492 Curry's small goal!
492 Curry's small goal!
Just as Rose was about to jump and shoot again, he suddenly looked up and was surprised to find that Su Hao had appeared in front of him at some point.
Rose immediately put down the basketball he had just raised to shoot, because he knew Su Hao's strength and physical advantages.
Facing Su Hao, who was taller and stronger than him, Ross had no confidence that he could break through head-on.
His heart skipped a beat, realizing that something was wrong.
After a brief moment of thought, Rose ultimately decided to abandon his personal attack and pass the ball to his teammate.
However, in the instant he was distracted looking around for a passing target, Su Hao keenly seized the opportunity.
Su Hao swiftly reached out and, with lightning speed, snatched the basketball from Rose's hands. Rose was completely caught off guard and could only watch helplessly as the ball was taken away.
After successfully stealing the ball, Su Hao immediately started moving, taking three steps at a time, and sprinted towards the frontcourt like a cheetah.
After realizing what was happening, Ross desperately tried to catch up, but Su Hao was too fast, and Ross was left further and further behind.
Bogans, who was closest to Su Hao, was so frightened by the oncoming "Hulk" Su Hao that he dared not step forward to block him. He simply stepped aside, making way for Su Hao to go straight to the basket.
At this moment, Bogans only hoped that Su Hao wouldn't bump into him; everything else was irrelevant to him.
"What's going on? The Bulls players have actually given up on defense?"
"This is unbelievable! Does Bogans not want to stay with the Bulls anymore? He's actually given up?"
"What a clever guy! Choosing to dodge in the face of Su Hao's attack was a wise choice!"
The onlookers were dumbfounded. Su Hao, holding the ball with one hand, jumped from the free-throw line.
"Clang!" The basketball was slammed into the basket by Su Hao with the grace of a roc spreading its wings.
The home fans immediately erupted in gasps of surprise.
The teammates on the sidelines all stood up, each with an exaggerated expression.
Curry immediately went up to Su Hao and gave him a high five.
"Su Hao, this game is almost turning into your personal exhibition match, can't you let me shine a little too!" Curry looked at Su Hao with a mischievous grin.
"You're not dazzling enough! You're about to reach your goal of making ten three-pointers this game! Do you want to dunk too?" Su Hao teased Curry as he retreated on defense.
"Hey, then give me a chance!" Curry muttered.
"Haha, don't worry, there will be other opportunities later!" Su Hao replied with a smile.
The atmosphere on the field was lively, and the audience was extremely excited.
"Stop kidding me. You want me to dunk? You know me, even without a defender, I might not be able to dunk the ball!" Curry said, sounding a little aggrieved.
As they were talking, the Bulls had already inbounded the ball.
After Ruud Deng brought the ball up the court, he immediately passed it to Rose.
Faced with a significant deficit in the score, the Bulls are now pinning all their hopes on Derrick Rose.
The Clippers still assigned Gordon to defend him, and this time Rose clearly didn't want to drive into the paint again.
Seeing Su Hao guarding the paint, he had no confidence at all in being able to score inside.
Now all I can do is try more outside shots, hoping to make some progress from beyond the arc.
After a series of crossover dribbles, he still chose to stay outside the three-point line.
With the Bulls trailing by such a large margin, scoring two points at a time is no longer enough to close the gap.
Moreover, when the Clippers were on offense, they simply couldn't stop Su Hao from scoring relentlessly in the paint.
With the third quarter already halfway through, the Bulls didn't have much time left.
Rose took a deep breath, his eyes fixed firmly ahead, and he made a silent vow: he must seize this opportunity and not let down the team and the fans.
He gripped the basketball tightly, feeling its texture, as if he had become one with it.
The trusting gazes of his teammates and the encouraging words of his coach echoed in his ears, inspiring him to give it his all.
Rose began to accelerate his drive, using his agile footwork and excellent ball-handling skills to quickly get rid of Gordon's defense.
He dashed toward the basket like lightning, drawing the Clippers' defense's attention.
However, right after getting past Gordon, Rose suddenly stepped back to the three-point line and then jumped to shoot.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air, flying towards the basket like a shooting star.
The audience held their breath, watching this crucial moment with bated breath.
With a crisp thud, the basketball landed perfectly in the hoop, eliciting enthusiastic cheers from the entire arena.
The Clippers' home fans actually started celebrating for Rose.
It seems that Rose's performance has earned the respect of the Clippers' home fans.
Ross excitedly waved his fist.
After the ball went in, Rose appeared extremely excited.
Boozer, Noah, and other teammates excitedly went up to him and gave him a high-five.
Although this basket didn't significantly change the score, it at least showed that Rose was in excellent form.
This gave him more options, whereas he was previously hesitant to attempt many outside shots.
The scene changes.
David Lee has already passed the ball to Curry.
The latter dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt.
Luol Deng, who was defending Curry, kept his eyes fixed on the basketball in Curry's hands.
It was as if they were afraid that if they weren't careful, Curry would hit a three-pointer right over their heads.
In fact, deep down, Curry also longed to make that three-pointer himself, after all, he only had four three-pointers left to reach his goal of tenth three-pointer in this game.
While Curry was still hesitating about whether to pass the ball to Su Hao under the basket, he couldn't help but look towards Su Hao.
However, when he saw Su Hao's signal in his eyes, he understood that Su Hao wanted him to shoot the three-pointer himself.
Given that, Curry stopped considering passing the ball.
Facing Luol Deng's one-on-one defense, Curry cleverly used David Lee's high screen to successfully evade Deng's defense. He then jumped and released the ball, which arced gracefully through the air before swishing it cleanly through the net!
The audience immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and Curry excitedly waved his fist.
This three-pointer was not only a strong response to Rose's earlier basket, but it also brought him one step closer to achieving his goal of hitting three-pointers in this game.
As Curry sank another three-pointer, Su Hao retreated on defense and approached Curry, teasingly saying, "Hey, you're really hot! You've already hit seven three-pointers? That's a full twenty-one points!"
