396 Su Hao has springs in his legs?!
Players from both the Bulls and the Clippers jumped up to fight for the rebound, making for an extremely intense scene.
In the chaos, Boozer was lucky enough to grab the offensive rebound.
He jumps, preparing to put the ball in.
Just then, Su Hao appeared like a ghost. He rushed out from the side, stretched out his long arm, and slapped the ball out of Boozer's hand.
The ball went out of bounds, and the Bulls lost a valuable second chance.
The referee blew the whistle, ending the second quarter.
The Clippers players embraced each other excitedly as they entered the second half with a double-digit lead.
The Bulls players looked somewhat frustrated, especially Rose, who shook his head, disappointed with his performance.
As soon as they returned to the locker room, the Clippers players excitedly gathered around them, their eyes filled with joy and excitement.
However, Su Hao appeared unusually calm, as if he was used to such a situation.
"Alright, everyone spread out a bit so the team doctor can check on Su Hao's condition!" the head coach shouted.
This was not only to confirm whether Su Hao was injured after colliding with Noah, but also out of concern for the team's core player.
After all, the health of any player is key to the team's success.
Hearing the coach's call, the players scattered, but still watched Su Hao with concerned eyes.
Gordon stepped forward, smiled, and said to the head coach, "Coach, you don't need to worry too much. With Su Hao's physical condition and his excellent performance on the field just now, it's impossible for him to get injured."
However, the head coach did not let his guard down because of Gordon's words, and he insisted that the team doctor conduct a full examination of Su Hao.
The team doctor began to carefully inquire about Su Hao's physical condition and pressed on his leg joints and other areas one by one to ask if he was in pain.
Su Hao remained calm throughout and answered each question truthfully: "It doesn't hurt."
As one negative answer after another appeared, the team doctor gradually felt relieved.
Finally, after a series of thorough examinations, the team doctor concluded that Su Hao was not injured.
The news brought a sigh of relief to the entire locker room, and everyone wore relieved smiles.
“I told you so! How could Su Hao possibly get injured! It’s just that Noah, he brought this on himself, and now he’s injured!” Gordon’s words were agreed upon by his teammates, who all nodded in agreement.
"I'm really not injured. Look at me, do I look like I'm hurt?" Su Hao got up and jumped around a few times to show that he was fine! The head coach and teammates were relieved to see this.
After all, Su Hao was a crucial part of their victory.
If he were to be injured due to dirty tricks by his opponents, it would be a devastating blow to the team.
Not only is winning the championship uncertain, but even making the playoffs is a question.
Fortunately, Su Hao was not injured in the conflict; it was truly a close call.
At halftime, the Clippers held a large lead over their opponents.
However, the situation for the Bulls is far from optimistic.
Not only were they trailing in the score, but Noah, an important substitute player on the team, also injured himself due to his foolish behavior.
Although Noah's injury is not serious, he still needs to rest and may miss the next few games.
This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the Bulls.
Furthermore, Noah's malicious foul has also put him in the eye of a media storm.
Many fans and media outlets condemned his behavior and believed he should be punished more severely.
However, the Bulls' coaching staff and management did not take any disciplinary action against Noah.
They hope to resolve this issue as soon as possible and help the team out of its predicament.
Halftime has ended. Both teams' players have returned to the field, ready to begin the second half.
Despite the Bulls' current large lead, they have not given up on the game and are still fielding their key players.
The Clippers were no exception; they wanted to end the game as soon as possible, so they also fielded their key players, including Su Hao.
It seems the outcome of this match will be decided in the second half.
After the game started, Rose received a pass from his teammate and made a mid-range shot near the free-throw line.
This action shows that the Bulls are still focusing their attention on Rose.
However, it seems difficult for Rose to defeat the Clippers on his own.
Immediately afterwards, David Lee quickly passed the ball to Curry.
Curry brought the ball up the court and stood outside the three-point line, not looking like he was in a hurry to attack.
He dribbled with one hand, occasionally glancing at the inside of the court.
Meanwhile, Su Hao had already secured a favorable position in the paint.
In order to prevent Su Hao from receiving the ball, Boozer chose to front him for defense.
He tried to block Su Hao with his body to prevent Su Hao from easily receiving the pass from his teammate.
However, he underestimated Su Hao's strength and skills.
With only five seconds left on the shot clock, Curry still decided to pass the ball to Su Hao in the paint.
It was a high lob shot, and the basketball landed precisely on the top edge of the rim.
Boozer and Su Hao leaped into the air almost simultaneously, both eager to grab the rebound.
However, Curry cleverly raised the arc of this pass, making it impossible for Boozer to touch the basketball with his fingertips even with all his might in the air.
In contrast, Su Hao appeared relaxed and at ease. He caught the basketball with one hand and then slammed it into the basket as it fell.
This dunk filled Boozer with a profound sense of despair.
"Do you have springs in your legs?! You can jump so much higher than me! Are you even human?!" Buzel exclaimed in surprise.
"Haha! Do you think I have springs installed in my legs?" Su Hao laughed and patted his calves.
This offensive play under the basket once again demonstrated Su Hao's terrifying jumping ability.
After a brief pause, Boozer passed the ball to Bogans.
After bringing the ball up the court, the latter passed it to Rose.
Despite Gordon's tight defense, Rose still tried to use his speed and skills to get past the defender.
However, Gordon stuck to Rose like a leech.
Unexpectedly, with only two seconds left on the shot clock, Rose faked a shot and drew a foul from Gordon.
Gordon's defense was too close, giving Rose the opportunity to draw a foul.
Although the foul wasn't particularly obvious, this was, after all, the Bulls' home court.
There is definitely a home-field advantage, the so-called home-field advantage.
Rose was out of options; he couldn't penetrate the paint.
Having such a good defensive player on the perimeter, sticking to you like a leech, is really uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Rose was alert and drew a defensive foul from Gordon just as the shot clock was about to expire.
