449. A strong defense in 0.3 seconds!
449. A strong defense in 0.3 seconds!
Given Su Hao's free throw accuracy, sending him to the free throw line is tantamount to giving him a point.
After Su Hao scored both penalty kicks, the referee reset the game time by 0.3 seconds.
This gives the Lakers an opportunity to attack.
It's quite difficult to make a move in such a short time.
This means throwing the ball towards the basket the instant you receive it.
Fisher stood on the sideline to inbound the ball, with each of his teammates being guarded one-on-one by a Clippers player.
There was no suitable teammate to receive the ball at that moment.
The Lakers' head coach wanted to call a timeout to plan a play.
But then I realized that with only a fraction of a second of offensive time, there was absolutely no chance to make an accurate shot.
Calling a timeout would be futile.
In the end, it was decided to let the players play freely.
Fisher noticed that Gordon was guarding Gasol, and there was a height difference between the two.
Then, he passed the ball over.
Unexpectedly, the ball was destroyed in mid-air.
This person was none other than Su Hao, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
He took advantage of his height and his own strength.
He suddenly appeared from the sidelines, leaped high, and knocked the ball away.
Even with only a fraction of a second left, Su Hao didn't want to give them a chance to make a move.
Although the Lakers couldn't guarantee a basket, Su Hao's defense once again demonstrated just how formidable his defensive abilities are.
With the basketball being swatted away by Su Hao, the third quarter ended.
"Su Hao's move was truly ruthless! It was absolutely unreasonable. He was so far away, yet he still managed to get there and knock the ball away. Is this some kind of superpower like the 'Hulk'?" Barkley exclaimed.
"That's really ruthless! Not giving them even this much of a chance, it's really going to be tough for the Lakers to win! I wonder what they'll do in the fourth quarter! The players' stamina is a problem right now!" Miller said with some concern.
After Su Hao swatted the basketball away, Fisher behind him couldn't help but say, "Su Hao, you'll have no friends if you do that. You're too arrogant. You don't even give us a chance to shoot in this short time!"
Just as Su Hao was about to respond, Curry stepped forward and said with a smile, "Opportunities are something you have to earn yourself; you can't always rely on your opponents to give them to you!"
Upon hearing this, Fisher, who was about to speak again, turned around and returned to the bench.
Kobe walked up to Su Hao, and the two chatted for a few minutes with smiles.
After that, the two returned to their respective benches.
After three quarters, the Clippers led the Lakers by eight points.
Finally, it's no longer a five-point difference.
Back on the sidelines, the Lakers players each picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
At this moment, the Lakers' head coach also came over, because he wanted to encourage his players.
He doesn't want to give up the competition yet.
"You all did a great job, but we haven't lost yet!" The coach's voice was firm and powerful. "Keep the defensive intensity in the fourth quarter, believe in yourselves on offense, and we can come back!"
The Lakers players couldn't believe their ears when they heard what the head coach said.
Because none of them dared to say they could beat the Clippers.
They can't guarantee they can defend against Su Hao alone.
Even if I were full of energy now, I wouldn't dare guarantee that I could defend against Su Hao.
And now that my physical strength is already somewhat depleted, this is something I can't even imagine.
At this moment, the Lakers' head coach stared at his players, hoping to get a positive and confident answer from them.
After waiting for quite a while, they still didn't receive a response from a single player.
Finally, having no other choice, he took out his tactical board and began to demonstrate various tactics.
The atmosphere on the Clippers' side was relatively harmonious, even though they failed to extend their lead to double digits in this half-quarter.
They are not panicked at all now.
With Su Hao, a reliable scoring machine, they were not worried at all.
"If we win this game, I'll treat everyone to a late-night snack!" Curry shouted to the crowd.
"Oh ho, you're quite self-aware! Don't you want me to treat you to Chinese food?" Su Hao smiled at Curry.
Curry chuckled wryly, "You're about to surpass me in points, so how could I dare ask you to treat us all to Chinese food! But if you really want to, we won't hesitate at all!"
As Curry said, Su Hao's total score has now reached thirty points.
Curry scored 35 points.
Moreover, in the fourth quarter, the Clippers will have the majority of the ball possession in Su Hao's hands.
At this point, his score will definitely surpass Curry's.
Curry is smart; he told his teammates he was going to treat them to dinner beforehand.
"Then we won't stand on ceremony. Don't sneak away after the match!" Su Hao continued.
Mike Dunleavy noticed that the players were chatting idly and had no intention of making any tactical arrangements.
The fourth quarter begins.
The Clippers' beautiful cheerleaders quickly left the court.
Players from both sides took to the field one after another.
The Lakers are sticking with their starting lineup.
With the game at this stage, they didn't want to lose so easily.
They still wanted to make a final stand.
The Clippers replaced David Lee.
They replaced him with Paul George.
Because David Lee said he was exhausted and wanted to rest.
Paul George, on the other hand, wanted to get a chance to play.
In the end, Mike Dunleavy agreed to their request.
The swap of these two players will not change the Clippers' existing tactical arrangements.
All the tactics were designed for Su Hao.
Their task now is to get the ball into Su Hao's hands.
At the start of the game, Curry received the ball on the outside.
He then passed the ball to Su Hao in the paint.
When Bynum saw Su Hao receive the ball, his nervousness immediately surfaced.
"Gasol, come help me defend! I can't hold on by myself!"
Before Bynum could finish speaking, Gasol had already arrived under the basket.
The two men, one on the left and one on the right, tried to surround Su Hao.
It seems that their physical strength has been replenished after a short rest.
They dared to double-team Su Hao like this; it seems they came prepared.
Su Hao felt the defensive pressure from both sides, but he was not afraid.
He feigned a move to the left, causing Gasol to move to the left, while simultaneously turning to the right and using a crossover to get past Bynum.
Immediately afterwards, he jumped and shot, the basketball drawing a beautiful arc in the air and swishing through the net.
This time, Su Hao surprisingly didn't choose to force a dunk, but instead opted for a jump shot, which is quite rare!
The spectators on the sidelines cheered, thrilled by Su Hao's outstanding performance.
The Clippers players applauded and cheered for Su Hao, knowing that victory was one step closer to them.
After Su Hao made that shot, the score difference between the two sides finally reached double digits.
