Chapter 335 Silence
For several days in a row, no media interviewed the coaches and players of the Thunder, not even the local Oklahoma media.The team's official social media accounts were also silent, as if they had been eliminated from the tournament.

But Xu Hao didn't believe that the opponent chose to give up, because this was not the style of a young guard. He keenly felt that the Thunder was brewing some big move. They were absolutely unwilling to be won by the Timberwolves in this series. .There are many young people in the Thunder, and most of them have high self-esteem. No one wants to be overthrown by their opponents in the second round, especially the Timberwolves, who are far inferior to them in terms of record. If they continue to lose the game, they will be against the Thunder. It's a huge shame.

McHale and Xu Hao have similar ideas, because if he were the Thunder coach, he would do the same. The main reason is to prevent outside interference and let the players completely return their minds to training and games.

So after leading the team back to Minneapolis, McHale only gave the players half a day off, and then pulled them directly to the training ground.Winning two consecutive games created a bad atmosphere within the Timberwolves. They all felt that the team's victory in this round of the series was a certainty. McHale felt that he had to remind him.

Before the training started, McHale gathered everyone for a short meeting, and when he saw everyone's indifference, he suddenly became angry.However, McHale didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face. He just said slowly: "In the history of the NBA, there have been too many things that lead 2-0 but were eventually overturned. I don't want to talk to you here. Inventory, I just want to ask you one question, do you think we have won this round of the series?"

No one made a sound. Talking at this time is tantamount to asking for trouble, but a few people still showed a natural look on their faces.The Thunder has long been touted by major media as the top team in the future, isn't it beaten 2-0 by us?

McHale knew what these guys were thinking as soon as he looked at their expressions. He coughed lightly and said: "We were able to defeat the Thunder in these two games mainly because of Chris. Of course, other people also made contributions. A big contribution, but we have to admit that without Chris’ sudden burst, it would be basically impossible for us to beat the Thunder.”

"But do you want to keep watching Chris fight alone? I know Chris is strong, but you are not weak. If everyone can play normally, it is not impossible to eliminate the Thunder, but if Chris continues to play alone, he It’s not Iron Man, how many games can you lead the team to win? So the chance of promotion is actually in your own hands.”

Those guys who took it for granted were extremely ashamed. Everyone saw Xu Hao's performance in these two games. Without him, it would be very difficult for the Timberwolves to win.To be honest, apart from Love, no one really helped him much. It can be said that the Timberwolves won the first two away games, and the advantage in terms of luck is indeed not small.

Seeing that everyone began to reflect on their performance, McHale smiled slightly and continued: "Of course, I also hope that you have a little confidence in yourself. Since we can win two away games, we can also keep our home game. Based on our current situation Of course, we can’t talk about winning the championship, but I also want to take you to the heights we can achieve.”

Then McHale waved his hand and shouted: "Everyone is there, start training!" Everyone responded in a loud voice, and began to train under the leadership of the assistant coach according to their respective positions, making full preparations for the next third game .

Although his teammates put away their pride and complacency, Xu Hao still felt that the third battle was a bit dangerous, and it was definitely not normal for Thunder to keep silent for several days.A certain boss said that if you don't erupt in silence, you will perish in silence. Obviously, it is impossible for the Thunder to give up this round of the series, so after they are silent, they are likely to have an eruption.

Two days later, when the Thunder showed up in Minneapolis, everyone squinted at the danger.Of course, Xu Hao also saw the airport photos released by the media. He could clearly feel that the entire Thunder team came here with anger. The purpose was very clear, that is, to wash away the shame of losing to the Timberwolves at home in the previous two games.

Although they were interviewed after getting off the plane this time, each of them boarded the bus with only a few words. Minutes' performance was in stark contrast.And in these few minutes, Brooks also revealed a message. Now that the entire Thunder team is united, they want to teach the Timberwolves an extremely profound lesson at the target center and tell them that they are not easy to mess with.At the same time, Brooks also said that the Timberwolves' victory depends entirely on Xu Hao, and they are ready to block.

For Brooks' remarks, the local media in Minnesota scoffed, and they all felt that the Thunder was bluffing.In particular, Brooks confidently stated that he would guard against Xu Hao. How could this be possible?From the perspective of the local media, Xu Hao is already a top-notch point guard in the league. The Thunder failed to defend him in the first two games, but he was able to do it in the third game?

But Xu Hao still took Brooks' words to heart.Although he has never been afraid of any defense, and even likes to fight against defenders on the offensive end, but seeing that Brooks means to completely block himself, maybe he has an idea in these two days. Among them, Xu Hao, the biggest variable of the Timberwolves, was settled.

Until the start of the game, none of the Thunder's players were interviewed by the media. Even media like ESPN and CBS, which cover the entire United States, were not given the opportunity to be interviewed, as if someone had issued a ban on them.But in fact, they did it spontaneously. For all Thunder players, including San Shao, it is completely inappropriate to talk. If you want to prove your strength, you must take corresponding actions. It is best to come A game of 20 or more kills.

Seeing that many media criticized them for refusing to interview, Brooks smiled. He knew exactly what his players were thinking and how angry they were.The goal they have set for themselves this season is to reach the Western Conference finals. If they overturn at this place, wouldn't they be in vain?
