568 Su Hao: "I love you!"
At this point, the Heat were in a very favorable position.
The players' outstanding performance on the perimeter boosted their confidence, and the head coach praised their performance highly.
When the players returned to the sidelines, the head coach first gave them a round of enthusiastic praise: "Well done! Guys, your outside shooting was absolutely hot today!"
Then, he quickly pulled out the tactical board from his pocket, preparing to continue outlining the next tactical arrangements.
The brief pause passed quickly, and the game resumed.
With the referee's whistle, the Clippers gained possession of the ball.
However, the Heat players dared not relax at all. They closely followed their opponents, not giving them any easy opportunities to pass the ball or drive to the basket.
The basketball arced through the air before landing steadily in Curry's hands.
This time, the Heat were determined not to let Curry take easy shots.
Even if he does choose to make a move, it must be under the tight defense of his own side.
Moreover, the last thing the Heat want to see is Curry passing the ball to Su Hao.
Although Su Hao wasn't fully under the basket at the moment, everyone knew that Su Hao's mid-range consistency was now quite outstanding, even comparable to his ability to score inside.
Just then, Curry cleverly used a screen from teammate Rasul Butler to get rid of the defender and successfully reunited with Su Hao about two meters away from the basket.
With a perfectly synchronized hand-off pass, the basketball instantly found its way into Su Hao's hands.
Upon receiving the ball, Su Hao did not hesitate at all. Like an experienced hunter, he decisively jumped and shot.
The entire movement was performed in one smooth, clean, and efficient motion.
That mid-range shot was like a sharp sword, flying straight toward the basket.
Before Bosh, the defender in front of him, could react, Su Hao had already thrown the ball.
The basketball seemed to come alive, soaring high into the air at incredible speed and easily flying over Bosh's head.
It flew rapidly through the air, like a lightning bolt streaking across the sky, leaving behind a breathtakingly perfect arc.
The arc seemed meticulously calculated and designed, heading straight for the basket without any deviation.
All eyes of the audience were glued to the basketball, their hearts pounding in their throats.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and the entire court became completely silent, with only the whistling sound of the basketball rubbing against the air clearly audible.
Finally, under the tense yet expectant gaze of everyone, the basketball, like a precisely guided missile, landed steadily in the basket.
In an instant, the once quiet home stadium was ignited, with cheers and shouts resounding through the sky, deafeningly loud.
The passionate home fans stood up, waving their flags and banners and chanting, "Su Hao, MVP! Clippers, NBA Champions!"
Even Taylor Swift, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't contain her excitement. She stood up, cupped her hands to her mouth, and shouted loudly at the game, "Su Hao, I love you!"
In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene heated up again, and the enthusiasm almost burst through the roof.
At this moment, Bosh quickly delivered the ball from the baseline.
The basketball landed in Chalmers' hands.
Chalmers gripped the basketball tightly and began dribbling with difficulty toward the opponent's half of the court.
However, every step he took felt incredibly heavy, as the opposing defenders were relentlessly pursuing him, putting immense pressure on him. But Chalmers didn't give up easily; he gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, and moved forward step by step.
With great difficulty, Chalmers successfully dribbled the ball across half-court.
Just then, he made a brilliant pass with lightning speed, delivering the ball to the team's key player, James.
Since David Lee, who hadn't performed well before, had already left the game to rest, the responsibility of guarding James now fell on Su Hao.
Faced with Su Hao's tight frontal defense, James couldn't help but feel uneasy.
He was well aware of how strong Su Hao's defense was, so he wasn't entirely confident that he could force his way through or make a shot.
After a brief moment of thought, James decided to change tactics and pass the ball to his open teammate Bosh.
After all, just a short while ago, Bosh successfully hit a crucial three-pointer.
Bosh didn't slack off at all after receiving the pass. He immediately started running and changing positions, trying to find the best opportunity to shoot.
Hard work pays off. After a series of brilliant runs, Bosh finally found a relatively ideal position to receive the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left.
At the same time, James, who had been closely monitoring the situation, passed the ball without hesitation.
The basketball flew through the air at high speed and landed steadily in Bosh's hands in the blink of an eye.
With the shot clock about to expire, Bosh was extremely anxious. He knew he could no longer hesitate, so he gritted his teeth and forced a jump to shoot.
Unfortunately, the basketball did not fly along the trajectory he expected, but instead slammed heavily against the edge of the rim and bounced away.
The rebound was like a tempting piece of meat, attracting everyone to fight over it.
At a crucial moment, Aldridge demonstrated outstanding rebounding ability. He leaped high, accurately judged the ball's landing point, and successfully secured the rebound.
Immediately afterwards, Aldridge passed the ball to Su Hao without hesitation.
Su Hao started moving like a whirlwind, gripping the basketball tightly with one hand and advancing forward at an astonishing speed.
Upon seeing this, Bosh immediately rushed forward without hesitation, trying to stop Su Hao's advance and prevent him from easily approaching the three-point line.
However, Su Hao's strength was far beyond Bosh's imagination.
Faced with Bosh's tenacious defense, Su Hao only slightly increased his force with a headbutt, and Bosh was hit as if by a speeding truck, involuntarily staggering back several steps.
In this way, Su Hao easily broke through Bosh's defenses.
Su Hao, who had made his way unimpeded, quickly reached the free-throw line, then abruptly stopped, frozen in place like a statue. He then adjusted his posture, aimed at the basket, and with a gentle flick of his wrist, released the basketball.
The moment the basketball flew from Su Hao's hands, the entire court seemed to freeze.
The Heat players stared wide-eyed, inwardly groaning. Based on their years of experience and intuition, they were almost certain that the shot would go in.
As expected, the basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air and flew straight toward the basket like a precision-guided missile.
