Chapter 403 Dreaming 2006
The Heat don't want to lose, and the Timberwolves also don't want to suffer a defeat in the expectant eyes of the home fans.Before the start of the fourth quarter, McHale waved his arms to encourage the players: "14 points is not a big gap, only 5 three-pointers are needed to overtake the score, we still have 12 minutes, completely Can complete the comeback!"

Inspired by the head coach Chicken Soup, coupled with the fact that the Heat only let Bosh play with a substitute lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves quickly narrowed the point difference to 6 points, and it happened to be 3 three-pointers. Linton and Korver.McHale cocked his legs in his position, and he was very proud: the Heat came back strong, didn't they come back all at once?
However, just as he was complacent, Spoelstra released the two tigers, James and Wade.It’s okay for James to say that in this game, he was basically playing as a point forward, but Wade was different. He was the soul of the Heat. Under such circumstances, he had to work hard to support himself. Here comes the team.

After his appearance, Wade's hot touch still didn't seem to cool down. If the emergency stop jump shot after the breakthrough was magically assisted, no matter who stood in front of him, he couldn't stop him from making an easy shot. All this made Wade seem to have returned to 5 years ago.

At that time, he was also standing in the finals, but he was surrounded by players such as O'Neal, Walker and Posey, and standing in front of them was the Mavericks led by Nowitzki.Although the Mavericks with a better record started 2-0, after returning to Miami, Wade suddenly broke out and won three games in a row. In the sixth game, he moved to Dallas. He scored 36 points and 10 rebounds again and led the Heat to win the championship. He himself also won the Finals MVP with an outstanding performance of 34.7 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.

On that arena, the Flash, who was still very young at the time, galloped freely, with no one in front of him, and the Mavericks' defense line was torn to pieces by him, and he could only watch in despair as he kept going deep into the basket to score the ball. How similar it is to the present situation!The only difference is that the Heat were leading then, but now they are standing on the edge of a cliff.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, McHale quickly changed into the main lineup. Love and DeAndre Jordan, two very dangerous guys with four fouls, were also put on the court.At this time, there is no need to think about whether they will be kicked off the court soon. If they don't protect the basket, the Timberwolves' inside line will be cut into pieces by Wade. In that case, no matter how hard they try, it will be useless.

However, in the face of Love and Jordan's blocking, Wade showed no fear. He even strengthened the physical confrontation at the basket instead of relying on shooting in the middle distance to solve the problem.Almost every time he breaks through to the back, he hits a layup against Love or Jordan, slippery like a loach, and many of those who try to prevent him from scoring get fouled.

Xu Hao had no desire to go up to defend at all. Now that Wade has gone crazy, his going up to defend is useless except to send free throws to the opponent. The best way is to fight against him, which may save the Timberwolves.

But facing Biao is not such an easy thing to do. The Heat directly launched a lethal defensive tactic against him. They would rather foul themselves than let Xu Hao score. Anyway, there are still many people sitting on the bench now, and everyone can make a difference. contribute.

And tonight's luck didn't seem to be on Xu Hao's side either.In the previous games, not to mention his proficiency in hitting three-pointers or even four-pointers, at least half or even two-thirds of his hits were effective. But tonight at his home court, Xu Hao at most caused fouls and made free throws. After two free throws at the line, it's completely luck to hit a three-pointer, let alone a four-pointer.

If it weren't for the outstanding performance of the teammates, the Timberwolves would probably have been beaten. Even so, their situation is not much better now.The offense didn't have as much firepower as the Heat, and the defense couldn't restrain Wade, so he could barely hold his breath.McHale didn't plan to let the role players last the rest of the time, and the home fans were all watching here!
Seeing that the home team is not doing well, the Timberwolves fans are getting louder and louder. Their idea is very simple, that is to motivate the players to fight on the field. There are still seven or eight minutes left. In their opinion, the matter has not yet reached the point where it cannot be resolved. Degree.

It's a pity that the cheers of the fans didn't help the Timberwolves take the lead. Wade's performance was really amazing. His personal score continued to rise, and the Heat's offense was also in full swing. The Timberwolves couldn't stand it at all.McHale sighed, and slumped in his seat. He had already planned to give up this game, and he couldn't see any hope at all.

In the end, the Timberwolves lost the game 90 to 103 at home, and from the perspective of the entire game, they had almost no fight back.This made the media who blew the Timberwolves into the sky before the game feel very embarrassed. In their view, it is almost unquestionable that the Timberwolves won the Heat at home, but they just lost. How is this reasonable?

Xu Hao also felt very helpless. Of course, he really wanted to end this round of the series immediately, win the championship trophy, and then have a championship parade, so that he could start his vacation.But the Heat seem to be quite tenacious. Under the leadership of the Big Three, they always held their breath and did not fall. Such a team is undoubtedly terrible, and they may even be turned over by them.

Of course, McHale was even more helpless. Even with a great situation leading 3-1, the Heat actually won another game. He was also afraid that he would be nailed to the pillar of shame, winning 3-1 in the finals and then being reversed. The results were far more serious.But he is also not good at criticizing the players. He knows that these boys have done a good job, but the opponent is too strong.

In an interview with reporters, McHale attributed the loss to Wade's outburst. He said: "Dwayne has always been an outstanding player, but tonight I saw the man who helped the Heat win their first championship in team history. That him. We lost the game, but kudos to him, he was the real core of the Heat, he played really well."

"We have a lot of good perimeter defenders among our players, Ricky, Wayne and Chris are all, but Wade taught us a lesson, no defense is invulnerable, as long as the opponent is strong enough, it can break this. Fan cage."

But in the end McHale said firmly: "I admit that the Heat are very strong, but we are not weak. It is only 3 to 2 now. We still have a chance to win the championship. Isn't the next game in Miami? Let's go." Watch!"
