"What?! What did I just see?!" Barkley's eyes widened, and he stood up abruptly, his mouth agape. "What's going on?!"

On the court, all three jumped at the same time, but Su Hao's jump height was significantly higher than Ibaka's and Perkins's.

He leaped high into the air, easily controlled the ball, and before landing, slammed it into the basket over two players.

This scene sent the entire audience into a frenzy, with cheers and applause erupting like thunder.

However, what was even more surprising was that the referee's whistle blew immediately after Su Hao spiked the ball into the net.

Ibaka and Perkins both looked at the referee with innocent expressions, indicating that they had not fouled Su Hao.

They kept explaining to the referee, hoping to get a fair ruling.

But the referee firmly shook his head, indicating that someone had indeed committed a foul.

After some investigation, the referee clearly stated that the player who committed the foul was not Perkins, but Ibaka.

Upon hearing this result, Ibaka covered his head in disbelief, a look of astonishment on his face.

He simply couldn't accept this fact, because it meant that his situation was truly detrimental to the current Thunder team.

The situation on the court changed rapidly, and the Thunder, who had just been in the lead, suddenly found themselves in trouble.

First Westbrook's five fouls, and now it's Ibaka.

Moreover, almost all of their fouls occurred while they were defending Su Hao.

This result left Ibaka, his teammates, and the head coach extremely dissatisfied.

To convince the Thunder's players and coaches, the referee decided to replay the foul's trajectory.

The video replay clearly shows that when Su Hao was falling to dunk the ball, Ibaka and Perkins had already landed.

When Perkins saw Su Hao preparing to dunk on him, he instinctively dodged, while Ibaka braced himself against Su Hao's body.

This scene was caught red-handed by the referee on the baseline.

Upon seeing this, Ibaka, his teammates, and the head coach immediately fell silent.

The fans at the scene were stunned by Su Hao's performance.

"This physical ability is just too abnormal!"

"He single-handedly dominated the entire game! That's Su Hao!"

"They're not even in the same league. The Thunder are really doomed!"

The audience was amazed and discussed Su Hao's formidable strength.

The Thunder's home fans on the sidelines were stunned by Su Hao's performance, and even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with their eyes.

Those fans who originally supported the Thunder had a glimmer of hope for a comeback when they saw their team close the gap to five points.

However, with Su Hao's reappearance, this glimmer of hope was instantly shattered, becoming somewhat illusory and unreal.

Su Hao stood steadily at the free throw line, ready to take the extra shot.

The atmosphere instantly became tense, with the audience letting out gasps and cheers.

"The Thunder really have no way to deal with Su Hao! Coach Zhang, can you give them some advice?" Commentator Yang Yi smiled and looked at Coach Zhang beside him, looking forward to his professional advice.

After a moment of contemplation, Coach Zhang said, "The Clippers' decision to have Su Hao lead four substitutes is clearly intentional. Their goal is very clear: to get the ball inside and let Su Hao handle it. For the Thunder, stopping Su Hao from having the ball under the basket is virtually impossible with their current roster. After all, no team in the league can truly limit Su Hao's performance right now. Therefore, if the Thunder want to win this game, they must strengthen their offense and find more scoring opportunities."

Coach Zhang's words were like a wake-up call, making everyone present realize the truth.

The situation on the court was so clear: the Clippers had the advantage thanks to Su Hao's strong abilities and outstanding performance, while the Thunder needed to find a breakthrough on the offensive end to turn the tide.

Su Qun chimed in, "The Thunder are facing the same problem as other teams when they face the Clippers: they can't effectively contain Su Hao's offense. That's the same for all of them. So they can't keep thinking about containing Su Hao; that's an impossible task. The most important thing now is to score!"

After hearing Su Qun's words, the audience members expressed their agreement in the live chat.

That's true. If we keep focusing on Su Hao, it will inevitably affect the team's offensive rhythm. At that time, scoring is the most important thing.

Su Hao took the basketball from the referee, took a deep breath, raised the ball high, and threw it with force.

Adjusting his rhythm, he easily shot the ball into the basket, adding another point for the team.

This excited Curry and his teammates on the sidelines, who jumped and danced on the bench.

However, the Thunder did not choose to call another timeout, but instead let the game continue.

Ibaka passed the ball to Westbrook, who quickly dribbled forward.

However, this time he did not rush directly to the basket as he had done before.

Since Su Hao returned to the court, Westbrook's role has been greatly diminished.

During the time Su Hao was resting on the bench, Westbrook would drive to the basket almost every offensive possession, trying to open up the game with his individual skills.

Even if he doesn't actively attack the basket, he can still create better opportunities for his teammates by drawing the opposing defenders away.

But now, the situation is completely different. Su Hao's presence makes it extremely difficult for Westbrook to break through, forcing him to change tactics and find new ways to score.

When Su Hao returned to the court, his mere presence in the paint was enough to deter Westbrook from easily attacking the Clippers' interior.

After all, Westbrook already had five fouls, and if he wasn't careful, he could be ejected from the game.

Su Hao, a player skilled at drawing fouls and blocking shots, makes Westbrook even more cautious.

After dribbling the ball a few times, Westbrook finally decided to pass it to Harden, who was standing nearby.

However, Harden also didn't dare to rush into the paint easily, but instead roamed around the perimeter, trying to find opportunities.

With the shot clock about to expire, Harden finally launched a buzzer-beating three-pointer over the defender.

Surprisingly, despite the defender practically covering his face with his hand, Harden's touch was exceptionally good, and the shot went in smoothly.
