In the conjecture of the two commentators, the game between the two sides has begun. And the fans are full of anticipation. Although the Rockets are strong this year, the Celtics' style of play and system are just the right to restrain the Rockets. The Rockets are strong on the inside, but they are dominated by Harden on the outside. Harden needs to have the ball in his hands, so the point guard assigned to him must give up possession. This inevitably makes the Rockets' backcourt combination less formidable. The strength of the Celtics' backcourt combination is very strong, and the Rockets will inevitably suffer in comparison.

As soon as the game opened, the Rockets jumped to the ball and they began to attack inside. But today, Howard's hand was not very smooth, and he tried to hook one left and right, but he couldn't hit. And the Celtics relied on their backcourt combination to play two fast breaks in a row.

For the next six minutes, as fans expected, the Celtics completely overpowered the Rockets' Harden vs. Jeremy Lin or Harden vs. Beverley with their backcourt combination. Coupled with the Rockets' poor hand of the Monster, the Celtics actually played 17-5 in five minutes. The fans at the scene were boiling.

In the live broadcast room, Ke Fan said to Yang Yi next to him: "This is the rhythm of the flowers." ”

"It's only been five minutes, and the rocket won't really take it." Yang Yi said with a wry smile.

"Netizens have given you a nickname, Yang Huahua, as long as there is a game you explain, it will inevitably be spent, it seems that this is the case."

Yang Yi smiled bitterly twice: "I don't want to spend it either, I also want this game to look good, but how can the Rocket Team not be angry, and it will be like this as soon as it comes up, which is called a miserable." Netizens, this is really not for me to say flowers, I am wronged. ”

The on-site commentary of the North Shore Garden is relaxed when I see this. "Keep it like this until the end of the second quarter and we'll have a good chance of winning," Haythorne said. Then we're one step closer to the playoffs. ”

"Our backcourt combination completely suppressed their backcourt combination, and it was difficult for us not to win." Gorman said with a smile.

Celtics head coach Brad? Stevens breathed a sigh of relief. Celtic have a poor record this season, and his position is a little shaky, and they desperately need a win to solidify. Now playing a strong team like the Rockets can open 17-5, which makes his heart relax a lot. It seems that their style of play is really just enough to restrain the Rockets.

At this time, in Houston, Alexander and Morey were watching the game live in his own home. The two of them looked at each other with a bit of tacit understanding at this point, and Morey said, "It's time to play, right?" ”

"Hmm." Alexander said only that and continued to watch the game.

At the North Shore Garden Arena, when the morale of the Rockets was a little low, McHale was less anxious than before, seemed very calm, looked at Wen Hao, and said, "Wen, are you ready?" ”

Wen Hao's heart was shocked, and he was a little excited. Since the recent game, he has hardly played in the first quarter, playing a short game, and is completely a substitute posture. I didn't expect to get a chance to play so early today.

He stood up, nodded to McHale, and said, "It's been ready for a long time." ”

When the commentator Gorman saw Wen Hao and Harden playing together, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Is McHale confused?" ”

Haythorne shook his head: "Maybe, he really wants to win our Rondo and Babu with such a lineup?" Are you kidding? ”

In the live broadcast room, Ke Fan also said in surprise: "McHale isn't going to give up, is he?" Everyone knows that Harden and Wen Hao are at odds, and in the face of a strong combination like Rondo and Babu, he actually sent Wen Hao and Harden, isn't this looking for death? Mr. Yang, what do you think? ”

"Uh......" Yang Yi looked at it for a moment, but only made a "uh" sound.

"How?"

"I don't understand what the hell McHale is going to do."

While speaking, Wen Hao and Harden were already on the court. The Rockets attacked, and the ball came to Wen Hao after three turns and two turns, and Wen Hao lowered his head and killed the Celtics' inside. He knows that the Celtics' inside line is a weakness.

Sure enough, he easily played a two-and-one, and on the second offense, he hit the inside again and scored a layup.

Seeing this, Celtics head coach Stevens was busy shouting from the sidelines, telling the interior to pay attention to the help defense.

On the third ball, Wen Hao still rushed in, but when he was halfway through, he suddenly threw the ball behind his head, and after Harden received the ball on the outside, he did not hesitate to shoot. Three points should be called into the net.

On the fourth offense, Wen Hao once again killed inside, this time the Celtics paid attention to the help defense of the inside, and at the same time paid attention to the three points of Harden on the outside to ensure that nothing went wrong.

But at this moment, Wen Hao suddenly sent the ball out of the back of his head again. At the same time, Harden, who followed up, roared angrily, received the ball and rushed to the basket. Celtics center Joel? Anthony only cared about defending against Wen Hao, and he didn't guard against Harden from the side, jumped high, and a slam dunk fell from the sky, Joel? It was too late, and Harden rode directly on the shoulder and smashed the ball into the basket.

