Chapter 595: Sweeping the Heat in the Regular Season!
Chapter 595: Sweeping the Heat in the Regular Season!
Su Hao nodded slightly, acknowledging the coach's arrangement.
"Coach, you don't even need to ask him! I guarantee he'll agree without hesitation!"
Look, we're all sitting on the sidelines resting.
"In my opinion, he doesn't want to stay on the court anymore, since it's already garbage time!" Curry smiled and gave Su Hao a friendly but slightly teasing look.
It's clear that deep down, Curry also really hoped that Su Hao could get some rest off the court.
After all, at this moment, the team is already far ahead of the opponent, and this game is a highly anticipated Christmas Day match!
We can't let Su Hao be the sole focus of attention and steal the spotlight all the time, can we?
After careful consideration, the Clippers finally made their decision.
Let Su Hao stay on the sidelines and rest well.
At the same time, Mike Dunleavy made a quick decision and sent out five benchwarmers who rarely got a chance to play.
In this way, both teams fielded entirely substitutes, while all the starters sat on the sidelines as spectators.
As the game progressed into the latter half of the Christmas Day match, the outcome became completely predictable, and this period almost turned into utter garbage time.
"Beep beep—!"
The referee blew the whistle to end the timeout.
Immediately afterwards, both teams returned to the field, ready to continue their contest.
However, when everyone realized that both sides had sent players who rarely had the opportunity to play, the already lively atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
At this moment, Barkley, who was in the commentary box, naturally wouldn't let this golden opportunity slip by. His eyes darted around, and he couldn't wait to start stirring up trouble...
"This game doesn't feel like a Christmas Day game at all. The Heat were defeated by the Clippers so easily again! It's really unbelievable! They only played half a quarter before it became garbage time!" Barkley said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Haha! Are you questioning the Heat's strength? You know they're a strong team in the East, and one of the teams with a very good chance of making it to the Finals this season!" Miller said with a laugh.
As they spoke, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.
Both sides are playing with only substitutes for the remainder of the game.
Su Hao and his teammates, including Curry, sat calmly on the sidelines.
On the Heat's side, some players, including James and Wade, have already started returning to the locker room.
"Look, the Heat's bench is completely empty. Many players are nowhere to be seen! Are they really ashamed of their crushing defeat?"
Barkley's mouth is really sharp; he kept making fun of the Heat.
Miller, standing to the side, simply smiled slightly and didn't respond.
Although the game had already entered what is considered garbage time, surprisingly, not a single one of the Clippers' enthusiastic home fans chose to leave early.
Looking at the big-name celebrities sitting on the sidelines, they were all chatting casually, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Taylor Swift, whom we all know, is sitting not far from Su Hao right now.
However, they only exchanged glances and that was it.
After all, this is the venue for a match, and as professional players, they certainly can't lose their professional ethics.
It's working hours now, so it's probably not appropriate to openly express your love here.
Therefore, it's best to save these matters of personal feelings for your rest time to slowly express them.
Before they knew it, the fierce competition between the two sides finally came to an end.
Everyone was excitedly anticipating a close and exciting match, but who could have predicted that the final result would be such a one-sided affair?
The Heat seemed to have lost their fighting spirit on the court, showing absolutely no resistance.
Even with the support of the renowned "Three Giants" of the martial arts world, they still seemed helpless and unable to withstand Su Hao's fierce attacks.
The whole game is over.
The final score was 120-90.
The Clippers defeated the Heat by a huge margin of 30 points in this Christmas Day game.
They swept the Heat in the regular season.
After the match, Su Hao gave a post-match interview to an official reporter.
The reporter handed the microphone to Su Hao, asking with a broad smile, "Su Hao, you guys had a resounding victory today. What do you think was the key to that win?"
Su Hao scratched his head and said with a smile, "Our defense was excellent today. Everyone was very aggressive in fighting for rebounds, and everyone also seized their opportunities on offense."
In fact, Su Hao grabbed most of the team's rebounds, especially offensive rebounds.
Su Hao took care of everything.
This is one of the reasons why the Clippers defeated the Heat so easily.
The Clippers outrebounded the Heat by 18 in rebounds alone.
The offensive rebounding ratio was even higher at 15 to 1.
This huge gap also gave the Clippers more second-chance opportunities.
At that moment, Curry, who was standing nearby, came over and shouted, "And Su Hao's incredible three-pointer was absolutely amazing!"
Su Hao waved his hand sheepishly.
After finishing the interview, Curry ran up to Su Hao and started making funny faces.
The reporter then asked, "So what are your expectations for the upcoming matches?"
Su Hao's eyes hardened: "We will definitely not be satisfied with this victory. We will go all out in every game. Our goal is of course the championship."
For Suhao, their only goal this season is to defend their championship title.
Everything else is just empty talk.
After the interview, Su Hao noticed that the fans at the scene were still unwilling to leave.
When Su Hao walked into the players' tunnel, the fans on both sides excitedly reached out their hands, wanting to give him a high five.
Su Hao was very generous, giving each of them a high-five as they passed through the player tunnel.
Back in the locker room, the teammates immediately started celebrating.
After all, this is the Christmas battle.
The Christmas atmosphere should still be there.
After a brief celebration, head coach Mike Dunleavy gathered everyone together.
"After this game, we'll be playing the Lakers back-to-back. You guys go back and get ready!"
After saying that, Su Hao and his teammates immediately left the stadium.
Su Hao returned to his car, where Taylor Swift had been waiting for a long time.
