Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Durant can't defend this."

"It's troublesome."

"Is there any way? Should we double-team him?"

"Double-team? Isn't that a bet that Curry and Klay can't make the shot? But if they make two or three three-pointers, then the game is over, right?"

"That's true, but are we just going to watch Durant play one-on-one endlessly?"

"It all depends on whether the Lakers can fight back on offense..."

At this time, the home fans were already getting a little anxious.

Some fans stared at Zhuang Yu, wanting to see if he could fight back.

Coming to the frontcourt, Holiday passed the ball to Zhuang Yu. At this time, the Warriors did not double-team him, but chose to assist in defense.

The Lakers did not double-team Durant or provide help defense because they were afraid of Curry and Klay. Although the Warriors were also afraid of Holiday and Lopez, they obviously did not place the two on the same level as Curry and Klay, so they just did not double-team Zhuang Yu, but still provided help defense.

Zhuang Yu glanced at the defensive situation and saw that the opponent did not seem to take Holiday and Lopez seriously. He gestured to Lopez, then suddenly changed direction and accelerated. The Warriors quickly assisted in defense, but Zhuang Yu immediately jumped and jumped between the two defenders, and he was already within the three-second zone.

Standing under the basket at this time was Draymond Green. Before he had time to think about it, he saw Zhuang Yu holding the basketball with one hand and raising it as if he was going to shoot. He subconsciously jumped up and raised his right hand high, trying his best to block the shot.

However, this is not a throw.

The basketball drew a high arc, but it did not fly towards the basket, but flew to the side of the basket. Lopez had already received Zhuang Yu's signal.

At this time, he jumped up, grabbed the basketball in the air and made an alley-oop slam dunk.

"nice shot."

"This is a really beautiful shot. Zhuang Yu attracted the attention of three defensive players by himself, and Lopez was completely left open."

"Haha, I thought he was dribbling."

In the audience stands, the home fans cheered excitedly.

Coach Kerr frowned slightly. He did underestimate the role of Lopez and Holiday. But it was just a two-point shot, which was acceptable.

But in the next few rounds, Zhuang Yu passed the ball to Lopez and Holiday in succession, assisting them in scoring, which made Coach Kerr a little depressed.

This is different from what Coach Kerr expected.

His previous expectation was that the Lakers would definitely rely on Zhuang Yu in the last few minutes, while he would rely on Durant. The Lakers would definitely not dare to double-team Durant, while he could assist in defending Zhuang Yu, and with Durant's unstoppable one-on-one ability, he would definitely have the upper hand.

But who would have thought that Zhuang Yu did not play one-on-one like Durant. Instead, he took advantage of the Warriors' help defense to attract and contain the defensive players, and used his excellent passing ability to create opportunities for Lopez and Holiday.

Moreover, Lopez and Holiday also seized the opportunity and successfully scored the ball, offsetting the damage caused by Durant.

It was actually Lopez and Holiday who confronted Durant, not Zhuang Yu.

This is not what Coach Kerr wants to see.

Although Durant's performance remained stable and he still slightly suppressed the opponent, he always felt uneasy and unhappy because things did not develop as he expected.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Kerr called a timeout.

After the players came down, he said, "You don't need to help defend Zhuang Yu anymore. Just defend him alone. Also, pay attention to defending Holiday and Lopez. Don't be too lax."

Several players responded.

......

Soon the players returned to the court with three minutes left and the Warriors leading by only two points.

Curry pushed the ball to the frontcourt and still gave the ball to Draymond Green, and then to Durant. However, it was not Durant who played one-on-one. Instead, he attracted the defense and then gave the ball to Curry, who made a three-pointer.

The last few minutes reminded Coach Kerr that he can’t play too easily.

Curry and Klay must also take the initiative to participate in the offense.

This three-pointer made the difference 5 points.

There were only more than two minutes left in the game. At the same time, the Warriors no longer assisted in defending Zhuang Yu, but instead strengthened the defense on Holiday and Lopez.

Seeing this situation, Zhuang Yu narrowed his eyes.

"ball."

Zhuang Yu stretched out his hand to ask for the ball, and this time he chose to play alone.

First he dribbled the ball between his legs, then suddenly changed direction, pretending to break through, but in fact it was a step back, and a double step back exactly the same as Harden's, with his feet continuously tapping on the floor, retreating to the three-point line, and immediately shooting.

boom!

Unfortunately, the ball didn't hit the target.

Coach Kerr on the sidelines couldn't help but laugh.

Turning around, the Warriors still gave the ball to Durant, who pretended to play one-on-one to attract defense, and then passed the ball to Curry, who also stepped back and jumped. When everyone thought he was going to shoot a three-pointer, he suddenly passed the ball and pushed it straight into the paint. Klay took the opportunity to cut into the paint, rushed into the paint, received Curry's pass, and made a layup.

After a while, the score difference has widened to 7 points.

Seeing that the game time was getting less and less, even Coach Scott began to get anxious. The current situation was very unfavorable for them.

He gestured towards the court, indicating that Zhuang Yu must attack resolutely. Now there is little time, the score difference is large, and the opponent has obviously strengthened the defense against Holiday and Lopez. It is no longer appropriate for Zhuang Yu to attract the defense himself and create opportunities for Lopez and Holiday.

At times like this, we can only rely on Zhuang Yu's personal abilities.

Zhuang Yu nodded, understanding what the coach meant. After coming to the frontcourt, he ran back to get the ball, and then decisively played one-on-one. The one defending Zhuang Yu was Klay.

Although there was no help defense, the Warriors' defense was still very targeted.

