On November 27, the game between the Rockets and the Bobcats was still held at the Toyota Center.

Prior to this game, the Rockets had lost five games in a row, including losses to weak teams like the Hornets, and their momentum had hit rock bottom. The whole of Houston seemed to be immersed in an atmosphere of solemnity.

The Bobcats, on the other hand, had a 10-2 record in November and recently won seven in a row. They made their way to Houston in a murderous way, determined to take a victory away from the Toyota Center.

The pre-game press conference, which head coach McHale attended with Harden. The reporters' questions ranged from "how do you win this one after losing five games in a row?" and "what do you think of the Bobcats' recent performance?" McHale and Harden also answered with some nourishing words on the court.

The reporters saw that they really couldn't ask anything, and gradually, fewer people asked questions. Half an hour later, not a single reporter had raised his hand. McHale was satisfied, ready to symbolically say "If no one asks questions, it's over" and turned to leave. But when he said this, in the far corner of the venue, a reporter with black-rimmed eyes who looked like an intern raised his hand.

Interns are not allowed to enter the press conference without a press card. But he borrowed a press card from a friend and got in.

McHale naturally didn't know that he had mixed in, and after frowning slightly, he raised his hand to signal that the intern could ask questions.

The intern stood up excitedly, looked around, and saw that there were no other reporters from his own newspaper, and then boldly said: "Coach, in the previous two games, Zhongwen's performance was very good, will you consider increasing his playing time in this game?" ”

When McHale heard this question, his originally casual gaze fell back on the intern's face, looked at it carefully, and finally recognized that this was the reporter who had been entangled in Wen Hao's questions at two consecutive press conferences, and questioned his own employment, his face suddenly turned a lot colder, and he looked at the intern coldly, and he didn't mean to answer at all.

The reporters around them saw that McHale was not kind to the intern, and they all turned their heads to look at the intern with confusion and ridicule.

Under so many eyes, the intern was a little embarrassed, but he still mustered up the courage and continued to ask, "Coach, can this question be answered?" Will Moon Hao increase playing time? ”

McHale's face was even colder, and he stared at the intern in an extremely cold tone: "No, I won't add playing time for him." ”

The intern was seen as a little timid by McHale, but he still asked one last question: "That is, he can still only play seven minutes in this game?" ”

"No, not a minute."

McHale's tone was stiff, and after throwing this sentence, he abruptly stood up, pushed his chair away, and walked towards the exit.

The intern stood there, feeling the disdainful gazes of the reporters around him, and he felt a little timid in his heart. However, this is not what disappointed and scared him the most, what he was most disappointed and scared of was that Wen Hao could not play.

A little more than an hour later, the Rockets' game against the Bobcats officially kicked off at the Toyota Center. The mouths of the two commentators are also busy.

One commentator said: "The Rockets have a good record this season, with 13 wins and 6 losses, while the Bobcats have a good record, but their overall strength is far inferior to the Rockets. Although they have won six in a row recently, these six teams are all weak teams, and four of the Rockets' five consecutive defeats are considered top teams, so I am still optimistic about the Rockets in this game. ”

"The Bobcats are playing fast-paced this season, and the Rockets are also fast-paced, but in comparison, the Rockets are faster than the Bobcats, and the Rockets have Warcraft on the inside, whether it is offensive or defensive, they are more efficient than the Bobcats. So in this game, I am also optimistic about the Rockets. ”

Head coach McHale heard the words of the two commentators, and his face, which had been cold, finally showed signs of melting. But before his face could completely melt, the two words of commentary froze it again.

"The strength of the Rockets' main team is certainly very strong, their bench is also good, China's No. 11 is hot and has secured the position of the first substitute. And their 10-day short-term contract player, No. 5 Wen Hao from China, has also been very good in both games, and I think McHale will definitely add playing time for him tonight. ”

"Even though he's slow and his style of play doesn't seem to be compatible with the Rockets' system, if he is used as a backup, it should make a big difference, and I think McHale should really consider putting him in the rotation."

Hearing these two sentences, McHale glared at the explanation hatefully: No. 5, No. 5, No. 5, Team Rockets is a No. 5? Everyone mentioned No. 5 to me, Morey wanted him to play, the reporter wanted him to play, and now even your commentators want him to play, are you all crazy? I've said a long time ago that his style of play is not suitable for rockets, but you still say it over and over again. Well, you want him to play, right, I won't let him play. Not only won't he be played tonight, but he won't want to play in the future!

