Chapter 530: Less than 1 chapter, and they're leading by 20 points!
Clippers offensive possession.
Curry dribbled past Brewer, the defender in front of him, with a crossover dribble.
Then he made a short floater under the basket.
Due to interference from Delon, who came to reinforce the defense.
Curry's shooting angle was clearly a bit off.
The basketball hit the edge of the rim.
At the last second, Su Hao forcefully dunked the ball into the basket from the crowd.
This one-handed putback dunk startled O'Connor, who was just about to jump under the basket.
"Curry, that was a great assist!" Su Hao teased Curry after landing from his dunk.
"I wasn't trying to give you a legend, I was trying to shoot myself, but I missed. I ended up doing you a favor!" Curry said, rolling his eyes at Su Hao.
If these two brothers have a special relationship, they'll definitely have to have a competition to see who's better.
The Jazz did not stop their offensive offensive.
Deron Williams received a pass from his teammate and moved up the court, where he faced Gordon's defense.
After a series of dribbling changes of direction, he successfully broke free from the defender.
He exploited the mismatch to isolate Curry.
As the weakest link in the team's defense, Curry also had his own difficulties.
After dribbling with one hand for one step, Deron Williams took a mid-range shot.
The basketball flew over Curry's head and headed towards the basket.
"Bang!"
The basketball hit the top of the backboard.
Su Hao successfully secured the rebound.
Dribble with one hand and advance quickly.
Seeing Su Hao advance with the ball, Millsap could only move forward to interfere.
However, in their confrontation, Su Hao showed absolutely no mercy.
He pushed all the way to the free-throw line and stopped.
He took his position and launched a mid-range shot.
The basketball flew over Millsap's head, tracing a perfect arc in the air, and headed straight for the basket.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the basketball finally landed steadily in the basket.
"Why do you always take mid-range shots? Can't you just shoot towards the basket?" Millsap muttered under his breath.
He clearly wanted Su Hao to drive to the basket so that O'Connor could help him defend.
He just didn't realize that even with the two of them defending together...
It's also impossible to completely stop Su Hao's attack.
How could Su Hao, a "prehistoric crocodile," possibly have his advance halted by these shrimp soldiers and crab generals?
After scoring, Su Hao symbolically held up two fingers to indicate that he had scored two more goals.
"Su Hao's mid-range shooting is really impressive! His accuracy is just too high! He's only missed one shot so far!" Yang Yi couldn't sit still as Su Hao scored another basket.
"You only missed one shot! Now you're 9 for 10! You've already scored 18 points from mid-range shots alone! That's a pretty good shooting percentage!" Su Qun said, looking at the statistics.
"You know what, Su Hao's mid-range shooting form is really good, it's a bit like Kobe's! It's just that his shooting percentage seems to be a little bit higher than Kobe's!" Coach Zhang's words were hard to tell whether he was dissing Kobe or praising Su Hao.
Watching Su Hao repeatedly make mid-range shots, Jazz head coach Sloan looked frustrated.
I thought to myself, "I wish my team could have a player like Su Hao."
That way, I can win games without lifting a finger, just like Mike Dunleavy.
There's no need to even devise basic team tactics; all you need to do is sit back and wait for the game result.
Millsap passes the ball to Deron Williams from the baseline.
After dribbling the ball up the court, the latter hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc right over Gordon.
"Shh!"
The ball goes in.
After scoring, Deron Williams didn't forget to raise three fingers to the sky, indicating that he had made a three-pointer.
The Jazz fans at home were filled with the sound of their long-lost screams.
As the game progressed, the first quarter had reached its final minute.
Led by Su Hao, the Clippers have taken an 18-point lead over the Jazz.
They almost defeated their opponent in less than a quarter.
David Lee passed the ball to Curry, who was receiving it.
After bringing the ball to the frontcourt, the latter decisively passed it to Su Hao.
Su Hao held the ball high above his head with one hand.
The defender in front of him, O'Connell, couldn't even touch the basketball.
A high-reaching shot, followed by a short, easy throw.
The ball goes in.
Easy peasy, simple, another two points.
This directly widened the score gap to 20 points.
Sloan decisively called another timeout.
"Is the Jazz about to surrender? Can't they even last one quarter?" Is Barkley mocking the Jazz's strength?
"It doesn't look like surrender to me. According to Coach Sloan's coaching philosophy, there's no such thing as surrender! It's more like setting up tactics or making substitutions!" Miller said with a smile.
As soon as the Jazz players returned to the bench, they began complaining to the head coach.
"Coach, Su Hao isn't playing by the rules. He just stays on the outside shooting and doesn't give me a chance to defend him at all!" O'Connor is really too confident. He actually wants Su Hao to go to the basket to fight against him.
Isn't this just courting death?
"Don't be so smug. If Su Hao hadn't been shooting from the outside, he would have crushed you inside!" Millsap was clearly seething with anger.
When Su Hao shoots from the outside, the task of defending Su Hao falls to him.
He had absolutely no way to stop Su Hao's mid-range attack.
Even if Su Hao just stood there and held the ball above his head, he couldn't touch the basketball in Su Hao's hands.
Upon hearing Millsap's words, O'Connor quickly lowered his head.
Because he himself was well aware of his own strength, even the interior defenses of strong teams like the Spurs and Celtics were ruthlessly destroyed by Su Hao.
Besides, he was just a third-rate center, how could he possibly contain Su Hao!
He was just making empty promises to distance himself from the matter, claiming that Su Hao's goal had nothing to do with him.
"Stop talking! We're down by 20 points now. If we don't want to lose by more, everyone needs to give it your all! We're all human, how come others are so much better!" Sloan roared, trying to rouse the players' fighting spirit with his loud voice.
Because he saw that his players had lost their spirit and morale after being beaten by Su Hao.
The confidence they had before the game was gone.
Even his beloved protégé, Deron Williams, became hesitant when taking shots on the court.
This was clearly influenced by Su Hao.
Coach Sloan then pulled out his tactical board and began to lay out new tactical arrangements.
With a 20-point lead, the Clippers players all looked relaxed after leaving the court.
"Looks like we'll win this game easily again! We can go home and rest early!" David Lee said excitedly.
