Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

The Warriors made a three-pointer at the beginning, which made the home fans frown. This is not a good sign.

But the Lakers soon responded.

Zhuang Yu ran back to get the ball, glanced at Klay who was coming up, took a step forward with his right foot, and suddenly accelerated. Klay subconsciously retreated and slightly turned sideways, but Zhuang Yu suddenly stopped, raised his center of gravity, stretched out his left hand towards the basketball, and pretended to pull up for the ball.

"not good."

Clay's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously stood on tiptoe.

However, Zhuang Yu did not close the ball.

This was just a fake move, and then he lowered his center of gravity again and accelerated, rushing past Clay. Wiseman hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Zhuang Yu to provide defense.

However, as a rookie, his experience and defensive awareness are clearly not enough.

When Wiseman rushed over, he still hesitated for a moment, he was worried that if he rushed too far, he might be passed by Zhuang Yu, allowing Zhuang Yu to score a layup. However, it was this hesitation that allowed Zhuang Yu to seize the opportunity, and then he made a one-handed lob shot.

Wiseman jumped up subconsciously, but he was not close enough to the defense, and even with the advantage of height and wingspan, it was difficult for him to touch the basketball.

What's more, this is a lob.

Swish!

A slight sound came from behind, and Wiseman knew that the ball must have gone in.

The score became 2:3.

"nice shot."

“This is a beautiful ball.”

In the audience stands, the home fans cheered loudly.

After being suspended for two games, Zhuang Yu finally returned to the game, and at the beginning he made a layup against Wiseman's defense, which excited the fans.

In the following minutes, although the Lakers strengthened their perimeter defense, the Warriors still used their excellent tactical coordination and accurate shooting ability to play a good offensive performance.

Fortunately, the Lakers' offense is equally sharp.

Especially Zhuang Yu. After resting for two games, his body recovered to a good condition, so he started scoring mode at the beginning of the game and scored points one after another.

Under the leadership of Zhuang Yu, the Lakers and the Warriors were evenly matched.

After a few minutes, the score between the two sides remained tense.

It was not until halfway through the first quarter that the situation on the field changed when both sides began to rotate personnel.

Coach Scott of the Lakers kept Lopez on the court and let him play with Clarkson, Nance Jr., Bembry and others.

But the effect is not good.

Without Rose, Zhuang Yu and Holiday were also not on the court.

The Lakers have no offensive organizers, and can only rely on Lopez and Clarkson's individual singles to solve the problem. Although both of them have strong personal abilities, this style of play is too simple and crude, and it is easy to be targeted by the Warriors, resulting in insufficient offensive efficiency.

After a while, the Warriors gained the upper hand and gradually widened the score to 7 points.

Seeing that something was not right, Coach Scott called a timeout to make a personnel rotation.

Instead of replacing Holiday or Zhuang Yu, Anderson was sent up to solve the problem of organizing the offense.

After Anderson returned to the court, the Lakers' offense improved a little, but they were still at a disadvantage.

When the first quarter ended, the Lakers were trailing by 1 points.

"Sure enough, without Rose, the team's bench depth is further weakened, and it is difficult to ensure sufficient competitiveness when it comes to rotation time."

"In fact, during the first substitution, Coach Scott should have sent Anderson up to organize the offense. This way, we might have been able to have a good fight with the Warriors."

"It's not all the Lakers' fault. The Warriors played really well today..."

In the auditorium, fans were discussing.

Many people were not surprised that the Lakers fell behind in this quarter. After all, the Lakers were at a disadvantage in terms of lineup.

Especially the bench lineup.

And the Warriors played very well on offense today, whether it was Curry, Klay, Green, or Oubre and Wiseman, they all performed very well.

Especially Oubre, he hit two three-pointers in the first quarter and became a surprise weapon.

Here, Coach Scott was frowning as he wrote and drew on the tactical board.

When the second quarter started, Coach Scott sent Zhuang Yu and Cunningham up, along with Clarkson, Nance Jr., and Howard.

After Rose was injured, the Lakers had to make adjustments. In order to make up for the lack of combat effectiveness of the rotation lineup, they had to let the main players play longer.

In the past, at such times, Coach Scott would only send out one of Zhuang Yu, Holiday, and Lopez to lead a few substitute players.

But now we have to have two starters.

"Hey, they actually sent both Zhuang Yu and Cunningham up here."

"It was predictable that Coach Scott would send Zhuang Yu, but I didn't expect him to send Cunningham as well..."

"Look at the score. The Lakers are now trailing by 8 points. If only Zhuang Yu played with a few substitutes, they might not be at a disadvantage. But the problem now is that the Lakers are trailing. They don't want to fight to a draw, but to gain the upper hand and catch up with the score."

"Oh......"

Some fans have already seen it.

The Lakers obviously wanted to gain the upper hand in the rotation time and catch up with the score, so they sent both Zhuang Yu and Cunningham to the court.

The Warriors also sent out Curry, and let Curry play with several substitute players. Apart from Curry, no one could compete with Zhuang Yu.

.....

on the field.

