The atmosphere became tense when Harden missed a three-pointer.

However, at that moment, Su Hao demonstrated his excellent rebounding ability and easily secured the rebound.

He then passed the ball to Gordon on the outside without hesitation, who quickly dribbled forward after receiving the ball.

Westbrook tried his best to interfere, but the ball eventually landed steadily in Su Hao's hands.

The moment Su Hao received the pass from his teammate in the paint again, all the Thunder players widened their eyes, wishing they could rush up together to stop Su Hao from scoring.

Ibaka was the first to rush forward, joining Perkins in surrounding and blocking Su Hao.

But they underestimated Su Hao's strength and power. How could this player, known as the "Prehistoric Crocodile," be so easily stopped? With just a slight exertion, Su Hao easily pushed Ibaka and Perkins away.

Immediately afterwards, he leaped high and ended the attack with a stunning dunk.

Su Hao's offensive style was so direct and effective that his opponents had no way to counter it.

Ibaka, who had just been blaming Perkins for not playing hard enough on defense, now finally realized how terrifying Su Hao was.

Faced with such a powerful opponent, they felt helpless and could only watch as Su Hao scored recklessly on their rim.

But he could only watch helplessly, unable to stop the score in time.

Even though Ibaka and Perkins were prepared beforehand, their strength was far inferior to Su Hao's; Su Hao's power had completely exceeded their expectations.

But the Thunder can't worry about that now.

They urgently need to make up for their shortcomings in interior defense through effective offense.

With Westbrook holding the ball beyond the three-point line, he dared not drive recklessly into the paint anymore.

They can only hold the ball on the perimeter looking for opportunities, or look for teammates who have a chance to shoot.

Durant constantly moved around to find a suitable position to receive the ball.

While facing David Lee's persistent attacks, there wasn't a good opportunity to receive the ball for the time being.

The opportunity has presented itself to Harden once again.

Curry was guarding Harden.

Westbrook saw that Curry was mismatched against Harden and immediately passed the ball to him.

Harden did not shoot immediately after receiving the ball, but instead took a tentative shot.

It looks like he's trying to trick Curry into committing a foul.

Fortunately, Curry is also a shrewd player and saw through Harden's scheme.

He deliberately kept a certain distance from Harden while defending.

This way, although Harden couldn't easily break through, it gave him enough space to shoot.

Seeing this, Harden didn't hesitate to take the shot.

He jumped up quickly, raised the basketball high with both hands, and then pushed it hard. The basketball flew towards the basket in a beautiful arc.

At this moment, Curry's defensive position was far away, and Harden secretly rejoiced, feeling that the ball was bound to go in.

However, just when he thought victory was in sight, something unexpected happened—the basketball bounced out of the net after it fell in!

Harden stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.

Clearly, he lacked some luck this time.

Su Hao, Perkins, and Ibaka, all three players under the basket, jumped up almost simultaneously, all eager to grab the rebound.

In mid-air, the three inevitably collided.

As expected, Su Hao, with his superior physical abilities, successfully bounced Ibaka and Perkins away in mid-air. He firmly grasped this crucial rebound, leaving his opponents far behind.

After landing, Su Hao immediately passed the ball to Curry, who was waiting on the outside.

Harden immediately stepped forward to guard Curry.

The two seemed to be locked in a contest, neither willing to give in.

Seeing that Su Hao had established himself in the paint, Curry communicated with him through eye contact, indicating that he was going to shoot a three-pointer.

Su Hao nodded in agreement.

During the game, Curry received the ball, but he was tightly guarded by Harden and didn't have a good chance to shoot.

So he decided to use his teammate David Lee's screens to create space.

After Curry successfully shook off Harden, who was guarding him, he quickly adjusted his position and found a suitable shooting angle.

However, at that moment, Durant realized Curry's intention and immediately moved closer to Curry, trying to stop his shot.

But Curry was not affected by Durant's interference. He jumped and shot without hesitation, throwing the ball towards the basket.

Just as Durant was about to step in to help defend, Curry had already taken the shot.

The basketball traced a beautiful arc in the air before landing steadily in the basket.

This time, Su Hao no longer needed to engage in fierce physical battles with his opponents to fight for offensive rebounds, as he had done before.

Curry was visibly excited after scoring, even forgetting he was in the game, and instead held up three fingers to Harden to show that he had just made a three-pointer.

Faced with Curry's provocation, Harden could only manage a helpless wry smile. Meanwhile, Ibaka quickly picked up the ball and passed it to Harden.

After receiving the ball, Harden quickly advanced the ball and decided to take on Curry one-on-one, giving Curry a taste of his own medicine.

Harden's series of crossover dribbles caused Curry to lose his balance.

Immediately afterwards, Harden took a step back, creating distance between himself and Curry, and then jumped to shoot.

Seeing this, Curry hurriedly jumped up to block the shot, but it was too late.

The basketball swished through the net, and Harden shook his head triumphantly at Curry.

The audience on the sidelines gasped in surprise. Curry gritted his teeth; he hadn't expected Harden to retaliate so quickly.

Gordon serves.

Curry dribbled the ball up the court, and with Su Hao's screen, he faced Harden once again.

Curry lowered his center of gravity and dribbled between his legs repeatedly, searching for a rhythm.

Suddenly, he accelerated and broke through to the left, and Harden quickly slid to catch up.

However, it was just a feint, and Curry quickly pulled back and took a step-back jump shot.

Harden tried his best to defend, but he was just a little short.

The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and swished through the net!

Curry shrugged smugly, while Harden shook his head helplessly.

"Don't get cocky. If Su Hao hadn't set a screen for you, I definitely would have blocked that shot!" Harden said angrily to Curry.

Just now, Curry's play was indeed successful because Su Hao's screen was solid enough to keep Harden firmly behind him.

This gave Curry enough space to shoot.

It's fair to say that Su Hao played a significant role in Curry's goal.

In these rounds, Su Hao also tried his best to play a supporting role.

Let Curry find his rhythm.

After all, once the outside shooting gets going, you won't need to fight inside anymore!

This will make things much easier. Even though I scored less, it's not a big deal!
