Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"beep!"

The referee blows the whistle.

This time it was Antetokounmpo who caused Anderson to foul, and then he went to the free throw line and made both free throws.

Turning around, Zhuang Yu immediately returned the favor.

Zhuang Yu was seen running back to ask for the ball from his teammates, and then signaling the others to move away, and he directly played against Di Vincenzo.

"laugh!"

Zhuang Yu started suddenly, without any unnecessary movements, just a simple acceleration, but his speed was astonishingly fast, and Di Vincenzo defended too far forward, and as a result, he was overtaken by Zhuang Yu in one step.

Antetokounmpo behind him immediately rushed over to defend.

Seeing Antetokounmpo coming up, Zhuang Yu did not pass the ball. Instead, he changed direction in front of his body, moved sideways a step, then jumped up and made a fade away jump shot right in front of Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo jumped up and stretched out his arms to block the shot, but he was unable to do so.

Zhuang Yu's body leaned back in the air, looking as beautiful as a painting. His movements were graceful, and he threw the ball against the defense.

At this moment, no one would doubt whether the ball would go in.

Swish!

really......

The ball went through the net accurately and hit the target.

And just a few dozen seconds later, Zhuang Yu made another three-pointer on the offensive end.

Although he failed to hit the target, Zhuang Yu quickly rushed into the inside to grab the rebound, made an extreme dodge in the air, switched the ball to his left hand, and finally scored the goal.

Scored two more points.

This is not the end, he soon hit another long three-pointer from outside the three-point line...

Only then did the Bucks players react. Zhuang Yu seemed to have switched into scoring mode again, turning into a terrifying scoring machine.

"Requesting a timeout."

The Bucks called a timeout.

Coach Budenholzer shook his head in frustration.

Today they obviously were not able to really restrict Zhuang Yu. On the contrary, Zhuang Yu played a more comprehensive performance than ever before.

......

Here.

When Zhuang Yu came off the court, his teammates surrounded him and high-fived him to celebrate.

Coach Scott also greeted Zhuang Yu with a smile, patted his arm, and expressed his admiration. He couldn't be more satisfied with Zhuang Yu's performance.

Sitting down on the sidelines, Coach Scott spread out the tactical board...

After the timeout, Zhuang Yu, Anderson and Zubac were all replaced, and Holiday stayed on the court and played with several substitute players.

Anderson withdrew his gaze from the court, turned his head and asked Zhuang Yu: "I feel like you seem a little different today than usual?"

"Have it?"

"Have."

"What's different?"

"This...I can't really put it into words, but it's just a little different."

Zhuang Yu chuckled and said nothing.

Anderson knew him very well. Today, Zhuang Yu was indeed a little different from before. The biggest difference was his mentality.

Today, Zhuang Yu’s requirement for himself is not only to score points, but to do everything he can.

What does a great player look like?

Is it Kobe's nine consecutive 40+ games, Jordan's playoff series average of 40+, Westbrook's triple-double, or...

Zhuang Yu believes that a great player should be dominant and rule the game in his own way.

For example, Jordan and Kobe dominated the game by scoring crazily.

For example, Stockton and Nash dominated the game by constantly creating opportunities for their teammates and making wonderful passes.

Another example...

For Zhuang Yu, it means doing everything he can, doing what the team needs when needed, and leaving the opponent helpless.

This is dominance, this is dominating the game.

......

In a blink of an eye, the third quarter was over.

At this time, the Lakers were still leading by 10 points.

In fact, the Bucks did not suffer any loss during the rotation time in the third quarter.

It was just because the Lakers had already established a double-digit lead under the leadership of Zhuang Yu, so at the end of the third quarter, the Lakers were still leading by 10 points.

After entering the fourth quarter, the Bucks replaced their main players early and tried to catch up. They did catch up a few points and narrowed the gap to 4 points.

At this time, Coach Scott began to make substitutions, replacing main players such as Zhuang Yu and Anderson.

As soon as he returned to the court, Zhuang Yu scored two points with a layup after a breakthrough, helping the Lakers stabilize the situation.

In the next few minutes, Zhuang Yu not only competed with Antetokounmpo on the offensive end, but also performed very well in organizing offense and defense.

Before the end of the fourth quarter, Zhuang Yu had already scored 33 points, plus 13 assists, 8 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, filling the data column.

"That's amazing. Zhuang Yu's performance today was really comprehensive."

"Just two rebounds away from a triple-double."

The home fans were all stunned.

Zhuang Yu's performance today may not be as explosive as the 55-point game, and he may not score 40+ today, but his performance is so comprehensive. His influence is not limited to scoring, but all-round.

......

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the Bucks' shot missed.

Zubac blocked Antetokounmpo tightly, while Zhuang Yu quickly rushed into the inside, grabbed the rebound, and launched a quick counterattack, rushing to the frontcourt and heading straight for the basket.

