Chapter 144
After three quarters, the Clippers beat the Magic by 15 points
"Hmm?"
During the intermission,
Curry was a little confused."It's true that Sue has absolutely suppressed Howard.
Rebounds, defense, or offense and so on.
Howard didn't get any benefits from Sue.
But... that's just Howard's poor performance.
The Magic also have players like Carter, Nelson, Lewis, etc. They have organizers, breakthroughs, can cause damage, and can shoot three-pointers from the outside.
A star in all directions.
Howard is definitely not the only one who is strong in the Magic.
But why do I feel that the offense and defense played by Carter, Nelson, Lewis and other players tonight are so-so?
There is not too much pressure."
"Not feeling good?"
David Lee guessed,"Tonight, Magic players such as Nelson and Lewis had open shots, but they missed the three-pointer. It seems that
Carter is a"dunker" who can fly and hide.
In fact, his shooting ability is not bad, and he can shoot three-pointers with a certain accuracy.
But his hit rate was not high tonight.
Perhaps... the sluggish state of all players is one of the reasons why they fell behind so much tonight."
"Really?"
Curry nodded thoughtfully, but still felt a little strange,"I always feel like they seem to have become weaker!"
"Ha..."
Coach Dunleavy couldn't help but laugh after hearing this,"It's not that the Magic players have become weaker, but they just couldn't play at their usual level tonight."
"Why?!"
Curry, David Lee and other players all looked at the coach.
Dunleavy continued to answer,"It's not that Lewis, Carter and other players have become weaker.
It's that after the Magic's"One Star Four Shooters" system was destroyed, the efficiency of those outside shooters naturally decreased. In the previous game,
Howard was able to play a supermodel dominance in the restricted area, forcing the opponent to shrink the defense and focus more on Howard.
In this way, the pressure on the outside defense is small, and there will be more offensive opportunities.
At the same time,
Howard's strength in the interior will help the team get more offensive rebounds and second-chance opportunities.
There are more shooting opportunities on the outside, and the efficiency of converting them into points will also increase.
But now.
The Magic's rim protection is not there, and Howard's dominance in the restricted area is not there.
The outside shooters not only have no more offensive opportunities, but also suffer stronger defensive pressure.
Their efficiency will naturally decline.
Speaking of which, our Clippers' offensive style also has the flavor of one star four shooters.
Su Hao's rim protection and defense in the interior allow the outside players to have more and more comfortable offensive opportunities.
Everyone is in a"one star, four stars" system.
Whoever has a higher gold content of the one star will take the initiative on the court.
Su Hao exploded Howard.
The Magic who made it to the finals last year were not as scary as imagined, and it was not difficult to beat them.
This is the main reason why we were able to establish a 15-point advantage.
The Magic were defeated by the Lakers last year because the"Three Talls of the Lakers" surrounded Howard and limited his dominance in the interior.
This is the same reason"
"Wow"
Jordan sighed after hearing this,"It's Su, and it's his Hulk-like physical talent that can suppress Howard, helping the Clippers accumulate advantages and gain the lead."
"Hahaha!"
Camby couldn't help laughing, and even gave a thumbs up, praising Su Hao,"As a rookie, he defeated Howard, who was the rebounding champion, blocked shot champion and DPOY at the same time.
This is really puzzling!"
"Su is so awesome!"
"Su is the super core of the Clippers!"
The Clippers players who understood the situation expressed their sincere emotion and praised Su Hao's strength.
In the commentary booth,
Reggie Miller also explained to the fans,"Both teams use the"one star and four shooters" system, and Su Hao blew up Howard.
In the one-star duel, if the Clippers win, the Magic will be defeated.
The Magic's"one star and four shooters" system has defeated countless teams, and even made it to the finals last year.
Who would have thought that they would eventually lose to the"one star and four shooters" system.
Su Hao beat Howard and helped the Clippers lead by 15 points. He used magic to defeat magic. This feeling... is like pooping on the opponent's head. It is very harmful and even more insulting!!!"
Yes.
Su Hao was on Howard's head, protecting the frame, scoring, blocking shots, doing whatever he wanted.
It was like using magic to defeat magic, it was like pooping on Magic's head.
The key.
They still had no way to crack it. After all, it was difficult for ordinary people to defeat themselves, especially a stronger self!
In the last quarter.
Although the Magic tried their best to catch up, Howard, as the top center in active service, also gave up the so-called"dignity" and avoided Su Hao to fight.
But it was useless.
As long as Su Hao landed in the penalty area, he was the master, and no one could dominate the penalty area more than him.
But after all, it was a team that had entered the finals.
It still had the strength it should have.
The Clippers, who led by 15 points in the third quarter, did not play the game any more and played with the Magic until the end of the game.
In the end, they beat the Magic by 11 points.
"Come on!"
As soon as the game was over,
Reggie Miller couldn't wait to shout,"Let's congratulate the Clippers for winning the Magic, winning this game that was like a preview of the finals.
Congratulations to the Clippers for their 16th consecutive win.
In this way, with the efforts of players such as Su Hao and Curry, they also set a new record for consecutive wins in team history.
In addition,
I must especially praise Su Hao's performance tonight.
Because he was always facing Howard under the basket, he did a good job both offensively and defensively tonight.
After the game,
Su Hao scored 33 points, 30 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and an amazing 15 blocks.
What kind of data is this?!
In 1973, Lakers center Elmore Smith had 17 blocks in a single game.
Now,
Su Hao has 15 blocks, only two away from the block record.
And since then, there have only been three times with 15+ blocks in a single game, and Manute Bol in the 1980s did it twice.
The most recent one was in 1993 when"The Great Shark" O'Neal contributed 15 blocks in one game.
Now it is the fourth time for Su Hao, which is really amazing. He is once again on par with centers of O'Neal's level!
In addition.
33 points in a single game refreshed Su Hao's personal career scoring record, and 30 rebounds in a single game also refreshed his personal career rebounding record.
33 points, 30 rebounds and 15 blocks, this is another extremely abnormal super-sized block triple-double.
Of course
"Double 30+ data, that is also extremely amazing"
"Yes, yes!"
Barkley nodded frantically,"Su Hao's abnormal performance tonight seems to be only found in ancient times, from the"Basketball Emperor" Chamberlain.
The key.
Su Hao defeated the current top center who is the rebounding king, block king, and DPOY player... Howard!
He even made Howard, who averaged 21 points, 15.3 rebounds, and 3.1 blocks per game, only score a pitiful 11 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks tonight.
The duel of the best players of the week, the duel of super centers, Su Hao completely beat Howard!
The Hulk defeated the Warcraft!
So... can we say that Su Hao surpassed Howard and topped the position of"current top center"!!!"
