"Ariza, you can't shoot?!"

"Harden, you shit! Vote! ”

In 2018, the audience scolded the scene of the West Finals.

The two sides are the Rockets and the defending champion Golden State Warriors.

The Rockets had the best record in the league this season, and their "magic ball theory" swept the league during the regular season.

However, they are now on the underdog, already trailing the Warriors by as many as 13 points!

It was the fourth quarter, and there were only eight minutes left for them.

The root cause of this desperate situation, which has home court advantage, is due to the fact that Chris Paul, one of the team's duos, was injured in the fifth game of the series due to a hamstring injury in the season.

Without Paul, the Rockets were in dire straits, and to make matters worse, they felt cold tonight.

From the third quarter onwards, they made frequent shots from the three-point line, but without exception, they all smashed out of the frame!

They were still leading at halftime, but the Warriors went on a 33-15 lead in the third quarter, and the situation turned around in an instant!

At this time, Ariza of the Rockets got an open spot, and he took another three-point shot after receiving a pass from Harden.

"Phew!"

Or smash the frame out!

"Smack!"

Mike D'Antoni, the head coach of the Rockets, has a slap on the head.

The Rockets have missed 15 consecutive three-pointers in the second half!

Despair!

Even more desperate was to come, as the Warriors advanced to the frontcourt, and Curry threw his hands and shot a meter away from the three-point line.

"Huh!"

Hand up and knife down!

Curry raised his hands in celebration, and the margin had reached 16 points!

Team Rocket, it's stopped!

……

"Who? Who's going to throw that damn three-pointer in the basket?! ”

Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni banged his hands on the tactical board and yelled in a hoarse voice.

He really couldn't understand why his proud group of goalscorers would play so badly in the most crucial of games.

The core of the team, James Harden, shot 1 of 12 three-pointers, Sixth Man Eric Gordon shot 1 of 11, and the team's top 3D Trevo Ariza shot 0 of 9!

Magic BallMagic Ball refers to abandoning inefficient mid-range and scoring through high-percentage under-the-basket offense and high-efficiency three-point shooting.

But now they can't shoot from the outside, and the Warriors can't break through from the inside, it's not a magic ball, it's a curse!

Quiescence.

Apart from the cacophony of surrounding fans, no one responded.

In the face of D'Antoni's roar, the players all chose to remain silent.

Even Harden, who is the core of the team, turned his head to avoid D'Antoni's sharp gaze at this time.

Not to mention throwing in now, they don't even have the courage to shoot!

In the tie-break, the hand felt cold, and he was 16 points behind, which is not a psychological pressure that ordinary people can bear.

"Coach, let me try!"

At this moment, a young but firm voice seemed particularly clear at this moment.

D'Antoni looked up in the direction of the voice, and then saw the owner of the voice.

Su Hao, the bench fringe man of the Rockets, the water dispenser in the water cooler.

A 2.06-meter-tall Asian small forward, with hard work and feelings, he stayed on the Rockets.

He has a nickname "mascot" for the Rockets, and as the name suggests, he only gets a chance to play when the team is playing garbage time.

There is a saying among Rockets fans that the mascot is on the scene, and the fans are leaving.

is also because of his nickname, Su Hao's situation is not ordinarily miserable.

Not only the fans here in the United States ridiculed him, but even there are a large number of his black fans in China.

"Hurry up and get back, why are you embarrassed abroad if you don't dominate at home!"

"Look at how majestic Da Yao was in the Rockets, and then look at you, the face of Huaxia basketball has made you lose everything!"

"Why do you think Team Rocket keeps you, it's all for the market! You're nothing! ”

……

If it weren't for Paul's injury and his good performance in training recently, Su Hao wouldn't have been able to enter the activation list!

But even if he enters the activation list, for D'Antoni, who has always only liked the rotation of eight or nine people, Su Hao is still on the bench.

The two looked at each other, and D'Antoni felt a strong sense of courage and confidence in the latter's eyes.

"Toot!"

At this moment, when the timeout was up, D'Antoni withdrew his gaze from Su Hao's body.

Although Su Hao has courage, courage is nothing in the face of strength!

But at this moment, another name suddenly flashed in his mind, Jeremy Lin.

D'Antoni made a bold decision.

……

After the timeout, the Rockets made substitution adjustments.

Su Hao, replaced Ariza on the field!

"The mascot is on stage."

