20demayo 564 James' three-pointer!
564 James' three-pointer!
It looked as if the basketball hoop was about to collapse at any moment.
After dunking, Su Hao quickly dodged away.
"My God, this is absolutely brutal! This basketball hoop, which has been specially reinforced, is almost unable to withstand Su Hao's terrifying strength!"
The crowd watching the game couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
Indeed, if this hadn't been a reinforced basketball hoop, it probably would have been torn apart by Su Hao's thunderous force long ago.
Just then, Curry strode over and excitedly high-fived Su Hao, who had just completed an amazing dunk.
He joked with a smile, "Hey, Su Hao, you'd better take it easy! Look at your big, strong physique, even this incredibly hard basketball hoop probably wouldn't be able to withstand your fierce and powerful dunks!"
Hearing Curry's words, Su Hao spread his hands innocently and helplessly, replying, "Oh, this has nothing to do with me! You can only blame yourself for not making that shot cleanly! If that shot had gone in, I wouldn't have needed to rush up and desperately try to dunk it. Besides, you all know that jumping from that far away and then leaping to dunk, it's naturally difficult for me to control my strength perfectly!"
After hearing Su Hao's explanation, Curry looked a little aggrieved and pouted, saying, "Okay, okay, then it's my fault!" The two smiled at each other and then started chatting and laughing again, completely ignoring the tense and exciting atmosphere on the court.
Bosh and the other Heat players, who witnessed everything from the sidelines, all looked solemn and extremely depressed.
They knew very well that today's game was not an ordinary regular season match, but a highly anticipated Christmas Day game! At this moment, the Clippers' home court was filled with the family and friends of both teams' players.
Of course, the wives and children of Heat players like LeBron James were also present, eagerly watching their team win this crucial matchup.
However, the current situation is clearly not optimistic for the Heat.
Just moments ago, when everyone witnessed James showing signs of injury, his gentle and virtuous wife couldn't help but look worried, gazing at her husband on the court with concern.
Fortunately, after some observation and confirmation, it was found that the situation did not seem serious and was just a false alarm. The weight that had been hanging over everyone's hearts was finally lifted a little.
At that moment, Chalmers passed the ball steadily to James.
Right now, the entire responsibility of organizing the Heat has been handed over to James, who plays small forward. He held the basketball, dribbled steadily across the midcourt line, and arrived at the top of the key.
Surprisingly, as time passed, he showed no intention of launching an attack whatsoever.
This situation gradually made the spectators watching from the sidelines anxious.
"Hey, what is James doing? This is so unlike his usual style of play! He clearly has the ball in his hands right now, so why isn't he launching an attack? Is he thinking about passing the ball out?"
Yang Yi couldn't help but ask this question, as if representing all the audience in posing a profound and thought-provoking question to James on the court.
Su Qun, standing to the side, smiled and replied, "Don't rush. Maybe James is carefully considering how to launch this attack right now. After all, he had a fierce collision with his opponent Su Hao earlier because he resolutely drove towards the paint, and almost got injured as a result. So, it might not be a wise move to rashly choose to force a drive into the paint now!"
At this moment, James was very clear that if he continued to force his way into the paint, he would likely encounter many obstacles.
Especially when Su Hao is guarding the inside, it is almost an impossible task to break through the defense and score.
Not only that, but if you're not careful, you might be mercilessly thrown into a hot pot by Su Hao and ruthlessly sealed off.
After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, James decided to change his strategy and stop risking attacks on the inside.
He paced back and forth outside the three-point line, searching for the best shooting opportunity.
Suddenly, he stopped abruptly and jumped, the basketball in his hand flying straight out like an arrow.
The basketball soared high over David Lee's head, hurtling towards the basket in a beautiful arc.
"Swish!" The crisp sound of the net going in rang out, and the entire Heat bench erupted in cheers.
James watched the basketball swish through the hoop, and the weight lifted from his heart, a relieved smile spreading across his face. At that moment, he felt a great sense of ease wash over him.
This beautiful three-pointer undoubtedly brought a new turning point for the Heat, giving them renewed hope of catching up and turning the tide.
The commentators on the sidelines also had a heated discussion about the goal.
Yang Yi said with a smile, "James' three-pointer didn't look like a fluke! Just look at the confidence he had when he released it, you knew this shot was going to be a winner!"
Su Qun, standing to the side, nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, it definitely wasn't just a guess! I noticed before the game that he had been practicing his three-point shot diligently, so this shot must have been prepared in advance."
However, the experienced Coach Zhang offered a different perspective, laughing and saying, "There was definitely an element of luck involved in that shot, but regardless, James was incredibly bold! To dare to take a decisive shot at such a crucial moment and actually make it is truly amazing!"
As soon as James put the basketball into the basket, a deafening roar of cheers and applause erupted from the crowd.
This is probably because they are relieved to see that James has not been affected by the injury!
Wade, Bosh, and other teammates excitedly rushed over and gave James a high-five in celebration.
At that moment, the Heat felt as if they were seeing spring.
However, despite the spectacular three-pointer, it failed to completely reverse the Heat's current predicament.
Keep in mind that this is only the first quarter of the game, but even after hitting this crucial three-pointer, the Heat are still trailing their powerful opponent, the Clippers, by a whopping 12 points!
Moreover, it should be noted that this is even before Clippers' core player, Su Hao, has truly shown his full potential.
Immediately afterwards, the Clippers took control of the ball and launched a new round of offense.
