Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

This substitution was indeed effective.

After Rose came on the court, he not only scored two points himself, but he also quickly passed a good ball to Love, assisting Love to score in the low post.

One very obvious phenomenon is that when Rose came on the court, the Cavaliers' offense played more smoothly and the players gradually found their offensive form.

Previously, the Cavaliers were at a disadvantage and the score gap was widened by the Lakers. But after Rose returned to the court, he not only stabilized the situation, but also gradually narrowed the score gap.

This made Tyronn Lue very satisfied.

Rose may be the biggest surprise for the Cavaliers this season.

Of course, the Lakers were not happy.

"Requesting a substitution."

Coach Scott made a substitution, bringing on Holiday, and asked Holiday to be responsible for defending Rose. Looking at Rose's condition today, he must be the focus of defending him.

On the court, Holiday and Rose faced each other, their eyes met, and then quickly looked away.

Holiday glanced at the situation on the court, took in the positions of his teammates, then made a gesture, and Lopez came up for a screen and roll. Holiday moved to the right, his eyes fixed on Lopez, and it looked like he was going to play a screen and roll with Lopez.

But in reality this only confuses the opponent.

When everyone else was guarding against Lopez cutting into the paint after the pick-and-roll, Holiday immediately accelerated to get rid of him, successfully passed Rose, and rushed into the paint for a layup.

"nice shot."

"Haha, the Cavaliers have Rose, and we have Holiday, who also scored right away."

The home fans cheered excitedly.

Zhuang Yu also smiled.

Holiday played this ball very smartly. Although Coach Scott substituted him in, the main scoring points for the Lakers were still Lopez and Clarkson. Holiday's main purpose was to organize the offense and defend Rose.

The Cavaliers players are naturally aware of this, so their defensive focus will not fall on Holiday.

After Holiday and Lopez played a pick-and-roll, the Cavaliers players naturally focused their attention on Lopez.

This gave Holiday the opportunity to score.

Another point is that Rose has experienced many serious injuries after all. Even though he has performed well this season, proving that he can still help the team offensively and in organization, his defense is a problem.

Even in his prime, Rose was not a player known for his defense.

What's more, he has experienced many serious injuries and his physical fitness is far worse than before. He is okay on the offensive end, but it is difficult for him to make much contribution on the defensive end.

Holiday knew this, so he played very decisively on this offense. He successfully got rid of Rose and made a layup.

Rose frowned slightly, and after coming to the frontcourt, he also called for a pick-and-roll, trying to get rid of Holiday's defense, but was unsuccessful.

Rose was not in a hurry to signal his teammates to slow down. While the others moved away, he tried to play one-on-one, first with a series of crossover steps, and then suddenly accelerated.

However, Holiday played very well on defense. He responded immediately, retreated and moved sideways, got into position first, and used his body to put pressure on Rose.

If he was in his prime, with his extreme speed and terrifying explosive power, it would be difficult for Holiday to defend against Rose's breakthrough.

But now and then.

Rose soon found that it was not easy to pass Holiday, so he did not force it. Instead, he passed the ball to Hood and made a gesture to Hood.

at the same time.

On the Cavaliers side, the players started to move. Love went up the line to screen for Hood, who took the opportunity to break through, while Rose also quickly ran back and then made an open cut.

At this time, Hood passed the ball to Rose, Holiday immediately chased after him, and the Lakers quickly contracted their defense and launched a siege.

However, this time Rose did not choose to layup himself, but passed the ball to the outside after attracting the defense.

"not good."

"There's someone outside the three-point line."

There was an exclamation in the audience.

At this time, the Lakers' defense had been disrupted, and because of the contraction of the defense line, there was a vacant area on the outside, and Love did not stay inside. He pulled to the right three-point line, and at this time Rose passed the ball to him, and Love immediately took a three-point shot after receiving the ball.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"Well done."

"nice shot!"

On the Cavaliers bench, James stood up first, and other players also stood up and shouted towards the court, cheering for the ball.

Coach Tyronn Lue couldn't help but smile.

This is the role played by Rose. Even though his offensive impact is not as strong as before, his control over the situation and his organizational skills can still help the team.

Having a player like this on the court can make the Cavaliers' offense more reasonable and allow his teammates to perform better.

But even though Rose performed well and even Love gradually regained his form, the Cavaliers could only maintain the score.

After all, the Lakers also have Holiday, Clarkson and Lopez.

More than four minutes into the second quarter, the Lakers still led by 6 points.

The Cavaliers began to replace James, George, Hill, and TT. Among the starting players, except JR Smith, everyone else returned to the court.

James cooperated with TT right from the start, assisting TT to perform a dunk in the paint.

The Lakers also quickly made substitutions, returning Zhuang Yu and Anderson.

