"Are we going back?" Taylor Swift blinked her big, bright eyes and asked curiously.

"Yes, darling, let's go back and get some rest! We have an important away game tomorrow!" Su Hao replied gently with a smile.

"An away game? And it's in this city? Is it against the Lakers?" Taylor Swift tilted her head and guessed playfully.

"Haha! Honey, you're so smart! You guessed it right away! That's right, we're going to play against the Lakers!" Su Hao nodded excitedly.

As he spoke, he gently reached out and stroked Taylor Swift's smooth, shiny hair, then started the car and sped off towards their home.

After a peaceful and comfortable night's rest, the morning sunlight streamed into the room through the window.

However, at that moment, Taylor Swift suddenly received an urgent performance notice.

Although she was very disappointed that she could not accompany Su Hao to the competition, her work responsibilities forced her to miss the competition.

After having lunch, Su Hao arrived at the stadium ahead of schedule, as planned.

When he stepped into the arena, he immediately saw Curry, who was already waiting there.

Curry looked at him with a big smile and joked, "Su Hao, you're here really early today!"

Hearing this, Su Hao was a little surprised and quickly retorted, "Hey, Curry, don't joke around! You were the one who got there earlier, okay?"

After exchanging a smile, their eyes revealed anticipation and excitement for the upcoming match.

They then began to warm up seriously, activating the joints and muscles of various parts of their bodies so that they could be in the best condition for the intense competition.

As time ticked by, teammates gradually arrived at the stadium.

Everyone wore a serious and focused expression, because they all understood the importance of this match.

Before we knew it, the clock had struck 8 p.m.

By this time, the Lakers players had already arrived at the arena and completed a series of preparations.

They actively exchanged tactical ideas on the sidelines, encouraging and cheering each other on.

In the brief silence before the game officially began, an unexpected scene unfolded—Kobe Bryant walked over to the Clippers and chatted warmly with players like Su Hao and Curry.

The atmosphere on the scene immediately became much more relaxed, as if this was not a tense confrontation.

However, the referee's whistle suddenly blew, shattering this brief moment of harmony.

"Beep!"

The whistle signaled the official start of the competition.

Immediately afterwards, the players from both sides stepped onto the field with firm and powerful strides.

First up are the Clippers' starting five: Curry, Gordon, Rasul Butler, David Lee, and Su Hao.

Meanwhile, the Lakers' starting lineup also made a strong appearance.

Kobe, Artest, Fisher, Gasol, Bynum.

At this moment, Bynum and Suho were positioned in the center circle of the basketball court, fully focused on preparing for the jump ball.

The referee gripped the basketball tightly with both hands and then tossed it upwards with force, sending the basketball tracing a high arc through the air.

In the end, Su Hao, with his height, long arms, and excellent physical qualities, came out on top. He fully utilized his advantages and swiftly and successfully slapped the ball towards his teammate Curry.

Curry reacted quickly, catching the ball in his hands. At the same time, Fisher, who was guarding him, followed closely behind.

However, Curry is no ordinary player.

With a nimble feint, he instantly misjudged Fisher's move, easily shaking off his opponent's entanglement. Immediately afterward, Curry sprinted towards the right corner like a whirlwind.

Upon reaching the designated position, he jumped without hesitation, spread his arms, and the basketball in his hand flew straight towards the basket like a cannonball.

Meanwhile, under the basket, Bynum was still engaged in a fierce physical battle with Su Hao, using all his strength to squeeze Su Hao desperately, trying to seize a good position to fight for the rebound.

But Su Hao remained completely unmoved, not even glancing at Bynum, and decisively turned around and retreated to his own half.

Because he knew very well that Curry's shooting skills were exceptional, almost always hitting the target.

Sure enough, under everyone's watchful eyes, the basketball flew into the basket with perfect accuracy, swishing through the net!

The crisp sound of the basketball hitting the net was like a victory horn, announcing the perfect end of this attack.

Frustrated, Bynum bent down to pick up the basketball that had fallen to the ground, then passed it to a teammate near the baseline to reorganize the offense.

After receiving the ball, the player quickly passed it to the team's key player, Kobe.

Kobe dribbled the ball at breakneck speed up the court and quickly reached the opponent's half.

But when he looked closely, he discovered that the defender blocking his way was none other than Su Hao, who had performed exceptionally well in the jump ball.

However, the experienced Kobe didn't take this to heart. He first dribbled the ball in a crossover pattern, followed by a series of dazzling feints, attempting to shake off Su Hao's tight defense through these fakes.

However, time passed by, and a dozen seconds flew by, but Kobe was still unable to shake off Su Hao's close defense.

Moreover, his excessive focus on personal breakthroughs led him to unknowingly fall into a carefully laid defensive trap by his opponents, leaving him in a dilemma.

On the court, Su Hao and Gordon worked closely together, quickly closing in on Kobe and forming a tight double-team.

Faced with such a pressing situation, Kobe was momentarily flustered, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion.

In his haste, he frantically tried to pass the basketball, but time was of the essence. As the game clock beeped, the whistle for a 24-second violation blew.

Enraged, Kobe gripped the basketball tightly and slammed it violently to the ground. The basketball struck the ground with a dull thud, as if venting Kobe's fury.

Seeing this, Su Hao couldn't help but burst into laughter and teased Kobe, "Haha, so hot-tempered!"

Upon hearing this, Kobe turned to look at Su Hao, only to see the other man staring at him with a smug expression, which made Kobe, who was already burning with anger, even angrier.
