372 Tony Parker has broken down!
Without Su Hao, I really don't know what tier of team the Clippers would become.
The only certainty is that without Su Hao, the Clippers have absolutely no chance of winning the championship.
The second quarter officially began with the referee's whistle.
The Spurs continued to keep Manu Ginobili on the court.
This is not only because of his outstanding performance in the first quarter.
It was also because of the trust that head coach Popovich placed in him.
As the Spurs' best sixth man, Ginobili has his own way of playing.
This game against the Spurs was another test of Su Hao's abilities.
The Spurs were giving it their all to win this game.
They also put Duncan and Tony Parker back on the court.
Duncan had no answer to Su Hao's dominant performance under the basket.
As a traditional center, Duncan possessed top-tier skills and abilities.
If he hadn't run into Su Hao today, he wouldn't have had to play so frustratingly in the paint.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially started.
Tony Parker has the ball on the perimeter, facing Gordon's tight defense.
He dribbled the ball and kept moving around outside the three-point line, trying to find a screen from his teammates.
With Su Hao guarding the basket, Tony Parker didn't dare to challenge the rim easily.
However, to his surprise, the Clippers fielded two centers at the start of the game.
Aldridge was also brought on, which meant Su Hao no longer needed to pay too much attention to the situation under the basket.
Just as Tony Parker was dribbling the ball looking for an opportunity, he suddenly noticed a figure several sizes bigger than himself in front of him.
He looked up and was shocked to see that the person was none other than Su Hao.
Su Hao's appearance startled Tony Parker, who never expected Su Hao to defend the perimeter.
In reality, this was Tony Parker's own mistake. He didn't notice that the Clippers had sent out two interior players, which gave Su Hao the opportunity.
Su Hao has always been an excellent defender. He can guard positions one through five and is very good at switching and helping on defense.
His appearance in front of Tony Parker at that moment undoubtedly put immense pressure on the Spurs' point guard.
"Stop standing there, pass the ball!"
Upon hearing this, Tony Parker seemed to snap out of his daze and reacted quickly.
He tried to lob the ball inside and pass it to Tim Duncan.
Because he knew perfectly well that Su Hao was not under the basket, which might give them a scoring opportunity.
After all, Aldridge is just a rookie, and it will be difficult for him to gain an advantage against the experienced and powerful Duncan.
However, Tony Parker underestimated Su Hao's defensive abilities.
Su Hao spread his arms wide, blocking Tony Parker's path like a wall.
At this moment, Tony Parker couldn't find a suitable passing option.
As the attack time ticked away, he began to feel anxious.
Left with no other option, Tony Parker decided to utilize his agility and speed to try and shake off Su Hao and make one last shot.
To his surprise, when he turned and sped up, Su Hao followed closely like his shadow, not falling behind at all.
With the shot clock about to expire, Tony Parker had no choice but to grit his teeth and force a shot against Su Hao.
However, the instant the basketball left his fingers, Su Hao, like a raptor, snatched the ball down from mid-air.
Su Hao quickly turned to the side and then dashed toward the opponent's basket like lightning.
The Spurs players behind him tried to stay close and set up a defense, but they were helpless to find that Su Hao was as fast as the wind and had rushed to the frontcourt in an instant.
Just a step away from the free-throw line, Su Hao leaped up like a shooting star across the sky, completing a breathtaking gliding dunk.
The entire basketball hoop shook violently under Su Hao's powerful impact, as if to proclaim the ferocity of this attack.
The audience was captivated by Su Hao's amazing performance, and couldn't help but exclaim and cheer.
However, what was even more surprising was that the Spurs players originally thought Su Hao would play center or power forward, so most of them went to defend the opposing guards outside the three-point line.
Unexpectedly, Su Hao caught up with the counter-attack with astonishing speed, displaying the agility and nimbleness of a defender. Su Hao was unstoppable; he demonstrated top-level speed and technique.
Even the experienced Tony Parker was stunned by the sight before him.
He never expected Su Hao to possess such outstanding speed and explosiveness, capable of launching a rapid counterattack even with the ball. This made him exclaim, "Is this the real-life 'Hulk'?"
In the audience, people praised Su Hao's performance.
Someone shouted excitedly, "As expected of Su Hao, I bet he can get fifty points today!"
The other person retorted, not to be outdone: "Fifty points is too little. I dare say he'll get at least sixty points today!"
Some people even boldly predicted: "You guys are being too conservative. I think he's capable of getting a perfect score!"
The atmosphere was lively, and everyone had high expectations for Su Hao.
The fans on the sidelines were excitedly discussing the points Su Hao might get in this game.
Judging from the current progress, scoring 50 points seems to be no problem, but that's not the limit yet.
The key is how long the Spurs can hold on.
If they can put up a strong fight, Su Hao will stay on the court longer, and his scoring and other statistics will continue to climb.
"Su Hao, why aren't you guarding the basket? What are you doing running out to defend me?" Tony Parker was getting annoyed by Su Hao's tight defense and couldn't help but complain.
Su Hao smiled helplessly and replied, "Isn't there a center teammate under the basket? Was my defense against you successful?"
Su Hao's words left Tony Parker speechless, and tears seemed to well up in his eyes.
If they keep defending like this, they'll definitely make Tony Parker cry.
Because Su Hao's defense against him could hardly be described as successful.
Under Su Hao's strong defense, Tony Parker couldn't even find a single opportunity to break through.
Popovich on the sidelines still had a stern face.
Ginobili has the ball, and the Spurs continue their attack.
This time, Su Hao did not appear on the outside.
Instead, Aldridge went to the perimeter to defend.
Seeing that Su Hao did not leave the three-second zone this time.
Ginobili decided to take the shot himself.
He was also worried that if Su Hao appeared on the outside again during the ball passing, it wouldn't be a good thing for them.
Facing David Lee's defense, Ginobili opted for a step-back jump shot.
This is a two-point shot.
Because one of his feet was on the three-point line.
