Chapter 603 Give the ball to Kobe!
Finally, the basketball lived up to expectations and landed steadily in the hoop with a crisp and pleasant "swish".
The entire stadium erupted in thunderous cheers.
The teammates on the sidelines also started waving their towels.
On the court, Su Hao stared at the basket, completely ignoring Gasol who was defending him.
In the blink of an eye, after receiving the ball, he jumped up and shot without hesitation. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew straight towards the basket.
Yang Yi, the commentator, exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! Su Hao doesn't even take Gasol seriously! He shot without thinking when he saw Gasol was guarding him!"
Sitting next to her, Su Qun continued, "That's right! Even Bynum couldn't jump over Su Hao before, and Gasol was even more helpless! It seems this game will be very difficult for the Lakers!"
At this moment, Coach Zhang interjected with a smile: "But everyone, don't rush to conclusions. Although Kobe hasn't fully demonstrated his abilities yet, as long as the Lakers can firmly hand the ball to Kobe, I think they still have the ability to compete with their opponents!"
Yang Yi nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right, you're right."
Judging from the game, Kobe was actively looking for shooting opportunities, and judging from his shooting motion and rhythm, his touch seemed pretty good.
However, the Clippers were simply more consistent in scoring compared to the Clippers.
Just as the two were talking, there were only 13 seconds left in the first quarter.
Just now, Su Hao successfully hit a crucial shot, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the stadium.
Seeing this, the Lakers' head coach quickly called a timeout, clearly wanting to seize the time to carefully plan the team's final offensive play at the end of the first quarter.
After the timeout, the players ran back onto the field.
As soon as Su Hao returned to the sidelines, he was immediately surrounded by his excited teammates, who congratulated and encouraged him.
Meanwhile, the fans at the scene showed their enthusiasm, standing up and waving their arms vigorously at Su Hao, shouting his name loudly.
Without a doubt, Su Hao has become the undisputed protagonist in this fierce competition!
"Su Hao, you don't need to play for the remaining half minute. Just rest on the sidelines!" Mike Dunleavy said with a smile as he turned to Su Hao.
Upon hearing the coach's instructions, Su Hao quickly turned around and nodded vigorously at Mike Dunleavy, indicating that he fully understood and agreed with the coach's arrangements.
Immediately afterwards, Aldridge walked to the center of the field, preparing to replace Su Hao and enter the game.
At this moment, Su Hao, who was standing on the sidelines, patted Aldridge on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Aldridge, you have to seize this opportunity and give an outstanding performance!"
Aldridge felt the trust and support from his teammates, and he confidently replied, "Don't worry, I'll give it my all!"
On the other side, the Lakers' head coach was equally determined. During the brief timeout, he quickly gathered the players together, gripping the tactical board tightly and demonstrating various tactical maneuvers.
His focused and serious expression revealed that he was meticulously devising new offensive tactics for the team's star player, Kobe.
With the referee's whistle.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
When the audience saw that Su Hao had not returned to the field and had been replaced by Aldridge, the atmosphere at the scene subtly changed.
The Lakers' morale, which had been somewhat low, instantly soared, especially their star player Kobe Bryant, whose eyes blazed with fighting spirit.
Gasol calmly passed the ball to Kobe, who immediately charged towards the three-point line like a cheetah.
Despite facing Gordon's tight defense, Kobe appeared calm and composed, handling the situation with ease.
He dribbled the basketball skillfully, sometimes feinting to the left, sometimes quickly changing direction to the right, making it difficult for Gordon to figure out his true intentions.
Clearly, Kobe wasn't in a hurry to shoot; he seemed intent on exhausting his team's offensive time before taking the shot at the last moment.
All eyes were on the superstar, hoping he would make the shot.
With four seconds left on the shot clock, Kobe took the shot over Gordon's defense.
I wonder if it's because Su Hao wasn't there.
Kobe's shot this time appeared to be full of confidence.
In the end, the ball went into the net swish-swish.
After seeing his shot hit the target.
Kobe turned his gaze toward the Clippers' bench.
Su Hao was unaware of what was happening on the field and was chatting with his assistant coach.
Curry then called a timeout.
The Clippers have 2 seconds left to attack!
The last two seconds of the first quarter.
After Curry called a timeout, he came over to Su Hao.
"Su Hao, you take the last shot of the final quarter! None of us are confident we can make that basket 100% of the time! It's your turn!" Curry said to Su Hao, who was sitting in a chair.
"Stephen, I've only been off the court for less than a minute! Why are you calling me back up again? Just keep shooting! We're already leading by so many points! What are you afraid of? Just go for it!" Su Hao shouted to Curry with a big smile.
Upon hearing Su Hao's words, David Lee immediately chimed in, "That's right, listen to Su Hao, just go all out and shoot, we don't care about that little bit of score advantage anyway!"
At this moment, Curry had some doubts, but since his teammates had said so, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and step forward to prepare to shoot this crucial final shot.
Meanwhile, the Clippers' actions drew attention and speculation from the audience and their opponents, the Lakers.
Bynum frowned and muttered, "Is the Clippers planning to send Su Hao up to take this crucial last shot? They're already leading by so many points, and they're still being so cautious and petty!"
However, the experienced Kobe had a different opinion. He calmly analyzed, "Don't underestimate the Clippers. They're not being stingy; they're just being cautious. In my opinion, they're very likely to bring Su Hao in for this round."
Just as everyone was discussing it, the brief pause ended.
With the referee's whistle, the game resumed.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Clippers did not bring Su Hao into the game as expected, and kept the same lineup on the court.
