353 victory over the Celtics
Garnett's face grew increasingly grim, as if it could drip water.
On the sidelines, Rivers could no longer tolerate Garnett's performance in this game and decisively called a timeout.
The game has been paused again.
The Celtics were now down by more than twenty points with only seven minutes left in the game.
Catching up the score has become an almost impossible task.
"We have no hope of winning this game. We'll bring in substitutes later and let them finish the rest of the game!" Rivers said to the players in a low voice.
The starting players, including Rondo, who had just been substituted, were unwilling but did not raise any objections.
They knew in their hearts that they had already lost the game.
The Clippers are currently leading by more than 20 points, and although there is still a theoretical possibility of a comeback, it is only theoretical.
After all, they were facing the defending champion Clippers, who had the league's best center, and turning the tide was simply a pipe dream.
The Clippers also knew that the Celtics would no longer field their starting lineup during this timeout.
The decision was made immediately to replace key players like Su Hao, allowing the substitutes to continue playing the remainder of the game.
After the Celtics' reserves came on, they did not give up and continued to give their all in an attempt to narrow the gap.
However, the gap in strength made it difficult for them to withstand the Clippers' offense.
The pace of the game gradually quickened, with substitutes from both sides exchanging attacks, creating a tense and exciting atmosphere on the field.
In the final minutes, the Celtics' young players showed tenacity, constantly attacking the basket and striving for every scoring opportunity.
Although they ultimately couldn't change the outcome of the match, their fighting spirit earned them applause from the audience.
As the final buzzer sounded, the game ended, and the Clippers won by a large margin.
The Celtics players walked off the court silently, their hearts filled with disappointment and resentment.
This match was a heavy blow for them.
However, they did not give up, but chose to silently endure the failure and prepare for the next challenge.
The Clippers players were excitedly preparing to leave the arena.
They cheered and jumped for joy, celebrating their victory.
This was a hard-won victory, and a reward for their hard work.
Everyone wore joyful smiles; they knew this victory was of great significance to the team.
As the MVP of the game, Su Hao walked to the center of the court to accept the post-game interview from reporters.
His performance was undoubtedly the most dazzling on the field, and his outstanding play helped the team achieve victory.
"Su! Hello, we meet again!" the beautiful reporter said to Su Hao with a smile. Her eyes revealed a hint of admiration and curiosity.
"Hi! We meet again! It's great!" Su Hao replied with a smile. His voice was confident and composed.
"You were unstoppable on the court tonight! You single-handedly overwhelmed the opponent's interior defense! How did you do that, as a second-year player?" the female reporter continued to press.
Her questions were direct and sharp, clearly showing her great interest in Su Hao's performance.
"Actually, there aren't any special techniques," Su Hao smiled modestly. "It's mainly because of good teamwork and my teammates' support. I just did my best and gave it my all on the court."
The female reporter nodded and then asked, "Are you confident you can lead the team to victory again in the next match?"
Su Hao said with a firm gaze, "Of course, we will be fully prepared. Every opponent deserves respect, but we will not be afraid and will do our best to win."
After the interview, Su Hao walked towards the team's locker room.
His teammates congratulated him, and he smiled and gave them high-fives in response.
In the locker room, the coach addressed the entire team: "Today's victory belongs to everyone, but the real test will come in the upcoming matches. We must remain united and continue to work hard!"
The Clippers will face the Heat tomorrow night in their first back-to-back game of the season.
Time flew by, and it was already evening of the second day. Since it was the Heat's home game, the Clippers had immediately flown to Miami by private jet after their game against the Celtics the previous night.
The Heat this season are undeniably strong.
After last season's disappointing performance, LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers announced his move to the Miami Heat via televised announcement during this offseason.
This infuriated Cavaliers fans.
Even the Cavaliers' owner said his behavior was unforgivable.
Before James LeBron joined the Heat, Raptors star Chris Bosh also joined the Heat.
This immediately propelled the Heat into the title contenders.
The Heat now not only have the Big Three of James LeBron, Bosh, and Dwyane Wade, but have also attracted many veterans to join them.
"Welcome to Miami!" the commentator shouted with great enthusiasm, creating an extraordinary atmosphere.
The spectators wore jerseys of their respective teams, waved flags, and cheered loudly.
This match is undoubtedly a highly anticipated one, with both sides eager to secure a victory.
During the player introductions, the stage lights flashed and the music was rousing.
When stars like James LeBron, Bosh, and Wade were introduced one by one, the cheers from the entire arena were deafening.
These superstars are among the league's top players, and their arrival has brought endless possibilities to Miami.
However, the Clippers, who have superstar Su Hao, are not afraid of strong opponents.
Despite facing formidable opponents, they maintained high morale. The players encouraged each other, preparing to meet this intense challenge.
As the referee blows his whistle, the game officially begins.
The atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited, and the cheers from the audience were deafening.
The Clippers' starting lineup: Curry, Gordon, Butler, David Lee, Su Hao.
The Heat's starting lineup: Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Ilgauskas, Chalmers.
Both teams were on high alert, their eyes revealing their desire for victory.
Before the game started, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade took the initiative to shake hands with Su Hao in a friendly manner.
"You're something else! You won the championship in just one season! It forced the three of us to team up. I wonder if that will be enough to beat you guys!" Wade said.
His words carried a hint of a joke, but also revealed his recognition of Su Hao's strength.
"Haha! It was just luck, I just happened to win the championship!" Su Hao said with a smile.
His answer was humble yet confident, revealing his deep-seated conviction.
This game is destined to be a focal point, attracting the attention of basketball fans worldwide.
