Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

There is not enough playing time for the Raptors.

There was only a minute and a dozen seconds left, and the Raptors could only shoot three-pointers every time, but it was not easy to make a shot.

In the last minute or so, George made a three-pointer, but it only narrowed the gap between the two sides to 6 points.

As the game time was running out, the Raptors knew that there was no hope for this game.

There was no choice but to execute the foul tactic. When the game ended, the score was fixed at 115:109. The Lakers defeated the Raptors by 6 points and won the game.

For the Lakers, Zhuang Yu scored 35 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, staging a comeback as a king.

Leonard scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists for the Raptors, while George scored 27 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, but the two of them became empty-handed brothers.

“I didn’t win.”

"It's just that there's one more Zhuang Yu, why is the gap so big? The Lakers lost consecutive games before..."

The home fans were a little depressed.

In the previous period of time, the Lakers lost more than they won, and their record dropped to third in the Western Conference.

It's just one more person. Even if that person is Zhuang Yu, a superstar, the gap is still too big.

......

After the game, major sports media reported on it.

Many media outlets posted the words "The King Returns".

It only took Zhuang Yu one game to crush all the doubts, announcing his comeback to the outside world, declaring that he had returned strongly and was still the "No. 1 player in the league."

After the game, all the voices of doubt disappeared.

The Lakers left Toronto for their next away game, and they will then face a "five-game road trip", with five consecutive games being away games, including one back-to-back game.

However, Zhuang Yu's return and the win over the Raptors boosted the morale of the Lakers and the players' confidence. So what if they had five consecutive away games?

They are not afraid of any challenge.

......

A day later, the Lakers challenged the Thunder on the road.

The Thunder's lineup has changed dramatically this season and they have completely entered the rebuilding stage. Needless to say, their strength is at the bottom of the Western Conference.

So there was no suspense in this game from the beginning. The Lakers could be said to have crushed the Thunder from the very beginning, leading by as many as 19 points at most.

Until the end of the game, the Lakers were still leading by 15 points.

In this game, Zhuang Yu broke out again, scoring 33 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists, another double-double.

During the period of rest due to injury, Zhuang Yu had dropped to second place in the regular season MVP list, but after only two games, Zhuang Yu fought back to the first place.

At the same time, the results of the second round of the 2020 NBA All-Star voting were announced.

When the first round of results were announced, Zhuang Yu happened to be sidelined due to injury, but even so, at the end of the first round, Zhuang Yu's votes were still first in the Western Conference and also first in the league.

However, after the first round, during the second round of voting, Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Eastern Conference performed extremely well, topping the regular season MVP list, and his All-Star votes also surpassed Zhuang Yu, making him number one in the league.

In the West, James' vote count grew rapidly, and the gap between him and Zhuang Yu became smaller and smaller.

It seemed that James was about to surpass Zhuang Yu in the vote count, but Zhuang Yu came back and consolidated the lead in just one game, and secured first place in the Western Conference in two games.

Moreover, after two games, Zhuang Yu's vote count increased rapidly. When the results of the second round of voting were announced, people found that Zhuang Yu's vote count had returned to first place in the league.

He is still the ticket king!

The half-month break due to injury didn't seem to have much impact on him.

"Sure enough, I knew that as long as Zhuang Yu returns, he will immediately return to the top vote-getting position."

"Poor Antetokounmpo, he must have thought his chance had come. However, he was dethroned after only a few days of being the top vote-getter."

"Zhuang Yu's selection as an All-Star starter is a foregone conclusion. I am more concerned about the Lakers' record. They have fallen to third in the Western Conference. I wonder if the Lakers' record can return to first place after Zhuang Yu's comeback."

Amid people's discussions, the Lakers welcomed the next game.

This is a back-to-back game, with the Lakers sitting on the road against the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls' Zach LaVine's performance has improved this season, but the team's record has not improved much.

The Bulls played well in the first quarter and even had a slight advantage.

But when entering the second quarter, the Lakers began to exert their strength and quickly reversed the score.

After that, the Lakers continued to lead until the last quarter, when Zhuang Yu scored 11 points in three minutes and the game lost its suspense early.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Bulls 120:110 and won another victory.

After Zhuang Yu's comeback, the Lakers have won three consecutive games. In these three games, Zhuang Yu scored 37 points in one game, 35 points in one game, and 31 points in one game. He scored 30+ in all three games, and his average score per game reached 34.3 points.

And the Lakers' winning streak continues.

After that, the Lakers had two more away games. In one of the games, Zhuang Yu scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists. The Lakers played in many places and easily defeated their opponents.

In another game, Zhuang Yu scored 41 points, plus 7 rebounds and 12 assists, leading the team to defeat the opponent. The Lakers won all five away games.

After returning to their home court, they won another 6-game winning streak. After Zhuang Yu's comeback, the Lakers have won 11 consecutive games, which surprised people.

