Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Wow, Harden actually let Irving screen for him?"

"Are you trying to single out Zhuang Yu?"

"What does Harden want to do? He doesn't really want to single out Zhuang Yu, does he? Does he really think the best defensive player is that easy to beat?"

"That's not the case. Harden is still very strong. He is definitely in the top tier of the league. In terms of scoring ability, he is not inferior to Zhuang Yu at all. Why can't he play one-on-one against Zhuang Yu? At most, he can play one-on-one against Zhuang Yu, and then Zhuang Yu can play one-on-one against him. No one can defend against the other..."

Seeing that Harden actually asked Irving to pick and roll for him, and after switching defense, he took the initiative to look for Zhuang Yu for a one-on-one fight, the fans in the audience became excited.

What they love to watch most is this kind of star showdown, especially the showdown between superstars like Harden and Zhuang Yu, which has always been the highlight of the All-Star Game.

"Is there something wrong with this guy? Didn't you see that I didn't shoot today? I'm not competing with you for the MVP. Whether you can beat our Western team is your business. Why are you looking for me?" Zhuang Yu was speechless.

But since Harden wants to cause trouble for him, he naturally won't tolerate his bad habits.

You want to hit me by name, right?

Then give it a try.

Immediately, Zhuang Yu lowered his center of gravity and began to be serious.

Harden glanced at the basket, first dribbled the ball between his legs, then swung his shoulders back and forth, trying to confuse Zhuang Yu with fake moves and mobilize Zhuang Yu's defensive steps.

But it was no use.

"It still doesn't work." Harden sighed inwardly.

Although he had tried more than once or twice and knew that it would be difficult to confuse Zhuang Yu with a simple fake move, he was still unwilling to give up, or rather, unwilling to admit this fact.

But he failed again after trying again. Reality forced him to admit that his fake moves could hardly fool Zhuang Yu.

We can only use force.

Immediately, Harden accelerated, broke through one step to the right, changed direction in front of his body to switch the ball to his left hand, and then accelerated again, actively leaning towards Zhuang Yu, looking for a physical confrontation.

At this time, Harden hugged the ball, and at the moment when his body stopped, he suddenly moved sideways to the right and used a jump step to create distance between himself and Zhuang Yu.

Due to the physical confrontation between the two sides just now, Zhuang Yu was unable to pounce on Harden even though he could predict his movements in advance.

Harden threw the ball towards the basket.

The basketball hit the basket, bounced lightly, and then fell back in.

"nice shot."

"Pretty!"

There was applause from the audience.

This ball was indeed beautiful. Harden successfully singled out Zhuang Yu and scored the ball over Zhuang Yu's head, scoring two points.

After scoring the goal, Harden still looked at Zhuang Yu with a provocative look.

Zhuang Yu frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes: "Very good, I was thinking of being more relaxed today, but you insisted on provoking me. Do you really think I'm Hello Kitty?"

Seeing the change in Zhuang Yu's expression, Coach Scott, who was originally preparing to call a timeout to replace the starting players with other substitutes, stopped the action.

He knew that Zhuang Yu was a little angry.

Zhuang Yu got the ball in the backcourt, and after advancing to the frontcourt, he waved to his teammates, signaling everyone to move away, and then pointed at Harden: "You come."

Wow...

At this moment, the audience was in an uproar.

Zhuang Yu was too arrogant. He didn't even play the pick-and-roll or one-on-one game. When he got to the frontcourt, he told everyone that he wanted to play one-on-one. He also pointed at Harden, indicating with his actions that he wanted to play against him. Just tell me if you dare to come.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Harden, wondering what Harden would do?

How else can this be done?

Harden's face looked very ugly. After all, he was a top star in the league. He had never been treated like this before. It was simply a humiliation.

We must fight!

There was no time to retreat at this moment. If he really didn't dare to go up, he would immediately become the laughing stock of the whole stadium and be laughed at by the fans.

So Harden immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Zhuang Yu, with his hands open and sharp eyes, treating the situation with 12 points of seriousness.

He must defend this ball.

At this moment, the other players on the court all stepped back, looking like they were enjoying the show, and no one came over to interfere.

"It's probably a breakthrough."

"Harden probably can't defend it. Zhuang Yu's scoring ability is there..."

Everyone was wondering how Zhuang Yu would play this ball, would he shoot a three-pointer or break through, and whether Harden could defend it?

The next moment, Zhuang Yu began to act.

He dribbled the ball to his left hand, swung his shoulders, and grabbed the basketball with his left hand as if he was going to shoot it to the right, but in fact he just faked it and then continued to accelerate to the left.

"left."

Harden quickly retreated and moved sideways to get into position first, but immediately afterwards Zhuang Yu dribbled the ball from behind, switched the ball to his right hand and broke through from the right side.

Now Harden's steps started to become messy.

Zhuang Yu can always accurately judge his breakthrough intentions and fake moves, but Harden finds it difficult to judge Zhuang Yu's true intentions.

At this time, it was too late for Harden to adjust his pace again to block the breakthrough route. He staggered and was unable to adjust his pace in time.

