Chapter 405 Wrestling match?

Facing the menacing Timberwolves, the whole Heat team is ready to fight, especially their starting five tigers. Everyone's expression is very dignified. They can see the confidence of winning from the eyes of the Timberwolves players, which is not easy to deal with. .

However, the style of the Timberwolves after the opening still surprised them. Is this still the young guards known for their gorgeous style of play?They played like hooligans on the court!Although it is not a black hand, it is definitely considered rough and brutal. After anyone receives the ball, there will always be one or two Timberwolves players rushing up and sticking to you with all their strength.

Even someone as physically strong as James can't bear it, because the Timberwolves didn't let Korver start in this game, but replaced Ellington and let Xu Hao play small forward.James is indeed steel and iron, but Xu Hao has a lot of small moves, and he also has outstanding strength in the same position. It is really easy to harass James in a personal confrontation.

Facing the Timberwolves' hooligan style of play, the Heat's players suffered unspeakably. It was not until the game was almost 3 minutes before Wade pushed Ellington and hit a mid-range shot to open the scoring for the Heat.On the other hand, the Timberwolves, they kept giving the ball to the inside, allowing Love and Pekovic to take turns playing singles, which caused the Heat to panic at the basket, and even opened the door wide.

That's right, McHale not only removed Korver, but also removed Jordan Jr., and put up two heavy insiders, Love and Pekovic. Obviously, he wanted to make trouble inside. The lower back singles are not covered.As for the Heat's quick transition attack, McHale felt that the threat was not that great. Anyway, the Timberwolves only gave the ball to the low post in the safest way, and let the two big men take turns playing singles. That doesn't exist.

The scores of both sides rose slowly, but the referee's whistle was very cheerful, which was in stark contrast to the previous games.Speaking of which, the playing style of the two teams is actually very gorgeous, which is the fundamental reason why the tickets for this year's finals are sold very well. However, those fans who bought tickets to watch the sixth game will definitely feel fooled: such a game Do you think it looks good?
The most aggrieved are Wade and James.Bosh is not here now, and Spoelstra still arranges for him to lead the second team, so the starting five have to rely on the two of them to drive.However, the other players of the Heat are really pure role players with relatively single functions and cannot take on the heavy responsibility of scoring points alone. If they can't open, others will be abolished.

So Wade and James encountered the Timberwolves' meticulous "care" on the court. Xu Hao and Ellington, the starting backcourt combination of last season, completely devoted their energy to the great defensive career, defending the two seniors. It hurts so much.Anyway, the Timberwolves now have Love and Pekovic scoring inside, and their efficiency is higher than outside shooting.

Spoelstra had no choice but to call the first timeout of the game. He could clearly see from the sidelines that every player under his command was in high spirits. Staged a full martial arts.

However, appeasement can only play a temporary role, and the tactics cannot be executed smoothly. The Heat's scoring can only rise slowly like this.The Timberwolves are not fast, but they are much better than the Heat. They have two big men who can score goals in the low post, and the Heat's defense is not so tough. Xu Hao and the others can occasionally get a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

By the time McHale came on as a substitute with 3 minutes and 39 seconds left in the first quarter, the Timberwolves had already led 24 to 15. This score was quite shabby for them, but everyone was tired and smiling.After all, the Heat scored fewer points than them and consumed a lot of energy in constant physical confrontation. Isn't this good news?

This is also the root cause of McHale's early substitutions. As the side that provokes physical confrontation, the Timberwolves' players consume more than the Heat. Xu Hao, who usually played the entire first quarter without panting, had to rest. , obviously consumes a lot.Of course, this has a lot to do with him defending James, and it is correct to consume too much.

According to Spoelstra's thinking, the Timberwolves should not be so crazy after the two sides replaced the substitutes, but he soon realized that he was wrong. Come on and continue their unspectacular confrontation.Oh no, there is one other person who did not do this, and that is Korver. Unfortunately, his existence is even more heart-wrenching. Continuous catches and three-pointers are like a poisoned dagger, piercing the heart of the Heat.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves finally raised their score to the normal 32 points, but the Heat only scored 20 points. when the Walters.The Timberwolves' defensive ability is certainly not as good as the Celtics who rely on defense for food, but they cleverly dragged the Heat into the quagmire of physical confrontation, and then used better physical strength to gain the lead.

Of course, the Timberwolves have their own losses by doing so. Among other things, except for Love and Pekovic among the starting five, everyone else has committed one or two fouls. He was replaced because he committed too many fouls.If the Heat work harder, they will almost all get into foul trouble soon.

However, McHale is not worried. The Timberwolves' bench depth is no worse than that of the Heat, and they are all capable players. As long as the time and frequency of rotation are adjusted, the number of fouls can be distributed equally to everyone. This will ensure that the main players can continue to stay on the court at the critical moment of the fourth quarter, fighting with the Heat face to face.

For the performance of the players in the first quarter, McHale was very satisfied. These wolf cubs implemented his ideas very well.For McHale, who is from the Celtics, high-intensity physical confrontation is something engraved in his bones, and in the crucial finals, there is no need to save energy, just go up and do it.

The rest time between festivals is not long. McHale called everyone to drink more water quickly, and asked the medical team to come over and give them a massage to restore their physical strength. There are still three quarters of competition for them to fight!If you don't take the time to rest now, you will become a soft-legged shrimp on the court, so why talk about using your body to fight and limit the Heat?
