Chapter 466
To be honest, the outcome of this game did not surprise the onlookers, but they did not expect the Timberwolves to win so easily.After the game, Timberwolves fans expressed their confidence in the home team. In their view, as long as the players can perform normally, they can smash the Heat on the ground like last year and win another championship.

However, McHale still seemed very humble in the interview. He first affirmed the strength of the Heat, and then said that the reason why the Timberwolves were able to win the game was entirely because they were in a very good state.Such a routine answer made the reporters present roll their eyes: Please, old man, can you say something different next time?It's annoying to always be so perfunctory!

McHale directly ignored their grievances, and saving his character was more important to him.Although I feel in my heart that the Timberwolves should be able to win the championship, on the surface, they still have a harmless expression of "we really just got lucky", fearing that they will kill themselves because of being too confident.In that case, it is estimated that McHale will not forgive himself.

After the press conference, the Timberwolves players almost packed up their things and went home to sleep. However, a text message arrived on their mobile phones very quickly. The content of the text messages was the same: Please go to the team training hall at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon For training, you must not be absent. Those who are late will be punished. As for the punishment, you can try it...

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. This is rare in the Timberwolves' preparation plan. Generally, in this situation where only one day of rest is allowed between two games, the team will choose to give the players a holiday, let them rest at home, and strive to recover. best condition.But this time McHale didn't play the cards according to the rules, and actually arranged training for the players?
Fortunately, the Timberwolves' execution ability is very strong. Although they are a little confused, the head coach must not be so tasteless to joke with everyone.Since the training is required, then come there obediently, God knows what the punishment the coach said is.

After a night and a morning of rest, Xu Hao appeared at the entrance of the training hall full of energy. He was curious why the coach would have to practice extra at such an important moment.When the Timberwolves played in the finals last season, they did not try to arrange training on the only rest day between the two games. Is the head coach going to play some black technology in the next game?

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was already in position, and some players who arrived earlier had completed their warm-up.At this time, McHale walked into the training hall calmly. He was very satisfied with the mental state of the players. He knocked on the tactical board and said loudly: "You guys did a good job in the first game, but this is not enough. Hopefully it will be easier to win. Before I set the task, let me ask you a question, what is our biggest advantage on the offensive end?"

The answer to this question is naturally varied. Some say it is tactical execution, while others say it is the depth of the bench. However, in the end McHale agreed with Ellington: "Wayne is right, I think our three-pointers are sharp enough. , and the Heat's perimeter defense is also difficult to pose a threat to us, so I hope to use the three-point rain to extinguish this pile of flames."

In fact, McHale is right. The Timberwolves' three-point shooting is very sharp. This season, they lead the league in the three statistics of three-point attempts, hits and shooting percentage. Naturally, such a powerful weapon should be fully utilized.

Xu Hao obviously agrees with McHale's idea, because he is the best outside shooter in the team. Now the head coach requires more shots from beyond the three-point line, which is undoubtedly in line with Xu Hao's style.No one else thought that the coach was making things difficult for everyone. The Timberwolves usually emphasized three-pointers in daily training, but now they just took it a step further.

In the following training, as long as the players with shooting range almost all tried to shoot from outside the three-point line, of course most of them were just pretending, and it was the outside shooters headed by Xu Hao who really got the scene.Especially Korver, who has the top ability to run off the ball and catch three-pointers, according to McHale's idea, he will become an important part.

After practicing three-point shooting, it is natural to practice tactical running positions. The tactical running positions McHale arranges for the players have only two purposes, either to open up space to create opportunities for teammates, or to find gaps to catch and shoot.

For the Timberwolves players with strong tactical execution and understanding ability, this is not a difficult thing to do. In addition, Xu Hao and Rubio are strategizing on the court. After a few rounds, everyone runs in style. .Even Xu Hao, as the commander, got a lot of mobile phone opportunities instead of constantly sending nanny assists to his teammates.

It was not until 05:30 in the afternoon that McHale stopped the training, let the players disband, and went directly to rest.McHale is very satisfied with the training effect this time, and he believes that he can teach the Heat a profound lesson in the future.In fact, the Heat are also consciously strengthening their three-point shooting. The introduction of Battier and Ray Allen is the best proof. Who gave them two top breakthrough players in the league?However, what the Timberwolves have to do is to shoot more and more accurately than them.

After returning home, Xu Hao opened the game video while eating, and he was most concerned about the level of the Heat's perimeter defense. Don't wait until they are ready to shoot three-pointers. There is a big lock on the branch line.Although this does not mean that the Timberwolves will lose, it will always have some impact.

Now McHale has set the tone of the game, and shooting three-pointers has been engraved in the hearts of the Timberwolves players. At this time, they suddenly give up their established plans. It will definitely take some time to adapt. It is reflected in the tactical system. Chaos.With the Heat's ability to make mistakes and find opportunities, the Timberwolves' chaos is to deliver food to their opponents.

After watching the video, Xu Hao fell into deep thought. Judging from the video alone, the Heat's perimeter defense is indeed not difficult to deal with, but when it comes to the game, he still doesn't know what's going on.Xu Hao is confident in his shooting, but he doesn't know if his teammates can handle it. As long as he can avoid being intercepted by the opponent, there is no big problem.

After turning off the computer, Xu Hao took a shower, threw himself on the bed, and began to play against the Heat again and again in the system. He still had to win the second home game, and he still had to go to the away game with 2-0. Very cool.
