Chapter 202
Su Hao received 1.26 million votes in the first round, topping the list.
He teamed up with Curry and led the Clippers to defeat the Celtics and Spurs, which made the Clippers' strength surge further.
It seems that... their record of being the best in the Western Conference is not just a momentary luck, nor a short-term burst.
It is not because the opponents are not that strong.
It is just amazing.
It is really good.
Su Hao and Curry, the twin stars from Davidson College, have strong strength. They are still capable on the NBA stage.
Their popularity topped the list of votes, and their personal strength even surpassed"Stone Buddha" Duncan and"Magic" Howard.
The voice of Su Hao being"the best center in active service" is getting louder and louder.
It's a pity that he has not yet been baptized by the playoffs. In the series of 7 one-on-one duels with further enhanced overall offensive and defensive strength, fans still don't know what kind of performance and results Su Hao can lead the Clippers to play.
Otherwise, he will immediately top the throne of"the best center in active service".
Don't worry.
Everything is going in an orderly manner.
The Clippers have won 6 games in a row. Their next opponents are the Pacers, Wizards, Jazz and Thunder.
All opponents are strong.
They can't be taken lightly.
The Clippers played steadily, first eliminated the Pacers, then the Wizards.
Then they played the Jazz at home.
Without the bonus of the"devil's home court", their strength plummeted and they were no match for the Clippers.
They lost by 17 points.
Although the Jazz lost, the magic of their"devil's home court" is even more frightening and confusing.
Fear of the combat power bonus of the"devil's home court".
Wondering why there is such a big difference between home and away games?
The Clippers have won 9 games in a row.
Their next opponent is the Thunder. The
Clippers played against the Thunder at the beginning of the season.
In that game,"Su Hao" scored a career-high 33 points, 22 rebounds and 11 blocks.
All-round performance.
The dominance of the giant in the restricted area made the Thunder's three young players defeated.
Tonight is the second game of the season.
After the"Thunder Three" knew the strength of the Clippers, they began to take it seriously. This would be a tough battle.
Result.
During the pre-match training.
Durant accidentally twisted his ankle, which was not serious. After applying an ice pack for half an hour.
It got much better.
He returned to the court to warm up and feel the state. It seemed okay.
But.
Coach Scott Brooks was worried.
He didn't want Durant, who averaged 30.4 points per game this year and topped the scoring list, to have any accidents.
A temporary decision.
Let him rest tonight.
Although Durant wanted to play against Su Hao and wanted to regain the face he lost in the last game.
But he still listened to the coach's instructions.
He also understood... His ankle was not very good tonight, and there were risks. The contest with Su Hao was not something that could be decided overnight.
Don't worry.
Not tonight.
Then the next game.
After Harden joined, the"Thunder Three" was formed, and the strength of the Thunder also increased greatly.
But.
If the"scoring machine" Durant was missing.
It is very difficult for Westbrook and Harden to defeat the Clippers with twin stars.
No.
They can't win at all.
Westbrook is a reckless rim-rushing type. Harden, who has just entered the league, has not yet developed the step-back technique. His offensive method is more about attacking the basket.
However.
Su Hao's restricted area is banned.
Westbrook and Harden's attack is not smooth, and they can't score as well as the boss Durant.
The Thunder collapsed quickly.
They were 6 points behind in the first quarter.
They were 13 points behind at halftime.
After three quarters, the Clippers had widened the gap to 24 points. In the third quarter, Su Hao teamed up with Curry, and they exploded inside and outside, blasting a 17:5 offensive storm.
They led by 11 points in a single quarter.
The Thunder was defeated.
In the last quarter, after the substitutes rotated and failed to close the score, the Thunder could only surrender.
No more playing.
Let the last quarter become garbage time.
The starters of both sides were resting on the bench.
On the Thunder side.
Durant, who didn't play basketball the whole game and was a little bored, got a bag of instant noodles from somewhere. He crushed it and opened it to eat.
A normal bag of instant noodles looked very small in his hand.
He ate it first.
Maybe it was too delicious and he didn't feel satisfied, so he poured the instant noodles directly into his mouth.
He leaned back in the chair, wearing a small hat, holding the instant noodles in one hand and smacking his lips with the other hand, enjoying the delicious instant noodles.
This scene is indescribable.
But when it comes to Durant, that little temperament comes out at a touch.
After a while.
He found that Ibaka next to him was looking at him, and raised his chin at him,"Would you like some?
This is really delicious, and it tastes like childhood!"
"Come on!"
Ibaka smiled and stretched out his hand in front of Durant, who generously poured him a lot of
"Enough, enough!"
Ibaka and Durant, the two of them were eating instant noodles together.
This scene was a bit funny.
At the same time.
On the Clippers bench.
Su Hao felt bored during the last quarter and a little hungry.
What a coincidence.
On the way to the stadium today, when he passed through the lobby, he met a female fan who gave him a bag of bread.
He brought it over. He happened to be hungry now.
He opened the bread and ate it.
When people are hungry, everything tastes delicious, and the bread tonight is the same.
Su Hao ate it so deliciously.
"Su, what are you eating? It looks delicious, give me a piece, please?"
Curry came over.
"Here you go!"
Su Hao was not stingy at all and took two slices of bread to Curry.
In garbage time, the twin stars of Davidson College leaned on the bench, smacking their lips, and seemed to enjoy eating bread.
As for the game, there was not much suspense.
The Clippers eventually won the game with a 17-point advantage, tearing the Thunder apart.
After the 22-game winning streak was broken, they now regained their 10-game winning streak.
……
A day later,
Augustine's agent called Su Hao and said excitedly,"Su, a brand wants you to be its spokesperson, and it's a big company!"
"What endorsement?!"
"Endorsing Boeing aircraft!"
"Oh? What's the price?"
"40 million US dollars in three years!"
"" Do it!"
The two drove to get endorsements and make money.
【Su Hao: Bread】、【Durant: Instant noodles】、【Russian bread】、【[Red Elephant Instant Noodles].
Multiple keywords became the hot search on basketball websites.
What happened?!
Because... in the last game between the Clippers and the Thunder, in garbage time, the director captured the scenes of Su Hao eating bread and Durant eating instant noodles.
After the game, the fans posted them to major video websites.
Because the two of them ate very delicious food, it immediately aroused the interest of countless fans, who wanted to try the same food as their idols.
So much so that.
In just one day, the market value of the bread company that Su Hao ate increased by 5 million US dollars, and the instant noodles that Durant ate increased by 3 million US dollars.
Just eating casually can increase the market value of the corresponding snacks by millions.
This popularity is amazing!
