PNB 550, you really didn't exceed the time limit!
550, you really didn't exceed the time limit!
Just as everyone was preparing to leave the field.
Perkins, who had just been standing under the backboard, suddenly started yelling at the referee.
This left everyone present completely bewildered.
"Are you kidding me?! The game is already half over, and you're still trying to cause trouble?" David Lee glared angrily at Perkins.
The three referees quickly stepped forward to explain that Su Hao's goal was a perfectly valid one.
However, Perkins insisted on harping on the fact that the ball was out of time.
Just then, the video replay started showing the scene of Su Hao dunking.
The video replay clearly shows that the red light on the timer on the rim lit up immediately after Su Hao successfully dunked.
Without careful observation, it's really impossible to tell whether Su Hao dunked first or the red light came on first.
However, the three referees ignored Perkins.
However, the spectators on the sidelines began to discuss whether Su Hao's shot had exceeded the time limit.
Even his teammates started teasing him.
"Su Hao, judging from the video replay, your dunk just now really did seem to exceed the time limit!" Curry said with a smile as he looked at Su Hao.
Su Hao said calmly, "My shot didn't exceed the time limit. If you don't believe me, you'll see the correct system analysis in a moment!"
Sure enough, just as everyone was discussing the matter, Jia Wei in the backstage control room began to comment on Su Hao's dunk.
As the video replay was slowed down frame by frame, it became clear that the red light only came on after Su Hao dunked the basketball.
Without slow motion, it's practically impossible to see this clearly with the naked eye.
Jia Wei also thought that Su Hao's dunk was very clean and crisp, and did not exceed the time limit at all.
Perkins, who had just returned to the bench, complained to his teammates and coach.
Head coach Brooks almost went to argue with the referee.
Fortunately, the video replay of the scene was available in time.
"Hey! Let's get back to the locker room!" Brooks shouted to his teammates behind him.
Upon hearing this, Durant and his teammates quickly returned to the locker room.
The Clippers players, on the other hand, began returning to the locker room immediately after the end of the second quarter.
"Su Hao really didn't go over time on that play, isn't that amazing!" Coach Zhang said with a big laugh.
"He's really impressive. I misjudged him just now!" Yang Yi said self-deprecatingly.
The live stream chat was filled with comments supporting Su Hao.
Su Hao, you're the best!
[Yang Yi, do you even know how to watch a game? If not, then replace him!]
Back in the locker room, the Thunder players all looked dejected.
With his head drooped.
Through the first half of the game, they once again witnessed the Clippers' prowess.
Even in this game, their outside shooting touch remained pretty good.
They were still unable to maintain the score gap with the Clippers.
Seeing his players lose their spirit, Coach Brooks immediately shouted into the room, "Cheer up! We haven't lost the game yet! There's still half a quarter left! I believe you can beat them!"
Coach Brooks was clearly nervous when he said that.
In fact, he himself was well aware of the gap between the two teams.
The outside shooting is manageable; no matter how many three-pointers Curry makes...
That's a matter of probability.
Our own team can still pay back.
However, Su Hao's huge advantage in the paint is a gap that the Thunder cannot bridge at all.
For the Thunder, this hole in their interior defense is simply impossible to fill.
Perkins is almost driven to despair by Su Hao's beatings.
Even Ibaka, who has good defensive support capabilities, was tormented by Su Hao to no end.
In the corner, Durant remained silent, only gnawing on his nails.
Harden and Westbrook both looked very downcast.
The Thunder's "Big Three" are currently in a deep slump.
On the Clippers' side, some players in the locker room have already started preparing for the arrangements after the game.
"Shall we grab a drink after the game?" Curry asked Su Hao with a smile.
Su Hao replied casually, "The competition isn't over yet! And you're already thinking about having a drink?"
"Is there any suspense left in this game? In my opinion, the Thunder won't be able to cause any major trouble in the second half, and victory will ultimately belong to us!" Curry said confidently.
After a short break, the two sides began the third quarter.
On the court, the Clippers' beautiful cheerleaders quickly left.
Players from both sides appear.
The score difference between the two sides has now reached 20 points.
For the Thunder, there was no way out.
If they can't catch up in the third quarter...
The fourth quarter will become garbage time.
The Thunder maintained their starting lineup.
The Clippers replaced David Lee with Aldridge.
At the start of the game, Westbrook chose to hand the ball to Durant.
Rasul Butler, who was originally standing in front of Durant, was suddenly replaced by Su Hao.
Seeing this, Durant, who had originally intended to go for a one-on-one play, suddenly hesitated.
When he saw that David Lee hadn't come on, he thought Aldridge was coming to switch onto him.
Unexpectedly, the player he faced off against in the very first round was Rasul Butler.
This made him even more eager to play one-on-one.
The result was completely different from what he had expected.
Now Su Hao is the one guarding him.
Looking at Su Hao, who stood before him like a wall, he felt as if he were standing there.
Durant wanted to use his speed to shake off Su Hao.
After a series of changes of direction, he suddenly realized that he couldn't shake off Su Hao at all.
Despite weighing 400 pounds, Su Hao somehow gave Durant the illusion of speed.
It felt as if he wasn't even as fast as Su Hao.
Just as Durant dribbled the ball to a point a step from the free-throw line, intending to take a mid-range shot.
Su Hao had reappeared directly in front of him, arms raised high, leaving Durant no room to make a move.
To prove his scoring ability, he reluctantly took a step-back shot.
After the basketball left Durant's hands, it was ruthlessly intercepted by Su Hao in mid-air.
"How could he be stopped like that? Durant clearly set his shot arc very high, yet he still couldn't dodge Su Hao's interception!" Miller exclaimed.
Durant was completely stunned when he saw his attack being intercepted by Su Hao.
He himself did not expect that he would be successfully shut down by Su Hao in his first matchup.
This kind of defense was something he had never experienced since entering the NBA.
In previous games against the Clippers, even when he had faced Su Hao, he had never encountered such a predicament.
