Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Haha, Zhuang Yu is still stronger."

"Zhuang Yu didn't score a single point in the previous eight minutes, but in less than a minute, Zhuang Yu has already scored 5 points. What is strength? This is called strength."

"Come on Harden..."

In the previous 8 minutes, Zhuang Yu did not take a single shot and did not score any points, which disappointed the fans in the audience.

But it turns out that Zhuang Yu just didn't want to score, not that he couldn't score.

When he wanted to score, nothing could stop him. In less than a minute, he scored two goals and got 5 points.

In the duel between Zhuang Yu and Harden, it was obvious that Zhuang Yu had the upper hand.

But there are also many fans cheering for Harden.

Some of them are indeed Harden's die-hard fans. Although Harden failed to score the ball just now, no one saw that Zhuang Yu touched the basketball, and they just thought that Harden failed to score. Moreover, they have absolute confidence in Harden's scoring ability. So far, Harden is still the top scorer in the regular season.

He may not be able to defend Zhuang Yu, but in terms of offense, they believe that Harden will never lose to Zhuang Yu.

When the Eastern team attacked, the players came to the frontcourt and looked at Harden.

Originally, everyone just wanted to ask Harden whether he wanted to continue to play one-on-one against Zhuang Yu, but in Harden's view, their eyes were clearly teasing, and they were waiting to see his show.

Harden was a little annoyed, and he took a deep breath to calm himself down. He knew that he couldn't lose his composure, otherwise he would be at a disadvantage in the duel with Zhuang Yu.

The next moment, Harden still chose to play one-on-one against Zhuang Yu.

He was not well prepared for the last ball, but he won’t be that way this time.

"Come again?" Zhuang Yu's pupils shrank, he was really a little angry.

It's okay if it happens once or twice, but are you done yet?

This is not just a simple exchange of skills, but a personal grudge.

"If that's the case, then come on."

Zhuang Yu knew very well that in this situation, you don't need to try to reason with the other party, nor do you need to try to influence the other party. There is only one way to end this farce, and that is to defeat the other party, beat him into submission, and hurt him so that he will be obedient.

Originally, Zhuang Yu was very Buddhist today. He didn't plan to score any points. He just passed the ball on the court and threw two of them casually. Getting 10 points was enough.

The task he set for himself today was to get 10 points and 10 assists. The statistics were not too impressive, but it was a double-double after all, so he would not lose face.

Who would have thought that Harden would suddenly appear and target him endlessly.

It seems that it is no longer possible to keep a low profile.

Since I can't be low-key, then I won't be low-key.

Zhuang Yu walked forward, opened his arms, and stared at Harden. His sharp gaze made Harden's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but look away.

"Tsk..." Zhuang Yu curled his lips, suddenly rushed out, and reached out to grab the ball.

Harden was startled and quickly moved sideways to separate Zhuang Yu with his body, while lowering the height of his dribble to carefully protect the basketball.

Then he wanted to use Zhuang Yu's steal to speed up and get rid of him, but after Zhuang Yu failed to steal the ball, he quickly took a step back and stood in front of Harden again, keeping a certain distance from Harden so as not to be overtaken by Harden's acceleration.

This defense...

Harden couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Zhuang Yu's defense was really good.

Every move is at the right point.

If it was someone else, he would have been passed by him by now, but now the person standing in front of him was Zhuang Yu, and he had a headache and didn't know how to play the ball.

After hesitating for a moment, Harden still chose to break through.

In such a game, neither side has help defense or pick-and-roll, which is basically a one-on-one duel. So when fake moves cannot fool Zhuang Yu, he can only choose to force a breakthrough, create physical confrontation, and get closer to the basket, so as to ensure a high enough hit rate.

Harden also has a high basketball IQ. He made a decision immediately, dribbling the ball between his legs continuously, and then suddenly accelerated to break through to the left. He took only one step forward and then changed direction again, but did not try to shake off Zhuang Yu directly. Instead, he paused slightly after changing direction, and while Zhuang Yu was adjusting his steps and had not yet stabilized, he launched a physical confrontation with Zhuang Yu.

At this time, Harden started again and finally succeeded in getting rid of Zhuang Yu.

"call......"

Harden was relieved, but he felt it was too difficult. In the past, he only needed to change direction to completely pass the defender.

But when facing Zhuang Yu, he had to use more skills and expend more effort to break free from Zhuang Yu's defense.

Immediately, Harden took a step forward, grabbed the basketball and rushed towards the basket, trying to score the ball with a low layup.

However, at this moment, a cry of surprise was heard.

Harden's heart skipped a beat, he had a bad feeling and quickly quickened his shooting speed.

Snapped!

Just as the basketball touched the backboard and bounced back, an arm suddenly reached out from behind Harden and slapped the basketball, blocking it directly.

