534. Leaving early!
At halftime, both teams' players returned to the locker room.
The Jazz's beautiful cheerleaders came on stage to begin their performance.
With the score difference between the two teams being so large, the fans who came to support the Jazz have begun to leave the stadium.
Su Hao, who had just returned to the locker room, decisively began packing his luggage.
"Su Hao, what are you preparing to do? The game is only halfway through!" Curry asked, puzzled.
Su Hao glanced back at Curry and said calmly, "The victory in this game is already a foregone conclusion. I have some things to take care of, so I'll head back first."
The teammates standing to the side were completely bewildered.
"No way! After the competition, we're going to go have some fun together! Aren't you coming?" Gordon said with a smile to Su Hao.
Su Hao just smiled and didn't say anything, because he had already discussed this matter with the coach.
As for why I left early, that's purely a matter of personal privacy.
I just didn't want my teammates to know.
Actually, when Su Hao returned to the locker room and turned on his phone, he saw a missed call and a text message from Taylor Swift.
It turns out that Taylor Swift is having a solo concert in Utah tonight.
However, Su Hao was playing the first quarter of the game against the Jazz at that time.
The second quarter has now ended.
Just now, when Su Hao entered the dressing room, he confirmed that Taylor Swift's performance was only halfway through.
If I insist on finishing this match, I will definitely miss it.
However, as a professional player, Su Hao did not want to miss the game casually.
After communicating with the coaching staff, I received a fairly positive response.
That means they agreed to Su Hao's early departure.
Just make sure he can keep communication going.
"I won't be going to the fun stuff. You guys have fun, I'm leaving now!"
After saying that, Su Hao had already started walking out with his luggage.
Watching Su Hao's departing figure, his teammates were all completely bewildered.
"Curry, Su Hao is gone. Will our 30-point lead be caught up?" David Lee's first concern was whether the score would be overtaken by the opponent.
Curry turned around abruptly and muttered, "How is that possible! That's a huge difference of over 30 points! If they manage to catch up, the other teams will laugh their heads off!"
That's absolutely true. If the Jazz really manage to erase that 30-point deficit, the Clippers will be torn to shreds by their fans.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Without Su Hao here, I hope everyone will be fully focused and try to maintain the score. Even if we can't extend our lead, we can't let the opponent catch up!" Mike Dunleavy looked at all the players present with a serious expression.
"Coach, don't worry! With me here, they won't have a chance to catch up!" Curry responded confidently.
"Yeah, Coach, don't worry. With Curry on our side, how could the opponent possibly catch up?" Gordon chimed in.
After a short break, the two sides began the second half of the match.
The Jazz substituted in all their reserve players at the start of the game.
The Clippers also fielded a lineup entirely composed of substitutes.
When the Jazz players realized that Su Hao was not on the Clippers' bench.
It immediately became lively.
"Where's Su Hao on the Clippers' bench?" Jazz player Brewer exclaimed from the bench.
Upon hearing this, the other players on the Jazz bench also turned their attention to the Clippers' bench.
"It's true! It seems we're too far behind, and the Clippers are already planning to clock out early!" Millsap said helplessly.
The match between the two sides continued, but Su Hao had already arrived at Taylor Swift's performance venue.
The concert venue was already packed with people.
Led by staff, Su Hao arrived at the position closest to the stage.
Taylor Swift was performing "Love Story" at that moment.
As she was singing the last part, Taylor Swift glanced casually at the audience.
That one glance was all it took to spot Su Hao, who was only a few steps away.
The two then stared at each other for a few seconds.
The live broadcast then switched to Su Hao.
Wow! Isn't that Su Hao?!
"Shouldn't this guy be playing a game? How come he's at Taylor Swift's concert?"
"I just saw Su Hao playing against the Jazz, how come he's suddenly here?"
The audience members were also very surprised when they saw Su Hao.
Even though Taylor Swift and Su Hao have officially announced their relationship.
To their surprise, Su Hao actually left early during the match to watch his girlfriend's concert.
The paparazzi reporters were surprised to see Su Hao, who rarely makes public appearances.
He desperately wanted to go up and interview Su Hao.
However, the sharp-eyed Su Hao noticed the commotion in the crowd and immediately slipped into the backstage rest area.
I continued watching Taylor Swift's performance backstage via live stream.
As time goes by.
The Clippers vs. Jazz game has ended.
In the end, the Clippers defeated the Jazz by a large margin without any suspense.
Taylor Swift's concert also came to a perfect end.
Backstage, Taylor Swift immediately gave Su Hao a big hug.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you in the text message that you should focus on your game? How could you leave during the game?" Taylor Swift looked at Su Hao with a shy expression.
"I just wanted to surprise you, didn't I? We haven't seen each other in a long time, and our competition venue isn't far from here! It's just a convenient arrangement!" Su Hao explained forcefully.
"Hmph! So you just happened to be passing by here!" Taylor Swift said, slightly annoyed.
"Just kidding! I took time off work specifically to come see you!" Su Hao said, pulling out a gift he had prepared in advance from his pocket.
Looking at the exquisite gift box that Su Hao was holding.
Taylor Swift excitedly accepted it.
Just as he was about to open it, Su Hao stopped him.
"Don't open it yet! So many people are watching!" Su Hao said with a smile.
“That’s right, I’ll open it when I get back!” Taylor Swift said, putting it into her handbag.
"Are you going to meet up with your teammates later?" Taylor Swift asked.
Without hesitation, Su Hao replied, "No need for that. Is there something you need?"
“No, I just meant that if you’re not going to meet up with your teammates, then we’ll go together!” Taylor Swift continued.
"Yeah! Together!"
"I'll go tidy up, and we'll grab a late-night snack together later!"
While waiting for Taylor Swift, Su Hao received a call from Curry.
"Dudu!"
"Hey, Su Hao! Did you run off to see Taylor Swift's concert? We all know!" Before Su Hao could even speak, Curry's questioning voice came from the other end of the phone.
