Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Swish!

With a slight sound, the basketball fell into the net.

Another lob!

Gobert turned his head to look at the basket, only to see the net shaking slightly. He was a little depressed. He had made up for the defense in time and jumped high enough, but Zhuang Yu's shot had a higher arc, and it was impossible for him to touch the basketball.

Coach Schneider on the sidelines couldn't help but shake his head. Zhuang Yu had too many ways to score.

The three-point shot is accurate, and the fadeaway jump shot is unstoppable. Just guarding against these two moves of his makes the defensive players at a loss. And even if they defend against these two moves of his, he still has a sharp breakthrough and an accurate floater. How can they defend against this?

However, Coach Schneider had already prepared himself mentally before the game, knowing that it would be difficult for them to defend Zhuang Yu and win the game by defense, even though their defense was not bad, and even looking at the 30 teams in the league, their defense was considered very good.

But there is no way, who made them face the Lakers?

Facing the Lakers, it is difficult for the Jazz to win the game by defense. They can only rely on offense. Only if they play well enough offense can they have a chance to defeat the Lakers.

So Coach Schneider gestured toward the court.

Several players understood, and when they arrived at the frontcourt, Conley immediately passed the ball to Mitchell. However, the person facing Mitchell at this time was no longer Holiday, but Zhuang Yu.

This made Mitchell frown.

He still has considerable confidence facing Holiday.

But now he was facing Zhuang Yu, the best defensive player, which made him a little nervous and somewhat unsure.

But after all, they are young players, and they are fearless.

Especially for very talented players like Mitchell, they always think highly of themselves and don't think they can beat anyone. So even when facing Zhuang Yu, he only hesitated for a moment and then immediately chose to play singles.

Mitchell held the ball at his waist and suddenly took a step forward with his right foot, as if he was going to make a breakthrough.

However, Zhuang Yu did not move at all. His special ability allowed him to accurately predict his opponent's next move.

Of course it's not 100%.

If it were some players with excellent skills, such as Kyrie Irving, Zhuang Yu's judgment might not be accurate, because Irving's fake moves were too realistic.

And on the field, Zhuang Yu simply did not have enough time to do more analysis and judgment.

But Mitchell is not Irving.

Although he is very talented, he is still a sophomore player after all. His outstanding scoring ability is more due to his outstanding physical talent, amazing speed, and strong explosive power, which are the reasons why he can perform so well.

But if we only talk about skills, it is obvious that a second-year player cannot compare with a player like Irving.

Therefore, Mitchell's fake moves were useless in Zhuang Yu's eyes, and he could see Mitchell's true intentions at a glance.

Seeing that Zhuang Yu didn't move at all, Mitchell couldn't help but frown.

Although the two sides had played against each other for five games in the playoffs last season, he knew Zhuang Yu well enough to know that it would be difficult to fool Zhuang Yu with such fake moves, but every time he encountered such a situation, he always felt devastated.

The tricks that had always worked in the past seemed to suddenly fail in front of Zhuang Yu.

This feeling made him uncomfortable.

However, Mitchell did not give up the singles. He immediately retracted his right foot, raised his center of gravity, made another fake shot, and then lowered his left shoulder to break through to the left. His speed was very fast, but Zhuang Yu's reaction was even faster. He had already predicted Mitchell's move and took a step back to block Mitchell's breakthrough route.

"Humph."

Mitchell snorted.

The next moment, their bodies collided.

However, what made Mitchell depressed was that even though he started first and had the impact, he still couldn't gain the upper hand when their bodies collided.

He was frightened by Zhuang Yu's ability to fight back.

This was totally not the physical fitness that a yellow man should have. He felt as if he had hit a rock and had to stop.

At this moment, Zhuang Yu suddenly made a shot. There was a snap and Mitchell felt his palm was empty. He was shocked and knew that his ball was intercepted.

"not good."

Mitchell cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" and hurriedly lowered his head to look for the ball, trying to get it back.

But at this moment, Zhuang Yu suddenly took a step back. Originally, the two were close to each other, but Zhuang Yu's retreat made Mitchell lose his support.

That's the trick.

This is just an insignificant detail, but it has a similar effect to "removing the stool", causing Mitchell to lose balance and almost fall, let alone pick up the ball.

at the same time.

Zhuang Yu rushed out, grabbed the basketball, and then rushed to the front court, quickly leaving everyone behind.

Zhuang Yu rushed into the three-point line and stepped into the free throw line. He suddenly jumped up just one step inside the free throw line, his body soaring in the air. He grabbed the basketball with his right hand and made a small fold. He then dunked the ball into the basket in front of the horrified eyes of tens of thousands of fans at the scene.

