Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

A "bang" sound came from behind Embiid.

Embiid's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly realized that this was not a lob shot but a pass.

Yes, this was not a lob shot but a pass. When Embiid rushed over to block Zhuang Yu, Zubac under the basket was left open.

Zhuang Yu passed the ball just right to the edge of the basket. Zubac jumped up and made an alley-oop slam dunk, hanging his hands on the basket and pulling it out of shape.

"Roar......"

"It was an alley-oop."

The home fans became excited again and cheered loudly.

Coach Brown on the sidelines was shaking his head, secretly sighing that Embiid was still a little impatient. He was only thinking about blocking Zhuang Yu and preventing him from scoring, but forgot about Zubac behind him.

In fact, in Coach Brown's opinion, even if Embiid didn't jump up, it would be difficult for Zhuang Yu to score the ball.

Do you really think that your left hand can be the same as your right hand?

Didn’t you see that Zhuang Yu broke through in both rounds? Let him shoot one with his left hand from outside the three-point line and show me. If he makes it, I’ll be really convinced.

After this goal was scored, the score difference became two points.

Fortunately, the 76ers successfully scored the ball on the offensive end. It was not Embiid but Horford. He singled out Anderson in the low post and hit a rebound.

However, what made the 76ers a little depressed was that in the next few rounds, they were unable to limit the Lakers' scoring on the defensive end.

It didn't come from Zhuang Yu's score, but it was related to Zhuang Yu.

In these rounds, Zhuang Yu dribbled the ball with his left hand almost the entire time, but he was still very skillful and steady. Simmons tried to steal the ball more than once but failed. Instead, Zhuang Yu took advantage of the moment when he stole the ball and suddenly accelerated to pass him.

After passing Simmons, Zhuang Yu attacked the basket, but he did not shoot himself. Instead, he attracted the defense and then passed the ball to the outside.

Facts have proved that even with only his left hand, Zhuang Yu can still complete breakthroughs and passes.

And the pass is very accurate, always reaching the teammate in the best position.

After Zhuang Yu returned to the court, the Lakers had a backbone, and the players' condition immediately changed.

When Zhuang Yu passed the ball, his teammates seized the opportunity well.

For a moment, the Lakers launched a wave of attacks, not only catching up with the score, but also overtaking it by 2 points.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Brown called a timeout with a gloomy face.

When several players came off the court, he could no longer suppress his anger and yelled at them: "Are you all idiots? You all know that Zhuang Yu's right hand is injured and he can only use his left hand. Can't you defend him like that? Let him shoot. Do you still need to defend him so far forward? I don't believe he can make every shot with his left hand."

Several players lowered their heads and remained speechless.

They also reacted and felt secretly annoyed. They knew that Zhuang Yu had an injury in his right hand, and he could score several goals with just his left hand. When defending Zhuang Yu, there was no need for them to be too nervous. Instead, they missed other Lakers players.

Look at the Lakers' scores during this period. Apart from Zhuang Yu's left-handed jump shot at the beginning, did he score any other points?

Not a single point.

All of them were earned by other Lakers players.

"Coach, we know what to do," Simmons said obediently.

Coach Brown's tone finally calmed down. He took a breath, adjusted his mood and said, "Zhuang Yu's right hand is injured. He can't score like before. So we don't need to be too nervous. Now we should pay more attention to the other players of the Lakers. Do you understand?"

After Zhuang Yu returned to the court, the Lakers' other players' conditions obviously changed. Coach Brown felt that this was what they should pay attention to.

As for Zhuang Yu...

Playing with an injury is indeed worthy of respect, but the only role it can play is to boost morale.

However, the time since Zhuang Yu came back did make Coach Brown depressed.

Before Zhuang Yu came back, they were still leading by 6 points. However, Zhuang Yu was clearly injured, but when he returned to the court, he led the Lakers to tie the score at 6 points and even overtook by two points.

How the hell, how can I not be depressed?

"Remember, defend well." Coach Brown said viciously, "There are only three minutes left in the game, play well in these three minutes. I don't blame you for not being able to defend before, but if you still can't defend now, I will scold you."

Several players thought to themselves, didn’t you just curse?

However, no one dared to say it out loud, and they all promised that they would definitely take precautions.

Just as Coach Brown said, it was understandable that they couldn't defend against the Lakers' offense before because Zhuang Yu was too unstoppable.

But now Zhuang Yu is injured. It would be unreasonable if they still can't defend against the Lakers' offense.

.....

Here.

Zhuang Yu and others surrounded Coach Scott, and Anderson, Holiday and others had excitement in their eyes.

