When Wen Hao got the ten-day contract extension from general manager Morey, he couldn't contain his excitement. This shows that he has been recognized by the rocket management in a short period of time. Although the manager didn't care too much about himself, he still won the ten-day contract extension through his excellent performance in the last game. Next, I have to work harder to get a long-term contract. In that case, you don't have to worry about food money anymore.

After two seasons in the NBA, he's almost penniless by now, and if the Rockets hadn't paid him for the previous ten days' salary this morning, I'm afraid he would have gone outside to wash the dishes.

Now that he got the contract, Wen Hao's excitement was uncontrollable and he came to the training hall early. Although he had completed today's training task last night, and training again could not make his physique a little stronger than last night, he did not relax. Looking at the NBA, which big name is not training hard again and again, one minute on the stage, and ten years off the stage. The most famous Kobe, the night view of Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning, is the best example.

During training, No. 11 saw Wen Hao and laughed: "I said earlier, you will definitely stay." ”

Harden Sparks and others also greeted Wen Hao, but they were not as enthusiastic as No. 11. After all, Wen Hao only renewed his contract for 10 days, and it is still unknown whether he can stay in the rocket in the end.

A day later, on November 28, the Rockets played the Hornets game at the Toyota Center.

This game was broadcast live on the ** network in Chinese mainland. The host is Ke Fan, who is very familiar to Chinese fans, and the guest commentator is Ma Jianma, a coach from a player.

Ke Fan said an opening sentence first, and then asked a question with a smile: "In addition to paying attention to the wins and losses of the Rockets in this game, what else should we pay attention to, please guide Ma to talk about it." ”

Ma Jian glanced at Ke Fan and said with a smile: "You kid is too bad, you push the problem to me every time." Then he said: "In this game, in addition to paying attention to the victory and defeat of the Rockets, what we are most concerned about is naturally the performance of the Chinese team No. 11." It's been a while since he returned to the NBA, and it didn't go well at first, but now he's finally showing some signs of recovering to the level, which should be the most important concern for Chinese fans. ”

Ke Fan nodded and said, "That's true, No. 11 is China's hope." Although he is a bit older for a basketball player now, he is the only one in China who is playing in the NBA, so we naturally have to pay attention to him. When he said this, Ke Fan hesitated slightly, and Wen Hao's shadow flashed in his mind, but in the end he still didn't say it. He is talking about the ball, and he can only say what the fans love to hear, and basically no one will care about Wen Hao's affairs.

At the Toyota Center, home of the Rockets, Wen Hao came to the court early to warm up, and then sat quietly on the bench to watch the game, looking forward to having a chance to play today.

When the game reached the second quarter and No. 11 had already come off the bench, Wen Hao's heart was slightly sour. When will I be like No. 11, I will have a fixed ten minutes of playing time per game?

In this game, the Rockets and Hornets played quite fiercely, and the first half ended with the two sides tied at 66. Harden played twenty minutes and went down to rest, and the other four minutes were played by the Rockets' second backup point guard. Originally, Brewer, the first backup, was supposed to play during this time, but Brewer suffered an ankle sprain and had to rest for two weeks, so he had to use the second backup point guard. But in those four minutes, he achieved nothing, except for a single error.

With four minutes left in the third quarter, the Rockets had a three-point lead, and Harden, Howard, and Jeremy Lin were all out of the game, and they needed to reserve enough energy for the final quarter.

Head coach McHale once again swept his gaze to the bench, and he hesitated. The performance of the second backup point guard just now was really a bit unsatisfactory. Now that the Rockets are barely leading by three points, he can't let those three points go to that kid's hands. But don't let that kid go, but there is no one anymore.

Harden saw the head coach's hesitant expression and understood. He leaned back in his chair, wiped his face with a towel, and said, "Boss, I think, it's better to let Wen go up and try it, maybe it will work." ”

"Wen?" McHale didn't nod, and Wen wasn't on his radar at all. In his opinion, Wen is a person who will leave the rocket in nine days.

Howard, who was talking and laughing with his teammates on the side, also saw the coach's hesitation at this time, he suppressed his childlike smile and said: "Boss, let him try, anyway, no one is available now, it doesn't matter if you try." ”

The two biggest players on the team suggested to McHale at the same time, and McHale finally wavered. His eyes fell on Wen Hao's face, and he saw that Wen Hao was already looking at him. He was slightly stunned, and then said, "Okay, you go next." You don't want to score, you just need to be able to pass the ball and don't make mistakes. ”

This requirement could not be lower, and for a player, it is definitely insulting. But at this time, Wen Hao did not have the qualifications to resist, and it was very likely that as long as he said one more word, he would be pressed on the bench again. The opportunity to play is to him like a man in the desert is to water, so precious that it can't be more precious, and he can't just waste it.

He got up from the bench and stepped onto the pitch under the envious gaze of the other 10,000-year-old substitutes.

In the center of the floor, the fiery red rocket logo was particularly eye-catching, stimulating Wen Hao's eyes and stimulating his heart. Finally being able to play again, I have to take my chance and prove myself. Prove that I'm not a bully, that I can play, and that I play well.

Opposite Wen Hao is the Hornets' backup point guard Hall, who is a rookie this year and is very active. He averaged 8.9 points and 3.4 assists per game, which is one of the best among rookies. When he saw that it was Wen Hao who was opposite him, he suddenly laughed evilly and said, "What? Sending such a character up, is there something wrong with the head coach of the Rockets? ”

Wen Hao didn't speak, just slowly ran towards the backfield. Seeing that Wen Hao didn't say a word, Hall followed behind Wen Hao's buttocks, grinned and said, "Don't speak?" I see, you're going to keep your mouth open and cry, right? Well, I'll let you get your wish and go home crying like a. ”

Wen Hao turned his head and glanced at Hall coldly, but still didn't speak. From a very early time when he started playing, he didn't like to talk big, what he liked was to hit the opponent with practical actions, and hit the opponent until he was depressed and had nothing to say, just like Blair in the last game.
