273 Decisive Moment

In everyone's confusion, the Rockets continued their style of play, letting Nash go and letting Nash shoot.

Nash naturally had nothing to say, and although he missed a three-point shot just now, he immediately adjusted, took a step forward, and hit two points. After hitting two two-pointers, another three-pointer came, and sure enough, the three-pointer opened again.

And the Lakers are out of the court because of Marshall, Nash and Kobe are both veterans, and they have to give up their fast play. As a result, the Rockets also played well, and in the final two minutes, the Lakers caught up with some scores, but did not equalize. At this time, the Rockets were 120-116 and still led by four points. However, these four points are not safe for the Rockets.

Once again, it was the Lakers' turn to attack, and the fans in the stadium stood up. They knew what was going to happen next, and it happened countless times in the fourth quarter: it was nothing more than Kobe Bryant dribbling across half court and getting trapped, then handing the ball to Nash, who ended up shooting unguarded.

They were all expecting Nash to shoot a three-pointer at this point. Even the actor Nicholson, who had been sitting there calmly, stood up.

Commentator Mullin saw that Kobe Bryant had dribbled to the frontcourt, and immediately said excitedly: "Kobe is going to pass the ball to Nash." ”

……

"He passed it on to Nash."

……

"Nash is going to make a shot, and as long as he hits this shot, the Lakers are only one point away.

At this time, the fans were a little nervous, and everyone in the Rockets was also very nervous. Although they believe Wen Hao, now that the facts are in front of them, if they catch up with the score, it will all be Nash's fault.

But at this moment, Nash was already jumping up, and suddenly, his eyes turned red, and a man in a red jersey appeared in front of him. When Nash was defenseless, a big hat "snapped" and smashed the ball to the ground.

Then the red jersey pounced directly on the basketball, and before everyone could react, it went straight to the front court of the Rockets, jumped high, and dunked the ball into the basket with a "bang".

It was only then that Nash could see the number on that jersey. No. 5 jersey, Rockets point guard, Wen Hao!

"Careless, careless. Although Wen Hao wrapped Kobe Bryant just now, the distance between him and Nash is not that he can't go back. And Nash was used to making his own shots without anyone to block, so he didn't prepare too much, and was actually covered by Wen Hao. Narrator said in surprise.

"It's all the fault of habit. However, Nash is a very good player, and if there is such an opportunity in the future, he will definitely not be blocked again. ”

……

As he spoke, the Lakers had already dribbled past half court. This time, Wen Hao did not immediately step forward to wrap Kobe, but waited.

The commentator on the sidelines saw this and was a little strange: "At such an important moment, Kobe Bryant is very likely to break out." This is the time when Kobe Bryant should be wrapped, why didn't he go to wrap it up? ”

Just as he was talking, Kobe Bryant faced Harden and saw that there was no one to wrap up, so he immediately chose to break through. But just as he was about to break through, Wen Hao suddenly stepped forward to wrap up. Bryant had to take two steps back. And when Wen Hao saw Kobe retreating, he also retreated to defend Nash. And when Bryant tried to break through again, he came over again.

In fact, the two commentators didn't know that Wen Hao did this intentionally. Once Kobe Bryant is going to break through, he will go to the bag. If Bryant doesn't plan to break through, he's going to defend Nash. In this way, Kobe Bryant will inevitably dribble the ball for a while and spend a little more time. And now the less time there is, the better it will be for the Rockets.

If the commentator on the sidelines knew that Wen Hao was using this method to consume time at this time, his jaw would definitely drop. Players can only do this when the ball is in their own hands. I have never heard that when the ball is in the hands of the opposing player, it can even find a way to waste time.

Kobe glanced at the timer on the rebound at this time, and saw that there was only one minute and fifteen seconds, and the Lakers did not have much time. He immediately wanted to force a breakthrough. Seeing this, Wen Hao hurriedly came over to be defended, this time Kobe Bryant was really going to break through, he naturally couldn't ignore it.

Kobe Bryant was halfway through, and seeing Wen Hao blocking the way in front of him, he suddenly sent his right hand, and the ball flew towards Nash.

And Nash, who is open at this time, is likely to hit a three-pointer.

There was silence at the Staples Center, and everyone watched as Nash received the ball.

After Nash received the ball, he didn't shoot immediately, but glanced at Wen Hao with his peripheral vision, and only then did he make a move when he was sure that Wen Hao was too late to come over to make up for the defense.

But just as he jumped up, suddenly, Wen Hao's figure appeared in front of his eyes strangely again, and he slapped the ball away.

Nash was shocked that he was so far away that he could pounce on the defense, which ......

