656 Su Hao is missing?!
656 Su Hao is missing?!
However, this time the Clippers were clearly prepared, and they quickly sent two players to rush forward and intercept him.
Despite Kemba Walker's agility, the height advantage of his two opponents was simply too obvious, which greatly interfered with and limited his shooting.
As a result, just as the ball left his fingertips, Clippers' David Lee leaped into the air, stretched out his long arms, and accurately swatted away the crucial shot.
With the successful block, the referee blew the whistle to end the first quarter.
Unfortunately, the Bobcats were unable to tie the game in this quarter.
The players from both sides left the field to rest briefly.
Meanwhile, the Lynx's group of youthful, beautiful, and energetic cheerleaders couldn't wait to take the stage, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the entire venue with their fiery dances and passionate performances.
"Coach, we still have a chance to turn the score around!" Carroll shouted excitedly to the head coach on the sidelines, who was frowning and thinking about tactics.
However, Kemba Walker, standing to the side, shook his head with a grave expression and slowly said, "It's easier said than done! You know, they haven't even sent out that terrifying Su Hao yet! Once he appears, we'll probably be back to square one in an instant..."
At this moment, Kemba Walker seemed to have suddenly gained enlightenment and become clear-headed.
Through his previous encounters with his opponent, he had already deeply appreciated Su Hao's extraordinary strength and unparalleled dominance.
"In my opinion, Su Hao shouldn't be able to play for the time being! If you don't believe me, look around, there's no sign of Su Hao on the Clippers' bench!" Bobcats' Brewer said with a smile to his teammates.
Upon hearing this, a group of Bobcats players turned their gaze toward the Clippers' bench.
Sure enough, just as Brewer said, Su Hao was no longer there.
Just then, a substitute player from the Bobcats suddenly spoke up: "Hey, you guys know what? Before the first quarter was even over, I saw Su Hao being called away by their team's general manager!"
"Hey, you're something else, actually having the leisure to keep an eye on the Clippers' bench!" Kemba Walker couldn't help but laugh jokingly.
However, in stark contrast to the relaxed atmosphere, Augustine solemnly reminded everyone: "Don't get too excited yet! Who can guarantee that Su Hao won't come back in the second quarter? If that happens, we'll probably just get beaten up again, without even having the strength to fight back!"
Upon hearing this, the previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent.
Immediately afterward, the Lynx's head coach raised his voice and shouted, "Listen up, all of you! How many times have I told you, what you need to worry about right now isn't whether Su Hao on the other side plays or not, but whether you can play this game well! Understand?"
"Yes, Coach!" Kemba Walker was the first to respond loudly, indicating that he would obey the coach's instructions.
Seeing this, the other team members quickly echoed in unison.
The other teammates nodded in agreement.
The other teammates all nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the Clippers' situation is not optimistic, because Su Hao has not yet appeared on the court, which has directly led to the Bobcats gradually closing the gap, which has now been reduced to only single digits.
What made the players even more uneasy was that when they looked around, they couldn't even find Su Hao on the sidelines, which undoubtedly cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.
"Coach, where is Su Hao?" David Lee asked head coach Mike Dunleavy with a look of anxiety.
Mike Dunleavy turned to look at David Lee with a suspicious expression, and asked in confusion, "Why are you in such a hurry to find Su Hao? Is it something very important?"
Upon hearing this, David Lee panicked and quickly waved his hands to explain, "No...no, I was just asking casually, it's nothing important!"
However, he then lowered his voice and muttered, "Coach, without Su Hao on the court to keep things in check, we probably wouldn't even be able to beat an opponent like the Bobcats!"
Although David Lee spoke very softly, Mike Dunleavy, with his sharp ears, still caught it.
However, the coach pretended not to hear anything and continued to watch the field expressionlessly.
At the same time, Curry also felt a little worried.
After all, Su Hao has always been a key figure and pillar of the team, and his absence is truly worrying. Moreover, no one can tell Curry where Su Hao went. Logically speaking, if he had only gone to the restroom, he should be back on the sidelines by now.
Thinking of this, Curry could no longer suppress his doubts and went straight to Mike Dunleavy in front of him to ask, "Coach, do you know where Su Hao went?"
Upon seeing that the person asking was Curry, Mike Dunleavy quickly explained, "Su Hao, just now, he was called away by our team's general manager. As for what it was about, I really don't know. How about this, you can ask him yourself when he gets back."
After hearing the head coach's words, Curry, who had been looking tense, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed somewhat. After all, he knew perfectly well that his shooting touch in this game had been abysmal, and without Su Hao's help, winning this game would have been incredibly difficult.
At this very moment, Su Hao, who was the focus of much attention, was in the room next to the locker room.
He was seen sitting in a circle with several key members of the management team.
The team's general manager broke the silence first, asking Su Hao, "Su Hao, what are your thoughts on our decision regarding this player trade?"
Upon hearing this, Su Hao looked surprised and asked suspiciously, "I'm currently playing a match! Why did you call me over like that? Shouldn't you have consulted with the head coach first?"
“We’ve had in-depth discussions with Mike Dunleavy about player trades,” the general manager said with a smile. “And he only has one condition for this trade: that all players except you and Curry are potential trade targets!”
