204 One Pick Three
During the period when the team was negotiating and completing the transaction, the Timberwolves had a record of 3 wins and 3 losses, which is considered good for them. If they continue to keep the winning percentage at [-]%, they should enter the playoffs. Not a big deal.

But then they have to face the Warriors, a very strange team.In a way, the Warriors and Timberwolves have a similar style, but they are more extreme on the court, because not just any team has the courage to put three guards in the starting lineup, especially in their In essence, there are no reliable inside players.

What's even worse for the Timberwolves is that this is a back-to-back game. The night before, they were beaten by the Trail Blazers and suffered a 23-point defeat. This was huge for the players' bodies and psychology. hit.And after the game, they flew from Portland to Oakland overnight to prepare for the game against the Warriors. This is simply a nightmare.

Of course Xu Hao knew what kind of team the Warriors were. He had already played against the opponent in the system when he was sleeping on the plane. Both Linton and Gomez can't help much. They still need to face the opponent's ace player, Stephen Jackson, who is called Wusheng by Chinese fans.

This is not a good combat experience. Although Love is like a fish in water on the inside, Xu Hao is under siege on the outside.Although he was also the focus of the opponent's defense in college, he has never experienced one-on-three. Both offense and defense are a headache. Xu Hao has secretly complained about the starting lineup of the Warriors a hundred times. .

However, there are some things that you don't need to face if you don't hate them, unless Xu Hao can pretend to be sick to avoid the game, but this is not his style.The three guards are the three guards. As the commander of the Timberwolves, he must go up.

For this reason, Xu Hao spent the whole morning on the bed directly after checking into the hotel. He needed to hurry up and take a good rest, so that he could have enough physical strength to deal with the Warriors' incredible lineup at the beginning of the game.

Of course, McHale also knows how powerful the Warriors are. The opponent simply has the upper hand when facing a team like the Timberwolves whose average height is not enough. The only thing he can pray for is that their shooting percentage drops due to the cold weather.This also makes McHale even more looking forward to Jordan, who is undergoing a physical examination in Minnesota. The Timberwolves really need a reliable frame protector.

But in this game, Jordan can't help, McHale needs to use other methods to contain the Warriors' three guards.Judging from the current Timberwolves lineup, what he can do is to ask Ellington to help Xu Hao more, and Brewer is going to deal with Jackson, and he may not be able to settle the opponent.Let him take care of the Warriors' three guards again, it is better to let him go one-on-one with James.

In the locker room before the game, McHale pulled Xu Hao aside and asked in a low voice: "You are the key to this game, Chris, I want to know if you are sure, if not, I will consider making more Lots of people are here to help you."

Xu Hao was silent for a long time, then smiled and said: "I don't know, but I will do my best, it's enough if Wayne can help me, other people have their own things to do, and they may also help It's nothing to do, just leave it to me!"

He didn't speak loudly, but McHale could hear determination and pride from inside. This rookie seemed to really want to rely on his own strength to withstand the alternating attacks of the opponent's three defenders, but he felt that he needed Ai Ling Just a pause.

McHale looked at him like he was looking at his former teammate "Big Bird" Bird. He patted Xu Hao on the shoulder and said softly: "Go ahead, kid, I believe you. Besides, this is just the beginning of the season. Don't worry." Too much pressure and everything will be fine.”

Xu Hao nodded, returned to his position and began to wear various equipment, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist pads. When he untied his shoelaces and tied them tightly again, his whole person looked like A sword drawn from its sheath.Isn’t the Warriors’ three-guard lineup strong?They are very strong, but Xu Hao is not someone who backs down just because his opponent is strong, he just wants to have a good fight!
When the Timberwolves team was ready, McHale opened the locker room door forcefully, clapped his hands and said loudly: "Boys, it's time to play. Go ahead and show your best performance. Give them some color and see!"

Everyone responded in unison, lined up neatly like an army, and trotted all the way to the sidelines.At this time, the auditorium of the arena was already crowded with people. The local Warriors fans in Oakland expressed their malice in various ways. For them, it didn't matter which team came here. Be good. Just stand there waiting to die.

In this campaign, McHale continued the previous lineup of one big and four small. Warriors coach Nelson Sr. is still the starter of the three-back formation. The first to fifth positions are Curry, Ellis, Azubuike, Jackson and Moore.In fact, it is understandable for the Warriors to put on such a crazy lineup. Old Nelson is not a well-behaved academic, he is also an offensive lunatic!

Moore failed to help the Warriors get the first wave of offensive ball in the jump ball, and Love gave the ball to Xu Hao before him.However, when Xu Hao received the ball, Curry, who had a baby face, rushed forward immediately, trying to complete the steal directly and play a fast-break counterattack.However, he didn't care. He is also a rookie this year. He is too strong in strength. After squeezing Curry away almost arbitrarily, he took the ball to the top of the arc, and Ellis and Ah Zubuk's double team.

Old Nelson knew very well that neither Ellis nor Azubuike could restrain Xu Hao, and double-teaming was the best choice.But Xu Hao left these two guys behind with a weird turn after shaking continuously. At this time, the Warriors' inside line was wide open. Respond into the basket.

This time the offense was very fast, and it was purely a manifestation of Xu Hao's personal skills. Along the way, he caught the ball, broke through, turned around, broke through again, and hit the shot without any hesitation. Behind him were the three starting guards of the Warriors , The line of defense formed by them was pierced in an instant. This was something that even Old Nelson didn't expect. He was stunned standing on the sidelines.

Xu Hao watched the basketball fall into the basket and ran towards his own half. Maybe the three guards are not as strong as imagined...
