Although Zhuang Yu's three-pointer is the most unstoppable, after all, with his height, wingspan, physical fitness, and current three-point shooting ability, he is even more threatening than Curry in actual combat.

But it doesn't mean that your three-pointer is the most unstoppable, so you have to choose to shoot three-pointers at any time.

No matter what time it is, Zhuang Yu is always very calm. This is his greatest advantage. Even at this critical moment, he remains calm.

His three-point shooting is unstoppable. He has just made two three-pointers in a row, and the opponent will obviously defend his three-pointers at all costs.

Then shooting a three-pointer may not be a good choice at this time.

There is indeed truth in the saying that North Korea can eat anything.

But isn’t it a higher level to have no moves better than having moves?

Facts have also verified this point. The Warriors were extremely afraid of Zhuang Yu's three-pointer and even had an unbalanced mentality. They only thought about defending Zhuang Yu's three-pointer. As a result, Zhuang Yu broke through them in one step and finally scored two points with an easy layup.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Kerr immediately called a timeout because there was only one minute left in the game and they were still trailing by 5 points.

We were only three points behind.

If the Warriors could defend this defensive round, they would have a chance to narrow the gap of three points in one minute, or even tie the score. However, Zhuang Yu broke through and scored, widening the gap between the two sides to 5 points, and Coach Kerr had to call a timeout.

When several players came off the court, Coach Kerr spread out the tactical board with a serious expression, first comforted them, and then said: "There is one minute left. The 5-point difference is nothing. We just need to score two goals steadily. It doesn't matter. We still have enough time..."

As he spoke, he was also drawing a tactic: "We have the ball in the next attack, and we must score. If there is a three-point opportunity, I will shoot it resolutely. If there is no three-point opportunity, I will shoot a two-point ball, and then press the whole court..."

Meanwhile, the Lakers.

Zhuang Yu and others gathered around Coach Scott. Coach Scott's expression was extremely serious. At this time, he could not afford to be careless and solemn.

The last minute is also the minute that determines life and death.

"First of all, we have to play to our strengths and do a good job of defense. This is where we are better than the Warriors. The opponent will definitely want to score the next attack, but we can't let them succeed."

"First of all, we have to defend the three-point shot. Don't gamble. Keep an eye on the good guys. Don't miss any of them."

“I would rather let the other team score a two-point goal than a three-point goal.”

"Also, if the opponent breaks into the paint and has to foul, you must be ruthless and not let the opponent score 2+1..."

He paused, then spread out the tactical board and drew a tactic: "When it's our offensive round, we'll play like this. We must run and get the ball to Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu, don't feel any pressure. Do you want to shoot a three-pointer or a two-pointer? You decide how to play. I trust you."

Teammates also said: "We believe in you, too."

Zhuang Yu nodded heavily.

......

The timeout ended quickly and both sides returned to the court. Everyone's eyes were extremely sharp and shining.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the field became more solemn than ever, as if the air was about to freeze.

All the fans in the audience stood up, but no one shouted. It was surprisingly quiet. Everyone stared at the court, their hearts tense and not daring to breathe.

The Warriors attack.

Curry pushed the ball to the frontcourt, staring at the timer and silently calculating the time, and gestured to his teammates. Several Warriors players began to run quickly, and Draymond Green stepped forward to screen Curry. Curry did not attack the basket directly, but passed the ball back to Draymond Green, and then he and Klay began to move quickly.

The Warriors can't use the elevator door tactic now, and they can't risk using it at this time.

If you get called for a screen foul, it would be a waste of time.

However, in addition to the elevator door tactics, the Warriors still have many other tactics to play.

At this time, Draymond Green controlled the ball, while Curry and Klay cut to the inside together.

There was obviously no chance for an open cut to receive the ball and score. The two simply used the open cut to attract the defense, and then suddenly exploded, one to the left and one to the right, each running to one side and returning to the three-point line.

At this time, the Lakers players were all chasing Curry and Klay, and there was a loophole in the defense against Durant.

Draymond Green did not pass the ball to Curry or Klay, but passed it to Durant.

Durant stood outside the three-point line and raised the ball, but did not shoot a three-pointer directly.

At this time, any ball is very crucial. He thought it would be safer. After making a fake shot, he took a step forward and completely got rid of the defender before jumping up and shooting from mid-range.

This is his best skill and his most reliable trick.

Swish!

Sure enough, with a slight sound, the ball hit the target, changing the score between the two sides to 118:115, with only a difference of three points.

There are 43 seconds left in the game.

Coach Kerr nodded secretly. Although this was not a three-pointer, he was still quite satisfied that he got two points in just over ten seconds.

"43 seconds, we still have enough time."

Coach Kerr thought to himself.

The Lakers did not call a timeout, and Holiday continued to advance with the ball in the backcourt, while the Warriors pressed the entire court.

Holiday frowned, and when he saw Zhuang Yu coming to receive the ball, he immediately passed the ball to him. After receiving the ball, Zhuang Yu quickly advanced, but when he reached the frontcourt, he slowed down and gestured to his teammates, indicating that they should waste some time first.

At this time, the Lakers were still leading by three points. They had to use up all 24 seconds of this offense, regardless of whether they could score or not, and not leave too much time for the Warriors.