"Now we can declare that tonight's winner is the Golden State Warriors, who are six minutes away from reaching the Finals again!"

In the commentary seat, well-known NBA commentator Charles Barkley smashed his big mouth and laughed.

With 6 minutes to go and a 16-point lead, even if the Rockets are given a Michael Jordan, they can't be reversed!

Inside the Toyota Center, the eyes of Rockets fans are full of despair.

The mascot is on the field, and they can leave the game?

Their butts have an infinite desire to get off the bench beneath them.

At this time, the fans in China were already scolding.

"Why don't D'Antoni try it for Gerard Green! Isn't changing Su Hao tantamount to admitting defeat! ”

"Garbage Su Hao, when I see you, I know that the game is over!"

"Ma Dan, as a Chinese, I feel that I have never lost such a face in my eight lives!"

……

The timeout came back, and the Rockets attacked.

Harden continued to break through with the ball, and the Warriors continued to shrink their defense.

Harden distributed the ball to the bottom corner of the weak side, which was originally Ariza's tactical position, and it was Su Hao standing there at this moment!

Unlike most domestic forwards, Su Hao entered the NBA through the NCAA, and his technical characteristics are the same as Ariza's, which are 3D types.

With hard training and the Rockets' scientific way of training, his three-point score is not bad at all.

It's just that limited by the physical fitness of the yellow race, coupled with the discriminated "yellow whistle", his defense can't play in the NBA, and naturally he has no chance to play.

However, Su Hao also has a very high-quality personality trait: self-confidence!

This made him fearless in the face of Kuroko, and also allowed him to make a decisive shot after receiving the ball.

With this shot, the hearts of the audience suddenly tightened.

Will this be the first three-pointer the Rockets will make in the second half?

Or is it the 16th in a row?

"Huh!"

There was a crisp sound of entering the network.

After the basketball crosses a perfect parabola in the air, it falls into the bag!

Su Hao's three points were thrown!

The Rockets' first three-pointer of the second half tonight!

The Toyota Center was instantly in a state of boiling.

A thirst-quenching three-pointer!

"Is this going out and stepping on shit?"

"It's just a dribble balloon, and I can throw that kind of empty ball if I change it!"

"That's it, Su Hao only scored in garbage time, look at it, he will definitely not score the next goal, and I will eat Xiang live when he enters!"

……

The sunspots reappeared at this time, and Brother Xiang also appeared on the spot.

And they are about to climax soon, because of the switch between offense and defense, when Curry received the ball, he was misplaced against Su Hao!

"It's over, Su Hao is a defensive black hole, this three points will be given away for nothing, which is equivalent to no score!"

"What are you doing if Su Hao doesn't foul yet! You don't think you can really guard against Curry, do you?! ”

……

Su Hao clinged to Curry, he knew that Curry was very good at three points, and it was okay to be passed, and he knew very well the Rockets' ability to assist in defense.

His idea was right, but Curry chose to change direction and pull back after breaking through, and he was shaken off directly because he was too far forward!

The sunspots orgasm, but the next second they came to an abrupt end.

Because at the moment when Curry made a three-point shot, Su Hao, who had been shaken away, actually pounced again and interfered with Curry's shot!

Full of hard work and enthusiasm!

The ball was suspected of violating the shooting cylinder, and the referee must have blown it when it was changed.

However, the referee did not blow the whistle this time, first, this is the home court of the Rockets, and second, it was Curry who was violated, and there was no man with a shooting cylinder!

"Phew!"

Curry's three-pointer smashed out of the frame!

Su Hao, the misplaced defense has succeeded!

The ball was a long rebound that fell directly into the hands of Harden, who turned around and played a fast break.

Su Hao rushed to the side.

On the Warriors' side, only Curry had time to step back.

In the frontcourt, Harden quickly distributed the ball to Su Hao after attracting Curry's attention.

Su Hao continued to show confidence, holding the ball with both hands and soaring into the air.

Curry saw that it was too late to turn around and run away.

"Bang!"

Su Hao's fast attack of both hands is violently buckled!

After landing on the ground, Su Hao was very excited, he clenched his hands into fists, his arms were raised, and he roared at Curry.

Years of bench experience have really made him hold back for too long!

"Ding! Host No. 10086 is detected to be full of confident energy, the packaging system is activated, is the heads-up mode enabled? ”

At this moment, a sentence popped into his mind.
