142 Christmas War (xvi)
McHale's gaze looked at Wen Hao. He was hesitating whether he wanted Wen Hao or not. If Wen Hao is allowed to go up, he will not be obedient at all, I really don't know what he will do. But if you don't let him go, in this situation, I really don't know who to let go.
After hesitating for a moment, McHale finally gritted his teeth, ruthlessly said, and said to Wen Hao: "Wen, you go." ”
Wen Hao had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and immediately stood up, threw away the towel on his shoulder, and walked onto the field.
"Oh, McHale is not mistaken, he actually let that Chinese play." ESPN's commentator Harlan said.
"Even though he had a great performance and scored 40 points, he had barely played a critical moment before. Now it's overtime, not to mention anything else, just his psychological quality, whether he can adapt to such a game is still two words; On the other hand, he only averaged less than 20 minutes per game before, and today he played more than 30 minutes, which is already his limit, and now he is playing overtime, can his physical fitness keep up? Reggie Miller pondered.
"I don't care if he can keep up with his fitness, I just know that Kobe's tenacity will make the Lakers win the eventual victory." Barkley shook his head.
And those Hollywood stars on the sidelines are still immersed in the madness of Kobe Bryant's three-point whistle just now, in their opinion, Kobe Bryant has such a state, and it is simply unreasonable for the Lakers to win. So when Wen Hao came on the field, they also began to coax like the fans in the stadium. Although this Chinese performed very well tonight, he was still too tender after all, and he was 108,000 miles worse than Kobe.
At this point, the game continued, and after Bryant hit two free throws, he had increased his score to 38 points.
He seemed to glance at Wen Hao intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes showed undisguised war intent.
Originally, in his opinion, this Chinese was not worth mentioning at all and was not qualified to be his opponent. But in today's game, he actually scored 40 points on his head, which he can't tolerate. Taking advantage of the fact that he had just beaten Harden, he wanted to drum up and give this Chinese flower as well.
The Rockets served, Jeremy Lin dribbled past half court, and according to McHale's arrangement, he handed the ball to the inside first.
Howard squeezed Gasol away and dunked.
In the next two rounds, the rocket was still attacked by others, and the ball was not handed over to Wen Hao.
In fact, Jeremy Lin also has his thoughts, according to Kobe's defense of Wen Hao before, if he hands the ball to Wen Hao at this time, he will definitely be strictly defended by Kobe. So let others play first, and when Kobe's attention is attracted to others, then hit Wen Hao.
When the third round is over, Jeremy Lin will finally not hand it over to Wen Hao.
Sure enough, Kobe Bryant only thought about going to the inside line, and was a little lax on Wen Hao's defense, and Wen Hao's free throw line was a mid-range shot.
Barkley was still saying that Wen Hao's mental and physical qualities were not good, but he was only halfway through the words before he was voted back by this shot. This kid hit again!
Reggie Miller looked at Wen Hao in amazement—nine in a row.
Harlan was surprised for a moment and then said, "I'm skeptical...... Will this Chinese throw away? ”
Kobe Bryant turned his head, and the battle intent in his eyes was even stronger.
But Wen Hao was not worried at all, because he saw that Kobe Bryant's head was sweating like rain, and his chest was rising and falling violently, like a bellows. After all, Kobe Bryant is older, and after another whole high-intensity confrontation, his physical fitness can't keep up.
Thinking of this, Wen Hao posted Kobe Bryant and didn't let Kobe get the ball at all.
Sure enough, as Wen Hao thought, after Kobe Bryant wanted to catch the ball not so easily, he stopped moving and just stood like that. He was really tired.
Seeing this, the fans on the sidelines raised their hearts that were relaxed just now.
And looking back, Wen Hao received a pass from Jeremy Lin again, he faced Kobe, dribbled a step, and turned his back.
Seeing this, Kobe Bryant predicted the position in advance and had already jumped up.
But Wen Hao did not collect the ball after turning around, but switched to a left-handed dribble and directly broke through Kobe. Hit the inside line, and when Gasol was making up the defense, a ground-hitting pass was given to Howard.
Howard smashed the ball into the basket again, turned his head, grinned at Wen Hao, and shouted, "Good pass!" ”
In this way, after two minutes, without Kobe's participation, the Lakers' offense would have lost a strong firepower point, and the Rockets scored 6 points in a row, stretching the difference to 5 points.
Wen Hao relaxed slightly, and the balance of victory had begun to tilt in favor of Team Rocket.
He looked at Kobe Bryant, full of respect in his heart, but sighed secretly: The 37-year-old veteran, who played more than 40 minutes and scored 38 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, has done a perfect job. However, after all, he is no longer young, and the years have mercilessly drained his physical strength at all. In overtime, he was already a little out of strength.
Wen Hao only sighed, and the Rockets only cared about celebrating, but they didn't notice that in Kobe's eyes, there was a hint of ruthlessness.
Like a lurking black mamba, it lurks temporarily only for the fatal blow later.
The Lakers served, Kobe dribbled, and after coming to the frontcourt, in the face of Wen Hao's defense, he suddenly broke through from the right side after changing direction under his crotch.
But because of his lack of physical fitness, his speed was also limited, and this breakthrough did not throw Wen Hao away. Wen Hao slid against Kobe Bryant with his chest and came to the bottom line on the right side.
At this time, Kobe Bryant suddenly collected the ball and jumped.
Wen Hao jumped up, at this time it was already a negative angle, and he had already sealed Kobe's shooting point, and he couldn't have hit.
But at this moment, Kobe Bryant's upper body suddenly leaned back, avoided Wen Hao's cover, and calmly made a move. The posture is as graceful as a leaf in the wind and a butterfly in a flower.
"Huh."
In Wen Hao's incredulous gaze, the sound of the basketball rubbing against the net came.
Negative angle, difficult step-back jumper.
"Oh, Black Mamba, our Black Mamba!" The actor Nicholson was excited, and the live broadcast stood up and stretched out his hands in worship.
Wen Hao looked at Kobe Bryant in horror, his heart full of shock. Kobe Bryant's shot was not unheard of before, but when he went to defend himself, he realized how incredible such a shot was. In his opinion, this goal is impossible to score at all, because it is not only a negative angle just now, it can be said that there is no even a shooting angle, how did he score?
Raising his head and looking at the big screen, Wen Hao couldn't help but gasp.
I saw that on the big screen, Kobe Bryant not only leaned back, but also floated in the air to throw the ball, and the basketball crossed a huge parabola in the air, crossed the top of the rebound, and fell into the basket.
At this moment, there was only one word in Wen Hao's mind - miracles!
