Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Chapter 1538 Western Conference Finals, Clash of Champions (5)

on the field.

The game continues.

The referee only gave Green a normal foul, but Holiday and Coach Scott each received a technical foul.

So regardless of anything else, even from this point of view, the Lakers are at a loss.

After both teams have completed their free throws, the ball still belongs to the Warriors.

At this time, the Warriors team has Curry, Klay, Durant, Green, and Rooney, while the Lakers team has Holiday, Zhuang Yu, Korver, Anderson, and Zubac.

After Curry advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, he first called for a pick-and-roll, moved to the left, and Zubac stepped forward to delay.

This time, Curry was facing Zubac instead of Lopez, so he naturally would not be polite. He changed direction continuously and accelerated to pass Zubac.

Anderson hurried over to help defend, but saw Curry jump up and hit the ball high, the basketball bounced off the backboard and finally fell into the net.

After this goal, the Warriors led by three points.

Turning around, the Lakers attacked.

After Holiday pushed the ball to the frontcourt, he first called for a pick-and-roll, and then passed the ball to Zubac who cut into the inside after the pick-and-roll. However, Zubac did not dare to fight against Rooney and passed the ball away.

After two passes, the ball came into Zhuang Yu's hands.

Just as Zhuang Yu was about to take action, the Warriors double-teamed him.

"really......"

Zhuang Yu frowned, but was not surprised.

Without Lopez, the Warriors will definitely make some adjustments to their defense, and double-teaming is expected.

When the opponent double-teamed him, Zhuang Yu immediately passed the ball to Anderson. After receiving the ball, Anderson took a step forward and made a layup.

In the next few rounds, the Warriors double-teamed Zhuang Yu. After Zhuang Yu passed the ball, his teammates did not seize the opportunity. After all, without Lopez, the Lakers lacked an important scoring point.

Zubac couldn't get any advantage against Rooney in the interior. Even when the ball was given to him, he was afraid to shoot, and the occasional shot he took ended in miss.

The Lakers' offense still relies on the outside.

However, apart from Zhuang Yu, only Holiday can play well, Korver's touch is poor, and Anderson's shooting is unstable...

After a few rounds, the gap between the two sides was widened to 8 points.

"Requesting a timeout."

With only four minutes left in the game, Coach Scott called a timeout.

After several players came off the court, Coach Scott first made a substitution, replacing Korver with Cunningham. After thinking about it, he replaced Zubac with Clarkson and simply played a "small five" lineup. Zubac really didn't play any role on the court.

Then, Coach Scott spread out the tactical board and said, "Little Lance, your role is to protect the rebounds. Cunningham, you will defend Durant as well as possible. Everyone else should pay attention to screen and pick-and-roll for Zhuang Yu."

In this situation, Coach Scott doesn't have many solutions. The first thing he needs to solve is the team's offense.

This depends on Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu nodded heavily: "I understand."

......

The timeout ends and the Lakers attack.

Holiday came to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Zhuang Yu. Seeing Zhuang Yu holding the ball, the Warriors quickly stepped forward to double-team him. Zhuang Yu passed the ball to Anderson, then started running, first making a circle in the inside, and then suddenly running back and returning to the three-point line.

During this process, Holiday, Anderson and Cunningham were also moving, actively covering and picking for Zhuang Yu to help him break away from the defense.

When Zhuang Yu returned to the three-point line, his teammates passed the ball to him and the Warriors switched defense immediately, but this time it was Curry who came to save Zhuang Yu.

Curry's height and wingspan are not enough, but Zhuang Yu ignored it. After receiving the ball, he immediately jumped up and shot a three-pointer facing Curry.

Swish!

There was a soft sound and the ball was scored.

The score is even!

"Defend better and don't let him shoot three-pointers."

"Switch quickly."

The home fans shouted loudly towards the court, asking the Warriors players to defend better. Everyone knew that at this time, as long as they defended Zhuang Yu well, they would win.

In the next round, when Zhuang Yu once again used a back-run to get the ball outside the three-point line, someone from the Warriors rushed in front of Zhuang Yu. And this time it was Durant. Facing Durant, Zhuang Yu had no way to shoot directly.

He lowered his center of gravity and accelerated to pass Durant, then held the ball and ran straight to the basket, jumped up towards Rooney, confronted him in the air, then changed hands and made a layup with his left hand.

This goal left the home fans speechless.

But the Warriors responded with a counterattack. Curry ran back to catch the ball, pretending to shoot a three-pointer, then accelerated and broke through, passing the ball to Klay. Klay caught the ball and shot, but he stepped a little on the line, and it was a long two-pointer.

When he reached the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu got the ball again.

This time, Zhuang Yu did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he suddenly accelerated, rushed through the two double-teams and headed straight for the basket.

"Humph."

Green snorted coldly, quickly made up for the defense and stood in front of Zhuang Yu.

However, Zhuang Yu did not stop and rushed towards Green. Seeing that the two were about to collide, Zhuang Yu suddenly hugged the ball, jumped sideways to the left, and threw it with one hand.

