The Rockets finished first in the West in the regular season, but were won by the Suns two games in a row at home, which is unreasonable to see, but it is true.

By this time, most of the American media had already begun to turn to the sun. What they mean is that the Suns have won two games at the Rockets' home court, and when they return to the Suns' home court, the Rockets are likely to lose one game, so it will be 1-3 points, and it will be extremely difficult for the Rockets to turn the tables again. Moreover, the Suns played both games at a fast pace, and the Rockets' twin towers simply couldn't keep up with their fast pace. The only way for the Rockets now is to change their lineup, put their twin towers down, and switch to a different lineup.

However, temporary change of formation is extremely taboo in n**a, especially in the playoffs, because the tactics used in the previous lineup are already familiar, and now the formation is suddenly changed, the formation is not familiar, the style of play is not familiar, and the tactics have not been practiced, how to play?

So about seventy percent of the U.S. media is already leaning toward the Suns.

The Phoenix media, in particular, is even more hyped about the Suns, just like many fans who ignore their surnames. In their opinion, the Rockets are destined to be eliminated by the Suns. The sun is destined to create the miracle of the Black Eight.

One newspaper commented: The Suns have carried forward the tradition left by Nash, playing small-ball tactics with great vigor and offense, and the so-called twin towers of the Rockets simply can't keep up with the rhythm of the Suns. The advantage that Team Rocket thinks is actually their dead end, as long as the Suns continue to hit their dead hole with fast attack, they will definitely achieve the "Black Eight Miracle".

Another website said: "No one on the Rockets' point guards can limit Dragic, even if their Beverley can keep Dragic on for minutes, but can he stop Dragic all over the court?" Dragic, on the other hand, was able to use his dead-end defense to kill the Rockets' two point guards. Without the support of point guards, even if the Rockets have Harden, Howard and Da Yao, they are just a piece of loose sand. All in all, the Rockets' point guards are too far behind the Suns' point guards to be able to win. ”

……

Of course, the Houston media also fought back against the Phoenix media, but after all, they lost two games, and even if they fought back, they didn't have much confidence.

But one of these articles is full of confidence. This is the article of reporter Harper, in which he said: "The most important thing for the Rockets at the moment is to control the tempo, as long as they can control the rhythm and not run with the Suns, then with the twin towers, the Rockets will easily defeat the Suns." And in the first game, Wen Hao, the point guard of the Rockets, retired with an injury, Wen Hao was unable to play due to injury in the second game, and if Wen Hao could play in the third game, it would definitely be a great boost to the strength of the Rockets.

This article is of course sought after by Rockets fans, because of this article, they have higher expectations for Wen Hao, hoping that Wen Hao can explode if he plays in the next game.

Speaking of Wen Hao's injury, after a few days of recuperation, his injury has improved a lot. Although there is a dull pain at times, the injury to the bridge of the nose can be much stronger than the bone injury to the hands and feet. Before Team Rocket drove to Phoenix, Wen Hao finally got his mask. Originally, Howard and the others proposed to order a mask of other colors for Wen Hao that looked like a superhero, but because the league banned players from wearing masks of other colors, they could only order an ordinary transparent mask with no freshness.

However, this is also more in line with Wen Hao's surname, simple and unassuming.

When he came to Phoenix, Wen Hao did not stop, but directly started training in the stadium. It's going to be tomorrow night and he's going to have to get his groove right by tomorrow night. The Rockets can't afford to lose again.

After more than three hours of training, he returned to the hotel where the Rockets were staying, exhausted. At this time, he turned on his phone. Three text messages received. There are two things that are naturally Elena and Anne, and the content is without it, but still some words like take care of your body and pay attention to rest. Wen Hao's handling method is still the same as before, and he did not reply to these text messages.

The third one was sent by Yu Song: Wen Hao, turn on the phone and call me back.

Wen Hao immediately dialed Yu Song's phone, and before he could speak, he heard Yu Song say over there: "Wen Hao, tell you something, but don't get excited after you hear it." I'm afraid of affecting your game.

Wen Hao wondered, what made Yu Song so solemn? In confusion, he nodded and said, "Well, you can say it." ”

Yu Song began to speak: "Gerald? Do you remember when Green struck the bridge of your nose? ”

"Nonsense, of course I remember," Wen Hao said, "but we all saw it, he didn't mean it at the time." ”

"Listen to me, I have a friend who works as a waitress at a bar in Phoenix. He said yesterday the Suns returned to Phoenix to celebrate at their bar, Gerrard? Green drank a lot of alcohol last night because of his excellent performance. After drinking, he said in front of everyone that he slapped you at that time, in fact, it was intentional, and he also said that if you didn't play at that time, it was likely that the Rockets would catch up with the score, and there would not be the current 2-0. ”

"......" Wen Hao heard this and did not speak. The anger in his heart surged up, burning straight towards the Heavenly Spirit Gai. His eyes were filled with rage.

