357 Stadium bulldozer!
Su Hao has made similar plays in previous matches.
However, when they truly demonstrated their dominance under the opponent's basket, they deeply understood what it meant to be a dominant force in the paint.
Su Hao simply leaped lightly and easily dunked over his opponent's head.
The movements were so natural and fluid, they were breathtaking.
For other players, this might be something to celebrate, but for Su Hao, it was just commonplace. His physical abilities were so extraordinary that it seemed as if the entire basketball court was his territory, and no one could stop him.
At this moment, even James, who is known as "Little Emperor", looked somewhat "small and delicate" when standing in front of Su Hao.
James thought to himself, "This guy's physical abilities are terrifying, and compared to him, I'm actually a whole size smaller! He's practically a bulldozer on the court!"
Chris Bosh, looking helpless, muttered to himself, "Su Hao, you're really leaving us no way out! How are we supposed to defend against this kind of offense?! This is just too much for us!"
Chris Bosh seems to be getting impatient, after all, he has only made one three-pointer so far in this game.
As the third star to join the Heat, Heat fans are also worried about his role on the team.
The Heat's roster is simply too luxurious; they need a lot of players to handle the ball.
LeBron James, the superstar known as "King James," is famous for his excellent ball-handling skills and all-around abilities.
However, what's strange is that LeBron James' performance in this game was completely different from when he was with the Cavaliers.
From the start of the game until now, he hasn't had as much control of the ball as he usually does.
Instead, Dwyane Wade had possession of the ball most of the time.
He himself rarely controlled the ball, instead entrusting the offensive responsibility entirely to his teammates.
Throughout the first quarter, he barely took any shots, which was clearly not his usual style of play.
Perhaps it's because the Heat's tactical system is so different from the Cavaliers'.
Or perhaps due to tactical needs, LeBron James had to sacrifice some ball possession to give way to his teammates.
After all, basketball is a team sport, and victory can only be achieved through teamwork.
To compete for the championship, everyone needs to make certain sacrifices.
This may be one of the reasons why he chose to join the Heat.
If he had stayed with the Cavaliers, he would have had unlimited shooting opportunities, but with the Heat, he had to adapt to a new role. That's why he was so low-key in the first quarter, taking very few shots.
After joining the Heat, things changed dramatically.
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are both players who need a lot of ball possession, and so does LeBron James.
However, there is only one basketball on the court, and the rules won't change just because a team has three superstars.
Therefore, the Heat's first priority is to address the issue of ball distribution.
Otherwise, it would be too difficult to defeat the Clippers.
Su Hao's outstanding performance just now left the Heat fans in the stands speechless.
Some fans even forgot they were loyal Heat supporters and became Su Hao's enthusiasts, waving towels and cheering him on.
After Su Hao made that crucial shot, the Heat quickly called a short timeout.
Coach Spoelstra said to LeBron James with a serious expression, "Our current game rhythm is very passive. When you come back on the court, I hope you can step up and take on the offensive responsibility!"
LeBron James nodded seriously, indicating that he was willing to accept the coach's advice.
Then, Spoelstra turned to Wade and said firmly, "Wade, you have to fully cooperate with LeBron's offense. We can't waste our home-court advantage!"
"You need to create more opportunities for him and try to pass the ball to him. We need him to step up and score!" Wade nodded, understanding that the team needed LeBron's offensive support at this moment.
The timeout ended, and both teams returned to the field.
Right from the start, Wade passed the ball to LeBron James.
It seems he really wants his good brother to have a good performance in his first game with the Heat.
Even if he can't win the game, at least his stats will look better.
After all, for a superstar, saving face is still very important.
The basketball came into LeBron James' hands.
He was being guarded by David Lee. Facing David Lee's defense, LeBron James did not hesitate and repeatedly used his shoulder to push David Lee to the vicinity of the free throw line.
He turned sideways, trying to toss the ball into the basket.
However, at this moment, there were already three or four players standing under the basket, including Su Hao.
Three Heat players were engaged in a physical battle with Su Hao, clearly trying to grab the rebound after LeBron James's missed shot.
The basketball bounced a few times on the rim before finally falling into it.
Ultimately, LeBron James scored the first two points for his team after a timeout.
In fact, he could have chosen a safer way to score, by getting closer to the basket before shooting.
After all, the closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage will be.
But that's just LeBron James' style. He likes to challenge himself and try things that seem impossible. Maybe that's what you call "being a loner."
But it is precisely this kind of "independence" that exists in most players in the league.
Although this shot wasn't the wisest choice, he successfully made the crucial basket, scoring two points for the team.
He chose a further shooting position because he was wary of Su Hao's defense.
If he hadn't made that shot, who knows what methods the three Heat players under the basket would have used to prevent Su Hao from getting the rebound.
After all, they all knew that if Su Hao got the ball, their chances of winning the game would become very slim.
Rasul Butler passed the ball to Curry.
The latter dribbled the ball up the court, and facing Wade's defense, Curry immediately passed the ball to Gordon.
"Pass the ball to Su Hao right away!" Gordon's teammates shouted from the sidelines.
Gordon understood his teammate's meaning and made a through pass, bringing the ball into Su Hao's hands.
When Su Hao got the ball, Haslem under the basket immediately tensed up.
He called over Chris Bosh, who was not far away, to come and help him defend.
Unexpectedly, before Chris Bosh could even get into position, Su Hao had already jumped up from the spot.
No, he just slightly lifted his foot, stretched out his long arm, and easily placed the basketball into the hoop.
