Chapter 113: Twists and turns again, a draw or a last-minute winner?!
"Damn it!"
Harden roared in frustration.
Scottic, Jeff Green, and Durant also rushed over at the same time, their eight large hands frantically trying to snatch a basketball.
A power struggle between Su Hao and the Thunder's three forwards.
Who will win?
"drink!"
crucial moment.
Su Hao also began to exert his full strength. With a low shout, he shook his arms, his biceps bulging with veins, and after gripping the basketball tightly, he suddenly lifted it upwards.
Invincible.
Unstoppable.
All six of the Thunder's large hands detached from the basketball.
Su Hao broke free from the Thunder's three big men's pressure, took a step forward, ignored the three defenders, grabbed the ball and was about to fly up to slam the basketball into the basket.
"Ahhh!"
In a panic, Jeff Green forcefully sliced the ball before Su Hao could jump, slicing it into Su Hao's arm.
"Beep!"
The whistle blows.
Jeff Green committed a tactical foul, and Su Hao went to the free throw line.
Amid the chaos, Su Hao was given two free throw opportunities.
But there were only 3.0 seconds left.
Too little.
Even if Su Hao makes both free throws, the game is still lost.
'You can't just rely on free throws!'
The moment Su Hao stepped to the free-throw line, he was lost in thought. 'There's not enough time. Two points aren't enough. I need to get at least three points from this free throw.'
I have to make the first free throw, miss the second, and then... grab the rebound, have a second chance, and score again.
At least this much should be done first!
I can't think too much about it.
Su Hao takes his first free throw.
A very serious free throw.
Thanks to the "skyhook," Su Hao's shooting softness has improved, and his free throw accuracy has also increased.
But at this crucial moment, there is still some pressure on the free throws.
Su Hao took a few deep breaths, dribbled the ball a few times, found his rhythm, raised the ball, snapped his wrist, and shot in one smooth motion.
This shot?
"Shh!"
Su Hao withstood the pressure and made the free throw.
However, missing the second free throw and getting the well-placed iron to bounce off was arguably more difficult than making the shot.
The Thunder remained calm and composed. In their view, the game was over once Su Hao finished his second free throw, regardless of whether he made it or not.
Durant even glanced at Scarlett on the sidelines, as if to tell her something.
I, Durant, am the one who can lead the team to victory and am the stronger one.
Su Hao's second free throw.
Everything was exactly the same as the first free throw, until the final shot. Su Hao didn't aim for the center of the basket, but... the very front of the basket.
That shot?!
The basketball that Su Hao threw hit the front edge of the rim, but slightly behind, causing it to bounce upwards.
It doesn't bounce forward.
Such a landing point is actually not very good.
But there was nothing Su Hao could do; it wasn't something he could completely control.
No time to think too much.
Almost the instant Su Hao passed the ball, he was already ready to go for the rebound.
The moment the basketball hit the rim, Su Hao rushed from the free-throw line towards the basket.
Meanwhile, Jeff Green, who was right under the basket, saw Su Hao miss his free throw.
He was in a completely open position, and with a slight leap, he could protect the basketball and win the game.
Then a moment.
No one noticed Su Hao, who was sprinting at full speed. His speed was comparable to that of an elite guard, and he was quite fast.
In an instant.
Su Hao had already rushed to the basket.
"what?!"
Kostic then realized what was happening and hurriedly shouted, "Stop him!"
His defensive instincts drove him forward, trying to block Su Hao's path.
But Su Hao was too fast and had already passed him, rushing to the basket and jumping up.
"No !!!!"
Scotty screamed, and his hand, without thinking, instinctively reached for Su Hao's arm, trying to cushion the blow.
But no.
Or rather... once Su Hao is fully charged, even if Scottic tries to hold him back, it won't make a difference.
next second.
"boom!"
Su Hao is tall enough and has a long enough wingspan.
Just as Jeff Green was about to grab the basketball, someone behind him, above his head, snatched it first and slammed it into the basket.
Scottic's pulling also caused Su Hao to lose his balance and crash into Jeff Green in front of him.
The two of them fell to the floor together.
"Beep!"
Su Hao committed a self-punishment, grabbed the rebound himself, and slammed it back, completing the follow-up slam. Crucially... the whistle blew.
How do you blow it?!
The referee called a foul on Scottic Lasuho.
The above is a long explanation, but in reality, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
There were 3.0 seconds left on the clock.
There are 1.4 seconds left.
Only 1.6 seconds elapsed.
However... Su Hao scored three points in those 1.6 seconds, narrowing the gap to just one point.
There was one more free throw.
If they score, the score will be tied.
One second it was a dead end, the next it was a draw – it was a complete upheaval.
Clippers and Thunder fans were stunned, completely overwhelmed with shock.
It took everyone several seconds to process what was happening.
Then... a deafening roar of cheers echoed throughout the entire stadium.
Clippers fans are revived, excited, and thrilled! Seeing hope for a comeback, they went from being lifeless to completely boiling over!
"Beep!"
Coach Dunleavy quickly called another timeout, the last timeout of the game.
He needs to give Su Hao enough time to get into his best form and make that final free throw.
The game went into overtime.
Even though they haven't won yet, it's already remarkable that they were able to come back from the abyss when they had already stepped into it.
Such a draw.
This will allow the Clippers to completely overwhelm the Thunder, giving them immense dominance in overtime.
They have a higher chance of winning.
"Holy shit!"
Harden clutched his head, looking utterly incredulous. "How could this happen?!"
The plot shouldn't be going this way!
Westbrook's eyes were also vacant, and he seemed to be in a daze.
The old sow wears a bra, one after another.
He had no idea what had happened, how the 4-point deficit had turned into a 1-point deficit, and how the Clippers still had a chance to tie the game.
This is so dreamy.
Durant's face was also extremely pale. If they could still lose the game by a last-second tie, or even lose the game in the end.
He would be devastated if he were to be humiliated and outmaneuvered in front of the goddess he admires.
Clippers bench.
All the players were incredibly excited. An incredible comeback was unfolding, and how could they not be thrilled?
"Su, tonight you are a god!"
Curry looked excited.
Su Hao sat in a chair to rest, drinking a bottle of energy drink that DeAndre Jordan handed him.
Normal size.
But Su Hao drank it just like he was drinking oral liquid.
Don't be too happy yet.
Coach Dunleavy suppressed the players' excitement, "There's one last free throw."
A successful shot is necessary to secure a draw.
Everyone, calm down. Don't put too much pressure on Su Hao. Let him rest more, adjust himself, and approach this free throw with the best mindset.
"it is good!"
Everyone nodded emphatically.
soon.
The short timeout has ended.
The players from both sides returned to the field, and Su Hao took his final free throw, which he had to make to tie the game.
"Su Hao!"
"Su Hao!"
The home fans chanted Su Hao's name in unison, giving him the loudest cheers and encouragement.
"come on!"
Scarlett also clenched her little hand to cheer for Su Hao.
Taylor Swift couldn't sit still either, and stood up from the chair. Her long, slender, fair, and straight legs were simply stunning.
His beautiful eyes were also fixed on Su Hao, and he silently prayed for him, "Su Hao, you must hit the target, you must win the game!"
You're the best!!!
