Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

In the audience, the fans burst into huge cheers.

This is a left-handed mid-range jump shot. The difficulty is naturally self-evident, but it still looks very easy for Zhuang Yu. His movements are very smooth and there is no sign of force at all.

"It actually...went in."

Embiid muttered to himself, lost in thought for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, clenched his fists and said to himself: "This is luck, this must be luck."

"Yes, that's luck."

"No one can do this. You can't shoot with your left hand as accurately as with your right hand."

This ball was a big blow to Embiid. He could only comfort himself in this way, otherwise his mentality would collapse.

Only a few dozen seconds had passed when Zhuang Yu once again shot with his left hand.

This time he was not facing Embiid, but a one-on-one against Milton after a mismatch. After a breakthrough, he made a sudden stop and faded away, still shooting with his left hand.

The fans in the audience couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw this scene. Embiid also widened his eyes, unable to believe it.

How could he dare to do this?

"No, this ball will definitely not go in, it absolutely won't go in." Embiid yelled in his heart, he didn't believe that he could make the ball in this way.

This is even more difficult than the previous one because this ball is not only a left-handed shot, but also a fade away.

Unless it's God.

However, the next moment, a slight sound came from behind him.

That was the sound of a basketball going through the net.

Embiid's body became stiff. He turned his head with difficulty to look at the basket, only to see that the net was still shaking, as if it was smiling at him - but it was just a mockery.

In an instant, Embiid's mentality collapsed.

An incomparable feeling of failure made him feel as if his spine had been pulled out. His body even became hunched and his face was filled with dejection.

He was heard mumbling to himself: "There really is someone who can do this. He can actually do such a thing. It's too scary, too scary."

If once is luck, what about twice?

Embiid could no longer use luck to comfort himself. He was completely defeated by Zhuang Yu.

At the same time, the fans in the audience were cheering enthusiastically.

The more frustrated Embiid is at this moment, the more excited the home fans are.

"Oh my God, this is crazy. Zhuang Yu can actually shoot with his left hand and still be so accurate."

"I was originally worried that his right hand might be injured and that it would be difficult for him to continue scoring, but I didn't expect his left hand to be so strong."

"What is a genius? This is a true genius. For ordinary people, things that are extremely difficult are so simple and easy for him, as if it was supposed to be this way... If the right hand can't shoot, then use the left hand, haha..."

For a time, the Lakers were greatly encouraged and their morale was high.

The 76ers, on the other hand, were in low morale.

Several players hung their heads like defeated roosters.

"Hey......"

Coach Brown sighed and called a timeout.

But at this moment his eyes were a little confused. The opponent was so strong, what else could they do?

......

Here.

When Zhuang Yu came off the court, all the Lakers players on the bench jumped up, rushed towards Zhuang Yu and surrounded him.

Cunningham shouted excitedly: "Brother, you are so strong. It turns out that you can really do the same with your left hand as with your right hand."

Others were also talking at once.

Being an NBA player naturally requires a balance between both hands. For most NBA players, dribbling with the left hand and layup with the left hand are not difficult tasks.

In his daily games and training, Zhuang Yu often uses his left hand to complete layups and even lob shots.

But it is extremely rare to complete a fadeaway jump shot with the left hand like today.

Even Kyrie Irving, who is recognized by the league as having the best ball handling skills and the most coordinated left and right hands, usually uses his left hand to throw shots, layups, layups, and pull-ups in the game...

I've never seen him shoot a mid-range jump shot with his left hand.

And today they saw it.

"Actually, there are some differences. It can't catch up with the right hand..." Zhuang Yu tried to explain, but none of his teammates believed him.

You made two left-handed jump shots in a row.

Still don’t admit it?

In fact, even for Zhuang Yu, it is impossible to achieve absolute balance between his left and right hands.

What he had said to Coach Scott before, that he could do with his left hand everything he could do with his right hand, was actually a lie.

He can perform technical moves, but his hit rate and stability are definitely not as good as those using his right hand.

Everyone only saw that Zhuang Yu made two consecutive left-handed jump shots, but overlooked one point, that is, Zhuang Yu did not shoot the three-pointer with his left hand, and did not even try.

When it comes to shooting, the farther away from the basket, the more difficult it is.

What's more, when using his left hand, Zhuang Yu can shoot with his left hand near the basket or near the elbow.

But the hit rate is not stable, which is much worse than using the right hand. I was able to score two goals just now, which was somewhat due to luck.

But if the distance is extended to outside the three-point line and you want to shoot with your left hand, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

Even for Zhuang Yu, the hit rate will become uncontrollable.

But who would delve into these matters at this time?

......

The timeout ended quickly and players from both teams returned to the court, with only one minute and 55 seconds left in the game, less than two minutes.

The score between the two sides was 117:114, with the Lakers leading by three points.

The 76ers have the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, Simmons did not pass the ball to Embiid or Horford, but chose to call for a pick-and-roll and then switch defense and single out Zhuang Yu.

