Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Chapter 1703 Zhuang Yu, you have to take action!

In fact, Zhuang Yu underestimated his own strength, influence, and status in the current alliance.

It's not just Westbrook, George, and Jokic who support him, the vast majority of people on the Western team support him.

One reason is that Zhuang Yu is the captain of the Western Conference, the top vote-getter in this All-Star Game, and has won two consecutive championships. His historical status is there, and there are few active players who can compare with him. Moreover, Zhuang Yu is still at his peak.

Second, Zhuang Yu’s strength is there. He is the best player in the league for no reason. He was extremely efficient today. Didn’t you see that Harden was completely defeated?

The third is that Zhuang Yu did not take a single shot in the 1 minutes of the first quarter. Everyone knows that he is not actually interested in the MVP. He did not score so many points because he wanted to win the MVP. It was purely because of Harden's provocation and the desire to help the Western team win the game.

Therefore, most people supported Zhuang Yu, and no one had any objection even if he took more shots in the fourth quarter.

......

Soon, the first section ended.

At this time, the Eastern team had already overtaken the score and was leading the Western team by 4 points.

The difference is not that big.

So in the fourth quarter, Coach Scott was not in a hurry to send out the main players, and still used the substitute lineup.

The Eastern team also had a substitute lineup. Both sides knew that it would be difficult to determine the winner at this point in the game, and both wanted to save their strength for the last few minutes to decide the winner.

In the next few minutes, just as the head coaches of both teams expected, the two sides exchanged blows, but neither side gained much advantage, after all, they were all All-Star level players.

After a few rounds, the Eastern team is still in the lead.

They widened the gap a little bit, and it has now reached 7 points.

At this time, Coach Scott called a timeout.

When several players came off the court, Coach Scott began to make substitutions, replacing Zhuang Yu, Westbrook and Davis.

At the same time, the Eastern team also made substitutions, with Antetokounmpo, Middleton, and Harden all coming on.

After returning to the court, Zhuang Yu communicated with his teammates and took the initiative to run back to ask for the ball when he reached the frontcourt. Davis came up to screen for Zhuang Yu, then turned and cut into the inside. Zhuang Yu used the screen to move to the side, pretending to shoot a three-pointer, attracting the defense and then passing the ball to Davis.

"Snapped!"

"beep!"

Thug, whistle blows.

The referee called a defensive foul and signaled Davis to stand at the free throw line for two free throws.

Everyone could feel that at this point, the defensive intensity of both sides had clearly increased to a higher level than in the third quarter. If it was before, they might have gone up to defend the ball, but if they could defend it, they would defend it, and if they couldn't, that was fine.

But now he would rather commit a foul than let Davis score easily.

Davis stood at the free throw line and made only one of two free throws, and the Western team was still behind by 6 points.

The Eastern Force Attacks...

......

In a blink of an eye, more than two minutes passed.

During these two minutes, Zhuang Yu did not fire at full speed. He was still trying to create opportunities for his teammates to score.

If he doesn't need to turn on the scoring mode and focus on scoring, his teammates will be able to catch up and overtake the score, then he will be happy and relaxed.

However, after more than two minutes, the teammates' performance was not as good as expected.

They are all All-Star level players, and their scoring ability is needless to say, but don’t forget that they are facing All-Star level players as well.

At this point in the game, both sides were serious and the defensive intensity increased a lot.

At this time, the Eastern team fielded Harden, Lillard, Middleton, Antetokounmpo, and Gobert.

With Antetokounmpo and Gobert standing in the interior, it is not so easy for Davis to play one-on-one in the low post, and it is not so easy for Westbrook to break into the interior and score.

In addition to these two points, the other two players on the Western team were George and Trae Young. They each tried a three-pointer from outside the three-point line, but neither of them hit it.

After more than two minutes, the Western team only got 3 points.

And all of these three-pointers came from Davis, and all of them were scored from the free throw line.

On the other hand, on the Eastern team side, Harden hit a three-pointer, and Antetokounmpo made a three-pointer in the paint. Although the others did not score, the difference between the two sides was still widened to 10 points.

"Zhuang Yu, you have to take action now."

Westbrook said to Zhuang Yu with a serious expression that he understood Zhuang Yu's thoughts, but he had to take action in the current situation.

Zhuang Yu nodded and made an OK gesture to him.

......

When he came to the frontcourt, Westbrook immediately passed the ball to Zhuang Yu and gestured to Davis, indicating that Davis should go up and help Zhuang Yu with the screen.

With the help of this pick-and-roll, Zhuang Yu got rid of Harden's defense and came to the top of the arc. Gobert quickly came up to delay him, while Zhuang Yu lowered his center of gravity and changed direction, pretending to break through. Gobert subconsciously took a step back, but saw Zhuang Yu step back to the three-point line and immediately jumped up.

Gobert also rushed forward and stretched out his arms to block the shot, but Zhuang Yu not only stepped back but also leaned back.

