EBE 539 Su Hao's three-pointer missed!
539 Su Hao's three-pointer missed!
The three-pointer was launched again like an arrow, but this time, compared to the last time, it lacked the unwavering determination. It seemed to be bound by doubts in its heart, appearing hesitant and indecisive.
The moment the basketball was released, it was obvious that it had begun to skew, losing its original straight trajectory.
Ultimately, the basketball failed to hit the rim as expected, and with a loud "bang," it missed, marking the failure of the shot.
At this moment, Su Hao successfully secured the rebound once again.
After securing the rebound, Su Hao did not pass the ball to his teammates as quickly as he usually would.
Instead, relying on his skillful ball control, he firmly gripped the ball with one hand and dashed to the free-throw line like lightning.
Facing Ibaka's attempt to block him, Su Hao's determined gaze revealed a hint of disdain, as if to say, "You can't stop me!" Then, he easily threw a mid-range shot.
The basketball flew over Ibaka's head like a shooting star, tracing a perfect arc in the air.
It fell straight into the basket.
That accurate shot amazed everyone present. Ibaka's defense seemed so weak and powerless at that moment, having no effect whatsoever on Su Hao's shot.
Watching the basketball slowly slide down the net, Ibaka's originally confident expression instantly turned dejected, as if he had been defeated by Su Hao's offense.
"Wow, the Thunder are really having all sorts of problems!"
Su Hao was like a bolt of lightning, unstoppable, his speed and power seemingly capable of breaking through all obstacles.
The situation from the last game is repeating itself, which is extremely unfavorable for them. In my opinion, it's going to be harder than climbing to heaven for them to win this time on the road! Miller said with a slight frown and a hint of worry in his eyes.
His words undoubtedly added to the already tense atmosphere of the competition.
"However, we can't give up hope so quickly!" Miller continued. "Look, the Thunder aren't that far behind, they still have a chance! The key is whether they can spot the Clippers' weaknesses."
Barkley then began to analyze seriously: "Hmm, you make a lot of sense. If the Thunder really want to beat the Clippers, they have to find their weaknesses and exploit them."
This is not something that can be done overnight; it takes time. You can't rush things.
After all, even if we see weaknesses in the Clippers' perimeter defense, consistently making those outside shots requires a considerable amount of skill and luck from the players.
At this moment, the spectators on the sidelines began to whisper among themselves, all speculating about the final outcome of this fierce duel.
Some spectators watched the court with anticipation, hoping to see the Thunder make a comeback.
Some viewers, however, felt that the Clippers were too strong and had a sure win.
The intense first quarter of the game between the two sides has already quietly passed by more than halfway.
Thanks to Su Hao's outstanding performance, the Clippers have left the Thunder far behind.
They are currently leading their opponents by 12 points.
At this moment, Curry stood on the outside, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and confidence, his hand firmly holding the ball.
Westbrook, on the other hand, was very vigilant and focused on guarding Curry, secretly vowing not to let Curry make such an easy three-pointer from the outside.
Westbrook clung to Curry like glue, never letting up and giving Curry no opening. Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, David Lee rushed forward and cleverly set a perfect screen for Curry.
Using this screen, Curry skillfully bypassed Westbrook's tight defense and finally found a precious shooting opportunity.
Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively fired a three-pointer.
"Bang!"
The basketball slammed heavily onto the backboard with a dull thud.
The players under the basket jumped almost simultaneously, their eyes gleaming with fervor, their minds focused on only one thing: to win this invaluable rebound.
However, despite Perkins and Ibaka giving it their all like desperate fighters, using every ounce of their strength,
But under Su Hao's steel-like tenacity defense, they ultimately failed to snatch the crucial rebound from his grasp.
Su Hao, who had just grabbed the rebound, instantly beamed with a triumphant smile. He dribbled the ball back to the frontcourt with lightning speed, a speed that was dazzling to behold.
Seeing Su Hao successfully dribble the ball across half-court, everyone's hearts were in their throats. They all knew what Su Hao was going to do next!
Without a doubt, he was going to continue to use that terrifying shooting skill!
As expected, even with Ibaka already in position to defend, Su Hao remained fearless and resolutely chose to attack head-on.
This was a perfectly executed three-pointer from the top of the arc.
In a split second, Su Hao made a decisive move, and the basketball shot towards the basket like a shooting star.
Just as Su Hao released his shot, Ibaka jumped up with all his might, his only thought being to try his best to disrupt Su Hao's shot, which seemed certain to go in.
He stretched out his arms, trying to block Su Hao's view of the shot as much as possible.
However, what was astonishing was that Su Hao's release arc was higher than anyone could have imagined.
The basketball traced a perfect arc in the air.
Ibaka's interference seemed to have no effect at this moment, failing to affect the trajectory of the basketball in the slightest.
As the basketball hurtled towards the basket, Ibaka's heart sank.
However, what happened next surprised and shocked everyone.
Su Hao's shot was perfect in terms of both release angle and arc.
But perhaps due to bad luck, or perhaps due to a slight mistake at that moment, the ball ultimately failed to hit the rim. It grazed the edge of the rim and flew out of bounds with a dull thud.
The audience fell silent for a moment, then a sigh of regret erupted, while Su Hao himself frowned slightly.
I wondered, is this lousy system really only capable of hitting targets at mid-range with a success rate of over 90%?
Does crossing the three-point line change everything?
Thinking of this, Su Hao glanced casually at the three-point line in front of him.
I should have taken that first step.
Su Hao cursed inwardly, "When will this damn system finally awaken its three-point shooting ability?!"