This is the tactic that Coach Brown arranged during the timeout just now.

Before, he was thinking about how to defend Zhuang Yu, but he overlooked one point, that is, how to take advantage of Zhuang Yu's injury in his right hand to attack Zhuang Yu in the offensive end line.

Simmons first dribbled the ball between his legs continuously, and then suddenly accelerated to break through to the left. Because Zhuang Yu's right hand was injured (Zhuang Yu's right hand side is Simmons' left hand side), it would be difficult for Zhuang Yu to defend if he broke through from the left.

Sure enough, Zhuang Yu was unable to stop Simmons this time, allowing Simmons to force his way through. After breaking into the inside, he jumped towards Zubac.

"beep!"

The referee blew the whistle and gave Zubac a defensive foul.

This time Zubac had no other choice but to foul Simmons and send him to the free throw line, but Simmons' free throws were not accurate.

Sure enough, Simmons only made one of two free throws, and the score became 115:117, a two-point difference, with more than a minute left in the game.

Lakers possession of the ball.

After Holiday came to the frontcourt, he first wasted some time, then called for a pick-and-roll, and then broke through and passed the ball to Anderson.

Anderson and Zhuang Yu passed the ball hand to hand, and the ball was given to Zhuang Yu.

When Zhuang Yu got the ball, several players of the 76ers team became nervous.

For a period of time in the middle of this quarter, they thought that Zhuang Yu was no longer a threat on the offensive end after his right hand was injured, and they ended up suffering a great loss.

They dare not take it lightly now.

In addition to Simmons, other players also stared at Zhuang Yu. When they saw Zhuang Yu break through, they immediately tightened their defense line and surrounded Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu passed the ball and passed it back to Holiday.

Holiday took a three-pointer.

"boom!"

It’s a pity that the ball didn’t hit the target.

Fortunately, the 76ers failed to score in their next attack. There were only a few dozen seconds left in the game, and the Lakers were still leading by two points.

At this time, the situation on the field became delicate.

......

76ers have the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, Simmons still played one-on-one against Zhuang Yu and broke through directly, but this time the Lakers added help defense, so Simmons had to pass the ball.

After two more passes, the ball was passed to Embiid, who first played with his back to the basket, and after taking two steps, he suddenly turned over and leaned back.

This doesn't look like a center's move at all, but that's what he likes to do.

And the ball went in.

After this goal was scored, the score between the two sides became 117:117.

"The score is tied."

"It doesn't matter, we still have one more shot, we just have to score this goal."

The home fans all frowned.

It would be a bad situation to let the opponent tie the score at this time.

Coach Scott called a timeout and reorganized the game.

After returning to the court, Holiday called a pick-and-roll tactic after reaching the frontcourt, and Zhuang Yu used the cover of his teammates to get rid of it, and after going around, he returned to the three-point line.

At the same time, his teammates passed the ball to him, and Zhuang Yu pretended to shoot a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

"not good."

"Hurry up and rush over..."

The 76ers players were horrified, and Embiid rushed over without thinking, jumped up and stretched out his arms.

However, when he jumped up, he found that Zhuang Yu did not jump up. He immediately realized that he was in trouble and hurriedly tried to stop his movements, but it was too late.

Only then did Zhuang Yu jump up, lean towards Embiid, and push the ball out...

In fact, even if Embiid didn't rush over, Zhuang Yu didn't plan to shoot a three-pointer. He didn't have much confidence in shooting a three-pointer with his left hand, let alone at such a critical moment.

Originally he just wanted to test it out, but he didn't expect Embiid to actually pounce on him, so he wouldn't be polite then.

"beep!"

The referee blew the whistle and gave Embiid a foul.

Although the ball did not go in, Zhuang Yu will stand on the free throw line to take three free throws.

For a moment, Coach Brown's face fell and he couldn't help cursing: "Shit, he can shoot a three-pointer with his left hand. What a joke, why don't you let him shoot one? You also jumped on this kind of ball, are you an idiot?"

He put his hand on his forehead and thought to himself that it was over.

Although it is certain that Zhuang Yu cannot make a shot with his left hand from outside the three-point line, any guard with good shooting skills should be able to have a good hit rate at the free throw line, let alone Zhuang Yu.

After all, this is a free throw and there is no defense.

Sure enough, when Zhuang Yu stood on the free throw line, he made the first free throw steadily, and the second free throw was a little off and did not go in, but Zhuang Yu quickly adjusted and made the third free throw again.

He used his left hand throughout the game and made two of three free throws. The score became 119:117 and the Lakers regained the lead by two points.

At this time, there were only a dozen seconds left in the game, which meant that the 76ers had only one last chance to attack.

Coach Brown shook his head in frustration and called the last timeout. When the players came off the court, he still controlled his temper, spread out the tactical board and made some arrangements.

This is their last chance - they still have to attack Zhuang Yu.
