Chapter 612 Su Hao's Absence, Bynum Rises?

Su Hao watched all of this with a cold eye. He stood calmly in place, his eyes fixed on the constantly changing numbers on the timer.

As time ticked by, and the timer was about to reach its final two seconds, the atmosphere on set became extremely tense.

At that very moment, Su Hao suddenly moved!

He jumped up quickly, and the basketball in his hand flew out at an extremely tricky angle.

At the same time, the three players who were originally surrounding him also jumped up in an attempt to interfere with Su Hao's shot in mid-air.

However, a shocking scene unfolded!

Despite the three players' best efforts in jumping, their jump height was worlds apart from Su Hao's.

They couldn't reach the height where Su Hao was at all.

The basketball hurtled through the air, its trajectory resembling a graceful and fluid arc, precisely heading towards the basket.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, the basketball landed perfectly and steadily in the basket.

With Su Hao's brilliant shot going in, the clock showed only 30 seconds remaining in the second quarter.

At this moment, the Lakers have their last precious opportunity to launch an offensive.

Seeing this, the Lakers' head coach made a decisive move and called a timeout without hesitation.

After all, those last few dozen seconds had become a life-or-death moment for them in this quarter of the game.

If this attack fails to work and they can't get the ball into the basket to score, then they will probably have no choice but to give up on the game.

Thinking about this, both the Lakers players and the coach himself felt an indescribable sense of frustration.

Thinking back to the last time the two teams met, the battle was not this fierce.

Meanwhile, the Lakers players, who had returned to the sidelines, quickly gathered around their coach.

The Lakers' coach, holding a whiteboard, focused intently and seriously on explaining and outlining the upcoming tactical arrangements to his players.

However, just as everyone was preparing to go back onto the court to continue the game, something unexpected happened: the Clippers' head coach suddenly made a decision that was quite different from what was expected.

With a smile on his face, he waved gently in Su Hao's direction and called out loudly, "Su Hao, you can rest for the next few dozen seconds. You don't need to go on the field!"

The person speaking was none other than Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mike Dunleavy pointed to Aldridge standing to the side, his eyes conveying a clear message: Aldridge should replace Su Hao in the game.

Faced with this arrangement, Su Hao remained quite calm, simply replying, "Okay!"

He then turned and walked to the bench, where he slowly sat down.

Almost at the same instant, the referee blew the whistle, ending the timeout.

In the preceding stages of the game, the Clippers had successfully built a huge lead of more than 20 points thanks to their excellent teamwork.

Perhaps for this reason, the Clippers' head coach intentionally kept Su Hao, who was in excellent form, on the bench for the time being, and instead sent Aldridge back into the game.

As soon as this scene unfolded, both the many fans at the stadium and the viewers watching the game on TV or online immediately understood that the Clippers were clearly planning to throw the game once again.

"Coach, look, they're not letting Su Hao play? Are they deliberately creating opportunities for us?" Lakers' star player Bynum turned around in surprise and asked his head coach loudly.

Upon hearing this, the Lakers' head coach quickly focused his attention on the center of the court. Upon closer inspection, he found that Su Hao, who should have been on the court, was now sitting comfortably on the bench, and Aldridge had taken his place.

Curry led a group of Clippers players onto the court to continue the game.

"Their decision not to target Su Hao gives us a better offensive opportunity, doesn't it?" Fisher said to his teammates with a smile.

The Lakers' head coach didn't say anything, but turned around and exchanged a few words with the assistant coach behind him.

The two sides continued the game.

As soon as the whistle blew, Gasol stood firmly outside the three-point line, his eyes intently searching for his teammates.

With a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew towards Kobe's direction.

At that moment, Kobe turned around and quickly caught the pass from Gasol.

The moment he received the ball, Gordon closed in like a shadow, launching a tight frontal defense.

However, Kobe, a veteran of countless battles, showed no sign of backing down.

Kobe skillfully dribbled the ball, gradually approaching the free-throw line.

When he reached that crucial position, the entire stadium seemed to fall silent, and all eyes were on him.

In the blink of an eye, Kobe suddenly jumped, leaning back as his arm shot high, the basketball flying from his fingertips. For a moment, time seemed to freeze; all people could see was the basketball tracing a beautiful arc through the air, hurtling straight towards the basket.

Unfortunately, this seemingly perfect fadeaway jump shot missed its target, the basketball bouncing off the edge of the rim. However, the real excitement was just beginning!

Aldridge and Bynum, who had just replaced Su Hao, were already waiting in the paint, fighting desperately for this precious rebound.

The two bodies collided violently, neither giving way.

After a fierce battle, Bynum managed to grab the rebound.

He shouted excitedly, then passed the ball to Kobe, who was quickly following up, without hesitation.

Kobe was full of confidence after receiving the ball.

With a wide spin, he easily dodged the opposing player's defense, then leaped high and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.

With a loud "bang," the entire stadium erupted in cheers.

The audience cheered and applauded Kobe's outstanding performance.

But at the same time, many people secretly sighed.

If Su Hao were guarding the basket right now, this situation probably wouldn't have happened at all!

After all, Su Hao is the team's anchor in the paint; with him on the court, the rebounds will definitely be firmly in their hands.

It's a pity that now... sigh!

"It looks like Kobe's ability. If we had given him every ball, we wouldn't be down by so many points now!" Coach Zhang said excitedly.
