26 ratio (, with three minutes left in the first quarter, the Rockets, with Wen Hao's two consecutive scores and three assists, launched a wave of offense to narrow the point difference to 2 points, Corbin had to call
Timeout. But to be honest, he didn’t know how to arrange this timeout. The purpose of calling the timeout was just to interrupt the Rockets’ momentum. As the head coach, he clearly saw the situation on the court. The Rockets first passed the text
Hao made two breakthroughs to break the scoring drought, and then distributed the ball to the outside. After consecutive three-pointers from the outside, the Jazz had to expand their defense. As a result, Howard was liberated under the basket. The result was that there was no room for both inside and outside.
He can't focus on defense, and he can't guard it inside or outside. So the only thing he can do now is to hope in this timeout, hoping that it can interrupt the Rockets' momentum and make the Rockets lose their touch.
The two commentators were not idle during the timeout. One commentator said: "The Rockets' offensive wave was initiated by No. 5. It was precisely because No. 5 made two consecutive breakthroughs that the Jazz had to shift their defensive attention to him.
At this time, he suddenly passed the ball to help the Jazz open up the situation. I think this must be in McHale's plan."
"That's true. It must have been arranged by McHale. Ordinary players would never think of this. As a former player and current coach, McHale has a far better grasp of the situation on the field than Corbin. Because of this,
Corbyn always responds a little too late."
"McHale is indeed a great player and a great coach."
If these two commentators knew that this was not just McHale's confession, but Wen Hao's original intention to fight like this, I don't know what they would think.
During the break, No. 11 came over and handed Wen Hao a glass of water and said to Wen Hao: "I played very well just now."
Wen Hao took two sips, raised his head and said, "It's not enough."
"Look at these fans," No. 11 looked up at the 20,000 fans at the Energy Solutions Arena. "I have never seen them as quiet as before. Every time I came here before, even after the game, there was still something in my head.
It has always been filled with their shouting and cursing. They are the noisiest fans. If the game lasts for two and a half hours, they can shout for two and a half hours. But you did it, you made them quiet down. Now even if they shout again,
But the sound is much quieter than it was at the beginning.”
Wen Hao smiled and said, "I know you want to play in person. Believe me, you will have a chance."
…
After the timeout, the two sides continued to fight on the court with their main players. At this time, the score was close, and neither side was willing to give in. However, due to the momentum brought by Wen Hao just now, coupled with his reasonable passing, the Rockets had already won the game.
The fire started. When the outside shots were opened, Howard had more opportunities inside. And when Howard opened up, the Jazz's defensive focus had to be more focused on Howard. As a result, the bearded Harden had another chance.
, he seized the opportunity, broke through three times in a row, drew a foul once, and scored 8 points. In addition, Wen Hao made two breakthroughs himself, making the Jazz unstoppable. However, the Jazz's own offense was unstructured. They would have started from Wen Hao.
Hao used this defensive loophole to score points, but now Howard is always actively making up for defense, so that Lucas III can no longer score a point. The Rockets made another wave of attacks and overtook the score by 5 points in one fell swoop. Let the energy plan ball
The hall's screams were a little weaker.
Jazz coach Corbin shook his head helplessly. He has no choice now. His only hope is that when the Rockets rotate, the Jazz will not change the main players and let the main players face the Rockets' substitutes, hoping that this can recover the score.
In the last minute and a half of the first quarter, McHale took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to replace the main players. Of course, Wen Hao still stayed on the court. He was not the starter and only came on half way through the first quarter.
, his physical strength can still keep up. And his performance just now was very good, so there is no reason to replace him.
The Rockets' lineup on the court at this time is: Wen Hao, Garcia, Casspi, Asik and No. 11.
"McHale is experimenting with the old twin towers again. Last season, Howard and Asik's twin towers were not successful. This season, No. 11 returned, and he started experimenting with Asik and No. 11's twin towers again. I don't know.
What is going on in McHale's mind? When the whole world thinks that the Twin Towers are no longer suitable for the modern NBA, McHale is still walking all the way to the black and holding the Twin Towers flag. Is he crazy?" A commentator saw the Rockets coming on the court.
Said during the lineup.
"Maybe McHale has other ideas. The reason why the Rockets' twin towers were unsuccessful last season was because the attack range of Asik and Howard was too narrow. They both concentrated on the basket at the same time, and Harden had no room to break through.
.In this way, once the two of them feel bad, the Rockets will have no other firepower points. In addition, the slow movement speed of the twin towers will slow down the rhythm of the Rockets, so the twin towers will fail. But now they are testing the twin towers in the rotation lineup.
But it is possible to achieve a breakthrough. The attack range of No. 11 can be as wide as one step inside the three-point line, and even three-pointers can be shot, while Asik focuses on the basket, so that Wenhao has room to break through, and he can also
Pick and roll with No. 11 at any time. The offensive problem will be solved, and the advantage of the twin towers will be revealed on defense. As for the speed, there is no need to worry at all. The Rockets' substitutes originally played at a slow pace and used the twin towers to correct the situation.
It's in line with their rhythm. So I say, their twin towers will probably work today."
"Let's wait and see." Another commentator seemed a little disapproving.
The first ball was played by the Rockets. No. 11 originally planned to step forward to pick and roll with Wen Hao, but Wen Hao shook his head and said he could handle it.
No. 11 immediately pulled aside. He thought to himself: Wen Hao is getting more and more confident now. He could have easily penetrated the inside with a pick-and-roll, but he didn't want to pick-and-roll. I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for him.
At this time, Lucas III faced Wen Hao's attack. He lowered his center of gravity, opened his arms, and focused all his attention on Wen Hao. He had been passed by Wen Hao several times before, which was very important to him.
It was unbearable. In his heart, he looked down on this Chinese at all. How could he be passed by him again and again? Moreover, the head coach said that if he couldn't guard No. 5, he would go on the bench in the next game. Therefore, he had already
I made up my mind to guard against this hateful Chinese at all costs.
Thinking of this, Lucas III patted his chest and shouted to Wen Hao fiercely: "Come on, Chinaman!"
Wen Hao also lowered his body and kept changing the direction of his crotch. At the same time, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
