231 Defend first

"Coach, since we have made too many offensive mistakes, it might as well be ...... like this"

In the silence of everyone, Wen Hao spoke.

Head coach McHale's heart lit up, although he didn't know what ghost idea Wen Hao came up with, but after nearly two months of getting along, he already knew that Wen Hao's usual life was not very important, but when it came to the game, the heart eye was the one with the most.

Wen Hao continued: "Attacking them, we don't suffer a loss in attack, but the difference is in mistakes. They only had five turnovers in the first half, compared to our 18. It was these extra 13 mistakes that allowed them to catch up with the score. โ€

"That's right." McHale admits that it was the extra mistakes that allowed the Celtics to catch up.

"In that case, we can lower the tempo and there will be fewer mistakes." Wen Hao said.

"The rhythm is down? No, no, no, that's too risky, we've been training how to get fast, and now all of a sudden, it's very likely that the players won't be able to play, it's too risky, it's absolutely not okay. McHale shook his head repeatedly, as a cautious coach, he would not take such a risk.

Wen Hao smiled and said, "Coach, you misunderstood what I meant. I mean, on offense we have the same tempo, we still play fastball, but defensively, we have to step back as quickly as possible and push them into positional battles. โ€

McHale thought for a moment, and that was fine. So he asked Wen Hao: "And then?" โ€

Harden, who has never gotten along with Wen Hao very well, also said with a cold face at this time: "Rondo and Babu not only like to play fast breaks, they are also very good at playing positions. Their efficiency in positional warfare is almost as good as that in fast attack. You're leading us to our deaths. โ€

"It's true that they are really good at playing positions," Wen Hao said with a smile, "but that depends on who is right." Against those teams with poor interior strength, the two of them can break through casually, and as long as they break through, they can almost score. But we have Howard on the inside, and we also have Da Yao, who is 2.26 meters long, as long as these two people go there, they are two mountains, and even if they can jump, it will be difficult to overcome. So we can try to defend on the outside, prevent bursts, let them burst in, and then cover them from the inside. Coach, what do you think of this? โ€

The Rockets players stopped talking, pondering the possible names of this style of play. McHale didn't speak either, he wasn't thinking about the possibility of this style of play, he didn't have to think about it at all to know that it worked. He is now mentally assessing the risks of this style of play, and if it is more risky, he will abandon it.

But after all the considerations, McHale finally concluded that this style of play is the least risky given the current situation.

At the same time, McHale was surprised again in his heart: how did Wen Hao's brain grow? He's just giving birth to a coach's brain.

So McHale readily agreed to Wen Hao's style of play, and at the same time he looked at the bearded Harden and asked, "Misses, what do you think?" โ€

To be honest, Harden is a hundred unwilling to follow Wen Hao's heart, but objectively speaking, the style of play that Wen Hao said is the most suitable for the current situation. For the sake of victory, for the championship, he could only reluctantly nod: "Well, I agree." โ€

Although it was said bluntly, it puzzled the Rockets players. Harden is at odds with Wen Hao in peace, which anyone can see, and even in many cases, Harden will deliberately squeeze out Wen Hao, what's wrong today, why did he suddenly agree with Wen Hao's opinion? Did Harden take the wrong medicine or did they take the wrong medicine?

McHale saw that Harden also agreed, and immediately clapped: "Okay, let's play like this in the second half." Offensively, we continue to attack in the first half, and defensively, we will follow what Wen Hao said just now, prevent the burst, as long as they burst in, let the inside line cover it, I don't believe they can still fly. โ€

Soon, the third quarter of the game was about to begin, and the fans were returning to their seats one after another, and the two commentators were in place.

Gorman smiled: "To be honest, the backcourt combination of the Rockets Harden and Wen Hao really surprised me, these two people who have hardly cooperated with each other have suddenly worked together so tacitly, almost on par with our backcourt combination of Rondo and Babu." But the Rockets made too many mistakes, and if they continued to make mistakes like this, even if their backcourt combination was a little better, they would not be able to win against us. โ€

Haythorne also said with a smile: "The Rockets have always been bad at controlling turnovers, and today they were especially turnover, as many as 18 in the half, which is simply a high school team." I think today they are going to win, it's going to be difficult. โ€

At the start of the second half, Celtic continued to be their main line-up, with Rondo and Babu both on the field. On the Rockets' side, the other positions are all starters, but in point guard, it is not Jeremy Lin, who was originally a starter. Since Wen Hao's combination of Harden worked very well just now, McHale let Wen Hao play.

Now the players on the Rockets court are: point guard Wen Hao, point guard Harden, small front Parsons, big forward Jones, center Howard.

The first goal, attacked by Celtic.

