Chapter 169
Su Hao used the Flash's Phantom Step to beat Wade twice in a row, which made it difficult for Wade to accept it.
O'Neal and Barkley were also shocked by Su Hao's singles.
"I didn't expect that he, who usually only relied on his body to play one-on-one, would suddenly use a rarely used dribble move, followed by a phantom step. It was really amazing."
O'Neal also pretended to imitate Su Hao holding the ball and dribble back and forth
"Su Hao, who was the nightmare of the defenders, is now gradually becoming the best defender in active service!
Su Hao is still proving himself step by step, and the best way to prove himself is... to outperform the opponent's defenders in every game!"
……
In the first half, the score difference was still maintained at two points. The Lakers' performance was also quite satisfactory, leading the Heat by only two points.
It can also be seen that the Heat can still compete with the Lakers, but only when Su Hao did not show his strength.
In the Lakers locker room
"It's rare that we played so anxiously today, and I didn't feel that the Heat could give us a sense of oppression. It seems that we didn't do a good enough job!
It shouldn't be a problem for you to perform to your due level in the third quarter, right?"
Scott's words also want to wake up the players who haven't started today.
The second half of the game started with the cheers of Heat fans.
Both teams returned from the starting lineup.
Wade faced Kobe one-on-one, accelerated the breakthrough on the right side, and distributed the ball to the outside Luol Deng caught the ball in the bottom corner and took a feint and continued to hit the inside. Jokic had already spotted the target inside and when he was waiting for Luol Deng to make a layup, he slapped the ball away and the basketball fell to the ground.
From the outside, Kobe and Wade were eyeing the ball.
Obviously, Kobe was already too far behind Wade. After picking up the ball, Wade accelerated again, got rid of Kobe's entanglement and made a silky throw to the inside. Take action
""Shua..."
Hollow hit.
Randle picked up the ball and quickly passed it to Su Hao at the baseline. He rushed to the top of the arc without stopping.
He used Jokic's pick-and-roll to bypass Dragic and enter the inside. Bosh quickly pushed forward.
Su Hao didn't give him any face at all. He pushed the Dragon King away with all his strength and directly made a floater.
"Swish……"
"answer ball!"
The Heat's rhythm did not intend to stop. Dragic also quickly rushed to the frontcourt, but unfortunately he was pestered by defender Su Hao and almost dropped the ball.
An emergency back pass was passed to Wade in the high post. Facing Kobe's defense
"Old man, can you still keep up with me now?"
"With a"swish", Wade broke through, passed Kobe's defense in one step, and made an emergency mid-range shot again.
Heat fans began to cheer.
Su Hao handed over to Jokic, who was supporting him in the high post, and looked left and right to wait for his teammates to move.
Kobe and Clarkson crossed paths, and Kobe ran into the penalty area. Jokic raised his long arm and passed the ball directly to Kobe's hands, jamming Wade behind him, and made a reverse layup.
"Hmm... I didn't expect the Heat to be able to play against the Lakers. Sure enough, the Heat are still experienced and relatively stable."
O'Neal, who was watching the game with great interest, nodded.
Barkley was also very calm and added:"It seems that it is not yet time for Su Hao to control the overall situation.
In Wade's position, it seems that he has been eating Kobe, who has declined more seriously than himself. If the Lakers don't get rid of this defensive problem in time, it will be difficult for them."
Kobe, who has never missed a game this season, has also experienced many big battles, not to mention back-to-back games.
Kobe's physical fitness has also declined. With his age and accumulated injuries, Kobe is no longer invulnerable.
On the court.
After a few minutes of substitute struggle in the middle, the starting lineups of both sides returned to the court to fight again.
So far, neither side has gained a big advantage. The game is back and forth, but it is still entertaining.
It seems that no one can defend against the other.
There are 3 minutes and 13 seconds left in the third quarter.
Heat have the ball.
Su Hao, who wants the team to start the game on the right track, directly chooses to switch defense with Kobe and limit it by himself. Wade has a good touch.
Wade received the ball in the high position on the right side and prepared to teach this rookie whom he thought was a lesson. After several consecutive confrontations, he found that he was still motionless and even almost bounced back.
Suddenly he felt that he had hit a wall, so he was ready to change his strategy and turned around to pass Su Hao.
Su Hao grabbed the ball and snatched it away. With a roar, he was ready to counter-steal.
But Su Hao's speed was like lightning and he disappeared directly from his sight.
Su Hao rushed into the frontcourt and swung his arms, intending to swing them in a circle before dunking!
A one-handed big loop dunk in a defensive counterattack
"Su Hao's decision to switch defense was quite good!"
Dragic dribbled the ball over again and saw Wade being entangled by Su Hao, who had no chance to catch the ball.
He passed the ball to Luol Deng at the top of the arc on the right side, and then passed the ball to Bosh under the basket.
Su Hao quickly assisted in defense and made a full contribution on the defensive end.
Under the double team of Su Hao and Jokic, Bosh held the ball firmly in his abdomen, but unfortunately he hit his foot when he was about to pass the ball and made a mistake and went out of bounds.
Then Su Hao made another layup against Wade.
The Heat's offensive strategy this time was correct, but it was a pity that they met Su Hao.
Dragic received the ball and waited for Bosh's pick-and-roll, and Jokic quickly followed up to defend Dragic.
After Bosh's pick-and-roll, he quickly went down. Seeing this, Su Hao also quickly defended and blocked Bosh's offensive route.
A confident offensive method of playing with a big man against a small man emerged in Bosh's mind.
Su Hao was directly confronted with a strong confrontation, and Su Hao also held his breath and used all his strength to resist Bosh's strong attack.
Bosh's continuous back-to-back attacks were in vain again, and Su Hao remained motionless like a little giant.
But his strength was not enough to make up for his height. Bosh, who was in good shape tonight, chose to shoot a mid-range shot or a floater to complete this big-to-small attack.
Just as he was about to shoot, Su Hao's finger poked the basketball, and Bosh directly made a three-pointer.
Jokic grabbed the rebound, and made a precise long pass to Kobe who was running forward with a layup.
Su Hao's excellent defense made the two commentators look at him with admiration, and also stunned the Heat fans instantly.
Because they didn't want to believe that this was the defensive level of a guard.
O'Neal directly exclaimed:"Continuously defending Dwyane and Chris, Su Hao's defense in these waves is very tough, it is the level of DPOY!
I really want to feel his strength and want to confront him!"
Barkley also echoed:"To be honest, I want to too.
I remember that the last guard who won DPOY was the one with the glove, and it was mainly for steals, but Su Hao relied on his strength and his incredible blocking ability."After three quarters, the Lakers led by 13 points, with a full advantage.
