284 Can't stop Durant?
In the midst of everyone's surprised and even mocking gaze, Wen Hao confronted Durant.
Westbrook had just seen that Wen Hao had no chance in front of Durant, and immediately passed the ball to Durant. In his opinion, Wen Hao is completely looking for death.
Durant received the ball, there was no difficulty, and it was impossible for Wen Hao to stop Durant with tall arms from receiving the ball.
Rockets fans were disappointed when they saw this. How can this be prevented?
And when Thunder fans saw this, they were disdainful. The height difference is too obvious, and the little rocket man is simply looking for death.
Durant didn't think so much in his heart, all he thought about was hitting every shot, no matter who the opponent was.
But this time, when he was about to take off with the ball, he was surprised to find that if he picked up the ball, it would inevitably touch Wen Hao, so it was likely to drop the ball.
It turned out that at the moment when Durant just got the ball, Wen Hao took a step forward and got directly into Durant's arms, not giving Durant a chance to play the ball at all.
Durant had to take the ball and dribble backwards to open up space before shooting or penetrating. But Wen Hao immediately pounced again, still drilling into Durant's arms. In this way, as long as Durant dribbles, it is very likely to be cut off by Wen Hao.
So Durant had to keep retreating, and Wen Hao followed like that, and he didn't defend very hard. Anyway, as long as he gets into Durant's arms, Durant can't get off the ball and has no room to dribble.
When he was about to retreat to the halfway line, Durant had to pass the ball to Westbrook and let Westbrook play.
The moment Durant passed the ball out, everyone was stunned.
"Blocked ......," one Rockets fan cried out in disbelief.
"Am I wrong? He actually guarded the school bag? Another fan shouted.
"He has always been bad at defense, but he actually prevented Durant from scoring!"
"How is this possible?"
Not only did the Rockets fans not believe it, but the Thunder fans couldn't help it: "What are you kidding, how can Durant be prevented?" ”
"And he was guarded by a Chinese who was more than a head lower than him."
"How did Durant do it, and how could he be prevented by him?"
Thunder head coach Brooks stared, although he couldn't see any expression, his gaze had betrayed his mood at this time. What he didn't say in his mood was just those four words - unbelievable.
Durant has been in the league for so many years, and few people can defend him head-on, even James. But today, facing this small player of the Rocket team, he was so guarded, which is too strange.
Rockets head coach McHale was surprised, but also slightly relieved: it can be regarded as a defense.
Of course, not all Thunder fans think so, and there are always those diehards who scoff at Wen Hao's defense: "What kind of defense is it to defend once?" Definitely by chance. has the ability to prevent Durant from killing every time. Don't torture his kid. ”
At this time, Wei Shao saw that Durant could not attack, so he could only come by himself, he pretended to take two steps, and then suddenly stopped and jumped. Although his height is not as tall as Parsons, his starting height is definitely not low, coupled with a sudden stop, so Parsons could not keep up and was hit by him.
"Look, even if Durant is killed once, there is still Wei Shao. Thunder is not a vegetarian. "Thunder fans get excited.
"It's true, preventing Durant once is nothing, and there is Westbrook."
In the live broadcast room of Xinlang, Ke Fan also said: "The Thunder Shuangshao is really powerful, but you can't prevent one but the other, such a team can't play at all." ”
Yang Yi thought about it for a while before saying: "But after all, if you let Wei Shao come to jump shots, it is too small for me to threaten to let Durant jump shots." Durant's shooting percentage is so terrifying that he will be hit if he is not careful. And Wei Shao's hit rate is not too guaranteed and unstable. So this time alone, the Rockets' defense can be considered a success. As for Wei Shao's ability to shoot, it's that the Rockets are unlucky. It's just that we have to see if Wen Hao can still prevent Durant next time. ”
As he spoke, the Thunder attacked again, this time Durant took the ball from the backcourt. He thinks like this, since I can't open up space in the front court to break through and jump shots, then I just take the ball from the back court and rush all the way to the front court. As long as I rush up, Team 5 Rocket won't be able to stop me at all.
But his thoughts hadn't fully flashed, and after receiving the ball and turning around, he suddenly found that Wen Hao was already in front of him.
Durant was shocked and hurriedly took a step back. But Wen Hao had already taken the first step and got into his arms. With such a drill, it will be difficult for Durant to dribble again, and he will not be able to retreat. If you retreat, you'll be out of bounds.
In desperation, he had to pass the ball to Ibaka.
