Chapter 634 Su Hao Takes the Stage!
The Celtics' head coach quickly spoke up to calm the players' restless emotions and gave them instructions.
After hearing the head coach's words, all the players nodded to show they understood, and then adjusted their state to prepare for the official start of the third quarter.
As the referee blew the whistle, both teams quickly returned to the court to prepare for the third quarter.
Su Hao deftly took off his training clothes, revealing his tight and firm muscle lines.
After exchanging high-fives with his teammates, he stepped onto the court together.
The moment Su Hao appeared, all eyes were on him, and everyone couldn't help but gasp in amazement!
It turns out Su Hao really decided to play!
However, there were also some voices of concern among the crowd.
"Is Su Hao playing this game with an injury? It seems the Clippers are willing to sacrifice their players' health in order to extend their winning streak!"
"Not necessarily! Look at Su Hao's demeanor when he came on; he showed no signs of injury whatsoever!"
"Based on my years of understanding of Su Hao, he's not the kind of person who's easily defeated by pain! Don't forget, he's the tough guy known as the 'Hulk,' with a body of steel!"
For a moment, the fans on the sidelines were discussing it and expressing their opinions.
On the other hand, when the Celtics players and coaches saw Su Hao appear on the court, they did feel a little flustered.
Because they knew how formidable this man was—once, in the first quarter of a game, Su Hao alone had put their team in a disadvantageous situation, trailing by more than twenty points.
Facing such a formidable opponent again, the Celtics are feeling unprecedented pressure.
Having fully recovered, Su Hao is determined to get revenge for the injuries he suffered before.
At this moment, without a doubt, he will unleash his scoring prowess without reservation, making those who once injured him suffer.
Just as everyone was whispering and discussing, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew precisely into Su Hao's hands.
It turned out that David Lee was quick-witted and passed the ball to them in time.
Upon receiving the ball, Su Hao instantly became the focus of the entire arena. Standing in front of him was an impenetrable defensive line formed by Pierce and O'Neal.
However, Su Hao showed no fear. With a nimble step back, he leaped high into the air like a spring, and the basketball in his hand shot out like a cannonball, flying straight toward the basket.
With a crisp "swish," the basketball swished through the net, a beautiful mid-range shot that found the net!
This goal was like a bombshell, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the entire stadium.
The audience erupted in thunderous cheers and applause, greatly boosting the morale of Su Hao's team, who established a powerful presence from the very beginning.
As the Celtics prepared to initiate the baseline play, Su Hao leisurely strolled back.
Seeing this, the Celtics players couldn't help but wonder if Su Hao's legs hadn't fully recovered and he was having some difficulty moving around.
This idea quickly spread in their minds, causing them to relax their defenses against Su Hao.
However, what happened next left everyone speechless.
When Rondo received the ball from his teammate on the baseline, he was about to use his superior speed to shake off Su Hao's defense.
He first made several quick crossover dribbles, then used a series of dazzling changes of direction, trying to confuse Su Hao and find an opportunity to break through.
However, no matter how hard Rondo tried, he could never shake off Su Hao, who was always by his side.
It turns out that Su Hao's seemingly slow pace, coupled with his judgment and amazing reaction speed, allowed him to accurately predict Rondo's next move and quickly make corresponding defensive adjustments.
Su Hao quickly moved to the outside and stuck close to Rondo.
His defense was airtight and watertight, leaving Rondo with absolutely no openings or opportunities to break through or pass the ball.
The Celtics' head coach, watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel a surge of tension and anxiety.
He knew that if Rondo was successfully contained, their team's carefully planned tactics could be severely affected.
At this moment, Rondo, who was standing outside the three-point line, noticed that Su Hao was not guarding the basket as usual, but had run to the outside to participate in the defense.
He keenly realized that this might be a rare opportunity for his side.
After all, when Su Hao left the paint, Shaquille O'Neal had excellent offensive space and opportunities under the basket.
Therefore, Rondo did not hesitate to pass the ball to the basket, hoping to break the deadlock by taking advantage of O'Neal's strong physique and excellent skills under the basket.
However, just as he was about to toss the ball high into the air and pass it over Su Hao to the basket, he was suddenly surprised to find that Su Hao was moving so fast!
In the blink of an eye, Su Hao had already rushed to the passing lane like lightning, as if he had already anticipated his intentions.
With only a few seconds left on the shot clock, Rondo had no choice but to change his mind and abandon his plan to pass the ball to the basket.
With lightning speed, he turned and forcefully threw the ball to his teammate Pierce, who wasn't too far away.
Pierce was slightly taken aback after receiving the ball, clearly not expecting it to be passed to him in this crucial final moment. He quickly glanced at the timer, his heart sinking: Good heavens, he only had so little time left to organize the offense!
Just as everyone was stunned, a dark figure rushed from the side like lightning. It was Su Hao!
He darted forward with lightning speed and accurately sliced the ball away.
Immediately afterwards, Su Hao dribbled the ball straight towards the frontcourt.
His incredible speed with the ball was astonishing; who would have thought that such a rapid performance came from someone who had just been injured?
At this moment, neither his teammates who were chasing closely behind him nor the Celtics players who were desperately returning to defense could catch up with Su Hao's pace.
In the blink of an eye, Su Hao had already brought the ball to a position just one step away from the free throw line.
Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped high into the air, his body stretching into a graceful arc.
Facing the basket, he unleashed a powerful windmill dunk.
With a loud "bang," the basketball was slammed into the hoop.
The powerful impact caused the rim to shake violently, as if it were about to fall to the ground at any moment.
