Chapter 470 Defeated to Miami

McHale couldn't bear to criticize them loudly because of the sincere remorse of the players, but the analysis of the game still needs to be done.In fact, in Xu Hao's view, the analysis of this game is not very useful. Strictly speaking, there are only two reasons for the Timberwolves' failure.

This is also what Xu Hao admired from McHale. In the video analysis class, he still explained the team's problems clearly and clearly. It seemed that everyone had a lot of problems during the game, but in the final analysis, it was just bad luck.

Of course, the Timberwolves, who suffered a disastrous defeat, did not lose their morale because of this. They are already gearing up to give the Heat a little color in the next game, and then go directly to the home court to win the championship. That would be so beautiful.

In an interview, McHale also expressed the team's determination to strive for victory. He said: "I believe our luck will not always be so bad. We will not give up so many good shooting opportunities in the next game. I admit it. The Heat are a very strong team, but the final winner must be us, and my players and I firmly believe this."

At the same time, the Timberwolves also conducted closed training, and even reporters from afar from Minnesota were unable to go to the training site to conduct interviews.There are also some reporters who want to ask the players some questions through their own channels, but the answer they get is that the head coach has issued a gag order, and they cannot say anything without permission.

All of this has made the Timberwolves' preparations mysterious. Many experts have speculated that they will release their big move in the fourth game, return to their home court with a score of 3 to 1, and then be crowned the champion at the Target Center. champion.

But on the day of the game, the Timberwolves' starting lineup surprised them.McHale didn't have any so-called big moves to use at all. He directly resumed the team's regular starting lineup, and it looked like he was going to fight a positional battle with the Heat in an upright manner.The Heat don't mind this. After the last game, they are full of confidence in the Big Three. As long as James, Wade and Bosh can continue the performance of the three at the same time, winning is not impossible.

The Timberwolves players who wanted to avenge their shame played very actively after the start of the game, but the Heat were not good at it. They launched a counterattack amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, and neither side could do anything to the other.Whenever one of the teams wants to start, the other team can always respond in time. At the end of the first quarter, the score was actually 31.

It stands to reason that such an anxious situation will definitely make the coaches of both sides feel like they are sitting on pins and needles, but the strange thing is that both McHale and Spoelstra are sitting on the Diaoyutai, as if their team is sure of winning.Except for substitutions in the first quarter, they did not call a timeout to adjust their tactics, and completely let their players solve problems on the court.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves took the lead, and Xu Hao single-handedly scored 8 points to help the team get out of the quagmire first.He is the most trusted person of the team at critical moments, and he has never disappointed the coach and teammates.This is why teammates are willing to hand over the ball to him to handle, and replace it with other people. If you want to play singles with the ball, you probably don't have the ability.

Xu Hao's outstanding performance gave the Timberwolves an 11-point lead at halftime, and it looked like they should be able to win the game easily.But many things will gradually deviate from the original track in the process of gradual development, especially in professional sports games. Otherwise, how can it attract so many fans crazy about it?

After the start of the second half, Wade, the heart of the Heat, began to exert his strength. After being placed in the No. [-] position, he began to continuously beat Rubio with the ball. His lightning-like speed made people realize that his nickname was not for nothing. of.In fact, Rubio is also very fast, but obviously not as good as Wade. The latter often rushes past him with a single speed and goes directly to the basket to score.

Not only does Wade get into the paint with ease, he also has a strong ability to draw fouls around the basket.Although Jordan has grown into a reliable frame protector, facing Wade's various skills, if he is not careful, he will get fouled, and sometimes Wade will even score 2+1.If it weren't for Kirilen's defense in place, he would have been replaced by McHale.

In just 2 minutes and 12 seconds, Wade scored 11 points with shots and penalties. With the help of his teammates, the Heat quickly tied the score.McHale can only choose to call a timeout, at least not to allow the opponent to maintain this rhythm of the game.

After the timeout, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war again.Everyone hopes to take the lead in seizing the initiative, but it is extremely difficult to do so. After all, both sides have stars who can determine the outcome of the game at critical moments.In the finals, any minute of any game is a critical moment, and the stars are always playing a role.

After the first three quarters, the two sides were still at the same starting line, but the Timberwolves led by 2 points with Rubio's buzzer throw.But for the whole game, this is insignificant, it depends on the performance of both sides in the last quarter.

However, until the last minute of the game, the two teams still did not decide the outcome. The Timberwolves only led by 1 point, and the ball was in the hands of the Heat.At this time, the role players on both sides consciously open up space and let the stars play singles with the ball. This is their responsibility and their obligation. Isn't the team spending tens of millions every year just to let them do this?
James pressed the time with experience, and didn't force a breakthrough layup until 6 seconds left.The Timberwolves did not show any weakness. Xu Hao's breakthrough gave Love a chance to shoot a three-pointer. Unfortunately, he stepped on the three-point line and was sentenced to a two-pointer.But this is not bad. At such a critical moment, being able to guarantee a shot is already the best result.

In theory, both sides have an offensive opportunity at this time. The Heat took the lead and Bosh made a mid-range shot, but Rubio's three-pointer went out of the frame. The Timberwolves had to make a tactical foul, and James made two free throws at the free throw line. In the middle of the game, the Heat established a 3-point lead. Although it didn't look big, it was almost fatal at this decisive moment.

With Love's three-pointer at the last moment, the Timberwolves unfortunately lost to the Heat 102-105 in the away game. The big score was tied at 2-2. Both sides kept the first two home games. Next, it depends on the outcome of the Tianwangshan battle. The outcome of the fifth game may affect the final ownership of the championship.