Lakers offense.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu called for a pick-and-roll, and when Howard came up for the screen-and-roll, he took the opportunity to get rid of it, but he was not in a hurry to attack the basket. Instead, he mobilized the defense, attracted the Warriors players to come up, and then made a ground pass, accurately penetrating the gaps between the defenders and giving it to Howard under the basket.

“It’s really comfortable.”

Howard sighed in his heart, grabbed the basketball and slammed it with both hands.

This is the most enjoyable way to eat cake.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the Warriors launched an attack, and when Curry reached the frontcourt, he found that the person defending him had become Zhuang Yu.

But he was not surprised. Without Klay on the court at this time, he was the only core, and Zhuang Yu naturally had to defend him.

"Pick and roll."

Curry called a pick-and-roll and tried to get rid of it, but failed. He squinted his eyes, passed the ball, and started running.

Continuous movement, breaking away from the screen, and catching the ball again.

At this time, without waiting for Zhuang Yu to catch up, Curry dribbled the ball between his legs and lowered his left shoulder. It seemed that he was going to break through, but it was actually a fake move.

The next moment, Curry stepped back, tapped his toes, and quickly retreated to the three-point line. His heels did not touch the ground and he shot immediately.

Swish!

There was a soft sound and the ball was scored.

This three-pointer was shot decisively and very Curry-like.

This is how he scores, a typical Curry-style three-pointer, incredibly fast, making it difficult for defensive players to react, but also terrifyingly accurate.

"coming."

"It's okay. Zhuang Yu will fight back."

"One more, one more..."

The home fans cheered loudly.

When Zhuang Yu came to the frontcourt, Warriors' backup guard Damian Lee immediately rushed over. The Warriors did not use Curry to match up with Zhuang Yu because defense is not Curry's strong point, let alone facing a super scorer like Zhuang Yu.

Damian Lee's defense is not strong, but at least he is 196cm tall, and although his defense is not top-notch, he has no obvious shortcomings.

Coach Kerr did not expect Damian Lee to defend Zhuang Yu. As Damian Lee moved forward, forward Eric Pascal also moved over here to help Damian Lee defend.

After taking a quick look at the situation on the field, Zhuang Yu made a gesture.

Howard came up for a screen and Zhuang Yu took the opportunity to get rid of him. He still attracted the defense and looked inside, but this time he did not pass the ball to Howard. Instead, he swung the ball with one hand, and the basketball drew a fast and sharp arc and flew towards Clarkson.

"not good."

"Hurry up and jump on it."

someone shouted.

The Warriors players reacted. Curry, who was just looking at Zhuang Yu, reacted at this moment and rushed towards Clarkson immediately.

However, Clarkson did not choose to shoot, but just made a fake shot, then broke through, went into the inside and passed the ball to the outside.

Several Warriors players looked in the direction the basketball was flying, only to discover that Zhuang Yu had somehow reached the right corner three-point line.

"Oops."

Several people's faces changed drastically. Damian Lee was blocked by someone. Pascal rushed over, but it was too late.

Swish!

With a slight sound, Zhuang Yu's three-point shot hit the target.

Suddenly, there was warm cheering from the audience.

This is the peak showdown they want to see.

And Zhuang Yu and Curry did not disappoint them. In the next few minutes, the two of them continued to compete with each other. Curry's three-pointers were crazy and completely unreasonable. Many times there was no chance at all, but he still chose to shoot.

Compared to Curry's crazy three-pointers, Zhuang Yu's playing style is much more rational. He uses all kinds of weapons at his disposal, including three-pointers from the outside, fadeaway jump shots, breakthrough layups...

Moreover, unlike Curry, Zhuang Yu did not hold the ball for a long time.

In one attack, Zhuang Yu will not dribble more than three times. Almost every attack is completed within three dribbles because this can avoid being double-teamed by the opponent.

Another point is that this can be more efficient.

At the beginning of this quarter, Curry and Zhuang Yu each hit a three-pointer, making many fans think that the two were going to stage a "three-point showdown."

But Zhuang Yu did not intend to do so. He did not compete with Curry in three-pointers. Instead, he used various scoring methods and his finishing efficiency was extremely high.

So even though Zhuang Yu doesn't shoot as many three-pointers as Curry, and doesn't make as many three-pointers as Curry, his scoring efficiency is higher than Curry.

In just a few minutes, Curry's three-pointers made fans exclaim again and again.

Looking at Zhuang Yu again, he didn't seem that amazing.

But when the fans looked at the score again, they found that the Lakers had narrowed the gap to only 2 points.

"Requesting a timeout."

The Warriors called a timeout.

Only then did the fans realize that there was only a two-point difference.

"What's going on? Curry made three three-pointers, so how come the score difference narrowed?"

"Then take a look at how many points Zhuang Yu got?"

"How many?"

"We have 23 points now, 15 of which were scored in this quarter alone. So far, our shooting percentage is still over percent."

"hiss......"

People couldn't help but be amazed.

Zhuang Yu's goal was not as difficult as Curry's and did not look as amazing, but his hit rate was really high.

This is also the reason why Coach Kerr called a timeout.