Rondo dribbled to the front court, facing Wen Hao's defense, he was still in the same posture of slowly bending over and dribbling.

And Wen Hao's defense did not shrink back, but pressed forward, and he had already pressed out of the three-point line, less than half a step away from Rondo.

Seeing this, Gorman, the commentator at the scene, said: "What's wrong with the point guard of the Rockets? He defends Rondo like this, and Rondo can pass him in one step. Did he break stupid at halftime? โ€

"To be honest, his defense is hard enough, but his physical fitness is too average, he can't defend against Rondo, and now he is actually using this kind of defense, obviously looking for death." Haythorne shook his head, as if mourning for Wen Hao.

Sure enough, before he could finish speaking, he saw Rondo take a step forward suddenly, passing Wen Hao in an instant. Although Wen Hao desperately tried to push his chest against Rondo on the side, it was to no avail. Rondo went straight to the inside, Howard pounced on the other side to make up for the defense, and a weird smile hung on the corner of Rondo's mouth. He only needs a slight change of direction to dodge Howard and score for a layup.

But when he was asked to change direction, he suddenly found that it was not good. It turned out that Wen Hao had been pushing him against him with his chest on his left side, and he couldn't change to the left side at all, he could only go to the right. And on the right is Howard's hood coming down.

Rondo had already gotten up three steps at this time, and he couldn't find anyone to pass the ball, so he had to make a layup.

There was no doubt that a "snap" resounded through the gardens of the North Shore, like thunder, resounded over Rondo's head. Rondo was almost startled.

Howard slapped the ball away with a big hat, and it landed right in Wen Hao's hand. Wen Hao caught the ball with one hand, and then didn't even look at it, and threw it directly to the back of his head.

Harden was already running to the front court, the ball catching up to him over his head, and Harden picked up the ball and sped forward.

Babu was closest to Harden, he chased Harden to the frontcourt, and when he reached the three-point line, he finally caught up with Harden, constantly interfering with Harden's dribbling on the side.

But what is Harden best at? It is touching porcelain. Seeing that Babu was running almost parallel to him, he immediately leaned over him and made a shooting motion at the same time.

"Tick ......"

The referee's whistle blew, and Harden drew a foul on Babu in the way he was best suited. What's even worse is his random shooting action, and the ball actually got into the basket after a few turns on the basket.

The Rockets players on the sidelines stood up and waved towels, and Howard walked over and punched Harden in the chest, shouting, "Well done!" โ€

Harden looked the same, as if it was a common thing, stood at the free throw line and hit the free throw steadily. A successful 2+1.

The two commentators on the sidelines had a feeling of being bitter and indescribable at this time, they thought that this time it was Rondo who scored easily, but they didn't expect to be slapped away, but they were beaten 2+1 by the Rockets.

Rondo's face was ugly, and he already had the appearance of an alien, but at this time, his expression was cold, and the whole look made people feel terrifying. He took the serve and dribbled to the frontcourt. According to his surname, this time he must continue to break through Wen Hao, and he must score a goal.

But Rondo is no longer a child, he is now the leader of the Celts, and he has learned to mature. He didn't attack on his own, but gave the ball to Babu. The mistake just now made me angry and I had to calm down, so I shouldn't take the ball for the time being.

After Babu got the ball, he faced Harden and still chose to break through. was beaten 2+1 by Harden just now, and he was unhappy in his heart, so he must surprise Harden. After shaking from side to side, he easily burst in, but at this moment, he found that there was suddenly darkness in front of him, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not good. I saw that Howard had already pounced with his teeth and claws.

In a hurry, Bรกb threw a high hand. But due to the hasty shot, the ball bounced on the basket and was picked up by Jones and given to Wen Hao as soon as possible.

Wen Hao took the ball and saw that there were no rocket players in front of him, so he dribbled and ran forward. But his dribbling speed was not very fast, and he was quickly caught up by Babu and blocked in front of him.

At this moment, he opened the Breakthrough Skill without Solution, and only changed direction with one direction, passing Babu in an instant. The bab in the back was dumbfounded, this kid doesn't look very fast, why is he so fast at that moment?

Babu was passed, and Rondo was in front of Wen Hao again. Meanwhile, Parsons on the left is already getting down.

Wen Hao came to Rondo, and suddenly pulled the ball up with his right hand and passed it to Parsons from behind.

Seeing this, Rondo hurriedly moved to the left, trying to break the ball.

But Wen Hao's ball didn't go out, and when Rondo moved to the left, his ball pulled back and scored on a three-step layup.

At this moment, the Rockets players were boiling again.

After staring at the scene for a long time, Goleman, the commentator at the scene, finally spoke: "It turned out to be ...... Rondo's back fake fax layup! (To be continued.) )
