Chapter 342 The One-Man Show

"We can't go on like this anymore." During the intermission, Durant slapped the table in the locker room hard, and said in a low voice.Previously, he had only thought about winning the battle of Tianwangshan with the power of two consecutive victories in away games, but he did not expect to be disrupted by Xu Hao, and he fell behind by double digits at the end of the first half. This is absolutely intolerable.

Sefolosha pouted, he really wanted to guard against Xu Hao!But the facts proved that the possibility of achieving this goal should be about the same as the middle 500 million. Sefolosha felt that he was not so lucky, so it was naturally difficult to stop Xu Hao from scoring points.

Brooks on the side was still thinking hard. He knew that the Timberwolves were completely relying on Xu Hao's personal performance on the offensive end. As long as they could suppress him, the chances of the Thunder winning the game would be greatly improved.It doesn't matter even if they are behind by double digits now, isn't there still 24 minutes in the second half?That's enough.

Xu Hao's unfathomable physical ability has been known to the entire league. It is simply a dream to expect his shooting percentage to drop due to physical exhaustion in the second half. Brooks can only think of other ways.Hmm... Since even double-teaming doesn't work, why not try triple-teaming?Anyway, the other players of the Timberwolves were just playing for Xu Hao, and when the three of them double-teamed, they would definitely not leave him with a pass gap, wouldn't that mean they were blocked?
After making up his mind, Brooks coughed dryly and interrupted everyone's discussion: "I believe everyone knows that Xu Hao is the core of the outside line of the Timberwolves, and even the core of the entire tactical system. As long as we can block him, we will have a chance to win. .Of course, he was in great form tonight. To do this, we have to work harder, so I am going to adjust the starting lineup for the second half, and then you have to use three-teams to deal with him! "

What?Triple team?Several people's faces suddenly became less beautiful.Forget about double-teaming, why add another person?How can that guy "enjoy" such treatment?You must know that under normal circumstances, it is only necessary to double-team three people when facing the league's top stars, but Xu Hao is only a second-year rookie.

But thinking about his performance in the first half, these guys who were unhappy in their hearts became frustrated.Xu Hao scored 30 points and 5 assists in the halftime, but Xu Hao deserved them to show the most correct attitude. Three people double-team... It seems that it is not impossible.Although Xu Hao is not yet a league superstar, at least tonight at the Ford Center, he is the only protagonist.

In order to be able to double-team Xu Hao, Brooks took the initiative to reduce the average height of the team's starting lineup in the second half-he put up three guards in one breath, namely Westbrook, Sefolosha and Harden. The Swiss will play small forward.And Durant and Ibaka swing up in order, and they will support the Thunder's inside offense and defense.

When McHale saw the Thunder's starting lineup in the second half, his heart tightened, knowing that Xu Hao had been regarded as a thorn in the side of the opponent.Before the game started, he called Xu Hao aside and said solemnly: "Chris, you also saw that the Thunder sent three guards in one go, I guess they are going to double-team you If you really can't make it through, don't be brave, pass the ball to your teammates more, anyway, you are the one who ends the offense in the end, don't be too obsessed with possession of the ball."

Xu Hao's eyes narrowed, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's only interesting if it's this difficult! I've never tried three-teaming before, and since they have such courage, I don't want to let them down." '."

The Thunder's starting lineup also caused the audience to gasp one after another. This is a lineup that the Thunder has never used before. Could it be that Brooks is still preparing for a new lineup in such an important game?
Only those media reporters on the sidelines saw the doorway inside, and everyone looked at Xu Hao with complicated eyes.The strength of the Thunder this season should not be underestimated, and there has never been a player worthy of their three-teaming. Xu Hao is simply the first time in the world.From their point of view, Xu Hao was going to die in the second half. There were three of them!
Xu Hao soon felt the strong pressure. The encirclement of the three was indeed not as easy to break as the encirclement of the two, especially Westbrook and Sefolosha were both above-average defenders.Coupled with the fact that Harden is on the side to check for them and fill in the gaps, this encirclement can be said to be unbreakable.More importantly, as soon as Xu Hao brought the ball across the court, they immediately surrounded him, making it clear that they would not give Xu Hao any chance, and wanted to kill the threat in advance.

Just when the three thought they could force Xu Hao to make a mistake, Xu Hao's actions made them grow their mouths.He first turned around to protect the ball, and then pushed back hard to make room for himself. Before the Thunder trio had time to re-encircle, Xu Hao had already jumped high and made a kick without thinking. Don't look at the pass.

All the audience was shocked for a while. You must know that Xu Hao's back was facing the Thunder's basket, that is to say, he had no chance to see his teammates' running positions first, but he chose to pass the ball without hesitation, and it was really like precision guidance. The same was given to Ellington.Ellington was also a little confused, but he quickly sobered up and easily hit a three-pointer before Durant came to interfere.

Xu Hao's pass directly stunned the Thunder trio, but they didn't believe in evil, thinking that Xu Hao was lucky, and Harden, who had the best relationship with Xu Hao and even fought side by side, didn't believe it.However, in the next round, he was still in the same position, and he still passed the ball without looking at people. This time, the difficulty of Xu Hao's pass continued to increase, because it was Brewer who cut to the basket to catch the ball.Ellington's position was in the bottom corner before, which was relatively open, and Brewer was literally in the crowd!
In fact, Xu Hao didn't awaken any magical abilities because of the existence of the system, he just knew his teammates well.Moreover, when Love sent the baseline ball, he had already explained to everyone the tactics he was going to play next. It is not very difficult to predict a little bit, but it is his strength to seize the best opportunity and pass the ball to eat. strength.

The Thunder fans were almost silent on the sidelines. They felt that Xu Hao was the only one shining brightly in the entire arena, and everyone else was his foil. This guy... seems to have sung the game as a one-man show abruptly?
