Chapter 479 The Same Ending
The rest time ended soon. Before playing, McHale finally told: "I know everyone is very tired now, but no matter how tired you are, it is only a matter of one game. As long as you play the performance in the first quarter, victory will be ours." of!"

Except for Xu Hao, the Timberwolves players were all cheered up. They had some symptoms of backache and leg weakness, but now they are almost healed.As McHale said, how tired can you be?After surviving this period, the season will be over successfully. Even if you drain all your energy, won't the next long offseason be enough for you to recover?

So after the game started, the Heat saw a group of real wolves.The Timberwolves did not rush to start the offense, but defended first. As soon as they came up, they defended a full-court press, and made the Heat a 24-second violation, which gave them a blow.The Timberwolves players ran wildly on the court at all costs, which made James and Wade feel very uncomfortable.

The most important thing is that the Timberwolves players did not commit too many fouls in previous games. Jordan had the most personal fouls only three times. This gave them the confidence to strengthen their defense, and physical confrontations were commonplace.

According to the unspoken rules of the NBA, at critical moments in key games, players are generally allowed to decide the game. Referees will only call fouls that seem obvious, and they will turn a blind eye to other actions that can be blown or not.

The Timberwolves' strong defense drew boos from the fans, who were very angry because the visiting team was treating their favorite players in the simplest and rudest way.However, their booing had no effect on the Timberwolves. Xu Hao and the others still insisted on their strategy on the defensive end. Anyway, the more they made the home fans unhappy, the more they would do.

Under the oppressive defense of the Timberwolves, the Heat's offense became stumbling, and they could only score with James and Bosh's singles with the ball in the low post.However, their strong play in this position did not have the desired effect. Jordan didn't care about the fouls on his back at all. As long as he had the opportunity, he would definitely try to give them hot pot.

Due to the exhaustion of a lot of energy on the defensive end, the Timberwolves' offense was also affected, but McHale on the sidelines didn't care, because they still had Xu Hao, a tireless guy who could score.The reason why Sheved and Xu Hao are partnered as shooting guards is to allow him to take over the task of organizing the offense at critical moments and liberate Xu Hao.

Now is obviously the critical moment of the game, McHale yelled a few words into the field, and gave instructions to the players with a code that only the Timberwolves knew.Xu Hao and Sheved looked at each other and nodded slightly. When it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack again, it was no longer Xu Hao who brought the ball across the half court, but Sheved in the second position.

Before the Heat players could react, Xu Hao had already appeared in the unguarded right corner under the cover of Love and Jordan, and the basketball was passed to him by Sheved just right.Everyone has seen the next scene countless times. Xu Hao ignored Haslem who came to defend him, and Shi Shiran hit a three-pointer.

With Shved as a combo guard responsible for passing the ball, Xu Hao completely exploded. The Heat seemed to have seen the God who scored 71 points in the last game.What makes it difficult for them to accept is that almost every shot Xu Hao takes is a three-pointer, and he can always get open shots with his weird and coquettish movement and the help of his teammates under strict defense.

At such a critical moment, Xu Hao maximized his ability to move without the ball.He seems to have returned to the days when he partnered with Harden and led Arizona State to be invincible. At that time, he was constantly switching between on-ball and off-ball modes, choosing the best way for the team.But this time, Xu Hao chose to attack without the ball.

But this time Xu Hao didn't need to carry all the burden on his shoulders, because his teammates also shared a lot of pressure.After being criticized by McHale, and seeing how brave the substitutes came on the court, the main players are not willing to be underestimated. Since the shooting feel is not good, try to pass the ball to the place closest to the basket, so that Got it.

In less than 4 minutes, Xu Hao scored 9 points and 4 assists, leading the Timberwolves to a 15-6 spurt and widening the point difference to double digits again.This kind of offensive efficiency made the Heat players anxious. Their movements gradually increased, and Xu Hao's running position became more and more difficult, but this was not enough to stop him.

For a long time, in addition to strengthening his physical fitness, Xu Hao also focused on strength training.Although his muscles are not as big as James and Wade, in fact, his confrontation ability is top-notch at the same position, and he can even compete with some inside players.Although the Heat worked hard to prevent him from running out of the gap, Xu Hao was still able to push the opponent to the side after the confrontation with a small move that was difficult for the referee to detect, and then received a pass from his teammate and hit a shot.

The score difference between the two sides has always been around 10 points, but time has passed by, leaving fewer and fewer opportunities for the Heat.In the end, they simply used foul tactics, hoping to interrupt the rhythm of the Timberwolves, but Xu Hao and the others took every shot from the free throw line, making Spoelstra couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of old blood.

What is even more tragic is that the Heat themselves did not seize the opportunity to create a small climax, and could only become more and more desperate as time went by.The Heat fans at the scene seemed to have a premonition of something. They no longer cheered for the home team unscrupulously. They sat in their seats as if they had lost their souls. Banners and slogans had long been collected under the seats.

When the time entered the last minute, many fans' eyes were red. They finally realized that the team they supported this season will lose again to their old opponents from last season.However, Spoelstra still did not replace the main force. This is the last game for the Heat this season. James and the others all hope to stay on the court until the last moment.

After all, time came to an end bit by bit. When the final whistle sounded, most of the Heat fans were crying, and the players stood blankly on the sidelines. They still couldn't believe it.For two consecutive seasons, they lost 2-4 to the same opponent. Is there anything more tragic than this?But the Timberwolves players don't care how sad their opponents are. Now is the time for them to celebrate their victory. This is two consecutive championships!
