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

Chapter 126 Black Bear Strikes, White Bear Takes Revenge!

Memphis Grizzlies.

Training stadium.

"I've been waiting for so long, and today has finally come!"

Hashim Thabeet looked excited as he rushed up to the "Grind and Grind" and exclaimed, "Our next game will be against the Clippers!"

We have to teach them a lesson, no matter what, and defeat the Clippers' nine-game winning streak and their arrogance.

"Yes."

"White Bear" Marc Gasol nodded slightly, a glint of cunning in his eyes. "We got a big beating from the Clippers in the preseason."

Especially Su Hao.

A rookie who just entered the league gave me a hard time right from the start, how can I accept that!

This time... I'm going to get everything back!

"Nine consecutive wins! That's a bit too much of a stunt."

"Black Bear" Randolph narrowed his eyes. "I wasn't there for the preseason, so the roster wasn't complete, which gave the Clippers an easy win."

This allowed Su Hao to taste success in the penalty area.

Consider it a perk for new users.

"If I were to step in now and beat the Clippers when they're at their most confident, the blow would only be greater."

"Yes, we must take revenge, and take revenge severely."

Gasol snorted and frowned again, "But Su Hao's physical talent is indeed amazing, and his strength is really fierce."

To confront this aspect.

It's really hard to restrict.

"Zack, are you confident?"

Zach Randolph flexed his biceps, saying, "When it comes to strength, I've never been afraid of anyone in this league!"

……

The Celtics, Grizzlies, Spurs, Lakers, Heat, Cavaliers, and other major teams in the league.

Everyone's eyes are on the Clippers' nine-game winning streak, and everyone's eyes are on Su Hao.

For a time... Su Hao and the Clippers, who were riding high on the spotlight, were on the verge of becoming the public enemy of the entire league.

They are clearly a very young team, and the league has the defending champion Lakers and many other strong teams.

But the Clippers were the ones being targeted.

All I can say is that... Su Hao, the "Hulk" who just entered the league, stirred up too much trouble, stole too much limelight, and overshadowed too many star players.

It has attracted too much hatred.

So, the question is, which team can defeat the Clippers, who have Suarez and Curry, head-to-head?!

……

Clippers training facility.

The team has achieved a nine-game winning streak, remaining undefeated all season and once again holding the top spot in the Western Conference.

Team's core player, Su Hao, has already secured the "Rookie of the Year" award.

Compared to last season's bottom-of-the-West team, the Clippers have undergone a complete 180-degree transformation this season.

Strong.

They are far too strong.

"Hahaha!"

Coach Mike Dunleavy gathered the players together, laughing heartily, "Guys, you did a great job."

Our Clippers are no longer a weak team, but a team that can contend for the playoffs and go even further.

Come on.

This year, we can soar to new heights.

"Oh!"

"The Clippers are the best!"

The players are excited; this is the Clippers they want.

"Snapped!"

Su Hao and Curry gave each other a high five.

From Davidson College to the Los Angeles Clippers, the two have always had great chemistry and displayed great dominance on the court.

No brothers, no basketball.

Their eyes met, a look that suggested they were determined to fight forever.

"what…"

Coach Dunleavy was very satisfied with the players' condition and confidence, and then took out a schedule, saying, "Although we have already won 9 consecutive games."

But the new season has only just begun, and every match from now on must be taken seriously.

Our next opponents are: Grizzlies (away), Raptors (home), Raptors (away), Heat (away), Kings (away), Warriors (away) and Magic (home).

The Grizzlies have the "Grizzlies' Twin Towers," the Raptors have "Dragon King" Bosh, and the Heat have "Flash" Wade.

The Warriors have Monta Ellis, the Magic have "Superman" Dwight Howard and "Half-Man, Half-Amazing" Vince Carter.

Every team has tough players.

The key point is that we have to play 5 away games out of the next 7, including 4 consecutive away games.

Playing consecutive away games will have a significant impact on our form.

Overcoming this stretch of the competition will not be an easy task.

Everyone needs to stay focused.

I hope you can win all of these games; it would be a milestone for the Clippers.

"What milestone?!"

Curry asked.

Coach Dunleavy continued, "If we win the next 7 games, we will have a 16-game winning streak."

The Clippers' franchise record for a winning streak is 15 games. If we can win all 15, we will set a new franchise record.

"Wow~"

Gordon exclaimed, his eyes burning with excitement, "To create a historic winning streak?!"

This seems like a very interesting thing.

I will do my best.

"Me too."

Curry immediately raised his hand in agreement, saying, "As a newcomer to the league, I have the potential to help the team break the franchise record for consecutive wins."

This is a remarkable thing.

I want to be one of the key contributors to achieving this milestone.

"And I!"

