In everyone's expectation, Wen Hao returned to the game. At this point, the Rockets trailed by eight points and had five minutes left in the third quarter. If by the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers are stretched to double digits, the fourth quarter will be difficult to play.

At this time, the main defense against Wen Hao is still Owen. In fact, in Irving's eyes, Harden is not a real opponent, Wen Hao is. Harden only scored by one person at most, and as soon as Harden came on the court, the Rockets didn't run smoothly; And Wen Hao is different, as long as he is on the court, he will drive the whole team to score, and many times the ball is very fast, so that people don't have time to defend at all. Therefore, compared with Harden, Wen Hao can be regarded as an opponent.

Now that the real opponent has come up, Owen naturally defended Wen Hao carefully, and at the same time told the other teammates behind him: "Defend your people, don't let him pass the ball." ”

But, obviously, Owen miscalculated.

Wen Hao didn't rush to get the ball as soon as he came up, but went around the inside line directly, and fell low on the left side after passing Da Yao's cover. Seeing this, Jeremy Lin immediately executed the first set of tactics designed by McHale for Wen Hao, and after passing the ball to Wen Hao, he pulled away from the rest of the Rockets to the right side.

Owen was behind Wen Hao at this time, with a solemn expression. Although he didn't pay much attention to Wen Hao before the game, there was one thing that he noticed, that is, Wen Hao's virtual and real steps. Before this game, there were so many people planted under the virtual and real footsteps, and even Kobe Bryant did not dare to be careless in the face of the virtual and real steps. This shows how strong the virtual and real steps are. So as soon as he saw Wen Hao put on a posture of virtual and real footsteps, Owen became dignified.

This time, though, he still miscalculated.

Wen Hao did get the ball in the low post, and he did have his back to Owen. But instead of making a real move, he suddenly dribbled to the outside and then turned around for a jumper.

Owen didn't expect Wen Hao to jump at all, so he naturally didn't have time to defend.

Wen Hao has the bonus of unsolved mid-shot, and at such a close distance, he naturally hits steadily.

On the sidelines, McHale exhaled. In his subconscious, he already felt that as long as Wen Hao played, the situation would always stabilize.

Looking back, Owen wanted to break through Wen Hao's defense, but when he got the ball, suddenly there were two defenders in front of him, Wen Hao and Jeremy Lin, the two of them clamped him on the sideline, and he couldn't dribble a single step. In desperation, I had to pass the ball. But when he passed to the left, suddenly Parsons came out of the side, cut the ball, and went straight to the frontcourt, playing a fast attack.

However, for Parsons, he is good enough in other aspects, but he is not good enough to pass the ball in the fast break, or he almost never passes the ball in the fast break, he just holds the ball hard. But this time Irving had already chased it back, hit a big hat, and bounced the racket back on the rebound.

It just so happened that Wen Hao arrived in the back, received the ball at the free throw line, and directly stopped and jumped.

The Cavaliers' point guard behind had already rushed over and jumped up from behind Wen Hao.

But at this time, Wen Hao actually used his not-so-good bounce to stay in the air once, dodging the chase behind him, and then suddenly attacked. Although the arc of the ball was a little flat, it still smashed into the basket.

Owen couldn't catch up on it, and when he turned around, he only saw Wen Hao's back that had turned around.

The Cavaliers attacked again, this time although Irving broke through Wen Hao's defense, but after entering the interior line, he faced the tall Da Yao, but he had no angle to shoot, so he could only divide the ball. But when they made a hasty shot, their outside line was blocked by Parsons. The ball fell into Wen Hao's hands.

After Wen Hao took the ball, he didn't dribble the ball himself, but threw the ball directly to Jeremy Lin and ran to the front court by himself.

When I got to the front, I still went through cover and fell to the low post.

Jeremy Lin's ball came over at the right time. After Wen Hao got the ball, Owen stood up to Wen Hao again. This time he was on guard, and he would definitely not let Wen Hao succeed again.

I saw Wen Hao with his back to Owen this time, and suddenly took a step to the outside line, then stopped and turned slightly to the left.

Seeing this, Owen knew that Wen Hao was going to play the last move again, so he immediately pounced. But he kept an eye on it and knew that Wen Hao had a lot of ghost ideas, so he didn't jump up when he pounced, but wiped the ground with his feet and went up. In this way, if something changes, he can respond to it as soon as possible.

This time Owen guessed correctly, after Wen Hao turned slightly to the left, he did not jump and shoot, but at the moment when Owen pounced, he pulled the ball with his right hand and used his left foot as the axis, and turned quickly.