He was still too naïve, he thought that in n**a, everyone was a player and they all ate this bowl of rice, so no one would deliberately get along with anyone. At most, it's a hot brain, and it's impossible to plan to deliberately hurt anyone.

But I didn't expect that after all, there would be such a despicable player, who would do whatever it took to win, even at the expense of hurting others.

Seeing that Wen Hao didn't speak, Yu Song was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Wen Hao, what's wrong?" ”

Wen Hao forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and calmed his voice: "It's okay." ”

"Are you alright?" Yu Song is still not at ease.

"If I encounter a vicious dog on the road and is bitten, will I not be able to bite it back?" Wen Hao said, his voice still calm.

Yu Song heard that Wen Hao was indeed fine, so he was relieved, and said something like a contract to Wen Hao, and finally hung up the phone. But after hanging up the phone, he was always unsteady in his heart. When Wen Hao said that he was "fine", his voice was indeed calm, but it was also too calm, so calm that it was frightening. It's like the calm before the storm.

Shaking his head, Yu Song pressed down these messy thoughts, probably thinking too much. I told Wen Hao the news, I just hope that Wen Hao will meet Gerald next time? Green can be careful not to be plotted by him again.

At the same time, after Wen Hao hung up the phone, he looked out the window, and a daunting cold light flashed in his eyes. But on the contrary, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: Gerald? Green, yes? We'll see!

If there is a word, it is long, and if there is no word, it is short. Soon, at ten o'clock the next night, the game between the two sides will begin.

When Wen Hao walked out of the locker room with his teammates, he happened to bump into Gerrard around the corner? Green.

Gerrard? When Green saw Wen Hao, he was stunned for a moment, and then a meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Wen Hao: "Your nose is better, right?" I really didn't mean to do it last time. ”

Jones immediately stepped forward and said angrily: "The ghost believes it, it wasn't on purpose, then let me hit you in the nose!" "When he speaks, he has to swing his fist.

Of course, he won't really fight, just let Gerrard? Green knows that Rockets players are not easy to mess with.

Gerrard? Green continued: "I really didn't mean to. The smile on his face was even more unbridled. He just wanted to off the Rockets. If you get beaten up and get several Rockets players suspended, you'll make a lot of money.

At this time, Wen Hao blocked Jones and said, "I believe it." "Say, to Gerald? Green laughed back.

Green was slightly stunned, not knowing what Wen Hao meant. However, he felt that with Wen Hao's IQ, he really didn't know that he did it on purpose, so he would be like this. So the smile on the corner of his mouth was even bigger, and he said with a smile: "Okay, good, good, you China is worthy of being a country of etiquette, and those who come out understand etiquette." Hahahaha......"

Gerrard? Green laughed and walked away.

"This kid is too a** to be beaten." Howard said indignantly.

The rest of the Rockets nodded in agreement.

Da Yao came to Wen Hao's side at this time and patted Wen Hao on the shoulder: "How is it?" You okay? ”

Wen Hao watched Green's back disappear around the corner of the passage, raised his head and smiled at Da Yao: "It's okay." As he spoke, he turned his head and continued to walk outside.

Da Yao was slightly stunned, from Wen Hao's face, what he saw was not the usual smile, but a ...... An indescribable smile, very strange anyway.

Da Yao thought to himself: Maybe something will happen tonight.

At this time, in front of the TV, the fans in Houston and the Chinese Rockets fans on the other side of the ocean are looking forward to it. Until today's game, the Rockets officially did not announce whether Wen Hao would play or not, and fans were very anxious and worried. Worried about Wen Hao's injury, anxious If Wen Hao can't play, how should the Rocket team play? Will you win today?

Finally, when the fans were already in a hurry, on the TV screen, a group of Rockets players walked out of the player tunnel. One, two, three...... Seeing Wen Hao come out, the fans were even more anxious. Wen Hao won't really be unable to play, right? What happened to his injuries? If he can't play, who should the Rockets send to replace him?

Just as the fans were talking, the last player of the Rockets walked out of the tunnel.

……

"Wen Hao!" A fan cried out in surprise.

"It's Wen Hao! It's really Wen Hao! Another player said.

"He's in a training suit! It's really possible to play today! ”

"I'm not sure if I'll be able to play, but since I'm wearing a training shirt, it means that the injury is fine, maybe ...... Maybe in a pinch for the Rockets, he'll be on the court! (To be continued.) )
