Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

After a while, the fourth quarter came to an end.

At this time, the Lakers were still leading by 14 points, and there were only two minutes left in the game, so there was no hope for the Nuggets.

on the field.

Jokic asked for the ball in the low post, then shot high, using his flexible footwork to dribble past Zubac and score again, narrowing the gap to 12 points.

So far, he has scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, playing a "superstar" level performance.

However, Zhuang Yu is indeed at the T0 level.

Jokic had just scored a goal when he turned around and broke through to cause Jokic to foul. He then made both free throws to retaliate.

When the two free throws were made, Zhuang Yu's personal score had reached 38 points. In addition, he had 9 rebounds and 12 assists. He was only one rebound away from a triple-double.

The score difference became 14 points again.

It can be said that the game has lost its suspense.

However, to people's surprise, just when the Nuggets missed another shot and the Lakers got the rebound, Coach Scott actually called a timeout.

"You still want to call a timeout at this time?"

"It should be a substitution. Prepare to replace the main players. After all, the game has lost its suspense."

But when the timeout ended, people found that main players such as Zhuang Yu were still on the court.

what's the situation?

People were stunned.

Zhuang Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought the coach called a timeout to replace him and others with substitute players, but he didn't expect that Coach Scott called this timeout just to rearrange the tactics, not the offensive tactics, but the defensive tactics.

Of course, the purpose was not to defend anyone, but to let Zubac, Anderson and others block the position for Zhuang Yu so that Zhuang Yu could grab another rebound.

this......

Zhuang Yu was speechless at that time.

I've heard of players who don't want to be substituted in order to get a double-double or triple-double, and insist on continuing to play to get a rebound or an assist so as to get a double-double or triple-double, but I've never heard of a coach taking the initiative to ask a player to get a triple-double.

Zhuang Yu really wanted to say that I didn’t want to brush up my stats. One less rebound is one less. Not getting a triple-double doesn’t mean I’ve lost any meat.

But Coach Scott refused.

Not only did he refuse to do it, his teammates also refused to do it.

A group of people eagerly expressed that they would help Zhuang Yu to get a good position and let him grab another rebound to get a triple-double.

What can Zhuang Yu say?

It’s hard to refuse such kindness!

So this scene happened. The game had clearly lost its suspense. The Lakers called a timeout when they were leading by 14 points, but they did not replace their main players, which made the fans in the audience and the Nuggets players a little confused.

What are the Lakers doing?

Of course, when the timeout ended and the game resumed, they immediately understood.

After the timeout, the Lakers did not give the ball to Zhuang Yu, but Holiday threw a three-pointer.

The point is not this. The point is that when Holiday shot the three-pointer, Zubac, Anderson, and Kuzma were all standing in the inside. The three of them blocked Jokic and Millsap and blocked the two of them.

But when the ball bounced out of the basket, none of Zubac, Kuzma, and Anderson went to fight for the rebound.

"this......"

This scene shocked the fans.

The basketball bounced out of the basket, but no one went to fight for it. Jokic and Millsap were stuck, while Zubac and the other two didn't even look at it.

At this time, a figure rushed into the inside.

People just reacted and saw Zhuang Yu rushing into the inside and grabbing the rebound.

"Wow..."

There was an uproar in the audience.

The fans now understood.

It turned out that the Lakers called a timeout and made such a bizarre arrangement just to allow Zhuang Yu to grab a rebound.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhuang Yu, making him feel uncomfortable all over. He wished he could dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with his toes.

What a shame.

This made others think that he just wanted to improve his stats. He really didn't want to rush in to grab the rebound, but seeing that his teammates were working hard to block space for him, he couldn't bear to let them down...but it was too embarrassing.

"I must tell Coach Scott about this after the game. Don't do this again next time." Zhuang Yu felt that he still had some dignity to save.

What made Zhuang Yu even more speechless was that when he grabbed the rebound, everyone seemed to be stunned, even the Nuggets players did not move.

Well, maybe they are speechless in their hearts too.

But you guys are not moving, isn't this forcing me to score?

Zhuang Yu really felt embarrassed, but at this point, his instinct still drove him to throw the ball towards the basket.

Swish!

With this shot, Zhuang Yu not only got an extra rebound, but also scored two more points.

After scoring the goal, Zhuang Yu quickly signaled to Coach Scott to replace him. He originally came up just to grab a rebound, but this time he got two more points, both the rebound and the point.

"beep!"

When the 76ers passed the ball, the referee blew the whistle, pointed at Zhuang Yu and gave him a foul.

It was Zhuang Yu who took the initiative to commit the foul. He just wanted to get a foul so that he could be substituted. Several Nuggets players looked at him with strange eyes.

"hehe......"

Coach Scott didn't feel embarrassed at all. With a smile on his face, he replaced Zhuang Yu, Anderson, Holiday and others.

At this time, Zhuang Yu's personal data for today was displayed on the big screen: 40 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, a triple-double of 40+10+10.

好嘛，本来是30+10+10的三双，这下愣是给刷成了40+10+10，庄宇感觉已经没脸了。

Now even if he says he is not a brush, no one will believe him, right?

