Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Dudu..."

Seeing Lopez and Draymond Green colliding with each other, the two referees quickly ran over and stood between the two, separating them. They blew the whistles loudly, for fear that a conflict would really occur, which would be a lot of fun.

Although conflicts are not uncommon during games, let alone Draymond Green, if the referee cannot control the game, it is a manifestation of the referee's lack of ability. They are not afraid of any disputes between the players on both sides of the game, but they are afraid of an unmanageable situation.

This is a strict requirement of the league.

After all, things like the Palace of Auburn Hills incident have a huge impact on the league's image and need to be avoided as much as possible.

Fortunately, the referee controlled the situation in time and the two sides did not really fight, but in the end each of them received a technical foul.

Zhuang Yu had been pulled up by his teammates.

He came to Lopez and held his arm: "Don't be impulsive, Draymond Green did it on purpose, he just wants to irritate you, it's not worth trading with him, unless you use..."

Zhuang Yu's eyes moved, he glanced at his own bench, and patted Lopez, signaling him to calm down.

Draymond Green's move was very big this time, but fortunately Zhuang Yu was not injured. However, he will not let Draymond Green go so easily.

......

Soon, the game continued.

Zhuang Yu stood on the free throw line and made both free throws, but Klay also made a three-pointer when he turned around.

When the Lakers attacked, Zhuang Yu got the ball again and chose to break through. Draymond Green rushed over again. Zhuang Yu hugged the ball and pretended to jump, but Draymond Green had already jumped without thinking. However, when he jumped and found that Zhuang Yu did not jump, he knew he was fooled and quickly controlled his body to avoid being called for a foul.

"Where are you going to hide?"

Zhuang Yu sneered, jumped up quickly, touched Draymond Green, and threw the ball out.

beep!

The referee immediately blew the whistle and gave Draymond Green a foul.

Draymond Green was frustrated and went to the referee to argue, but the referee just stared at him coldly, warning him with his eyes not to go too far.

Don't forget that you just received a technical foul. Do you want another one?

Curry also quickly grabbed Draymond Green. If he received another technical foul, he would be sent off the game.

Draymond Green himself knew this, so he could only look at Zhuang Yu angrily. Zhuang Yu stretched out a finger and pointed at Draymond Green, meaning: "Come again if you have the guts." Draymond Green was so angry that he almost went crazy, but he had to control his emotions.

Zhuang Yu once again stood on the free throw line and made both free throws.

Although today the Warriors tried desperately to block his three-pointers and focused all their defensive attention on him, further strengthening the defense, Zhuang Yu did not shoot many three-pointers, but he passed a lot of good balls to his teammates. However, he has already scored 8 points by combining breakthroughs and free throws.

This is not a good sign for the Warriors, after all, the first quarter has not yet ended.

So Draymond Green's foul just now made Coach Kerr frown, but he had arranged before the game that he could use fouls appropriately to prevent Zhuang Yu from scoring, so he couldn't blame Draymond Green. He just replaced Draymond Green and let him calm down.

Then Coach Kerr took a look at the score and his frown relaxed a little.

Although Zhuang Yu had scored 8 points in this quarter, it was clear that the restriction on Zhuang Yu was not very good, but it was comforting that Zhuang Yu did not score a three-pointer. In addition, the Warriors played very well on offense.

So in terms of the score, the Warriors are still leading.

Of course the lead was not that big, just two points.

......

Soon, halfway through the first quarter, both sides began to replace their rotation lineups, and after replacing their rotation lineups, the Lakers regained the upper hand.

Zhuang Yu still stayed on the court.

Because today he was mainly responsible for attracting defense and creating opportunities for his teammates, and was not the main attacking point, his physical energy consumption was not great.

Just let him stay on the court and attract the defense.

Of course, if the Warriors relax their defense on Zhuang Yu after changing to a rotation lineup, then Zhuang Yu can also switch to scoring mode.

"It seems that the Warriors have not relaxed their defense against Zhuang Yu." Assistant coach Madsen frowned slightly.

"It doesn't matter." Coach Scott remained calm and said, "It's a good opportunity for the substitutes to get a feel for the game. If we want other role players to step up and score, we have to give them opportunities and can't always rely on Zhuang Yu."

Assistant Coach Madsen nodded, that's true.

After all, the tone set today is that Zhuang Yu attracts defense, while other players need to step up and score more points, so the current situation is actually not a bad thing for the Lakers.

......

on the field.

Zhuang Yu carried the ball forward and after reaching the frontcourt, he first called for a pick-and-roll and then immediately broke through. The Warriors quickly tightened their defense.

However, Zhuang Yu made a wonderful pass without looking at anyone and gave it to Gerald Green outside the three-point line. Gerald Green quickly made the three-pointer.

The Lakers clearly had the upper hand in the next few rounds.

Originally, the Warriors were slightly ahead before the substitution, but now the Lakers not only reversed the score, but also widened the gap to 5 points.

This made Coach Kerr frown again. He thought about it and replaced Draymond Green again.

The Lakers also made a substitution, replacing Kuzma.

Kuzma came to Zhuang Yu's side, looking a little nervous: "Can I...can I do it? I'm not good at this kind of thing."

Zhuang Yu patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay. It's normal for young people to have a bad temper. Just let it go."

This substitution was not random, but was instructed by Zhuang Yu beforehand.

When the opponent replaces Draymond Green, we replace Kuzma. Kuzma's task is to target and stimulate Draymond Green, and it would be best if there is some conflict.

Anyway, even if he is ejected, the Lakers will not be affected much by the loss of a rookie like Kuzma, but the Warriors cannot afford the loss.

What's more, Draymond Green had just received a technical foul.

Even if he didn't fight, just a few words, a few pushes, and a technical foul would be enough to get him kicked off.

It is naturally impossible to let the main players do such a thing, let alone Zhuang Yu.

The look in Draymond Green's eyes when he looked at Zhuang Yu left no doubt that he would target Zhuang Yu.

What should I do in this situation?

Simply being tolerant is obviously not a solution, and Zhuang Yu is unlikely to fight with Draymond Green. If Zhuang Yu receives a technical foul or is directly expelled, that would not be worth it.

So usually at times like this the team has to send out some experienced older players, or young players with a hot temper and who are not afraid of trouble, to do the dirty and tiring work.