The entire North Shore Gardens was in shock.

The defender slams the center, and it's definitely a classic picture. With Harden's height and bounce, it's rare to get a chance to dunk a center. But today, with the cooperation of Wen Hao, he actually rode the Celtic center, which is really shocking.

In the live broadcast room, Ke Fan and Yang Yi shouted in unison: "Oh...... Strike! ”

"It's so handsome," Ke Fan said, "Harden fell from the sky like a divine soldier, and rode Joel after receiving Wen Hao's pass?" Anthony, a classic picture, definitely a classic picture. ”

"Unexpected, really unexpected. Have you noticed, in addition to the brutality of Harden falling from the sky and wreaking havoc on the basket, what is more important is that there is finally a spark between Harden and Wen Hao. Yang Yi keenly discovered this.

"Really, in the past ten games, there has been almost no passing between these two people, but after playing today, they played a cooperation, just now Wen Hao assisted Harden to score three points, and this goal assisted Harden to dunk violently, and they really cooperated."

"It seems that the Rockets management has finally dealt with the matter between them, and everyone's long-standing worries can finally be put aside a little. But what puzzles me is what method the Rockets' top brass used to make a surname like Harden accept. ”

At Alexander's house in Houston, Alexander and Morey, who saw this scene, were shocked at first, then looked at each other for a moment, and finally laughed. Wen Hao and Harden can cooperate to produce huge power, which they thought of in advance, but they didn't expect the two to form a tacit understanding so quickly. And even Harden, who has never been good at off-ball offense, has begun to run to follow up, which is too unthinkable.

After Harden landed, he was also a little shocked after another roar. He never thought of playing in this way before, in the past, he took the ball and others cut or follow up, today he followed up, I didn't expect to play the ball in this way so effortless, the effect is so good, it seems that he will play in this way more in the future.

McHale, who was on the sidelines, saw Harden and Wen Hao playing such a cooperation, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

At this time, Celtics coach Stevens saw the two of them playing together, and immediately shouted to the players on the sidelines: "Cut off the connection between their No. 1 and No. 2 positions." They hadn't cooperated much in the No. 1 and No. 2 positions before, and they happened to play such a combination today, so don't be intimidated and put pressure on the two of them separately to force them to make mistakes. ”

In the eyes of the Celtics coach, the two of the Rockets have not worked together much before, and there is only one possibility that they can play such a wonderful combination: by chance. Only by chance can such an attack be played.

Rondo and Babu heard the coach's words and immediately strengthened their defense against Harden and Wen Hao. Babu is playing against Harden, who defends Harden's left hand, limits Harden's breakaway, and only allows him to shoot from the outside. And Rondo played against Wen Hao, and he used his excellent physical fitness to defend Wen Hao in all directions, neither letting Wen Hao break through nor letting Wen Hao shoot.

In the face of Rondo's defense, Wen Hao did not rush to make a move, he dribbled the ball and cruised outside the three-point line. This was the Rockets' last offense, and he wasn't in a hurry to shoot.

When he saw the opponent shift the center of gravity of the defense to his side, he threw the ball to Harden. At this point, there were more than ten seconds left.

Generally, the Rockets' final shot is always left to Harden to handle. The little tacit understanding that Harden has just established with Wen Hao, Wen Hao doesn't want to destroy it.

At this time, Harden dribbled to the last six seconds, and was already ready to break through. But Rondo is also very smart, he knew that Harden intended to break through, so he immediately gave up his defense against Wen Hao and went to trap Harden instead. He knew that with Harden's last name, it was impossible for this last shot to get out.

"Oh no, I'm covered." In the live broadcast room, Ke Fan shouted.

But at this moment, when Harden was caught and couldn't break through and could only barely shoot, Wen Hao suddenly ran towards Harden. When passing behind Harden, he called "ball" to Harden, Harden had already jumped up, suddenly heard Wen Hao's shout, and immediately leaned the ball back, and passed it to Wen Hao. After Wen Hao received the ball, he dribbled two steps to the left, and without defense, he made a brazen three-point shot, the lights were on and the whistle sounded, and the basketball went into the net.

21-23, with this goal, the Rockets are only two points behind the Celtics.

As soon as this goal was scored, the entire Celtic home stadium was a little blind. Not only their players, but also their fans, and even the Rockets players are a little blindsided. Didn't you say that Wen Hao and Harden were at odds? Lie to people. With such a tacit cooperation between these two people, how can they be discordant?

McHale was also amazed in his heart: what method did Morey use, and there was a tacit understanding between the two. (To be continued.) )