This turn is crisp and neat, although Owen has been guarding against the change early, but he is on the way to pounce, Wen Hao turned around and cleaned him up, and then when Bynum came over to make up for the defense, he raised the ball with both hands, but did not shoot, after shaking Bynum, he took a step forward with his right foot, passed under the basket, and scored on the other side.

This ball is extremely exciting, not only the virtual and real footsteps behind, but also the flickering and turning in front are also very beautiful. He combined his outside breakthrough skills with his inside virtual and real footwork, and his power suddenly increased, even if Irving and Bynum defended with all their might, it would not help. The two commentators on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud Wen Hao.

Cavaliers head coach Brown looked at Wen Hao with wide eyes, and was surprised in his heart. I didn't expect the skills of the Rockets' No. 5 point guard to be so proficient, it seems that I underestimated this kid.

"Wen Hao's style of play today doesn't seem to be the same as usual," said commentator Brad, "In the past, he always focused on passing, but today he attacked violently and didn't pass the ball at all." Is it to compete with Owen? ”

Glider Drexler shook his head and said, "I don't think it like, Wen Hao is not the kind of player who is easily impulsive, and it is unlikely that he will compete with Owen." To me, it seems like he's ...... Take over the game. ”

"Take over the game?" Brad looked at Drexler in surprise. You know, it's usually superstars who can take over the game. Wen Hao wants to take over the game as a substitute player, this joke is too big, right?

But Drexler said seriously: "That's right, just like Paul, when the team is behind and the other players are not working, he will step up at the right time and use his individual offense to ensure that the team scores." Wen Hao's current style of play is like this. ”

When Drexler said this, Brad was not only not relieved, but even more surprised. Because they can generally know when to attack and when to pass, and when the team is downwind, they will pass more to help their teammates score; When the team doesn't go well with their teammates, they stand up and score points -- the ones who are free to collect and release are superstars who have been in the NBA for at least many years and can get points if they want to. Like James, Kobe, Paul and the like. Wen Hao, a substitute player, can also do this? Unlikely, right?

It's not that Brad doesn't believe it, but he can't believe it.

But the next thing it turned out was that Wen Hao did exactly that.

When the Cavaliers called a timeout and came back, they significantly strengthened their defense against Wen Hao. Especially Owen, after being reminded by the head coach, he went crazy and generally practiced close defense against Wen Hao. But Wen Hao changed his style of play at this time.

He still got through the cover of the inside line and fell low on the left side. It was too late for Owen to go around at this time, so he had to pounce on Wen Hao from behind, and at the same time carefully guard against Wen Hao's virtual and real steps. And the two Cavaliers players next to him are also ready to come over to make up for the defense at any time, and it looks like they have set up a net for Wen Hao, just waiting for him to drill in.

But this time, Wen Hao didn't stop the ball at all, and when Jeremy Lin passed the ball in, he just pulled his right hand back slightly, and the basketball lightly jumped over the head of Irving behind him, over the top of Bynum's head, and fell into Da Yao's hands.

Da Yao received such a clever pass, unceremoniously, pulled it up and dunked, and pulled the basket squeak.

For Wen Hao's exquisite passing, Rocket fans have long been numb. If someone else passed such a ball, they would definitely be amazed, but Wen Hao passed such a ball, it would be very common. So the fans were still excited, but they were much quieter than when they first saw the pass.

But for people who really know how to do it, you can't get tired of watching this kind of pass hundreds of times. The two commentators and the head coach assistant coaches of the Rockets all flashed with excitement in their eyes at this time. Even the uniform team of the Cavaliers had a glimmer of light in their eyes. Such a pass looks really pleasing to the eye and is enviable.

"Wen Hao's passing is really getting more and more like a magician." Brad said.

"No, if you look at it from the positional battle, his passing seems to be much more exciting than that of the magician." Drexler said, "What he lacks right now than the Magic is the ability to take advantage of opportunities in the fast break." And the Rockets are originally a fast team, and the position station is not what they are good at, but Wen Hao can only play his role in the position station. As a result, he has not been reused by McHale. ”

"Yes, in the hands of the magician, he can convert the fast attack opportunities that others can't see at all, and Wen Hao just lacks such an ability."

In the midst of the two commentators, the Rockets have begun to attack. This time, Jeremy Lin was still near the halfway, so it was up to Wen Hao to serve. After receiving the ball, he looked up at the court, and saw that the Cavaliers players on the court were staring at the Rockets players. In such a situation, it is impossible to launch a fast attack, so you have to advance quickly first, forcing the knight to retreat quickly. In a quick retreat, there will inevitably be a hole in their defense, and all they have to do is find this hole and pass the ball through.

At this time, in his mind, the images of those magicians controlling the fast attack on the tape flashed one by one. He squinted at the commentary booth, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