You know, before Zhuang Yu was injured, the Lakers had never won so many consecutive games. After all, they were still missing Lopez and Rose.

Yet the facts are right before our eyes.

After Zhuang Yu returned from injury, the Lakers' overall condition is getting better and better, and the impact of the absence of Lopez and Rose seems to have completely disappeared.

Of course, this is due to Zhuang Yu’s outstanding performance during this period.

During the time when Zhuang Yu was injured, there were many doubts from the outside world, who believed that his injury was not optimistic and might even affect his performance in subsequent games. However, after returning from injury, Zhuang Yu first proved himself with a strong comeback and dispelled the doubts from the outside world.

Then he played extremely well in each of the next 10 games. After 11 games, Zhuang Yu averaged 35.8 points, 8.8 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game, shocking everyone.

In the past three seasons, Zhuang Yu averaged more than 30 points per game, and in one season he even won the regular season scoring title.

However, even so, he has never had such a terrifying personal performance. Not only is his scoring ability amazing, but he is also very comprehensive.

"This is really terrifying. Even LeBron James at his peak has never achieved such an exaggerated number."

"Yes, even LeBron James in the 18 playoffs had overall statistics that were slightly inferior to Zhuang Yu's."

"I have a feeling that this season, Zhuang Yu may once again take the regular season scoring title and regular season MVP..."

People were all amazed and shocked.

In the 17-18 season playoffs, James played the best performance of his career, which can be described as the ultimate personal heroism.

In that season, he averaged 34.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 9.0 assists per game in the playoffs, making people call him a god.

And now, Zhuang Yu's personal data in the past 11 games even exceeds that of James in the 17-18 season.

In fact, after these 11 games, Zhuang Yu's average score has reached 33.4 points, which is only a few tenths of a point away from Harden.

At the same time, the NBA officially announced the starting lineups for the Eastern and Western Conferences for the 2020 NBA All-Star Game.

The All-Star voting ended a few days ago.

After three rounds of voting, Zhuang Yu won the Western Conference vote leader without any suspense, and was also the league's vote leader.

He received a total of 556 million votes, setting a new record for NBA All-Star voting, 2 more votes than second-place LeBron James.

This can be said to be very exaggerated. You have to know that LeBron James' fan base is there. He is the favorite to win the All-Star vote every time. Even if he fails to win the top vote, he usually won't be far behind. But this time he actually had 80 votes less than Zhuang Yu.

Don’t forget that Zhuang Yu was sidelined for half a month due to injury.

But even in such a situation, Zhuang Yu still won as many as 556 million votes, winning the title of the undisputed king of votes.

The reason why it is undisputed is not because Zhuang Yu has a lot more votes, but because Zhuang Yu's performance during this period is really too explosive.

If this is not enough to become the All-Star voting king, then who else is qualified?

When the results of the third round were announced, Zhuang Yu ranked first in the league, first in the Western Conference, and also the first backcourt player in the Western Conference.

Ranked second among Western Conference backcourt players is Luka Doncic.

He received a total of 459 million votes, which was also amazing and surprised the fans that a second-year player could receive so many All-Star votes.

This popularity is really exaggerated.

In third place is James Harden, who received a total of 293 million votes. In fourth place is Damian Lillard, who received a total of 98 votes. Starting from Damian Lillard, the gap in the number of votes between him and the previous one is quite large.

The fifth is Russell Westbrook, the sixth is Stephen Curry, the seventh is Donovan Mitchell, and the eighth is Devin Booker...

When the All-Star voting began, Curry's votes were still among the top Western Conference guards, but he suffered an injury not long after and has not returned to the game yet. In addition, the Warriors have not had a good record this season, so after three rounds of All-Star voting, Curry's votes ranked only sixth among Western Conference backcourt players.

As for the Western Conference frontcourt players, LeBron James ranked first and Anthony Davis ranked second. The two Clippers stars ranked first and second.

It is worth mentioning that Anthony Davis also received a lot of votes. He received a total of 441 million votes, only 33 less than James. Compared with Nikola Jokic, who came in third, he received a full 174 million more votes.

The gap is indeed huge.

Following them are Carmelo Anthony, Kristas Porzingis, Karl-Anthony Towns, etc.

As for the Eastern Conference backcourt players, Trae Young ranked first with 206 million votes, Kyrie Irving ranked second with 181 million votes, Kemba Walker ranked third, Kyle Lowry ranked fourth, and Zach LaVine ranked fifth...

The first place among Eastern Conference frontcourt players is Giannis Antetokounmpo. There is no suspense. His votes are far ahead in the Eastern Conference, reaching 447 million.

The second place is Kawhi Leonard (380 million), the third is Joel Embiid (243 million), the fourth is Paul George, the fifth is Jimmy Butler, and the sixth is Jayson Tatum...
