"I heard Morey say that someone can't defend, let me train and train, is that you?" The man asked casually.

"......" Wen Hao was so surprised when he saw that person that he couldn't speak.

The man saw that Wen Hao was still in a push-up position. Wen Hao was the only one training in the empty training hall, and he nodded, still in a very casual tone: "But let me tell you, your physical fitness is like this, if you want to strengthen your defense in a day or two, this is simply a fantasy." ”

When Wen Hao first saw that person, he was excited and surprised, and when he heard him say that he wanted to help him strengthen his defense, his heart was even more excited. At this time, when I heard the man say that he couldn't strengthen his defense, his heart sank.

However, after going through so many things, he did not show his disappointment on the surface, but said: "Senior, what should I do?" ”

"Defense," said the man, "I can teach you to attack, to suppress their offense with stronger offenses." Compensate for your defense with offense. ”

“……”

Wen Hao still couldn't speak. He had thought about it, but he didn't think his current offense was enough to suppress the attacks of the other teams. Not to mention anything else, he can't suppress the attack of the Thunder Second Shao alone, let alone others. So he didn't think about it seriously. At this time, as soon as his predecessor said this, the flame of attack was ignited in his heart again.

……

At the Owl Restaurant in Houston at this time, although it was working hours, Elena seemed a little absent-minded. Every now and then, she wants to check her phone. This morning, she sent five text messages to Wen Hao in a row, congratulating the Rockets on their victory over the Thunder last night, but Wen Hao did not reply to any of them. This made Elena a a little anxious.

Usually, although Wen Hao doesn't reply to her text messages much, at least she sends five Wen Hao will reply one or two, but now it's past eleven o'clock, and Wen Hao hasn't replied to any of them. How could this not disappoint her.

wants to continue to post, but I am afraid that it will arouse Wen Hao's disgust. If you want to call, after experiencing Wen Hao's rejection, she really doesn't know what to say to Wen Hao.

And in a luxury villa in Houston, Annie was also editing text messages: Wen Hao, congratulations to the Rockets for winning the Western Conference championship, congratulations on your 28 points and 15 assists last night, I will always support you. Annie.

After sending the text message, Anne was terrified. Although she has always been a brutal princess, she can't help but be a little nervous when she contacts the person she likes for the first time.

After sending the text message, she kept holding her phone with her ears straight, waiting for the text message to sound. But a minute, two minutes, five minutes later, I didn't get a text message. Five minutes was longer than five months for Anne.

Five minutes later, she wanted to send another text message, but like Elena, she was afraid that Wen Hao would be disgusted. So I pressed my surname and waited another five minutes.

For five minutes, she turned on the TV, trying to relieve her tension. But the TV keeps changing channels, and it doesn't stay on each channel for more than three seconds.

Finally, another five minutes later, Anne was a little angry in her disappointment. Her savage princess's temper was about to flare up. She stopped texting and just pulled out the phone. She wants to say something to Wen Hao on the phone. Who does he think he is? Miss Ben has been chased by a large number of men behind her since she was a child, and Miss Ben doesn't even pay attention to them. Now I press my surname and take the initiative to text him, and he doesn't even reply to a single one, which is simply unbearable.

But when she dialed the number, the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared for no reason, and was replaced by another apprehension. She didn't know what to say when the phone was answered.

Just as she was hesitating to hang up the phone, a voice came from the other side of the phone, "The phone you dialed has been turned off".

At this moment, Anne's strength seemed to be drained and she sat down on the couch. There was a sense of relief in my heart, but at the same time, I was slightly disappointed. If she really connected just now, she really didn't know what to say to Wen Hao.

Although many girls in the United States are very open-minded, girls like Annie, who have always been chased and never chased, really don't know how to socialize with boys.

……

In fact, Anne and Elena didn't know that Wen Hao turned off his mobile phone after getting up this morning. There are only three days left until the start of the playoffs, and during those three days, he has to work hard to improve his defense, so he won't let other trivial matters bother him.

When Annie and Elena were disappointed, and when Wen Hao followed the senior to practice offense, the playoff table was already out. Rockets belong to the west, let's just talk about the west. At the end of the Western Conference regular season, the standings are as follows:

1. Rockets

2. Thunder

3. Spurs

4. Lakers

5. Clippers

6. Grizzly bears

7. Warriors

8. The sun

Based on the top eight records in the West, the first round matchups are as follows:

Rocket - Sun

Thunder - Warriors

Spurs - Grizzlies

Lakers - Clippers

When the bracket came out, the so-called pundits began to predict how far each team could go in the playoffs this year, and already won the championship.

