The Clippers, however, did not intend to replace all their key players, as they did not want any further surprises in the game.

Ultimately, after obtaining Su Hao's consent, it was decided that he would lead a few substitute players to continue playing in the fourth quarter.

The pause ends.

The game continued in the fourth quarter.

When Su Hao returned to the court, the entire Bulls team was in an uproar.

"The Clippers are ruthless! They're leading by so much, and they're still keeping Su Hao on the court? Doesn't he need a rest?" Boozer exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, all the Bulls players and coaching staff looked towards the court.

Seeing Su Hao actually come on the field, they couldn't help but feel a little worried for the substitute players who had just come on.

I originally wanted to use the last bit of downtime to practice some drills.

As a result, the Clippers continued to send Su Hao back into the game without any regard for reason.

There's no way to play inside anymore, so we can only continue playing outside.

However, these are the Bulls' substitutes who don't usually get many opportunities to play.

Facing the Clippers' bench lineup led by Su Hao, their strength and experience were clearly insufficient.

On offense, they were unable to effectively break through Su Hao's defense, relying solely on outside shooting for points, but their accuracy was low. On defense, they were also unable to stop Su Hao's offense, allowing him to score easily inside.

Soon, the score gap widened further.

As the game progressed, the Bulls' bench players gradually lost confidence and their performance deteriorated.

Su Hao consistently grabbed rebounds on the court, assisting teammates or initiating attacks himself.

To help the team extend its lead.

By the second half of the fourth quarter, the score difference between the two teams had reached as much as 35 points.

At that moment, Su Hao signaled to the referee to request a timeout and conveyed to the head coach that he needed to leave the field to rest.

Mike Dunleavy accepted Su Hao's suggestion without hesitation and quickly substituted him with Aldridge.

With Su Hao off the court, the Bulls players breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew that if Su Hao continued to stay on the court, the score gap could widen to more than 50 points in the next half of the game.

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Bulls, affecting not only team morale but also potentially causing them to lose confidence when facing the Clippers in the future.

"Su Hao actually asked to leave the court for a rest? I wanted to keep watching him play! I wonder what kind of stats he'll put up after this game," Su Qun said with a smile.

Yang Yi, standing nearby, remarked, "It's good that they're off the court now, otherwise the Bulls players would have really collapsed. You could tell just by looking at the expressions on their bench." As he spoke, Yang Yi pointed to the Bulls' bench in the live stream.

Everyone's face looked like a wilted eggplant, listless and dejected.

His eyes were filled with despair and helplessness, as if he had lost all hope.

They never imagined that they would lose the game so badly today.

Keep in mind that they had never lost a game before facing the Clippers!

Before the game, the Bulls players were all brimming with confidence.

I felt confident that I could win the game, and even if I didn't, I thought I wouldn't lose so badly.

Who would have thought that the game wouldn't even be over before they suffered a crushing defeat?

The entire fourth quarter became garbage time, with no suspense whatsoever.

It's hard to imagine that a team aiming for the championship could lose so miserably.

"Actually, it's okay for the Bulls to lose. Anyway, they're in the East, and they won't face the Clippers so early in the playoffs. As long as they adjust their form and take it seriously, they might even get the runner-up title!" Coach Zhang said with a smile.

Indeed, the Bulls are an Eastern Conference team, while the Clippers are a Western Conference team. Unless they meet in the Finals, the two teams are unlikely to meet.

Therefore, the Bulls still have a chance to perform well in other games and strive for better results.

However, it remains to be seen whether the Bulls can emerge from the Eastern Conference under Rose's leadership.

After all, the East also has formidable opponents such as the newly formed Miami Heat with their Big Three and the formidable Boston Celtics, teams that are not easy to defeat.

Time ticked by, and finally, the final whistle blew to end the match.

The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Chicago Bulls by a huge margin of 133-98.

In this game, Su Hao performed exceptionally well, contributing an astonishing 68 points, 26 rebounds, 15 assists, and 10 blocks.

He created a massive triple-double performance, and he rightfully became the best player of the game.

After the game, as is customary, Su Hao returned to the center of the court.

The media swarmed around Su Hao.

"Su Hao, your performance today was absolutely amazing! How did you do it?"

"Thank you, this is the result of the team's hard work. My teammates are all excellent and they have given me a lot of support."

"But your individual stats are truly amazing: 68 points, 26 rebounds, 15 assists, and 10 blocks—a quadruple-double! How did you do that?"

Su Hao smiled and said, "I just try my best to play well in every game. Statistics are not the most important thing. Victory is our goal."

"Can you still put up such incredible stats and lead the team to victory in the upcoming away games?"

"I will give it my all. Don't you want me to achieve these stats?"

Faced with Su Hao's question, the reporter was slightly embarrassed, because he knew that achieving such data was not difficult for Su Hao.

After the interview, Su Hao returned to the locker room.

Su Hao walked into the locker room, and his teammates applauded.

He smiled and responded to everyone, then sat down and began to change his clothes.

At this moment, the coach walked in, patted Su Hao on the shoulder and said, "Well done, Su Hao! However, the upcoming away game will not be easy, so we need to stay vigilant."

Su Hao nodded, indicating that he understood.

He knew that away games would be challenging, but he was confident he could lead the team to victory.

The teammates gathered around, encouraging each other.

They believe that under Su Hao's leadership, the team will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties.

After packing their gear, Su Hao and his teammates immediately boarded a private jet to head to their next away game.

This time, their opponent is the Houston Rockets.

Everyone is familiar with the Rockets.

However, the Rockets are currently in a rebuilding phase.

Yao Ming, whom everyone used to know, has already announced his retirement this summer.

Facing the Clippers on the road, they are already prepared to give up.

Because they knew that beating the Clippers was completely impossible.

It's better to just give up, lose the game early, and try to finish at the bottom of the season standings. If you're lucky, you might even get the number one draft pick!
