Chapter 404 The pressure is not small
When the Timberwolves went to Miami, many local fans felt that the airport came to see them off.Although they didn't shout any slogans, Xu Hao and the others could still see the ardent expectations for them from the eyes of the fans.In their view, failing to win at the Target Center is not a big deal, as long as you can win the O'Brien Cup, who cares where you win?

This also made the hearts of the entire Timberwolves team heavy. They couldn't afford such heavy expectations!The Heat were able to win the fifth game, and then they were in their territory again. How could they not grit their teeth and fight again?If they can defeat the Timberwolves, the finals will be dragged into the tiebreaker, and they may not be unable to successfully reverse the championship by then.

Of course, this is exactly what the generals of the Timberwolves are worried about. It would be terrible if the Heat were allowed to tie the big score. At that time, the morale of the two sides would not be at the same level. Would the Timberwolves still want to win the tiebreaker?Go ahead and dream!
So no matter what, they must win this game because they cannot afford to lose the game.Although there is still a chance for them to make up for their mistakes in one last game, the possibility of winning in that case is slim. Leading 3-1 but being reversed by the opponent, still in the finals, the Timberwolves will definitely become the biggest joke.

Everyone knows the consequences of losing, so the pressure in their hearts is naturally huge, even Xu Hao can't escape it.He has always felt that he can make the mountain collapse in front of him without changing his color, but when it comes to the critical moment, he also feels a little nervous.The direct consequence of the nervousness was that he went crazy and played against the Heat in the system, hoping to give himself some comfort.

When the plane landed in Miami, Xu Hao retreated from the system and let out a long breath.Although he is not fully sure that he can beat the Heat on this land, at least his heart has completely calmed down.

In fact, in any sports competition, skills are often not the most important, but psychological quality is.Even if you are so good that you explode, and you can't perform at a normal level because your mental quality is not good enough on the court, what's the use?
However, Xu Hao was not sure whether his teammates had the same ability to adjust as he did. He didn't want to think that he would be the only one to perform normally during the game. In that case, the team would really be in doom.In order to win this game, Xu Hao also explained his worries to McHale in private, hoping that the coach could provide everyone with psychological counseling in time.

McHale felt that Xu Hao's worry was necessary, and with his qualifications and experience, it would not be difficult for the players to relieve the pressure.But don't let the lads go to bars and nightclubs to relax, it will only destroy themselves.

So after going to the hotel to rest for most of the day, McHale began to meet with the Timberwolves players one by one, telling everyone what to do in such a situation with his own experience, so that they can perform normally on the field.

McHale's coaching experience is indeed very average, but he can't stand him, he is a well-known celebrity in the history of the Celtics!In the 80s, no one dared to underestimate the Big Three led by him, Bird and Parish, and thus won three championships. Talking about how to perform the best performance under pressure in the finals, Mike Haier is clearly professional.

As one of the few people who didn't need to talk to the coach, Xu Hao didn't know what McHale and the others had said. The only thing he could be sure of was that when everyone walked out of the coach's room, they had the aura of breaking the boat.Although playing with the courage of the blood may also cause problems, at least it is much better than being under pressure and deforming your movements during the game.

During training, every Timberwolves player was very active, which made McHale very satisfied, and he was also gratified that Xu Hao could make suggestions.If he ignores the mentality of the players, the problem may completely erupt during the game, and it will be too late to appease everyone. It seems that Xu Hao can still be a good coach after retiring.

But at this time, it doesn't matter whether Xu Hao has the talent to coach the team. The biggest task at present is to kill the Heat and win the championship.Now that everyone's spirits have been raised, McHale is also full of confidence in winning this game.

Of course, they are full of confidence, and the entire Heat team is full of confidence.Anyway, the big score now is 2 to 3. As long as they win another game, they will be back on the same starting line. It is still unknown who will win.And in the last game, the Heat almost suppressed their opponents. As long as the game process is copied, the victory will be securely secured.

However, when they came to the stadium, what they saw was a group of hungry wolves. Every Timberwolves player looked at them with green eyes, as if the Heat were leading.The murderous eyes of the Timberwolves players made many Heat players shudder: These guys are not going to use any means during the game to get them down, right?If so, how can you win?It's obvious that he killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses. Who is in the lead?

In fact, their thinking is still a bit biased. Although most of the Timberwolves players are young, they are not stunned. They will definitely not do such malicious fouls that cause injuries to the opponent.Don't talk about how bad the reputation will be at that time, the championship won by relying on this method can't convince others, and I can't bear it in my heart.

But McHale had already given instructions to everyone in advance. The main theme of the Timberwolves game was physical confrontation. They faced off against the Heat with hard bridges and hard horses. By the way, the pace of the game was accelerated, and a bunch of old arms and legs of the opponent were crippled.This seems to be very untechnical, but it is the strength of the Timberwolves. If it is not used at this time, there is no chance.

Speaking of which, the Heat's style of play can be considered tough, but it is still worse than the Timberwolves.The reason is very simple. Most of the Heat are veterans who have achieved great success. Only Haslem, James and Wade can be regarded as tough. Battier is also good, but they will not risk the possibility of injury to fight their opponents. .However, the Timberwolves do not have such a problem at all. What they like most is to compete with their opponents. The stronger the opponent is, the higher their morale will be. Of course, the Heat are among them.

There is no such thing as respecting the old and loving the young on the field, and those are reserved for display after the game.To some extent, being weak is the original sin. As long as you can kill your opponent within the rules, who cares what method you use?
