485 seconds of attack time!
485 seconds of attack time!
Su Hao, after receiving the ball, did not expect Curry to pass it to him.
After all, Curry wanted to achieve his goals quickly.
I want to achieve my goal of making ten three-pointers in this game.
He has only made three three-pointers so far, and there is still a long way to go before he reaches ten.
As soon as Su Hao received the ball under the basket, Boozer and Noah immediately surrounded him.
Su Hao stood in front of the two men, holding the ball in one hand and jumping vertically.
Noah and Boozer then got up to try and interfere.
However, all of this was in vain. Only after Su Hao completed his jump did the two of them finally take theirs.
After jumping, Su Hao completed a powerful dunk over the two players' heads.
"Su Hao, can't you be a little gentler? You're driving us both to the brink of depression!" Buzer muttered dejectedly.
"I don't have depression! Don't drag me into this, I'm perfectly fine!" Noah muttered angrily.
Su Hao smiled slightly and ignored the two of them.
After Su Hao completed this attack, he actually gave the Bulls a second of offensive time.
Everyone originally thought the first quarter was over.
Everyone wanted to leave the court to rest and prepare for the second quarter.
At that moment, the referee blew his whistle, signaling the Bulls to quickly organize an attack.
The Bulls players, unaware of what had happened, were still caught up in the loss of that last basket.
They were completely unaware of this situation on the field.
"Come back now! You have one last second to attack!" David Lee yelled at the Bulls players.
At that moment, Thibodeau on the sidelines also noticed that the timer had reset by one second.
Call a pause immediately.
He took out the tactics board and immediately laid out the tactics for the last second.
The Bulls' players and head coach were clearly focused on the final second of the shot clock.
Commentator Barkley couldn't help but joke, "It's the last second! What kind of play are you even setting up? Just catch and shoot! You're lucky you can even get a shot off, how can you possibly execute any brilliant plays?"
As Barkley said, with only one second of offensive time, there is absolutely no chance to adjust.
The moment the player on the sideline inbounds the ball, the receiver must shoot the ball toward the basket the moment they touch it.
Even a half-second hesitation could result in an invalid attack that exceeds the time limit.
"They're really discussing tactics! The Bulls are so desperate to win!" Yang Yi murmured, watching the live stream screen.
"Don't underestimate this regular season game. Every team facing the Clippers wants to beat them right now, not only because they're the defending champions, but also because they're currently the only undefeated team in the league. Ending their winning streak would be something to brag about!" Su Qun said.
"Ending the Clippers' winning streak won't be easy! The Mavericks and Heat lost badly before them, and those two teams are no weaker than the Bulls! It's just that the Bulls' outside shooting was pretty good today, otherwise they would have collapsed long ago!" Coach Zhang said, looking at the big screen.
After a brief pause, the match resumed.
Even with only one second left on the shot clock, the Clippers still opted to put Su Hao on the court.
They simply replaced Curry with Paul George.
This is to increase the defensive capabilities on the perimeter.
Bogans inbounded the ball from the outside, and under the Clippers' tight defense, the Bulls players, including Rose, couldn't find a suitable opportunity to receive it.
It almost resulted in a service error.
Thibodeau reacted quickly and called another timeout.
"Are you kidding me?! They're calling a timeout with only one second left! They could have just tossed the ball around!"
"Are the Bulls sore losers?! The game is already this far and they're still calling a timeout! Are they trying to stretch a quarter that's only a dozen points into a forty-odd-minute stretch?!"
"This is outrageous! They called two timeouts in the last second! This was their last timeout of the quarter, and if they had any more timeouts left, they would have called them again!"
The fans on the sidelines started to get unhappy.
They also don't really want to see a game where they keep calling timeouts.
"The Bulls are really something else! They're calling a timeout even with the game like this! Do they really think they can score a goal in that one second?" David Lee looked at the Bulls' bench in disbelief.
"You really shouldn't disbelieve me, what if they actually score? It's not like it's never happened before! Teams have scored in fractions of a second before!" Curry said with a laugh.
"The chances of what you're saying are still too low. They even seemed to have trouble serving just now. Do you really think they could score if they called another timeout?" Gordon looked incredulous.
Su Hao, standing to the side, appeared quite calm.
He wasn't worried about whether the Bulls could actually make a shot in the final second.
Even if they do manage to score, the Clippers won't panic at all.
They are currently leading their opponents by two points.
Such a difference in score cannot be changed by one or two goals.
The timeout ended again, and both teams returned to the field.
Luol Deng received the ball on the sideline, watched his teammates running back and forth on the court, and seized the opportunity to pass the ball to the inside.
The ball came into Noah's hands.
Boozer tried to block Su Hao with his body, allowing Noah to complete the attack.
However, due to time constraints.
Noah had no time to hesitate after receiving the ball.
He immediately flicked the ball towards the basket.
The match ended immediately.
The basketball went into the basket.
Su Hao never really intended to defend the basket during this play.
Just as Noah and his teammates were preparing to celebrate this buzzer-beating shot.
But the referee on the baseline blew his whistle at that moment.
This indicates that the goal was disallowed.
This was a goal scored before the time limit was reached.
Noah and the other Bulls players were immediately unhappy.
He went up and kept arguing with the referee.
Thibodeau, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but come onto the field and complain to the referee.
"Stop complaining! Just watch the replay and you'll see. We've got him in, we'll accept it!" Su Hao shouted into the crowd.
"Yes, watch the replay!" Boozer yelled at the referee.
Reluctantly, the three referees, after discussing the matter, decided to go to the technical table to review the video replay.
The Bulls really went through a lot of trouble with that last second of their shot clock; it would have been great if it had gone in.
If it really is counted as an invalid goal, they'll be furious!
