678 Open, 3 misses!
Paul George quickly caught the basketball passed to him by Su Hao, facing an empty court.
Without hesitation, he leaped high into the air, raised the ball high with one hand, and slammed it into the basket!
The ball went in with a clang.
It instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.
After completing the dunk, Paul George smiled, turned around and ran towards Su Hao, giving him a grateful look.
Su Hao, on the other hand, appeared very calm and composed, simply waving his hand lightly, as if to tell Paul George.
"Don't take it to heart. What's a little bit of understanding between us?"
In the opening minutes of the second quarter, the Raptors' offense encountered unprecedented difficulties.
Whether it was the meticulously planned tactical coordination in positional warfare or the players' valiant sprints during fast counter-attacks, they were unable to break through the opponent's tight defense and failed to score a single point.
The Raptors' head coach on the sidelines was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Clearly, his anxiety had reached its peak.
Perhaps he was worried that the team would lose by too many points in this game, or perhaps he was afraid of losing his job as head coach due to a series of defeats.
It's worth noting that not long ago, other teams had already seen their head coaches fired after losing to the Clippers.
Now, he can only silently pray that Su Hao doesn't suddenly erupt and go all out.
If Su Hao decides to control the game's tempo and score wildly on his own, the Raptors will likely suffer the same tragic fate as their previous opponents.
However, judging from the current situation on the field, Su Hao has not yet shown a strong desire to take over the game.
The Raptors reorganized their offense.
Johnson then passed the ball to Lowry.
After receiving the ball, Lowry quickly dribbled to midfield, his eyes fixed on the positions of his opponents and teammates.
Just as he approached the three-point line, Lowry used a clever fake to shake off the defender and then accurately passed the ball to DeRozan.
DeRozan received the ball and didn't hesitate at all. He quickly advanced while observing the situation on the field.
When he spotted Davis open in the paint, he decisively lobbed the ball high, sending it flying straight towards Davis's position.
However, despite Davis running back and forth in the paint several times, he was unable to reach the ball.
His anger gradually rose.
Finally, when his teammate passed the ball to him again, Davis knew he couldn't miss this offensive opportunity.
Davis did not back down in the face of Aldridge's tough defense.
He adjusted his posture, preparing to use his signature hook shot technique to try and put the ball into the basket.
However, just as he was about to make his move, he caught a glimpse of Su Hao rushing over from not far away, seemingly intending to block the shot. At that moment, Davis was caught in a dilemma.
If they force their way in, they'll likely be defeated by Su Hao.
But if we don't make a move, the attack time will run out.
"Davis, what are you thinking! Make your move!"
Lowry's anxious shouts came from the sidelines.
It turned out that there was very little time left for the attack.
Hearing his teammates urging him on, Davis suddenly snapped out of his daze, no longer hesitating, and threw the ball toward the basket with all his might.
The basketball traced an arc in the air, first hitting the backboard, then circling the edge of the rim several times before finally failing to fall into the basket.
Aldridge quickly secured a favorable position thanks to his excellent positioning awareness.
With a light jump, he successfully deflected the falling basketball into the hands of his teammate Gordon.
Gordon reacted quickly, catching the basketball Aldridge flicked out. Without hesitation, he turned and immediately passed the ball to Su Hao, who had been waiting on the wing.
Su Hao, holding a basketball, sprinted towards the opponent's basket.
His rapid speed was a sight to behold.
However, right behind Su Hao were two players from the Raptors.
They tried to stop Su Hao's attack.
But Su Hao's power was a monster that possessed the same strength as Su Hao, so they had no way to stop him.
In the blink of an eye, Su Hao suddenly leaped into the air, preparing to complete a spectacular dunk.
Meanwhile, the two defenders who were closely following behind had to stop chasing after them when they saw this.
Because they knew that if they continued to chase and defend at this moment, they would inevitably commit a foul.
Even if he fouls, it probably won't stop Su Hao from slamming the ball into the basket.
They are unwilling to do something that is not worth the effort.
As Su Hao successfully dunked, a thunderous cheer erupted on the basketball court.
After landing steadily, Su Hao turned around and teased with a smile, "What's wrong? Aren't you guys going to serve already?"
Upon hearing this, Raptors player Johnson, who was standing in front of Su Hao, quickly bent down to pick up the basketball that had rolled to the ground and passed it to his teammate Lowry, who was not far away.
Meanwhile, Su Hao had already retreated to his own backfield, ready for battle.
After receiving the ball, Lowry noticed that Su Hao wasn't marking him closely like before.
Su Hao is currently defending inside, while Lowry is trying to shoot from the outside.
"Hey, are you planning to hit a super long three-pointer?" Su Hao shouted loudly at Lowry.
"That's right, I'm going to shoot from the outside! How about you guard me?" Lowry replied defiantly.
Upon hearing this, Su Hao smiled slightly and said, "Alright, if you're so capable, then go ahead and vote! I want to see if you can get in."
After saying that, he crossed his arms and stared at Lowry with great interest, seemingly not worried at all that he could make the shot.
Lowry stared intently at the basket, took a deep breath, and then leaped into the air, the basketball flying through his hands.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the basketball flying at high speed.
The basketball traced an arc in the air, but instead of flying towards the basket, it went straight over the baseline.
A murmur of surprise and astonishment rippled through the audience.
What... what on earth happened? Lowry actually airballed a shot when no one was guarding him! It's absolutely unbelievable!
Barkley couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, what on earth is Lowry up to? Su Hao didn't even go up to defend, and he just missed the shot so easily. This is not the performance of a star player!"
Miller, who was standing nearby, retorted, "Hey, don't be so quick to laugh at others. Even if you were in that position, you couldn't guarantee that you could make the shot into the basket!"
Let's give it one more shot!
