533 helps Curry out of his predicament!
Millsap passed the ball to Deron.
The latter dribbled the ball back to the top of the penalty arc.
Facing Gordon's one-on-one defense, Deron confidently made a jump shot.
The basketball flew over Gordon's head and slammed heavily onto the backboard.
Unsurprisingly, Su Hao successfully secured the rebound.
After receiving the ball, Su Hao quickly assessed the situation on the court. Seeing his teammates making rapid runs, he didn't hesitate to send a long pass. The ball flew like a cannonball into Curry's hands in the corner.
Curry received the ball and immediately jumped to shoot. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and swished through the net!
The audience cheered and encouraged the away team.
This shot plunged the Jazz into despair once again.
Su Hao alone was already giving them a headache, and now Curry's three-point shooting is also showing signs of exploding.
This is not a good sign.
Su Hao's pass was truly impressive, traversing the entire court to deliver the ball to Curry. Fortunately, Curry didn't let the pass go to waste, otherwise Su Hao would definitely have teased him.
After scoring, Curry waved repeatedly to Su Hao as he returned to defense to express his gratitude.
Even with the Clippers' offense flowing so smoothly, the Jazz didn't call a timeout to relieve the pressure.
Deron Williams still had the ball on the perimeter, facing defense from Gordon.
This time, he didn't choose to shoot directly from the outside.
Instead, he chose to pass the ball to Millsap.
Because in this round, Millsap was matched up against Curry.
It's unclear when Curry switched onto Millsap's defensive position while switching with his teammates.
This gave the opponent an opportunity to exploit the misalignment.
Deron made a precise pass to Millsap.
Curry stretched out his arm, trying to disrupt the shot.
However, due to my height, I really can't reach it!
Just as Millsap threw the ball, a large hand mercilessly swatted it out of bounds.
This person was none other than Su Hao, who had just arrived to provide support.
When Su Hao saw Curry guarding Millsap one-on-one, he knew that the opponent would definitely target him.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to provide help defense just as Millsap made his shot.
And even more so, deliver a merciless and powerful blow to the opponent.
Watching the basketball fly over his head.
Curry turned around in shock and saw that standing behind him was none other than Su Hao.
"You came just in time! If you had been any later, he would have eaten me out of the game!" Curry complained to Su Hao with a wronged expression.
"Haha! Now you can feel the frustration of those players I beat one-on-one!" Su Hao joked.
For Su Hao, playing against younger opponents is something he does in almost every game.
Millsap knows this all too well.
Upon hearing this, Millsap awkwardly turned around and began serving.
The basketball was knocked out of bounds by Su Hao.
Possession of the ball remained with the Jazz.
The Jazz had only 3 seconds left to attack.
Millsap passes the ball to Deron.
The latter caught the ball and shot immediately without hesitation.
The basketball flew over Gordon's head and headed towards the basket.
However, the rim looked as if it had been capped.
The basketball failed to hit the basket.
Su Hao successfully secured the rebound.
There was only half a minute left in the second quarter.
After securing the rebound, Su Hao dribbled with one hand and quickly advanced the ball.
The sight of a big center dribbling the ball up the court with his big hands is really hilarious.
However, Su Hao's dribbling speed is in no way inferior to those of point guards.
Su Hao charged toward the opponent's basket like a speeding tank.
Seeing this, the Jazz players rushed forward to stop him, but Su Hao easily broke through the defense with his physical advantages and agile footwork.
Just then, Su Hao suddenly jumped up, and the basketball in his hand flew towards the basket like a cannonball.
Surprisingly, the basketball bounced off the rim but did not go in.
However, Su Hao quickly grabbed the rebound and jumped to shoot again.
This time, the basketball landed steadily in the hoop, and the entire audience cheered.
"Beep!"
As the referee's whistle blew.
The sudden whistle left everyone present completely bewildered.
"What's wrong?" Barkley asked suspiciously.
Just then, the referee indicated that Brewer had pulled Su Hao from behind when Su Hao took the shot.
Therefore, a defensive foul was called.
Su Hao takes the free throw.
This time, Su Hao not only got the offensive rebound and scored on the second-chance opportunity, but also got an extra free throw.
Stepping onto the free-throw line.
He took the basketball from the referee.
Su Hao took a deep breath, calmed himself, and prepared to take the free throw.
He dribbled the ball and glanced at the basket.
As Su Hao released the ball, it drew a beautiful arc in the air and swished through the net.
The audience on the sidelines erupted in cheers, applauding and applauding Su Hao's outstanding performance.
"Why are all these fouls from the Jazz so ineffective? Aren't they just giving Su Hao points? I told you to foul him and bring him down with the ball, don't be so gentle!" Yang Yi said.
"That kind of foul is really stupid. If you want to stop a player like Su Hao from attacking the basket, you have to grab him and the ball, but whether you can grab him or not depends on your strength!" Su Qun said with a smile.
"I wonder if any Jazz player can hold onto Su Hao while he's moving. Look at all those muscles on his body, he's incredibly strong! I definitely couldn't hold onto him!" Coach Zhang chimed in.
At this point, only five seconds remained in the second quarter.
The Jazz still have one last chance to score.
Head coach Sloan did not choose to call a timeout.
The final five seconds are up to the players to decide.
Deron receives the ball at the top of the key.
He was surrounded by Gordon and Rasul Butler.
I wanted to pass the ball to my teammates, but none of them had a suitable space to receive it.
The attack time was about to run out.
A hasty action was taken.
As a result, the basketball was slapped away again in mid-air.
I thought the second quarter was over.
However, the referee reset the timer.
It took 1 second to reply.
The Jazz still had possession of the ball.
One second is all it takes, meaning you catch the ball and shoot immediately.
There was absolutely no time for hesitation or consideration.
Not even dribbling the ball once is allowed.
Millsap serves from the outside.
After observing for a while, he chose to pass the ball directly to the basket.
This is going to test O'Connor's abilities!
The basketball, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, is about to reach the top of the hoop.
O'Connor immediately chose to jump, little did he know that his jump was simply asking for trouble.
Just when he thought he was about to touch the basketball.
It was just a light leap.
Su Hao slammed the basketball out of bounds from above the backboard.
"Beep!"
The second quarter ended.
