567 Bosh gets a mismatch against Curry!
567 Bosh gets a mismatch against Curry!
This interaction instantly triggered screams and cheers from the audience, as the two openly flirted on the tense and exciting court.
After successfully completing the attack, Su Hao began his defense with light steps.
Along the way, he saw his teammate Curry, who was also performing exceptionally well, and took the initiative to reach out and give him a high-five.
Su Hao smiled and joked, "Hey Curry, well done! That pass was really beautiful, almost half my level!"
However, Curry clearly disagreed with Su Hao's assessment. He frowned slightly and muttered in response, "Tch, what do you mean 'almost'? My passing skills are master-level, okay? Don't underestimate me!"
Although he said that, the smile on his face showed that he was very pleased with Su Hao's praise.
Just as the two were chatting casually, the Heat quickly inbounded the ball from the baseline.
James received the ball and quickly sprinted towards the frontcourt, holding the basketball aggressively as he reached the three-point line.
Faced with such a fierce offensive, the Clippers dared not be careless. Rasul Butler and David Lee decisively chose to step forward together to double-team James.
The atmosphere on the field became tense again, with everyone's eyes fixed on this spectacular match.
On the court, when James was double-teamed aggressively by two opponents, he tried his best to control the ball. Despite his best efforts to break through the defense, the opponent's tight defense made every dribble extremely difficult.
After several intense struggles, James realized that forcing an attack was not a good strategy, so he quickly made a decision, glanced at Bosh in the right corner, and passed the ball out without hesitation.
Bosh hadn't touched the ball in a long time and seemed caught off guard by the sudden pass.
Before he could fully recover, the basketball carrying the team's hopes had already flown right in front of him.
What surprised him even more was that the person standing in front of him to defend him was Curry!
Clearly, Curry had switched positions at some point and was now closely guarding Bosh.
This is undoubtedly a perfect opportunity for Bosh to showcase his outside shooting ability.
After all, compared to the relatively short Curry, Bosh had a clear advantage in height.
If even such a rare opportunity cannot be seized and a successful shot cannot be scored, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Bosh couldn't help but shudder, because he knew that if he made a mistake, he would be met with a severe reprimand from James.
After taking a deep breath, Bosh caught the ball that James had passed to him.
He then paused briefly, quickly scanning the surrounding situation with his sharp eyes.
Especially when he made eye contact with Curry, he seemed to see a hint of tension and unease in the other's eyes.
Without hesitation, Bosh jumped decisively, raised his arm high, and flicked his wrist, sending the basketball hurtling towards the basket like a bolt of lightning.
At the same time, Curry stretched out his arms with all his might, trying to stop Bosh's shot.
Unfortunately, due to the significant height difference, his efforts were ultimately in vain.
As the basketball whizzed past his head, Curry felt a mix of helplessness and resentment.
At that moment, all eyes of the audience were focused on the basketball flying at high speed.
If this shot misses, then Su Hao will undoubtedly secure the rebound.
The thought of this possible outcome sent Bosh's heart leaping into his throat, a wave of tension washing over him. He stared intently at the basketball that had just been thrown from his hands, arcing through the air, as if time itself had frozen in that moment.
At this moment, Bosh silently prayed in his heart: "It has to go in! We absolutely can't give Su Hao a chance..."
Just then, a crisp "swish" sound rang out, and the basketball swished through the net!
Bosh actually made a three-pointer!
Bosh was extremely excited after scoring the goal. He stretched his neck like a giraffe, raised his head and let out a long roar that echoed throughout the stadium, as if he was releasing all the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
This was only his first shot attempt in the quarter, and unexpectedly, he made a crucial three-pointer so easily.
Bosh, who has had a mediocre performance, finally got to eat some "dumplings" this time.
Su Hao, who was already waiting in the paint, ready to fight for the rebound, couldn't help but smile helplessly after seeing Bosh's beautiful three-pointer.
He shook his head and thought to himself, "The Heat are really lucky today! It seems I can't just sit around waiting for rebounds anymore; I have to go to the perimeter myself and strengthen my defense against them."
There was one minute left in the first quarter.
After Bosh hit that three-pointer, the Clippers called a timeout.
This was the Clippers' first timeout of the quarter.
The Clippers called a timeout? Looks like they need to focus on the Heat's three-point shooting!
We can't let them keep throwing like this!
The players from both sides returned to the sidelines.
"Damn it, the Heat's outside shooting has become so accurate? I don't believe they'll stay this accurate forever!" David Lee exclaimed as he returned to the sidelines.
The timeout was called by Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy.
This is also a rare instance of him calling a timeout this season.
The previous games went very smoothly, but this time, unexpectedly, there was an incident after James clashed with Su Hao.
They surprisingly found their outside shooting touch.
This was something the Clippers hadn't anticipated.
Thanks to these three-pointers, the Heat are now trailing the Clippers by 8 points.
Coach Dunleavy stood in front of the tactical board, his eyes resolute: "We can no longer give them open shots. We must increase the intensity of our defense, especially in guarding James and Bosh." The players nodded in agreement.
"Coach, our defense is fine, it's just that their outside shooting is on fire. But I'm confident they won't be able to keep it up for long!" Gordon chimed in.
"Stop arguing, everyone. Aldridge will replace David Lee in a bit, and I'll take over the perimeter defense!" Su Hao stepped forward and said to his teammates.
Seeing Su Hao say this, Curry stepped forward and said, "Yes, let Su Hao be freed up from the inside and let him defend the outside. This will perfectly solve the problem of defending the outside!"
“Hmm! That works too! Let’s leave it at that for now! If it really doesn’t work, we’ll think of something in the second quarter!” Mike Dunleavy continued.
