NBA: The Hulk's talent has female celebrities going wild.

Chapter 601 The Lakers still need Kobe!

"Coach, look! Su Hao is right under the basket right now. Our team doesn't have any advantage under the basket at all!" Gasol shouted anxiously to the Lakers' head coach.

The head coach frowned and replied irritably, "Do I need you to tell me that? Do you think I can't see it?"

As he spoke, he kept his eyes fixed on the figure on the field that was causing them so much trouble—Su Hao.

At this point, Bynum couldn't help but complain: "Ugh, this Su Hao is just too good! I didn't even have a chance to grab the rebounds under the basket! How are we supposed to play this game?"

Artest calmly analyzed, "Since you can't get the rebounds and we can't penetrate the paint, we can only hope that our outside shooting can make a difference!"

The head coach nodded in agreement and loudly instructed the players: "That's right, Su Hao's position in the paint has given us an opportunity on the outside. You must seize this opportunity to shoot from the outside!"

Gasol quickly replied, "Okay, coach, we'll definitely improve our outside shooting and get the ball to teammates who are shooting well!"

The game resumed after the timeout.

Su Hao had already changed into a brand new jersey and returned to the field.

As soon as he stepped onto the court, he deliberately grinned at Bynum and said, "Hey Bynum, don't you dare tear my jersey like you did before! If you tear it again, you'll have to pay for it!"

This teasing remark drew laughter from his teammates, while Bynum scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't pull your jersey again. It's pointless anyway! It won't stop you from getting the rebound!" Bynum complained helplessly.

At this point, because the Lakers had accumulated the maximum number of fouls, Su Hao was able to step up to the free-throw line to take the free throws.

Su Hao calmly took the basketball from the referee.

After adjusting his breathing and posture, he gently tossed the basketball, which drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed accurately in the basket—his first free throw was a clean sweep!

Immediately afterwards, the audience erupted in deafening cheers and shouts of encouragement.

However, the noise did not affect Su Hao's mindset at all. He focused intently on the basket, took a deep breath, and shot again.

With a soft "swish," the second free throw also swished through the net!

For Su Hao, free throws were as easy as taking candy from a baby; no matter how much external interference there was, it was all in vain for him.

Bynum bent down to pick up the basketball that had fallen to the ground, preparing to inbound the ball from the baseline.

At this moment, Su Hao suddenly ran in front of Bynum and deliberately made various exaggerated movements in an attempt to interfere with his serve.

Seeing this, Bynum immediately cried out with a bitter face, "Hey, Su Hao, you've gone too far! We've been beaten so badly by you guys, and you still come to interfere with my serve!"

Hearing this, Su Hao's lips curled up slightly, and he replied with a smile, "Alright then, since you put it that way, I'll leave, okay?" After saying that, he turned around and ran away quickly.

Seeing Su Hao well away from him, Bynum secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly passed the ball to Kobe. After all, in this team, perhaps only Kobe had the ability to score in such a disadvantageous situation.

Kobe, however, will be facing tight defense from opposing player Gordon.

Gordon raised his arms high, giving Kobe no chance to break through or shoot.

At that moment, everyone's attention was focused on the competition field.

Everyone knows that this game is very disadvantageous for the Lakers.

The Lakers undoubtedly pinned all their hopes on their star player Kobe Bryant, hoping he could turn the tide and break through their current scoring slump.

Kobe was seen moving back and forth outside the three-point line, the basketball in his hands flying up and down with his movements.

However, Gordon, the opposing defender, stayed close to Kobe, giving him no chance to score.

Kobe attempted several probing shots, but failed to shake off Gordon's tight defense.

Time ticked by, and Kobe was filled with anxiety.

With little time left on the shot clock, he finally made a decision—waving to his teammate Gasol in the paint, asking him to come and help with a pick-and-roll play.

Gasol understood immediately and quickly ran in front of Kobe, using his massive body to block Gordon's pursuit.

With Gasol's perfect screen, Kobe instantly gained a precious shooting opportunity.

In the blink of an eye, Kobe jumped and shot without hesitation, the whole movement flowing smoothly and seamlessly.

The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air and flew straight towards the basket.

Everyone on the sidelines held their breath, their eyes glued to the basketball flying through the air.

Something unexpected happened: the basketball swished through the net perfectly!

With a crisp "whoosh," the passion of the entire stadium was ignited.

Kobe received a warm cheer from Los Angeles fans.

Su Hao, who was about to jump up to grab the rebound, stopped in his tracks after the ball went in, a look of surprise on his face.

He then gave Kobe a thumbs-up on the outside, expressing his heartfelt admiration for the brilliant shot.

Kobe saw Su Hao giving him a thumbs-up from afar, and a slight smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips.

It's important to know that getting praise from Su Hao is no easy feat, as Su Hao is known for his discerning eye and rarely praises others.

At the same time, Gordon quickly ran to the baseline to serve.

Standing on the sidelines, Su Hao waved to Gordon and gestured for him to pass the ball to Curry.

Upon receiving the ball, Curry immediately dribbled forward, and as soon as he crossed the center line, he couldn't wait to pass the ball to Su Hao.

But Su Hao waved his hand repeatedly at Curry, signaling him not to pass the ball to him for the time being.

This move puzzled the audience. Did Su Hao not intend to participate in this attack?

Instead, he seems to be intentionally handing the reins to Curry, letting the latter take the lead in the offense.

Su Hao slowly walked to the corner and chatted with a few enthusiastic spectators beside him, seemingly completely detached from the intense competition.

"Su Hao, you actually have the leisure to interact with the fans?" Bynum shouted at Su Hao with a disdainful look.

Hearing this, Su Hao frowned slightly and replied irritably, "Hey, you're really meddling in my business! What's wrong with me interacting with the fans? Is that something you have to interfere with?"
