366 has the Heat firmly under his control!
This shot was a huge blow to Wade and the Heat.
They never expected that Wade would airball a shot at a crucial moment when the team needed to score.
This not only cost the Heat a golden scoring opportunity, but also caused an uproar among the audience.
"Su Hao's defense left Wade with nowhere to escape, and he actually airballed a three-pointer. He's going to be on tomorrow's Shaqtin' a Fool!" Barkley couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw this scene.
Miller, standing nearby, commented, "You can't entirely blame Wade. After all, Su Hao is a size bigger than Wade, and he's had a long rest and is full of energy. In contrast, Wade has played almost the entire game, so his stamina is definitely not up to par!" However, in reality, Wade's airball wasn't entirely due to fatigue, but more so because of the immense defensive pressure Su Hao put on him.
Under Su Hao's tight defense, Wade couldn't find any shooting opportunities and could only force a shot, resulting in this embarrassing airball.
Possession returned to the Clippers, and substitute Beldeso quickly passed the ball to Warren, who was also off the bench. Warren dribbled the ball up the court quickly and then passed it without hesitation to Su Hao in the paint.
At this moment, Haslem used all his strength to hold off Su Hao, trying to prevent him from scoring inside.
But Su Hao, with his strong physique and excellent skills, successfully shook off Haslem's defense and leaped high, ready to complete the attack inside.
He couldn't withstand Su Hao's attack by himself. Chris Bosh understood perfectly and positioned himself next to Su Hao as soon as Su Hao received the ball.
They tried to double-team Su Hao in advance, but Su Hao wasn't so easily double-teamed!
Su Hao received the ball, raised it high, and put it into the basket.
Haslem and Chris Bosh could only watch helplessly as Su Hao put the ball into the basket, unable to do anything about it.
They had no interest in Su Hao at all.
"Damn it!" Bosh cursed under his breath, turning to look at Wade with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Wade and LeBron James immediately spread their hands, indicating their utter speechlessness. The Heat called a timeout.
Spoelstra sighed helplessly, "Let's just give up on this game! There's only half a quarter left. Although we're only down by fifteen points, with Su Hao on the court, it won't be easy for us to catch up! Forget it!"
"Coach, it's just a regular season game. We're still in the process of getting the players to mesh. Let's see if they can beat us next time we play!" Chris Bosh said with a serious expression.
"Exactly! When we face each other again next time, I don't believe they can beat us so easily!" Battier said, standing up from the bench.
Other Heat players shared their opinions on the game, with some believing they should persevere while others thought the situation was beyond saving and it was better to give up sooner rather than later.
However, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade remained surprisingly calm and did not utter a sound.
After some discussion, the Heat ultimately decided to forfeit the game and field a completely reserve lineup.
This decision caused an uproar among the audience, who had been hoping the Heat would launch a comeback in the final moments, but the team unexpectedly chose to give up.
At this point, the Clippers were unaware that the Heat were about to substitute all their key players.
However, this was irrelevant to them, as Su Hao was leading four substitute players back onto the field.
As the game continued, the Heat finally decided to substitute all their key players.
Shortly after the start of the game, Su Hao successfully blocked the Heat's backup center's layup in the paint.
Immediately afterwards, the ball was passed to Warren, who passed it to Su Hao without hesitation.
This time, Su Hao faced a double team again, but he remained calm and successfully fooled his opponents with a clever fake move before jumping to shoot.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air and swished perfectly into the net.
However, unlike before, Su Hao did not show an overly aggressive side when facing the opponent's substitute players, but instead chose a relatively easy way to score.
After scoring several baskets under the basket, Su Hao realized that there was little point in him staying on the court, and he might even be ridiculed by the Heat fans in the arena, who would think he was bullying the substitute players.
Therefore, he decisively signaled to the referee on the field to request a timeout.
As the whistle blew, the situation on the field became clear.
At this point, the Clippers, led by Su Hao, had widened the score gap to more than twenty points.
With only two minutes left in the game, the match was about to end.
Seeing Su Hao finally walk off the court, the Heat players sitting on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief.
"He's finally willing to step onto the field!"
They secretly rejoiced, thinking that if Su Hao had stayed on the court, the score difference in this game would probably have exceeded thirty points.
This opponent was so powerful that they felt powerless to resist.
The fans who originally planned to watch the rest of the game got up and left the stadium one after another after Su Hao left the field.
After all, the outcome of the match was already decided, and they didn't want to waste any more time.
Su Hao returned to the sidelines and high-fived each of his teammates in celebration.
Then, Paul George voluntarily gave up a bench seat for Su Hao.
Su Hao smiled slightly at him to express his gratitude, but did not say anything more.
He plopped down without any hesitation, savoring the ease and joy of victory. Despite being just a rookie, Paul George was well aware of Su Hao's status and influence on the team.
As the team's core player, Su Hao holds an unshakable place in the hearts of his teammates.
Through this move, Paul George successfully won Su Hao's favor, earning himself more playing time. This is precisely the charm of basketball teamwork; everyone strives for better performance and more opportunities for development.
"The game is finally over, we can have a good two-day rest!" Curry said, covering his head with a towel.
After the Clippers finish this back-to-back game, they can rest for two consecutive days.
This is a rare opportunity for the players to catch their breath, allowing them to temporarily escape the intense schedule and recover their physical and mental state.
In their next game, the Clippers will return to their home court to face the formidable Spurs.
The Spurs have always been one of the strongest teams in the league, possessing an excellent roster and tactical system.
This game will undoubtedly be a tough battle, and a severe test for the Clippers.
