405 The away fans have turned against their own team!
After all, basketball is a team sport, and Su Hao didn't want to prevent his teammates from having a good opportunity to perform just because he wanted to score high.
Ibaka passed the ball to Harden again.
Harden seems to be going head-to-head with Curry, as Gordon was originally supposed to be guarding him.
As a result, in order to be able to match up against Curry, he deliberately moved the ball multiple times, successfully creating a matchup between himself and Curry.
Holding the ball and facing Curry's defense, Harden smiled contentedly.
He expressed his intention to succeed in the singles match this time.
Seeing his third brother being so willful, Durant stood on the right side of the three-point line with his hands on his hips.
They seem to be waiting for the outcome of this showdown.
After a series of crossover dribbles, Harden opted to drive to the basket.
He broke through on the left flank and successfully bypassed Curry.
He hadn't even tasted the flavor of "Suzhou-style hotpot," yet he still wanted to charge into the paint and challenge Su Hao's defense.
Just as Harden drove to within two steps of the basket.
They suddenly stopped their attack.
Only then did he realize that his decision was wrong.
Because when he drove in, none of the Clippers players came in to help defend.
Instead, they each took their positions and took responsibility for defending the perimeter players.
The inside game was entirely handed over to Su Hao.
With no other option, Harden had to grit his teeth and continue the attack.
He jumped, trying to dodge Su Hao's block in mid-air and put the ball into the basket.
Realizing he couldn't avoid the block, he passed the ball in mid-air to Perkins, who was also under the basket.
Perkins received the ball and prepared to jump and shoot.
But Su Hao wouldn't give him that chance. Before Perkins could even jump, Su Hao leaped high, stretched out his arm, and swatted the ball away.
The basketball flew towards the center of the court and landed right in the hands of a Clippers player.
The Clippers quickly launched a counterattack, and after a few passes, the ball came into Su Hao's hands.
Su Hao dribbled the ball forward quickly, then leaped high after getting past his opponent, preparing for a tomahawk dunk.
Harden jumped up to try and block the shot, but it was too late.
Su Hao slammed the ball into the basket like a mountain crushing an egg, drawing a foul from Harden in the process.
The referee blew the whistle, and Su Hao scored a 2+1.
The teammates on the sidelines were excitedly waving towels.
Su Hao made the free throw, further widening the score gap.
At this point, the Thunder called a timeout, and the coach deployed new tactics.
The game restarted, and the Thunder inbounded the ball.
Harden dribbled the ball and orchestrated the offense, his eyes fixed on the basket, seemingly determined to close the gap.
He skillfully used feints and changes of direction to fool the defenders and drive to the basket.
However, Su Hao was like an iron gate, closely following Harden and not giving Harden any chance to shoot.
At a crucial moment, Harden passed the ball to Durant on the perimeter, and Durant jumped and shot without hesitation after receiving the ball.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air and swished through the net, bringing the Thunder back to two points.
It seems the Thunder's tactics are really working; Harden isn't so fixated on his shots anymore.
The option was to pass the ball to Durant, who was more confident in his shot.
The game continued, and the Clippers inbounded the ball.
As a result, David Lee was careless when serving, and Westbrook actually intercepted the ball.
Su Hao ran quickly and fought hard to regain possession of the ball.
The teammates also went all out, cooperating closely to find opportunities to regain possession of the ball.
At this moment, Rasul Butler successfully intercepted the ball from a passerby and passed it to Su Hao.
He dribbled and sprinted towards the basket like a whirlwind.
The Thunder's defenders kept close behind, but Su Hao, with his excellent skills and speed, quickly shook off his opponents.
Leaping high, Su Hao prepared to dunk, but just as he was about to put the ball in the basket, the Thunder's center suddenly jumped up, stretched out his arm, and blocked the ball.
Seeing this, Su Hao quickly adjusted in mid-air, switching the ball from his right hand to his left, and then executed a layup, avoiding the opponent's center's block.
He then easily put the ball into the basket, completing a brilliant score.
The audience on the sidelines immediately erupted in cheers and applause.
The Thunder's home fans were also captivated by Su Hao's outstanding performance.
The Clippers' morale soared, while the Thunder appeared somewhat dejected.
"Is this away game going to turn into a home game again? Su Hao is amazing, once again using his skills to win over the fans!" Barkley laughed from the commentary booth.
"I have to say, Su Hao has quite a few fans. If any other player were dunking so recklessly in their home arena, the fans would have been furious. But after Su Hao dunked, the away fans actually seemed exceptionally excited!" Miller said.
It has to be said that Su Hao truly won over the away fans once again with his strength.
This caused the fans to turn against their own team, and the crowd began booing the Thunder players.
At this moment, the Thunder called a timeout. The coach solemnly warned the players to concentrate and not be overwhelmed by the opponent's momentum.
After the game restarted, the Thunder tightened their defense, but Su Hao remained unstoppable.
He moved nimbly across the court, breaking through the defense time and time again to score layups.
The Thunder players tried their best to stop him, but Su Hao's speed and strength were beyond their reach.
Half a minute into the first quarter, Su Hao dribbled the ball to the three-point line.
This is the Clippers' final possession of the first quarter.
The Thunder knew that Su Hao rarely took three-point shots, and were confident that his three-point shooting percentage was definitely not as high as that of his inside players.
As a result, they only assigned Ibaka to defend Su Hao outside the three-point line.
Su Hao held the ball in one hand and glanced at the timer.
He took the shot with two seconds left on the shot clock.
He shot a three-pointer over Ibaka's defense.
Even though Ibaka tried his best to block the basketball overhead.
Unfortunately, his jump height was insufficient, and he failed to reach the basketball.
He could only watch helplessly as the basketball flew over his head and headed towards the basket.
Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, the basketball landed steadily in the hoop.
The away fans cheered again.
It was as if they were truly at the Clippers' home court, becoming Clippers home fans.
"What kind of monster are you? You can even shoot three-pointers?" Harden looked at Su Hao in disbelief.
"Why can't I shoot three-pointers? Don't underestimate me just because I don't shoot many; my accuracy is high!" Su Hao said calmly.
In fact, Su Hao's three-point shooting percentage is still the highest on the Clippers team, but their team doesn't need him to shoot three-pointers from beyond the arc often.
After all, they still need him to guard the paint.
Harden was a little confused by Su Hao's answer.
Even a top center is coming out to compete with me in three-point shooting!
After hitting the three-pointer, the Clippers were given 12 seconds left in the first quarter.
