Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk
Chapter 1293: 3-pointer at the buzzer
In a blink of an eye, the second quarter has come to an end.
At this time, the Lakers were already leading by 12 points thanks to Zhuang Yu's outstanding performance.
This is when the Warriors played very well. If the Warriors' offense was not so good, the score difference might be much more than this.
This is the most depressing thing for Warriors players and Warriors fans.
This was not what they expected, nor was it what they wanted to see. They never expected that when the Warriors used a small lineup and played so well on offense, they would still be 12 points behind. It was incredible.
"It doesn't matter. As long as this goal is scored, the score difference can be reduced to ten points, or even nine points."
"Yes, if we make a three-pointer, the difference can be reduced to 9 points. Come on Warriors!"
Warriors fans in the audience shouted towards the court, cheering for the Warriors.
There were still thirty seconds left in the second quarter, and each side had one offensive opportunity, but the ball was still in the hands of the Warriors.
The Warriors were not in a hurry either. They needed to use up the 24 seconds of this attack and only leave a few seconds for the Lakers.
So after Curry came to the frontcourt, they first wasted some time, and when the 24 seconds were almost up, they started attacking and gave the ball to Durant.
This was their last offensive chance in this quarter, so they chose to let Durant play.
Durant played one-on-one, first breaking through, then making a quick stop and jump shot.
This is his signature move and also his unique skill.
"Shh!"
There was a soft sound, and the basketball hit the net.
Even though the Lakers had help defense and two players rushed forward together, they were still unable to stop Durant and he still made the shot.
This is a two-point shot.
After this shot was made, the score difference between the two sides became 10 points. Although it was not narrowed to single digits, it was just at that point.
Although the Warriors players were very unhappy about being ten points behind at halftime, it was only ten points and it was still acceptable. They just had to catch up in the second half.
"There are seven seconds left in the quarter."
"There are only 7 seconds left. The Lakers don't have enough time to organize an offense. It looks like this will be the score at the end of the half."
"Come on Lakers, there are 7 seconds left and we still have one more chance to attack."
"Hit the ball..."
In the audience, fans stood up one after another.
Some people are predicting the Lakers' defeat, thinking that with only seven seconds left, the Lakers cannot possibly score again. For the Warriors, a 7-point difference is still within an acceptable range, while fans who support the Lakers hope that the Lakers can seize these seven seconds, score another goal, and further widen the gap.
Don't underestimate this ball.
If this ball does not go in, the score difference of 10 points will be stuck at a delicate point, but if this ball goes in, the score difference will be widened to more than 10 points.
Not to mention that in a game, a difference of two or three points is enough to decide the outcome of a game. If the Lakers can score this goal, it will be a big blow to the morale of the Warriors.
Therefore, Coach Scott called a timeout.
After the players came off the court, he spread out the tactical board and prepared to rearrange a tactic in an effort to score the goal.
Before he could speak, Zhuang Yu said, "Just let Brook (Lopez) come up and do a screen for me. Don't worry about anything else. Leave the ball to me. Brook, pay attention to my gestures. Don't go inside. When you see me making gestures outside the three-point line, come over and do a screen for me. Don't hesitate. We only have a few seconds left."
Big Lopez subconsciously looked at Coach Scott.
"Listen to Zhuang Yu." Coach Scott was very decisive. With only 7 seconds left, of course he would give the ball to the best player on the team.
And since it was Zhuang Yu who proposed this way of fighting, of course we should listen to him.
Sometimes the head coach needs to be in control of the overall situation on the court, but sometimes the game needs to be left to the players to handle.
For example, at a time like now, with only 7 seconds left, even if a tactic is arranged, it may not be executed. It depends more on the personal abilities of the players. The players should decide the game, not him as the coach.
"Okay." Lopez agreed.
......
The timeout ended quickly and both sides returned to the court.
The Lakers replaced Anderson with Clarkson because there were only 7 seconds left and it was the Lakers' offensive turn. There was no need for defense at all. Instead, they needed a player who could shoot to open up space.
As for the Warriors, they also changed players, and they replaced them with a defensive lineup instead of the previous five-small lineup.
After Zhuang Yu got the ball in the backcourt and quickly advanced to the frontcourt, the other four players of the Lakers were all in place and moved apart.
Lopez was standing at the free throw line, looking like he was going to assist, but when Zhuang Yu just crossed the midline, he was already on the three-point line because Zhuang Yu gestured to him to come up for a pick-and-roll.
However, what surprised Lopez was that the player defending Zhuang Yu was one meter outside the three-point line.
This is already enough defense. High-post pick-and-roll is not this high, right?
Although he had some doubts in his heart, he still resolutely carried out Zhuang Yu's arrangement, moved to one meter outside the three-point line, and made a pick-and-roll for Zhuang Yu.
This action puzzled many people, including the Warriors players.
However, there was no time to think about it, Zhuang Yu had already reached the logo area, and he jumped up and shot from two meters outside the three-point line, making an ultra-long three-pointer.
"what?"
At this time, it was Draymond Green who was defending Zhuang Yu. He was completely stunned. He didn't expect that Zhuang Yu would play like this in the last seven seconds. It was too bold.
He wanted to pounce on him at this moment, but there was no way because he was blocked by Lopez.
“It’s actually a long three-pointer!”
"This shot is a bit messy. Although this is the last attack, there are still two seconds left in the game. Zhuang Yu could have moved closer before shooting. There is no need to shoot too far."
"Haha, this guy is crazy. He really thought he was invincible because he made 7 three-pointers before. He actually dared to do this. This shot is definitely a miss."
"It's understandable, after all, it's the last attack of this quarter, and there are only a few seconds left. Even if he misses the shot, the coach won't blame him..."
in the audience.
Some people opened their mouths in surprise, some couldn't help but laugh, and some shook their heads, thinking that Zhuang Yu's fight today was really irrational.
But at this moment, the basketball drew a high arc and finally fell into the net...