Wow...

There was an uproar in the audience.

Harden couldn't help but widen his eyes, somewhat in disbelief. He knew clearly that he had completely shaken off Zhuang Yu, and it was impossible for him to block him.

Yes, there is absolutely no way he could block it.

But when he turned his head, he saw the handsome Chinese face - it was indeed Zhuang Yu who blocked the shot.

"This...how could..."

A series of question marks popped up in Harden's head, some of which he couldn't understand.

In fact, it is very simple. Zhuang Yu’s reaction is too fast, his prediction is too accurate, and his speed is too fast.

After the physical confrontation with Harden, Zhuang Yu's footsteps were indeed a little messy, but he reacted extremely quickly, adjusted his footsteps quickly, and accurately predicted that Harden would choose to finish with a low layup, and then caught up with Harden with his amazing speed.

It's a pity that although Zhuang Yu successfully pinned the basketball on the backboard, the timing of his block was still a little bit late.

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that it was a goal interference.

"What, isn't this funny?"

"This block was indeed beautiful, but it was indeed interference. The basketball first hit the backboard, and then Zhuang Yu pressed it on the backboard."

"Oh, what a pity."

The fans all felt it was a pity.

Such a wonderful block was actually called a goal interference.

On the court, Harden's face looked very ugly. Although the ball was called for interference, he still scored two points, but he was not happy at all in his heart, because he did not directly score the ball and it was not perfect.

What he wanted was not this kind of score, but an easy layup after passing Zhuang Yu, then turning around and giving Zhuang Yu a proud look, saying, "You can't defend me."

......

When it came to the offensive end, Zhuang Yu still waved his hand, signaling other teammates to move away so that he could play against Harden alone.

As the captain of the Western team, Zhuang Yu had a high status in the team, so naturally his teammates would not have any objections. Moreover, Zhuang Yu had been passing the ball to them in the previous 8 minutes and had not taken a single shot himself. What's wrong with taking a few more shots now?

If we really want to blame someone, we can only blame Harden. Why did he have to provoke Zhuang Yu?

Zhuang Yu lowered his center of gravity, first stepped out with his left foot, dribbled the ball between his legs, pretending to break through to the left, then dribbled the ball behind his back, switched the ball to his right hand, and accelerated instantly.

Harden quickly adjusted his steps and tried to get in position, but his speed was not as fast as Zhuang Yu's. In the end, he was still half a beat slower and was overtaken by Zhuang Yu by half a body length.

At this time, Harden could only lean sideways against Zhuang Yu.

Fortunately, he was confident in his ability to fight, and even if he was sideways, he could still create enough defensive pressure on Zhuang Yu.

However, at this moment, Zhuang Yu took the initiative to lean towards Harden, looking for a physical confrontation, then hooked the basketball with his right hand and made a turnaround jump shot.

This physical confrontation made Harden pause, but he reacted quickly and rushed forward with all his strength, trying to block Zhuang Yu's shot.

At this moment, Harden's reaction was amazingly fast and his jumping was also very good.

The fans in the audience were a little surprised because they had never seen Harden jump so high before.

Did I underestimate his defense before?

Players like Harden and Westbrook have unquestionable scoring abilities, but their defense is always criticized.

In fact, it is not that they cannot defend, but they choose to focus more on offense and are not so willing to defend. But if they really defend seriously, after all, their physical fitness and athletic ability are there, so they will not be bad.

At this moment, Harden exploded with his potential. He dived extremely fast and jumped unprecedentedly high, causing the fans in the audience to exclaim in surprise.

However, when he jumped into the air, Harden was depressed to find that Zhuang Yu's shot was not only a turnaround jump shot, but also a fade away.

He was about to touch the basketball, but the next moment the basketball was gradually moving away from him, getting farther and farther away from him...

The next moment, Zhuang Yu shook his wrist and threw the ball out. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and finally went through the net with a swish.

"Oh..."

The audience was boiling, and the fans stood up and burst into warm cheers.

This was a beautiful turnaround fadeaway jump shot. Harden had defended to the extreme, but in front of such a shot, everything seemed so pale.

"It's really backwards, I knew it."

"Hahaha, Zhuang Yu's fade away is so amazing. Among all the active players in the league, Zhuang Yu is the only one who can practice this move to such a level."

"It's really beautiful, as beautiful as Kobe."

"It's a pity that Harden has already defended this ball to the extreme. I have never seen him dive so fast and jump so high. However, Zhuang Yu not only turned around and jumped but also faded away. This is too despairing."

"Harden's height is still a little short, if he could be two meters tall..."

Some people were cheering, some were applauding, and some were silently sympathizing with Harden. Facing Zhuang Yu's defense, Harden was stumbling on the offensive end. However, facing Harden's defense, Zhuang Yu was calm and at ease on the offensive end.
