Chapter 473 Surpassing Jordan
In the locker room of the visiting team, the entire Heat team looked dignified.Everyone knew the situation in the first half. They lost to Xu Hao alone. However, even if they knew the reason, they had no way to limit Xu Hao's performance.

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Heat players who are aiming to win the championship. Xu Hao's performance in the first two quarters really made them hate and fear. If he can't suppress his scoring momentum in the second half, is it really necessary to watch him off? He broke the record?Having said that, Xu Hao scored 30+ single-handedly in the first half, and the playoff scoring record does not seem out of reach.

Spoelstra looked around and said in a deep voice: "In the second half, I need you all to keep an eye on Xu Hao. Don't give him any more chances. It's okay to use lethal tactics if necessary. Listen. do you understand?"

When Spoelstra said the word "destructive tactics," James and Wade had a look of embarrassment on their faces, but it quickly disappeared.For players with strong professional ethics like them, destructive tactics are not on the table, but they don't care too much now. After all, this is the finals, and it's still Tianwang Mountain!
However, Spoelstra also took a lot of thought about who was going to defend Xu Hao.Chalmers obviously can't do it. After the foul in the first half, he has already registered with the referee. If he does it again, he may not be sent off directly.After much deliberation, Spoelstra decided to send backup point guard Cole, and the team's possession of the ball is still controlled by Wade and James.

Before going on the field, Spoelstra also called Cole over to give an opportunity to face-to-face, which was nothing more than some timing choices and control over the degree of fouls.Cole nodded repeatedly as he listened, wondering if he really listened.

McHale didn't take the Heat's lineup adjustments to heart at all. Moreover, Cole was the Heat's top backup point guard, so it was normal for him to replace Chalmers in the starting lineup.If the Heat suddenly send a guy who almost only appears in garbage time, McHale will be more cautious. Who knows what the other party is going to do?

After the game started, Cole followed Xu Hao like a tarsal maggot. As long as he caught the ball, he would interfere. Whenever Xu Hao was about to break through with the ball, he also stood in front bravely, as if he wanted to To cause an offensive foul.Xu Hao didn't notice, and was almost intercepted by Cole. Fortunately, he quickly smashed the ball into Cole's leg and out of bounds, and the ball still belonged to the Timberwolves.Even so, Cole was still not discouraged, and followed Xu Hao closely to prevent him from catching the ball.

Glancing at the expressionless Cole, Xu Hao smiled slightly, wanting this guy to limit himself, Spoelstra still thought things too simply.Xu Hao signaled Love to move closer to him with his eyes, the soles of his feet suddenly accelerated, and disappeared from Cole's eyes in the blink of an eye.Kerr managed to bypass Love, and all he saw was Xu Hao receiving the throw-in from Jordan, hitting a three-pointer at a 45-degree angle on the wing with ease, and winking at him when he returned to defense.

Cole subconsciously looked at Spoelstra, who also felt helpless. Xu Hao was a bug-like existence.Especially tonight, he is like God's projection on earth. No matter how the Heat defend, he can find opportunities to score.However, Spoelstra would not admit defeat because of this. He nodded solemnly towards Cole, indicating that he should continue to defend Xu Hao. It would be best if he could defend him. Even if he couldn't defend him, he couldn't let it go. The opponent scores easily.

But to be honest, Xu Hao didn't care about Cole's defense at all. McHale also saw his advantage when facing Cole, so he simply replaced Shved and formed a double point guard with Rubio. A lineup of three guards and two inside players.This move further liberated Xu Hao, allowing him to completely free himself from organizing the offense and attack with all his strength.

With the support of his teammates and coaches, Xu Hao unceremoniously opened up his firepower, making unreasonable and difficult shots one after another, and beat Cole, who was in charge of defending him, to disgrace. Even James and Wade couldn't take it nothing cheap.

Xu Hao's offensive method is generally a double-edged sword. If his shooting efficiency is not high, he will definitely be accused of disregarding the team's wild shots, and it will also give the opponent countless opportunities to counterattack.But if you look at his current super high shooting percentage, no head coach will refuse to let him make crazy shots, after all, this is a guarantee of scoring.

Spoelstra's defensive strategy had no effect. Instead, Xu Hao shot 100% in the third quarter.In this quarter, he only rested for 2 minutes, made all 3 two-pointers, 4 three-pointers, plus 5 free throws, and scored 23 points again in a single quarter. It has reached an astonishing 56 points.

Now it can be said that Xu Hao broke Jordan's single-game scoring record in the playoffs. After all, the Timberwolves are only leading by 8 points. If he wants to win, he must stay on the court.If the Timberwolves have already spent the game at this time, he might end up taking a rest. Unfortunately, the Heat's resistance is very tenacious, so he can only continue to score points.

During the break during the festival, Xu Hao's score in this game and the gap between him and Jordan's single-game scoring record in the playoffs were displayed on the big screen. The fans were completely crazy. They might actually witness a miracle here. .The screams and cheers at the scene have reached their peak since the start of the game, almost tearing the roof off.

Naturally, McHale would not let Xu Hao sit on the bench. The team still needs to rely on his scoring to win!In the fourth quarter when everyone was exhausted, Xu Hao was like a robot following the established running route to catch the ball, shoot, shoot, and then hit, as if the shouts of "MVP! MVP!" on the sidelines had nothing to do with him. Half a dime relationship.

Although the Heat players also went all out to win the game, they still couldn't resist Xu Hao, a super god.In this quarter, Xu Hao scored 15 points again, raising the single-game scoring record in the NBA playoffs and finals to an astonishing 71 points.When he hit the last three-pointer, the audience was completely detonated. Countless Timberwolves fans shouted and jumped excitedly, rejoicing for their leader Xu Hao to create a historical record.Xu Hao's three-pointer also completely concluded the game. Under his superb performance, the Timberwolves defeated the Heat 112 to 105 and won the crucial Tianwangshan battle.This night, Xu Hao became the hero of Minnesota, and this is the glory he deserves!