Wei Shao, who had already run to the frontcourt, had to come back to meet the ball at this time, and Ibaka passed the ball to Wei Shao, and the Thunder fans were relieved.
After Wei Shao dribbled to the frontcourt, he did not rush to attack, but waited for Durant to come back. Although he hit the jump shot just now, his own feeling was not very good, so he didn't dare to jump rashly.
When he saw Durant return to the frontcourt, Wei Shao immediately passed the ball to Durant.
Durant still got the ball unhindered, and Wen Hao couldn't stop him from receiving the ball at all.
But it's one thing to be able to catch the ball, it's another thing to be able to attack.
When Durant got the ball, Wen Hao once again started his drill-like defense, relying on the advantage of being short (when did shortness become an advantage?). ), burrowed into Durant's arms, making it impossible for Durant to dribble at all.
In desperation, Durant had to pass the ball out again.
Wei Shao received the ball and had to attack by himself. Another jumper, and sure enough, his jump shot was not very big, and this shot missed.
But Ibaka desperately grabbed a frontcourt rebound, and he wanted to pass the ball to Durant, but seeing Wen Hao in front of Durant, thinking of Wen Hao's restriction on Durant just now, he immediately turned around and passed the ball to Wei Shao. Wei Shao didn't dare to jump again this time, but broke through decisively.
After he got the ball, he passed Parsons in one step and entered the interior of the Rockets.
But Da Yao was already waiting for him on the inside, and he had to pass the ball back to Ibaka. Ibaka made a jumper close to the three-point line, but naturally missed the shot. The Rockets' Da Yao grabbed the rebound and threw it to Harden, who counterattacked the fast break, which was another classic European step performance and a layup.
At this point, everyone was surprised again.
Rockets fans are better, after all, they already know that Wen Hao can defend against Durant through the defense just now. And Thunder fans were shocked. They originally stubbornly thought that Wen Hao's first defense against Durant was just a coincidence, and as long as Durant made a force, he would inevitably break through his defense. But I didn't expect that three consecutive offenses, this Durant was restricted to death by Wen Hao, how can you say this? It can't be a coincidence all three times, right?
But if this is the case, they really can't believe it. They couldn't believe that Durant could be prevented to death by such a person who wanted height, no height, no speed, no speed.
At this time, Coach Brooks, the coach of the Thunder, was also incredulous, that kid could actually prevent Durant? How is this possible? Although there have been many successful experiences in the league where small men defend against big men, Wen Hao's defensive method is one of them. But that kind of is when the small man is much lower than the big man, it can easily get into the arms of the big man. And although Wen Hao is also a lot lower than Durant, he has not been able to get into his arms to the extent that he can get into his arms, how can he prevent Durant from dying?
Coach Brooks has the intention of replacing Durant at this time, but this is a blow to Durant's confidence, and if Durant is kept on the court, he can also see how the point guard of the Rockets can use that method to prevent Durant. So he kept Durant on the court. He's going to let Durant find a solution on his own. He believes that a player like Durant will inevitably find a solution.
But two minutes later, he had to abandon that approach and take advantage of a dead-ball opportunity to substitute Durant off the court.
Because Durant can't do anything under Wen Hao's defense.
Durant sat on the sidelines a little depressed, looking at the Rockets' No. 5, with a breath of anger in his heart. He knew that he could beat the point guard of the Rockets in a dozen ways, but he couldn't open up the space, and these methods couldn't be used at all, which was really annoying.
At this time, McHale was secretly happy when he saw that since Wen Hao defended Durant, he only allowed Durant to score 4 points in the first quarter. Through observation, he finally saw the trick of Wen Hao's defense.
Although Wen Hao's low level is not enough to get into Durant's arms, in defense, he only needs to stick his feet forward a little and bow his body a little more. With both feet forward, Durant is not good at dribbling, and with a bow of his body, he can completely get into Durant's arms.
Although this is a simple solution, the defensive habits of the players are developed over a long period of time, and it is very difficult to change them in the middle of a game. And Wen Hao can suddenly adopt such a defense in this game, he is really not simple.
At this time, the first quarter ended, and due to Wen Hao's defense of Durant, the Thunder only scored 28 points in the first quarter. Although it is not low, it is really a little low for the Rockets' 38 points.
After the Rockets were at rest, Durant looked at Wen Hao on the Rockets' bench, and anger rose in his heart. When he gets on the court in the second quarter, he must blow up this kid.
And Wen Hao also looked at Durant without giving in, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.
His smile made Durant even angrier, clenching his fists angrily. (To be continued.) )
