408 Su Hao draws a foul!



408 Su Hao draws a foul!

After the timeout, both teams returned to the field to prepare for the continuation of the game.

Ibaka was in charge of inbounding the ball, and unsurprisingly, he passed it to Westbrook.

After receiving the ball, Westbrook stood at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, creating a one-on-one situation with Curry.

Looking at the somewhat inexperienced Curry in front of him, Westbrook felt a surge of confidence and decided to try shooting a three-pointer himself.

Completely disregarding the tactical arrangements just laid out by the head coach, Westbrook jumped over Curry without hesitation and launched a three-pointer.

The basketball arced through the air, flying over Curry and towards the basket.

The audience shook their heads and sighed, believing that the shot was definitely going to miss.

After all, based on everyone's understanding of Westbrook, his three-point shooting percentage has always been quite inconsistent.

Among the Thunder's Big Three, he is widely regarded as the least reliable outside shooter.

If it were Durant or Harden taking that shot, perhaps people would have some hope, but it was Westbrook, making it hard to believe he could make it.

However, something unexpected happened—the ball actually went into the basket!

Although there was a lot of luck involved in that shot, it still went in.

This undoubtedly adds a boost to the Thunder's confidence.

After sinking the three-pointer, Westbrook's expression became even more confident and excited, as if he were brimming with energy. His steps also became lighter, as if every step carried the aura of victory.

However, the Clippers did not slow down their pace because of the opponent's basket.

Curry quickly passed the ball to Su Hao in the paint, preparing to launch a new offensive.

After receiving the ball, Su Hao faced the Thunder's defender, faked out his opponent, and then quickly jumped up, preparing for a one-handed dunk.

Just then, Westbrook rushed over like lightning, leaped high, and stretched out his arms, trying to block Su Hao's dunk.

Seeing this, Su Hao adjusted his posture in mid-air, passed the ball under Westbrook's armpit, and then easily slammed it into the basket.

The referee blew his whistle, ruling that Su Hao's score was valid and that he had drawn a foul from Westbrook.

Cheers erupted from the Clippers' bench, while the Thunder looked somewhat dejected.

However, Westbrook was not discouraged. He shouted to his teammates, "Don't lose heart, we still have a chance!"

Barkley in the commentary booth exclaimed, "Westbrook is really daring on defense! He actually dared to block Su Hao's shot! That's really fierce!"

"Facing a player like Su Hao, Westbrook is too eager to prove himself. He should calm down and not act impulsively. After all, there's still time in the game. If Su Hao scores, just let him score; it's not worth risking a foul!" Miller said calmly.

The Thunder's home fans were also taken aback by Westbrook's actions.

Because when he stood next to Su Hao, the difference in their physiques was simply too obvious.

Trying to beat Su Hao is clearly a bit overestimating one's abilities.

After Su Hao finished his dunk, he didn't forget to smile at Westbrook as he landed.

Taking the basketball from the referee, Su Hao stood at the free-throw line and steadily put the ball into the basket.

Su Hao is quite confident in his free throw percentage.

As the game progressed, the game reached the final minute of the second quarter.

The Thunder launched an attack.

Westbrook passed the ball to Harden.

The latter dribbled the ball around the three-point line, looking for opportunities to shoot or pass.

Just as the shot clock was about to expire, he hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer against Gordon's tight defense.

The basketball bounced off the rim, and Su Hao successfully grabbed the rebound.

It was then passed on to Rasul Butler.

The Clippers quickly launched a counterattack, with Rasul Butler passing the ball to Curry.

Curry received the ball and sprinted away.

Westbrook saw this and immediately returned to defense, but it was too late.

Su Hao leaped high into the air, preparing for an aerial relay.

However, just as he was about to jump, Westbrook rushed in from behind, attempting to block the shot.

Unfortunately, Su Hao was a cut above the rest, easily bypassing Westbrook and dunking the ball into the basket.

The referee blew his whistle, ruling that Westbrook had committed a defensive foul.

Su Haojia took the penalty and scored easily.

At this moment, the audience erupted in uproar, and Westbrook shook his head helplessly.

He was trying his best to prove himself and block Su Hao's attack.

However, it turned out that he really couldn't stop Su Hao's attack.

This defensive lapse was fatal for the Thunder.

Because the second quarter is about to end.

There really isn't much time left for them.

Furthermore, Westbrook has already picked up his third personal foul.

This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the Clippers, whose situation was already not very optimistic.

"Su Hao, can't you go easy on us? If you keep hitting us like this, we're really done for!" Westbrook said to Su Hao in a low voice, looking aggrieved.

Upon hearing this, Su Hao was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said, "You can't blame me for this. When playing basketball, you have to be able to accept defeat. We were just playing normally! You could have kept shooting three-pointers; maybe you'd have made them!"

When Su Hao told him to keep shooting three-pointers, Westbrook was speechless.

After making one three-pointer in this quarter, he tried three more times, but all of them missed.

His actions also caused the Thunder to waste many scoring opportunities.

Throughout the second quarter, Harden and Westbrook essentially controlled the ball for the Thunder.

Despite having possession of the ball, the two players had the lowest shooting percentage on the team in this quarter.

This also greatly hampered the Thunder's performance.

In contrast, the Clippers strictly adhered to their strategy of driving the ball into the paint.

Every offensive play required the ball to pass through Su Hao's hands.

Even if Su Hao doesn't actively shoot under the basket, he will look for opportunities to help his teammates score.

Under Su Hao's leadership, the Clippers' entire team committed fewer turnovers than Westbrook alone.

The score gap continued to widen.

There were 30 seconds left in the second quarter.

The Thunder launched an attack.

This time, Harden took the initiative to pass the ball to Durant.

However, to everyone's surprise, Su Hao actually managed to defend the outside.

David Lee suddenly became Su Hao in front of Durant, forcing Durant, who originally wanted to go one-on-one, to change tactics.

With three seconds left on the shot clock, he passed the ball to Westbrook, who was sideways.

It seems he is still very wary of Su Hao's defense, even choosing to pass the ball to Westbrook, whose outside shooting percentage is extremely inconsistent, rather than facing Su Hao's defense directly.
