Grubin looked up at Wen Hao and said, "First of all, congratulations on scoring 23 points in the first half......"

"Thank you." Wen Hao said in front of the camera.

"Can you tell me why you had such a good performance tonight?" Grubin asked.

"The reason is very simple," Wen Hao paused, and then said, "Whoever is my opponent, it is Paul." It's exciting to think about being in the same position as Paul. So, beating him is what motivates me. ”

Grubin nodded: "I see, so do you think you have a chance to beat Chris?" ”

'I don't know if I could have done it in the second half, but at least I beat him in the first half. Wen Hao faced the camera and said proudly.

"Wow-"

As soon as Wen Hao's words came out, the entire Staples Center was in an uproar. The fans looked at the picture on the big screen and shouted one by one: "He thinks he defeated Paul? Joke! ”

"First half win over Chris? What is this. You know, Chris often exerts his strength at the most critical moment in the second half, and the reason why he doesn't exert his strength now is only because the opponent is not strong enough. I can't even see this, he's also a baller? ”

"Chris will definitely give him color in the second half, and then he will know what a real point guard is."

In the Clippers locker room, Rivers looked extremely pale, and roared at the players in his slightly hoarse voice: "Bench, bench, you were defeated by a bench, are you still the Clippers players I know?" I can't imagine how you can answer the question of being beaten by a substitute when the game is over. Because there's no reason for you to be defeated by a sub at all! ”

"Coach, we're just not familiar with that No. 5 style of play...... Jordan Jr. said.

But before he could finish his words, Rivers' roar immediately drowned him out: "Shut up! To lose is to lose, and there is no reason to speak of it. Not familiar with the No. 5 style of play? Didn't you watch the video before the game? Didn't read the material? ”

Little Jordan had nothing to say. He did see the footage of the Rockets' games, and he saw the material. But who's going to pay special attention to a substitute, even if he's played well in the last few games, but it's not the focus of attention, he's not there yet.

"I don't want to be a joke, and I don't want to see you become a joke. But if we are beaten by a substitute, we will inevitably become a joke. No, I don't say yes! The fans don't agree! Listen to your inner voice, will you answer? ”

Rivers' roar grew louder and louder, and could be heard clearly even outside the locker room door. The security guard at the door shook his head helplessly: "It seems that the boss is going crazy again." ”

Just as Rivers roared, Paul, who had been leaning against the closet door, smiled slightly and said, "Boss, don't be angry, leave it to me in the second half." ”

……

In the Rockets locker room, there was jubilation at this time, and Wen Hao's performance in the second quarter made the Rockets go from 11 points behind by 5 points in one fell swoop, which made the Rockets feel good.

McHale frowned slightly, and said to the Rockets: "We did a good job in the first half, but we can't be careless, the Clippers are not an easy team to deal with, and they will definitely form a counterattack in the second half." Especially the offense, led by Paul. So our first goal is to strangle Paul, as long as Paul is strangled, the Clippers' counterattack will be half extinguished. Wen Hao, you and Paul are in the opposite position, and the task is very heavy. ”

Wen Hao nodded and said confidently: "Don't worry, coach, I will definitely guard against Paul." ”

After the first half, his self-confidence has been greatly improved, and at least against Paul, he can be as calm as he is against other players.

At this time, Da Yao came over and said to Wen Hao in Mandarin: "Wen Hao, you can't take it lightly, Paul is definitely one of the most difficult guys in this alliance." ”

When Jeremy Lin heard Da Yao's words, he nodded sympathetically: "I have fought him a total of 9 times in the past two years, and none of them have been able to take advantage. Believe me, Chris is definitely more than that, you have to watch out for it in the second half. ”

"Got it." Wen Hao said proudly, "No matter how fierce his counterattack flame is, I will definitely extinguish him." ”

……

Meanwhile, in a rented house in Houston, Mr. Wen's agent, Yu Song, was watching live television.

He was quite excited at this time. Wen Hao scored 23 points in the half, which is definitely the level of a superstar. That's 23 points cut on Paul's head, and the gold content is not ordinarily high. If Wen Hao can defeat Paul in one fell swoop, then his popularity will definitely be greatly improved, which will be of great benefit to the Nike game he participated in more than 20 days later. If he can really sign a contract with Nike, then Wen Hao will make a lot of money. Wen Hao has to earn, and of course he has to earn.

In another rental room, Harper, an intern, looked at the TV screen and frowned slightly. He always felt that something was wrong, but as for what was wrong, he couldn't say.

"It seems that something is wrong with Paul, and it seems that something is wrong with Wen Hao, in short, it is weird." Harper muttered, continuing to look at the TV screen, thinking to himself.

To be honest, he was also extremely happy that Wen Hao scored 23 points in the first half, which is enough to prove that his predictions about Wen Hao in those articles are correct, and he will definitely become a superstar.

But he didn't agree with Wen Hao's style of play today. Wen Hao scored more points today, but had fewer assists, only 5 times in the first half.

Five assists in the half may be enough for other point guards, but for Wen Hao, it is a little less. You know, in the first few games, when he played more than 20 minutes, he was able to get 145 or 5 assists.

There were plenty of opportunities to pass the ball today, but he chose to break through on his own, playing with a one-on-two or even one-on-three, which is really an unwise choice for a point guard.

"Wen Hao today, what's wrong?" Harper shook his head and watched the interview with Wen Hao on the TV screen, "Is it ...... Is it an inflated self-confidence? ”

Thinking of this, Wen Hao's heart was like being poured down by a bucket of cold water.

For many newcomers, the most important thing is not a lack of self-confidence, but an inflated self-confidence, or blind confidence and arrogance. This blinds the players and prevents them from discerning the truth of the facts and accurately estimating the strength of both sides, leading to defeat. And once he fails, his inflated self-confidence will be frustrated, and he will even leave basketball again.

Thinking of this, Harper's head buzzed......
