EBE 556 Christmas Day Match: Clippers vs. Heat!
556 Christmas Day Match: Clippers vs. Heat!
All the big names in Hollywood who could come were here.
Celebrities such as Jessica Alba, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Ivanka Trump, and Kim Kardashian.
This also includes moldy mold, of course.
Taylor Swift and Su Hao arrived at the arena together and sat down in seats near the Clippers' bench.
Today, the Clippers' opponent is the Heat from the Eastern Conference.
Both teams gave pre-match interviews to reporters before the game started.
Both sides declared themselves the ultimate victors in this match.
However, these verbal skills are not enough to convince people.
Seeing the Heat players still so confident that their team would win the game, the reporters couldn't help but tease them, "Can you really contain Su Hao under the basket? If you can't, then you've got no chance of winning!"
This reporter is really bold, knowing full well that the Heat have no player who can contain Su Hao in the paint.
To say something like that, isn't that just embarrassing the Heat?
Upon hearing the reporter's words, James and the other Heat players' faces instantly darkened.
"If there are no further problems, we'll go to the gym for some warm-up exercises."
After saying that, James led the way and left the Q&A session.
The reporters at the scene were completely bewildered.
The Clippers' questioning session was much more harmonious.
When faced with questions from reporters, Su Hao and his teammates answered almost every question.
As the match time approached, players from both sides entered the stadium.
Today's game will once again be played at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The fans in the stadium were extremely excited as they watched the home team take the field.
Perhaps it's because of Christmas, but the fans today seem more excited than usual.
They kept chanting the names of the home team players.
Su Hao and his teammates took off their jackets, walked onto the court, and began their pre-match warm-up training.
Just after Su Hao casually completed a dunk, James and Wade walked over from the other side.
"Su Hao, we've made thorough preparations for today's game. Are you ready to face defeat?" Wade said with a smile as he approached Su Hao.
"We're here today to end your winning streak! We're here to give you a warning!" James added.
"No way! You guys came here to tell me this? Don't you know you didn't win the last competition?" Su Hao looked at the two of them in disbelief.
James and Wade are trying to provoke Su Hao!
Unfortunately, their words did not put any pressure on Su Hao.
"You guys are all talk, don't beg for mercy during the match!" Su Hao said with a smile to the two of them.
“Uh! We’re not begging for mercy, we’re really here to defeat you!” Wade continued.
"Every team said they would beat us, but we beat them all!" Curry joked as he stepped forward.
Curry's words caused a brief awkward moment in the room.
"Enough talk, let's see who's the best on the court!" James said confidently.
Anyone who didn't know better would really think the Heat were going to end the Clippers' winning streak this time!
"Beep!"
With the referee's whistle, both teams took their positions, ready to begin the first quarter.
The Clippers' starting lineup: Curry, Gordon, Rasul Butler, David Lee, and Su Hao.
The Heat's starting lineup: Chalmers, Wade, Haslem, Bosh, James.
The players from both sides began to take their positions.
Su Hao and Haslem were standing in the center circle when the referee tossed the ball high between them.
After the ball was tossed up, Su Hao and Haslem jumped up at the same time to compete for possession.
With his excellent jumping ability, Su Hao touched the basketball first and passed it to Curry next to him.
Curry received the ball and quickly started his run, dribbling towards the Heat's basket.
The Heat's defenders immediately stepped in to block him, but Curry skillfully used his crossover dribbling technique to successfully break through the opponent's defense.
At that moment, Curry had no one in front of him. He jumped and shot, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air before swishing through the net.
The Clippers scored first, and the crowd cheered.
After the Heat inbounded the ball, Wade took possession and orchestrated the offense.
He used his teammate's screen to drive into the paint, drawing a double team before passing the ball to James on the perimeter.
James received the ball and decisively shot, hitting a three-pointer to answer back.
Judging from James' shooting, he must have practiced his three-point shot extra before the game.
When it was the Clippers' turn to inbound the ball, Curry passed it to Su Hao.
Su Hao was positioned right under the basket.
As Su Hao received the ball, Haslem became the Heat's last line of defense under the basket.
Facing Su Hao, who was significantly taller and heavier than him, he still tried to intercept him.
Su Hao raised the basketball high with one hand and delivered a one-handed dunk over Haslem, who was defending him head-on.
Su Hao dunked the basketball over Haslem.
The entire basketball hoop shook continuously under Su Hao's force.
With just a gentle tap, the rim almost fell apart!
Everyone who watched was terrified.
Haslem, who failed to intercept Su Hao's dunk, picked up the basketball from the ground and passed it to Chalmers, who was receiving the pass.
Chalmers received the ball and quickly advanced, looking for an opportunity.
He saw Curry guarding him, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes.
He faked a drive, causing Curry to shift his weight, and then passed the ball to Wade.
After receiving the pass, Wade used his footwork to get past Gordon's defense and positioned himself two or three meters to the right of the basket.
He completed a bank shot.
The ball goes in.
Judging from the start, the Heat's offense is playing relatively smoothly.
David Lee passed the ball to Curry.
Curry dribbles the ball up the court.
Once they reached the frontcourt, the Heat surprisingly began to double-team him.
Chalmers and Wade attacked from both sides.
For a moment, Curry was unable to shake off the two defenders.
Curry nearly made a mistake due to the interference from the two players.
At a crucial moment, Su Hao stepped out from the inside.
He moved in front of Curry and helped him set a screen.
Su Hao successfully blocked Chalmers, and Curry took the opportunity to quickly change direction and pass between the two.
At this moment, Wade quickly came to the rescue, but Curry did not choose to drive hard. Instead, he made a sudden stop and threw the ball high into the air.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air and fell directly into the basket.
The audience cheered, and Curry excitedly waved his fist.
He then turned around and gave Su Hao a high five in celebration.
"Wow, that screen was absolutely perfect! I would have made a mistake without you!" Curry excitedly high-fived Su Hao.
"Haha! Why don't you turn around and pass the ball to me? I can make a mid-range shot too!" Su Hao joked.
"Next round, it's your turn to pitch!"