For a moment, the whole place was silent.

The home fans were speechless and couldn't say a word.

This dunk is so beautiful, it is definitely one of the top ten plays, and it is the kind of dunk that directly secures the first place in the top ten plays, it is so explosive.

It leaves one speechless!

"This ball..."

Coach Schneider smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking that Mitchell was still too young.

It's good to be aggressive and courageous, but you have to see who you are facing. Zhuang Yu is a two-time best defensive player. It is too difficult for Mitchell to force a singles match against Zhuang Yu when he has no advantages in height, speed, and strength.

Moreover, there is a gap in skills and experience between the two sides. Coach Schneider saw the ball very clearly just now. In fact, although Mitchell did not have the upper hand in the confrontation between the two sides, the difference was not much. At most, he could not score this ball.

The reason why the ball was intercepted by Zhuang Yu was because he suffered from lack of experience and did not retain enough strength. As a result, Zhuang Yu's removal of a stool caused him to lose balance, which allowed the ball to be intercepted by Zhuang Yu.

It's actually not worth it to lose this kind of ball.

Even if you just throw the ball into the basket casually, your teammates may be able to grab the rebound, but if the ball is directly intercepted, you can only watch the opponent dunk on the fast break.

This not only resulted in the loss of two points, but was also a huge blow to the team's morale.

"Play steadily, don't be in a hurry." Coach Schneider shouted towards the court, signaling the players not to be in a hurry and to play steadily.

It is better to miss the shot than to make a mistake.

Several players nodded and launched the attack again.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Mitchell found that the person in front of him was still Zhuang Yu. He couldn't help but frown, feeling a little helpless.

He really wanted to score over Zhuang Yu's head and prove his strength in this way, but he had to admit that he was a little stretched facing Zhuang Yu's defense. It seemed that no matter what method he used, it was difficult to score over Zhuang Yu's head.

He is not good at breaking through, and his height is at a disadvantage when it comes to shooting, so if he forces a shot, it will most likely end up missing.

But Mitchell still plans to give it a try.

He first cut to the inside, made a circle and then ran to the outside, got rid of the screen of his teammates, then received the ball outside the three-point line and shot immediately.

"Anderson." Zhuang Yu called out.

Anderson and Zhuang Yu had a tacit understanding. When he heard Zhuang Yu's shout, he knew what he should do. At this time, Zhuang Yu was blocked by the Jazz players, and Anderson pounced on Mitchell and jumped up in the first place.

For this ball, Mitchell could only shoot immediately after receiving it. He didn't dare to delay because even a slight delay would allow Zhuang Yu to catch up with him and he would have no chance to shoot.

Anderson also understood this, so he pounced very resolutely and decisively, jumped up with all his strength, and stretched out his arms to cover Mitchell's head.

laugh!

A small soft sound.

Although Mitchell deliberately raised the arc of his shot and accelerated his shooting speed, Anderson was more than ten centimeters taller than him and had an excellent arm span. He still touched the basketball, although it was only a little bit of fingertips, but it was enough to destroy the trajectory of the shot.

The basketball flew high, but it didn't fly towards the basket and missed all three shots.

"Wow..."

There was an uproar in the audience, as the fans did not expect that the ball would be a three-pointer.

"Damn it."

Mitchell was frustrated, but there was nothing he could do. He became a little depressed. He just wanted to score and prove himself.

Why is it so hard?

Lopez grabbed the rebound and immediately passed it to Holiday. The Lakers launched a quick counterattack. Holiday reached the frontcourt and passed the ball to Zhuang Yu.

At this moment, Zhuang Yu was standing outside the three-point line at a 30-degree angle on the left. After receiving the pass from Holiday, he glanced at the basket.

At this time, the Jazz players who were involved in returning to defense had not arranged their defensive formations. There was an empty space in front of Zhuang Yu, and he shot a three-pointer without hesitation.

This is the regular season, not the previous preseason, so Zhuang Yu did not deliberately seek to shoot through the lobs.

The jump shot needs to be honed and used more often, but the prerequisite is to ensure winning first!

This was a very good three-point opportunity. The basketball flew out from Zhuang Yu's fingertips, drew a beautiful arc, and finally went through the net.

Swish!

Hollow hit!

All of a sudden, the score became 19:15, and the Lakers went from being one point behind to leading by four points.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Schneider on the sidelines shook his head and quickly called a timeout, requiring the players to come down and adjust.

They played well in the first few minutes. Although they couldn't defend, their offense didn't fall behind. But they played a bit badly in the past two rounds.

We can't continue like this, otherwise the gap will only get bigger.
