Rasul Butler steps up to the free-throw line.
"Su Hao, why didn't you do it yourself just now! I made room for you!" Buzer whispered beside Su Hao.
"You're such a considerate guy! You even gave me your spot! But I'm not going to shoot!"
Su Hao's words left Buzer speechless.
After Rasul made the free throw, the Bulls quickly inbounded the ball.
Luol Deng dribbled the ball up the court and faced Curry's defense, intending to take a one-on-one shot.
As a result, he was unable to shake off Curry's defense.
Left with no other option, he ultimately passed the ball to Rose.
After receiving the ball, Rose moved quickly with it.
He reached the free-throw line and, facing Gordon's defense, took a mid-range jump shot.
The ball goes in.
"Rose's shooting touch is just too good today. Gordon was completely on defense for that shot, but he still managed to make it! It's really impressive!" Yang Yi exclaimed.
"The Bulls' offense is now entirely carried by Rose! I just don't know how long he can maintain this touch, but with his playing style, he can't be on the court for the whole game!" Su Qun said worriedly.
Rose definitely can't play the full game; his relentless playing style takes a huge toll on his physical energy.
Moreover, the Clippers have a giant like Su Hao protecting their interior.
Every attack on the basket greatly depletes his physical strength.
"When Rose leaves the court, that's when the Bulls will completely collapse! But he definitely won't be out for the second quarter!" Coach Zhang said confidently.
Let's fight again in a different location.
The ball came into Curry's hands.
Facing Bogans's oncoming defense, Curry used a series of crossovers to slip into the baseline.
"Stop him!" Thibodeau shouted anxiously from the sidelines.
Noah stood on the baseline with his hands raised high, trying to stop Curry from finishing the attack under the basket.
However, Curry had no space to shoot under the basket.
Actually, he didn't intend to score under the basket himself; his real goal was to pass the ball to Su Hao.
Su Hao took the basketball from Curry's hands under the basket.
Boozer watched as Su Hao raised the ball high, preparing to dunk, and jumped up as well.
The two collided in mid-air, and Boozer was mercilessly dunked by Su Hao.
After landing, Boozer held his head in his hands, looking completely bewildered and regretful for his actions.
"Stop standing there, serve the ball!" Rose yelled at Boozer.
Su Hao's dunk just now really excited the fans in the arena.
When Su Hao wasn't actively attacking, the game became less exciting for a while.
Following Su Hao's successful dunk over Curry, the crowd erupted in cheers.
"Well done, Curry! You deserve half the credit for this play!" Su Hao said with a smile as he returned to defense.
"Hey! You were passing me the ball and letting me shoot threes the whole time! I'm just repaying you!" Curry said awkwardly.
Boozer throws the ball in from the baseline, and it comes to Rose's hands.
At this moment, Boozer was still annoyed by his reckless defensive actions.
Knowing that he couldn't stop Su Hao's drives to the basket, why bother going head-to-head with him!
It really felt like I was asking for trouble, but thankfully I didn't commit any fouls.
Rose brought the ball to the frontcourt and, taking advantage of the moment before the defenders could get into position, quickly advanced the ball to a position two meters from the basket.
He wanted to take a mid-range shot during the time it took for Su Hao to get into position to help defend.
The ball goes in.
Rose has once again proven his ability.
The Bulls are only keeping the team alive thanks to Rose's offense.
David Lee quickly served the ball from the baseline.
The ball was passed directly to Su Hao, who had quickly positioned himself under the opponent's basket.
At this moment, Bulls players such as Noah and Boozer have not yet positioned themselves under the basket.
They watched helplessly as Su Hao caught the still-flying basketball with one hand in mid-air.
He completed a powerful dunk during his descent.
The Clippers' offensive play spanned almost the entire court.
Su Hao was able to catch the ball in mid-air, and with one hand at that.
Everything seemed so easy.
"How did he do that? Catching the ball with one hand from such a distance and dunking in mid-air! He's a scoring machine!" Barkley was so shocked that he stood up abruptly, staring intently at the scene that had just unfolded on the court.
"I couldn't do that. Even if I caught it, it would be difficult to dunk it in the first place. It's just that Su Hao's physical abilities are terrifying. He truly deserves the nickname 'The Hulk'!" Miller laughed.
Su Hao's attack dealt another heavy blow to the confidence of the Bulls' players and head coach.
"We're doomed! The Bulls have absolutely no way to deal with Su Hao! They're practically breaking their rims with his dunks! I have no idea where his limits are!"
"This is the power of a superstar! He's only played one season and he already has this level of skill. It seems like he's the MVP of this season!"
"He's more than just MVP! He should be the best defensive player too!"
"More than that! I think he should be the scoring champion, and he deserves the blocking champion too!"
The fans on the sidelines were all stunned by Su Hao's performance.
So far this season, Su Hao has firmly held the first place on the scoring list.
He leads Durant, who is in second place, by more than 20 points.
This data shocked everyone.
Su Hao has already scored 35 points in today's game.
He almost single-handedly defeated the Bulls.
Seeing Su Hao mercilessly slamming the basket again, Thibodeau decisively called another timeout.
The Bulls players, back on the sidelines, all looked dejected; they knew they were destined to lose tonight.
They really tried their best, but they just couldn't do anything about Su Hao!
They couldn't score on offense, and they couldn't stop the opponent on defense either.
When Su Hao was on the court, the interior defense was practically non-existent.
Boozer has already accumulated three fouls despite being very careful.
Thibodeau, holding the tactics board, continued to plan the next tactics.
After outlining the tactics, he didn't forget to cheer on the players.
"I know we are facing a great predicament right now, but there is still a long time before the end of the game, and we still have a chance! To win the game, we must have the spirit of never giving up! Come on, everyone!" Thibodeau clenched his fists and his eyes swept over each player.
Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy remained relaxed, showing no intention of devising any tactics.
After all, under Su Hao's leadership, they have now regained a 15-point lead.
