Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Boston.

In a hotel, Cavaliers players gathered together and talked about the Western Conference Finals.

"Wow, 53 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, that's crazy."

"Yeah, this is the Western Conference Finals, and Zhuang scored 53 points and won the game. He is really amazing."

"I'm not surprised at all that Zhuang scored so many points. After all, he is the scoring leader this season, averaging 31.7 points per game in the regular season. His scoring ability is unquestionable. What surprised me was that they actually beat the Warriors, even without Lopez."

"Haha, if Zhuang hadn't scored 53 points, the Lakers would definitely lose. Even if he scored 40+, it wouldn't be enough. No, just scoring isn't enough, he also had 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Any less points, rebounds or assists won't do."

A group of Cavaliers players were talking about the game and Zhuang Yu, and they couldn't help but sigh in admiration, saying that Zhuang Yu really played so well and amazingly in this game.

This game perfectly demonstrated the strength of the scoring champion.

It may even affect the selection of the regular season MVP. Although it is the "Regular Season MVP", the main focus is on the regular season, but the results have not been announced yet.

At this time, Shumpert suddenly asked: "Do you think the Lakers have a chance to win, I mean win this series?"

A group of Cavaliers players immediately laughed.

Win this series?

What a joke, don't think that the Lakers can really compete with the Warriors if they win a game. It's just one game, it doesn't mean anything.

A group of Cavaliers players were shaking their heads, expressing their pessimism about the Lakers.

This game was only because Zhuang Yu's performance was too dazzling, but it is obvious that he can't play such data in every game. In the absence of Lopez, the Lakers actually no longer have the strength to compete with the Warriors.

"It seems like you guys don't think highly of the Lakers." Shumpert shook his head and looked at Love. "What about you?"

Love replied: "I hope the Lakers can beat the Warriors and win the Western Conference championship."

Shumpert smiled and said, "Kevin, you said that because you have a good relationship with Zhuang Yu."

Love shook his head: "No, I think in the finals, we will have an easier time playing against the Lakers than against the Warriors."

Uh......

Shumpert was speechless and looked at Love with strange eyes.

Love just shrugged his shoulders and didn't care. He and Zhuang Yu did have a very good relationship, but now the two sides were in different camps. He was a player of the Cavaliers, so naturally he had to put the team first - and think about it from another perspective, if the Lakers could really win the Western Conference championship, even if they lost to the Cavaliers in the finals, it wouldn't be a big loss, right?

......

China.

Tang Wan was browsing the forum.

Today's forum is particularly lively. Some netizens who have not appeared for a long time have come out and are all discussing today's game and Zhuang Yu's performance.

"That's awesome, that's awesome."

"It's amazing. 53 points! This is the Western Conference Finals. I just checked. This is the highest score in a single game in the history of the Western Conference Finals. The last player to score 50 points in the Western Conference Finals was Dirk Nowitzki. In the 2005-06 Western Conference Finals, in a game between the Mavericks and the Suns, Nowitzki scored 50 points and 12 rebounds, leading the team to a 117-101 victory over the Suns at home, helping the Mavericks to lead the series 3-2. Today, Zhuang Yu not only set a new record for his own single-game scoring in the playoffs, but also set a new record for individual scoring in a single game in the Western Conference Finals in NBA history."

"The score is now 1:2. The Lakers still have a chance. The next game will still be at the Lakers' home court. As long as they win Game 4, then..."

The fans were discussing excitedly.

Unlike the players of the Cavaliers, many fans in the forum have regained confidence in the Lakers at this time. Although Lopez is missing, the Lakers still have Zhuang Yu.

While browsing the posts sent by netizens, Tang Wan was also replying. She was in a good mood because the Lakers won the game and her brother scored 53 points.

She even wanted to fly to the United States to cheer for Zhuang Yu.

It’s a pity that I can’t go.

It’s not that she doesn’t have money, she is a wealthy woman now, but Jiang Qin won’t allow her. If she dares to go there secretly by herself, she will probably have her legs broken when she comes back.

Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Yao Ming also watched the game, and his wife Ye Li beside him exclaimed: "Zhuang Yu is really amazing."

Then, she turned around and asked Yao Ming: "Now the score is 1:2, do you think the Lakers have a chance to turn the tables and win this series?"

Yao Ming did not answer but asked: "What do you think?"

Ye Li stopped talking immediately.

She is also a basketball player. Although there are differences between women's basketball and men's basketball, her basketball knowledge and vision are definitely much higher than those of ordinary fans.

Although the Lakers won the game, the impact of Lopez's injury did not disappear, but was overshadowed by Zhuang Yu's amazing performance.

This is a best-of-seven series, and there are still several games to go.

Seeing his wife not speaking, Yao Ming took a deep breath and said, "I hope the Lakers can make a comeback. Let's go to the United States."

Ye Li nodded: "Okay."

She knew that her husband wanted to cheer for Zhuang Yu because the next game was the crucial one.

If the Lakers can win Game 4, they still have a chance to beat the Warriors and win the series, but if they lose Game 4, there is basically no hope.

......

One day later, the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals began.

The two sides had played two games before, with the Cavaliers leading 2:0. Many people thought that the Cavaliers would win the decisive battle, but they obviously underestimated the Celtics.

经过48分钟的厮杀之后，凯尔特人队以111:108击败骑士队，将系列赛大比分改写成1:2。

And then, the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals began.

The game was still held at the Staples Center, and many big-name stars appeared on the sidelines, including Kobe and Yao Ming.

However, the Lakers were at a disadvantage from the beginning of the game. The Warriors were not only sharp in offense, but also fierce in defense, especially in defense against Zhuang Yu. They would rather foul than let Zhuang Yu score easily. Whenever Zhuang Yu was about to get into attacking form, the Warriors would interrupt him with fierce fouls.

Of course, Zhuang Yu is still very good and he can still score points, but compared with the previous game, both the score and offensive efficiency have dropped a lot.

However, other players on the Lakers performed well.

This is because the Warriors put a lot of their defensive energy on Zhuang Yu, but even if other Lakers players could score some points, they could not change the overall situation.

When the half ended, the Warriors led by 9 points.

Entering the third quarter, the Warriors started raining three-pointers. They launched a wave of attacks and widened the score difference to more than ten points.

In the fourth quarter, Zhuang Yu tried to lead the team to counterattack, but failed. Although he scored 33 points, plus 8 rebounds and 7 assists, the Lakers still lost the game.

The Warriors won the decisive game and the series score became 3:1.

"Oh, I still lost." Yao Ming sighed.

Although I was mentally prepared, I still felt depressed for the Lakers.

Zhuang Yu also played very well in this game. Facing the Warriors' tight defense, he still scored 33+8+7. It's a pity that the opponent was too strong.

For the Warriors, Curry scored 30 points, Durant scored 27 points, and Thompson scored 20 points. The three of them scored a total of 77 points.

Zhuang Yu came to the sidelines and hugged Yao Ming, and Kobe one by one.

Yao Ming and Kobe also comforted Zhuang Yu. Although they didn't say it out loud, everyone knew that there was no hope in this series.

......

Two days later, Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals kicked off.

In this game, the Lakers led for three quarters, but still lost to the Warriors in the last quarter. Zhuang Yu scored 30+ again and got 31 points, but Clarkson only scored 12 points, Deron scored 9 points, Gerald Green scored 8 points, Anderson scored 11 points... Compared with the Warriors, they were much inferior.

When the game ended, Oracle Arena was filled with jubilation.

This is the Warriors' home court, and most of the people there are Warriors fans. They are dancing, laughing, cheering and celebrating.

The team finally avenged its loss to the Lakers in last season's Western Conference Finals.

"Let's go." Zhuang Yu called his teammates and walked into the player tunnel first. "If we lose, we lose. Let's try again next season."

"Ah."

Everyone responded and walked into the player tunnel.

The Lakers' playoffs are over.
