515 Su Hao's step-back shot!
After receiving a pass from his teammate, Bonner confidently began to post up Su Hao.
He used all his strength to ram the other person several times in succession, but to his surprise, the other person's position did not change at all.
He himself was already panting heavily, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle.
After all, he was just a substitute player, and he was already panting heavily so soon; it was really embarrassing.
Looking at his opponent, Su Hao couldn't help but smile and tease, "Hey, buddy, what's wrong with you? You've only been on the field for less than a minute and you're already panting? Is it because I'm too strong? Haha, I think you should go and rest instead of wasting your time here!"
Bonner felt incredibly aggrieved by Su Hao's merciless teasing.
He muttered to himself, "How can this guy be so strong that I can't budge him at all?"
However, Bonner did not give up. Since he could not overcome the obstacle, he chose another strategy - a step-back shot.
However, the moment Bonner turned and jumped to shoot, Su Hao had already seen through his intention.
Su Hao swiftly reached out and firmly placed his palm on the basketball, like a cheetah seizing its prey.
Bonner stared wide-eyed at the basketball that Su Hao was holding tightly, feeling utterly defeated.
He originally thought he could easily score with this shot, but he didn't expect Su Hao's defense to be so tight that he couldn't find any openings.
Su Hao's face was beaming with a smug smile, as if he were showing off his strength and excellent defensive skills to Bonner.
If Duncan hadn't already accumulated three fouls, Bonner probably wouldn't have been substituted in so early.
Now that he has taken the field, it must mean that he has earned the deep trust of head coach Popovich.
In the contest of strength between the two, Su Hao successfully gained control of the basketball.
He then made a quick decision and passed the ball to Curry, who was not far away.
After receiving the ball, Curry immediately sprinted towards the frontcourt like an arrow.
Su Hao, on the other hand, seemed rather relaxed, as if he were strolling in the rain, and did not rush forward as quickly as before to participate in the fast attack.
Parker blocked Curry's path, attempting to stop his attack.
However, just as Su Hao leisurely walked to the top of the arc, Curry did not hesitate to hand the ball to Su Hao.
The Spurs players immediately tensed up when they saw Su Hao receive the ball.
They knew Su Hao was about to launch another attack from beyond the three-point line, and their hearts tightened.
Bonner, positioned under the basket, was on high alert, bracing himself in a defensive stance with his eyes fixed on Su Hao.
He knew that Su Hao's explosiveness and speed were top-notch, and it would be difficult to stop his attack unless he went all out.
However, just when everyone was expecting Su Hao to complete another one-man fast break dunk, Su Hao suddenly slowed down.
Instead of rushing towards the basket as everyone expected, he dribbled the ball slowly, seemingly deep in thought.
This move surprised both the audience and the Spurs players.
They originally thought Su Hao would attack the basket without hesitation, but now it seems he has other plans.
"What exactly is this guy trying to do?" someone asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, is he tired?" another person guessed.
At this moment, Su Hao's eyes became unusually firm.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the basket, as if searching for the best time to shoot.
Finally, when he was still some distance from the basket, Su Hao suddenly jumped up, raised the ball high, and then threw it forcefully towards the basket.
This shot, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, carried boundless power and hope, heading straight for the basket.
The Spurs players stared wide-eyed as the basketball traced a beautiful arc through the air.
Finally, the basketball landed perfectly in the basket, making a crisp sound as it went in.
The entire stadium fell into a deathly silence, followed by a deafening roar of cheers.
The audience stood up and applauded and cheered for Su Hao.
The Spurs players were stunned; they never expected Su Hao to choose such a way to end the attack.
"Incredible!" someone exclaimed.
“This guy is a genius!” another person exclaimed.
However, at that moment, Su Hao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.
He turned around, seemingly ready to defend.
Just moments ago, everyone was speculating about Su Hao's next move. Most people thought he would rush towards the basket with all his might, but Su Hao's actions surprised everyone—he actually chose to take a mid-range shot!
This choice was unexpected, as mid-range shooting has always been one of Su Hao's weaknesses.
"Shouldn't you be coming up to the basket for a dunk? Why are you shooting mid-range shots? Are you afraid of breaking the rim?" Bonner stared intently at Su Hao with a serious expression.
Su Hao did not respond to him at all.
It wasn't that Su Hao didn't want to respond to him, he just didn't care.
He can dunk over his opponent's head again and again whenever he wants.
The Spurs reorganized their offense.
After Parker brought the ball up the court, facing a double team from Gordon and Curry, he immediately passed the ball to Ginobili.
As the player with the best shooting touch on the team, he hasn't taken a shot for several minutes.
After receiving the ball, Ginobili faced Paul George's direct defense.
After a series of tentative shots, he finally opted for a step-back jumper.
The basketball flew over Paul George's head and towards the basket.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the basketball bounced a few times on the rim.
Ultimately, it failed to go into the basket.
Another scramble for the rebound.
The rebound landed directly in front of Bonner.
For this offensive rebound that he was determined to win, he immediately reached out to grab it.
Before he could even touch the basketball, a large hand above his head snatched it away.
Before he could react, the ball had already landed in Curry's hands, who was not far away.
"Who stole my rebound!" Bonner roared in exasperation.
As Bonner turned around, trying to see who had just snatched the rebound right in front of him, Su Hao happened to pass by behind him.
“That’s right, I stole it!” Su Hao smiled and glanced at Bonner.
Upon hearing this, Bonner's eyes widened.
He clearly saw Su Hao two steps behind him just now.
In such a short time, they were able to snatch the rebound that was right in front of them!
This is absolutely incredible!
Thinking of this, Bonner couldn't help but shudder.
