475 Su Hao screens for Curry to shoot a three-pointer!
475 Su Hao screens for Curry to shoot a three-pointer!
Upon hearing this, Curry quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, Coach, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to tell you that I feel great right now and can continue playing."
The second quarter officially began with the referee's whistle.
The Clippers made a substitution, taking off three players and replacing them with a new lineup: Paul George, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Anthony Foye.
The Heat then put Wade back into the game.
When he saw Wade return to the court, Su Hao immediately walked over to him and greeted him in a friendly manner: "Hey, Dwyane, it looks like you've recovered quite well! That's great, we don't want you to suffer from injuries while losing games!" Su Hao said with a smile to Wade.
Wade responded with a laugh, "Haha, thanks for your concern, Su Hao. But don't think you can easily beat us like this!" After saying that, he took the serve from Bosh and prepared to get back into the game.
After receiving the ball, Wade quickly dribbled past his opponent.
He was incredibly fast, like lightning, and instantly overtook the defender.
He doesn't look like he's just been injured at all.
Foye stayed close to him, but Wade faked him out and jumped to shoot.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air and swished through the net.
The Heat's bench erupted in cheers, applauding Wade's outstanding performance.
The Heat's momentum surged, and the players' confidence soared.
Aldridge immediately inbounded the ball from the baseline, and it came into Curry's hands.
Curry didn't have many good shooting opportunities against Wade's close defense.
Seizing the opportunity, he lobbed the ball high to Su Hao, who was standing at the free-throw line.
After receiving the ball, Su Hao pretended to shoot, and Bosh, who was on defense, actually thought that Su Hao was going to shoot.
Unable to resist, he pounced on her.
The two collided head-on.
The whistle blew, and Bosh committed a defensive foul.
Su Hao had already made a shooting motion.
The referee held up two fingers, indicating two free throws.
Su Hao stood at the free-throw line and teased Bosh beside him with a smile, "You bastard, I just tried to glance at the basket, and you got this excited?"
Bosh stood to the side, looking aggrieved.
If Aldridge hadn't replaced Su Hao at center, why would I have bothered guarding Su Hao?
Due to the Clippers' lineup change, Su Hao was directly moved to the power forward position.
Bosh currently plays power forward for the Heat.
This really made him feel incredibly wronged.
Su Hao calmly converted the first penalty.
The home fans chanted their familiar slogan in unison: "Clippers for the championship! Su Hao for MVP!"
He took the basketball from the referee again and made his second free throw.
The Heat players quickly launched a counterattack. After inbounding the ball, Wade dribbled straight to the frontcourt.
Facing Curry's one-on-one defense, Wade revealed a confident smile, clearly intending to take on the opponent one-on-one.
After several feints and shake-ups, he successfully left Curry behind and prepared to force his way through for a layup.
However, just as he was about to rush towards the basket, Su Hao suddenly rushed out from the side and blocked Wade's path.
Upon seeing Su Hao appear before him, Wade immediately stopped in his tracks.
He didn't want to have another physical confrontation with Su Hao, after all, the previous collision had taught him a profound lesson about what it meant to "blow an egg against a rock."
After stopping, Wade decided to pass the ball back to James on the outside.
Upon receiving the pass, James did not hesitate and charged straight for the basket.
At this moment, the defender under the basket was no longer Su Hao, but the young rookie Aldridge.
James drove to the basket, collided head-on with Aldridge, and completed a powerful dunk.
James was ecstatic after scoring, and even imitated Shaquille O'Neal's signature swagger.
He excitedly pounded his chest and stomped his feet, shouting loudly at the audience to vent his inner joy.
Wade immediately went over to James and high-fived him in celebration.
The Heat players on the bench were shouting excitedly, constantly cheering on their teammates.
As a rookie player who had just joined the league, Aldridge was filled with frustration and self-blame for not being able to defend the opponent's offense as well as Su Hao had.
He silently picked up the basketball that had fallen to the ground and then passed it to Curry.
Curry dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt, once again facing Wade's tight defense.
He carefully observed his opponent, who was staring intently at him, then jogged to the basket with the ball in one hand and circled the rim, but still couldn't find an ideal scoring opportunity.
At this moment, Su Hao was standing at the free throw line, quietly waiting for Curry to pass him the ball.
However, Curry showed no intention of passing the ball and suddenly changed tactics.
Surprisingly, Su Hao actually went to the outside to set a screen for Curry.
With Su Hao's skillful cover, Curry finally found a shooting opportunity that satisfied him.
Wade was firmly blocked by Su Hao's solid body, and Bosh, who originally wanted to step forward to help defend, was already too late.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air, flying straight towards the basket like an arrow released from a bow.
Finally, the basketball landed steadily in the basket.
Seeing this, Curry excitedly spat out his braces and flashed a bright smile.
Curry smiled smugly, then turned to look at Su Hao, a hint of cunning and mischief in his eyes.
He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and said with a smile, "Your screens are still the best! It wasn't that I didn't want to pass you the ball, it's just that your receiving position wasn't very good!"
Upon hearing this, Su Hao's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
He exclaimed, "You idiot, you don't want to pass the ball, and you blame me for being in a bad position? Have you ever missed a single pass from me?"
He knew in his heart that Curry was just making excuses; he actually wanted to shoot himself.
But as a teammate, he could only shake his head helplessly and express his understanding.
Curry chuckled, a sly glint in his eyes.
He knew very well that if Su Hao hadn't noticed his intention in time and stepped forward to screen for him, that three-pointer wouldn't have gone in so easily.
After all, the opponent's defense was very tight, and Curry's shooting space was compressed to the extreme.
Thinking of this, Curry glanced gratefully at Su Hao and then gave him a thumbs up.
Although he wouldn't admit it, he knew in his heart that this successful attack was inseparable from Su Hao's support and cooperation.
