Chapter 478 Counterattack
During the intermission, the locker room of the home team at the American Airlines Center was dead silent. Everyone lowered their heads in silence, and the atmosphere was extremely dignified.It took a while for Spoelstra to break the embarrassing silence and say loudly: "Everyone look up! It's not the end of the game yet, there are still 24 minutes, and we haven't played yet." lose!"

When everyone raised their heads, Spoelstra pointed to Wade and said, "Dwyane, in the second half, I hope you can hit the inside more, but you must give full play to your ability to run without the ball. Someone passed you the ball."

Then Spoelstra looked at James again: "LeBron, I will give you the possession of the ball. You were very good when you played the point forward in the Cavaliers. Now I ask you to continue to play the point forward and serve the team. The offense threaded the needle."

After arranging the two most important generals, Spoelstra continued: "Others should try their best to cooperate with Dwyane and LeBron, make decisive shots when opportunities arise, and all members must participate when grabbing rebounds. Take into account a quick counterattack. I know this request is a bit embarrassing for you, but this is the magic weapon we rely on for survival, and we cannot give up easily."

Finally, Spoelstra said in a deep voice: "You guys know how important this game is. We were only 12 points behind in the first half, and there is still a possibility of recovering. You must give [-]% We must strive for every goal with all our strength. Only by playing more offensive rounds than the Timberwolves while ensuring efficiency can we hope to win.”

At the same time, McHale was also giving a speech to the players: "Everyone's performance in the first half was very good, far exceeding my expectations, but it was not enough. The Heat are a strong team, and they will definitely receive There was a counterattack in the next game. If we can survive this period of time, it will be easy to win the game, do you all understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone roared in unison, but in the end it was unclear how many people took the coach's words to heart.In the eyes of some people, it is a sure thing that the team will win this game and be crowned the championship. Although the point difference has not widened to a desperate level, the Heat's performance in the first half will not be possible. What a reversal!
Xu Hao felt that what McHale said was very reasonable, and he didn't believe that the Heat would be caught without a fight. After all, this is their home court, and the Timberwolves already hold the match point.If it is the regular season stage, losing a game is not a big deal, but losing this game means that a season's hard work has been wasted, and it will be sprayed to death by the fans.

There is still a little time before the start of the second half, Xu Hao quickly went through the previous game in his mind, and he has some points in his heart.In Xu Hao's view, as long as the Timberwolves can maintain such a perverted shooting touch in the second half, it's okay even if the Heat's Big Three suddenly erupt.

However, sometimes you really come here for whatever you are afraid of. After the start of the second half, the Timberwolves missed all shots in the first five rounds, and Xu Hao's passes were all in vain. Only 2 points.

On the contrary, James on the Heat's side sorted out the team's offense in an orderly manner, and Wade unexpectedly did not compete with James for the ball, but began to move without the ball like a role player.Originally, his speed of dribbling breakthrough was very fast, but now he is empty-handed again. Sheved, who is in charge of marking him, can't keep up with his footsteps at all, so he can only watch him keep attacking the basket.

Whether it's a confrontation layup after an air cut, or a pull-up jumper after a catch, Wade makes it easy.With the assist of James, he scored 8 points in a row, helping the Heat narrow the point difference to single digits in one fell swoop, and the Timberwolves quickly called a timeout.

McHale was very dissatisfied with the performance of the players in these few minutes. He waved the tactical board and spit and said loudly: "What about your touch in the first half? Could it be that it fell in the locker room during the intermission?" You are in this state, let alone the Heat. You probably won’t be able to beat the NBDL if you get it. It seems you still don’t take my words to heart!”

Seeing his teammates being treated like grandsons by the coach, Xu Hao quickly stood up and said: "Coach, I'm sorry, this is my problem. If I can create more open shots, the team's offense will not stagnate It's..."

Before Xu Hao finished speaking, McHale interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "This has nothing to do with you. You have done a good job. It's because the others failed to seize the shooting opportunity. The key is that the rebound is still missing. It would be strange not to fall behind!"

After McHale finished speaking, he continued to spit at the others. Xu Hao shrugged. Now is not the time for him to take the blame and solve the problem. He can only see if his teammates will be woken up by the coach. After all, the situation is over. It's critical.

After getting angry, McHale simply came up and down, leaving only Xu Hao alone, and replaced Ellington, Korver, Milicic and Pekovic. I hope these substitutes can play well. Must be more active than the main force.

The Timberwolves, who had changed their lineup, still maintained the previous offensive routine, but Xu Hao felt much more relaxed, because the touch of these guys didn't seem to be affected.Especially Ellington and Korver, they seized the opportunities created by Xu Hao from the outside. Even if they missed shots occasionally, Milicic and Pekovic could grab rebounds by virtue of their height.

Although the defense of this lineup is not so strong, the return to normal offense did not allow the Heat to continue to narrow the point difference. The gap between the two sides has always remained at about 5 points.McHale is not very satisfied with this gap, because the Heat only need two rounds to smooth the point difference, but this is already the extreme they can do. After all, James and Wade have played at the level of the league's top superstars , It is not easy for the Timberwolves to rely on the bench lineup to get around this far.

At the end of the three quarters, the Timberwolves led by 79 points 75 to 4. Such a score is acceptable for the Heat, and they still maintain the hope of reversing and winning.The fans at the scene also accepted it. James and Wade performed well in the third quarter, which made their cheers a lot louder. They firmly believed that the Heat could drag the series into the tiebreaker.

Xu Hao listened to the screams and cheers of the fans at the scene, and an elusive smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.If the Heat thought they could win the game, they would be too naive. As the MVP of last season's finals, Xu Hao would never let such a thing happen.Now there are still 12 minutes before the end of the game, can the Heat have another climax?
