EBE 658 From leading to falling behind!
658 From leading to falling behind!
Upon receiving the order, David Lee immediately got up and ran towards the locker room without saying a word.
On the other side, the Bobcats players, who had just successfully reversed the score, all had joy on their faces, exuding the unique pride and confidence of victors.
They high-fived each other in celebration, their eyes revealing undisguised excitement and exhilaration.
"We actually managed to turn the tide against the mighty Clippers! How is this possible? Is this all just my imagination? Or am I having a wonderful yet unbelievable dream?!" Augustine stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief, and he stammered in amazement.
"No, this is absolutely real, not a dream!" Kemba Walker frowned and said worriedly, "But the most worrying problem now is that we have no idea when their super scorer, Su Hao, will actually play! I really hope he can make his appearance later!"
“That’s right. If Su Hao comes on later, with his terrifying strength and dominance, our team will probably have a hard time dealing with him. The advantage we’ve built up might vanish in an instant, and we might even be overtaken again, leading to a loss. But if he stays on the sidelines and chooses to observe, then this victory is almost a sure thing!” Karul said, arms crossed, looking very confident.
Just then, the Lynx's head coach spoke with a serious expression, reminding everyone: "You must not harbor any illusions. I can tell you definitively that Su Hao will definitely play, it's just that the exact time he'll be on the court is difficult to predict. So in the coming period, everyone must give it your all and try to widen the score gap as much as possible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, David Lee suddenly pushed open the door to the changing room, but to everyone's surprise, the room was empty and Su Hao was nowhere to be seen.
There were only a handful of staff members busy packing up their belongings in the entire locker room.
Faced with this situation, David Lee was completely bewildered and had no idea where Su Hao was at all.
Left with no other option, he had to turn around and return to the field.
As soon as he stepped onto the court, he ran into a flustered Curry, who eagerly asked, "Hey, David, have you seen Su Hao?"
"No! I searched the locker room thoroughly just now, but I didn't see him at all! Could it be... he's already gone?" David Lee shouted back, wiping the sweat from his brow.
Upon hearing this, Curry's eyes widened in surprise. "How is that possible?! The game is still in full swing! Su Hao just left without a word? This guy has way too much faith in us!"
Rasul Butler, standing to the side, shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Alas, it seems we're really going to disappoint Su Hao this time! Look at us, we've only played for less than a quarter, and the lead has been turned into a deficit in an instant."
With the referee blowing the whistle, the brief pause ended, and the game resumed.
Curry quickly replaced Gordon, who was performing poorly on the court, while the opposing team's Paul George replaced David Lee.
Both teams took their positions again, ready to begin a new round of competition.
The Bobcats clearly made a tactical adjustment, substituting their tall center for a smaller, more agile player.
It's clear that the Bobcats intend to fully utilize their speed advantage and establish a lead in the score as early as possible through fast breaks.
As expected, Curry displayed excellent form from the start of the game.
He skillfully used his signature dribbling technique to easily shake off the defender, then launched a beautiful jump shot. The basketball traced a graceful arc in the air and landed accurately in the basket.
However, before Curry's joy could fade, the Bobcats immediately launched a counterattack.
Kemba Walker quickly received the ball from his teammate and jumped to shoot from beyond the three-point line without hesitation.
The basketball swished through the net, instantly igniting the passion of the entire audience.
At this moment, the Clippers still had possession of the ball in Curry's hands, but the other players seemed to have lost their confidence in shooting due to their previous poor performance, and they all seemed a bit hesitant.
Despite Curry's poor shooting performance today, he still maintained strong shooting confidence.
Even when faced with a series of missed shots, Curry did not waver in his determination to keep shooting.
Meanwhile, the Bobcats were firing on all cylinders, with multiple players contributing to the attack.
Their offense was impressive, with excellent teamwork. Whether it was inside attacks or long-range shots, they demonstrated high efficiency and accuracy.
As time went on, the score gap between the two sides quickly widened to double digits.
At this moment, Barkley couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, the Clippers really can't function without Su Hao! Look how badly the team has collapsed so quickly since he left!"
Miller chimed in, "That's absolutely right. It seems the Clippers really need to consider making a trade to change the current situation. Right now, the players on the team are too reliant on Su Hao. Once they lose him as their core player, the whole team seems to instantly lose its direction and fighting spirit."
Upon hearing this, Barkley suddenly turned his gaze to Miller and asked with a hint of doubt, "Hey, you don't happen to know anything inside information, do you? Tell us, is the Clippers planning something big lately?"
However, Miller waved his hands repeatedly in denial, saying, "Don't joke around, man! How would I know any inside information? I'm just giving my opinion based on the performance on the court. Look at these Clippers players, they have no fighting spirit whatsoever, it's all just Su Hao carrying the team. If you ask me, even if you put my eighty-year-old grandmother on this team, she might be able to lead the team to a championship!"
After saying that, Miller couldn't resist making a humorous remark.
After hearing what Miller said, Barkley couldn't help but burst into laughter.
At that moment, the Clippers players on the sidelines who had overheard Barkley and Miller's conversation all wore incredibly embarrassed expressions.
Since the start of this season, the Clippers' performance has been abysmal during the period when Su Hao has not yet played.
