Chapter 637 An Inconceivable Pass!
Chapter 637 An Inconceivable Pass!
Despite David Lee's best efforts to stop him, he was ultimately unable to halt O'Neal's unstoppable momentum.
O'Neal easily jumped up, raised the ball high, and then threw it forcefully, the basketball landing accurately in the basket.
As the referee blew the whistle, this brilliant goal secured two points for the Celtics.
Unable to effectively defend against O'Neal, David Lee could only helplessly bend down to pick up the basketball that had fallen to the ground and quickly walk to the baseline to prepare to inbound the ball.
Standing on the baseline, David Lee took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and forcefully threw the ball onto the court.
The basketball arced through the air and landed precisely in Curry's hands.
Curry caught the ball with lightning speed, but surprisingly, he didn't dribble even one extra step as usual.
He glanced across the court and made a decision in an instant, passing the basketball straight to Su Hao on the other side.
Seeing this, the Celtics players dared not be complacent or underestimate their opponents.
They all stared intently at the basketball in Su Hao's hand, as if facing a formidable enemy, afraid that the slightest carelessness would give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage.
However, despite such close surveillance, Su Hao remained unusually calm and confident.
He dribbled the basketball at a leisurely pace, circling around the perimeter with ease.
Just when everyone thought he was just killing time, suddenly, Su Hao flashed and cleverly used a feint to fool the defender.
Then, something astonishing happened—Su Hao, seemingly unintentionally, passed the ball quickly through Pierce's legs in an unbelievable way and accurately to the bottom corner.
At that moment, Curry, who had already made his run to the spot, received the perfect pass.
The Celtics' defenders were clearly stunned by Su Hao's brilliant pass, so much so that when Curry received the ball, they hadn't even had time to get back on defense.
Curry naturally wouldn't let this golden opportunity slip by. He jumped up without hesitation and shot, the basketball arcing gracefully through the air before heading straight for the basket.
With a crisp "swish," the basketball swished through the net!
The entire stadium erupted in cheers, with spectators applauding the brilliant teamwork and goal.
Curry was ecstatic after scoring, shaking his head and gesturing with three fingers towards Su Hao.
"Su Hao, you actually passed the ball! Everyone said you never passed the ball before?" Pierce yelled at Su Hao, somewhat exasperated.
"Hmph! Who told you this guy doesn't pass the ball? I bet if he doesn't pass, we'll have to send five guys to surround me!"
Faced with Pierce's accusations, Su Hao simply smiled easily.
As the game progressed, the intense competition made the atmosphere on the field increasingly tense.
At this point, the third quarter was about to end.
The Celtics, who had been unable to find a way to deal with Su Hao, have now completely lost control of the game.
On the other hand, the Clippers, thanks to the excellent teamwork and seamless coordination between Su Hao and his teammates, scored repeatedly and successfully widened the score gap to more than 20 points!
With only thirty seconds left, the Celtics had possession of the ball.
Rondo caught the ball smoothly from his teammate, then quickly moved to the outside, his sharp eyes scanning the entire court, trying to find an opportunity to strike.
Surprisingly, this time it wasn't Su Hao who was responsible for guarding Rondo, but Gordon.
Nevertheless, Rondo resolutely decided to use his individual skills to end the final offensive play of the quarter.
With the shot clock ticking away and only two seconds remaining, Rondo decisively chose to shoot.
Unfortunately, fate did not seem to favor the Celtics. The moment the ball left their fingertips, everyone could clearly feel the deviation in its flight trajectory.
The basketball veered straight off the rim, ultimately just grazing the net before mercilessly flying out of bounds.
They didn't even give the Celtics a chance to grab a rebound.
Seeing that the basketball was about to go completely airball, Rondo couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, secretly annoyed by his terrible shooting touch.
Meanwhile, David Lee leisurely picked up the basketball that had fallen to the ground, seemingly unaware of the urgency of the situation.
"Hey, can you hurry up? You're taking forever to finish just one round!" Su Hao shouted at David Lee impatiently.
Hearing this, David Lee didn't take it to heart and replied with a grin, "Oh, don't rush me. The game is almost over anyway, let me enjoy my time on the field a little longer!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and pass the ball to me!" Su Hao urged impatiently.
With Su Hao constantly urging him on, David Lee finally dared not delay any longer and quickly passed the ball over.
At this moment, it was the Clippers' final attack in the third quarter, and everyone's eyes were focused on Su Hao.
Su Hao caught the basketball steadily, then quickly turned around to face the tight defense of several Celtics players.
Su Hao had the basketball firmly under his control.
This is undoubtedly the scenario the Celtics least want to see.
Keep in mind that if the ball had been in the hands of another player, there might have been a slight chance that the shot would have gone in.
However, once the ball was in Su Hao's hands, the situation changed completely—they had to be on tenterhooks, fearing that Su Hao would easily sink the shot.
After all, Su Hao's near 100% shooting accuracy is no exaggeration.
As expected, this time the Celtics sent five players to surround Su Hao, trying to prevent him from shooting. The whole scene instantly became tense; the air seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Su Hao's next move.
Surprisingly, Su Hao did not choose to force a shot.
At this moment, he is facing a tight encirclement and interception from five opposing players, and the situation is extremely tense.
But at this critical moment, Su Hao flashed forward and, with a nutmeg pass, accurately delivered the ball to Curry.
When Curry received the ball, there were only two seconds left on the shot clock.
He quickly looked up at Su Hao, expecting Su Hao to reach out again to signal for possession of the ball, but to his surprise, Su Hao did not make such a move.
Instead, he conveyed a clear message to Curry through his facial expressions: Curry should take the crucial shot.
