After receiving the ball, Su Hao turned around and easily slammed it down.
"It's truly unbelievable. Very few people can dunk like that in a single round in a game of this level. It's like they're not treating their opponents like human beings."
In the next possession, James Harden dribbled the ball up the court and made a brilliant pass to Serge Ibaka in the paint.
"This is Ibaka, which is said to be 28cm."
He easily penetrated the paint, and once Su Hao was moved out of position, the entire interior defense became virtually nonexistent. This is why his presence in the paint is still so crucial.
Curry's traction is so great that whenever he starts dribbling, there's always someone able to stick close to him and defend him.
"Are you going to go and relentlessly press him one-on-one the entire game?"
Based on past experience, against such top-tier shooters, the only effective strategy is either to double-team them, or at least have someone constantly marking them – the deterrent effect is immense, even if it leaves others open. You have to shut them down; that's a fundamental point.
Westbrook of the Thunder is a defensive specialist. He takes the initiative to defend in many possessions. It's quite strange, but under Westbrook's defense, Curry's field goal percentage drops by 10% and his three-point field goal percentage drops by 20% this season.
"The key point is that Westbrook has very fast speed and strong physical qualities. He can always keep up with Curry's pace, and his physical condition is particularly good throughout the game."
After receiving the ball, Su Hao prepared for a one-on-one attack with a very simple and effective shoulder feint, which directly fooled his opponent. This is also the most distinctive feature of his technical ability this season.
"He passed the ball to the inside in two consecutive possessions, which shows that he is under a lot of pressure in the team right now."
As the current core of this team, Su Hao has no regrets. Even if it means handling an excessive amount of ball possession, he wants to be able to shoulder the responsibility. After all, if he's unwilling to take on the responsibility, who else can this team rely on?
Curry was being watched silently by Westbrook, with no chance to escape.
The worst part is that he scored 8 points in just 3 minutes on the court, with Su Hao making all four of his initial shots.
"This physical ability is simply too exaggerated. No one else can control it except someone with a height of 2.3 meters. It demonstrates dominance at very crucial moments."
After James Harden turned around, he used his stronger body and large butt to ram Curry into the basket and easily put the ball in.
"Haha, Curry is also very helpless, his teammates didn't come to help defend."
In the next possession, Curry dribbled over and went one-on-one with Harden. At this point, his ability to dribble and shoot threes was at its peak. Two consecutive step-backs were very easy for him. More importantly, no one could see how flashy his footwork was at this moment.
Su Hao was completely bewildered as he watched; this was a combination of having and not having the ball.
Durant is even more alert to this. If he finds his rhythm for three-pointers again, it will be much more difficult to limit Curry.