I saw him lean back and shake his wrist.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc and finally hit the target with a swish.

It was a beautiful three-pointer, narrowing the gap to 7 points.

The Eastern team attacked, and Harden dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and called for a pick-and-roll. With the help of this pick-and-roll, he got rid of Zhuang Yu's defense and switched defense, so he faced Davis.

Harden decisively played one-on-one, changed directions continuously, then accelerated to pass Davis. Just as he was about to make a layup, a figure suddenly flashed and blocked in front of him.

It’s Zhuang Yu!

"Humph."

Harden snorted coldly and did not pass the ball. Instead, he rushed towards Zhuang Yu, hugged the ball and tried to confront him, pushing Zhuang Yu back a step, and then he lifted the ball.

This time, Harden took advantage of the impact of acceleration and gained the upper hand in the confrontation. He was sure that Zhuang Yu would not be able to jump up and block him again.

Yes, this time Zhuang Yu really couldn't jump up and block Harden. Even though he was taller than Harden, there were other people besides him.

When Harden raised the ball to prepare for a layup, a hand suddenly appeared from behind him and slapped the ball away.

"what?"

Harden was shocked and a little stunned, not understanding what went wrong.

He quickly turned his head and saw Westbrook's face.

"Damn it."

After seeing that it was Westbrook, Harden was not surprised, he knew that Westbrook could often perform such blocks.

But this time, I was the unlucky person.

In fact, Harden was a little too persistent. He could have passed the ball to Middleton on the outside, or to Antetokounmpo.

However, at this point, with the game in the final few minutes, the two sides were about to decide the winner, and it was the final moment of the competition for MVP.

Harden doesn't want to lose the MVP, he still wants to try harder, so he needs to score more points and be better than Antetokounmpo in terms of statistics.

However, the final result was that he was blocked by Westbrook, and the basketball flew directly into Zhuang Yu's arms. Zhuang Yu grabbed the basketball and immediately launched a counterattack.

"Hurry up..."

Several Bucks players hurried to catch up, but Zhuang Yu was too fast.

Zhuang Yu rushed to the front court and took a step forward to prepare for a layup.

Just at this moment, a scream was heard.

Zhuang Yu had an idea and did not choose to make a layup directly. Instead, he paused in the air, bent his knees, tightened his abdomen, and made a layup with his left hand.

This time he just avoided Antetokounmpo's block.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

Zhuang Yu turned his head and saw Antetokounmpo's fierce look. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect this guy to be so fast.

Fortunately, my reaction was quick enough. If I had gone for the layup, Antetokounmpo might have blocked it.

This goal made the score difference 5 points.

Coach Budenholzer frowned, signaled to the players on the court to strengthen their defense, and looked at the bench, hesitating whether to send James up.

In just a short period of time, Zhuang Yu scored two goals and got 5 points, which made several Eastern team players on the field a little annoyed. They really needed to strengthen their defense.

Especially the defense against Zhuang Yu.

In the next round, when Harden came to the frontcourt, he saw Antetokounmpo reaching out to him for the ball. Harden hesitated for a moment, but still passed the ball.

The block just now forced him to stop temporarily.

Antetokounmpo got the ball and pretended to shoot, then he broke through and headed straight for the basket. Davis bent over and jumped up, and the two collided in the air. Davis failed to block the ball, but Antetokounmpo's layup also failed to score, and the basketball bounced out of the basket.

But then a figure rushed into the inside and snatched the basketball.

It turned out to be Middleton.

This was somewhat unexpected. By the time people reacted, Middleton had already grabbed the rebound and took two steps to the left corner three-point line, but he did not choose to shoot himself. Instead, he stretched out his hand and pressed down, indicating not to rush, and then passed the ball to Antetokounmpo again.

It has to be said that in order for Antetokounmpo to win the MVP, Middleton, his teammate, was quite considerate.

He didn't take many shots today, and almost all the ball was given to Antetokounmpo.

Getting the ball again, Antetokounmpo did not choose to break through, because the Western team had already tightened their defense, so he chose to take a direct mid-range shot.

Swish!

The ball went in.

"Damn, this guy actually made the shot."

"luck......"

Some fans are complaining.

Shooting has never been Antetokounmpo's strong point, and it can even be said to be his weakness, but I didn't expect that this ball actually went in.

The score difference became 7 points again.

......

"Pass the ball to me later." Zhuang Yu said to Westbrook.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu ran without the ball, using his speed and the cover of his teammates to get rid of the defense and return to the three-point line. Westbrook immediately passed the ball to him.

Zhuang Yu catches the ball...

“Don’t even think about shooting the three-pointer.”

A figure flew over and stretched out his arms to block Zhuang Yu. It was Antetokounmpo.

However, he did not expect that Zhuang Yu did not jump, but just made a fake shot. When he rushed in front of him, Zhuang Yu jumped up and raised the ball at the same time.
