Chapter 469 Three Giants Explode
McHale is still very cautious about playing away games.The Heat's home record this season is terrible, with 38 wins and 4 losses, which is only slightly worse than the Timberwolves. In addition, the Timberwolves are currently leading 2-0. Maybe Miami fans will hate them. Whether you can leave the arena safely may be a question.

For this reason, McHale took the team to Miami early the next morning. For those who protested that they did not have enough sleep time, he directly asked them to sleep on the plane. It is better to go there early to adapt to the environment than to rush there to play the game. Much better.And if they go ahead of time, enough Timberwolves players will become calm about the home fans.

After getting on the plane, Xu Hao also took a blanket from the flight attendant and started to sleep soundly. It wasn't because he lacked energy, but there was no other way to pass the time on the plane. Why not go to the system and play a dozen simulation games? .Few of the other players took out their game consoles to pass the time, and it didn't take long for them to fall asleep again.

After three and a half hours of flight, the plane finally landed at Miami Airport. The Timberwolves players rubbed their eyes and yawned one by one, followed the coaching staff and got off the plane.Although they are already very low-key, but the big guy can't hide, besides, how many Heat fans are there at the airport?As soon as they saw the Timberwolves logo on their luggage, they immediately judged that this was an away player. Sporadic boos were inevitable, but fortunately there were no accidents or conflicts.

After lunch, McHale drove the players back to the room and issued a ban requiring them to only move within the hotel.This hotel was specially selected by the logistics supervisor. It has a gym, an indoor arena, and even a swimming pool, which can fully meet everyone's needs. Under such circumstances, there is no need to leave the hotel to wander around.

Besides, the game was scheduled for the second night, and McHale was afraid that this group of energetic guys would go to some nightclubs and bars and make something happen.Although the law and order in Miami is not bad, God knows if there will be some extreme fans waiting to teach them a blood lesson.In consideration of personal safety, it is better for them to stay in the hotel obediently.

On the second day, McHale only arranged recovery training. He felt that there was no need to deprive the players of rest time like preparing for the last game. Even if they wanted to continue to focus on three-pointers, the results of the last training were enough. .

Three hours before the start of the game, the entire Timberwolves team arrived at the American Airlines Center, the home of the Heat, and naturally encountered boos from fans who entered early.This was completely expected by them. After all, the Heat were pinned to the ground and rubbed for two consecutive games in the Target Center. It is absolutely a lie to say that Miami fans have no objections to the Timberwolves.

Except for those neutral fans, die-hard fans who really like a team will undoubtedly feel hostility to any other team. Even if there is no grudge between the two teams, in their eyes, as long as they stand on the opposite side, it is evil of.Booing is already a routine operation, and there are many people who swear at the players of the visiting team in the VIP seats on the sidelines.

After some intense preparations, the third game of the finals started as scheduled.In order to gain an advantage as soon as possible, McHale set up the same starting lineup as in the previous game, but this time the Heat chose to change the lineup. Spoelstra put Ray Allen and Battier in the two veterans. It's a bit confusing to start and partner with the Big Three.

It stands to reason that the starting lineup of the Timberwolves is full of athletic ability, and the Heat should send some young players to keep up with their footsteps. Why did Spoelstra put two veterans for no reason?Even Xu Hao was curious about it.

But after the game started, he was not curious, because the intention of the Heat was quite clear. They just wanted to play superstar basketball. Battier and Ray Allen were here to support the Big Three. Players know better when to do what.Perhaps Spoelstra had already warned before the game that the Big Three did not deliberately create opportunities for their teammates this time, but showed a strong desire to attack. As long as the ball is in their hands, they basically go it alone.

And this time the Timberwolves' three-pointer feeling is not as hot as before, and I don't know if it is because they are not suitable for the basket at the American Airlines Center.Except for Xu Hao and Korver who can seize the opportunity, everyone else is almost hitting the iron. McHale had to restore the inside combination of Jordan and Love in advance. If he can't make a shot, he can at least guarantee a rebound.

Under the ebb and flow, the Heat quickly took the lead, and among the cheers of the home fans, James, Wade and Bosh played as if they were releasing water in the previous two games.As for Ray Allen and Battier, they also occasionally hit [-]-pointers in unnoticed corners with coquettish running positions, which is even worse for the Timberwolves.

The Big Three played a full 12 minutes in the first quarter, which was the first time in the Heat's playoffs this year. It seems that they don't want to be given match point by the Timberwolves at their home court.And the Big Three all performed very desperately. In these 12 minutes, they scored 29 points together. The team scored a total of 38 points and achieved an 8-point lead.

What surprised others even more was that in the second quarter, the Heat still kept at least two stars leading the team on the field. They seemed to be carrying a perpetual motion machine with them, and they didn't need too much rest time at all.However, the long-term high-intensity battle did not reduce their efficiency. At the end of the half, the Heat still led by double digits and firmly suppressed the Timberwolves.

In the second half, the Timberwolves completely stalled. Except for Xu Hao who was still scoring to stop the team from bleeding, the others were constantly hitting the iron on the field like an evil spirit, and there were a lot of mistakes. The Heat seized the opportunity to expand the point difference to . More than 20 points, turning the fourth quarter into garbage time in advance, this is also the easiest time for them to win the playoffs this year.

The final score was 111 to 100. The Timberwolves managed to score triple digits at the last moment, but this was of no use. Even if they could score 200 points in a single game, a loss would still be a loss.So when the final whistle sounded, every Timberwolves player looked like they were mourning for their heirs, and the joy at the American Airlines Center only reflected their loneliness.

Looking at their listless looks, McHale smiled helplessly. These little guys have not suffered a major blow. They thought they could easily sweep the Heat to win the championship, and wondered if the Big Three were so easy to deal with?
