"Don't let your guard down, everyone. It would be so embarrassing if the opponent caught up!" Rasul Butler reminded everyone with a smile.
However, Curry seemed somewhat distracted at this moment.
He turned his gaze to Su Hao, who was resting on the sidelines, and joked, "Hey, you guys are all too idle! I'm really curious, how did Su Hao's mid-range shot suddenly become so accurate? Tell us, is there some inside information?"
Upon hearing this, Su Hao, who had been leisurely sipping the energy drink handed to him by a staff member, put down his cup, a slight smile playing on his lips, and slowly replied, "I'm not telling you! To cast accurately, you have to put in more effort than others. Taking shortcuts isn't so easy!"
Upon hearing this, Curry's face showed a skeptical expression. He stared wide-eyed at Su Hao and retorted, "I'd be a fool to believe you! I've never seen you specifically practice your mid-range shooting. How could you suddenly become so accurate? There must be something fishy going on!"
Clearly, Curry didn't entirely believe Su Hao's explanation, after all, they were teammates and good friends, and they knew each other's training habits very well.
He knew that Su Hao never practiced mid-range shooting on purpose, so he was very puzzled by this sudden change.
This sudden and accurate shot left his teammate in disbelief.
Just as his teammates were trying to get some more information from Su Hao,
The whistle sounded.
"Beep!"
The game has begun.
The players from both sides quickly entered the field.
Deron Williams received the ball on the perimeter and, after receiving a pass from his teammate, chose to drive to the basket without hesitation, despite being guarded one-on-one by Gordon.
He dashed forward like lightning, reaching the free-throw line in the blink of an eye, and then decisively released his shot – a mid-range jumper. The basketball arced beautifully through the air, soaring over Gordon's head and hurtling straight toward the basket.
However, fate seemed to play a cruel joke; the basketball ultimately failed to hit the rim, bounced off the edge, and was left out.
However, Su Hao reacted quickly, jumping up and successfully securing the rebound.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately sent out a long pass, and the ball, like a precision-guided missile, accurately reached the hands of Rasul Butler in the distance.
Facing an empty basket, Rasul Butler was ecstatic. He leaped high and slammed the ball through the net. This spectacular dunk instantly ignited the passion of the crowd, with cheers and applause resounding throughout the arena.
Su Hao's precise pass meant the Clippers' attack took less than three seconds.
After this goal, the score difference between the two sides has reached 22 points.
At this point, there were less than 10 seconds left in the first quarter.
The Jazz have a chance to take the final shot.
Obre passes the ball to Deron.
The latter dribbled the ball up the court quickly, facing the Clippers' full-court defense.
We dared not be careless in the slightest.
Under the combined attack of Rasul Butler and Gordon, Deron Williams finally conceded a goal with three seconds remaining on the shot clock.
He chose to pass the ball to O'Connell in the paint.
Facing Su Hao's defense under the basket, the latter actually tried to dunk the ball into the hoop.
It seems this guy is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.
They actually dared to dunk over Su Hao's head.
O'Connor held the ball with both hands, stood up, and was about to dunk it into the basket.
In the blink of an eye, at the critical moment...
Su Hao jumped at the same time, and with one hand, he slapped the basketball hard out of O'Connor's hands and out of bounds.
At the same time, the timer's red light illuminates.
The first quarter of the game has officially ended.
Watching the basketball being swatted away by Su Hao.
O'Connor then realized the gap between the two sides.
The Jazz home crowd was stunned into silence by Su Hao's block.
However, after a brief silence, the scene erupted in excitement again.
"How could you miss such a sure goal? You're a complete waste!" Deron roared at O'Connor.
He was trying to vent his anger.
In the first quarter, the Jazz only managed to lose by 22 points thanks to Deron Williams' performance.
Without Deron Williams' output, they would probably be down by more than 30 points by now.
The Clippers scored a high of 55 points in just one quarter.
Su Hao scored 35 points.
"The first quarter is over already? The Jazz are already down by 22 points to the Clippers! Is there any point in continuing the game?" Yang Yi exclaimed, looking at the statistics.
"The Jazz are currently eighth in the West, right? If they were to face the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs, wouldn't they be swept 4-0 and eliminated? They wouldn't stand a chance!" Su Qun was also shocked by the gap in strength between the two teams.
So far in the season, all the Western Conference teams have already played against the Clippers.
However, their records are all negative.
So far, no Western Conference team has been able to beat the Clippers.
Moreover, Su Hao put up amazing stats in the matches against these teams.
All teams' interior defenses were completely overwhelmed.
They had absolutely no chance to fight back.
Back on the sidelines, the Jazz players surrounded their head coach, listening to his tactical instructions.
This time they have no way out. Facing a 22-point deficit, they still have a chance to catch up.
It all depends on whether they have the ability.
Or maybe the Clippers will let them win.
However, the Clippers don't seem to be giving them a chance.
"We're now up by 22 points, should we let them have a bit of an easy time?" David Lee said with a smile.
"What are you thinking? Hurry up and finish the game so you can go home and rest. You want to go easy on them? You must be joking!" Gordon stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"The game has come this far, why hold back? Let's finish it early and go home!" Su Hao said calmly.
"Yeah, let's hurry back. Christmas is just around the corner! We need to go back and celebrate with our families!" Curry chimed in.
It turns out that Christmas is just a few days away.
However, as part of the year's biggest event, the Clippers also have to participate in the Christmas Day game.
The competition schedule on Christmas Day was quite interesting.
The league assigned the Clippers' opponent to the Heat that day.
Both teams boast a star-studded lineup.
A lot to watch.
The last time the two teams met, the Heat lost to the Clippers.
Su Hao single-handedly routed the entire Heat team.
It remains to be seen how the Heat will respond to this Christmas Day game.
"Beep!"
The second quarter begins.
Two players take the field!
