PNB 469. Wade's inexplicable confidence!
469. Wade's inexplicable confidence!
Amidst enthusiastic cheers from the audience, the players from both sides took to the field and quickly found their positions.
The Clippers' starting lineup included Curry, Gordon, Rasul Butler, David Lee, and Su Hao.
The Heat's starting lineup consisted of Joel Anthony, Chris Bosh, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Mike Bibby.
As Su Hao brushed past the Heat players, Wade couldn't help but say to him, "I really didn't expect that we'd have our second matchup of the season so soon. We don't want to lose to you again this time!"
Su Hao smiled slightly after hearing this and replied, "The outcome of the competition isn't determined by you alone; it requires real strength to win!"
At this moment, Bosh stepped forward and said confidently, "We have the strength! The last game was just because we had just formed the team and hadn't had time to fully integrate the lineup. But after these games, we are no longer the same. Just you wait and see!"
Su Hao smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he turned his gaze to James, who was standing to the side.
Seeing this, James smiled and nodded, indicating his agreement with his teammate's statement.
However, Curry was not happy about it.
"Did you guys think you could beat us just because you've won a lot of games recently? We're the only undefeated team this season! You think you can beat us so easily?" Curry's words were full of disdain.
He believes his team is strong and will not be easily defeated by opponents.
The players from both sides took their positions and prepared to begin the match.
Su Hao and Joel Anthony stood in midfield, ready for the jump ball.
This time, the Heat made some adjustments; they did not start Haslem.
This change has attracted the attention of the audience, who are all curious about its impact on the Heat.
In fact, the Heat's change was successful.
With their excellent teamwork and individual skills, they won the next eight games, achieving an eight-game winning streak.
This greatly boosted the team's morale and proved that their strength should not be underestimated.
Today, the two teams meet again, with the Heat hoping to use this game to test the chemistry between their players over this period. They are eager to continue their winning streak and demonstrate their strength to the world.
The Clippers, on the other hand, hope to maintain their winning streak and demonstrate their dominance.
The match officially began as the referee tossed the ball high between the two players.
Both teams gave their all and engaged in a fierce battle.
The atmosphere on the field was tense, with cheers from the audience rising and falling.
Who will win this crucial match has become the focus of everyone's attention.
As the basketball was tossed high into the air by the referee, Su Hao and Joel Anthony jumped almost simultaneously.
However, Su Hao was a cut above the rest and touched the basketball first, ahead of Joel Anthony.
He then passed the ball to Gordon, who was standing nearby.
Heat players immediately stepped forward to stop them.
Wade used his speed advantage to get into position and block Gordon's dribbling route.
James then teamed up with Wade to double-team Gordon.
Just as Gordon was about to make a mistake, Su Hao came over from the inside.
Gordon shielded James and Wade behind him, and then the two of them executed a screen and roll to the basket in perfect unison.
Gordon dribbles, and Su Hao cuts to the basket.
The ball arrives and the player arrives.
Su Hao received the ball three steps away from the basket and jumped. Joel Anthony saw this and jumped to try to intercept Su Hao's attack in mid-air.
The two bodies collided in mid-air.
With a loud "bang".
Joel Anthony was violently thrown back, while Su Hao continued his offensive relentless advance.
He completed a powerful dunk in mid-air.
Su Hao slammed the basketball into the hoop.
This was only the first goal of the round, and Su Hao's performance was so dominant, as if he was declaring to the Heat players that this was his home court.
"Su Hao, that's too ruthless! This is only the first round, and you've already delivered such a brutal dunk. It's like throwing cold water on our hopes!" Wade said helplessly, spreading his hands.
Su Hao smiled and said that this is his playing style!
Winning or losing depends entirely on skill.
After colliding with Su Hao, Joel Anthony fell heavily to the floor.
I witnessed Su Hao's brutal goal firsthand.
He then got up, picked up the basketball from the ground, and threw the ball from the baseline.
The ball came into Wade's hands.
After losing to the Clippers at the beginning of the season, the Heat made adjustments to the team and changed their tactics.
After dozens of matches, the team members gradually developed a better understanding and coordination.
The teamwork between Wade and James, in particular, was exceptionally smooth.
This time, Wade had the ball on the perimeter, and his eyes would occasionally glance in James' direction.
He knew that they were facing a formidable team, and it would be difficult to put together another brilliant performance.
A strong inside attack is no longer a realistic possibility.
Su Hao alone completely covered the area under the basket.
Wade did not choose to drive to the basket when facing Gordon's defense.
Instead, they wanted to find teammates with better outside shooting touch.
Bosh, who always preferred to play on the perimeter, became his first choice.
Ironically, it was Curry who was guarding Bosh.
Wade was not about to miss such a golden opportunity.
He immediately passed the ball to Bosh.
Despite facing Curry, who is significantly shorter than him, Bosh still has a lot of offensive confidence.
With just a slight leap, Curry was no longer able to interfere with his shot.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the basketball landed steadily in the hoop.
The Heat players were initially worried that Bosh might miss his shots.
Wade, James, and other Heat players all rushed into the paint.
He wanted to grab the offensive rebound in front of Su Hao.
However, to their surprise, Bosh's first three-point attempt actually went in.
After scoring, Bosh confidently held up three fingers high in the air.
He declared that he had made a three-pointer.
The Clippers did not stop their offensive offensive.
David Lee immediately threw the ball to the baseline.
The ball came into Curry's hands.
Curry had no good chance to shoot when Wade chased him down.
Following the coach's instructions at the start of the match, the ball was handed to Su Hao.
Curry stopped holding onto the ball and passed it to Su Hao, who had been waiting in the paint.
When Su Hao received the ball, the Heat players immediately tensed up.
Especially Joel Anthony, who is responsible for interior defense.
After Su Hao failed in his first defensive attempt, he no longer believed he could defend against his opponent one-on-one.
