At the start of the game, the Heat found themselves in a very unfavorable situation. The entire team seemed to have lost its sense of direction and became extremely chaotic.
In stark contrast, under Su Hao's leadership, the Clippers' offense was running smoothly.
"We can't let the Clippers lead us by the nose like this!" Wade looked anxiously at LeBron James, who had the ball.
At this point, the Heat had indeed completely lost control of the game.
Their attack was completely disorganized and they were unable to mount an effective offensive.
Su Hao's strong presence in the paint left the Heat helpless, and for a time, they couldn't find a way to break through the opponent's defense.
Just then, Wade quickly passed the ball to LeBron James.
Upon receiving the ball, LeBron James reacted immediately, using a beautiful back-turn move to get past Rasoul Butler's defense.
Then, without hesitation, he rushed straight to the basket, trying to avoid Su Hao who was blocking his way.
"Look, LeBron James is about to challenge Su Hao's defense in the paint!" commentator Barkley exclaimed excitedly.
However, Su Hao did not give him an easy chance to score.
Su Hao spread his arms wide, blocking LeBron James's path like a high wall.
Looking at the man with the incredibly long arms in front of him, LeBron James suddenly realized that he couldn't find any space to continue his breakthrough.
Upon seeing this, James immediately jumped, preparing to take a fadeaway jump shot.
But Su Hao reacted even faster. He jumped up quickly, stretched out his arm, and slammed it down hard on the basketball.
With a crisp "smack," the basketball was successfully intercepted by Su Hao.
Upon landing, Su Hao seized the rebound and then passed the ball out with lightning speed.
The other Clippers players had already made coordinated runs and quickly launched a counterattack after receiving the ball.
In the blink of an eye, the ball fell into Curry's hands, who was in an open position, and he easily scored a layup.
The Heat's morale was severely damaged, while the Clippers took the opportunity to further extend their lead.
The tide of the game seems to have completely turned in the Clippers' favor.
Su Hao's defensive area is very large.
He not only plays aggressive defense in the paint, but he can also quickly move to the vicinity of the free-throw line to form an effective defensive barrier.
Even the formidable LeBron James found it difficult to break through Su Hao's defense.
The Miami Heat's newly formed Big Three were expected to perform well in the opening game, but they never expected to face such a strong opponent as the Los Angeles Clippers in their debut.
This game was undoubtedly a huge challenge for the Heat, putting immense pressure on the team.
Wade once again took possession of the ball and orchestrated the attack.
This time, he didn't choose to pass the ball, but instead dribbled it to the frontcourt himself.
After observing his teammates' positioning, he realized that they didn't have good opportunities to receive the ball, and LeBron James didn't seem to be planning to receive it either.
After a brief moment of thought, Wade decided to take on the offensive task alone.
When Wade arrived at the frontcourt, he saw Gordon standing in front of him with his arms outstretched, trying to disrupt his offense.
However, Wade is known as "The Flash," possessing exceptional skill and speed.
Wade skillfully used his elusive footwork to easily evade Gordon's defense and successfully reach the free-throw line.
Just then, Wade suddenly stopped, preparing to launch the next attack.
Gordon quickly returned to position and once again formed a one-on-one defense against Wade.
Wade faked a jump shot, but it was actually a feint.
Upon seeing this, Su Hao immediately pounced on him. Just then, Wade quickly passed the ball under Su Hao's armpit, then darted to the basket.
What? Wade actually managed to drive to the basket?
And it went right under Su Hao's armpit? Looks like he's really cunning!
Su Hao was also slightly taken aback, not expecting Wade to dart past him from under his outstretched arms.
Just as he was about to score a layup, David Lee burst out from the wing, attempting to block Wade's shot.
But Wade was undeterred. He pulled up in mid-air, dodging David Lee's block, and steadily put the ball into the basket.
This shot drew cheers from the entire arena, and Wade excitedly pumped his fist.
He was clearly very satisfied with his attack.
In particular, the ability to break through Su Hao's defense greatly boosted the Heat players' offensive confidence.
As the Heat's star player, this is precisely the time when the team needs him to step up.
This shot was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Heat.
"Wade's shot was great! He managed to get past Su Hao's defense and score, that's really rare!" Miller said with a smile from the bench.
"It wasn't that Su Hao's defense was bad; it's just that Su Hao probably let him get past him! Otherwise, with Su Hao's defensive ability, Wade wouldn't have been able to break through at all!" Barkley said calmly.
Indeed, Su Hao clearly raised his arm when defending Wade's drive.
It must have been done intentionally or unintentionally.
As Wade, who had just scored, slid back to defend, he leaned close to Su Hao and whispered, "How was my shot just now?"
Upon hearing this, Su Hao said, "That shot of yours did look pretty good. I hope you can keep it up!"
As he spoke, Su Hao had already reached the opponent's basket.
Rasul Butler, holding the ball on the perimeter, occasionally glanced down at the inside.
Haslem tried to physically overpower Su Hao in the paint.
Because Su Hao had a clear advantage in height and weight, Haslem had no way to contain him.
Moreover, the Heat's interior strength is now weaker compared to the Celtics' interior strength in the previous game.
Comparing the two teams, it is obvious that the Heat's interior defense is completely weaker than the Celtics'.
This further illustrates that the Heat's interior defense is simply not up to par with Su Hao.
Su Hao waved to Rasul Butler from inside the paint, signaling that he would throw the ball towards the basket.
Without hesitation, the former threw the basketball directly above the basket.
As the basketball flew over his head, LeBron James made a token attempt to intercept it.
The ball was thrown too high and failed to touch it.
Just as the basketball was about to reach the top of the rim, Haslem and Su Hao jumped at the same time.
The former tried to intercept the basketball, while Su Hao wanted to catch it and score.
Haslem tried his best but failed to touch the basketball.
Su Hao, standing behind him, easily leaped and took control of the still-moving basketball in his left hand.
With the moment of landing.
Su Hao slammed the basketball into the hoop.
The Heat fans in the arena were stunned by this momentous scene.
