Chapter 372
Durant's remarks were quickly spread by the major media. Those who supported him praised his courage, and those who hated him laughed at his arrogance.But in any case, what he said was a tactic that the Thunder gave the Timberwolves, and it would not work if he didn't answer it.

These words quickly reached the ears of the Timberwolves players, and they were very upset about this.Now they are leading 2-1. The Thunder just defended one of their home games. What is there to be arrogant about?Want to reach the finals?Did you ask us?Why does it sound like they have already won this round of the series and are heading for the Western Conference Finals?

Xu Hao doesn't believe that Durant can explode output in two consecutive games, but the team also has to come up with some ways to deal with it.Is it possible to really watch the Thunder rely on Durant's small universe to reverse and advance?That would be a disgrace to the Timberwolves!In order not to let the team lose this round of the series, Xu Hao felt that it was time for him to ask the coach to volunteer.

"What? You want to play small forward and face off against Durant in the game?" McHale stood up in surprise and stared at the calm Xu Hao in front of him, completely confused as to why he would propose such a move. Require.

Xu Hao nodded, and his tone was so indifferent that he seemed to be discussing what to have for dinner later: "Yes, I thought about it. If we don't restrict Durant, he may really lead the team to reverse. I think it's okay if I go." Get him!"

"What do you think? What do you think? Durant's height and wingspan make him almost unrivaled in the third position. What role can you play as a swingman?" McHale slapped the table On, said angrily.

However, Xu Hao's next sentence extinguished his anger: "But we have no one else who can stand up."

McHale thought about it, and had to admit that what Xu Hao said made sense. In the main rotation of the Timberwolves, there is actually a lack of flank defenders.Originally Ellington could take on this important task, but he is short in height, and defending Durant is tantamount to giving the opponent a chance to shoot wildly. Is it really necessary to let this big killer continue to charge?
After being silent for a while, McHale said in a deep voice: "Are you sure about guarding Durant?"

Xu Hao shrugged: "I will do my best! Even if I can't cover him, I will try to steal ahead of time."

Having said that, McHale has no reason to refuse, he said seriously: "I will give you a period of time, if you can get Durant, I will give you this important task, but if not, Then follow me!"

"No problem, coach!" Xu Hao ran two fingers across his forehead, saluted a substandard military salute, and ran away in a hurry.Now that it is determined to defend Durant in the next game, it is necessary to make some necessary preparations in advance.

When Xu Hao was preparing for the game before, he basically went to the system to simulate the match with the next opponent, but this time he wanted to change the method.According to the system, he can completely adjust the game to one-on-one, two-on-two, or three-on-three. That is to say, he can adjust through the system to simulate Durant and himself heads-up.

All the time before the start of the game, as long as it is not required by the coach to attend the training, Xu Hao will choose to stay in the hotel room, constantly trying to figure out Durant's shooting characteristics and personal habits during the duel.This is what an excellent defender must do. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy can win a hundred battles, and only by knowing your opponent can you finally defeat your opponent.

Xu Hao was like a lunatic who singled out Durant, who was simulated by the system. Gradually, he began to have a preliminary grasp of this guy's characteristics. Familiar with the heart.The next thing he has to do is to formulate a defensive strategy based on these, and then slap the opponent severely during the game.

The time soon came to an hour before the start of the fourth game, and the Timberwolves players were nervously preparing in the locker room.McHale took an opportunity to pull Xu Hao aside, and asked in a low voice: "Chris, let me ask you one last time, are you sure of success? If not, I will continue to use the regular starter, and it may not be impossible to win next game."

Faced with the coach's doubts, Xu Hao patted his chest and said, "I'm at least [-]% sure now, just wait and see!"

Since Xu Hao was so confident, McHale couldn't bear to discourage his enthusiasm. When announcing the starting lineup, he directly placed Xu Hao at the small forward position, and Rubio and Ellington partnered in the backcourt.This is a lineup that the Timberwolves have never used before. Not to mention that the media are confused, the Timberwolves players themselves feel very strange.

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, McHale explained: "Chris thought that Durant's performance must be restricted. He took the initiative to change to a small forward to match Durant. I hope everyone can give him enough on the court." support."

When he said this, everyone looked at Xu Hao as if they were looking at God.Everyone knew that Durant had to be restrained, but none of them came up with a good solution. Only Xu Hao dared to face the difficulties. If he really succeeded, he would be God.

Xu Hao laughed: "I'm just a dead horse as a living horse doctor. The coach only gave me one quarter of the game. If I can't handle Durant, I can only fight against the Thunder. Increased risk. I just want a win without any risk, and if you can guard Durant, it will be relatively easy to win the game."

Although Xu Hao had a smile on his face, the atmosphere in the locker room was still dignified. Everyone knew that this task was almost impossible to accomplish.Of course Xu Hao is the team's best perimeter player, but can he really guard Durant?
Others were worried about Xu Hao, but Xu Hao himself had a lot of confidence.In the system, he has almost figured out Durant's situation, and now it's up to him to see if he can make good use of this information in a real game.To a certain extent, it is one thing to understand the opponent, but it is another thing to prevent it. Durant is a big headache for any team coach, but getting him is basically a problem. It's like taking care of the entire Thunder.

The game was about to start soon, Xu Hao took the lead and opened the door of the locker room and walked out. The other players were also infected by his heroic spirit, and followed behind to walk along the player tunnel to the stadium with arrogance.Now they have to believe in Xu Hao, believe that he can guard Durant during the game, and guard that almost unsolvable BUG player.
