459 Please give me possession of the ball!
The result was something he never expected.
Su Hao, who was originally behind him, suddenly stretched out a giant hand above his head.
They intercepted the ball mid-air.
This scene shocked everyone present.
Su Hao is really going too far! He actually jumped up from behind the opponent and forcibly stole the ball.
After landing, Su Hao passed the ball to Curry on the outside with one hand.
Upon receiving the pass, Curry immediately sprinted to the frontcourt.
This time he wanted to try shooting a three-pointer.
After waiting a few seconds, Su Hao had already positioned himself under the opponent's basket.
Curry launched a three-pointer over Augustin, who was guarding him.
When Curry made that three-pointer, he felt that the flight path was a bit off.
The basketball ultimately hit the backboard but failed to go into the basket.
Fortunately, Curry was smart enough to wait until Su Hao had established his position in the paint before taking the three-pointer.
After Curry missed his shot, unsurprisingly, Su Hao successfully grabbed the rebound.
Su Hao jumped and easily grabbed the rebound.
After landing, he passed the ball to Curry again, and although he had a chance to dunk, he gave it up again.
Choosing to pass the ball to Curry is a way to get him to keep shooting three-pointers.
After receiving the ball, Curry jumped and shot without hesitation. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and went in cleanly!
The audience cheered, and the atmosphere of the competition became even more intense.
The Bobcats' head coach decisively called the first timeout of the game.
It seems he really wants to go toe-to-toe with the Clippers and doesn't want to give up the game.
Even if they are being pressured by the opponent from the very beginning of the game.
The inside game was completely dominated by Su Hao alone.
Even so, he still wanted to call a timeout to give his team some tactical instructions.
They wanted to catch up in the score by using these tactical combinations that they often used.
After the Bobcats players left the field, the head coach already had the tactical board ready in his hand.
They gathered the players together and kept demonstrating various tactical combinations on the tactics board.
They were trying to use these tactics to get more points for the team.
"Coach, these standard tactics are completely ineffective against the Clippers! They simply can't penetrate the paint; Su Hao's defense is exceptionally strong!" Maggette whispered.
"Yeah! Su Hao just grabbed our defensive rebound over my head! He's really amazing. I'm not even in the same league as him!" Diop complained.
Seeing the players starting to complain, as the Bobcats' head coach, I had no choice but to give them a lesson in mindset.
"The team didn't sign you guys to be benchwarmers. When it's your turn to shine, you need to perform well and stop complaining! Can't you just play properly?!" the Bobcats' head coach shouted.
"Yes!" the Bobcats players responded in unison.
As professional players, they also very much hope that their team can win the game.
Especially when facing the defending champions, this is a great opportunity for them to make a name for themselves.
If he performs well and is noticed by other teams, he might be able to get a very good contract.
If he gets picked up by a championship contender, he might even be able to snag a championship ring.
The Clippers players returned to the bench with very calm expressions on their faces.
At the start of the game, although the Bobcats made a three-pointer, it did not affect the Clippers' offensive rhythm.
Thanks to Su Hao's consecutive shots and passes, they had already taken a five-point lead over their opponents at the start of the game.
In just two minutes, the Clippers had already taken a five-point lead over their opponents.
Alexander of the Bobcats, playing at home.
Watching the Bobcats call a long timeout, Barkley couldn't help but joke, "What are the Bobcats trying to do? They actually called a timeout right at the start of the game! Am I seeing things? Are they trying to put up a fight?"
"A little resistance isn't out of the question. I see all the teams in the league, when they face the Clippers, they're like they've been injected with adrenaline, all wanting to fight and hoping to beat them. It's really something!" Miller laughed.
As the defending champions, the Clippers are under tremendous pressure this season.
They dared not relax in the slightest, for fear of losing the championship at the end of the season.
Su Hao still hopes to win more championship trophies in his limited professional career.
"Su Hao, how much do you want to score in this match?" David Lee asked Su Hao with a smile.
Su Hao glanced at all his teammates and laughed, "I don't even know how to answer that question. If you want me to score more points, then you should give me more possession of the ball! Let me finish the offense!"
Su Hao's words were confident and earnest, leaving his teammates at a loss for what to do.
Just as his teammates were silent, Mike Dunleavy walked up.
"Just listen to Su Hao, pass the ball to him and let him score all by himself, so you can clock out early!" Mike Dunleavy said with a smile.
As a head coach, Mike Dunleavy had a much easier time than other team head coaches.
During timeouts, he rarely gave the players any tactical instructions.
The message was more of a reminder to the players to pass the ball to Su Hao more often.
Letting him handle the ball is what he considers the best tactic to implement.
The pause ends.
The game continues.
Carroll inbounds the ball to Walker from the outside.
As a rookie player who just joined the team this year, Walker is eager to showcase his individual abilities.
After receiving the ball, Walker did not choose to pass it again, but instead chose to drive to the basket himself.
He quickly changed direction, bypassing Gordon who was guarding him, and drove straight to the basket.
However, Su Hao had been waiting under the basket for a long time, and jumped high to deliver a big block to Walker.
The basketball went out of bounds, but possession remained with the Bobcats.
Carroll serves from the sideline.
This time, he passed the ball to Walker without hesitation.
After receiving the ball, Walker, facing Rasul Butler's tight defense, faked out his opponent, jumped, and shot. The ball swished through the net. His teammates on the sidelines cheered.
Even after being blocked by Su Hao, Walker was still able to continue to finish the offense himself.
It seems this kind of drive has a lot of Kobe Bryant's influence.
However, the Bobcats players didn't have much time to celebrate.
The Clippers quickly inbounded the ball from the baseline, and Curry dribbled it all the way to the frontcourt.
Before he could even steady himself, he had already passed the ball inside and handed it to Su Hao.
Seeing Su Hao with the ball under the basket, the entire Bobcats team felt a sense of foreboding.
Diop stretched out his long arms, trying to interfere with Su Hao's attack.