DeAndre Jordan is also in high spirits.

Camby smiled and said, "Everyone's really motivated, so... let's give it our all and create a chapter in the history of the Los Angeles Clippers."

"oh!!!"

The coach didn't need to say much; these young players were full of enthusiasm for breaking records and creating milestones.

Where is Su Hao?

Coach Dunleavy looked at Su Hao with a big smile.

"of course."

Su Hao smiled and nodded, "Who wouldn't want to break records? Of course I would too."

Setting records is one aspect.

On the other hand... after about 7 more games, it will be over in November.

If he continues to perform well, he is very likely to win the Player of the Month award, having already been named Player of the Week twice.

Once obtained.

He will complete the system task and receive Hakeem Olajuwon's "Dream Steps" as a reward.

In addition to individual performance, team performance is also one of the criteria for selecting the Player of the Month.

I don't want to wait another month.

Su Hao will naturally try his best to play well in the next 7 games, and if he plays well, he will try his best to help the team win the games.

By then.

Good individual performance + excellent team record + monthly best honor + Dream Steps reward.

Four buffs stacked.

Su Hao's first month in the NBA will be full of success, and his popularity will soar.

……

One day later.

8 p.m.

Pyramid Stadium.

The Grizzlies vs. Clippers showdown is about to begin in half an hour.

In the commentary box.

Jeff Van Gundy began by saying, "The Clippers' 'twin stars' played the Grizzlies in their first preseason game of the new season."

I remember it very clearly.

Su Hao dominated "Pot God" Thabeet, blocked Conley, knocked down "White Bear" Gasol, and stepped on the Grizzlies' head, announcing a resounding victory to the entire league.

The Davidson duo, who dominated the NCAA, are coming to the NBA to stir things up!

The Grizzlies, who became a stepping stone, lost face and didn't seem to be a match for the Clippers.

but.

Zach Randolph, nicknamed "The Black Bear," did not play in that preseason game.

The "Black Bear" is out tonight; the "Black and White Bears" have teamed up, making this the strongest lineup of grizzly bears.

Will they be able to avenge themselves tonight?!

let us wait and see!!!"

Black bears have been spotted.

For the Grizzlies, he is more than just another powerful center.

Furthermore, Randolph possesses an extremely strong physique and astonishing strength.

It can be said.

He is the strongest inside player Su Hao has faced so far this season.

From the perspective of outside experts, the goal is to reduce Su Hao's dominance in the paint.

The first priority is to find a strong inside player who can withstand his impact to some extent.

Similarly, back then, in order to limit "Shaq" O'Neal, every team stockpiled powerful centers.

no way.

Basketball is a world of giants, a world full of competition. Skill alone is not enough without strength and talent.

Allen Iverson, the number one pick of the 96 golden generation.

He has brought the energy that a small player can exert on the NBA stage to the extreme.

It can be said.

If he grows another 15 centimeters taller, without changing anything else.

Jordan may not be the greatest player in NBA history.

Even though Iverson had already brought his abilities as a small player to their peak.

In the end, he could only become an "uncrowned king".

So... even without height and strength, you might still achieve something in the NBA.

But height and strength are what make it easier for you to reach the top and become king.

This is one of the reasons why Su Hao became so strong when he first joined the league that he was once the league's public enemy.

To fight him, you need to match his height, weight, and strength, and now... "Black Bear" Randolph has all of those qualities.

He could have a run into Su Hao.

"Black bears have appeared, polar bears are seeking revenge, the black and white bears will bite the Hulk tonight!"

"Ending the Clippers' 9-game winning streak!"

"A bunch of newbies, trying to show off as soon as they join the league, what are they thinking!"

"Charge, grizzly bear!"

"..."

The home team's morale is soaring.

In a warm and enthusiastic atmosphere, both sides finished their warm-up and the starting lineups began to take to the field, with the main match about to begin.

Memphis Grizzlies Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Mike Conley, Shooting Guard: OJ Mayo, Small Forward: Rudy Gay, Power Forward: Marc Gasol, Center: Zach Randolph.

Los Angeles Clippers Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Curry, Shooting Guard: Gordon, Small Forward: Rasoul, Power Forward: David Lee, Center: Su Hao.

"Jumpball!"

The taller Gasol and Su Hao contested for the ball, but there was still no suspense, no surprises whatsoever.

"Snapped!"

Su Hao easily lobbed the basketball, David Lee caught it, passed it to Curry to advance, and Curry reached the right arc, a step beyond the three-point line.

Conley didn't follow up immediately.

"Wow!"

Curry extended his hand and hit a long three-pointer.

"what?"

Mike Conley looked surprised.

That shot was absolutely terrible, and his judgment was correct.

"Bang!"

Missed.

