83 Prove yourself
After a halftime break, the third quarter of the game between the Rockets and the Jazz continued. Both sides are the main forces competing on the field, so there is nothing to do with Wen Hao and No. 11, they can only watch from the sidelines.
Although Wen Hao was out of breath just now, he has recovered after the adjustment of the midfield. It's not like he can't last even ten minutes of training every day. The reason why I was a little out of breath just now was just because I hadn't played for more than ten minutes in a row in the real arena before, and I was a little uncomfortable. Coupled with the fact that the energy plan arena is located on a plateau, oxygen is thin, which makes it even more difficult for him to breathe. Now after a period of rest, I feel much better. He sat on the sidelines and watched the game with peace of mind.
Wen Hao, his teammates, and the head coach, seeing the huge point difference of 23 points, coupled with the fact that the Jazz team is a weak team, thought that this game would be won smoothly. But they never expected that as soon as the third quarter came up, the Jazz team did not wave outside, but everyone rushed to the inside of the Rockets in waves as if they were dying. Lucas III, in particular, threw himself at Howard again and again, as if he were killing Red Eye. Although their chances of hitting in front of Howard are low, they will inevitably foul Howard when they charge Howard countless times like this. By the midway point of the third quarter, Howard had already committed four fouls. McHale had no choice but to replace Howard and let Asik come on. Asik's defense, while not very weak, was a level below Howard, and the Jazz seized the opportunity to keep attacking the Rockets' baskets, so that by the last three minutes of the third quarter, they had narrowed the gap to 13 points.
The Jazz's somewhat dreary home court is finally buzzing again. The beautiful cheerleaders are constantly jumping on the sidelines and waving their arms, agitating the fans. The fans shouted and waved whatever they could grab on. There are signs of recovery on the Devils' home turf.
"It's time for the Rockets to call a timeout, it's time for the rotation, and it's supposed to be the rest of the main players. But now McHale is faced with a dilemma. If he lets the main players off the court, the Rockets' bench is likely to be unable to stop the in-form Jazz players, and it is possible to be tied or even overtaken by the Jazz. But if they don't change their main team, they will have fitness problems in the fourth quarter, and the Rockets are likely to lose in the fourth quarter. It's up to McHale to choose. A commentator on the sidelines said.
"Then again, the Jazz adjusted after halftime and suddenly it was like a different team, and everyone was playing so hard, especially their point guard, Lucas III, as if they were not going to die. The main players of the Rockets can't withstand such an attack, and let the bench go up, isn't that tantamount to death? Another narrator said.
"That's no way around, I just hope that the Rockets bench can fight for some gas and don't let the Jazz equalize."
Sure enough, as the two commentators said, McHale saw that the difference was narrowed to 13 points, and hurriedly called a timeout. At the timeout, he substituted his main man, leaving Parsons alone. Replace all the main forces, McHale doesn't have that kind of courage yet, and keeping a Parsons can be reassuring.
Looking at the bench players around him, McHale yelled, "Your job is not to let them chase the score, at least not to let them chase under 10 points, understand?" ”
"Understood!" The Rockets bench roared in unison, but their roars were quickly drowned out by the noisy shouts of the fans.
McHale pulled Wen Hao over again and shouted in his ear: "Use your breakthroughs and assists to keep us ahead!" ”
Wen Hao's eyes lit up, he was waiting for such an opportunity. Although it is not yet the most critical moment, it is important for the rocket. And he is there to prove himself at such an important moment. Thinking of this, he said loudly to McHale: "Leave it to me, you can rest assured!" ”
McHale was slightly stunned when he heard Wen Hao's answer. This is not like the Wen Hao he is familiar with, in the past, Wen Hao, no matter what others said, his answer was basically "um", but today his answer was complacent, as if he was full of confidence, and he seemed to be a little overconfident.
No. 11 heard Wen Hao's answer, and saw the fleeting smug look on Wen Hao's always calm face, he frowned slightly. This is not the Wen Hao he knows, today's Wen Hao, there is really something wrong.
But now there is no time to dwell on these, and with the referee's signal, No. 11 and Wen Hao walked to the field together.
When the fans saw Wen Hao play again, the noisy shouts suddenly stopped, like a rushing flood being intercepted by a dam, and after a while, they continued to shout. Wen Hao looked at the audience, nodded with satisfaction, and said secretly in his heart: "This is like words." ”
In the live broadcast room of Xinlang.com, Ke Fan looked at the picture and said in surprise: "As soon as Wen Hao came on the field, the energy solution arena, known as the home of the devil, was immediately silent for two seconds. It seems that Wen Hao's first quarter of the first five still impressed them. Could this be the legendary aura? ”
"That's true, Wen Hao's time is over five, no matter who has seen it, it will be unforgettable for a lifetime. It can be said that Wen Hao's one-time pass scared Jazz fans, from the bottom of his heart. While they claim to be the toughest fans and can hit the away team in any way they can, and they can withstand any blow from the away team, they can't resist the fear in their hearts. Su Qun explained.
"It seems that Wen Hao will be remembered by all Jazz fans for a lifetime." Ke Fan said.
At the same time, on the meager salary, countless fans who were watching the live broadcast typed such words: "domineering", "Wen Hao is mighty", "The god of literature is coming, and the ghosts dodge......
Far away in Houston, in the office of the Toyota Center, Morey looked at No. 5 in the TV picture and said expectantly: "I'm looking forward to Wen's performance, I really hope he can prove his worth in this scene, our 8 million flowers are definitely worth it." ”
"That's what I thought, too. But this is not rushing, it is a slow process, and it is impossible for a former short-contract player to prove anything in one game, take your time," said Alexander, "Actually, I would also like to see if he can prove himself at this important moment, even if it is just to prevent the Jazz from catching up with the score." ”
In the two rented houses in Houston, the agent Yu Song and intern reporter Harper also kept their eyes glued to the TV, and their expectations coincided with Alexander's: Wen Hao, prove yourself, is now......
