Junior Basketball says

Chapter 333

Xu Hao's idea is very good, and McHale also acquiesced in his doing so, but in the second half, his first shot turned into a strike, and it was still in the situation that Sefolosha had given up defending, which made him feel a little stunned. .

Of course, this is not the first ball Xu Hao missed in this game. He hit the iron several times in the first half, but this time is different.The previous missed shot was due to the interference of Thunder players, but this time it was purely his own problem.

What made Xu Hao even more upset was that the basketball had already entered the frame, but it flew out after a lap in it, and was protected by Ibaka on the backcourt rebound.This seems to be a matter of luck, but Xu Hao knew that it was entirely because his hand feeling was not as good as in the first half. Logically, it would be difficult for him to miss such a shot without defensive pressure.

Fortunately, the Thunder's offense did not score. Jordan directly blocked Durant's mid-range shot, and the ball returned to the Timberwolves.The unbelieving Xu Hao changed his position to shoot. This time Sefolosha put some pressure on him. Although it had no effect on him, he shot again and the basketball was knocked out of the bottom line in the chaos.

Xu Hao looked at his hands in surprise and thought: Damn it!During the intermission, I didn't touch anything I shouldn't. Why did my luck suddenly smell like this?If this is still the case in the future, how to help the team equalize the score?Xu Hao decided to try again. He was confident in his shooting skills and wanted to confirm what the problem was.

After watching the replay, the referee awarded the ball to the Timberwolves, and Jordan went to the bottom line to kick off.Xu Hao went around the screen, received the ball in the corner, and made a blatant shot against Westbrook's defense, but it missed again.

Seeing this scene, Xu Hao frowned, this matter is very strange!He knew that almost all players would feel cold for no reason during the game, but he never thought it would happen to him.But it's pointless to worry about this now, he has to use other methods to continue his offensive firepower.

For him, the best way now is to hit the inside. If he still can't score the ball closer to the basket, then Xu Hao will do something that is very "shameful" in the eyes of many people. It's a foul.Of course, he doesn't mind a few extra [-]-pointers if the Thunder pounce on him for a layup.

The ball returned to the Timberwolves, Xu Hao dribbled the ball across the half court again, and Sefolosha followed him closely.Although Xu Hao has missed three consecutive shots since the start of the second half, he still dare not take it lightly.

Xu Hao glanced at him and easily broke into the three-point line with a simple change of rhythm.After testing for a game and a half, Xu Hao really felt that the Swiss, who is known as the league's top perimeter defender, was no big deal. If Sefolosha took the number of personal fouls into consideration, Xu Hao would not feel it was a big deal at all. pressure.

Sefolosha was also very helpless. He once restricted Xu Hao in the first half, but that was because he didn't have three fouls on his body like now.Now he has to carefully control the number of his fouls, so naturally he dare not continue to play close-up.

After breaking through Sefolosha, Xu Hao continued to accelerate without hesitation, and directly hit the basket, where Ibaka was waiting.He thought that Xu Hao was not giving himself face by rushing so straight, and he wanted to use blocking shots to teach this Chinese kid who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth.

Xu Hao almost guessed Ibaka's plan, his eyes flashed, and it seemed that it would be good to take advantage of the opponent's eagerness to block the shot.So Xu Hao plunged into Ibaka's arms as if he hadn't seen anything, and then turned around to take off and shoot.There was a grin on the corner of Ibaka's mouth, and he also took off to complete a block.

However, Ibaka's smile froze quickly. The expected scene of the basketball being shot by him did not appear. Instead, his hand came into close contact with Xu Hao's arm. What frightened him the most was that this The ball actually scored!
The moment the basketball fell into the basket, the referee also blew his whistle, and Ibaka raised his hand resentfully. There was nothing wrong with this call. How about opening the opponent's trap?

Seeing Ibaka's expression as if he had been eaten, Xu Hao endured a smile and stood at the free throw line to make an extra free throw. The difference between the two sides was only 1 point, and the Timberwolves could complete the overtake at any time.Xu Hao suddenly felt that it was very cool to do this, at least he could see that the other party couldn't understand him and couldn't kill him. After watching it a few times, he felt refreshed.

Next, every time Xu Hao attacked, it was like carrying a dynamite bag in his arms, and he rushed to the inside of the Thunder without hesitation. As long as the opponent tried to stop him, he would try to cause additional penalties, making the inside players of the Thunder start to doubt their lives.

As cunning as Collison is, it's not that he didn't think about Xu Hao's offensive foul, but Xu Hao can always be keenly aware of his traps, and then make a quick stop jump shot, or simply turn around and go around, making Collison want to find a chance There is no reason for flopping.Frustrated by his slippery movements, Collison had to abandon what seemed like a good idea.

Xu Hao's continuous impact on the inside forced Brooks to speed up the frequency of substitutions. He had to put some guys who usually didn't have much playing time on top of them, so as not to get four or five of the inside generals in his hand at the decisive moment. A personal foul, then their ability to protect the frame will be weakened, making the entire defense loopholes.

The Thunder's substitutions did not stop Xu Hao. He scored an astonishing 7 free throws in this quarter and made all of them. He scored 15 points in a single quarter, which made the Thunder's players feel ashamed. The Timberwolves also played against him. Under the impact, it took the lead 91 to 85.If Durant hadn't scored 4 points in a row at the last moment, the result would have been even uglier.

McHale couldn't be more satisfied with Xu Hao's performance in the third quarter.This guy didn't continue to shoot paranoidly when he had problems with his touch, but tried to score in the safest way. From the perspective of efficiency, he was no less than shooting outside the three-point line.More importantly, Xu Hao's continuous fouls successfully made the Thunder's insiders be wary. They subconsciously reduced the intensity of their defense, which also paved the way for the critical moment of the fourth quarter.