At this time, the Warriors did not dare to double-team him, and since Zhuang Yu had excellent dribbling skills, they had no way to steal the ball. They could only watch Zhuang Yu waste time outside the three-point line.

Zhuang Yu started the attack when there were only a few seconds left. He first called a pick-and-roll to his teammates, and after Lopez came to the line, Zhuang Yu moved quickly.

"Switch defense."

The Warriors players quickly switched defense.

Draymond Green immediately rushed over, took Klay's position, and rushed directly in front of Zhuang Yu.

He waved his hands back and forth, not giving Zhuang Yu a chance to shoot directly.

The reason why Drummond Green dared to defend so closely was because the offensive time was running out. If Zhuang Yu passed the ball again, the Lakers would not have enough time to reorganize. His teammates could only force shots against the time limit, which would not have a high hit rate.

But Zhuang Yu didn't think about passing the ball. He had been prepared to shoot himself since early on, but he would consume his energy to the end.

Facing Draymond Green's oppressive defense, Zhuang Yu was not in a hurry. He silently calculated the time in his mind. When there were only four seconds left in the offensive time, he suddenly changed direction. Draymond Green quickly moved sideways and raised his hand.

His judgment was very accurate. In fact, Zhuang Yu just wanted to shoot because time was running out.

This change of direction did not shake off Draymond Green, but Zhuang Yu did not hesitate at all. He jumped towards Draymond Green and leaned back in the air.

"He's going to vote..."

"Hurry up and jump on it."

Warriors fans chanted.

In fact, there was no need for them to shout, Draymond Green had already rushed forward and jumped up with all his might.

However, this was a fade away, and there was no way he could block it.

However, the interference on this ball was already very great, and the shot was very difficult, almost as if he had to force a shot facing the defensive player.

Zhuang Yu shook his wrist in the air, and after landing he lost his balance and fell to the ground, but his eyes were always on the basketball.

The orange basketball flew out from his fingertips, drawing an exaggerated arc, so high that people couldn't help but look up, their eyes moving with the spinning basketball in the air.

“Will this ball go in?”

“You must go in.”

"If this ball goes in, we win."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the basketball without blinking.

The basketball hit the basket and then began to spin on the basket, round and round, and it finally stopped after spinning twice.

Now everyone's heart was in their throat, looking at the shaky basketball, wondering whether he would fall in or run out.

Zhuang Yu's heart was also in suspense.

"Wow..."

Fortunately, the ball struggled for a while and finally fell into the net.

Suddenly, the whole stadium erupted in huge cheers. The fans screamed, shouted and cheered excitedly, excited for the goal and cheering for Zhuang Yu.

Not only did this ball go in, it was also a three-pointer. After this ball was made, the score between the two sides became 121:115.

The score difference came to 6 points.

The 6-point difference left the Warriors with only 20 seconds left.

The game is basically over.

"Damn it."

"It's really weird that this can even be allowed in."

"Draymond Green has defended to the extreme. If Zhuang Yu hadn't made a fadeaway..."

Warriors fans all lamented.

No one blamed Draymond Green for his poor defense. This kind of ball is not a question of good or bad defense. Draymond Green was not fooled by Zhuang Yu's fake move and he rushed forward at the first moment. If he had rushed a little more fiercely, he might have been called for a foul. If Zhuang Yu hadn't made a fadeaway jump shot, the ball might have been blocked.

Unfortunately......

Some Lakers fans had already started cheering, but the game wasn't over yet, and Coach Kerr called one final timeout.

When several players came to the sidelines, he first encouraged them and then spread out the tactical board, but there was not much to arrange. With only 20 seconds left, all they had to do was grab three points, then bet on the opponent's turnover, or use foul tactics to send the opponent to the free throw line and pray that the opponent's free throws would not make it.

I have to say that the Warriors are worthy of being the defending champions. They are very tenacious and they have not lost their fighting spirit even at this time.

Wait until the timeout is over and both sides return to the court.

The ball was given to Curry, who took a long three-pointer. He shot as soon as he received the ball, completely ignoring the defender in front of him, as if the basket was the only thing in his eyes.

Swish!

With a slight sound, the ball accurately penetrated the net.

If it weren't for Zhuang Yu's three-pointer, Curry's three-pointer would definitely have caused the whole audience to boil, because he could tie the score after making this three-pointer. It's a pity that Zhuang Yu just made a three-pointer, and now even if Curry made the shot, it would only narrow the gap between the two sides to three points, and there were only 10 seconds left in the game.

The Warriors had no timeouts, and the Lakers did not call a timeout either. They served the ball directly from the baseline, and the Warriors immediately used a foul tactic.

Zhuang Yu stood on the free throw line, and the whole stadium fell silent. Only the Warriors fans were shouting at the court, trying to interfere with Zhuang Yu's free throws. However, it didn't work.

Zhuang Yu took a deep breath and made the first free throw.

Then he paused for a moment and made the second free throw.

When two free throws were made, the difference between the two sides became 5 points again, reaching 123:118, and there were only 6 seconds left in the game.

With 6 seconds and a 5-point difference, the Warriors had no chance at all.

In the last 5 seconds, when the ball was sent from the backcourt, Curry immediately threw a three-pointer, but the ball was too difficult and he failed to make it, and the game ended.
