354 Su Hao battles the 3 giants!
"You're just showing off! You call that good luck? If I were as lucky as you, I wouldn't have ended up with the Heat!" LeBron James said with a resentful look.
Since Su Hao led the Clippers to the championship last season, a trend of star players teaming up has swept the league.
It is extremely rare for a team like the Heat to have three top-ten players in the league team up at once.
“The three of us are teaming up to defeat you!” Chris Bosh stepped forward and shouted loudly, showing no sign of backing down.
"Then let's see who prevails on the field." Su Hao's tone was calm, but his eyes revealed unwavering determination.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially kicked off.
The Clippers' starting lineup included Curry, Gordon, Rasul Butler, David Lee, and Suho.
The Heat started with Dwyane Wade, Mike Miller, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Joel Anthony.
At the start of the game, Su Hao and Joel Anthony stood at opposite ends of the center line, ready for the jump ball.
Su Hao's eyes were focused, his gaze fixed on the basketball, his muscles tense, ready to jump at any moment.
The referee tossed the ball high into the air, and both players jumped at the same time.
With his outstanding jumping ability, Su Hao touched the basketball first, and then swung his arm to pass the ball to Curry.
Curry received the ball and quickly started his run, rushing towards the opponent's basket like lightning.
The Heat players realized Curry was about to launch an attack, and they quickly sprang into action, deploying a tight defense.
However, Curry's dribbling skills were astonishing; he easily broke through the opponent's defense and rushed into the paint like a whirlwind.
Facing Joel Anthony under the basket, Curry displayed exceptional vision and selflessness.
Without hesitation, he passed the ball to Su Hao, who was following up.
After receiving the ball, Su Hao held it in his right hand and leaped lightly into the air, like a soaring eagle.
His movements were elegant and fluid, captivating all who saw them.
Joel Anthony, who had just been standing steadily under the basket, was intimidated by Su Hao's imposing presence and involuntarily took a few steps back.
His eyes widened, and he thought to himself: This guy is a monster!
With a loud bang, Su Hao completed the team's first attack with a powerful dunk.
The entire stadium was awestruck by his power, and the Heat's home fans fell silent instantly.
"Good grief, you slammed the ball right at the start of the game! Looks like it'll be tough to beat you guys today!" Wade muttered to himself as he watched Su Hao land.
He knew Su Hao's strength well and understood that this match would be full of challenges.
"Hey! This game has only just begun! You three have just formed a team, isn't this the perfect time to test your strength? Let the Clippers test the mettle of your Big Three combined!" Su Hao smiled at Wade, his eyes gleaming with confidence.
Wade knew that this was the first tough battle they had faced since the three of them teamed up.
At this moment, Wade quickly came to his senses, clapped his hands, and encouraged his teammates.
"Don't be discouraged, brothers! This is just the beginning, we still have a chance!"
The Heat reorganized their offense.
LeBron James passed the ball to Wade, who skillfully weaved through the crowd and headed straight for the basket.
Su Hao stayed close to defend him, but Wade fooled him with a fake move and jumped for a layup.
However, Su Hao reacted extremely quickly. He leaped high, stretched out his arm, and delivered a powerful block, swatting the ball out of bounds.
The audience gasped in amazement; Su Hao's defensive skills were truly admirable.
Because the ball was last touched by Su Hao.
Possession of the ball still belongs to the Heat.
Just then, Mike Miller stood on the baseline, ready to serve.
However, facing the Clippers' tight man-to-man defense, he was unable to pass the ball smoothly for a moment.
The atmosphere on the field became tense, and the audience held their breath, anticipating what would happen next.
Fortunately, Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra quickly sensed the tension on the sidelines and decisively called a timeout.
This decision temporarily relieved the pressure on the court, but it also prompted commentator Barkley to exclaim in surprise: "What's wrong with the Heat? They can't even inbound the ball? The game has only just begun!" His voice was full of surprise and confusion.
Another commentator, Miller, was relatively calmer, analyzing, "This precisely proves that the Clippers' defense was excellent. The Heat may need more time to gel, and the players' chemistry needs improvement. This game is indeed a bit worrying."
In fact, Mike Miller's original plan was to pass the ball to Joel Anthony under the basket for an offensive play. With only three seconds left on their shot clock, they had to make a decision quickly.
However, Su Hao's strong presence under the basket made it difficult for Joel Anthony to find an opportunity to receive the ball and shoot.
In this situation, Mike Miller had to hesitate, which almost resulted in a service error.
After the timeout, the Heat adjusted their tactics.
Miller passed the ball to Wade, who quickly dribbled past his opponent and drove to the basket.
But Su Hao had anticipated this, leaping high and delivering a solid block to Wade.
After the ball went out of bounds, the Heat's offensive clock had expired.
The Clippers gained possession of the ball.
Curry dribbled the ball up the court, reaching the three-point line, looking for an opportunity to pass the ball inside to Su Hao for a finish.
The Heat's defenders were hot on him, but Curry made a crossover, easily shaking off his opponent, and then passed the ball into the paint.
The ball sailed over the head of Mike Miller, who was directly guarding Curry, and was caught high by Su Hao.
Joel Anthony immediately stepped up to defend under the basket, and Su Hao took the low post one-on-one!
With just a simple turn of the back, he successfully bypassed it.
It ended with a powerful dunk.
The Heat called another timeout, and the coach encouraged the players to stay calm and play at their own pace.
Within two minutes of the start, the Heat had already called two timeouts.
"LeBron, you need to get involved in the offense, otherwise we have absolutely no chance of winning this game," Spoelstra said seriously to LeBron James.
And that's exactly what happened. From the start of the game until now, LeBron James has basically been dribbling the ball across half-court and then passing it to his teammates.
They didn't participate in the attack at all.
For more than two minutes, he didn't make a single move.
No points, no assists, not even a rebound.
“Yes!” LeBron James nodded at Spoelstra.
