Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

In the last minute or so, all the fans stood up, holding their breath, staring at the court without blinking.

People were praying silently.

On the court, the Raptors players have already set up their defense.

Several Lakers players rushed over, Holiday passed the ball to Zhuang Yu, and then the others moved away.

The next moment, Zhuang Yu lowered his center of gravity, stepped forward with his right foot, and then slapped the ball forward, bursting with speed and breaking through. Leonard immediately stepped back and quickly stuck to Zhuang Yu to prevent him from getting rid of him. At the same time, Gasol took a step forward to prepare for defense.

The Lakers players also started to move at this time. Anderson cut along the baseline, Cunningham crossed with Holiday and set a screen for Holiday. Lopez was in the low post on the left, ready to receive the ball...

Zhuang Yu took two steps forward, Leonard was still sticking to his side, and Gasol Jr. was watching him closely in front.

This is obviously not a good opportunity to make a move.

Zhuang Yu paused, took the initiative to lean towards Leonard, looking for a physical confrontation, then took a step to the side, created some distance and lifted the ball.

At the same time, Leonard and Gasol Jr. rushed over.

Zhuang Yu jumped up, but did not choose to shoot himself, because Leonard and Gasol Jr. had already rushed in front of him, almost blocking all his shooting space. At this time, Lopez had an opportunity in the low post on the left side.

Zhuang Yu immediately grabbed the basketball with his left hand and passed the ball to Lopez.

"not good."

"I missed someone."

In the audience, people shouted.

Lopez grabbed the ball and jumped up to do a two-handed slam dunk, but then he heard a "pop" and Siakam rushed over and slapped Lopez on the arm, pulling Lopez down with the ball.

The referee immediately blew the whistle, gave Siakam a foul, and signaled Lopez to stand on the free throw line to take two free throws.

This foul was very fierce. Lopez shook his right hand and felt a sharp pain.

"Are you okay?" Zhuang Yu frowned.

"It's okay." Lopez responded and walked to the free throw line with a frown.

boom!

He missed the first free throw, but he adjusted and made the second one.

The score became 110:108, and there were only a few dozen seconds left in the game.

People couldn't help but look at Coach Nurse, thinking that Coach Nurse would call a timeout, but he didn't.

The Raptors launched an attack, and after Lowry reached the frontcourt, he still called for a pick-and-roll, and then used the pick-and-roll to break free and took the opportunity to break through.

But there was no chance. The Lakers' delay was very timely, so Lowry had to pass the ball. Once again, surprisingly, he did not pass it to Leonard, but to Siakam.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Leonard. The Lakers were the same. They all thought that this kind of ball would definitely be given to Leonard, so the focus of defense was also on Leonard. Surprisingly, the Raptors didn't seem to think so.

Shouldn't Leonard be the one to play?

Such questions have arisen in people's minds.

However, everyone soon discovered that the Raptors' breakthrough and passing were just a cover to confuse the Lakers players and disrupt the Lakers' defensive formation. After two or three passes, the ball was finally passed to Leonard.

"not good."

There were exclamations.

Due to the Raptors' continuous breakthroughs and transfers, several players moved quickly, forcing the Lakers to switch and cover defense. As a result, the person facing Leonard was no longer Cunningham, Zhuang Yu, or Anderson, but Holiday.

Of course, Holiday's defensive ability is unquestionable.

But he is only 193 cm tall after all, so he has no problem facing guards. But when facing Leonard, a small forward, he is far behind in height and wingspan, which is clearly a mismatch.

Leonard decisively played one-on-one, changed direction in front of his body, lowered his right shoulder, leaned forward, burst out at high speed, and broke through to the right.

Holiday subconsciously took a step back and moved to his left, trying to get into position first.

This time Leonard did not pass him, but before Holiday could stand firm, Leonard leaned on him, causing Holiday to stumble. Lopez was ready to step forward to make up for the defense, but Leonard did not continue to move forward, but took a step back to pull the ball back, retreated to the three-point line and jumped, and actually chose to step back for a three-pointer.

Suddenly, the audience was in an uproar.

The fans of the Raptors widened their eyes, and in a trance they felt as if they were back in the second round of the playoffs, the seventh game between the Raptors and the 2ers.

At the last critical moment, Leonard made that magical three-pointer facing Embiid's diving shot, defeating the 76ers.

Now, at this critical moment, with the team trailing by two points, Leonard did not choose to attack the basket, but instead took a step-back three-pointer.

How similar is this?

So, will it get in this time?

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the orange basketball, moving with the basketball as it spun and flew towards the basket.

Swish!

Finally, with a slight sound, the basketball went through the net.

