Chapter 163
Three times in a single quarter, Su Hao blocked the ball from under the basket, which was very intimidating.
Not only did it invalidate the Suns' proud outside attack many times, but it also greatly boosted the morale of the players.
The score difference, which was originally forced to be only three points, was gradually widened under Su Hao's DPOY-level defense.
At the end of the first half, the Clippers led by 8 points.
This was when all the Suns played normally and at full strength, and the Clippers were still able to lead the victory.
This doubled the pressure on the Suns.
During the entire halftime break, all the Suns players were discussing in the locker room how to limit Su Hao, catch up with the score, and beat the Clippers.
Soon.
15 minutes later.
The second half came.
The sides changed and the game resumed.
The Suns still played their seven-second run-and-gun tactics, but it was different from the relaxed and comfortable first half.
In the second half, even if you see Su Hao in the paint, you have to pay attention to the defensive interference he caused to the outside.
The Suns played more cautiously.
The Clippers played steadily.
On the defensive end... Su Hao was not only able to dominate the restricted area, but also caused considerable interference to the outside.
On the offensive end... Su Hao basically gets the ball under the basket, and Stoudemire can't stop him. At least 2-3 people are needed to force Su Hao not to attack.
Then Curry, Gordon and other players on the outside can attack without restraint.
The key.
Fighting for rebounds.
Even if Su Hao is surrounded by 2-3 people, he can still break through the siege, relying on his absolute height, wingspan and even weight advantage to firmly protect the rim. Desperate rim protection
"That bastard Su Hao stood on the ground like a tank, and no one could squeeze him out.
The key is that he can jump and run, and his athletic ability is outstanding, which is simply unbelievable."
Channing Frye shook his head repeatedly.
Facing Su Hao who fell into the restricted area, whether it was offense, defense, or rim protection, etc.
No matter what Su Hao did, he was helpless, and he could not restrict him at all.
The Clippers are going to burst through the Suns?!
That's not the case.
Su Hao's consecutive bloody volleyball blocks can only be said to interfere with the Suns' offense to a certain extent and boost the team's morale.
But as a running and gunning team, as a team with a three-point shooting rate of more than 40% for all starters.
The outside firepower is still a level higher than the Clippers.
The game is still very stalemate.
After the third quarter, the Clippers led by 10 points, and only won two points in a single quarter, which is enough to show how intense the game is.
The last quarter is the decisive moment.
Both sides attach great importance to winning this game. In the last quarter, the substitutes only played for 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
The starting players of both sides are back.
The final battle begins
""Swish!"
Nash's assists helped his teammates score from the outside.
Su Hao was also able to create more secondary attack opportunities for his teammates while protecting the basket. His hit rate dropped, but his points were not reduced at all.
The game was still tense.
A critical breakthrough point needed to be found.
Which team could launch a counterattack climax would determine the outcome of the entire game.
When would this point come?!
5 minutes and 17 seconds.
The Suns set continuous screens, pulled Su Hao out of the inside, and chose to break through to attack the basket.
However.
David Lee also has certain inside defensive capabilities. This time he blocked Jason Richardson's attack on the basket.
The rebound was grabbed by Russell, who passed it to Curry at the top of the arc on the left.
Su Hao in the middle had already rushed out.
Under normal circumstances, the ball will not be passed to the center rushing in the frontcourt to advance.
At least wait for the center to get under the basket, and then lob the ball to him, or other offensive means.
But Su Hao is different.
He jumps higher than the forwards and runs faster than the guards. His super athletic ability is rare in a century, and he has the ability to launch fast breaks throughout the court.
Curry did not hesitate at all, and decisively made a long pass to the sprinting Su Hao.
Receive the ball in the center circle.
Su Hao took the ball and threw it forward. He only dribbled the ball once and rushed up to receive the ball. The moment he started directly with three steps.
"Still in the logo area, he took three steps and made a layup?!"
Frye, who was about to chase, was stunned.
With his pupils wide open, he watched Su Hao take three steps outside the three-point line, fly into the basket, and slam dunk the basketball into the basket.
"Come on!"
Drexler shouted excitedly,"Here we go, Su Hao makes a super layup!!!""
"A layup after dribbling the ball in the first half, Su Hao's special move: super layup.
This shot is so cool!
The aura is also full. Every time a goal like this is scored, it attacks the opponent's psychological defense line!"
Ian Thompson was also very emotional.
That's right.
Su Hao's super layup, while the earth is shaking, it is also constantly breaking down the opponent's psychological defense line.
3 minutes and 17 seconds.
Su Hao rushed out with quick eyes and hands. Frye, who was originally planning to shoot a three-pointer outside the three-point analysis, had to pass the ball back to Nash to reorganize.
But this time Curry saw through it, intercepted it directly in mid-air, and passed it to Su Hao who rushed out without stopping the ball.
"Oops!"
Frye's scalp tingled, and he hurriedly chased back. As a tall and thin power forward, his movement speed was actually quite fast.
It was just right for the Suns' run-and-gun system. It should be effortless for him to chase a 400-pound center.
But!
Su Hao was a special existence. The
"Hulk" rushed out, and after the center circle, he swung the ball and accelerated all over the court. He really dribbled once, and once again took three steps outside the three-point line to rush to the basket. He took big steps.
The distance taken by each step was very large, and the ground seemed to tremble with every step!
Su Hao's super layup!
""Bang!"
Another dunk.
Su Hao had already dunked, and Frye, who had chased after him, finally arrived at the basket and could only serve the ball at the baseline.
"What an outrageous athletic talent!"
Frye's brain was buzzing. Looking at Su Hao's back, he was already a little collapsed.
But this is not over yet.
Another 1 minute and 14 seconds.
The Suns missed a three-pointer from the outside. After Su Hao received the rebound, he passed it to Curry in the frontcourt. Gordon and Rasul ran on both sides. The Clippers counterattacked.
Curry rushed to the top of the arc on the right side, stopped suddenly and seemed to be going to counterattack with a three-pointer directly, but in fact he passed it to Gordon at the top of the arc on the other side.
It seemed that he was going to shoot a three-pointer, but suddenly he hit the ground and gave it to Su Hao who cut in at the free throw line.
The Suns' retreat was also timely. Stoudemire and Hill stood in the penalty area, ready to counter Su Hao's impact.
Su Hao rushed in and seemed to be going to have a fierce physical confrontation with the two, but in fact he just relied on his strength, turned around, passed the two, grabbed the ball and flew up
""Bang!"
Swinging the ball with one arm, violent and handsome.
With Su Hao's fast break counterattack, the Clippers have expanded their lead to 14 points.
The key is that there is less than a minute left, and the Suns have no chance to turn the tide.
"Wooow"
Drexler couldn’t help but exclaim,"Another super layup, and another fantastic footwork attack on the basket in a fast break counterattack.
Really.
Su Hao is a guy weighing 400 kilograms and 2.3 meters tall. His athletic talent is outstanding to the extreme. He is so outstanding that the Suns, who are good at running and gunning, and good at fast breaks, can’t do anything about it.
The Suns have the strongest"seven-second running and gunning" in the league.
But"Hulk" Su Hao, he alone is a nightmare for running and gunning!!!"
