82 leads by 23 points
The No. 11 triple hat shocked the Energy Plan Arena, the Jazz fans were so shocked that they couldn't speak, the Jazz players were so shocked that they forgot to serve, and the Jazz head coach was so shocked that they forgot to call out to the players. Everyone watched as No. 11 walked back to his defensive position indifferently after covering three big hats and instigating a fast attack.
After a long time, a commentator finally spoke: "When No. 11 was in the Rockets, the Rockets were blocked in the first round by the Jazz in the two playoffs, and it can be said that they have a vendetta with the Jazz. When he arrived at the Jazz home court today, he was constantly booed by Jazz fans, coupled with the two Jazz insiders who had just wrapped him up, which made No. 11 hold his stomach. If you hold your breath for a long time, you will either have internal injuries or erupt. Obviously, No. 11 chose the latter. No. 11, who has never played very strongly, showed his domineering to the fullest in these three blocks. It seems that the former No. 1 center in the league is not easy to mess with. ”
"Yes, although he left the NBA for three years and is now questioned when he returns to the NBA, as a skilled center, he doesn't just rely on strength, he relies on his brain and skill, and with these two points, he has already fully adapted to the rhythm of the NBA. When he got used to it, his dominance on the pitch was on display, and it looked like he was going straight to the first centre. Another commentary should be reconciled.
"If that's what you say, then rockets are terrifying. Think about it, they already have Howard, the first center, and Asik, who is ranked in the top ten, and now there is a No. 11 competing for the first center, and the three centers are gathered in one team, not to mention anything else, just three centers go to the inside, and the opponent can't break in. This defense is terrifying. ”
"So I say the Rockets are likely to be a good contender for this year's championship. Don't look at the fact that their twin towers have not played any strength now, but when it comes to the real playoffs, no coach dares to underestimate the power of these twin towers. I'm even wondering if McHale will use the 'Three Towers'. ”
"'Three Towers'?! That's a big joke, isn't it? No team has ever used three towers, so it can't be played. ”
"Just because there wasn't in the past doesn't mean there won't be in the future, so let's see."
……
Amid the chatter of the two commentators, the situation on the field has taken a turn for the worse. No. 11's three blocks completely stimulated the momentum of the rocket, Wen Hao broke through several times in a row, making the Jazz tired to cope, No. 11's shooting, Asik's empty connection with Wen Hao, and Garcia's three points made the Jazz unable to parry. On the offensive end, the Rockets Twin Towers did not dare to rush in, especially when facing the No. 11, their guard players had a feeling of being on the back of a mountain - too high!
So the Jazz could only shoot outside, but this could not guarantee the shooting percentage at all, and by the sixth minute of the second quarter, the Jazz had trailed the Rockets by as many as 15 points. The head coach of the Jazz team had to call a timeout and replace the main players.
On the Rockets' side, McHale also replaced Wen Hao and other substitutes to let the main players play. Seeing Wen Hao, who was sweating profusely, end the game, McHale patted him on the back and said, "You have worked hard, sit down and rest." ”
Wen Hao is indeed tired, in the past, he could only play for five or six minutes at most in the second quarter, but so far today, he has been playing for more than ten minutes, which is a little uncomfortable for him. He sat on the bench, panting and his chest heaving. But he didn't feel tired in his heart, he played ten minutes, scored five assists and 12 points, which is almost the level of a top point guard, completely comparable to Paul, which is enough to make him proud.
Wen Hao sat on the bench and watched the game on the field. At this time, Jeremy Lin and a group of main players of the Rockets were on the court and played smoothly. Jeremy Lin has made great strides in shooting and breakouts since training last summer, and he is also playing well on the court. His only danger now is that he doesn't have the trust of head coach McHale, and he will be pressed to the bench at every crucial moment, and he will only be allowed to play during this regular time. But as soon as he is on the court, Jeremy Lin will perform and will definitely please the fans and coaches.
Harden's breakthrough is becoming more and more mature, and now he is basically in a state of insolvence, and there is almost no one to guard against him one-on-one. His only flaw is his defense, and his old problem of weak defense and eye defense has not been able to be corrected in two seasons. Oh, there is also a place that I don't know if it is a disadvantage - he loves to go to nightclubs, so the people in Shangjianghu call him "nightclub Deng".
As for the spark, it goes without saying that among the center, his movement speed and bounce are definitely the best. But his shortcomings are also obvious - too close to the range, too bad free throws. It is nicknamed "Free Throws".
However, under the leadership of these two team bosses and second leaders, the Rockets' record this season is very good, and the so-called big things are not informal, and few people care about these.
At this time, on the court, under the leadership of the two of them, with the momentum that Wen Hao and No. 11 had just brought up, the rocket was full of momentum and stretched the score to 23 points at the end of the first half.
The Rockets were all relaxed at this time, and at the end of the first half, they talked and laughed and walked towards the players' tunnel. Even head coach McHale looked relaxed, in the previous games, the Rockets always fell behind by a large score, and only then did they chase back by a point. Although he won in the end, the process of chasing points felt too difficult. Today, the Rockets led by 23 points at halftime, and it was finally time to breathe a sigh of relief.
But unbeknownst to the Rockets players, and neither did the Rockets coach, a lurking crisis awaited them in the Jazz locker room.
One by one, the Jazz players walked to the locker room with gloomy faces. When I met the reporters who came to interview in the players' tunnel, no one paid attention to them. If you lose by 23 points at half-time, you're still in the mood for an interview, unless the player has a brain problem.
The Jazz players returned to the locker room and sat there silently, not saying a word. The Jazz head coach is also anxious, he knows that the priority is to boost morale, but in the face of such a huge gap as 23 points behind, no language is weak. He opened his mouth several times, but finally it turned into a sigh. This sigh seemed to turn into a prelude to failure, and the atmosphere in the jazz locker room became even heavier.
At this moment, when everyone was silent, suddenly, Lucas III, who had not spoken in the corner, suddenly stood up angrily and roared angrily: "I can bear to lose, but I can't bear to lose to the Chinese!" To tell you the truth, I was kicked by that Chinese guy just now, but so what? As long as I can play, I will definitely fight and attack that Chinese guy again and again. Because, I definitely can't stand to lose to him! With the last sentence, he punched the locker room door, and the blood, crawling down the fist like an earthworm.
Seeing the bruised tendons on Lucas III's forehead and the blood swindling on his arms, the Jazz players' eyes became fierce one by one, and the blood in their hearts was completely ignited by Lucas III......