"Oh..."

The audience was boiling with excitement. All kinds of sounds broke out in an instant, filling the entire stadium and spreading like waves.

This ball went in, and it was a three-pointer!

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Scott's face suddenly changed and he immediately called a timeout.

The three-pointer made the score 110:111, and the Lakers fell behind by one point with only 35 seconds left in the game.

For a moment, the situation reversed and the Lakers fell into an unfavorable situation.

Several players came to the sidelines. Holiday, Lopez, Anderson, and Cunningham all had expressions of loss and frustration on their faces. They didn't expect that after leading the entire game, they were overtaken by the Raptors in the last few seconds.

This situation is very unfavorable for the Lakers. They still have one offensive opportunity, but if they fail to score this time, they will probably lose the game.

"fine."

Zhuang Yu's heart was heavy, but he still smiled at his teammates and said calmly, "There are still more than 30 seconds left. There is more than enough time."

Several people adjusted their mindsets and nodded.

Coach Scott was relieved. He didn't have to cheer the players up anymore. He spread out the tactical board and said, "We still have one more chance to attack, but we can't use up all 24 seconds. It's best to control the time of this attack within 15 seconds."

"village......"

He looked at Zhuang Yu: "You should play this ball. What do you think?"

Everyone was a little surprised that Coach Scott was not directly arranging tactics at this time, but was asking for Zhuang Yu's opinion.

In fact, Coach Scott also had his own considerations. This time the attack would definitely be led by Zhuang Yu, and he had absolute trust in Zhuang Yu, so he didn't think that his own arrangements would be better than Zhuang Yu making arrangements himself and playing according to his own ideas.

Zhuang Yu raised his eyebrows, but did not refuse. He said decisively: "At this time, the opponent probably doesn't dare to double-team us. I need everyone to move away and take the defensive players away as much as possible. Leave the rest to me."

Hearing this, everyone naturally had no objection.

Coach Scott nodded and said, "Then do as Zhuang Yu said. When we get to the front court, give the ball to Zhuang Yu and have everyone else move away. If the shot doesn't go in, everyone has to fight for the rebound, and..."

After giving a few more instructions, Coach Scott clapped his hands and said, "Go ahead, come on!"

"The Lakers must win!"

"Must win!"

Everyone roared in unison and turned to walk towards the court.

At the same time, the home fans were also shouting loudly: "The Lakers must win, the Lakers must win..."

......

The timeout is over and players from both teams return to the court.

Both teams made personnel adjustments. The Lakers replaced Cunningham with Korver to add a three-point shooting point and better open up the space. The Raptors also replaced Danny Green with Ibaka.

That is to say, Leonard was placed at the 2nd position, Siakam played at the 3rd position, Ibaka at the 4th position, and Gasol Jr. at the 5th position.

The overall height on the court is a little higher than before. The purpose is to ensure sufficient height, so that they can better make up for the defense and better protect the rebounds. If the Lakers' offense fails this time, then rebounds will be very important.

As long as the Raptors can grab the rebound, they will be invincible...

Lakers offense.

The ball was served and quickly landed in Zhuang Yu's hands.

Seeing Zhuang Yu holding the ball, all the fans in the audience perked up and stared at Zhuang Yu without blinking. Several Raptors players also stared at Zhuang Yu.

There is no doubt that Zhuang Yu will play this ball, but how will he play it?

Zhuang Yu was seen standing outside the three-point line, while the other players on the Lakers side moved away. Holiday, Korver, and Anderson were all outside the three-point line. Only Lopez was still wrestling with Gasol in the low post, trying to occupy a more advantageous position to compete for rebounds.

At this time, Leonard was facing Zhuang Yu. They did not choose to double-team him because they did not dare to miss anyone at this time. After all, they were only leading by one point.

One goal can lead to overtaking.

On the timer, the red numbers are changing.

Zhuang Yu took a look at the basket and started to move. He first stepped forward with his right foot and pushed Leonard with his body to expand his space for movement. Then he grabbed the basketball with both hands and swung it to the right along the floor. Then he suddenly accelerated, slapped the ball with his left hand and broke through to the left.

Leonard quickly retreated and moved to his right side, opening his hands as wide as possible and staring at Zhuang Yu.

This time he was unable to get past Leonard, and Zhuang Yu's speed did not fully explode. It was just a feint, and then he changed direction in front of his body and switched the ball to his right hand.

"really......"

Leonard thought to himself and quickly took a step back and turned sideways. He knew he couldn't get into position first.

At this moment, Zhuang Yu suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, but instead of going forward, he retreated back to the three-point line and pulled the ball back.
