654 With Su Hao gone, Walker went on a killing spree!
Unfortunately, perhaps due to strong interference from Augustin, the basketball arced through the air before narrowly missing the rim and ultimately failing to hit the target.
Just then, the Bobcats player grabbed the rebound.
The ball flew straight into Kemba Walker's hands.
After receiving the ball, Kemba Walker dribbled all the way to the top of the arc for the three-point line without hesitation.
At this moment, neither his teammates nor his opponents had fully settled down, but with his outstanding personal ability and decisive judgment, he resolutely chose to shoot his second three-pointer of the game.
The basketball spun rapidly through the air, flying straight toward the basket.
With a crisp "swish," the basketball swished through the net!
The audience erupted in thunderous cheers and applause.
Kemba Walker, who had hit two consecutive three-pointers, seemed a little overconfident.
With a smile on his face, he made an exaggerated three-point gesture towards Su Hao, who was sitting on the bench, half-lying down and resting with his eyes half-closed, as if he were provoking and demonstrating against him.
Su Hao simply smiled and didn't seem to care.
Seeing that Su Hao hadn't noticed him, Kemba Walker realized he was being frivolous and turned to join the defense.
With a flick of his wrist, David Lee delivered the basketball precisely to Curry.
After receiving the ball, Curry quickly dribbled up the court.
However, Carroll's close marking awaited him.
Curry inwardly cursed, knowing full well that his shooting touch was off today and that a forced shot would likely miss.
So he came up with a plan and decided to use drawing fouls to gain valuable points.
In the blink of an eye, as Carroll leaped high to try and block Curry's shot, Curry cleverly leaned his body forward.
At the same time, the basketball in his hand flew high into the sky.
With a whistle, the referee promptly blew his whistle and made the call without hesitation—Carroll was called for a shooting foul!
Curry's plan worked, eliciting gasps and cheers from the audience.
It's worth noting that as a shooter, Curry is highly skilled at drawing fouls.
Next, Curry stood calmly at the free-throw line and took a deep breath.
Then, with a gentle toss, the basketball in his hand drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed accurately in the basket.
As Curry made both free throws, the Tencent studio erupted in excitement.
Coach Zhang stood up excitedly, praising with a big smile: "This shot really belongs to Curry! Look how smart he is. When the team was struggling to score, he was able to break the deadlock with his superb foul-drawing skills and free throws, helping the team stabilize the situation!"
Yang Yi, standing nearby, nodded in agreement: "Yes, if Su Hao isn't on the court right now, then most of the Clippers' ball possession will be in Curry's hands. If he can't effectively solve the scoring problem, then the Clippers will probably have to consider bringing Su Hao back in."
The Clippers were practically having a blast on the court at that moment!
They have a commanding lead over their opponents, and with such a huge advantage, it's perfectly fine for them to relax a little from time to time!
After all, our key player Su Hao is sitting comfortably on the sidelines!
With Su Hao in charge, victory in this match is almost a foregone conclusion!
Meanwhile, the Bobcats remained steadfast in handing the offensive reins to Kemba Walker.
After Curry successfully made his second free throw, the Bobcats quickly inbounded the ball from the baseline.
Kemba Walker caught the ball and faced Gordon's tight defense.
However, this did not affect his pace at all.
Just outside the three-point line, Kemba Walker continuously made various fake moves.
These feints were so realistic that Gordon was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of the moment Gordon fell to the ground, Kemba Walker didn't hesitate to shoot again and made a beautiful three-pointer.
Unfortunately, the ball bounced off the rim.
Fortunately, Diopter managed to grab the rebound under the basket.
Diopter reacted quickly, turning around and throwing the ball back at Kemba Walker.
Gordon, who had just gotten up from the ground, was anxious to rush forward to help defend, but he was too late.
In a flash, Kemba Walker seized the fleeting opportunity and decisively launched another three-pointer from the spot. This time, the basketball swished cleanly into the basket, and cheers and applause erupted from the crowd.
"Are you even capable? If you're not, get off the court and let someone else come in!" Curry roared at Gordon, his face contorted with rage. Gordon was clearly taken aback by Curry's intense reaction.
Faced with Curry's reprimand, he obediently ran over to pick up the basketball from the ground, preparing to inbound the ball from the baseline.
Gordon originally intended to pass the ball to Curry, who was standing some distance away, as usual, but the moment he turned around, the scene of being scolded by Curry suddenly flashed into his mind.
A strong sense of resentment welled up inside him, causing him to change his mind.
So Gordon flicked his wrist and threw the ball directly at David Lee, who was not far away.
David Lee was intently observing the situation on the court when he was suddenly hit squarely by a basketball flying towards him.
He was taken aback at first, and then a look of confusion appeared on his face.
However, he reacted quickly.
He turned around and, without hesitation, passed the ball to Curry, who had been anxiously waiting outside the three-point line.
By this point, Curry was growing impatient, and the belated pass only fueled his anger. In a regular practice game, given Curry's temper, he would have immediately rushed over and given Gordon a good beating. But this was a real game, so Curry suppressed his rage, gripped the basketball tightly, and fixed his gaze on Carroll, who was guarding him.
This time, Carroll clearly learned from his previous mistakes and was much smarter. Instead of sticking close to Curry like before, he deliberately took a step back, maintaining a certain distance from Curry.
Seeing this, Curry jumped and shot without hesitation from a step away from the free-throw line, his movement fluid and seamless. However, to everyone's dismay, this beautiful mid-range shot bounced a few times on the rim before ultimately missing the target.
The rebound sparked a scramble among the crowd.
In this fierce battle, Diop successfully grabbed the rebound thanks to his excellent jumping ability and positional advantage.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air before being accurately passed to Kemba Walker on the outside.
After receiving the ball, Kemba Walker quickly advanced forward and reached the center circle in the blink of an eye.
