NBA: Become stronger by dunking

Chapter 91



【91】Su Mo is more accurate than a shooter!

Not only did Mike Breen and Van Gundy on the commentary platform not think highly of the matchup between Griffin and Su Mo, but even most of the fans in the audience thought that Su Mo was much better than Griffin.

"Griffin's physical talent and skills are outstanding enough, but compared with Su Mo, he is a level lower!"

"Yes, there is always someone stronger among the strong. I am afraid that no matter how hard Griffin tries, he can only strive for the second place among this year's rookies."

Feeling these unfavorable voices from all sides, Griffin was deeply annoyed, which made him more determined to defeat Su Mo in the game.

Looking back, it was the Clippers' attack again. Griffin faced Su Mo's defense in the high position. He wanted to show his ability, so he turned his back to Gordon for the ball.

After receiving the ball, Griffin turned around and changed direction with the ball, trying to break through Su Mo.

Su Mo had already guessed Griffin's intention. His strong body was like a wall, instantly blocking Griffin's breakthrough route.

Griffin did not dodge, his center of gravity sank, and he rushed directly towards Su Mo.

""Bang!"

He couldn't move at all.

Griffin was shocked. How could Su Mo's core strength be so strong?

After two consecutive collisions, Griffin didn't get any advantage. In desperation, he could only take a step back and choose a mid-range shot.

Even if he couldn't break through Su Mo, he had to score over Su Mo's head.

Su Mo's lips curled slightly, and at the moment Griffin jumped up, he also jumped up quickly and swung his long arms vigorously.

""Pah!"

With a loud bang, Su Mo slapped the basketball hard and it went out of bounds.

Griffin was shocked and angry, with mixed emotions in his heart.

It was still the Clippers' offense, with 8 seconds left.

Griffin was obsessed with singles against Su Mo, so he actively ran to receive the serve and faced Su Mo again in the high position on the right side of the frontcourt.

This time Griffin tried his best, but still couldn't find a suitable scoring opportunity.

He has strength, speed, and top-notch reaction ability. Who would be willing to play against such a defender?

Griffin had to admit... Admittedly, Su Mo's defense is too strong.

There was not much time left for the offense, and Griffin was about to commit a 24-second violation, so he could only choose to shoot in a hurry.

The basketball was ridiculously off.

Three misses.

Griffin was restricted by Su Mo on the offensive end twice in a row, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.

However, his"tragedy" continued.

In the first quarter, 10 minutes and 18 seconds.

In the Warriors' offense, Su Mo held the ball against Griffin at the top of the arc in the frontcourt, and continuously changed direction and dribbled between his legs, directly shaking Griffin, and then calmly shot from mid-range, and the basketball went into the net.

""Shua!"

9 minutes and 22 seconds.

Griffin was angry and wanted to return the favor to Su Mo on the offensive end, but was directly intercepted by Su Mo, who assisted Curry to easily hit a three-pointer.

8 minutes and 31 seconds.

Su Mo and Curry cooperated, the latter broke through the restricted area to attract double-teaming, and then made a wonderful pass to Su Mo who cut in.

Su Mo faced Griffin's jump block, pulled up in the air and changed hands, and scored a dunk

"boom"

""Beep!"

The referee's whistle also sounded, and Griffin was penalized for a foul on Su Mo's shot.

Su Mo's goal was valid, and he also got a chance for a free throw.

Su Mo walked to the free throw line and raised his eyebrows and smiled at Griffin. Under the angry and angry eyes of the other party, he easily made the free throw.

Nearly half of the first quarter was played, Warriors (16): (9) Clippers.

There was a trend of gradually widening the score.

After Griffin completed a dunk at the beginning of the game, he did not score again under Su Mo's"special care".

On the other hand, Su Mo made 5 of 5 shots and scored 11 points in half a quarter. He also contributed 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

In contrast, Su Mo Completely defeated the"No. 1 pick" Griffin.

The Clippers' 9 points in half a quarter were also thanks to their"sharp" shooter Eric Gordon.

If it weren't for Gordon's two three-pointers at the beginning, the Clippers would probably be behind by double digits now.

During the Clippers' timeout, the head coach also adjusted his tactics, placing more offensive options on the outside. He also gave Griffin earnest advice, telling him that it would be better for him not to confront Su Mo head-on, otherwise he would be the only one to suffer.

Griffin shook his head and sighed. Su Mo was much stronger than he thought. Perhaps he really should re-examine reality.

After the timeout, Griffin and Eric Gordon played a pick-and-roll cooperation. In two consecutive offenses, they covered Gordon's three-pointers.

""Swish, swish!"

Less than two-thirds of the first quarter had passed, and Gordon had already made four three-pointers, a very explosive performance.

Eric Gordon was selected by the Clippers with the seventh pick in the first round of 2008. His performance in his rookie season was quite eye-catching.

Entering the second season, Gordon's performance has gone to a higher level, averaging 2.2 three-pointers per game, with a hit rate of more than 40%, and an average score of 17.5 points per game, with huge potential.

The Clippers management's intention is to build the team around Griffin and Gordon, forming a style that takes both inside and outside into account.

This shows Gordon's excellence.

However, today, Gordon's performance is obviously better than usual.

He made four three-pointers before the end of the first quarter, and a super high hit rate of 4 out of 5. Such a performance can be described as"explosive". At the Staples Center, the home fans also talked about it constantly.

"Although we didn’t see the top pick’s outstanding performance, Gordon broke out, which was really a bit unexpected. I hope the Clippers can stalemate with the Warriors to the end and make the game more suspenseful!"

"He made 4 of 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, and the first quarter wasn't over yet, the Clippers were collectively silent. It was Gordon who was holding the team up alone. He was really tough!"

"Don't forget that Su Mo made 12 three-pointers in the last game. I wonder if Su Mo will choose to compete with Gordon in three-pointers."

"Haha, Su Mo is a small forward after all, and a shooter is not his position. Although he made 12 three-pointers in the last game, his hit rate was not high."

On the court, seeing Gordon's consecutive three-pointers raising the atmosphere of the home fans, Su Mo frowned, he couldn't let the Clippers gain momentum. If it really comes to a three-pointer competition, Su Mo is not afraid of anyone now.

3 minutes and 46 seconds.

The Lakers' offense, Su Mo ran without the ball in the frontcourt, quickly got rid of the defense through speed, and found a chance to shoot outside the right three-point line.

Curry was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and the basketball in his hand was quickly passed.

Su Mo received the ball and shot decisively.

The basketball flew across the sky, unbiased, and shot through the heart.

""Swish!"

2 minutes and 19 seconds.

Su Mo first stole the ball from Gordon on the defensive end, then quickly went down the front court and made another three-pointer.

""Shua!"

Su Mo's two consecutive three-pointers once again defeated the Clippers.