Time is slow and fast, and in the blink of an eye, the game has come to the second half of the third quarter. At this time, the Rockets trailed the Bobcats by 5 points.

"I really didn't expect the Rockets to play so hard this game. Now that their main body has been consumed too much and they have to take a break, it is time for the substitutes to play. A narrator said.

"In other words, it's time for the Chinese pair to play, and it's time for the No. 5 to play, right?" Another commentator laughs.

There were a small number of fans on the sidelines, and at this time they also vaguely felt that it was time for the 5th to play. In the past two games, whenever the Rockets fell behind or the score was deadlocked, No. 5 would come up and use his miraculous assist to help the Rockets take the lead. And now, it's time when the number 5's passing ability is needed.

However, when the Rockets' bench lineup came on, fans didn't see No. 5 at all. This surprised them a little. However, they didn't care too much, after all, the number 5 is only a ten-day short-term contract player, and he has only performed a little bit in two games, and it is not worth keeping fans on his mind.

However, the commentators on the sidelines were very surprised, and they wondered why McHale did not field the No. 5 who had performed well in the first two games at this time. They looked at McHale with doubts, only to see McHale with his hands on his chest, looking at the field with a sneer on his lips.

Seeing McHale's sneer, both of them were stunned for a moment, and then they understood. They also know McHale very well, and this kind of sneer means that McHale is going to fight against everyone. Experts, journalists, and a small group of fans want No. 5 to play, and McHale won't let him play. He is such a stubborn and stubborn old man.

Morey, who was in the audience, also saw McHale's sneer, he shook his head and smiled helplessly at the boss Alexander next to him. Alexander also sighed, although he is the boss, he is in charge of the business, as for the team's affairs, it is left to the coach. He can't always interfere with the coach's decisions.

At this time, Wen Hao was sitting on the bench, his heart as cold as McHale's face. He knew he couldn't play today. No matter how good you are, you won't be recognized by the coach, who is simply biased against herself.

But he didn't sink because of this, he silently watched the field. He's patient. "Come suddenly without being surprised, and add without anger for no reason", the words of the 11th are still ringing in my ears. He will endure, he will hibernate, and before the opportunity comes, he will rein in all his edge. Once the time is ripe, the sword is unsheathed, and it is a blockbuster, and the Roc spreads its wings and soars into the sky......

At this time, the situation on the court changed abruptly, and the Rockets, who were only 5 points behind, were beaten by the opponent 5-0 after the main players left the game, and instantly fell behind by 10 points. The main players had to fight hard to get back on the court, but the Rockets were like a downhill truck, unable to pull it anyway, and with seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, they fell behind by as many as 15 points.

The entire Toyota Center fell silent, and the fans silently watched the weak footsteps of the main players, and they fell silent. Six in a row? Could it be that the Rockets are destined to taste the bitter fruit of six consecutive defeats? Harden is powerless, Howard has five fouls, Jeremy Lin is pressed to the bench, and the Rockets have tried all the moves, but they still seem to be on their way to collapse.

Mike Hale's face turned pale, and he called a timeout.

"Who would have thought that this game would play like this? The Rockets collapsed in the fourth quarter, and the Bobcats attacked aggressively and are now 15 points ahead of the Rockets. ”

"A six-game losing streak is already beckoning to the Rockets. What happened to Team Rocket? A team with a top player like Harden Howard is moving towards a six-game losing streak, what happened to the Rockets? ”

"Who can save the rocket? Who can save Houston? ”

In the course of two commentary questions, a third of the silent fans have already begun to leave the stadium. And the remaining two-thirds are full of pathos.

In the midst of sadness, a fan looked up and saw that the highlights of the first two games were being played on the big screen. In the picture, No. 5 hit the rebound with a pass that crossed the entire frontcourt, and the rebound fell into the hands of Parsons, who received the ball and dunked ......

Seeing this, the sad fan's eyes lit up slightly, and his gaze moved quickly from the big screen to No. 5 on the sidelines. I saw No. 5 sitting on the bench.

That's right, number 5, maybe number 5 can ......

Thinking of this, the fan tentatively opened his mouth and shouted: "i, want, wen." (Jean Wen plays)

The surrounding fans who were in grief were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes lit up: "i, want, wen."

Like a pebble falling on the surface of a calm lake, ripples ripple in circles. Moments later, hundreds of spectators shouted in unison: "we, want, wen!we, want, wen!we, want, wen......"

At this moment, McHale's face was difficult to see the extreme.
