445 Su Hao's one-man fast break dunk!
Strangely, even after noticing this phenomenon, the Clippers' head coach still did not choose to adjust the team's tactics.
Surprisingly, Su Hao did not ask for possession of the ball.
Curry was being a bit unfair, as he wanted Su Hao to grab the offensive rebound and then pass it to him.
Keep letting him shoot from the outside.
After Kobe scored, the Clippers still did not call a timeout.
The score difference between the two teams is now down to just one point.
If the Clippers fail to score again this time, the Lakers could very well take the lead in the next possession.
David Lee passed the ball to Curry again from the baseline.
After receiving the ball, Curry quickly dribbled up the court.
"Curry, are you going to shoot yourself? I think you should just shoot yourself! Don't pass the ball to Su Hao!" Fisher, who was responsible for guarding Curry, kept muttering to Curry.
They wanted to provoke Curry to keep shooting from the outside.
The Lakers would rather watch Curry shoot three-pointers from the outside than see the ball pass into the paint and into Su Hao's hands.
Outside shots are not as reliable as inside shots.
Moreover, Su Hao, with a 100% shooting percentage, was under the basket.
If he gets the ball, he's sure to score.
Putting aside whether he can make the shot, the threat posed by the ball in Su Hao's hands is many times greater than that in the hands of other players.
Although the Lakers want to see Curry continue shooting three-pointers, they don't want to let him shoot them indiscriminately.
Even with Fisher on defense, Kobe unusually stepped in to help defend him.
It seemed like they were giving him a chance to shoot, but in reality, they wanted to force Curry into making a mistake.
Fortunately, Rasul Butler stepped in to set a screen for him.
That was the only time Curry was out of trouble, but then Curry, with David Lee's screen, still managed to hit another three-pointer.
The ball bounced off the rim again.
This time, because Curry used too much force, the ball bounced to near the free throw line.
Gasol got the rebound.
Seeing the opponent grab the rebound, Curry couldn't help but feel frustrated and started to retreat on defense.
Su Hao could only run back and forth for several rounds without touching the basketball at all.
This is not a good sign.
Could it be that the Clippers are intentionally throwing the game for the Lakers?
They deliberately prevented Su Hao from attacking under the basket, thus reducing their team's scoring.
The Lakers are about to take the lead! The Clippers are really giving them a chance!
They've missed three-pointers in a row, and not only has the score gap not widened, but they're now in danger of being overtaken!
It's really surprising.
In order to seize this opportunity to take the lead.
The Lakers still let Kobe handle the ball.
The Clippers knew that this offensive play would definitely have to be left to Kobe.
So they sent Gordon and Rasul Butler to double-team Kobe.
Despite repeated changes of direction and using screens from teammates, Kobe still couldn't find a suitable shooting position.
Just when the attack time was running out and it was about to reach the 24-second mark.
Kobe surprisingly chose to pass the ball to Bynum in the paint.
Keep in mind that Bynum was facing Su Hao's defense under the basket.
After receiving the ball, Bynum didn't have much time to think and immediately chose to jump forcefully to try and dunk the ball into the basket.
Just as Bynum jumped and was about to dunk the basketball into the basket.
A pair of giant hands slashed out.
They forcefully pushed the basketball out of Bynum's hands.
The ball was forcibly taken away by Su Hao in mid-air.
Startled, Bynum plopped down on the floor.
"Su Hao, this is too much! You're bullying me!"
Su Hao's block just now almost made Bynum cry.
Su Hao ignored him and dribbled the ball quickly forward with one hand.
Curry, who was waiting outside the three-point line, had already reached out his hand, waiting for Su Hao to pass the ball.
Unexpectedly, Su Hao had no intention of passing the ball to the other side at all.
Instead, he took possession of the ball and continued to advance towards the inside.
Gasol tried to step forward to stop him, but Su Hao bumped him so hard that he stumbled and staggered backward.
Continue pushing towards the inside.
Bynum was trembling inside, still hoping that Su Hao would pass the ball to his teammate.
Good heavens, Su Hao had absolutely no intention of passing the ball.
He actually drove straight to the basket.
Attack the basket head-on.
Knowing that Su Hao was going to attack the basket, the Lakers only had two interior players, Gasol and Bynum, who could step up and block him.
It can only withstand one or two attacks; it can't do much more.
Under the watchful eyes of his coach and teammates, Bynum finally gritted his teeth and stepped up.
They wanted to disrupt Su Hao's route.
Su Hao, without hesitation, leaped into the air and slammed the ball into the basket over Bynum.
As Su Hao leaped up and slammed the ball down with both hands, Bynum under the basket seemed to freeze in place.
They remained rooted to the spot without moving an inch.
The fans at the scene instantly became excited.
They hadn't seen Su Hao take the initiative to attack for quite some time.
Fans who initially thought the Clippers were throwing the game for the Lakers are now getting excited.
They wondered if Su Hao was starting to take the competition seriously now.
They're about to take over the game and end the Lakers' confidence in winning.
On the Clippers' bench, the teammates stood up and applauded.
During the time Su Hao was silent, his teammates on the sidelines had lost their passion.
They looked as if they were about to fall asleep.
If it weren't for Su Hao's powerful dunk, some of the substitute players would probably be dozing off right now.
"Great shot! We thought Su Hao was diving! We never expected him to pull this off so suddenly. Even the Lakers didn't anticipate Su Hao initiating the attack!" Yang Yi exclaimed.
"Has Su Hao finally woken up? If Su Hao gets serious, the Lakers will be in trouble. It's really too difficult for Kobe to carry this game alone! Hopefully, their other players can step up!" Su Qun said with a smile.
"This game is going to be exciting! Su Hao's move was ruthless! Although the Lakers are facing a lot of defensive pressure right now, as long as Kobe can maintain his previous shooting touch, it's not impossible for them to win!" Coach Zhang said calmly.
Judging from Coach Zhang's words, it's clear that he still strongly supports the Lakers.
He truly lives up to his reputation as a die-hard Kobe fan.
Just after Su Hao scored, during the defensive transition, Curry walked over to Su Hao and whispered a few words to him.
Su Hao smiled and shook his head.
The Lakers continued their offensive offensive.
Kobe was still holding the ball at the high post.
Facing Gordon's close defense.
Kobe didn't rush to shoot this time, but instead signaled to his teammates to create some distance.
He will continue to play singles.
