Chapter 267 Too low-class! Crush the stone Buddha!
The Spurs' relentless physical battles with their interior players, relentlessly wearing him down, still managed to put some pressure on him.
The teams have a good idea.
Stockpiling inside players is the best way to defend Su Hao.
Moreover... you must be patient and not think that you can suppress Su Hao in one or two rounds.
That's not realistic.
Only through constant confrontation and slowly wearing down Su Hao with time and manpower can we possibly restrain him.
In Game 1 of the series, the Thunder played the same way, except... their interior defense was too weak, and their three young guards were not mature enough.
The strategy is correct, but there's no way to implement it.
The Spurs have Duncan, McDyess with equally amazing talent, and more rigorous and mature teamwork.
Through their relentless pursuit, they gradually gained the upper hand in putting pressure on Su Hao.
of course.
If Su Hao's teammates are strong enough, the Spurs will definitely lose if they defend like this.
The Clippers are currently full of young players, and apart from Su Hao, the other players cannot contribute much firepower in the playoffs.
Give him the ball and let him attack.
The Clippers don't have that ability on corner kicks.
Even Curry, as a rookie, lacked strong ball-handling and offensive skills, as well as the ability to forcefully shoot three-pointers.
Not stable enough.
The Spurs' defense gradually became effective, and they slowly closed the gap.
Fortunately... Su Hao remained calm enough. He believed that his unparalleled physical talent would allow him to continue contributing to the team.
In every aspect.
"Snapped!"
He first grabbed the offensive rebound from the crowd.
After being surrounded and attacked again, he went to find Curry, shifted to Gordon on the other side, and raised his hand to make another decisive three-pointer.
"Bang!"
Still no luck.
But... Su Hao will definitely put your mind at ease with his rebounding. He leaps up once again, his long arms seemingly able to reach for the stars.
Offensive rebound, secured again.
Su Hao looked towards the outside again, intending to find Curry.
"Pass the ball again!!!"
McDyess yelled.
Parker immediately rushed towards Curry on the perimeter, preventing Curry from having an immediate offensive opportunity even if he received the ball again.
"It's now!"
Su Hao narrowed his eyes, and after the Spurs players had diverted some of their attention to the perimeter, he suddenly took the ball and drove hard, catching everyone off guard.
Put the basket in.
The next round.
Richard Jefferson and McDyess went crazy again, not letting Su Hao stay in the restricted area and blocking his position tightly.
Don't let him be comfortable with the frame.
Duncan secured the rebound, passed it to Parker for the drive, and then the ball was handed back to Duncan at the top of the key for him to deal the cards.
The team members had coordinated positioning.
While keeping Su Hao occupied, Duncan looked for opportunities to pass the ball to his teammates to attack.
This strategy is quite good.
After all... as long as Su Hao is excluded, the Spurs can easily dominate the rest of the Clippers players without any fear.
Su Hao wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die.
He closed in, his strong physique putting pressure on Duncan and preventing him from easily passing the ball, then slowly looking for an opening.
As Duncan held the basketball high, intending to pass it.
Su Hao lunged forward, stretching out his longer arms and grabbing the basketball from Duncan's hands.
The two stood face to face, both with their hands raised, vying for a basketball.
The ball was originally in Duncan's hands, but... Su Hao was incredibly domineering and forcefully snatched the basketball away, then made a pass.
Rasul was the first to rush out.
Getting the ball means going one-on-one against the basket.
"boom!"
A powerful dunk sealed the victory.
The gap continued to widen.
During the ball possession transition, Duncan posted up David Lee, and after a series of contact, he turned and hit his signature 45-degree bank shot.
David Lee had no choice.
"Bang!"
But Duncan missed that shot.
But... he knew he was going to miss as soon as he took the shot, and immediately rushed to the basket before David Lee could react.
They threw themselves in and grabbed what they wanted.
Protect the offensive rebound, jump again, and score a putback layup off the backboard.
David Lee wanted to catch up, but it was too late.
Is it all settled?!
On the other side, Su Hao, in an off-ball confrontation, pushed past McDyess and Richard Jefferson and came over.
"boom!"
A devastating block, delivered to Duncan.
"Wow~"
The stadium erupted in gasps of surprise once again.
"Tsk tsk..."
In the commentary box.
Mike Breen clicked his tongue and said, "On the offensive end, Su Hao casually slammed the ball over Duncan's head, eating him without any reason."
On the defensive end.
Su Hao once again stole the basketball over Duncan's head and delivered a huge block, causing Duncan to become inefficient and almost invisible.
Let "D" be removed from "GDP".
In both offense and defense, Su Hao crushed "The Stone Buddha," crushing Duncan, who won three Finals MVPs, made the All-Defensive First Team for many years, and was one of the league's top power forwards!
This is still in the playoffs.
"Su Hao, the 'prehistoric crocodile,' is truly too real and too ferocious."
"Yes."
Mark Jackson nodded repeatedly, "The Spurs' interior players relentlessly battled with Su Hao, putting some pressure on him."
but.
They were still lacking, still not up to par. Su Hao, like a prehistoric crocodile, could still tear everything apart.
Attack aggressively and overpower.
The defense was suffocating.
Su Hao's dominance in the penalty area is unstoppable, and he brings a very positive impact to the team on both offense and defense.
Forcefully revitalize the team.
He single-handedly made "GDP" lose its "D", leaving the entire Spurs team helpless and waiting for their demise!
Nothing.
The Spurs don't seem to have a way to deal with Su Hao either!
The two commentators were filled with emotion.
On the field.
The composed Su Hao put immense pressure on the Spurs in every offensive and defensive play.
The previously narrowing point difference has stabilized.
The Spurs couldn't catch up. With 3 minutes left in the final quarter, the score was still 11 points behind, and the Spurs still had a sliver of hope for a comeback.
Curry has finally blossomed.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
He threw himself a super long throw.
He received a pass from Su Hao and then hit another long three-pointer.
They scored 6 consecutive points, instantly extending the lead to 17 points, sealing the game and leaving the Spurs with no chance to recover, forcing them to surrender!
The Clippers ultimately defeated the Spurs by 12 points, winning the first game of the conference semifinals.
"COMEON!"
Mark Jackson looked jubilant as he exclaimed, “The ‘Prehistoric Crocodile’ Su Hao, indiscriminately tearing everything apart, single-handedly crushing the ‘GDP’, powerfully helping the Clippers to victory.”
One person can withstand an army of thousands.
With Su Hao around, victory is guaranteed.
This feeling is similar to LeBron James's powerful ability to lead his team to victory, except... Su Hao, the "Prehistoric Crocodile," is even stronger!
"Yes."
Mike Breen nodded emphatically, "Tonight, Su Hao faces tight defense and a frantic combined attack from the Spurs' big men."
His attack wasn't very good.
His offensive contributions may only account for 50% of the team's winning contributions, but... he also contributes 50% on the defensive end.
Frame protection + cover.
He also made the strongest "D" in "GDP" invisible!
Su Hao contributed too much defensive effort tonight. You can't shut him down on offense, and he can still contribute endless energy on the defensive end.
This "Hulk" is outrageously powerful.
Also... I want to mention something really interesting!!!
