38 Want to Defend Me?
The game continued, and Wen Hao still couldn't prevent Bill, but looking back, Bill couldn't prevent Wen Hao's pass. Especially after Wen Hao and No. 11 began to block and dismantle, the Wizards were even more unable to defend. No. 11 bombarded the basket repeatedly, and there were as many as three dunks in two minutes, making Beal and the Wizards center the background again and again. In this way, at the end of the first half, the Rockets had chased the score to 57 with Wen Hao's assist and No. 11's dunk.
Everyone on the Rockets bench stood up and applauded the Rockets off the bench. Harden walked up with a smile and patted Wen Hao on the buttocks: "Hey, man, that's a great job, every time you play, you can surprise people." ”
Howard stabbed Wen Hao with his fist and shouted with a smile: "Brother, it's so powerful, I'm so envious of No. 11, throw me a few when you want, let me buckle so well." ”
Brooks smiled and said, "Wen, well done, your performance is getting better and better." ”
But there was a hint of sourness in his words. This is understandable, after all, he used to be the boss of the Rockets for a while, and the offensive power at that time was in his hands, and he was the focus of the Rockets every night. Now I can only sit on the bench and watch others perform. Even a short-contract player like Wen Hao can play so well, but he is still sitting on the cold bench, how can this make him not sour.
McHale didn't treat Wen Hao as cold as before this time, he also stepped forward and encouraged Wen Hao: "Wen, well done, continue to attack in the second half." ”
Wen Hao's heart moved, and he had an indescribable feeling. It was the first time McHale had spoken to himself like this, and it was the first time he had truly recognized himself.
McHale patted Wen Hao on the shoulder, then turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel first. Wen Hao suppressed the feeling in his heart, and walked towards the player tunnel with all the Rocket soldiers.
……
In the Wizards' locker room, the head coach didn't look good. He swept his gaze and said: "In the last minutes of the first half, we played badly, very badly! ”
The Wizards' benches all bowed their heads, and none of them said a word. The coach was obviously talking about them.
"Offensively, you played at your normal level, I have nothing to say about that. But defensively, it's shit! The coach's voice suddenly raised an octave, making everyone's hearts tremble. Bill, who was leaning against the closet, almost shook and subconsciously straightened up.
"A Chinese player, a Chinese player on a short contract, a Chinese who is less than 1.9 meters tall and weighs less than 90 kilograms, will beat you like this? You have disappointed me so much! The coach's eyes were full of anger, and his face was pale.
None of the substitutes dared to speak, and Bill clenched his fists. As the substitute who has improved the most in recent games, only he hesitated for a moment and whispered: "It's not one, it's two ......"
"What about two?!" The coach turned around and looked at Bill angrily, "They have two Chinese, and our substitute five are all Americans, and it's nice to say two?!" ”
Bill lowered his head again, this time not daring to say a word. But a raging anger ignited in his heart: "No. 5, it's all because of you, I can't spare you!" ”
At this time, their main force stepped forward to speak for the substitutes. Nene leaned against the wardrobe and said: "Coach, those two Chinese are really good at blocking, No. 11 is too tall, his cover quality is very good, completely block Bill, and he follows up and dunks, our inside line can't prevent it at all." ”
Okafor also raised his head: "Coach, although the substitutes are responsible, they are not all to blame. After all, no one expected that the Rockets' substitute Chinese would suddenly become powerful, and we did not design defensive tactics against surnames. It's not too late for us to look into this. ”
The coach heard the words of the two and took a deep breath to calm down some of his anger. "In the second half of the third quarter, after the benches returned to the court, the focus was on defending the Rockets' pick-and-roll. Their No. 11 follow-up dunk is great, so don't let him follow up. As soon as they block and dismantle, we make substitutions. Bill, you just go and defend No. 11, as long as you don't let him follow up to the basket. ”
Bill nodded hurriedly and said, "Coach, I will definitely do it." ”
The coach went on to say to the backup center: "Once the number 5 goes inside through the screen, you defend him. The fact that the number 11 rarely lays and shoots means that he is not very good at layups and shots, so as long as you cover him, he can't score. No.11 can't follow up, he can't score, and their pick-and-rolls lose their power, you know? ”
"Understood!" The Wizards' benches shouted in unison. The coach showed them the way, and they just had to do it.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the main forces of the two sides continued to fight. But everyone on the Rockets today doesn't seem to feel good, and the basket is like a lid on it, and no matter how you throw it, it will bounce off. Even an air connection between Harden and Howard was actually deducted.
With four minutes left in the third quarter, the Rockets were seven points behind. McHale had no choice but to replace the main players in advance.
On the Wizards' side, although it is not yet rotation time, they have a 7-point lead, and the Rockets are on the bench again, and they are happy to let the main team rest for a few more minutes, so they also replace the main team.
The two commentators saw that both sides had put the bench on the court in advance and began to chat: "Today, the main team of the Rockets is not in shape, and their bench is in fantastic shape, so McHale has sent the bench, two minutes earlier than usual." ”
"The Wizards also came off the bench. In the second half of the second quarter, the Rockets' substitute No. 5 came on the court, through continuous assists, as well as blocking and dismantling with No. 11, helped the Rockets tie the score, and now that they are back on the court, will they tie the score again like in the second quarter? ”
"I don't think this is a big surname, after the Rockets benches are back on the court, it's nothing more than a pick-and-roll tactic. But after halftime adjustments, I believe that the Wizards have found a way to defend the Rockets against the pick-and-roll, so it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Rockets to catch up with the score again. ”
"If the Rockets' pick-and-roll is blocked, then No. 5 is useless on the offensive end, and his defense is a huge hole, then he's going to be in the first quarter again. Rocket 5 is hanging. ”
Bill came on the field, and listening to the commentary, the anger in his eyes had risen to the extreme. The head coach has already laid out the tactics of defending the Rockets and blocking and dismantling, and he will definitely defend this No. 5 so that he can't find the north. Number 5, you just wait.
And after Wen Hao heard the explanation, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Do you want to prevent me from blocking and dismantling?" Come on......"
