Chapter 475 Returning to Point Guard
After finally surviving the press conference, McHale and Xu Hao left from the side door to the locker room one after the other, and they were silent all the way.McHale was not good at expressing his feelings, but Xu Hao felt that he had nothing to boast about.

When he was about to walk to the door of the locker room, McHale stopped suddenly. He didn't look back, but said in a low voice: "Chris, don't take those words that flatter you to heart. It's best to keep your own style of play. .”

Xu Hao smiled and said: "Coach, I understand this truth. Our ancient Chinese philosophy has thoughts and conclusions about this aspect. Don't worry, I'm fine. Next, I will use other ways to help team."

McHale hurriedly said: "Don't, let's look at the situation of the game first. If the team needs you to score, you have to shoulder the burden. I will let other people try to match your success rate as much as possible. We will try to win the sixth game. Kill the heat."

The two returned to the locker room, celebrated with the other Timberwolves players, and went home to sleep.In fact, the consumption of other players in this game is not small. Although they did not get many shots, whether it is covering, rebounding or other things, it is very exhausting. move?
Xu Hao also felt a little tired. Although he looked like a god in this game to others, only he knew how tired he was.The body does not lie. With Xu Hao's monster-level physical fitness, he will feel tired after the game, which is enough to show how much pressure he has encountered when facing the Heat's defense. This is no joke.

The next morning, McHale and his team flew directly to Miami. This time, everyone has adapted and started to catch up on sleep as soon as they got on the plane. However, Xu Hao couldn't fall asleep, so he could only close his eyes and start thinking about the next game. The strategy of the game.

It is absolutely impossible to score 70+ like chopping melons and vegetables like in the fifth game, even if the score is halved, it will be very difficult.The Heat's coach and players are not fools. They will not be willing to be a background board. Their opponents scored high points in two consecutive games, and they lost the game, and even lost the final championship.

So at that time Xu Hao and McHale said that they would use another way to help the team was not a joke, he was already mentally prepared to assist his teammates, which is what he did when Rubio had not joined.The reason why the Timberwolves failed at that time was mainly because the overall strength of the players was not good, but now they are the defending champions!

Xu Hao has always trusted his teammates. As long as they can seize the opportunity to put the ball into the basket and let the Timberwolves win easily, it doesn't matter if Xu Hao doesn't score for the whole game. To him, the team's victory is above all else.

While thinking about the problem, Xu Hao gradually fell asleep, and when he woke up, the plane had already begun to lower its altitude.This time, the Heat fans did not harass them at the airport. After getting off the plane, the Timberwolves players boarded the coach specially rented by the team and went to the hotel where they stayed. After lunch, they went back to their rooms and began to rest.Anyway, the match is tomorrow night, so it is the most important thing to seize the time to recharge your spirits at this time, so as not to become a weak chicken the next day.

This time, for the first time, Xu Hao did not conduct a simulated game against the Heat in the system. He could fight this opponent with his eyes closed. Even less, whoever can withstand this tone without letting up, who can grit his teeth and persist until the end in 48 minutes, this is hard power.

If we say that when the two sides played against each other in the finals last year, the outside world was still overwhelmingly optimistic about the Heat with a stronger and more mature core combination, then this time the Timberwolves have gained many fans. Many experts and fans firmly believe that they can win for the second consecutive year. champion.In their view, the Timberwolves' young core combination has not lost to the Heat's Big Three to some extent. More importantly, the Timberwolves continue to reinforce the original lineup with more sufficient salary space.

That is to say, the reputation of the Heat's Big Three can attract some powerful veterans to fight for the championship. Otherwise, their lineup will not have much advantage against the Timberwolves. Age is their most obvious shortcoming.The two games they won before basically benefited from the all-out efforts of the Big Three, and the substitute lineup could not do the Timberwolves at all.

Therefore, in McHale's view, the best way to play this game is to play the team's fast offensive and defensive style, using speed to drag down the opponent. In the second half of the game, the flaws of the Heat's average age will definitely be exposed. At that time, it will be the opportunity for the Timberwolves. .However, the Heat have one foot on the edge of the cliff now. Unwilling to fail, they will definitely go all out from the beginning of the game. This requires the Timberwolves to at least withstand their impact before they can talk about dragging down the opponent. Son.

Since this is the case, McHale intends to seek stability. He is going to let Xu Hao return to the first position. As for the second position, Sheved will play double control or Ellington will relieve Xu Hao's defensive pressure. Look at their respective performances.

It’s not that Rubio can’t play a point guard. His organizational ability, defensive ability and coquettish passing have really benefited the Timberwolves a lot, but perhaps because of Xu Hao’s existence, Rubio is more like a pure point guard, and It is also difficult to control the rhythm of the game.When it comes to how to lead the team to withstand the opponent's impact, Xu Hao is naturally more experienced than him.

Originally, McHale had prepared a whole lot of rhetoric to persuade Rubio, but when he put forward his idea, Rubio actually agreed after hesitating for a moment, holding back McHale's words.

In fact, this is because McHale is too concerned about gains and losses. Now is the critical moment for the championship. No matter what opinions the players have, the players usually plan to solve them internally. Discuss again.Besides, it's just a starting position, and it's not that the Timberwolves haven't changed their lineup this season.

Xu Hao has no opinion on the arrangement of the head coach. This is what he did when he first entered the league, and now he just returned to his familiar position.What's more, he was originally the field commander of the Timberwolves, whether it is the first position or the second position is not a problem for him.Since the coach wants him to switch to point guard again, let's play point guard. Anyway, no matter where he is, he is the most important threat to opponents that cannot be ignored.
