Chapter 253
Su Hao's restricted area is always off-limits.
All of San Shao's dribbling to the basket was blocked by Su Hao, and even if he was pulled out, his sturdy body and strong athletic ability still allowed him to have amazing defense.
Airtight.
Suffocating.
The most important thing is... Su Hao's defensive area is too wide. It seems that no matter where he attacks, he will encounter Su Hao's backup defense.
He can feel the pressure of the"prehistoric giant crocodile".
This is really a headache.
There is no way.
He can only attack more from the outside, and at the same time... once Su Hao comes out, he must transfer the basketball to the other side as soon as possible.
Let the other players attack.
Fortunately, the Thunder's outside line is not short of offensive firepower.
Durant, Westbrook and Harden, all three have offensive capabilities.
However.
Except for Durant, Westbrook and Harden's offense is not smooth.
Westbrook wants to end the offense with a shot, but the effect has not been good, and there is a tendency to rush into the restricted area.
But there are prehistoric giant crocodiles there.
In the future, even if he becomes a"divine turtle", he will not be qualified to challenge the"prehistoric giant crocodile".
Harden is still a rookie. Whether it is the ability to draw fouls, the"Euro step", or the"step back", all of them are dishonest. It's okay to lead the bench to play, but when he really faces a group of NBA-level, strong starters, the effect is not good.
The Thunder's offense is not smooth
"Beep!"
Coach Brooks called a timeout.
Sefolosha was surprised,"No, why do I feel that the Clippers' defense is so strong? Except for Su Hao, the Clippers don't have any defensive stalwarts.
Especially Curry.
He can make Harden and Westbrook's offense not smooth?!
How is this possible?!"
"How strange!"
Harden was also very confused
"No!"
Westbrook shook his head."Stephen Curry can't interfere with me at all. It's like a joke for me to break through him.
But even if I pass him, I will still face a stronger"prehistoric crocodile", which will only make my attack more difficult."
"That's right."
Durant also frowned and pointed out the key point,"The Clippers' perimeter defense is average, but Su Hao's defense in the restricted area is too strong.
So they only need to focus on our shots.
Once we break in, Su Hao will help us defend, which will also make it difficult for us to play.
If they only focus on shooting, the defensive effect will definitely be doubled, and it will also give us the illusion that the other Clippers players have strong defensive capabilities."
"Correct answer."
Coach Brooks nodded,"In the final analysis, Su Hao's offensive and defensive abilities are too strong, but even if we know this, we still have to attack more resolutely.
Whether it is shooting from the outside or rushing into the basket.
Of course, the main premise is... to avoid Su Hao as much as possible. As for the rest, don't think too much and believe in yourself."
The situation is clear.
What we need to do is to maintain confidence, and also... see the outbreak of the"Thunder Three".
On the outside, if they can ignore the defense and hit some difficult shots, they can also solve the problem.
On the inside, if they can be in great shape and break through Su Hao's defense, or go down a level and break through Su Hao's help defense, they can also solve the problem.
It depends on whether they can do it.
Can they?!
Harden at this point in time must be a waste.
Westbrook at this point in time still has a"zombie jump shot" and some accuracy in three-pointers. He can attack from the outside.
Durant is needless to say.
The title of"human jump shot essence" that fell on Anthony also applies to"scoring machine" Durant.
After some adaptation.
The offense of the two teams became a little anxious.
But... that's all.
At the end of the first half, the Clippers' lead of 8 points in the first quarter expanded to 13 points, and the pressure was completely given to the Thunder.
The most troublesome thing is that
Su Hao, who attacked very resolutely tonight, scored 27 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists and 8 blocks in the first half. This data... is so terrible.
"Su Hao played too well in the first half."
Barkley was stunned,"He is really the strongest monster in the early 21st century. The"prehistoric giant crocodile" Su Hao is like the contemporary"ancient beast" Chamberlain!"
"Tsk tsk……"
Reggie Miller couldn't help but smack his lips."21 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 blocks in the first half. This is really the result of basketball being fully mature.
Is this the kind of data a normal player can produce?!
Even a brush can't produce it, right?!
This dominance is so strong that he almost used the power of one person to pin the"Thunder Three" and all the Thunder members to the ground.
The Thunder played without position and their defensive strategy was also very correct.
But their inside line is not strong enough, and the three outside players are a little immature. They can't convert all their talents into equal combat effectiveness.
They seem to still need to hone and grow.
On the other hand, the Clippers.
Although the twin stars were selected for the first time, and although Curry also showed immaturity, they did not play as well as in the regular season under high-intensity defense.
But
""Prehistoric giant crocodile" Su Hao, the new No. 1 pick, had no problems with his performance, and he didn't look like a rookie at all.
On the contrary, he looked like a leader who had been in the playoffs for many years, was experienced and powerful, and was steadily making his way to the highest stage of the finals.
The Hulk is so steady."
The commentator praised Su Hao.
For Su Hao's first playoff show, he had a phenomenal performance in the first half, and he had to be praised, madly praised!
""Boom!"
The Clippers fans at home were also very excited.
Before the playoffs, everyone was only worried about one thing, whether Su Hao would be able to adapt to the intensity of the playoffs.
Now it seems that the worry is completely unnecessary.
Even if Curry and other players have not adapted yet, it doesn't matter, as long as Su Hao is as fierce as ever.
That's enough.
There are endless possibilities.
Halftime break.
All the Thunder members were silent.
They knew all the offensive and defensive tactics, and they were all very clear, but the hardcore strength was a little bit lacking, and there was really nothing they could do.
Now.
All they can do is adjust their mentality and strive for an outbreak in the second half.
The idea is beautiful.
The reality is very skinny.
The"Thunder Three" who broke into the playoffs for the first time, they are still very immature, and it is difficult for them to have an outbreak under great pressure.
Only Durant is the most stable.
After all...where is the hardcore physical talent and shooting talent, he can play any Clippers player except Su Hao without distinction.
But he can only float outside and shoot.
Without breakthrough layups, empty cuts and dunks and other offensive means, the efficiency must be lower than usual.
And Su Hao is on both offense and defense, the more he plays The more brave he is, the more unstoppable he becomes.
After three quarters, the Clippers were already leading by 17 points, and the game was going to be a mess.
Fortunately, in the last quarter, when the substitutes rotated, Harden teamed up with Ibaka to help the team narrow the gap to 13 points.
This forced the game to have more suspense.
As a result... Su Hao came on and first passed the ball to Durant and Westbrook, each with a block, and then first made an air relay and dunked over Jeff Green.
Then.
Curry completed a steal against Durant who rushed into the low post.
Without stopping the ball, he passed the ball to Su Hao who was rushing out to the frontcourt. Su Hao received the ball and rushed to the center circle, slamming the basketball forward.
Just one dribble.
Three big steps, Westbrook and Harden, who were chasing on both sides, widened their pupils and fell into despair.
Watching Su Hao glide and dunk.
Su Hao's ultimate move: [Super Layup]!!!
Even though this was not the first time he had demonstrated it, every time he completed a dunk, it was always shocking, and the fans couldn't help cheering.
At the same time.
This time, the [Super Layup] widened the score difference to 20 points, and defeated the Thunder's confidence, making them surrender!!!
