The first quarter was nearing its end, and both sides were actually playing without any major issues.

The Lakers' loss in the last game was actually a good opportunity to learn from their mistakes.

Su Hao used his usual method, breaking through and delivering a powerful dunk.

"He fought against Gasol!"

The old Zen master couldn't understand it at this point. Even if the size difference wasn't right, he couldn't just give up like that; it was practically handing the competition over to someone else.

"No problem, don't worry!"

Gasol is also a very experienced person, and in such situations, he often doesn't use his full strength.

"You little brat, you're still observing me here. Wait until I really unleash my power, and let's see what you can do to me!"

A superb center like Su Hao, once given the opportunity, is unlikely to miss the shot.

Curry drew a foul on the next possession, turning the tide from a deficit to a dominant fast break, scoring four points to take a 27-26 lead!

The Lakers still did not call a timeout at this point. After Kobe returned, he passed the ball to Lao Yu, who was standing in the corner.

"Great shot! At his age, he's made a huge contribution to the team's victory!"

I never dared to say this before, but now I can say that Lao Yu has put in absolute effort for this kind of competition. After the last game, he practiced his three-point shot intensively.

During the transition, Gordon hit another three-pointer.

"Everyone's three-point shooting was on fire today!"

The score is steadily climbing, and no one can stop the other. It also seems that they're not playing defense as much at this point; they're basically going at it head-to-head, seeing who can increase their shooting percentage.

In the next possession, Curry was knocked down on offense. No wonder, as a rookie, his initial scouting report stated that his physical condition was average and he was prone to injury.

The referee did not call an offensive foul at this point, and Curry remained in a very good state of mind after he got up.

The Lakers also executed a fast break alley-oop.

"Oh dear, there's nothing we can do about it!"

After Su Hao turned around, he received the ball and continued to drive hard, executing a very easy skyhook, similar to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's, and effortlessly put the ball in the net. "That move... isn't that Hakeem Olajuwon?!"

His physical strength, coupled with a near-obsessive technical advantage, allowed him to easily and clearly gain the lead at this point.

With the Lakers missing their final shot, they remained down 33-30 at the end of the first quarter.

The Clippers, playing at home, continued to dominate on offense, with Su Hao scoring 12 points on 6-of-1 shooting in the first quarter.

"If we don't limit Su Hao's scoring, it should be very easy for him to get 40 or 50 points in this game. If he gets that many points, it will be almost impossible for him to win!"

The Zen Master had no choice but to bring on their second-highest lineup, Odom and Gasol, at the start of the second quarter.

"With two tall lineups, let's see if we can limit Su Hao's performance in the paint a little!"

At the start of the second quarter, the Lakers made three substitutions.
