It seems Curry wants to widen the score gap quickly and then secure a spot on the bench.
During their conversation...
Head coach Mike Dunleavy approached Su Hao with a smile and said, "We still need you to play in the third quarter. We don't need to waste too much time against such a weak team. After this game, we have to rush back to Los Angeles to prepare for the back-to-back games tomorrow night!"
After tonight's game, the Clippers will face another back-to-back game.
Fortunately, the next match is at home, which gave them some consolation.
"Coach! Why is our schedule so tight? I remember we already had a back-to-back game before, how come we have another one so soon!" Curry exclaimed.
Curry clearly didn't know the full schedule of the season, which is why he did that.
Hearing Curry's words, head coach Mike Dunleavy smiled and explained, "That's how the schedule is arranged; every team faces this situation. Besides, these are back-to-back opponents, and they're not very strong. As long as we play normally, we should be able to handle it easily." He then patted Curry on the shoulder, encouraging him, "Believe in yourself; you're one of our team's best players." Curry nodded, but still felt some apprehension.
After all, playing continuously is a huge test of a player's physical strength and condition.
However, as a professional player, he knew he had to adapt to this tight schedule.
At the same time, Su Hao secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, I have the system's help, which allows me to quickly recover my strength.
Otherwise, he might feel overwhelmed by the frequency of matches.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel hopeful for the future.
As the competition progresses, he believes his performance will improve and he will become an indispensable member of the team.
For Curry, although he knew that back-to-back games were not easy, he also understood that this was a good opportunity to prove his strength.
Only by not backing down in the face of difficulties can one truly become a great player.
Therefore, he decided to go all out and lead the team to victory.
"Didn't you read our season schedule?! We have three back-to-back games this season, and this is only the second one! You guys need to be prepared. This is the league's arrangement, and if you have any objections, you can appeal to the league!" Mike Dunleavy said somewhat helplessly.
He knew that such a dense schedule was indeed a challenge for the team, but it was also a league rule that could not be changed.
Su Hao smiled after hearing this: "All the matches are played the same way, there's nothing to panic about! I actually hope all the matches are played back-to-back!" He joked easily, showing his confidence and optimism about his physical abilities.
Mike Dunleavy was amused by Su Hao's words and laughed, saying, "If we all play together, even if you can handle it, the other players definitely won't be able to! You're really cunning!"
The two exchanged a smile, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
With the third quarter about to begin, players from both sides gradually returned to the court.
The Lynx's beautiful cheerleaders finished their wonderful performance and began to leave the stage.
At this point, the Clippers were still fielding their full starting lineup, while the Bobcats had also sent out all their starters. Clearly, they did not want to give up on the game easily and wanted to continue to put pressure on their opponents.
Amid cheers from the audience, the game restarted.
Both teams quickly got into the game.
The game begins, and Augustin receives the ball beyond the three-point line, preparing to launch an attack.
He received the pass from Maggette and a surge of confidence welled up inside him.
However, Gordon, the defender in front of him, stayed close behind, giving Augustin no chance whatsoever.
Augustin made several feints, but he couldn't shake off Gordon's defense no matter what he did.
Augustine felt somewhat frustrated as his feints were repeatedly seen through.
He knew that if he wanted to break through to the basket, he would have to face more defensive pressure.
The defensive intensity under the basket is not something an average person can withstand, and he doesn't want to try it lightly.
So he decided to continue looking for better opportunities.
Augustine observed the situation on the field, looking for open spaces for his teammates.
He knew that teamwork was the key to victory.
Finally, he found an excellent opportunity to pass the ball and passed it without hesitation.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air and landed precisely in Wall's hands.
This brilliant pass elicited cheers and applause from his teammates on the sidelines.
Although this attack did not result in a direct score, Augustin demonstrated excellent ball control and teamwork.
However, when Wall received the ball, he still didn't have much space to pass it out against Rasul Butler's defense.
Wall tried to fool Rasul Butler with a feint, but the latter saw through his plan.
With little time left on the shot clock, Wall had no choice but to jump and shoot.
The moment the ball was released, the teammates on the sidelines held their breath.
However, luck didn't seem to be on Wall's side, and the basketball bounced off the rim.
Unsurprisingly, Su Hao successfully grabbed the rebound again.
Su Hao quickly passed the ball to Curry, initiating a fast break!
The opposing players quickly retreated to defend, but their pace was still a bit slow.
Curry received the ball and sprinted to the basket, leaping high to prepare for a layup.
Just then, Bobcats center Diop suddenly burst out, stretched out his arm, and swatted the ball away with a powerful block.
The ball flew out of bounds and landed right in Su Hao's hands.
Without hesitation, he jumped up and shot the ball toward the basket.
The basketball spun around the rim a few times before finally falling into it.
A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the sidelines. Su Hao smiled as he looked at the basketball lying on the ground.
At that moment, the entire stadium seemed to erupt in cheers.
Su Hao's teammates rushed over and gave him high-fives in celebration.
The opponents shook their heads helplessly, knowing that they had lost the match decisively.
Even though they desperately wanted to win the game, unfortunately, they were completely powerless against Su Hao's offense and defense.
When Su Hao shot the three-pointer, the defender in front of him, Maggette, was doing his best to interfere with Su Hao's shot.
However, even though he used all his skills, it was all in vain.
All he could do was watch as Su Hao successfully put the ball into the basket with his teammates.
"Su Hao, when did your outside shooting become so accurate? We're completely convinced this game; with you on the court, there was absolutely no chance for us to win!" Maggette exclaimed.
Su Hao did not respond directly, but turned around and joined the defense.
John Wall still had the ball for the Bobcats.
