Chapter 387

After the Heat won the tiebreaker, the two teams in the finals were already determined. The entire 2011-12 season was coming to an end. The only remaining question was: Which team can finally win the championship for Orb? Ryan Cup?

The outside public opinion is almost one-sided. Except for the local media in Minnesota, no one is optimistic about the Timberwolves.In fact, the Minnesota media only expressed their support for the Timberwolves out of love for them. Only they know what the experts and reporters think.Indeed, in terms of overall hard power, the Timberwolves are far inferior to the Heat.

Many influential sports media covering the United States have written articles saying that the Big Three of the Heat will win their first championship after they fit together, and the odds on the betting website also clearly show this.Although the Timberwolves have a deep bench, the Heat are not bad. The reputation of the Big Three has attracted a large number of veterans, such as Battier and Turiaf.Although they are older, everyone has their own unique skills, and the depth of the team may not be worse than that of the Timberwolves.

Of course, the biggest gap between the two sides comes from the core combination.The Timberwolves' trio Rubio, Xu Hao and Love have proven their strengths, and the Timberwolves have no problem selecting them with high draft picks.However, a very important point is that their experience is not rich enough. Compared with the Big Three of the Heat, the three of them are still too young.

In addition, the Heat reached the finals last season. Although they lost in the end, they are also experienced.On the other hand, the Timberwolves, this is the first time they have reached the finals, and there is no way to talk about experience. The gap here is too big.

Therefore, it is normal for the outside world to be overwhelmingly optimistic about the Heat. The Timberwolves' strong elimination of the Spurs is indeed impressive, but almost everyone believes that their dark horse road this season will come to an end. Is it possible that they can continue to be dark?

"Crack!" Ellington slammed a newspaper on the chair and muttered, "Isn't this underestimating us? Why does it seem that any media thinks that we will definitely lose in the face of the Heat? I really don't believe this evil!"

Xu Hao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "They can talk whatever they want, let them fight if they like to talk, anyway, it depends on us to decide the outcome in the competition, who they are optimistic about is themselves It has nothing to do with us."

But Xu Hao said so, but he was actually very upset in his heart. Anyone who is arrogant and arrogant will not be in a good mood when he is unanimously looked down upon. Now Xu Hao only hopes that the finals will come soon. Immediately get on the court and have a good fight with the Big Three face to face. It is best to press them to the ground and rub them hard.

Almost at the same time, McHale was thinking hard in his office.Both Bosh and Wade can find suitable people to defend, but James is a huge bug. Do the Timberwolves really have players who can carry him?

It stands to reason that the Timberwolves have no shortage of outside defenders. Rubio, Xu Hao and Ellington have excellent defensive abilities, but the key problem is that their bodies are not as strong as James. You must know that the latter's body can compete with inside players. comparable existence.Any one of the three of them defends James, only to be crushed by him.

In fact, looking at the entire league, there are only a handful of players who can defend James one-on-one, and McHale did not regret trading Wesley for Korver.Even if Wesley's defensive ability is not bad, he definitely can't deal with James.

So how to limit James?McHale almost wanted to break his head. This is a problem of player allocation, and it will not be solved in a short while. The first thought in his mind is to fight against the Heat.The Heat's offense is almost supported by the Big Three, and others can't make too much contribution, which gives the Timberwolves enough opportunities.

If you look at the Eastern Conference finals, you will know that only those with a defense as strong as the Celtics have the opportunity to limit the Heat's offense, and they have not yet won the series.It can be seen from this that it is just wishful thinking to learn from the Celtics with the strength of the Timberwolves. If painting a tiger does not become an anti-dog, wouldn't it be a trap for yourself?He didn't want the team to be beaten to the ground immediately.

After much deliberation, McHale couldn't think of any other way, so he could simply fight against the Heat, which is what the Timberwolves are best at.Although they can't prevent the Heat, the Heat may not be able to prevent that group of wolf cubs!

After making a decision, McHale naturally had to communicate with the players.Everyone expressed their great support for the head coach's idea of ​​fighting against each other. Although the opponent is very strong, they also hope to use the same strong performance to face the difficulties.Xu Hao also supports this decision very much. This is what the Timberwolves are good at. You can't use your own weaknesses to defeat the other's strengths, right?

After the entire Timberwolves team reached an agreement, they immediately began to conduct targeted training in training sessions.The good news is that the Timberwolves' record is one game ahead of the Heat, which also gives them home court advantage in the finals, and they can wait for the Heat to come to challenge.At least in this way, the Timberwolves can have an advantage in physical fitness. After all, the Heat have played seven games. From the tiebreaker to the first game of the finals, they only have two days of rest to adjust their state.

In stark contrast to them, the Timberwolves are already waiting for work at the target center, just waiting to give the Heat a disarm.In order to achieve this goal, everyone worked very hard in training, and it seemed that every tactical running route was imprinted in the bone marrow.In order to defeat the Heat, all the crowd must work together, not just a few people.

Xu Hao is very satisfied with the positive attitude of his teammates, which is why he is full of confidence in defeating the Heat.Of course, he also maintained a cautious attitude towards this game. Winning cannot be achieved in one breath, let alone a top team in the league like the Heat.It is absolutely impossible to replicate the drama of defeating the Spurs single-handedly.

As long as the other players of the Timberwolves can give full play to their strengths and complete their tasks during the game, it is possible for the Timberwolves to defeat their opponents even though their overall strength is at a disadvantage.Of course, if everyone is just playing soy sauce on the court, let alone winning, if they are not slaughtered by double digits in every game by the Heat, they will be considered awesome if they are swept 4-0.

There is not much time left before the first game of the Finals. The Timberwolves players are almost ready, and each of them is eager for the game to start immediately.Didn't you say that the Heat are strong?Is it a mule or a horse coming out for a walk?
