NBA: The Hulk's talent has female celebrities going wild.
Chapter 342: Chapter 1 has already become garbage time!
Led by Su Hao, the Clippers demonstrated their strength and teamwork, widening the gap to an astonishing 27 points in just one quarter.
The Lakers were clearly unable to withstand such pressure; their defense was easily breached like paper, and their offense became completely disorganized.
The Lakers players, back on the bench, looked listless, their usual energy gone.
They knew the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt, but they were powerless to change the situation.
Faced with such a predicament, the Lakers' head coach could no longer contain his anger. He roared at his players, "You all better pull yourselves together! Even though this is just an insignificant preseason game, we can't afford to lose this badly!"
However, the players didn't seem to be motivated by the coach's anger; they remained immersed in the shadow of defeat, unable to pull themselves out. Looking at these listless players, the coach's anger intensified; he even slammed his tactical board to the ground to express his dissatisfaction.
However, this move did not elicit much of a reaction from the players, because they knew that no matter how hard they tried, they could not compete with the Clippers.
On the other side, the Clippers players appeared relaxed, exchanging smiles as if victory was already assured.
For them, this is not just a victory in a game, but also an affirmation of their own strength.
"Su Hao, don't play in the second quarter! I don't think the Clippers have any chance of turning this around. Just treat it as preseason practice! What do you think?" The head coach stepped forward and smiled at Su Hao. "I have no objection!" Su Hao said, already draping a towel over his teammate's arm.
The Lakers' collapse in this game was entirely their own fault.
They didn't use their three big men lineup to limit Su Hao, completely abandoning the inside game and only fielding Odom!
I really don't know if it's underestimating the Clippers or because it's just a preseason game.
"Damn it! How could we lose so badly?" Clarkson said, looking frustrated. He felt his performance today was terrible, and he hadn't performed to his usual standard at all.
"Alright, everyone, don't be discouraged. We still have many opportunities to win back," the head coach comforted them. Although he was also disappointed, he knew it was just a warm-up match, and the win or loss wasn't important. The key was to get the players into form and prepare for the new season.
The second quarter officially began with the referee's whistle.
Su Hao sat leisurely on the bench, holding a thermos in both hands. The steam rising from the thermos seemed to emanate a warm glow. Upon closer inspection, it appeared to contain some small red fruits—could they be goji berries? It was truly astonishing that Su Hao, at such a young age, already understood the ways of health and wellness.
On the court at that moment, Curry showcased his unstoppable three-point shooting ability. He hit multiple consecutive long-range three-pointers, each shot like a lightning bolt streaking across the sky, leaving his opponents helpless. Curry's performance was a visual feast, captivating the audience.
The Lakers tried to close the gap, but Curry gave them no chance.
His three-pointers rained down, completely tearing apart the Lakers' defense.
Every shot was so accurate and decisive that it was truly admirable.
This game, initially highly anticipated and considered a key matchup in the city derby, turned into a one-sided massacre by the Clippers against the Lakers. The Clippers players showcased their skill and talent, while the Lakers struggled, unable to find effective counter-attacks.
Seeing the Lakers suffer such a crushing defeat, the audience shook their heads and sighed, their faces showing disappointment and frustration.
They had expected this game to be a fierce contest, but reality proved harsh, with the Lakers offering almost no resistance.
With the end of the second quarter, the Lakers were down by a full thirty-five points to the Clippers.
However, in the final minutes, Curry missed several three-pointers in a row, giving the Lakers a chance to catch their breath.
Nevertheless, they still lost by thirteen points in this quarter, further widening the gap.
After halftime, the players from both sides returned to the locker room to rest.
Commentator Miller quipped, "The Lakers shouldn't have lost so badly this season! It's just a preseason game, so let's just treat it as entertainment."
Barkley responded with a smile, "Looks like the Clippers have a chance to win the championship again this season!"
This preseason game once again made people realize how strong the Clippers are.
Su Hao, in particular, proved his dominance in the paint with an unstoppable performance.
Although other teams have strengthened their frontcourts during the offseason, whether they can truly contain Su Hao remains to be seen. Hearing Curry's comment, Su Hao laughed and said, "Yeah, I really don't need to play. Our advantage is already big enough."
He turned to look at the court and, seeing the Lakers' roster, couldn't help but shake his head: "The Lakers really aren't planning on playing seriously today! Kobe, Gasol, and Bynum aren't here; they've only sent Odom. What does that mean?"
Curry shrugged: "Maybe they don't think this game is important and don't want their key players to get injured. After all, preseason games are just warm-up games; they're more focused on their regular season performance."
Su Hao nodded, indicating his understanding.
He knew the Lakers were doing this to protect their key players' physical condition and ensure they were in better form during the regular season. And as the defending champions, the Clippers weren't so easily defeated! The Lakers' idea of trying to compete with the Clippers using role players was completely unrealistic.
However, Su Hao still found the Lakers' head coach's arrangements somewhat strange.
If they don't intend to take this game seriously, why make these role players play so hard? Perhaps their coach has other ideas, such as wanting to see how the newly acquired players perform on the field, or testing the team's tactical coordination.
However, this approach seems unfair to those role players who work hard.
The Clippers didn't make many changes during the offseason, except for selecting a few rookie players in the draft.
The team's overall roster remains unchanged.
After all, having just won the championship, there is absolutely no need to make too many changes to the team.
Even developing new players is completely unnecessary.
