Chapter 99
After the game
"Yang Yi from the United States"A·
Smith found Su Hao and said with a smile:"Congratulations, Su Hao, you led the team to victory with another crazy performance.
You shut out Russell in a single quarter and scored 58 points. In a critical moment, you scored 5 points in a single offensive round and also made a buzzer-beater assist.
As a rookie, you are really outstanding!
But......I want to ask you, on that last play, you could have obviously taken the ball yourself, not only could you have scored a milestone-level 60 points in a single game, but you also had a high probability of leading the team to victory.
But why did you choose to pass the ball in the end?"
"Well..."
Su Hao thought about it and said truthfully:"Because we were double-teamed too much and had no chance to attack, and Kobe had a chance on the outside.
So,
I gave it to him.
And......Compared with 2 points, I still hope to use a 3-pointer to kill the game directly and win this victory steadily."
"This is true"
A·Smith nodded and smiled:"Kobe's buzzer-beating 3-pointer was also very crucial, but it was really difficult. Fortunately, Kobe hit that 3-pointer.
Your 5 seconds and 5 minutes, Kobe's buzzer-beating 3-pointer." As totems of old and new Los Angeles, you two finally joined forces to defeat the Thunder tonight!"
"Thanks!"
Su Hao smiled slightly.
And A. Smith then asked:"Actually, Kevin, who transformed into the"God of Death" tonight, his performance at the last moment was really amazing.
I would like to know.
Faced with so much pressure, as a rookie, how did you withstand the pressure and finally complete the counter-attack to win?"
"Well......"
Su Hao thought for a while, then laughed and joked,"I think we can snatch a victory from the God of Death tonight. It's not because of how strong the God of Death is. It's because of how strong the God of Death is.......Because the Grim Reaper's feet were so big, that gave us the best chance to turn things around, and we took advantage of it."
"Hahaha!"
A·Smith laughed.
He watched the whole game and knew what Su Hao meant. He then said,"That three-pointer was indeed a big turning point in the game.
It seems that the Thunder has the help of the God of Death, and you Lakers also have the help of the Goddess of Luck.
Okay, thank you for accepting the interview. I hope you and the Lakers can perform better in the next schedule."
"We will try our best!"
The interview ended.
Su Hao returned to the locker room with the Lakers players and continued to celebrate for a while before everyone left with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
Tonight, this duel of hovering on the edge of the cliff and dodging under the scythe of the Grim Reaper ended in victory.
That was undoubtedly a great feeling for the Lakers.
However, as the only MVP player who contributed a near-game-winning assist tonight, Su Hao was not very happy after winning.
Nearing midnight,
Su Hao returned to the villa, leaned on the sofa, and fell into deep thought.
"This year's Thunder team is very strong, but......We are definitely not strong enough to compete for the championship.
However, playing against such a team, even though I shut out Westbrook in the first quarter, we still won by one point with a buzzer beater.
Moreover, the process was quite thrilling.
Although it was refreshing to win in this way and the game effect was maximized, it actually revealed the true strength of the Lakers now.
In fact, we are far from being able to compete for the championship.
And for me, it is still far from enough, especially in terms of shooting. I could easily score 60+ points tonight.
However,
I also missed some shots under good opportunities.
The last attack was also, if I had a shot, facing those defenses standing under the basket waiting for me to rush, I could easily end the offense with a mid-range shot.
With my violent physical fitness, I don’t have to kill the game with three-pointers like Curry.
However, if I want to be more aggressive, more deterrent, and better lead the Lakers to victory, I must have a certain mid-range shooting ability. I can’t always rely on Kobe, who is in his retirement year, to carry the game at critical moments, right?!"
Thinking of this,
Su Hao further explained the disadvantage of not being able to shoot. He narrowed his eyes and said,"It seems that the side quest of completing 11 dunks in a single game must be completed as soon as possible.......【"Son of the Wind" Nash’s mid-range shooting ability】"......
The next day.
Last night, the Lakers and Thunder had a thrilling battle, and fans undoubtedly had a wide discussion on Twitter.
"Rookie Su Hao scored 58 points in a single game. In one offensive round, he scored 5 points in a row and even made an assist for the final victory. Who else?!"
"Tsk tsk...This is the"rookie ceiling", is this what the"Son of Universe" is capable of? Love it, love it"
"The much-anticipated matchup between Su Hao and Russell ended with Su Hao shutting out Westbrook in a single quarter. I think......Su Hao has earned the title of"Defender Nightmare".
No objection, right?!"
"Su Haoqiang, that is inevitable, but......With 58 points in a single game, if they can get 2 more points, they can reach the 60-point mark.
It seems that there is only a 2-point gap.
In fact, the gap between the two is as insurmountable as a chasm!"
"Yes, what a pity!"
"Haha, with Su Hao's strength, what's the difference of 2 points, three melons and two dates? Becoming Mr. 60 points is inevitable, it’s just a matter of time.
No need to force it.
That day will come soon!"
"That's true. Su Hao, who has a monstrous talent, can easily get a high score in a game."
"After talking about Su Hao, I have to praise our department's buzzer-beating 3-pointer. He was as domineering and free as ever!"
"really"
"U1S1, the arrival of Su Hao has taken a lot of offensive pressure off Kobe, and also allowed Kobe to play more calmly and efficiently.
Season so far.
Kobe averaged 20 points per game, which does not seem very high, but in the field of shooting percentage, his 2-point shooting percentage was 37.3% last season, which increased to 44% this season.
The 3-point shooting percentage of 29.3% last season has also improved to 36.1% this season, which is close to the career season high of 39.3%.
Because of Su Hao.
Kobe is playing more efficiently and more easily this season, and in this way, maybe even if he has a ruptured Achilles tendon, even if he has many minor injuries.
I still think......He can stay in this league for a while longer."
"really"
"For Kobe, for the 37-year-old"Black Mamba", we don't expect him to return to his peak, and we don't expect him to score 30+ or 40+ points in every game.
I just hope he can play a few more games on the court so that we, as Comits, can see more of it."
"In short, Su Hao and Kobe Bryant of the Lakers performed very well last night.
As for the Thunder, I won't mention Westbrook's hip stretch, but Kevin, who scored 48 points and"death came" at the critical moment, performed really well. to be honest.
Because of Kevin's critical moment, the Thunder had victory in their hands for the second time, but they still lost and fell short!
You have to say that Su Hao performed very well.
There is no problem.
But I still want to say that Du Shaobei was defeated by his own big feet, if his 54-yard big feet were one size smaller and did not touch the line.
Then tonight's news headlines may be a different story.
Maybe it is......《The Thunder ended the Lakers' 13-game winning streak, Durant scored 48 points and successfully drank Scarlett's bath water!》"
"Hahaha, indeed, only one point, only one yard away.
I want to say......This is the closest that Kevin Durant, the"God of Death", has ever been to drinking Scarlett Johansson's bath water!!!"