Swish.

Go in again.

In a short while, Zhuang Yu had scored three goals and scored 7 points.

This made the home fans very unhappy, and several Warriors players were a little helpless. They had tried their best to defend Zhuang Yu and prevent him from scoring.

But Zhuang Yu just can score, what can we do?

We can only rely on offense. As long as we can fight back, the Lakers won't be able to catch up.

So after arriving at the frontcourt, Durant opened his hands to ask for the ball, then played against Cunningham, first with a tentative step, then broke through, after moving forward two steps, he suddenly jumped up and shot backward, and with a slight sound, the ball hit the target.

"This won't work. Although Zhuang Yu can score, the Warriors are also scoring, and the game time will only get shorter and shorter. It will be difficult to catch up."

"Yes."

"But what can we do? Without Lopez, we can only rely on Zhuang Yu to score, and the defense is not as good as before. It is difficult to defend the Warriors. After all, the Warriors have too many scoring points, and there is also Durant, a player who is unstoppable offensively."

"Oh, damn Green..."

Lakers fans couldn't help but feel anxious and worried.

......

"Requesting a timeout."

The Lakers called another timeout.

When several players came off the court, Coach Scott was about to speak when Zhuang Yu said, "We can't go on like this. We have to defend it."

Everyone was looking at Zhuang Yu. They knew they had to defend against him. Otherwise, even if Zhuang Yu could score every ball, it would be difficult to catch up with the score.

But how can we prevent it?

"I can only take a gamble..."

Zhuang Yu took a deep breath and began to make arrangements.

Coach Scott, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, then frowned, but never interrupted.

After Zhuang Yu finished speaking and looked at him, Coach Scott took a deep breath and said, "Just do as Zhuang Yu said."

Several people agreed and walked onto the court.

When they came to the court, the Lakers attacked, and Holiday passed the ball to Zhuang Yu when he got to the frontcourt. The Warriors still double-teamed him, and Zhuang Yu passed the ball to Anderson.

Then Zhuang Yu ran back, got rid of his teammates' screens and pick-and-rolls, and returned to the three-point line. After receiving the ball, he pretended to shoot, but it was a ground pass to Holiday who was cutting to the basket. The Warriors players were all focused on Zhuang Yu, and did not expect him to pass the ball. Curry did not expect Holiday to suddenly cut to the inside, and it was too late to react.

Swish!

Holiday grabbed the basketball and made a layup, the score difference was 5 points, and there was less than three minutes left in the game.

......

The Warriors attack.

When he came to the frontcourt, Curry suddenly found that the person defending him became Zhuang Yu, not Holiday. He was a little surprised, but still called a pick-and-roll, and then passed the ball to Durant. As soon as Durant got the ball, Cunningham and Anderson pounced on him and double-teamed him.

"Double-team."

"You dare to double-team? Aren't you afraid of missing someone?"

People were surprised.

Durant frowned and passed the ball to Klay. However, Holiday was standing in front of Klay, so he did not shoot, but passed the ball to Green.

For a moment, everyone else had defenders in front of them, but there was an open space in front of Green and no one was defending him.

This situation made Green himself a little confused. He hesitated whether he should play by himself, pass the ball, shoot a three-pointer, or break through...

"Then shoot a three-pointer."

Green made a decision, took a deep breath, glanced at the basket, and then threw the ball. There was no one guarding him throughout the process, and he was in an absolutely wide-open space.

But... with a bang, the basketball bounced out of the hoop.

"Damn it." Green's face darkened and he cursed in frustration.

This completely open three-point shot, he even adjusted it a bit, which was easier than normal shooting training, but in the end he didn't go in.

The home fans were originally ready to cheer, but the sound got stuck in their throats and they almost choked to death. They were so speechless, thinking, how the hell can you even miss a shot?

Can you play ball?

Anderson grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack. Several people quickly went to the frontcourt. Anderson pushed the ball with both hands and passed it to Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu first made a fake shot, then accelerated and broke through, heading straight for the basket and rushed towards Green.

The next moment, Zhuang Yu stopped in front of Green and raised the ball. Green roared, jumped up subconsciously, and raised his arms high.

However, Zhuang Yu did not jump, it was just a fake move.

Zhuang Yu jumped up only after Green jumped up, leaned towards Green, and threw the ball out. The basketball hit the basket, bounced twice, and then fell into it.

"Oh..."

The audience was in an uproar. This goal actually went in.

Not only did he score, Zhuang Yu also had to stand on the free throw line. The referee had already blew the whistle and called a foul on Green, so Zhuang Yu had to take an extra free throw.

Zhuang Yu walked past Green, paused deliberately, and said in a low voice: "You are just an idiot."

These words were spoken in Chinese, which Green could not understand, but he knew they were definitely not good words, and he immediately became angry.

Zhuang Yu just looked at him, his face full of excitement and anticipation, as if to say "Come and hit me if you dare, come on."

This time Green didn't dare to move.

I already have a technical foul.
