33 Perfect dribbling
Head coach McHale - dumbfounded.
He watched Wen Hao's two hands and three balls constantly shuttling back and forth under his crotch, as relaxed and natural as an acrobat, his surprise reached an unprecedented level, and the mouth that was slightly open because of surprise did not close for half a minute. Half a minute later, his Adam's apple squirmed for a moment before he said slowly, "Perfect...... It was perfect......"
At this time, he had long forgotten his previous attempt to make up his mind that Wen Hao's level was not up to standard, and he couldn't help but praise it.
Beverly next to him was also stunned. He'd heard of Paul passing with two balls, but he'd never heard of someone who could dribble three balls for a crotch change and dribble so fluidly. In his previous worldview, it was simply impossible for a normal person to dribble to such an extent. And now, Wen Hao's dribbling completely subverts his perception.
On the court in the distance, the Rockets players also noticed Wen Hao's three-ball performance with both hands one after another, and they all stopped their movements one by one, they had forgotten about training, and they were all shocked by Wen Hao's acrobatic dribbling performance. No one had ever seen anyone dribble like this before, not even in street basketball.
At this time, in the training hall, it was unprecedentedly quiet, only the sound of Wen Hao's dribbling kept echoing-bang......
Brooks, the point guards, looked at Wen Hao with envy. What kind of happiness it would be for a point guard to have the level of ball control like Wen Hao. Although Jeremy Lin had seen Wen Hao dribble like this before, he was still very surprised at this time. Harden is also a little envious, if he has Wen Hao's excellent dribbling, he can have at least one or two fewer turnovers in a game, in that case, he will score 2 to 3 more points. Sometimes, it's just these two or three points that can determine the outcome of a game.
……
The silence lasted more than a minute before it was broken by Morey. He waved his hand at Wen Hao to signal that he could stop, and then turned his head to look at McHale with a smile on his face: "What's the matter?" ”
McHale, who was intoxicated by Wen Hao's wonderful dribbling, came back to his senses, his old face flushed slightly, and then said seriously: "Point guard, absolute point guard!" ”
"Hahahaha......" This time Morey laughed.
McHale thought for a moment and continued: "It seems that I was really biased against him before, and I was wrong. As he spoke, he turned his head to Wen Hao and said seriously: "Wen, I was prejudiced against you before, can you forgive me?" ”
Wen Hao was a little surprised. He didn't expect head coach McHale to admit his mistake as a short-contract player. Truth be told, it's a lie to say that he doesn't hate McHale. No matter how he behaved, he always seemed to be not recognized by McHale, which made him feel more and more hatred for McHale in his heart while he was depressed. But he didn't expect that when McHale realized his mistake, he took the initiative to apologize to himself, a short-term contract player, which made his hatred disappear in an instant. Now it seems, McHale doesn't seem to be as annoying as he used to be.
Thinking of this, Wen Hao nodded and said, "Coach, there is nothing to forgive or not forgive, you are also for the benefit of the team." ”
McHale once again expressed his admiration for Wen Hao in his heart. Chinese players are always so humble and polite, as is the No. 11, and so is Wen Hao. He smiled and nodded and said, "It's good if you can understand, in the next game, I will give you enough playing time, and you will play the No. 1 position." ”
Hearing McHale's promise, Wen Hao's heart instantly bloomed, like hundreds of fireworks in his heart, which was extremely brilliant. A 10,000-year-old bench who has never been able to play, a short-term contract player who has not been recognized by the head coach even if he has an outstanding performance, suddenly gets the promise of the head coach's playing time, like a dream shining into reality, how can he not be excited.
But Wen Hao's face didn't show it too much, he was so happy and angry. He nodded to the manager: "Thank you. ”
Morey, who was next to him, saw Wen Hao's performance like this, and admired in his heart: In the face of sudden happiness, he can remain so calm, which is a necessary psychological quality for a point guard. Wen Hao, I didn't misread you.
Head coach McHale also nodded and said to Wen Hao: "According to what the general manager said, you will come on the bench in the next game, and your main task is to block and dismantle with No. 11 in the positional battle." Practice this today and tomorrow, and the night after tomorrow, in Washington, you'll be ready to play. ”
Wen Hao nodded lightly, turned around and walked towards No. 11, his pace was not in a hurry, as steady as ever.
Morey smiled and watched Wen Hao leave, and said to McHale next to him: "I can't see it, you still have a good habit of changing your mistakes." ”
McHale raised his head and boasted to himself, "Of course. ”
"However, since you want to use him, why don't you help him design a few sets of tactics?"
"I'm skeptical that he's going to be able to do as well as he did on the court when he's really in the rotation. So, now he's still playing the way he does, so I can get a better look at his habits. If he can't, continue to sit on the bench; If he can, design a few sets of tactics for him according to these habits. At this time, McHale's eyes flashed with the depth of an old coach.
"Oh, you know this better than I do, and I won't ask more." Morey nodded, didn't say anything more, looked at the Harden and Howard combination on the court, Wen Hao and the Chinese combination of No. 11, and in his mind, a rocket that made the entire league tremble has begun to take shape.
Two days later, the Rockets flew to Washington. This is Wen Hao's first time here. Although he has been in the NBA for more than a year, he has been cut many times during this period, and most of the time no team wants him, and he is unemployed. So it's a miracle that he hasn't been here once for more than a year. But this is definitely not something he wants to mention, and he has made up his mind that in the near future, he must let everyone know his name, and his name can only be accompanied by brilliant records, not these strange and shameful records.
The Wizards haven't had a great record in the past two years, and the players haven't been very good, and the team seems to have lost its vitality since the departure of Agent Arenas at No. 0.
But the Rockets, who have just ended their losing streak, do not dare to take it lightly, on the field, there is no absolute weakling, and there is no absolute strong. Even a strong team like the Heat will lose at the hands of a weak team. And in the past season, the Wizards have ended the winning streak of strong teams many times, and are known as the "Winning Streak Terminators". So McHale reminded the players not to be careless.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the game between the two sides officially began. Wen Hao, as a substitute, naturally couldn't play as soon as he came up. He sat on the sidelines, watching the players on both sides fight on the field, and the blood in his heart had begun to boil......