Several Bucks players were chasing hard, and Antetokounmpo was also chasing behind Zhuang Yu. Seeing Zhuang Yu rush to the free throw line and jump up, Antetokounmpo also jumped up. He stretched out his arms, wanting to block Zhuang Yu once.

Before the game, he boasted that he would block Zhuang Yu today, but he had not succeeded up to this point in the game and was still feeling frustrated.

However, at this moment, Zhuang Yu changed hands in the air and moved the ball to his left hand.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Antetokounmpo's hand hit Zhuang Yu's right wrist. He did not touch the basketball, but Zhuang Yu's body also lost balance.

beep!

The referee blew his whistle.

at the same time.

Zhuang Yu lost his balance and grabbed the basketball with his left hand and threw it into the basket based on his feeling. The basketball spun and bounced off the backboard and finally fell into the net.

"Oh..."

The auditorium was buzzing.

This ball is so beautiful.

The fans were cheering, screaming, and praising the team...

Zhuang Yu fell to the ground, his body tilted, but he was not seriously injured. He smiled and was pulled up by his teammates and stood on the free throw line.

Swish!

Extra penalty hit.

This 2+1 forced the Bucks to call another timeout.

At this time, the big screen showed Zhuang Yu's personal data for today: 36 points, 13 assists, and 9 rebounds. Now he is only one rebound away from achieving a triple-double.

Several Lakers players came off the court.

"Boss, I'll help you block the opponent later, and you can grab another rebound."

"Yes, we will all help you get the person."

Several people expressed their willingness to help Zhuang Yu block the ball and let him grab another rebound. He had to get a triple-double today, otherwise it would be a shame.

Zhuang Yu smiled and did not refuse.

He didn't deliberately pursue a triple-double, but now he is only one rebound away, and as his teammates said, it would be a shame if he didn't get it.

......

The pause ends.

At this time, there were only more than two minutes left in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers were still leading by ten points.

The Bucks were always chasing points, but every time they narrowed the gap to just a few points, Zhuang Yu was always able to lead the Lakers to widen the gap again.

This made the Bucks very uncomfortable, and now there were only more than two minutes left, which was not enough for them.

As soon as he arrived at the frontcourt, Antetokounmpo took the initiative to ask for the ball and went straight to the basket, but he did not shoot himself. Instead, he attracted the defense and passed the ball to Middleton.

Because they need three-pointers at this time.

However, the Lakers also understood this, so they replaced Kuzma with Cunningham. Cunningham kept his eyes on Middleton, appeared in front of Middleton in time, and raised his hand, not giving Middleton the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer.

Middleton frowned and passed the ball to DiVincenzo.

Swish!

What was surprising was that DiVincenzo was very determined. He took a three-point shot immediately after receiving the ball, and he made the shot.

The point difference became 7 points.

For the Bucks, this score difference is definitely within reach.

......

Lakers possession of the ball.

After Holiday came to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Zhuang Yu. The others all moved away and Zhuang Yu played against DiVincenzo.

As soon as he saw Zhuang Yu was going to play one-on-one, Antetokounmpo immediately rushed over to help DiVincenzo defend, and Zhuang Yu passed the ball to Anderson.

The ones who should be anxious at this time are the Bucks. The Lakers are still leading by 7 points, so there is naturally no need to rush for time. Just use up a dozen seconds first.

After passing the ball, Zhuang Yu started moving quickly, using the cover of his teammates to get rid of them, and then came to the right baseline, more than one meter inside the three-point line.

Whoosh!

The ball was passed.

"not good."

"Change of defense..."

The Bucks team quickly switched defense, Antetokounmpo flew towards Zhuang Yu, and Zhuang Yu jumped up the moment he received the ball.

This is still a fallback.

"Leaning back again."

Antetokounmpo was annoyed. He wanted to block Zhuang Yu throughout the game, but he failed every time.

This time he tried his best and tried desperately to block Zhuang Yu's shot.

Maybe it was the explosion of potential, or maybe it was... In short, Antetokounmpo finally touched the basketball this time, and his fingertips touched the basketball.

Even though it was just a little bit, he was pretty sure he had touched it.

"Success." Antetokounmpo was delighted, "I finally blocked him."

However, the next moment, a swish sound came from behind him, causing the expression on Antetokounmpo's face to freeze instantly, and he was completely stunned.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the basket, somewhat unable to believe it.

However, the nets were shaking, the cheers of the home fans could be heard in his ears, and none of the players on the court moved...all of this was reminding him that the ball finally went in.

"But I clearly encountered it."

"why?"

"This ball shouldn't have gone in..."

At this moment, Antetokounmpo felt unwell.

He tried hard throughout the entire game, wanting to block Zhuang Yu, and finally touched the basketball this time, but the ball still went in.

So, is this still considered a block?