Looks a little embarrassed.

However, at this moment, Zhuang Yu did not choose to pass Harden, but tapped his toes on the floor, took a double step back, and retreated to the three-point line to shoot.

"This is...Harden's signature double step-back jump shot!"

"Yes, almost exactly like Harden. I thought Zhuang Yu would break through for a layup, or... I didn't expect a double step-back three-pointer."

"It was intentional. He wanted to use Harden's most proud move to score over Harden's head."

In the audience, fans whispered.

Harden was annoyed, but it was impossible for him to block the shot.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw that the basketball had accurately penetrated the net. The white net was shaking, as if mocking him.

"Damn it." Harden cursed inwardly.

When it came to the offensive end, Harden still wanted to single out Zhuang Yu and give him a taste of his own medicine.

There was no need for a pick-and-roll this time. As soon as Harden came to the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu immediately went up to him and stood in front of Harden. Their eyes collided in the air, as if invisible sparks were flying.

"Right again."

"It seems that Zhuang Yu has also become serious."

"Who asked Harden to provoke him first? Zhuang Yu didn't take a single shot before, and he didn't want to score at all today, but Harden forced him to take a shot. Now that's it."

"Hey, this is a good thing. I came here today just to see Zhuang Yu score, but 8 minutes have passed and he hasn't made a single shot. How good it is now."

Some people complained, while others were delighted and excited. They just liked watching this kind of drama.

Harden is still playing one-on-one.

This time, Harden pretended to break through and actively leaned towards Zhuang Yu. After finding a physical confrontation, he also stepped back and jumped outside the three-point line.

Zhuang Yu actually dared to use his best move to score over his head.

This was a humiliation to him and he had to get back at them. He was going to return the favor with an answerball in the same way.

However, he still underestimated Zhuang Yu's defense.

Zhuang Yu had long anticipated that Harden might shoot a three-pointer, so when Harden pretended to break through, he had already secretly accumulated strength. By the time Harden stepped back to the three-point line and jumped up, Zhuang Yu had already pounced on him, jumped up, and stretched out his hand to fan the basketball.

This happened so quickly that even Harden was surprised.

He originally thought that if he could find a physical confrontation first, and since he was stepping back, Zhuang Yu would definitely not be able to pounce on him.

However, Zhuang Yu was too fast and had great bounce, so when Harden raised the ball, he found that Zhuang Yu's hand had already reached above his head.

This startled him and he instinctively quickened his attack.

laugh!

There was a slight sound, so slight that no one else heard it except Zhuang Yu and Harden.

"I encountered it." Zhuang Yu said secretly in his heart.

"Not good." Harden's face changed. He had already increased his shooting speed, but was still blocked.

Even though it was just a little bit, it was enough to disrupt the flight trajectory of the ball.

Sure enough, there was a bang and the basketball hit the basket and bounced high. Jokic grabbed the rebound, turned his head and his eyes lit up.

In the previous game between the Nuggets and the Lakers, Jokic and Zhuang Yu both played extremely well, and both of them had a feeling of mutual appreciation in their hearts.

And now the two have become teammates.

The two players with extremely high basketball IQ and comprehensive skills seem to be in sync with each other.

When Jokic grabbed the rebound, he saw that Zhuang Yu had already made a quick run, so he immediately threw the ball directly to the front court.

The pass was very skillful. The basketball crossed most of the court but landed just in time, about one meter in front of Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu only needed to reach out to grab the ball. He didn't even need to slow down. He took two steps forward and jumped up directly.

"Oh..."

The fans widened their eyes and some opened their mouths in surprise.

Zhuang Yu seemed to take off into the air, holding the basketball in his right hand, his body gliding in the air, and flew towards the basket.

"Bang!"

With a bang, Zhuang Yu dunked the ball into the basket.

This was an extremely explosive gliding slam dunk that excited all the fans in the audience. They were screaming, roaring, shouting, jumping and shouting with excitement.

"That's a great dunk, so beautiful."

"I didn't see when Zhuang Yu was about to get off. It was too fast."

"Haha, it's not just you who didn't see it. I guess even the on-site director's camera didn't have time to capture it. I still saw Jokic throw the ball to the front court, and then I saw Zhuang Yu was already in the front court when I followed the trajectory of the ball."

"I have to say, Jokic's pass was beautiful, just the right amount..."

Although there had been several dunks before, they were obviously not on the same level as Zhuang Yu's dunk.

After all, Zhuang Yu had defeated Lavine and Gordon in the dunk contest, and was considered the most valuable dunk champion in the dunk contest, so his strength was self-evident. Not only did he fly far, but he also flew high, and the whole movement was very stretched and full of power.

Amid the screams and cheers, Harden's face became increasingly uglier.

He had actually started chasing immediately, but his speed was much slower than Zhuang Yu's. He was left behind after a few steps and could only watch Zhuang Yu perform a dunk.

He wanted to fight back with a one-on-one attack, but not only did he fail, he also let Zhuang Yu make a fast break slam dunk.

So shameful.
