NBA: The Hulk's talent has female celebrities going wild.

第253章 34分27板15帽！1战封神！

Su Hao's restricted area is permanently off-limits to flying.

All three young masters' attempts to drive to the basket were blocked by Su Hao, and even when he was pulled out, Su Hao's strong physique and powerful athleticism were evident.

This allows him to maintain his amazing defensive capabilities.

Airtight.

Suffocating.

Most importantly... Su Hao's defensive area is too wide. It seems that no matter where you attack, you will encounter Su Hao's help defense.

You can feel the oppressive aura of a "prehistoric crocodile".

This is really a headache.

No way.

They can only attack from the outside more often, and at the same time... once Su Hao comes out to help, they must immediately move the ball to the other side.

Let the rest of the players attack.

Fortunately, the Thunder have no shortage of offensive firepower on the perimeter.

Durant, Westbrook, and Harden are all offensively capable players.

but.

Apart from Durant, Westbrook and Harden also struggled offensively.

Westbrook tried to finish the offense with shots, but they weren't working. Instead, he kept driving to the basket and started to drive into the paint.

But prehistoric crocodiles roam that area.

Even if he becomes a "divine turtle" in the future, he will still not be qualified to challenge the "prehistoric giant crocodile".

Harden is still a rookie, whether it's his ability to draw fouls, his "Euro step," or his "step-back."

There is absolutely no integrity.

He's good at leading the bench players, but he's not very effective when facing a group of NBA-level, strong starters.

The Thunder's offense was not going smoothly.

"Beep!"

Coach Brooks called a timeout.

Sofrosa looked surprised. "Wait, why does the Clippers' defense seem so strong? Apart from Su Hao, the Clippers don't have any defensive stalwarts."

Especially Curry.

He managed to disrupt Harden and Westbrook's offense?!

How is this possible?!

"it's wired!"

Harden was also very confused.

"no!"

Westbrook shook his head. "Stephen Curry can't bother me at all. It's like I'm playing around when I drive past him."

but.

Even if I get past him, I'll still be facing an even more powerful "prehistoric crocodile," which will only make my attack more difficult.

"Yes."

Durant frowned and pointed out the crux of the problem: "The Clippers' perimeter defense is average, but Su Hao's defense in the paint is too strong."

So much so that all they had to do was watch our shots.

Once we break through, Su Hao will come to our defense, which will make it very difficult for us to fight.

Focusing solely on shooting will double the defensive effectiveness and give us the illusion that the rest of the Clippers players are very strong defensively.

"correct."

Coach Brooks nodded, "Ultimately, it's because Su Hao's offensive and defensive abilities are too strong, but even knowing that..."

We still need to be more resolute in our attack.

Whether it's a shot from the outside or a drive to the basket inside.

Of course, the main premise is... to avoid Su Hao as much as possible. As for other things, don't overthink it, trust yourselves.

The situation is clear.

All you need to do is stay confident, and also... watch the "Thunder Trio" unleash their power.

If the outside shooters can ignore the defense and make some difficult shots, that can solve the problem as well.

If the inside player can be in top form and break through Su Hao's defense, or even if they have to drop a level and break through Su Hao's help defense, the problem can still be solved.

It all depends on whether they can do it or not.

Is that possible?!

Harden at this point in time is definitely giving away free wins.

At this point in his career, Westbrook still has a "zombie jump shot" and some accuracy on three-pointers, allowing him to attack from the outside.

Durant goes without saying.

The title of "the essence of human jump shooting" bestowed upon Carmelo Anthony is equally applicable to Kevin Durant, the "scoring machine."

After some adjustment.

The two teams' attacks became slightly more evenly matched.

But...that's all.

At halftime, the Clippers' lead of 8 points from the first quarter had widened to as much as 13 points, putting the pressure entirely on the Thunder.

The most troublesome thing is...

Su Hao, who played with great determination tonight, scored 27 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists and 8 blocks in the first half. These stats are... terrifying.

"Su Hao's performance in the first half was too outstanding."

Barkley was stunned. "He's truly the strongest monster of the early 21st century! 'Prehistoric Crocodile' Su Hao is like the modern-day 'Ancient Beast' Chamberlain!"

"Tsk tsk..."

Reggie Miller couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, "21 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 blocks in the first half—that's truly what basketball is like when it's fully matured."

Are these the statistics a normal player could produce?!

Even a brush couldn't get it out!

This dominance is too great; it's almost as if one person used their own strength to utterly crush the "Thunder Three Young Masters" and the entire Thunder team.

The Thunder played out of position, and their defensive strategy was very effective.

However, their inside game is not strong enough, and their three young guards are somewhat inexperienced. They cannot convert all their talents into equivalent fighting power.

They seem to still need more experience and growth.

On the other hand, the Clippers.

Despite the fact that both stars were selected for the first time, and despite Curry's inexperience and his performance under intense defense, which was not as good as in the regular season, the team's two stars were selected for the first time.

but.

Su Hao, the newly crowned champion, has performed flawlessly and doesn't look like a rookie at all.

On the contrary.

He is like a seasoned and powerful leader who has been competing in the playoffs for many years and is steadily making his way to the finals.

The Hulk is so incredibly steady.

The commentator praised Su Hao highly.

Su Hao deserves praise and admiration for his phenomenal performance in the first half of his playoff debut!

"boom!"

The Clippers fans at home were ecstatic.

Before the playoffs, everyone was only worried about one thing: whether Su Hao would be able to adapt to the intensity of the playoffs.

In hindsight, my worries were completely unnecessary.

Even if Curry and the other players haven't adapted yet, it doesn't matter, as long as Su Hao remains as fierce as ever.

That's enough.

That opens up endless possibilities.

Intermission.

The entire Thunder team remained silent.

They know all the offensive and defensive tactics, and they are very clear about them, but if their core strength is lacking, then there's really nothing they can do.

just now.

All they can do is adjust their mindset and strive for a breakout performance in the second half.

The idea is beautiful.

The reality is very skinny.

The Thunder's "Big Three," making their first playoff appearance, were still quite inexperienced, and it was difficult for them to have a breakout performance under immense pressure.

Only Durant is the most consistent.

After all... with his solid physical and shooting talent, he can beat any Clippers player except Su Hao without any disadvantage.

But he can only shoot from the outside.

Without drives to the basket and dunks, efficiency will definitely drop compared to usual.

Su Hao became increasingly formidable on both offense and defense, becoming more and more unstoppable as the game progressed.

After three quarters, the Clippers were already leading by 17 points, and the game was heading towards a blowout.

Fortunately, in the final quarter, during the bench rotation, Harden teamed up with Ibaka to help the team narrow the gap to 13 points.

To force more suspense into the game.

As a result... Su Hao came on and first blocked Durant and Westbrook, one for each of them. Then he dunked over Jeff Green with an alley-oop.

then.

Curry made a steal from Durant as he drove into the low post.

Without stopping the ball, the first pass found Su Hao, who was sprinting out of the frontcourt. Su Hao received the ball, rushed to the center circle, and slammed the basketball forward.

Just one dribble.

With those three big strides, Westbrook and Harden, who were rapidly closing in on both sides, stared wide-eyed in despair.

Watching Su Hao glide and slam dunk.

Su Hao's ultimate move: [Super Layup]!!!

Even though this wasn't his first time performing a dunk, every time he completed one, it was still astonishing, making fans cheer and shout.

Simultaneously.

This incredible layup extended the lead to 20 points, shattering the Thunder's confidence and forcing them to surrender!
