Su Hao enters the fray and stabilizes the situation!
Su Hao enters the fray and stabilizes the situation!
Thibodu's expression was solemn. He knew Su Hao's strength and influence, but he couldn't show frustration or despair at this moment.
He took a deep breath and tried to remain calm as he replied, "We can't give up just because our opponents are strong. The game isn't over yet. As long as we give it our all, we can create a miracle. Now is not the time to think about whether we can turn the tide, but to focus on every round and try to narrow the gap."
However, Thibodeau himself understood that it would be extremely difficult for the Bulls to reverse the score against Su Hao, who was in excellent form.
But as the head coach, he must give the players confidence and motivation, making them believe that anything is possible.
The atmosphere on the field was tense and intense, with both teams giving their all in hopes of securing victory in the final moments.
The match began with the referee's whistle.
Su Hao quickly rushed into the paint, preparing to position himself for the rebound.
Upon seeing this, Gordon, who had the ball on the perimeter, did not hesitate to throw the ball high, aiming directly at the top of the basket.
Boozer and other Bulls players under the basket jumped up, trying to intercept the pass in mid-air, but the ball's trajectory was too high for them to reach.
Just when everyone thought the Clippers would make a mistake, a figure suddenly leaped up from the crowd.
He caught the basketball with one hand and then slammed it into the basket.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Su Hao, who had just come on as a substitute.
"Wow! Su Hao is so domineering as soon as he enters the game! I thought no one could catch this ball, but he did it so easily!" Yang Yi exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, that's amazing! Su Hao didn't exert any effort at all, it was as if he could just jump lightly and spike the ball in! That's his skill!" Su Qun exclaimed excitedly.
"Su Hao is really amazing! If the Lakers had such a strong inside player, Kobe wouldn't have had to work so hard, and he could have won many more championship rings in his career!" Coach Zhang is still thinking about Kobe! He truly deserves to be Kobe's number one fan!
The audience was stunned by this scene, and cheers rose and fell.
The teammates on the bench also started to get excited; they hadn't seen their teammates perform like this for more than half a quarter.
The players and coaches on the Bulls' bench no longer showed the joy they had shown earlier.
When they saw Su Hao actually perform a powerful dunk on his own rim, they realized that this was the difference between the two teams.
Su Hao's performance has shown people his great strength and unlimited potential, and everyone has high expectations for him.
Su Hao's return has boosted the Clippers' morale, and they have shown a higher level of play on both offense and defense.
The Bulls, on the other hand, face immense pressure. They need to execute an efficient offense within a limited timeframe while simultaneously limiting Su Hao's performance.
In the next few minutes, the two teams engaged in a fierce competition.
Su Hao scored multiple points with his outstanding individual skills, helping the Clippers consolidate their lead.
He moved around the court like a cheetah, each shot threatening.
The Bulls, not to be outdone, continued to look for opportunities through teamwork, attempting to narrow the gap.
With just two minutes left in the game, Curry couldn't help but walk up to Su Hao and whisper, "Su Hao, did you forget to pass me the ball? I still need two more three-pointers!"
Su Hao was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said, "Wow, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. Well then, you can take the next shot!"
After the Bulls' attack failed, the Clippers gained possession of the ball.
Curry quickly moved to find the best shooting opportunity.
Su Hao drove to the basket, drawing a double team from the Bulls, and then cleverly passed the ball to Curry, who was open.
However, just as Curry was about to shoot, Bogans and Rose double-teamed him.
Curry had no choice but to pass the ball back to Su Hao.
After receiving the ball, the latter did not choose to complete the attack himself, but instead passed the ball to Gordon, who was closest to Curry.
Gordon, after receiving the ball, was about to lob it to Su Hao under the basket again when Su Hao stopped him.
He gestured with his eyes to pass the ball to Curry at the top of the arc.
Understanding the intention, Gordon chose to pass the ball to Rico.
After receiving the pass from his teammate, Curry glanced at the basket and then at the defender in front of him, Bogans.
Due to his extended playing time, Bogans' physical condition has become problematic.
Curry successfully shook off David Lee with just one screen.
He then immediately launched a three-pointer.
The basketball traced a less-than-perfect arc in the air but failed to hit the rim.
It was Su Hao again; he grabbed the offensive rebound amidst the crowd.
After landing, he passed the ball to Curry on the outside.
Seeing Su Hao grab the offensive rebound, he didn't take the shot himself, but instead passed it to him.
Curry also smiled.
However, the Bulls players could tell that Curry was about to shoot another three-pointer.
Bogans and Luol Deng attacked from both sides, forming a pincer movement around Curry.
For a moment, Curry found himself unable to make a shot.
Just as Curry was about to lose the ball and commit a turnover, Su Hao surprisingly moved from the inside to the outside.
He set a screen for Curry, using his large frame to create space for Curry to shoot.
Using the space created by Su Hao's screen, Curry launched another three-pointer.
The basketball went straight into the basket.
Curry excitedly patted Su Hao's arm after scoring the goal.
"It has to be you! Without you, I don't know when I would have made that three-pointer! Now I only need one more three-pointer, so you have to give me your full support!" Curry, sticking out his braces, grinned and made a face at Su Hao.
"You're really something! You're one short, huh? Well then, just keep shooting for the last minute or so!" Su Hao shook his head helplessly.
In order to help Curry achieve his small goal, Su Hao actively cooperated.
Even though there are less than two minutes left in the game, and they are only leading the Bulls by 7 points.
Su Hao still decided to let Curry achieve his goal of ten three-pointers.
The Bulls are on offense.
With just over a minute left in the game, the Bulls refused to give up.
Rose had the ball at the top of the key and chose to drive hard into the paint in the final moments.
As a result, after getting past Gordon on the outside, he faced the defense of the interior behemoth Su Hao.
He tried to score again, but ended up getting blocked.
The basketball was slapped back into half-court by Su Hao.
Rose then fell heavily to the ground.
Rose looked extremely pained after landing.
