"Su Hao is really capable; he won back the score we just lost so quickly!" Gordon said excitedly.
“What you’re saying is obvious. We all know he’s capable, so what you’re saying is just stating the obvious!” David Lee retorted.
Su Hao shook his head helplessly upon hearing this. His strength wasn't something he could demonstrate with words!
The timeout ends and the game continues.
The Clippers' beautiful cheerleaders began to leave the court.
From the start, the Bulls executed the tactics their head coach had just laid out. This time, it wasn't Rose holding the ball on the perimeter; instead, Luol Deng passed it to Noah.
The latter held the ball at the top of the arc, raising the basketball high with both hands, his eyes constantly searching for his teammates' positions.
Through off-the-ball movement, Rose bypassed Gordon's defense and reached his designated receiving position. Noah immediately passed the ball to him.
The latter received the ball and immediately shot.
"Shh!"
A crisp sound rang out, and the ball went in.
The Bulls' tactical coordination was very successful, and Rose successfully finished the play.
"The Bulls are still pretty good. Their teamwork is quite good. It seems that the timeout was timely and effective," Su Qun said with a smile, looking at the situation on the court.
"Yes, but it's only a temporary setback. The competition has only just begun!" Yang Yi chimed in.
"I think the Bulls players should maintain this form and momentum and continue to work hard," Sukhomlinsky added.
"That's right, but the Clippers are not to be trifled with, after all, they still have a lead of more than ten points," Yang Yi reminded them.
"Well, hopefully the Bulls can withstand the Clippers' offense, because offense alone is useless without defense," Coach Zhang said.
“Yes, if we can’t defend against the opponent’s attack, then our own attack will also be affected,” Yang Yi agreed.
"Let's make it in if we can! It's better than not being able to defend or score!" Coach Zhang emphasized again.
"Yes, only by doing well in both offense and defense can we win the game," Yang Yi concluded.
"Then let's look forward to the Bulls' next performance!" Su Qun said.
After Rose scored that basket, the Clippers quickly inbounded the ball from the baseline.
The ball was passed to Curry, who dribbled up the court and faced Bogans, who was guarding him. With just a glance from Curry, Su Hao immediately understood his intention and stepped forward without hesitation to set a screen for him.
With Su Hao's massive frame providing cover, Curry gained ample space to shoot.
However, just when everyone thought he would shoot a three-pointer, Curry suddenly changed direction and passed the ball to Su Hao.
After receiving the ball, Su Hao strode towards the basket.
At this moment, Boozer and Noah, who wanted to come to defend, had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as Su Hao jumped up and then delivered a powerful dunk over them in mid-air!
The whistle blew!
"Who was fouled? I didn't see it clearly!" Yang Yi stared intently at the screen, muttering to himself.
The referee signaled that Noah had committed a foul.
Through slow-motion replay, it can be clearly seen that just as Su Hao got up to dunk, Noah and Boozer, in order to prevent him from scoring, actually pulled Su Hao's jersey from behind under Boozer's screen.
After Su Hao landed with a dunk, he was panting heavily, but his eyes were fixed on Noah standing under the basket.
The close-up shot clearly shows that Su Hao's jersey has been torn in a large hole, revealing the black vest underneath.
"Are you kidding me?! Su Hao's jersey got ripped by the opponent again! This is too outrageous!" Yang Yi said in surprise.
"They really resort to dirty tricks when they can't defend! Is this still a basketball game? It's practically a wrestling match!" Su Qun said angrily.
"We strongly demand that Noah be severely punished! This guy is clearly not a good person; he's been up to too many dirty tricks!" netizens commented one after another.
"His jersey was torn to shreds, but it still couldn't stop Su Hao from scoring! That's really ruthless!" More netizens joined the discussion.
In the Tencent live stream, fans kept refreshing the comments, expressing their indignation and condemnation of Noah's behavior.
They believe that such malicious fouls not only harm the players' bodies, but also undermine the fairness and entertainment value of the game.
At the same time, they also highly praised Su Hao's performance, commending him for remaining calm in the face of tough defense and responding to the opponent's provocations with an outstanding performance.
The referee signaled for Su Hao to step up to the free throw line.
Amid cheers from all the fans in the stadium, Su Hao calmly stepped onto the free-throw line.
He took a deep breath and gently tossed the ball with both hands.
The ball traced a beautiful arc in the air and swished through the net.
Thunderous applause and cheers erupted immediately, seemingly about to burst through the roof.
Su Hao glanced at Noah expressionlessly, then turned and went back to defend.
At this point, only a few minutes remained in the second quarter, but the Clippers still maintained a lead of more than ten points.
The Bulls continued to execute their tactics, attempting to narrow the score gap.
Noah still held the ball high up the court, while his teammates moved and ran quickly, trying to find the best scoring opportunity through flexible and varied positional changes.
However, they have lost confidence in the paint because Boozer is completely unable to find his scoring touch against Su Hao.
To prevent Rose from receiving the ball, Gordon and Curry worked closely together to tightly surround him.
This made it impossible for Rose to find a suitable opportunity to receive the ball, forcing him to constantly search for openings in the crowd.
Ultimately, Noah had no choice but to pass the ball to Ruhr Deng, who was not in an ideal position.
The latter forced a buzzer-beating three-pointer from the corner against Rasul Butler's defense.
The basketball slammed heavily onto the backboard after passing over the opponent's head.
The players from both sides jumped almost simultaneously under the basket, trying to grab the rebound.
However, relying on his formidable strength, which earned him the nickname "The Hulk," Su Hao easily got ahead of his opponents and secured the defensive rebound first.
In mid-air, Su Hao accurately passed the ball to Curry on the outside.
After receiving the ball, the latter quickly turned around and dashed forward like lightning.
Su Hao followed closely behind, and their seamless teamwork left their opponents helpless.
Facing an unguarded basket, everyone thought Curry would score without hesitation, but unexpectedly, Curry did not choose to attack alone, but cleverly passed the ball to Su Hao, who was right behind him.
After receiving the ball, Su Hao dashed toward the basket like an arrow.
He leaped high, displaying amazing explosiveness and coordination in the air, and then slammed the ball into the basket with a powerful one-handed putback dunk.
The basketball spun around the rim a few times, as if taunting its opponent, before finally landing steadily in the net.
