Chapter 196: Scoring 50 points, but with a surprising effect?!
Chapter 196: Scoring 50 points, but with a surprising effect?!
"Crab meat?!"
Curry looked bewildered. "They called a timeout after less than 30 seconds, and the first time they came back, they fouled Su on the first possession."
What is Mr. Popovich doing?
What's the real purpose of this?
I don't understand it at all.
"Slaying a shark?!"
David Lee speculated, "But I'm not sure. In such a deep position, even if Hislip doesn't foul, he can only watch as Sue scores."
"I'm a little confused."
Gordon also frowned.
Su Hao didn't quite understand either, even with the "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy, which only lasted for a little over 3 minutes in the last quarter.
It's a bit early.
Everyone was still a little confused.
"tread!"
Su Hao stepped up to the free throw line.
"Shh!"
The first free throw was made.
"Shh!"
The second free throw went in.
With both free throws made, the Spurs' foul was essentially a free kill.
The director cut the camera to Mr. Bobo, who was sitting in a chair with a calm and composed expression.
I can't figure out what he's up to.
Transition of possession.
Duncan received the ball on the left low post, facing David Lee, preparing to attack himself, but Su Hao switched onto him and decisively passed the ball to Parker.
Breakthrough and pass.
Then Ginobili cut to the basket, swerved like a snake, twisted his body like a pretzel, and scored a layup despite being double-teamed by Rasoul and Gordon.
crucial moment.
"Demon Blade" is trustworthy.
Switch to offense.
What should the Spurs do?!
Did he also foul Su Hao?
That's right.
Hislip really did foul Su Hao again. It seems that his purpose in coming on the court at this point is just to foul Su Hao.
"Again?"
Su Hao narrowed his eyes, and he was basically certain that Popovich was planning to use the "sharp-on-the-shark" tactic on him.
Test his free throws and reduce the Clippers' second-chance opportunities.
"Humph~"
Coach Dunleavy looked disdainful. "Su Hao's free throws are better than O'Neal's. He just made both of his free throws. Using the 'Hack-a-Shaq' strategy on him is not a wise choice."
Or.
You've run out of tricks, you're at your wits' end, so you're starting to... give up entirely!
"tread!"
Su Hao stepped back to the free-throw line.
"Shh!"
The first free throw was made.
A second penalty?
"Bang!"
Missed.
One made out of two free throws is not bad.
With this successful free throw, the score difference is now 10 points, and Su Hao has scored 46 points tonight, putting him on track to reach 50 points!
Spurs attack.
He kept passing the ball around, avoiding Su Hao, and patiently attacked. Finally... Ginobili hit a three-pointer from the left corner.
"Shh!"
Arrow through the heart.
The more critical the moment, the more we can trust "Demon Blade".
The Demon Blade of Desperation Slays All Demons!
This is not just empty talk.
The score difference is 7 points.
The Clippers remained calm.
Hislip continued to foul Suhao, sending him to the free-throw line.
This time?!
"Bang!"
"Shh!"
It was still one of two free throws.
Su Hao's free throw shooting is better than O'Neal's, but he doesn't always hit the target every time, achieving a success rate of over 90%.
A 8-point difference.
The Spurs' attack also failed to succeed.
Continue "slaying sharks".
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Su Hao made both free throws this time, bringing the point difference back to 10 points.
"Ha ha!"
Curry chuckled, "It's useless. You can't guarantee you'll make every shot. Su Hao's free throws aren't terrible either."
Forcing a "shark-cutting" operation so early is tantamount to playing with fire and getting burned.
"Will this work?"
The Spurs assistant coach also had some concerns.
But Coach Popovich remained calm, saying, "Since it's 'Hack-a-Shaq,' and since it's a bet on free throws, we can't judge the effect based on one or two possessions."
Try for a few more minutes.
"Use every last bullet, and if that doesn't work, give up."
On the field.
The Spurs played steadily and scored first, extending their lead to 8 points.
Su Hao continued to be attacked.
He stepped up to the free-throw line once again.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
He missed both free throws.
The Spurs had a chance, Ginobili wanted a three-pointer, wanting to seal the victory, Gordon chased after him like a madman, and Rasoul also rushed over.
Double block.
"Wow!"
Ginobili jumped, slammed the ball through the air, found Richard Jefferson in the right corner, and raised his hand to sink a three-pointer.
"Shh!"
It pierced through the net bag.
The point difference... suddenly jumped to 5 points.
Was the tactic effective?
The Spurs intended to continue fouling Su Hao and send him to the free-throw line, but before they could foul him, Su Hao spotted a wide-open shot from Curry in the corner.
I decisively transferred them to them.
Curry's wide-open three-pointer is the flame of victory?
"Bang!"
Missed.
There were no three-pointers like those in practice.
"Stephen's heart is fragile. After all, he's a rookie. When things get really tense, his performance will decline."
The Spurs assistant coach laughed.
Grandpa Bobo, whose expression had been tense, finally smiled slightly. "A little heart is only one aspect."
More importantly, yes.
The continued "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy has forced the Clippers, except for Su Hao, to stop shooting and attacking. Over time, their shooting touch will inevitably decline.
Su Hao also gradually missed two free throws, losing more free throws than he could.
coming.
The "shark-cutting" effect is here, and we're about to launch a counterattack!!!
The Spurs' counterattack.
By avoiding Su Hao, and with the score closing in, the Spurs, whose form was getting better and better, were also making their offense more and more fluid and their rhythm completely set.
Parker's floater.
"Shh!"
Hit again.
The score difference is 3 points.
On the offensive transition, Su Hao didn't touch the ball this time, but used his presence to his advantage, allowing Rasul to hit a mid-range jumper from the outside.
But the Spurs' offense also went in.
Another round, and neither side managed to land a hit.
The point difference remains at 3 points.
The situation seemed to be deadlocked, and the Spurs appeared to have stopped using the "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy against Su Hao after the point difference narrowed.
result.
In the next round, Su Hao's "shark-cutting tactics" continued.
This time: one of two free throws made.
Switch to offense.
Manu Ginobili of the Spurs made a "snake-like" layup, shaking off David Lee, but it was blocked by Su Hao.
Failed.
Spurs... Hislip continued to employ the "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy against Su Hao, while also fouling out himself, burning through all his energy.
Mr. Bobo gave him a thumbs up after he left the field.
This is an affirmative gesture.
Hislip was very happy.
"tread!"
Su Hao stepped up to the free throw line once again.
This time, he made one of two free throws again.
"I have a headache."
The continuous free throws and the narrowing point difference put some pressure on Su Hao.
His pressure stemmed from the fact that he could only score through free throws, which was not his preferred way to score, and the more he took free throws, the worse his performance became.
"COMEON!"
With this successful free throw, Su Hao has now scored 50 points tonight, becoming the second rookie this year to score 50 points in a season.
Scoring isn't the most important factor for Su Hao.
His main focus is protecting the rim and playing defense.
But tonight he scored a whopping 50 points, partly due to his good form, and partly due to the effectiveness of Coach Popovich's "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy.
It seems this "sharp-slice tactic" isn't working, and has even become a legitimate way for "Hulk" Su Hao to rack up points?!
