Junior Basketball says

Chapter 397 It's time to explode
Xu Hao didn't pay attention to the routines of the media at all, and he was very relieved by Korver's statement.As long as his teammates can understand and the team wins the game, then there is no problem, and the public opinion of the outside world is directly ignored by him.

McHale didn't have any objections to his two passes. After all, the latter came from the Celtics, who attach great importance to teamwork.In McHale's view, there is no problem with Xu Hao's passing. Although his disciple's ability is excellent, Korver's position is better. As a combo guard who can organize offense, Xu Hao still has not forgotten his mission. .

However, judging from personal data, Xu Hao's game was indeed tepid. His performance of 17 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists was below his normal level, and he even ranked first in the team in scoring. four.As the outside core and chief scorer of the Timberwolves, 17 points in a single game is basically Xu Hao's lowest score in this year's playoffs.

Although Xu Hao hopes to help the team win, he has been working hard to win the finals MVP, which is a heavyweight personal honor.Besides, if he plays well, the team can win more easily. Isn't that the best of both worlds?

In these three games, Xu Hao's performance was not that sharp. If this continues, the MVP of the finals may not fall to him.If you want to add a little weight to yourself, you must explode in the next game.

So the entire Timberwolves team saw a Xu Hao who went all out on the training ground.Originally, Xu Hao just completed the tasks step by step during the training, and at most he was more serious during the team match, but now he showed a strong aggressiveness, which made Ellington, who was playing against him on offense and defense, miserable : How can you train like this?

In fact, what they don't know is that Xu Hao is not only very active on the training ground, but also constantly simulates games with the Heat through the system every night on the hotel bed.It can be said that Xu Hao has accumulated a lot of experience, at least in the game, he can better find the opponent's defensive loopholes, and he can also reduce the pressure on his body when defending.

After a day of rest and preparation, Game [-] of the finals started as scheduled. This time, Heat fans were even more rude to the Timberwolves. If it wasn't for the league's explicit prohibition, they might all enter the arena with racially discriminatory slogans.Despite this, they still "welcome" the opponent who won the game with boos all over the sky, hoping that they will suffer a disastrous defeat tonight.

Hearing the boos resounding through the audience, Xu Hao smiled slightly, full of confidence in himself.After these two days of full preparation, he believes that he can leave a deep impression on the players and fans of the Heat through his outstanding performance in this game.

However, McHale still asked to start from the inside first. After all, the Timberwolves have a considerable advantage at the basket. If they don't start playing from the basket, isn't that a waste of advantage?Xu Hao didn't rashly ask for unlimited fire, the head coach's instructions were still very appropriate. In terms of Xu Hao's true thoughts, he was unwilling to be a ball bully.

At the beginning, Xu Hao and Rubio sent the ball to the inside according to McHale's request. However, Love seems to be in a bad state tonight. For the first time in a post-up single with the ball in the low post, he missed a hit and was almost caught by Hassler. Jam cover.The second time he tried to get near the free throw line, and hit the iron again with a mid-range shot. Fortunately, Jordan grabbed the rebound and made up the ball.

Love is not an idiot, and he is not the kind of person who will not let go when he gets the ball. Since he encounters obstacles in the interior, he should hand the ball to his teammates on the outside to deal with it. He can also use more tactics to find Find a feel.

Rubio simply handed the ball to Xu Hao. He knew that his partner was strong and could stand out against the Heat's targeted defense. The threat of the ball in his hands was several times that of Rubio's own.Xu Hao didn't refuse, and he resolutely held the ball to face Wade's defense. Now that the Heat have taken the lead, what he has to do is to help the team catch up.

But Xu Hao obviously didn't want to consume too much of his physical strength, so he directly asked Love to come up as a cover, and after going around, he directly hit the basket.The Heat players didn't expect him to come so fast and were caught off guard, allowing Xu Hao to score a layup.

However, this was just the beginning. Next, Xu Hao completely took over the Timberwolves' offense. The Heat's defense was almost vulnerable to him. He broke through for layups, pull-up three-pointers, dunks, fadeaway jumpers, etc. Martial arts are clearly demonstrated in his hands.Under his leadership, the Timberwolves hit a small climax and completed the lead in one fell swoop.Spoelstra on the sidelines was stunned. Why did his team fall behind all of a sudden?This is totally unscientific!
He had to call a timeout, trying to interrupt Xu Hao's scoring rhythm, but it didn't work.After the timeout ended, Xu Hao still scored like cutting melons and vegetables. When he was replaced by McHale with 1 minute and 42 seconds left in the first quarter, his score had reached 16 points, and he also sent 3 assists to help the Timberwolves get 35 points, while the Heat only scored 28 points.However, in the last less than 2 minutes, the Timberwolves were beaten 7 to 2, and the lead became 2 points.

The performance of the substitutes made McHale frown, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, except for Xu Hao in the first quarter, everyone else was in a mediocre state, and the Heat had at least the Big Three who could lead the team in turn, so they could naturally maintain the intensity of the game.

Xu Hao wasn't surprised by this. Originally, he didn't want to leave the game, but he was afraid that the Heat would catch up with the score at the last moment.However, McHale still let him rest. The consequence is that the difference between the two sides is now only 2 points.But Xu Hao knew that the coach also had good intentions. He shot relatively more in the first quarter, and it seemed that he needed enough rest time.

During the break, McHale harshly criticized the players who were on the court in the final minutes of the first quarter.In his opinion, it is necessary to seize any advantage against the Heat in order to have a chance to turn it into a victory before the end of the game. Originally, Xu Hao had already created a nearly double-digit lead for the team, but he did not expect that it was basically over in less than 2 minutes. All paid out.

In this regard, Xu Hao persuaded: "Coach, let's not be impatient. It's only a quarter of the game. Besides, aren't we still leading now? In the second quarter, I believe we can expand the point difference again. The game process is inherently ups and downs. Yes, this is just a small setback, we have the strength to kill the Heat, and there are still three quarters to go!"