In their opinion, the biggest favorites to win the championship this year are undoubtedly the Thunder in the West and the Heat in the East. The Thunder are both healthy, they are both young, but they have a lot of playoff experience, as well as Finals experience.

In their predictions, although the Rockets are ranked first in the West, they are a little worse than the Thunder and Heat. And the biggest weakness of the Rockets is the No. 1 position. Although they have Beverley, Jeremy Lin, and Wen Hao in their No. 1 position. But Beverley defends well, but the offense is poor, especially in terms of organization, which can only belong to the middle level.

Jeremy Lin's offense is okay, but it's not top-notch, and his defense is only mid-stream.

Although Wen Hao's offense is already on the threshold of stepping into the top class, his defense is also at a medium level.

Therefore, in any expert's prediction, the Rockets' No. 1 position will be completely destroyed by the opponent. The first and second rounds can be compensated for by the strength of other positions, but when it comes to the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, there is no way.

So they can make it to the Western Conference Finals, but they don't make it to the Finals.

As soon as those experts said this, it immediately caused the anger of Rocket fans. They are constantly yelling at the experts on the Internet and even making personal attacks. In Chinese mainland, the so-called predictions of those experts are even more scoffed. In their opinion, the Rockets have what it takes to challenge for a championship this year. I don't say I'm sure I'll win the championship, but it's probably no problem to get to the finals.

Inside Team Rocket, however, it was quiet. McHale, a former player and now a head coach for many years, has long thought about the rumors when the playoffs come, and knows the dangers of rumors to the players. As a result, he ordered all Rockets players to be banned from the Internet during the playoffs. You can only contact family and friends by phone.

So the Rockets players are largely unaware that experts are already predicting that they won't make it to the Finals.

But it cannot be said that everyone has done what McHale wants. Harden, for example, certainly didn't follow the head coach's rules, and as the boss of the team, he had a lot of privileges.

When he saw the predictions of those experts on the Internet, he was immediately furious, pointed to the computer screen and scolded: "These pig-like experts, we will enter the finals this year to show you." ”

And another person who secretly surfed the Internet was Wen Hao. He's different from Harden in that he goes online specifically looking for comments on the Black Rockets. In his opinion, although those comments are not objective enough, some of the problems pointed out in them can still be used for reference. For example, there is an article that points out the weaknesses of the Rockets' No. 1 position, especially the weakness of their own defense.

Therefore, you should pay more attention to this aspect.

After getting on the Internet, Wen Hao turned on the phone and prepared to talk to his parents on the phone. But I received seven or eight text messages, from Elena and Anne. Wen Hao shook his head with a wry smile, read all those text messages, and did not reply after that. Because the playoffs are approaching, he doesn't want to be distracted by these things. Besides, I don't have any feelings for these two women at all.

Then Wen Hao dialed his father's phone. My father encouraged himself that since he could play in the playoffs, he must play hard, even if he loses, he must lose like an individual, and he must not be a deserter.

And his mother cared about Wen Hao's body, and asked Wen Hao how he ate, how he lived, and he was going to play in the next game, so he must pay attention to his body. You must be careful when playing a game and not hurt your body. Sometimes, even if you lose a game, you must not let your body suffer.

On the phone, Wen Hao heard his father scolding his mother beside him: "What nonsense are you talking about, since you are playing a game, you must go all out to fight, don't affect the baby here, hang up quickly." ”

The mother also felt that what she said didn't seem to be right, so she hurriedly said to Wen Hao: "Haowa, then I'll hang up, this phone call is expensive, so I won't say more." You're going to have to come back after you play in the summer. ”

"Hmm." Wen Hao listened to his mother's words, his eyes were already a little blurry, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely go back this summer." ”

Hanging up the phone, Wen Hao's heart fluctuated. Even if it is far away from the ocean, this family affection that blood is thicker than water cannot be stopped.

Half an hour later, Wen Hao calmed his mood, lay down, and slept peacefully.

Tomorrow, tomorrow is the playoffs. Tomorrow the Rockets will play the Suns at the Toyota Center. What will happen to your first playoff game?

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, the more excited I became, Wen Hao didn't feel the slightest sleep. He was turned upside down and still couldn't sleep.

I don't know how long it took, turned on the light and looked at the watch, and saw that it was already three o'clock in the morning, Wen Hao didn't feel the slightest sleep, got up and put on his clothes, and walked towards the Toyota Center.

Playoffs, I'm coming! (To be continued.) )