But this is really not what I want to brush!

"Now Zhuang Yu has a triple-double of 40+10+10."

"I thought Zhuang Yu was just going to get a rebound to get a triple-double, but he ended up getting two points to make up for his 40 points."

"Haha, who could have thought the Lakers would do this? Didn't you see that even the Nuggets players were dumbfounded? When they saw Zhuang Yu grab the rebound, no one stepped up to defend."

"I have to say that the Nuggets are all good people. They knew that Zhuang Yu was only two points away from 40 points, so they didn't defend him and let him get two points."

The home fans were happy.

It's so interesting.

It's just that the Nuggets players feel uncomfortable.

Several people looked at each other, feeling annoyed. Why did they get so stunned just now? They let Zhuang Yu score two points in vain.

The game had completely lost its suspense. With a 16-point difference and only a few dozen seconds left, it was impossible to catch up.

Coach Malone also replaced all the main players after the free throws.

......

Soon, the game is over.

The score was fixed at 124:112. In the last few seconds, the Nuggets scored a goal in addition to two free throws, and the difference between the two sides became 12 points.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets by 12 points, won the game, and extended their winning streak to 19 consecutive wins.

19 consecutive wins in the regular season!

The Lakers haven't had such an outstanding winning streak in many years.

When the game was over, the Nuggets players went straight into the locker room. No one greeted or hugged Zhuang Yu. They were all cursing Zhuang Yu for being shameless in their hearts.

But Zhuang Yu himself was also wronged.

It's not what I want to swipe, and...why don't you guys defend? If you don't come over to defend, of course I have to shoot.

A reporter came over and wanted to interview Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu pulled Clarkson over and said, "You interview him. I'm busy."

After saying that, he quickly ran into the player tunnel.

It's so shameful.

After a while, teammates also returned to the locker room.

A group of people surrounded Zhuang Yu and excitedly congratulated him, congratulating him on getting another triple-double, a 40+10+10 triple-double.

"I didn't mean to do that." Zhuang Yu could only explain with a wry smile, "I didn't mean to cheat the data. Don't do that next time."

Everyone laughed.

As for Zhuang Yu saying don't do it this way next time, how can that be possible? I will have to do it this way next time, haha......

After some laughter, everyone started to clean up.

Zhuang Yu found Coach Scott and told him seriously that he must not do this again next time and he really didn't want to inflate his stats.

Coach Scott agreed readily, but he agreed too quickly. Zhuang Yu always had a feeling that he would do the same thing next time.

"Oh...my reputation." Zhuang Yu could only lament.

After this game, the regular season will come to a temporary end. They will have a few days of rest and will usher in the 2020 NBA All-Star Weekend.

For some players, All-Star Weekend is a short break, while for others, it is a grand event.

For Zhuang Yu, the All-Star Weekend is a chore.

Of course, being selected as an All-Star is an honor for a player, a recognition from the fans, a reflection of his own strength, and a symbol of honor.

But Zhuang Yu has been selected as an All-Star for several consecutive seasons.

He has played in the Rookie Game and won the Rookie Game MVP; he has participated in individual competitions and has completed three individual competition Grand Slams; he has also participated in the All-Star Game, more than once, and won the All-Star Game MVP... So for Zhuang Yu, the All-Star Weekend is just like that.

This time, even Li Huilan, Zhuang Zhihong, An Changhe, Xi Juan and others have lost interest in the All-Star Weekend and said they don't want to come.

Only Tang Wan was still full of interest.

Originally, Zhuang Zhihong and Jiang Qin didn't want her to come, but since Li Huilan, Xi Juan and the others were not going, they simply didn't go and let An Xin take Xiao Nuomi over so that the young couple could spend the holiday together.

As a result, the girl called An Xin herself.

An Xin immediately agreed to take her with him.

So on the second day after the Lakers vs. Nuggets game, An Xin brought Xiao Nuomi and Tang Wan to Los Angeles.

As soon as he saw Zhuang Yu, Xiao Nuomi rushed over. The little guy hugged Zhuang Yu's thigh, and Tang Wan hugged Zhuang Yu's arm, like two portable pendants.

Zhuang Yu could only smile bitterly at An Xin.

An Xin chuckled, stuffed Xiao Nuomi into Zhuang Yu's hand, and then just looked at Zhuang Yu. Suddenly, her eyes became red.

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Yu was startled.

"It's okay, I'm just a little scared. It's a good thing you didn't take a helicopter that day." An Xin said.

Although so many days have passed, she still feels scared when she thinks about the helicopter accident that day.

If Zhuang Yu had boarded that helicopter with Kobe that day, they might have been separated forever by now.

Zhuang Yu hugged An Xin and comforted her softly, "I'm fine, right? Good things will come to you, don't worry."

An Xin nodded obediently, then smiled.

The group left the airport and returned to the villa.

In fact, apart from Tang Wan, Lian Anxin had no interest in the All-Star Weekend. The only reason she came here was because Zhuang Yu didn't have any games these days.