The commentator on the sidelines was also surprised: "At the distance just now, if someone else, such as Westbrook, might rush over to block Nash's shot." But with Wen Hao's speed, it was impossible to cover it at all, but at that moment, his strange speed suddenly accelerated, and he instantly pounced to cover Nash, which was also too weird. ”

"It reminds me of the shot just now, in fact, the ball just now was not blocked because he was too close to Nash, but at that moment his speed was really perverted, and he actually had a fight with Westbrook. This...... This is so counterintuitive. ”

At this time, the Rockets attacked, Wen Hao took the ball, he did not rush to attack quickly, but slowly dribbled. The most important thing for the Rockets right now is not scoring, but time-consuming.

Eventually, when there were only six seconds left, he suddenly started and stepped into the interior with one step over Nash. Seeing that Gasol was about to defend himself, he received the ball behind his back.

Nico? Yang thought that Wen Hao was going to pass to Parsons, who cut in from the left side, and was busy cutting off the pass. But at this time, Wen Hao received the ball from behind him but poked it out again and hit Da Yao from Gasol's crotch. Da Yao catches the ball and naturally bursts the buckle. The Rockets lead by eight points. Morality? Anthony hurriedly asked for a timeout.

Wen Hao returned to the Rockets' rest area, and all the Rockets players were pleasantly surprised. Unexpectedly, he didn't defend for most of the quarter, and Nash almost let Nash catch up with the score. In the last two minutes, Wen Hao suddenly came to the ground and blocked Nash twice, allowing the Rockets to stretch the gap to 8 points again in one fell swoop. It was a pleasant surprise.

Howard rubbed Wen Hao's head and said, "Good boy, these two balls are cool, they have my style." ”

"Cut, what has your style, that's obviously to learn my cap." Jones also said.

"One minute, eight points ahead, we've already secured the win," Cosby said, "Looking back now, Wen Hao said that he had found a way to beat the Lakers, and that he had found the Lakers' weaknesses, and it was Nash." Could it be that he predicted that he would block Nash then? ”

"No kidding, he's not God," Lin said, "but he's so good that he can go back and block Nash in an instant, and he's too fast." ”

Wen Hao naturally couldn't tell Jeremy Lin that he had opened the Unsolved Breakthrough at that moment, and his speed had increased to the extreme, so he could have time to block Nash.

McHale, as head coach, didn't dwell on these physical issues, and he asked Wen Hao: "I wonder how you can think that Nash is a weakness, and we can beat the Lakers with that?" Did you really expect you to be able to block Nash at the last minute? ”

Wen Hao shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Coach, in fact, I didn't tell the truth. From the very beginning when I started letting go of Nash to wrap up Kobe Bryant, Nash made an open shot and I knew I had a chance to block him. ”

"Oh?" McHale was even more curious, "Then why don't you block at that time, and wait until the last two minutes?" ”

"It's actually very simple, if I had blocked Nash at that time, Nash would have been prepared in the future, he would not have made another shot, he would have chosen to pass. Even if they don't choose to pass, the Lakers will find other ways to attack, so it's hard to predict what they'll come up with. When they come up with a new approach, we are very passive. So we might as well just let Nash make it easy, and the Lakers won't think of any other way. And in the last two minutes, I went to block Nash, which was even more abrupt. And at this time, the difference has been stretched to 8 points, and it is too late for them to think of other ways. Wen Hao explained with a casual smile.

The Rockets players didn't have much to say when they heard this, and they were no longer surprised by Wen Hao's shrewd brains. On the contrary, it was the head coach of the Lakers, McHale, and the assistant coaches, who were greatly impressed at this time: what kind of brain, they can think of this, simplify what could have been a very complicated game, and they still have the opportunity. This kid isn't a player at all, he's a schemer.

Wen Hao reminded the Rockets players at this time: "If theoretically speaking, we have reached this point, we are very close to victory." But the Lakers are different, they have Kobe. I don't need to say much about Kobe's personal ability, in short, we must be careful to watch out for Kobe Bryant now, and we must not let him catch up with the score. ”

When the Rocket players heard Wen Hao's words, their hearts sank, and their expressions became solemn again. Obviously, many players have suffered from Kobe's loss.

McHale saw Wen Hao reminding the Rockets players, and nodded secretly in his heart: Wen Hao has become more and more like a leader unconsciously. This kid is really amazing.

But at the same time, McHale is also secretly worried: Wen Hao is like a leader, so why is Harden going? You must know that Harden came to the Rockets for the position of boss. Now that the championship has brought the two together, if the championship goal is lost, will the two still be able to play together?

……

Not to mention McHale's worries, just to talk about the Lakers, D'Antoni was frowning at this time, squinting at the Rockets' No. 5 in the distance, which was called a depression. The Lakers' efforts for most of the quarter were wiped out by the kid's two hats. (To be continued.) )
