Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Staples Center.

Today is the second game in the series between the Lakers and the Warriors. Although it is only the second game, it is considered by the outside world to be a crucial game.

Many people believe that if the Lakers lose this game and the series score becomes 0:2, they will have no hope in this series.

This is not groundless speculation.

The Warriors are strong enough. If the Lakers lose the first two games, the next two games at the Warriors' home court will definitely not be easier to play than these two games. As long as they lose a game at the Warriors' home court, it will basically be impossible for them to turn the tables.

So this game is very crucial.

In the locker room.

Coach Scott was also cheering up the players, shouting loudly: "Give me 120% of your strength and win this game. I will not accept failure. Tell me if you can do it?"

"can."

The players roared in unison.

Coach Scott was not satisfied and raised his voice again: "I can't hear you. Tell me loudly, can we win this damn game?"

A group of players' eyes were blazing, emitting a sharp light, and their voices became louder and louder: "Yes!"

Their voices even spread beyond the locker room and outside, and even the Warriors players could hear them.

A group of Warriors players laughed disdainfully and didn't take it seriously.

Only then did Coach Scott smile: "Okay, get ready to play."

......

Soon, players from both sides came out.

When the Lakers players came out, all the home fans in the audience stood up and began to shout in unison: "The Lakers must win, the Lakers must win!"

Amidst the huge shouts, Zhuang Yu and others walked out of the player tunnel one after another. They subconsciously looked towards the Warriors team, and their gazes collided in the air, with an invisible but extremely hot fighting spirit colliding.

Today's game is crucial and there are a lot of fans coming to the scene.

Of course, there are some Warriors fans too.

"No matter how loud you shout, it's no use. You're going to lose anyway."

"They don't think Zhuang Yu can still score 40+ points, do they? Impossible. He was lucky to get 43 points in the last game. The Warriors will definitely make targeted arrangements today. Just wait and see. It won't be that easy for him to score high again."

"Oh, who else does the Lakers have besides Zhuang Yu? Are they relying on Holiday and Lopez, or Korver?"

"Haha, he's a three-point shooter. Korver has even been to the All-Star Game. So the Lakers have a 'four-star lineup', right? It's a pity that he's already old."

"You calculated wrong. There is also a Deron. He is one of the 'five All-Stars'."

"Ha ha......"

A group of Warriors fans were talking to each other, their words full of contempt and ridicule.

The Warriors have a very strong star lineup, and many of them have made the All-Star team, including Curry, Durant, Klay, Draymond Green, and Iguodala and David West from the bench have also made the All-Star team.

If we ignore the time and only look at whether they have ever been in the All-Star team, the Warriors have 6 All-Star players.

The Lakers also have five players, including Zhuang Yu, Lopez, Holiday, Deron, and Korver.

However, the Warriors fans are not praising the Lakers when they say this, but are mocking them. Although Deron and Korver have been selected to the All-Star team, they are now at the end of their careers and obviously no longer have the strength to be All-Star players.

Strictly speaking, the Lakers have only three All-Star players, Zhuang Yu, Lopez, and Holiday, and in the eyes of many Warriors fans, Holiday was selected into the All-Star team this season not because of his strength, but just because of good luck.

The Warriors have four real All-Star players.

How can the Lakers compare with them?

Is it just because the home fans are so loud?

How funny!

......

The game is about to begin.

A group of Warriors players gathered around Coach Kerr, who said, "We have to do better today and win this game."

The words were simple and there wasn't much planning because they already knew the Lakers well after the previous game.

So they know exactly how to fight.

The key is to win this game. Coach Kerr does not want this series to drag on too long. Although they won the last game, it was a dangerous win. The Lakers gave him a sense of danger. If the series drags on too long, there may be variables.

Winning the second game and making the score 2:0 will also hit the morale of the Lakers, which is the best result.

......

Here, Coach Scott once again emphasized the importance of this game.

However, he didn't make too many arrangements because he had already made careful arrangements in the locker room before the game.

In fact, neither side made too many adjustments in this game, because the first game had proved that the strength gap between the two sides was not that big.

Otherwise, the score would not have remained deadlocked until the final overtime to decide the winner.

In this situation, who will win depends mainly on the performance of the players.

So Coach Scott didn't make many adjustments. Everyone played very well in the last game. Both the main lineup and the rotation lineup performed very well, and he was very satisfied.

"Alright." Coach Scott clapped his hands, "Go on the court."

"Yes." Zhuang Yu and others shouted in unison and walked onto the court.

......

The game officially started, and the starting lineups of both teams were the same as in the first game.

The Warriors still have Curry, Klay, Durant, Draymond Green, and Pachulia. The Lakers have Holiday, Zhuang Yu, Korver, Anderson, and Lopez.

First there was a jump ball, Lopez hit the ball to the backcourt, Holiday controlled the basketball and began to advance slowly. After reaching the frontcourt, he first glanced at the Warriors' defense and found that there was no change from the previous game.

Immediately, he made a gesture, signaling his teammates to come up and set a screen.

Lopez went for a pick-and-roll, while Holiday moved to the left and passed the ball to Anderson. Anderson also broke through and passed the ball to Zhuang Yu, who was standing outside the three-point line. Klay immediately rushed in front of Zhuang Yu without any hesitation, not caring that he would be passed by Zhuang Yu in one step.

In the last game, Zhuang Yu made a lot of three-pointers.

The last three three-pointers in the fourth quarter dragged the game into a draw, and he made two three-pointers in overtime, almost helping the Lakers to turn the game around.

Therefore, the Warriors were very afraid of Zhuang Yu's three-point shots.

However, Zhuang Yu did not shoot directly. He just made a fake shot, then broke through again and rushed to the basket. He took three slow steps, causing Pachulia to jump early, creating a time difference, and then threw the ball with one hand...
