690 Shifting blame at the last minute!
The atmosphere on the court was extremely tense at this moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jefferson.
He held the ball facing Su Hao, his determined gaze seemingly telling everyone: This time I'm going to go it alone!
Barkley, standing on the sidelines, yelled at the top of his lungs, "Hey! Look, is Jefferson going to go one-on-one against Su Hao? Su Hao just hit several shots over Jefferson! Is Jefferson trying to get revenge?"
Miller, standing nearby, calmly analyzed, "In my opinion, Jefferson is still somewhat weaker than Su Hao in terms of strength. It won't be easy for him to succeed in a one-on-one situation. I think he will ultimately choose to pass the ball."
However, just when most people thought Jefferson was about to launch a personal attack, something unexpected happened.
With only 3 seconds left on the shot clock, Jefferson suddenly passed the ball to Ginobili in the right corner.
Upon receiving the ball, Ginobili did not hesitate at all, and jumped to shoot despite Rasul Butler's tight defense.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc through the air and swished through the net!
If you miss the shot, you're just shifting the blame.
Seeing this, Barkley couldn't help but laugh and say, "Oh dear, it seems I underestimated Jefferson! Who would have thought he would choose to pass the ball in the end, and that his teammate actually made the shot. But this also shows that even these two Spurs players lacked enough confidence to go one-on-one against Su Hao's impenetrable defense!"
Hearing this, Miller couldn't help but tease Barkley, "Haha, what's wrong? You think you're confident you can take on Su Hao one-on-one?"
"Haha! I'm not that confident either, but I'm self-aware enough not to go head-to-head with Su Hao!" Barkley said.
"Hey! You actually chose to pass the ball! I thought you were going to shoot yourself! But thankfully your teammate made the shot!" Su Hao said to Jefferson as he retreated.
Jefferson's face darkened upon hearing Su Hao's words!
David Lee quickly passed the ball to Curry.
Curry received the ball and dribbled towards the frontcourt.
However, instead of attacking directly, he made a precise pass to Su Hao, who had been waiting for a long time, at the crucial moment.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the field was extremely tense, with the score difference between the two sides being only one point.
The Clippers players knew that every basket and turnover could decide the outcome of the game, so they were extremely cautious and no one dared to take a shot easily.
Whenever someone gets the ball, their first thought is to pass it to Su Hao as quickly as possible, because everyone knows that Su Hao's extremely high shooting percentage makes him the team's most reliable scoring guarantee.
Just then, an unexpected scene unfolded—the player originally responsible for defending Su Hao was replaced by Parker!
Looking at his opponent, who was a full two heads shorter than him, Su Hao couldn't help but feel pity and even felt reluctant to launch a fierce attack.
"Hey, Parker! Why are you guarding me? Do you think only you can successfully limit my performance on the defensive end?" Su Hao said to Parker with a smile.
Hearing this, Parker shook his head helplessly and replied, "To be honest, I don't know why I was switched to be in front of you! How about we talk about it, can I switch teammates to guard you?"
"Haha, in my opinion, you're the only one who's suitable to guard me. I doubt any of the other players on your team would be willing to switch defensive positions with you."
Su Hao teased Parker with a relaxed expression, while also glancing at Jefferson, who was lingering under the basket not far away.
However, when Jefferson felt Parker's gaze, he immediately looked away.
Seeing this, Parker shook his head helplessly, then turned to look at George Hill on the other side.
But to everyone's surprise, George Hill reacted even faster, turning his head away before Parker's gaze could even fully land on him.
Seeing this, even the slow-witted Parker finally understood – none of his teammates were willing to step forward and switch defensive positions with him.
After all, defending against a strong opponent like Su Hao is a thankless and arduous task.
Thinking of this, Parker couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.
Why is everyone so disloyal?
At this moment, Su Hao remained calm and composed, as if Parker posed no threat to him whatsoever.
The difference in physique between the two was indeed quite obvious; Parker appeared relatively smaller and thinner next to Su Hao.
Even so, Parker remained fully alert and prepared for the challenge.
"Hey, Parker, you'd better be prepared, because I'm about to launch my attack!" Su Hao shouted at Parker.
Upon hearing this, Parker dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly adjusted his defensive posture.
His slightly nervous appearance almost made Su Hao burst out laughing.
Faced with Su Hao's impending fierce offensive, Parker knew that all he could do was perhaps make some symbolic defensive moves.
Regardless, he was still determined to go all out and do his best to stop Su Hao's attack.
Su Hao gripped the basketball with both hands, his eyes fixed on the rim, and then, in a seemingly casual motion, forcefully threw the ball towards the basket.
Surprisingly, he didn't even jump once during the entire process; he simply stood still and completed the shot.
Meanwhile, Parker stared wide-eyed at the basketball in Su Hao's hand.
Despite his quick reaction and his best efforts to jump and try to interfere, his efforts had no real impact on Su Hao's shot.
The basketball that Su Hao threw went straight toward the basket.
With a soft "swish," the basketball swished through the net, landing cleanly and neatly in the hoop.
Seeing Su Hao so easily sink the ball, Parker shook his head helplessly and let out a long sigh. Then, he turned to Su Hao, his face full of frustration, and yelled, "I just can't do anything with you! I can't guard you at all! I don't want to guard you anymore!"
Hearing this, Su Hao looked at Parker and asked, "So, in your opinion, who on your team can defend me?"
Upon hearing this, Parker slowly turned around and glanced at his teammates.
However, after careful observation, he couldn't help but smile wryly and mutter to himself, "Sigh... it seems like we really can't find anyone on our team who can effectively limit your performance!"
