it's time to pause. Rocket Harden can't open, he doesn't know how to change the tactical play, he only knows to blindly continue to play Harden, if Harden can't open all night, won't the Rocket die in the hands of Harden? ”

"No kidding, let's be honest, McHale's achievements in his playing career and his fighting spirit are worthy of our respect, but as a head coach, his on-the-spot adaptability is really not as good as most coaches, plus he doesn't trust the bench players enough, basically only seven or eight people rotate every game, so he can't be considered a very good coach." Another commentator, Smith, said, "Now that the Rockets have the ball, he's still going to give it to Harden, and the whole world knows that, so the Clippers players just need to defend Harden." Alas, the sad rocket, the sad McHale, the sad No. 5 Wen Hao. ”

Wen Hao had already come to the front court at this time, he glanced at Harden, and was about to pass the ball over according to the coach's arrangement, but after hearing the commentary, his heart jerked, and the light in his eyes flashed again - does it have to be passed?
