196 Counterpoint Parker
Seeing that McHale seemed to be going to replace Harden and Warcraft, Wen Hao was a little anxious. After all, fools know that if they want to replace Harden now, it must be him Wen Hao. But playing against a top point guard like Parker has always been his dream, how can he be willing to end up like this.
Thinking of this, Wen Hao secretly gritted his teeth, now he can only conquer McHale with his strong performance, so that he can stay on the field.
In the next ball, when he received a pass from Jeremy Lin, he saw that Parker was a little lax in his defense, and he suddenly stopped for a jump shot.
"Hmmm-" There was no room for manoeuvre, and the basketball was hollow hit.
Turning around, Parker went straight to the front court after receiving the ball at a blistering speed, and made a layup before everyone on the Rockets came to their senses.
Wen Hao took the serve and dribbled to the front court, seeing that Parker's return defense was not yet in place, it was another emergency stop.
Seeing this, Parker hurriedly pounced on Wen Hao. I have to say that the speed of the French sports car is really not covered, and ordinary players can't cover Wen Hao at all in such a situation, but Parker made a full save, and after jumping, he was able to seal Wen Hao's shooting angle.
However, there was a mistake in his judgment. Wen Hao didn't jump up, but just made a fake action of a stop-and-go jump shot, when Parker was tricked into jumping up, Wen Hao suddenly hit the ground, the ball bounced at Parker's feet, and came to the inside line Da Yao, Da Yao was caught and hit easily.
On the sidelines, McHale, who was originally going to change Wen Hao's exit, saw this and temporarily dispelled the idea of changing Wen Hao's exit.
What he means is that if Wen Hao performs better, he can rest at ease, and Harden can also rest on the sidelines for a while, which will be of great benefit to the rest of the game.
And ** Vicky was a little anxious at this time, originally wanted to use Parker's sharp breakthrough to temporarily tie with the Rockets. But as things stand, if it continues like this, it won't take more than two minutes, and Parker won't be able to hold it up. If Parker can't support it before going to Duncan, then Duncan will be one person against the Rockets.
Vicky has never been a muddy man, and he made a quick decision to replace Duncan.
Duncan's replacement really worked wonders. On the first shot after coming on the court, when Parker was attacking, Duncan mentioned the three-point line, made a cover for Parker, and blocked Wen Hao, who was defending Parker, to one side. Then when Da Yao on the inside came up to make up for Parker, he suddenly went down and received Parker's pass in the air, and there was a violent dunk.
And in the next ball, after he and Duncan played a block and pick-and-roll, he hit a jump shot. On the Rockets' side, although the shooting rate is not low, it is much less efficient than the Spurs. Three minutes later, the score was already four points higher.
On the sidelines, Rockets head coach McHale's brow furrowed again.
In the live broadcast room, Ke Fan shook his head again and again: "Parker and Duncan's blocking and dismantling are too powerful, even Harden and Warcraft can't prevent it, Wen Hao and Da Yao are naturally a little difficult." ”
"Indeed, in recent years, under the tutelage of ** Vic, although the Spurs have many tactics, they are generally based on blocking and pick-and-roll. And their blocking and dismantling are varied, unpredictable, and unpredictable. In the playoffs, they are rarely guarded, let alone the Rockets, who are not very defensive in the first place. Yang Yi said.
"Now that the Spurs have put Duncan and Parker on the court at the same time, the Rockets are in trouble. McHale also realized this, it seems that he is going to exchange Wen Hao and Da Yao for Harden and Warcraft, although Harden's defense is not good, but compared to Wen Hao, it is still a little better. ”
……
Sure enough, after a dead ball, McHale replaced Harden and Warcraft on the court, replacing Wen Hao and Da Yao.
After Harden got on the court, sure enough, the Rockets' offense improved, and Harden continued to cause fouls in addition to his own breakaways and jump shots. They led the Rockets and Spurs to a hard-fought first half, with halftime at halftime to a 53-all draw. Harden scored 18 points in the first half, the highest of all on either side. When he walked towards the players' tunnel, he seemed to glance at Wen Hao intentionally or unintentionally.
In the live broadcast room of Xinlang, Yang Yi said with some regret: "In the first half today, Da Yao got 10 points and 5 rebounds, and Wen Hao got 6 points and 4 assists, although they all seem to be playing normally, but they are worse than Harden's 18 points." It's no wonder that after they were substituted in the eighth minute of the second quarter, they didn't play more than half a minute in the final minutes. ”
McHale originally seemed to be a little prejudiced against the yellow race, although his views changed a while ago because of Wen Hao's outstanding performance, but the so-called frozen three feet is not a cold, and it is difficult for him to completely change his thinking, so Wen Hao still can't get the full trust of the head coach. His Jeremy Lin was pretty much the same last season. Ke Fan said.
If you want to change this situation, you can only let Wen Hao break out several times in a row like before. However, with the full trust of the manager, such an outburst is unavoidable. ”
Therefore, there are already many fans in China who have proposed that if the Rockets do not change the coach, then Wen Hao will change the team. There is no way out of Team Rocket. ”
At this time, the third quarter of the game has begun, Wen Hao and Da Yao naturally sit on the sidelines and watch the modern combination battle GDP, but they can only watch dryly.
Wen Hao bit his lip and looked at the field with depression in his eyes, although he was unwilling, he had nothing to do.
Da Yao next to him looked at Wen Hao and seemed to see through Wen Hao's thoughts. He smiled slightly and said to Wen Hao, "Wen Hao, pay attention to them." ”
Wen Hao was stunned for a moment, looked at Da Yao, and then turned his head to look at the field with Da Yao's gaze. On the court, Parker and Duncan were constantly attacking the Rockets' defense with their skillful pick-and-rolls. Although Team Rocket is covered with monsters, it seems that he is already a little powerless to defend alone. Not to mention Harden, who brings out the essence of eye defense to the fullest.
"See what?"
Wen Hao had this question in his heart, but before he could ask, he suddenly understood: "You mean, let me see their blocking?" ”
"That's right," Da Yao said with a smile, "the two of us are blocking and dismantling, and the two of them are also blocking and dismantling." Can't we learn something from their pick-and-rolls? ”
"Really!" Wen Hao finally understood, "They have been fighting for so many years, and their experience is unmatched, if we can learn some of the essence of blocking and dismantling from them and use it on ourselves, then our blocking and dismantling will be very powerful?" Even if we can't defend against them, we can use the block to attack them! ”