Even if it doesn't go in, it's still an opportunity for Curry, and he needs to take the shot decisively.

rebound?!

It bounced out.

Su Hao took a step forward, then jumped back. His outstretched arms and large hands resembled a large net cast into the sea, instantly covering the entire sky.

He secured the rebound before Marc Gasol could.

After the shot was sent out, and Curry was called back, Mike Conley had to follow up and couldn't let Curry continue to shoot.

Why follow if you clearly didn't win?

Because... the curvature is really straight, it's just a little bit off. If we were given another chance...

It's guaranteed to be a hit.

But Curry isn't the kind of player who just goes for the ball whenever he gets it.

Seeing Mike Conley lunging fiercely, he suddenly took a step forward and delivered a diagonal ground strike to Gordon, who was cutting in from the lower right.

Su Hao positioned himself under the basket to provide assistance.

Gordon made a layup.

Grizzlies 0-2 Clippers

Transition of possession.

Conley pushed the ball over, set a screen, and tried to break through from the right side, but Gordon switched defense just in time.

Rasul was also watching from the flank.

They couldn't break through.

The ball is moved wide, finding Rudy Gay on the left high post, and Curry comes up to cover.

Gay faked a drive and then took a jump shot.

"Clang."

Missed.

The Grizzlies are a well-rounded team, with their defense being stronger than their offense to some extent.

Like the Clippers, they also have more rebounds and second-chance opportunities in each game.

This is the Grizzlies' advantage.

This rebound?!

The "Black and White Bears" guard the rim, making it virtually impossible for opponents to steal the ball.

But now it's Su Hao, a behemoth with a height of 2.3 meters, a wingspan of 2.43 meters, and a weight of 400 kilograms.

Su Hao positioned himself under the basket; with his strong physique, he could take on two opponents at once.

Randolph rammed into Su Hao, pressing his body against him, and the intense physical confrontation was an attempt to prevent him from having a chance to jump.

Gasol can then take the opportunity to protect the rebound.

He had a significant advantage in the competition with David Lee.

of course.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is very ugly.

Su Hao not only withstood Randolph's physical impact, but also disrupted Gasol's positioning.

"Kick!"

He bent his knees and leaped up, his outstretched arm directly surpassing the two arms of the "Black and White Bears" by the height of a hand.

The gap is too big.

Su Hao easily protected the basket, but the "Black and White Bears" rushed forward and held off Su Hao.

Not urgent.

Su Hao went off to find Curry.

The Clippers counterattacked.

Conley and Guy's pursuit and defense were both timely. They couldn't break through on fast breaks, and they weren't in a hurry to settle into positional play.

It seemed like they were going to wait for Su Hao to get into position under the basket before launching an attack, but actually... on Su Hao's way to the basket...

Curry suddenly bounced the ball to Su Hao.

"Snapped!"

Su Hao, who received the ball one step inside the three-point line, took two steps and went straight for a layup.

With just two quick steps, Su Hao charged into the basket and soared into the air.

Rudy Guy had just jumped.

"boom!"

Su Hao slammed the basketball into the basket over him, the incredible impact of the physical confrontation knocking Gay over.

Gay rolled several times under the basketball hoop before finally coming to a stop on the ground, his mind completely blank.

"What kind of power is this? What kind of impact is this? How are we supposed to defend against this?!"

Don't say I can't block it.

Even if I manage to block that shot... I'd probably be half-dead from the fall!

Rudy Guy lay on the ground, panting heavily. The sharp pain in his chest filled him with a strange fear of Su Hao's power.

Switch to offense.

After Conley pushed the ball over, he went for Gay first, but Rasoul defended him very well.

But Guy is more talented.

With a burst of speed, a sudden stop in the ensuing confrontation, and another pull-up jumper, Rasul managed to stay in position and close the gap.

"Shh!"

Guy hit the target again.

David Lee inbounds the ball from the baseline, passes it to Gordon, who first looks for Curry, then drives to draw the defense.

A brilliant back pass found Su Hao in the low post on the left, mismatched against... Guy.

Not flashy.

Gay's height and weight advantage allowed him to sit down and attack directly, and he would push the ball sideways. Gay's defense seemed very serious.

In reality, it couldn't interfere with Su Hao at all.

Su Hao pushed the ball horizontally to the basket, ignoring Gay's defense, and dunked over him face-to-face.

at this time.

On Su Hao's left, Conley suddenly appeared and tried to steal the ball.

And Marc Gasol also filled in on his right.

Three people surrounded and attacked.

Su Hao's gaze sharpened. As he pushed the ball horizontally, he held it with both hands to protect it, and then turned to the outside to avoid Conley's steal and shake off Gay.

But with that upward turn, Su Hao collided head-on with the onrushing Gasol!
