"Then I have to thank you! If I can make ten three-pointers in this game, I'll treat you to dinner afterwards!" Curry shouted excitedly.
His voice echoed throughout the stadium, leaving the Bulls players, who were preparing to attack, bewildered and astonished.
"We're still playing! And you're discussing where to eat after the game? Don't you even respect us?" Noah angrily questioned.
Curry retorted without backing down, "We're discussing our own business, what's it to you?" He then gave Noah a fierce glare.
Rose received a pass from his teammate on the perimeter, his eyes landing on Gordon, the defender in front of him.
He suddenly got excited, quickly turned sideways and accelerated, easily shaking off Gordon who was following him.
Just as he was about to charge toward the basket, facing defender Su Hao, Rose suddenly stopped.
"Is Rose going to challenge Su Hao's defense? This is really exciting!" commentator Miller exclaimed excitedly.
The audience also tensed up, their eyes glued to the situation on the field.
"If Rose can score that basket over Su Hao, it will definitely give their team a huge morale boost!" Miller continued to comment.
However, at that moment, Rose did not choose to attack, but passed the ball to Luol Deng in the corner. Deng received the ball and shot, but unfortunately missed.
After this possession, the Clippers quickly launched a counterattack.
Gordon dribbled the ball up the court and found Curry, who was open, by passing the ball around.
Curry jumped and shot without hesitation, the basketball drawing a beautiful arc in the air and swishing through the net.
The Clippers players cheered, and Curry celebrated with a fist pump.
"Curry hit a three-pointer! He's having such a great shooting night!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly.
The Bulls continued their attack.
Rose brought the ball up the court again, and facing Gordon who was coming to defend him, he used his teammates' screens to successfully shake off his opponent and get to the basket again.
This time, he wanted to try to challenge Su Hao's defense.
Because he knew his advantage lay in constantly attacking the opponent's inside game.
We cannot be timid or hesitant just because the opponent's interior defender is a "monster" like Su Hao.
"Rose probably won't pass the ball this time!"
"If this ball goes in, it will definitely be one of today's top five goals!"
The fans were extremely excited to see this.
Everyone was hoping that Rose would choose to attack on his own when facing Su Hao's defense.
They won't waste this good opportunity to break through to the basket.
While everyone was still discussing it, Rose chose to pass the ball to Boozer under the basket.
After receiving the ball, the latter had no extra time to consider, and there was very little time left for the attack.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and force his way to the basket.
With a crisp "snap," as Boozer jumped to put the ball into the basket, Su Hao suddenly turned around and shot at him.
He slammed the basketball out of his hands and sent it out of bounds.
"What's going on! Rose actually chose to pass the ball again? Is this still the Rose we know?" Yang Yi exclaimed in the live broadcast room.
“Actually, Ross’s choice wasn’t wrong. Boozer’s position was indeed very good; he just didn’t seize the opportunity!” Su Qun said.
"Boozer is still too slow. Su Hao was already drawn to Rose's offense, and he couldn't finish the attack. It looks like this game will be tough for the Bulls!" Coach Zhang laughed.
Fortunately, the Bulls still had possession of the ball.
They have three seconds left to launch their attack.
Bogans inbounds the ball from the outside, and Rose receives it smoothly from his teammate at the top of the key.
He then hit a three-pointer over Curry's defense.
The basketball sailed over Curry's head and landed steadily in the basket.
After this three-pointer, the Bulls finally broke their scoring drought.
Su Hao picked up the basketball and immediately sent the ball to the baseline.
A long inbound pass brought the basketball to David Lee's hands in the frontcourt.
The latter received the ball almost directly under the basket.
Facing Luol Deng's quick retreat on defense, he used his size to his advantage and delivered a dunk over him!
The Clippers' attack lasted only three seconds.
Su Hao didn't even have to retreat to defend before his teammate received the pass and completed the attack.
Halfway through the first quarter, the Clippers, relying on teamwork, were temporarily leading the Bulls by five points.
The Clippers' five-point advantage isn't much, mainly because most of their offense during this period relied on teamwork.
Su Hao rarely takes the initiative to attack; most of his points come from teammates missing shots, and he scores on putbacks.
The Bulls had a good shooting night, with Rose contributing from both the outside and mid-range.
After a short break, the players from both sides returned to the field.
After this timeout, Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy emphasized to the players not to keep taking wild shots from the outside, but to get the ball into Su Hao's hands more often.
In his view, the most reliable way to score against a strong opponent is to pass the ball to Su Hao.
Outside shooting relies entirely on touch; if your touch is off, your opponent may take the lead.
The most fundamental reason is that, so far in the game, Su Hao has basically not asked his teammates for the ball.
This reduced the lead to only five points, which was just a matter of two possessions.
As soon as he entered the game, Su Hao received a pass from Curry in the paint and faced Boozer's head-on defense.
With just a simple jump, he completed a powerful dunk over Boozer's head.
Boozer covered his head after landing, as if afraid the basketball would hit him on the head.
"This is so unfair!" Buzel complained to Su Hao, clutching his head.
“If you’re afraid I’ll bully you, you can choose to step off and rest!” Su Hao retorted.
Su Hao's powerful dunk left Boozer feeling helpless like never before.
In the previous game between the two sides, Su Hao dunked on him with impunity.
Even with Noah's help defense, they still couldn't stop Su Hao's frontal attack.
The sheer physical strength required to overcome him was already overwhelming.
The Bulls aren't in a rush right now, since there's still plenty of time in the game.
Noah sets a screen for Rose on the perimeter, getting around Gordon's defense and reaching the free-throw line.
This time, instead of continuing to drive to the basket, he opted for a pull-up jump shot.
The basketball went in smoothly.
It seems the Bulls' offense still depends on Rose's performance.
After switching sides, Curry dribbled the ball and stood at the top of the arc, once again choosing to pass the ball to Su Hao in the paint.
When Su Hao received the ball again, Boozer, who was positioned against him, was on tenterhooks.
