By the time the Rockets extended their advantage to more than 10 points, the Pistons had already begun to slore. The Pistons head coach called a timeout. It was less than half a quarter before the opening of the game lost momentum, how can this work.

But this timeout from the Pistons head coach was a waste. After returning to the court, the offensive momentum of the Rockets has not diminished at all, although they have made a targeted arrangement for the Rockets, but the existence of Wen Hao in the Rockets is equivalent to having a coach on the court (of course, it is a tactical coach), and he can always find a way to deal with the opponent's targeted surname. So everyone saw that at the end of the first quarter, the Rockets were 39-20, leading the Pistons by as many as 19 points.

The Rockets built a nineteen-point advantage that lasted until the end of the third quarter. During this period, due to the excellent performances of Jeremy Lin and Da Yao, Wen Hao and Howard did not play much and sat on the sidelines to rest. Howard kept joking with his teammates around him, showing a mouthful of big white teeth, and the camera kept giving him, which suited his appetite, and even performed an ugly dance in front of the camera, which made more than 20,000 people at the scene lean forward and back together. For a time, the Toyota Center, the home of the Rockets, was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

However, there is an old Chinese saying that happiness begets sorrow. Perhaps it was too joyous on the spot, which made the Rockets' mentality a little relaxed, and in the second half of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter, they played carelessly and made mistakes, allowing the Pistons to seize the opportunity to continue to counterattack.

Those counterattacks sparked momentum for the Pistons, who followed with three points, hitting six three-pointers in five minutes to cut the deficit to eight points in one fell swoop, just over nine minutes before the end of the game.

The joyous atmosphere at the Rockets scene is finally starting to tense up, which is already a habit at the Toyota Center. Even if the lead is more points in front, in the final quarter, the Rockets will always play to make the fans very entangled.

McHale was busy replacing Wen Hao at this time.

Harden, who is the team's No. 1 attack point and scorer, is not there, and everyone else is not helpful, and now he can only rely on Wen Hao.

Wen Hao re-entered the battle, and the effect was immediate. Originally, the head coach of the Pistons knew that Wen Hao's best thing was passing, so after seeing Wen Hao on the court, he immediately adjusted his defensive strategy and let the Pistons players prevent Wen Hao from passing. But I didn't expect Wen Hao to hit two three-pointers in a row as soon as he came on the court, bringing the difference to ten points.

The head coach of the Pistons had no choice but to strengthen his defense against Wen Hao's offense. But in this way, Chinese Hao was in his arms, and he blocked Howard one after another, passed two assists, let Howard dunk, and also distributed the ball to other players, allowing them to shoot, helping the team play a wave of 12-4 **, and the difference returned to nearly 20 points again.

This time, the Pistons were no longer able to recover, and despite their head coach's timeouts, substitutions, and tactics, all the martial arts were used, they still couldn't stop the Rockets from taking off. In the end, the Rockets won the game by a score of 128-103. This is already the ninth game the Rockets have won in their last ten games.

Wen Hao didn't play much time in this game, only played 28 minutes, scored 21 points, 14 assists, and was another All-Star statistic. And the highlight was his three-point shot, which shot 5-of-6. As a player who had barely shot threes before, that shooting percentage was terrifying.

Some media commented that although the Rockets No. 5 barely shot three-pointers before, in these two games, his three-point shooting rate was as high as 71%, which is really terrifying. Of course, because three-pointers aren't his regular weapon, other teams don't guard him very much. But even so, the hit rate is very scary. If the Rockets want to hit the championship, and if Wen Hao wants to become a superstar or even Mr. Key, it is necessary for them to regard the three points as a conventional weapon for Wen Hao.

But this is just the beginning, in the next ten games in Harden's absence of Wen Hao, Wen Hao averaged 22.8 points, 12.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game, which surprised everyone.

Because although Wen Hao has also had a 40+ performance in a single game before, and there have also been wonderful moments such as a lore at a critical moment and a key moment to control the overall situation at a critical moment, but at that time he was just a substitute, and his playing time was always compressed again and again, so his performance was without a game, and it did not appear stable. But through the performance of these ten starters, Wen Hao let everyone see his strength, and he is far more qualified to be the first to control the position. The most surprising thing is that his physical fitness is only average, and it is really strange that he can play such an all-star statistic.

Talking about three-point shooting, in these 10 games, his three-point shooting percentage has decreased as other teams have strengthened their defense of his three-point shooting. But despite this, it is also a terrible 58.7%. The three-point shooting percentage is higher than the two-point shooting percentage of some interior shots, which is really chilling for other teams.

