Chapter 295 Doom Comes
With Sessions as the point guard, the pressure on Xu Hao is indeed less. He can hand the ball to the opponent's organization and constantly use the screen to run empty-handed. At most, he can help Sessions get rid of Conley when he comes to entangle him. .

But Allen still followed behind him lingeringly, no matter what the other Timberwolves players were doing, he only had Xu Hao in his eyes.Of course, his whereabouts are completely normal, but the head coach asked him not to let Xu Hao score.As the Grizzlies' most reliable perimeter defender, Allen only knows how to meticulously execute the tasks assigned to him by the coach.

Fortunately, Xu Hao has a lot of experience in empty-handed running. When he was in college, he often took possession of the ball alternately with Harden, switching freely between with the ball and without the ball.The way he gets rid of the defense is very simple, that is, keep running, keep running, and run until the defender who follows him feels sick to his stomach, and his teammates only need to provide him with a little cover that he can.

This time it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack again. While avoiding Conley, Sessions stumbled and brought the ball across the half court. At this time, Xu Hao had already slipped into the corner.This is the easiest to be ignored by opponents, and it is also the easiest to hit a three-pointer in theory. Of course, Xu Hao's shooting skills don't need to take advantage of this, he just wants to hide himself.

It's a pity that Allen appeared only half a meter away from him at the next moment. Xu Hao shook his head slightly and ran to the weak side along the baseline. During the period, Jordan under the basket helped him block Allen, which made Xu Hao Got to be in the other bottom corner.

Seeing Xu Hao running out of opportunities, Sessions shook his hands and passed the ball over, but his timing made Xu Hao frown.Sessions' pass cannot be said to be wrong, but he obviously misunderstood one thing, that is, his so-called opportunity may not exist after Xu Hao receives the ball.This is also true. When the ball flew into Xu Hao's hands, Allen, who was blocked by Jordan, also made a small turn and pounced over. The space for shooting was completely blocked by him.

If Xu Hao is asked to pass the ball, he will definitely pass the ball before the receiver reaches the position, so that his teammates can take action immediately after running into the position, and the defender can only do nothing.Passing the ball like Sessions is certainly safe, but it also makes the receiver lose the opportunity. It can basically be said to be a waste of Xu Hao's run.

But now is not the time to blame his teammates. Facing Allen's defense, Xu Hao did not pass the ball to his teammates, but chose to break through the baseline.He is indeed tired of Allen's candy-style defense, but he can't be said to be in awe of a tiger.

In fact, dribbling to the bottom line is not a good choice. It is easy for the ball holder to be compressed, and then accidentally step on the bottom line to give up the ball to the opponent.Xu Hao, however, is a bold man with high skills. He forced a breakthrough against Allen's thick body. Although the speed was very slow, he was always approaching the basket. Love and Jordan had already reached the elbow area.

Of course, the Grizzlies' inside man wouldn't be so stupid as to follow both of them out. The Timberwolves obviously wanted to open up enough space for Xu Hao. If two people guarded him at the same time, they would be fooled, so Gasol followed him out, leaving Xu Hao with him. Randolph guarded the basket.

Randolph is a big fat guy with about zero bounce. He is already a pure floor-flowing insider. His only purpose in staying under the basket is to block Xu Hao's path and try to force him out of the baseline, so that There is no need to challenge his shot.After all, Xu Hao's shooting percentage at the basket is close to 70%, and he is one of the guards who is best at scoring at the basket.

Looking at Randolph who was motionless under the basket, Xu Hao was going to dodge a little bit. Based on Randolph's experience, there is a high probability that he will be called an offensive foul if he directly rushes up. It is better to dodge a little.As soon as his heart moved, Xu Hao took a step forward, forming a relatively obvious angle with the basket, and it seemed that he was about to shoot.

Randolph didn't move, even if he moved at this time, he might be fouled, so he waited for Xu Hao to come to his door.However, Xu Hao obviously didn't intend to confront him at the basket, so he took three steps directly after flashing the angle, and handing the ball to his left hand was a jump hook.

Xu Hao's take-off height was not low. Randolph took one look and automatically moved out of the way. He knew that he basically could not interfere with the young defender.However, Allen behind Xu Hao did not give up. The only thing he learned in the Celtics was to never give up blocking the opponent's shot unless the basketball fell into the basket.

But this time, Allen was a little too active. His speed was already behind Xu Hao. He threw it out with his whole body, and stretched out his arms as much as possible to interfere with Xu Hao's shot.In fact, this is not the first time he has done so.

Xu Hao keenly sensed the danger behind him, but he was still in mid-air, so he couldn't take advantage of it at all, so he could only bite the bullet and make a move according to the original plan.As soon as the basketball left his fingertips, he felt a huge force coming from his back, knocking his whole body into the air.In the blink of an eye, Xu Hao didn't catch anything, and just fell down hard on the ground.

The moment he landed, he heard a soft "click", and then a sharp pain in his left ankle rushed straight to his forehead, and his forehead was instantly covered with bead-sized beads of sweat.Xu Hao was lying on the ground and roaring in a low voice, hugging the knee of his left leg tightly, trying hard to resist the excruciating pain.At the same time, his heart was also icy cold: This game is over!

Not only himself, but the entire Timberwolves team sank. McHale couldn't wait for the referee to call a timeout, and immediately asked the team doctor to check Xu Hao's condition.The team doctor hurriedly carried the medical kit and ran under the basketball hoop. After making a simple diagnosis, he shook his head at McHale with a heavy face, and at the same time motioned for two people to help.

At this time, the referee had suspended the game. Pekovic and Milicic on the bench ran over one after another, lifted Xu Hao up according to the team doctor's request, and followed the team doctor to disappear at the entrance of the player tunnel.McHale was willing to follow him to the locker room, but he was the head coach and had to control the situation here.After Ellington was replaced, his heart still couldn't calm down for a long time. No one expected that such a thing would happen before playing a few games in the season.

Judging from the team doctor's reaction, Xu Hao's injury this time was definitely not a minor one. Mike Haldon suddenly felt that the upcoming schedule was bleak.Without the team's point guard, who is sure that they can continue to lead the team to win the game?
