589 Su Hao, the "All-Round Warrior"!
589 Su Hao, the "All-Round Warrior"!
James holds the ball in one hand, preparing to quickly move up the court.
He firmly grasped the basketball with one hand, pushed off with his foot, and immediately started moving.
In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed into the opponent's half of the court.
At that moment, James passed the ball to Bosh in the right corner without hesitation.
Bosh understood perfectly and caught the ball in one smooth motion.
Without even pausing or thinking, he instantly released a three-pointer.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air and flew straight toward the basket.
Defender Rasul Butler jumped with all his might to block the shot, but the ball flew high over his fingertips.
The Heat players all stared intently at the rapidly advancing basketball, their hearts filled with anticipation.
Finally, under the tense gaze of everyone, the basketball swished through the net!
With a crisp "swish," it landed steadily in the basket.
The Heat players on the sidelines got excited again.
It's worth noting that Bosh used to primarily attack the paint, so it's quite surprising that he can now so decisively hit three-pointers from the outside.
Bosh didn't waste James' pass.
He successfully helped the team score a three-pointer.
This undoubtedly gave the Heat a shot in the arm, allowing them to see hope of catching up again.
However, relying solely on excellent offense is clearly far from enough.
The Heat were well aware of this, so they quickly adjusted their tactics and intensified their defense against Su Hao, the opponent's key player.
Especially when Curry passed the ball to Su Hao, Bosh and Haslem immediately rushed towards Su Hao from both sides, trying to form a tight double-team.
Despite knowing that this double-team might not be effective, Bosh and Haslem did not back down and pressed on.
They knew that if they couldn't contain Su Hao's performance, the team would be in a passive position.
However, it is by no means easy to defend against Su Hao!
As soon as Curry dribbled the ball up the court at lightning speed, he passed it precisely to Su Hao, who was already poised to shoot under the basket, without any hesitation.
This time, unexpectedly, Su Hao did not use his strong physique to force his way to the basket as usual.
Because he knew that relying solely on brute force to attack on the basketball court was not a long-term solution, nor was it the only way to score points.
You should know that with the system's support, his mid-range shooting technique is now superb, and his accuracy is astonishingly high. He can be said to be able to hit the target every time.
Therefore, when he keenly sensed that the Heat were quickly employing a double-team strategy, he remained calm and took two steps back.
Immediately afterwards, he raised the basketball high above his head and then decisively shot it, the whole action was smooth and fluid.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air as it flew towards the basket.
Everyone's eyes were glued to the ball, as if time had stood still at that moment.
The Heat players stared wide-eyed, silently praying that the shot wouldn't go in.
Meanwhile, the players on Su Hao's team clenched their fists, full of anticipation.
The ball bounced gently on the edge of the rim, and the court fell silent for a moment before it slid into the net.
"Beep!"
The Heat called another short timeout.
A deafening wave of cheers erupted from the stands, the sound seemingly about to shatter the stadium's dome.
His teammates rushed towards Su Hao, opening their arms wide to embrace him tightly.
"Su Hao, you're absolutely amazing! With you here, there's nothing we can't do! This game is definitely ours!" Curry shouted excitedly, his face flushed.
Meanwhile, Wade, who happened to be passing by, looked worried and depressed, as if he had just suffered a heavy blow.
"Haha, I've always been this powerful, did you only realize it today?" Su Hao teased with a smile, half-jokingly.
"Ahem! Everyone knows you've always been awesome, otherwise how could we have won the championship last season!" Curry was still immersed in excitement, praising Su Hao endlessly.
Afterwards, Su Hao, Curry, and their other teammates returned to the bench in high spirits.
At that moment, the scoreboard clearly showed that the Clippers had a staggering 30-point lead over the Heat. When they returned to the bench, they saw head coach Mike Dunleavy smiling broadly at them.
"Guys, judging from the current situation, we're just one step away from victory. Let's give the other players a chance to get some playing time from now on!" Mike Dunleavy said, pointing to Paul George and the other substitutes sitting at the end of the bench.
"Alright! I'll follow your instructions, Coach!" Su Hao replied with a hearty laugh.
Upon hearing this, Mike Dunleavy exclaimed, "I never said you had to leave the field! If you leave, our victory won't be guaranteed! You'll lead them to continue the rest of the game!"
"Huh? Coach! No way! Even without me, I believe my teammates will play well and won't let the opponent score easily!" Su Hao continued.
Seeing that Su Hao seemed reluctant to play, Curry laughed and said, "Coach, since Su Hao doesn't want to play, then let me play! I can lead everyone to victory too!"
Mike Dunleavy didn't say anything more!
She just stared straight at Su Hao.
Because he knew in his heart that if Su Hao wasn't on the field...
They are then very likely to find themselves in a passive position.
Curry alone is simply not enough.
Not only is rebounding unreliable, but the success rate of three-point shooting will also be low.
Seeing that the head coach was a little unhappy, Su Hao smiled and said, "Then I'll go on the field and lead everyone to victory in this Christmas battle!"
For the Heat, the score was far too low.
The head coach immediately considered giving up on the game.
"We have no hope of winning this match. Do you have any other opinions?" Spoelstra said helplessly.
"Coach, we still have a chance! It's only the first half of the third quarter, and I believe we'll tie the score before the end of the fourth quarter!" Wade said confidently.
However, Wade himself didn't really believe what he said.
Because he also knew that he wanted to use a little over a quarter and a half to turn the tide and score 30 points against the Clippers.
They ultimately won the match.
That was a task that was almost impossible to complete.