There are many industry insiders who believe that with Wen Hao, the chances of the Rockets winning the championship will be at least 10% greater.

However, when everyone was unanimously impressed by Wen Hao's data, an article revealed the hidden worries of Wen Hao and even Team Rocket.

This article was written by Harper, a journalist who has been following Wen Hao for a long time, and he wrote on his blog: Wen Hao's strength is not to worry, we have all seen it, and he definitely has the qualifications to be a starting point guard. However, there is one thing that worries - the bearded Harden.

As we all know, Harden came to the Rockets to be a leader, and his status as the first brother of the Rockets can hardly be shaken. But in the past month, Wen Hao's performance has been quite good, especially helping the Rockets through difficulties several times, the last moment of the stunner, the key assist at the last moment, and the ability to control the overall situation, all of which have faintly emerged momentum.

Especially in the more than ten games that Harden has been absent, Wen Hao has played an unprecedented performance, which has raised his status in the hearts of the Rockets and fans.

Although Wen Hao is far from being able to usurp power, and he may not have such thoughts, Harden's mind is not necessarily as broad as we imagined. From the previous games, we may be able to get some clues.

At this point in the article, a video is inserted, which is edited: Harden's eyes and Harden's expression are close-up whenever Wen Hao hits a key shot; Especially when Wen Hao hit that stunner, the Rockets players, Rockets fans, and the entire Toyota Center were celebrating, but Harden didn't mean to celebrate, but turned around and walked quickly into the player tunnel.

The article continues: Can't we see anything from these looks and expressions of Harden? Now I just hope it's my speculation.

Unlike before, after this article was released, although it could not be recognized by experts, many fans saw some clues. Harden's fans naturally have their hearts set on Harden, which means that Harden is the first brother of the Rockets, and there is no need to be jealous with a kid from China; And even if Harden wants to squeeze out Wen Hao, it is normal, because one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and a team cannot have two leaders.

And Wen Hao's fans think that Wen Hao's performance is getting better and better, and his status in the team should be improved accordingly, even if Wen Hao wants to usurp power, it is normal.

The fans of the two started a big discussion on the Internet, but because the subjective consciousness was too strong, the discussion came and went without a reason.

And at Harden's home, the bearded man was already clenching his fists as he watched the comments on the Internet. He is the first brother of the rocket, and no one wants to shake his position.

In another game, Harden held back his strength to give Wen Hao some color and see: if he doesn't score forty points in this game, he won't be surnamed Ha!

But people are not as good as heaven, and before the start of this game, McHale suddenly said that he wanted Harden to start with Wen Hao. What he means is that Wen Hao's ability to control the situation, coupled with Harden's offensive firepower, is definitely one of the best backcourt combinations in the league. So from this game onwards, he was going to experiment with the duo.

But as it turned out, McHale's idea was completely wrong. In this game, Harden held back his strength to score forty points, and did not cooperate with Wen Hao at all, let alone think about passing. In the end, he scored 43 points, but only had one assist. The Rockets also lost by a big margin to a team like the Bucks.

Because Wen Hao couldn't get the ball, although he played 32 minutes in this game, he only got a pitiful 7 points and 4 assists, and basically did not achieve anything else.

After the game, the Houston media expressed their dissatisfaction with Harden's not sharing the ball, hoping that Harden could learn from this game, if you can't win, then it's pointless for you to play 40+ games.

The media outside of Houston were not so polite, saying: Harden's surname is selfish, and judging from this game, his real surname is undoubtedly revealed. As long as he can brush up on good data, it doesn't matter if he wins or not.

Rockets head coach McHale also has a headache, he knows that Wen Hao and Harden can definitely burst into great power, but Harden just doesn't pass the ball to Wen Hao. McHale also understood that Harden was unhappy when he saw Wen Hao's excellent performance, and felt that Harden scored more than 40 points in this game, and his anger was out, the ball was lost, and the lesson was learned, and it should not be like this in the next game.

So in the next game, McHale still sent this combination, but Harden still did the same. This time he was even more perverted, scoring 48 points but only 0 assists. And the team also lost to the opponent by as many as 23 points.

Seeing this, McHale no longer dared to test the combination of Harden and Wen Hao. If he tries a few more games, with the fierceness of this year's battle in the West, the Rockets must fall out of the top eight, and he can't take this risk.

However, McHale felt the need to have a conversation with Harden and Moon Hao, and if the hearts of the two could be brought together, the Rockets would definitely be much stronger.