Klay jumped very far forward with one hand raised high to prevent Zhuang Yu from shooting directly. The score difference was 7 points, and it would not be easy to catch up as long as Zhuang Yu did not shoot the three-pointer.

After all, the Lakers couldn't defend Durant, and Durant was also scoring. Even if Zhuang Yu scored the ball, Durant could return it immediately, and the score difference would not narrow.

"You have to make a three-pointer."

Zhuang Yu thought to himself and frowned.

At this moment, Klay was right in front of him, with his hand almost reaching his face. It was too difficult to force a three-pointer in this situation.

After taking a deep breath, Zhuang Yu suddenly broke through and passed Klay. Klay quickly turned sideways, but Zhuang Yu immediately dribbled the ball behind his back, pulled the ball back, retreated to the three-point line, and then jumped up and shot a three-pointer.

But Clay reacted quickly and pounced very resolutely, he almost pounced on Zhuang Yu.

Of course he couldn't reach the basketball, but his hand had already covered Zhuang Yu's face, not only blocking his vision but even touching Zhuang Yu's face.

However, the referee did not blow the whistle.

boom!

The ball didn't go in either.

"Unfortunately, the ball didn't go in."

"Time is running out."

"Yeah, there's only a little over a minute left and the score difference is 7 points. The Lakers are in trouble."

The home fans were all worried.

Coach Kerr on the sidelines smiled. His judgment was correct. Zhuang Yu's scoring ability was indeed outstanding, but it was not unsolvable. Just like the ball just now, if it was Durant, Klay would not have interfered with him so much, and it might have gone in.

However, Zhuang Yu is only 198cm tall and could not ignore Klay's defensive interference, so he failed to make the three-pointer.

There was only a little over a minute left and the score difference was 7 points.

This game is secured!

However, the Warriors were unable to score the ball. Lopez grabbed the rebound and Coach Scott immediately called a timeout.

This was also their last pause.

Coach Scott did not call this timeout to make any adjustments or arrangements. After several players came off the court, he pulled Zhuang Yu and said, "It's okay. Don't worry about the previous two balls. Just shoot decisively."

Zhuang Yu nodded heavily, his eyes emitting a blazing light.

......

Back on the court, the Lakers attacked.

There was only 1 minute and 45 seconds left in the game. After Holiday pushed the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately passed it to Zhuang Yu. The others all moved away, and Zhuang Yu played against Klay.

At this time, the Warriors were still playing single defense, while Klay was playing close defense, sticking directly to Zhuang Yu and not giving Zhuang Yu any chance to pass the ball.

During the timeout just now, Coach Kerr instructed to let Zhuang Yu break through and it would be okay for him to get two points. With the current score difference, even if the Warriors don't score any more points, as long as the Lakers don't have three-pointers, the Warriors can still win the game by shortening the time.

Zhuang Yu also knew that he had to make a three-pointer at this time, as it was too late to catch up two points at a time.

After taking a look at the basket, Zhuang Yu became ruthless, lowered his center of gravity, and suddenly accelerated to the right. After taking a step forward, he did not continue to break through. Instead, he suddenly turned around with the ball, retreated instead of moving forward, turned outside the three-point line, stepped back outside the three-point line, and immediately jumped up.

The whole action was done in one go without any delay. Klay didn't even have time to pounce on it. However, for Zhuang Yu, such a shot was also very difficult because there was no time to adjust. It was almost a floating shot.

"Go."

Zhuang Yu muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the basket. With a flick of his right wrist, the basketball flew out from his fingertips, drawing an arc.

Swish!

Finally, the basketball went through the net.

The goal was scored!

"nice shot."

"It was such a beautiful goal, so timely."

"The difference is only 4 points, come on Lakers!"

The home fans jumped up excitedly and shouted towards the court, cheering for Zhuang Yu and rooting for the Lakers.

There is one minute and a half left, the score difference is 4 points, and there is still time to play.

This ball made Coach Kerr frown, and also made several Warriors players on the court feel a pang in their hearts. Their originally calm hearts began to become anxious again.

"You really can't underestimate this guy."

Curry thought to himself, he got the ball in the backcourt, made a gesture to his teammates after reaching the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Durant.

At this time, of course, let Durant play one-on-one.

Durant first lowered the ball, then suddenly accelerated to the left, then suddenly changed direction with a large amplitude, raised his center of gravity, and made a fake move of praying to Buddha. Anderson subconsciously stood on tiptoe and raised his hands, but he was fooled and was passed by Durant in one step.

Lopez quickly made up for the defense, and the other players on the Lakers immediately contracted their defense line and surrounded Durant.

This made Durant frown because there were too many people in the inside.

However, he did not pass the ball. Instead, he jumped towards the defense. In the air, he did not rush to shoot but paused for a moment, waiting for the defender's hand to fall before shooting.

Snapped!

beep!

Fighter, whistle!

The referee blew the whistle and gave Lopez a foul.

Fortunately, Durant did not score this ball, and the basketball bounced out of the basket, but Durant had to stand on the free throw line to take two free throws.

When Durant stood on the free throw line, all the fans in the audience stood up, yelling and booing at the court, interfering with Durant's free throws.

It’s a pity that Durant is too stable.

At this critical moment, he made both free throws, changing the score to 118:112. The Warriors led by 6 points with only 1 minute and 08 seconds left in the game.

"Damn, the score gap has widened again."

"There was only one minute left and the score difference was 6 points. It was really difficult to catch up."

"Yes, three-pointers are a must, but the Warriors will definitely focus on defending three-pointers..."

This situation is very unfavorable for the Lakers at this time, as time is too tight.
