PNB Game 278! The pivotal moment for the Lakers! The beginning of their collapse!
Game 278! The pivotal moment for the Lakers! The beginning of their collapse!
Facing the replacement, Pau Gasol.
A fierce glint flashed in Su Hao's eyes. Without any sign of stopping, he charged forward with the full force of a tank, delivering another blow.
Pau Gasol was once known as a "softie".
His ability to fight back, even if pushed to the limit, is completely insufficient.
Pau Gasol almost split his legs apart to lower his center of gravity and increase his ability to withstand physical contact.
Good idea.
He withstood Su Hao's first impact without falling.
But... the sharp pain in his chest made him gasp, his face contorted in agony.
Avoid a second confrontation.
Su Hao received the ball and immediately rose up, slamming it down while forcefully bumping into Pau Gasol with his body.
The power is still considerable.
"It hurts so much!"
After being dunked on, Pau Gasol frantically rubbed his chest upon landing, trying to relieve the pain.
Su Hao saw this and was very satisfied.
This is the situation he wanted to see.
But he was also very clear in his heart about the Lakers' ability to withstand blows from their three tall players: Bynum, Gasol, and Odom.
They are definitely not someone he can defeat in one or two rounds of attack.
The goal is to disrupt their mental state, causing their performance to decline significantly in the next match.
That would require a more prolonged and violent confrontation.
how long?!
Throughout the third quarter, Su Hao relentlessly attacked the Lakers' three tall interior players.
They rested, and Su Hao rested.
With them present, Su Hao immediately returned, continuously providing resistance at the most terrifying intensity.
The third quarter is over.
The Lakers still lead by 9 points.
It doesn't seem to have any effect.
During the break, Su Hao was still sitting on the bench, panting heavily, looking quite tired.
Is it a losing proposition?
No.
The Lakers still appear to be in the lead, but their three big men in the paint are already battered and bruised; they are breathing more heavily and their energy is depleting faster.
They were still in pain all over their bodies.
They showed almost no offensive desire in the final quarter.
Even the physically strongest player, "Little Shark" Bynum, was struggling to keep up.
Pau Gasol, once known as a "softie," and Lamar Odom, who was physically weaker.
These two were in great distress.
They felt an inexplicable fear whenever they met Su Hao's gaze—no, they only saw Su Hao's back.
It would remind me of the various times Su Hao had clashed with me, and I would feel a strange fear.
This led to... after the rotation of lineups in the final quarter, both teams' starters came back to play, in the final decisive battle.
The Lakers' three big men in the paint have been able to significantly weaken and limit Su Hao's ability to play.
More importantly.
Their collective defensive decline has given Curry and other Clippers players more opportunities to penetrate to the basket.
A breakthrough can lead to a score.
This will give him more opportunities to attack from the outside.
Curry is also gradually finding his form.
Su Hao's physical condition has indeed declined significantly, but compared to the Lakers' three tall and strong interior players, he is still more resilient.
Based on this.
He still has the natural advantages of wingspan, strength, and height.
This way.
Su Hao is more dominant in the paint, while his teammates can provide further firepower from the outside.
"Shh!"
"boom!"
Blooming both inside and out.
The Lakers collapsed, and the Clippers erased the 9-point deficit and re-established a 5-point lead.
Not much.
They could maintain their lead until the end of the game.
The Clippers won Game 4 at the Lakers' home court, tying the series at 2-2.
This brought the series to a decisive Game 5.
The so-called "King of the Hill" refers to the fifth game, in which one of the teams will inevitably take the lead after each team has won two games.
Such a duel is called the Heavenly King Mountain.
After the game.
Su Hao and Iverson gave each other a high five and hugged.
Iverson's strategy worked.
Despite playing like this, Su Hao was really tired, but his teammates couldn't come out to help him in time.
He needs someone to end the fight.
That's really the only way to win.
Su Hao is physically stronger and younger, and has a better recovery ability.
In contrast, the Lakers have three tall centers.
They are not young, they have suffered more pain, and they want a longer recovery period.
in this way.
In the next pivotal game, the Lakers' three big men in the paint will definitely perform worse.
Su Hao was able to adjust himself.
He is able to return in top form, and his dominant period in the next game might only last for the first half.
But if the pressure continues, and the strongest confrontation is once again directed at the Lakers' three big men.
They'll only collapse even faster.
Su Hao will have an easier time in the second half, and his teammates will have more opportunities to attack the basket and choose to score.
When the Lakers could only rely on the strength of "Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant alone.
not enough.
Even the mighty "Black Mamba" is no match for the "Hulk," and can't withstand the frenzied bites of the "prehistoric crocodile"!
Take down G4.
The Clippers have found a way to counter the Lakers again. They are all brimming with confidence and are determined to win Game 5!
……
Two days later.
The pivotal Game 5 between the Lakers and the Clippers is approaching.
Even though it was at the Clippers' home court.
They have the home advantage.
From the very first possession of the game, Su Hao once again faced immense physical challenges against the Lakers' three tall players.
"Bang bang bang!"
The first attack was an extremely intense hand-to-hand combat.
After 6 minutes and 17 seconds of this relentless attack, the Lakers' three tall players were left in despair, on the verge of tears.
"Beep!"
Phil Jackson called a timeout.
Pau Gasol's scalp tingled. "What's going on? Is Su Hao planning to inflict heavy damage on himself while inflicting a thousand casualties on the enemy?!"
He wants to switch places with the three of us?!
Even so... who will solve Kobe's problems? They'll still lose the game!
What's the point of this?!
"Who knows!"
Odom kept rubbing his chest, ribs, and abdomen, his face contorted in deep pain.
"I really don't want to fight Su Hao. I don't want to fight a tank!"
I can't take it anymore!
The left-handed magician was on the verge of collapse.
Bynum, nicknamed "Little Shark," remained silent. You might think he looked alright, but in reality, his body was on the verge of collapse.
Despite being the Lakers' strongest interior player.
However, he was also the player who directly matched up against Su Hao, and he absorbed the most and strongest impact.
That power surpasses the 320 kg bench press.
It's something that his 150kg bench press strength can't compare to.
He's about to explode too!!!
We played one quarter of the game today, and it was agreed that we would only be given the intensity of one quarter.
The Lakers' three highs (high stamina, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol) crumbled.
This situation came sooner than Su Hao had imagined.
well.
Su Hao was very satisfied.
The Lakers appeared to be leading by 4 points in the first quarter.
But starting from the second quarter, the gears of fate and the scales of victory began to tip wildly in favor of the Clippers.
They erased a 4-point deficit by halftime and even took a 3-point lead. After three quarters, the Clippers were leading by as many as 9 points.
The Lakers' three big men's defense has declined, allowing Su Hao to dominate in the paint and giving the outside shooters more opportunities.
Curry hit 6 three-pointers in three quarters tonight, scoring 20+ points in three quarters for the first time in a long time.
Not common.
But it was very timely.
In the pivotal Game 5, which determined the series' fate, the Lakers' collapse began!
