EBE 551 Curry is awesome!
551 Curry is awesome!
Just now, in that breathtaking round...
Su Hao and Durant engaged in a thrilling duel.
Durant leaped high into the air, ready to shoot.
However, to his utter surprise, Su Hao leaped up swiftly like a nimble cheetah and successfully intercepted him in mid-air.
At that moment, an expression of disbelief appeared on Durant's face.
Because he had never experienced such immense defensive pressure before.
"Su Hao is giving the Thunder no chance to breathe! He can even block such a difficult shot in mid-air! His physical abilities are simply incredible!" an excited spectator shouted.
Another spectator chimed in, "Yeah! The Thunder are really out of luck now! If things continue like this, they'll just have to watch themselves lose the game."
"Absolutely! Even a scorer as good as Durant can't shake off Su Hao's tight defense. I dare say that Su Hao is the best defensive player this year!" Another spectator excitedly expressed his opinion.
At this moment, the audience on the sidelines had already erupted in a frenzy, with everyone talking at once.
After making that brilliant aerial interception, Su Hao passed the ball to his teammate Curry without hesitation.
After receiving the ball, Curry charged forward at breakneck speed like a whirlwind.
Meanwhile, Harden followed closely behind him, using all his strength to chase after him.
On the other side, Westbrook was equally determined, joining Harden in a pincer attack on Curry, attempting to stop him from raining down three-pointers from the outside.
Curry skillfully weaved between the two, looking for an opportunity to break through.
His eyes were firm, and his movements were agile, like an elf on the court.
Westbrook and Harden were hot on their heels, knowing that if Curry found an opening, the consequences would be dire.
Just then, Curry suddenly stopped and changed direction, catching Harden off guard and leaving him behind.
Westbrook quickly stepped in to defend, but Curry had already jumped, the basketball in his hands drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
"Shh!"
The ball went in!
Three point hit!
The entire stadium erupted in cheers, which were deafening.
After landing, Curry smiled and gave Su Hao a high-five in celebration.
"Wow! That was a beautiful three-pointer!" Su Hao joked to Curry.
Curry responded without any modesty, "Look at you, my three-pointers have always been beautiful! This time is no exception!"
Watching the amazing teamwork between Curry and Su Hao.
The Thunder players looked somewhat frustrated, realizing that the situation in the game was becoming increasingly unfavorable.
Curry's three-pointer was like a sharp sword, piercing the Thunder's defense.
At this point, the situation on the court became increasingly tense. The opposing Clippers team demonstrated strong strength and excellent teamwork, causing the Thunder to gradually fall behind.
The Thunder promptly called a timeout, and Coach Brooks quickly walked to the sidelines, picked up the clipboard, and began gesturing.
He frowned, his eyes fixed on the tactics board, quickly sketching out tactical arrangements while explaining various possible countermeasures in a low voice.
However, despite Brooks's painstaking efforts to constantly adjust and try different tactics, each approach seemed to have obvious flaws.
Faced with such a powerful Clippers team, those seemingly ingenious tactics now appear pale and powerless.
This made Brooks secretly lament that he felt it was simply not enough to rely solely on his existing interior players to compete with the opponent.
In particular, center Perkins has fully exposed his weaknesses in previous matches.
He was completely outmatched in his matchup against Clippers' star player Su Hao, struggling to withstand Su Hao's sharp attacks on both offense and defense.
Brooks was filled with regret, thinking that if he had spent more time and effort this summer looking for more, better, and more outstanding interior players, perhaps the situation wouldn't be so passive now.
Standing to the side, Durant also looked worried. He muttered in a low voice, "I'm afraid we have little hope in this game..."
Upon hearing this, the coach and his teammates all turned to look at him, their expressions instantly becoming serious.
For a moment, the entire rest area was shrouded in a somber atmosphere. No one spoke; only the heavy breathing of everyone could be heard.
The silence lasted for a while, until finally Brooks broke it.
He took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and said in a firm and powerful tone, "Even though our chances seem slim right now, we must not give up so easily! We cannot let down our fans who have always supported us!" As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes were on him.
Just then, Westbrook stepped forward, looking confidently at the coach and saying loudly, "Coach, you're right! The game is far from over; anything can happen. As long as we don't give up and give it our all, we definitely still have a chance to turn things around!"
After saying that, he clenched his fist forcefully, as if to infuse himself and his teammates with boundless energy.
Coach Brooks stared wide-eyed at Westbrook, who was spouting nonsense, and froze on the spot, as if petrified, unable to recover for a long time.
Westbrook, on the other hand, maintained his confident demeanor, his eyes firm and sharp, as if victory was already firmly in his grasp.
However, anyone who saw Westbrook at this moment would have doubts.
Based on his current form and performance, is he really capable of leading the team to victory against this formidable opponent?
Let alone Brooks, the team's head coach, who doesn't believe it, even the most loyal fans would probably have a big question mark about it!
It's worth noting that in this crucial game, Westbrook completely lost himself, becoming virtually invisible on the court.
The Russell Westbrook who was once known for his sharp drives and powerful dunks was nowhere to be seen. Throughout the entire game, the audience did not even witness a single spectacular drive and dunk.
Moreover, his performance in organizing the offense was equally abysmal, with very few assists, having delivered a paltry three assists so far.
These statistics are a disgrace to Westbrook, far below his average for the entire season.
Even so, the stubborn Westbrook still believed in his own strength and skill.