At this time, Clarkson was still on the court, Holiday played the No. 1 position, Clarkson played the No. 2 position, and Zhuang Yu was pushed to the No. 3 position, directly facing James.

boom!

With a dull thud, Clarkson's three-pointer missed. James took the ball and pushed forward, wanting to launch a quick counterattack, but the Lakers retreated quickly.

Seeing that there was no chance for a fast break, James slowed down, first passed the ball to Rose, and then moved to the weak side. However, after two passes, the others failed to find an opportunity, and the ball returned to James' hands, and Zhuang Yu stood in front of James.

A lot of offensive time has been consumed. James did not hesitate and was very decisive. He took the ball and played one-on-one, dribbling between his legs continuously, and then suddenly accelerated.

He is very fast, but because he is too big, he does not seem as fast as some guards. At this moment, Zhuang Yu was standing in front of James and responded immediately, trying to get into position, but James still passed him by half a body length.

As the defending side, unless you are standing directly on the opponent's defensive line, any collision between the two bodies is just a normal confrontation and will not be called an offensive foul.

At this moment, James had passed Zhuang Yu by half a body length, and his body quickly collided with Zhuang Yu.

A huge force hit him and Zhuang Yu couldn't help but take two steps back. He felt shocked and helpless because the power gap was too big.

Even though his physical confrontation ability has improved a lot compared to before, he is still at an absolute disadvantage when facing James.

When Zhuang Yu was knocked away, James took the opportunity to grab the basketball and rushed forward.

Lopez tried to make up for the defense, but still failed to stop it. James not only has strength, but also speed, jumping ability, explosiveness, height and excellent finishing skills.

People only know that Irving's pull-up is gorgeous and his jelly layup is cool, but few people notice that James's hands are also amazing - a big man over two meters tall, with that kind of physical strength, but when he rushes up and does a layup, his wrist is extremely flexible.

This is not something ordinary people can do.

Swish!

The ball was scored and the score difference was 4 points.

“I really can’t stop it.”

"Zhuang Yu's defensive ability is unquestionable, but he still can't defend against James. The power gap is too big."

"I can't defend against you one-on-one, no matter who comes..."

People sighed.

In the next few rounds, James took the lead in the Cavaliers' offense, Rose was responsible for organization, and Love, as a three-point shooting point, was responsible for opening up space.

This gave James enough space to break through. He knew that Zhuang Yu's defense was very strong and that fake moves could hardly fool Zhuang Yu, so he did not try to make many fake moves. Instead, he was simple and direct, relying on his size and strength advantages to beat Zhuang Yu.

beep!

The whistle blew, the referee called a foul on Lopez and signaled James to stand on the free throw line.

James failed to score this goal as Lopez fouled him, but he made both free throws at the free throw line.

Lopez was a little helpless, and Zhuang Yu could only smile bitterly.

The title of the league's king is not an exaggeration. James and Durant are even tough and helpless opponents for him. James is strong, tall, and fast, and he is unstoppable when he rushes forward. Durant is tall, has a long wingspan, and has excellent shooting skills, and there is no way to block him if he tries to pull up for the ball.

"James' breakthrough is truly unstoppable."

Zhuang Yu muttered to himself, and after arriving at the frontcourt, he made a back-run to ask for the ball, and waited for Lopez to come up for a screen. He moved to the left, and TT of the Cavaliers stepped forward to delay him, but Zhuang Yu ignored him and shot a three-pointer directly towards TT.

Swish!

There was a soft sound, and the basketball hit the net.

The home fans cheered, and Zhuang Yu turned around and retreated, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

James' breakthrough is indeed unstoppable, but the Cavaliers can't defend his three-pointer either.

......

After a while.

The Lakers were on offense. Zhuang Yu made a circle along the inside line and returned to the three-point line to ask for the ball. He immediately raised the ball and pretended to shoot a three-pointer.

"Hurry up and rush over..."

Someone shouted and the Cavaliers immediately switched defense.

At this time, the person closest to Zhuang Yu happened to be James. He rushed forward and raised his hand. However, Zhuang Yu did not shoot directly. He just made a fake shot. After James jumped up, he put the ball down, took a step to the side, and then shot.

Swish!

Go in again.

Amid the cheers of the home fans, James put his hands on his hips and shook his head, feeling a little helpless.

Zhuang Yu is 198cm tall and very fast. He can both break through and shoot, especially his three-point shot, which is as unreasonable as Curry's, making it hard to defend against.

If the three-point shot of Curry who is 191cm tall is not considered unsolvable, then the three-point shot of Curry who is 198cm tall can be said to be unsolvable.

And it just so happens that Zhuang Yu is the 198cm version of Curry!
