NBA: The Hulk's talent has female celebrities going wild.

Chapter 194 Seven people take turns defending, indiscriminately exploding!

End of the first quarter.

Clippers 31:22 Spurs.

The Clippers led by 9 points after the first quarter.

Su Hao scored 11 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, and 6 blocks in the first quarter.

Hulk's dazzling offense and defense allowed him to dominate the "GDP" trio in their matchups, which really dampened the Spurs' morale.

However… Popovich seemed quite calm. He found the players and said in a deep voice, “We’ve tried attacking.”

I have tried.

As you all know, Su Hao's dominance in the paint is incredibly fierce, and you know how formidable his offensive and defensive capabilities are, thanks to his terrifying talent.

I'll show you that it's okay if you can't win a one-on-one fight.

After failing to defeat Su Hao in consecutive challenges, we were only 9 points behind in the first quarter, which is perfectly acceptable.

Starting from the next quarter, everyone should try to avoid Su Hao. Even if you are able to defend against him, don't be discouraged. Just know that it's normal.

Play at the rhythm that the Spurs should have.

Secondly... on the defensive end, we must constantly wear down Su Hao, sparing no effort until he is completely exhausted.

By then.

"Then we can win the game."

"Oh!"

"Yes, coach."

Everyone said yes.

Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili exchanged glances, all of them having realized just how formidable Su Hao was during that one quarter of the game.

Knowing what to do next.

soon.

The second quarter is approaching.

First, they rotated as substitutes.

The Spurs have a strong bench including George Hill, DeJuan Blair, Matt Bonner, and Roger Mason.

Hill averaged 13.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.

Blair averaged 6.8 rebounds and 8.5 points per game.

Bonner and Mason, one can protect the rim and the other can pass the ball, both averaged 7 points per game.

The combined strength of these individuals, coupled with their well-organized passing, is the force of a substitute bandit.

It makes any team's substitutes afraid.

DeAndre Jordan and Marcus Camby of the Clippers are indeed good at protecting the rim, but they tend to lose their composure after a few passes.

They couldn't even find anyone with the ball.

Rotate every 4 minutes.

The Spurs' bench narrowed the 9-point deficit to 4 points.

The two teams were almost on the same starting line.

"Beep!"

Coach Dunleavy called a timeout.

Facing a bunch of bench players from the Spurs, it would be acceptable to come back and score 5 points.

Both teams' starting lineups have returned.

The fierce fighting continues.

Starting from this quarter, Duncan further reduced his offense and increased his defensive intensity against Su Hao, not aiming to stop him, but to exhaust him as much as possible.

Su Hao knew this in his heart as well.

To beat the Spurs tonight, we need to not only defend well, but also keep up on offense.

The Spurs want to wear themselves down.

As long as Su Hao has an opportunity to attack, then sorry... he'll accept any opportunity.

"Bang bang bang!"

First came a series of intense confrontations, leaving "The Stone Buddha" Duncan breathless and feeling extremely sore all over.

He persisted for 6 minutes.

Can't stand it.

This indicates a change of guard.

So... Antonio McDyess stepped in and officially became the second primary defender against Su Hao, with Duncan providing help defense.

If at the peak.

McDyess can actually manage to hold his own against Su Hao.

But now they can't hold on at all.

"boom!"

After a back-to-back collision, McDyess, despite his full strength, couldn't withstand it and his body kept retreating, but his defensive will was strong.

He gritted his teeth and stopped himself from moving.

They forced their way up.

But Su Hao is already under the basket, what does that mean?!

"boom!"

Su Hao suddenly surged forward, forcefully slamming the ball into the basket, ignoring the defense of centers McDyess and Duncan.

Extremely brutal.

McDyess gritted his teeth and persevered for two minutes during the collision, holding on until halftime. When he returned to the locker room, he lay down on a soft chair, unable to move.

My thighs and arms were cramping so badly that I had to use ice packs.

"Holy shit!"

Parker was horrified. "McDyess only held out for a short time, and he's already cramping up. How intense was that fight?!"

Just how terrifying is Su Hao's power?!

"Not really?!"

Richard Jefferson couldn't believe it.

"You can do it!"

McDyess rolled his eyes at him, too exhausted to say anything more.

"hey-hey!"

Richard Jefferson shrank back sheepishly. "I was just saying. I know Su Hao is a monster."

A monster even more ferocious than Dwight Howard in "Warcraft."

"very good."

But Coach Popovich smiled and said, "McDyess gave it his all, and that attitude deserves encouragement. We need him to do the same tonight."

They wanted to defeat Su Hao.

That would require using a "human wave tactic" to wear them down.

In the second half... Matt Bonner, Ian Mahinmi, and Marcus Hislip, the three of you should also get ready to go on the court.

"Defend relentlessly, wear down Su Hao."

Bonner is 208 cm tall, Mahinmi is 211 cm tall, and Hislip is 208 cm tall. They are all tall forwards, so we don't expect them to score.

As long as they wear down Su Hao.

"Oh!"

The three of them roared in unison.

Bonner is a backup center with consistent playing time, while Mahinmi and Hislip are both third-team players, or even bench players.

They train no less than others every day.

But they just wouldn't let them play.

It's really tough, even though they know they might not be good enough, but they still have the chance to go out there and prove themselves.

We must seize this opportunity.

The two secretly decided that even if they had to risk their lives tonight, they would wear Su Hao down and make sure the old man was satisfied.

soon.

Back for the second half.

The game resumes after switching sides.

Duncan rested, McDyess took over the center position, and Bonner came on and immediately started to harass Su Hao, constantly giving him off-ball contact.

I don't care if I get called for a foul.

The intensity is maxed out.

"wooow~"

Seeing this, Reggie Miller remarked, "Bonner is starting alongside Su Hao; is the old man planning to use a swarm tactic?"

They're draining Su Hao's resources like crazy.

That makes sense. As long as they can wear down Su Hao, the Spurs will have plenty of opportunities to launch a counterattack, or even sweep the series in one go.

"Yes."

Drexler agreed, but then added, "But... can this kind of attrition really wear down Su Hao, or just make it easier for him to score?"

Just saying.

Su Hao received the ball under the basket on the right side, ignoring Bonner in front of him, and jumped as soon as he got the ball, no matter how crazy Bonner was yelling.

The overlord slammed the bow.

A truly dominant dunk over his head!

In the next possession, Su Hao grabbed the backboard over Bonner's head and used it to challenge him, knocking him down.

Su Hao: ? ? ?

Brother, I didn't even use any force, how did you fall down?!

You faked the fall, didn't you?!

Fortunately... the referee didn't call a foul.

"boom!"

Su Hao combined the ball and delivered another powerful dunk.

easy.

Bonner's defense made it easier for Su Hao to attack.

He can protect the rim, defend, and score; he has it all, completely dominating the paint and giving off a feeling of...doing whatever he wants.

"boom!"

In another confrontation, Bonner was knocked to the ground once again, gasping for breath and unable to even get up.

have to.

Bonner has also been taken offline.

"Beep!"

The old man called a timeout, substituted McDyess and put Duncan in, and at the same time... put Mahinmi in!

He used a human wave tactic.

The fourth player to defensively wear down Su Hao!