Their morale was low and they were in a slump. Although they didn't want to lose the game, they saw no hope.

But Zhuang Yu came back.

Sure enough, when Zhuang Yu returned to the court, everything was different.

In just a few minutes they had already reversed the score. Even though Zhuang Yu only scored 2 points, as long as Zhuang Yu was on the court, they had the confidence to defeat any opponent.

However, Coach Scott frowned slightly and said, "You played very well in the last few minutes. You all played very well."

His eyes fell on Holiday, Kuzma, Anderson, and Zubac: "But the other side will definitely strengthen their defense against you later."

After saying this, Coach Scott looked at Zhuang Yu.

Before others understood, Zhuang Yu already understood.

The coach is worried that the opponent will strengthen their defense against Holiday and others. If Holiday and others don't play well, they will have to rely on Zhuang Yu to score. Can he do it?

After all, Zhuang Yu’s right hand was basically unable to exert force, so he could only rely on his left hand.

"Coach." Zhuang Yu straightened his chest, "Please believe me."

"Okay." Coach Scott nodded heavily.

The words "Please believe me" made him put aside all his worries and concerns. There was nothing to worry about. Just leave it to Zhuang Yu and the players.

......

The pause ends.

Players from both sides return to the court.

With only three minutes left in the game, the 76ers were trailing by two points.

Simmons took the ball in the backcourt and started the offense. After reaching the frontcourt, he screened with Embiid and then passed the ball back to Embiid.

Embiid made a fake shot, but Zubac didn't jump for it. He snorted coldly and actually shot it.

Embiid had already made two three-pointers today, but neither of them hit the target, so Zubac did not rush forward.

However, with a "swish", the three-pointer actually went in.

"Shit." Zubac was depressed.

He always dived for the three-pointer when Embiid shot before, but Embiid didn't make any of them. He didn't dive for this one, but it went in.

He looked grim and a little self-blaming.

I should have pounced on it earlier.

"It's our turn to attack." Zhuang Yu patted Zubac.

......

Lakers offense.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Holiday looked at Zhuang Yu, who nodded at him, ran back to get the ball, and then tried to break through and pass the ball as before.

This was a test to test the 76ers' defense.

Sure enough, just as Coach Scott worried, the 76ers changed their defensive strategy and no longer guarded Zhuang Yu tightly. Instead, they strengthened the defense on Holiday, Anderson, Kuzma and others.

When Zhuang Yu broke through and passed the ball, the 76ers switched and made up for the deficit quickly, giving the Lakers no chance to shoot.

After several passes, the ball was given to Kuzma, who took a three-pointer but missed.

"Ah."

Coach Brown smiled; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

At this moment, the 76ers have already overtaken the score and are leading by one point. As long as they defend Kuzma, Holiday and others, they just need to keep playing like this.

what?

Do you think I have forgotten Zhuang Yu?

Oh, even if Zhuang Yu is an angel, he is an angel with broken wings. Can an angel with one wing broken still fly?

......

Lakers offense.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu gestured to his teammates.

Then Zhuang Yu and Holiday ran alternately. Holiday passed the ball to Zhuang Yu and provided a screen for him, while Zhuang Yu moved to the left.

It looked no different from before. After the hand-off, Zhuang Yu broke through, still controlling the ball with his left hand and breaking through to the left.

Seeing this situation, the 76ers players responded subconsciously, quickly switching defense, while Embiid guarded the inside.

Zhuang Yu was seen dribbling the ball with one hand at a very fast speed. He first dribbled the ball to the right. The defender subconsciously moved sideways, but Zhuang Yu pulled the ball back and used a "Sam Gold" to accelerate past the defender after pulling the ball back.

But there is Embiid behind him.

Embiid took a step forward, but didn't jump too far forward, because the coach said that Zhuang Yu could only make a layup or a near-rim shot at best, after all, he only had his left hand. Just keep him away from the basket, no need to jump too far forward.

However, this time Zhuang Yu did not choose to jump shot, but made a mid-range jump shot.

"What?" Embiid was shocked and a little stunned. He didn't expect that Zhuang Yu would actually dare to shoot with his left hand.

But he quickly calmed down. The ball would not go in. He just forced it. Shooting with the left hand is not the same as shooting with the right hand.

Definitely not going in.

The fans in the audience were also surprised. They thought that Zhuang Yu would either make a layup, a lob shot, or a pass. They never expected that he would make a mid-range jump shot.

And with his left hand.

Will this work?

The next moment, Zhuang Yu shook his wrist, and the basketball flew out from his fingertips, drew an arc, and finally flew above the basket.

Swish!

There was a soft sound and the ball was scored.
