Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"The Cavaliers are still in the upper hand."

"In the previous two games, the Cavaliers always fell behind when it came to rotation time, but I didn't expect it to be the other way around today."

"I have to say that Rose's performance is really outstanding. He performed very well in the previous two games and he performed very well in today's game. This offseason, the Cavaliers should give him a reasonable contract. The Cavaliers need such a player."

In the audience, the home fans were discussing.

Today, the Cavaliers can be said to have always held the lead on the court. They have been leading since the first quarter. At this time, it is rotation time in the fourth quarter, and they are still leading in the score, although the difference is only in single digits.

But this was clearly not the effect Coach Scott wanted.

"Requesting a substitution."

Coach Scott made quick substitutions, first subbing Holiday in to face Rose. Holiday's defense is excellent and can limit Rose to a certain extent. Holiday can also organize and score, so substituting him in will definitely have an effect.

When Holiday returned to the court, his momentum paid off.

He first assisted his teammates to score on the offensive end, and then on the defensive end he launched an oppressive defense against Rose, making it impossible for Rose to launch an attack calmly.

After a few rounds, the Lakers regained the upper hand and the gap between the two sides began to narrow.

Coach Tyronn Lue responded very quickly. As soon as he saw the score gap start to narrow, he immediately made a substitution, replacing James.

Now it's Rose and James on the court, plus a few substitute players, while the Lakers have Holiday and Clarkson.

Comparing the two, the combination of Rose + James is stronger, after all, James is too unstoppable.

......

"Humph."

Coach Scott frowned and snorted coldly. He glanced at the game time and made another substitution, replacing Zhuang Yu and Anderson.

Of the starting players, only Korver and Lopez were still sitting on the sidelines.

After this substitution, the lineup on the field became Holiday, Clarkson, Zhuang Yu, Anderson, and Nance Jr.

After coming on the court, Zhuang Yu immediately exerted his strength on the offensive end. He first made continuous counter-runs, got rid of the cover of his teammates, came to the three-point line, received the ball and shot, hitting a three-pointer.

He then used his personal ability to play one-on-one, broke through and made a layup, scoring 5 points in a row, narrowing the gap between the two sides to three points and forcing the Cavaliers to call a timeout.

A group of players gathered around coach Tyronn Lue. Coach Tyronn Lue waved his hand and made another substitution, this time replacing the remaining main players.

Back in the starting lineup.

At the same time, the Lakers also made substitutions.

When both sides returned to the court, they changed back to the starting lineup.

......

In the audience, fans began to shout loudly, cheering for the Cavaliers.

On the court, the Cavaliers launched an attack. Hill pushed the ball to the front court and passed it to James. James took a look at the situation on the court and saw that the Lakers were still double-teaming him. He frowned slightly, passed the ball first, and then started to move.

James first strolled around the right side, then suddenly ran back and received the ball on the strong side. Before the Lakers could double-team him again, he broke through quickly, hugged the basketball and ran straight to the basket like a tank, and scored the ball after competing with Lopez in the air.

Lopez was a little helpless. He was a big center, but he was knocked away by James.

But this is not the first time.

There is no doubt about James' ability to confront. It is no surprise that Lopez was knocked away when he was able to take off with Marcus Morris hanging on him.

After this goal, the difference between the two sides became 7 points again.

But the score is secondary. James attacked this ball very resolutely. He showed with his actions that he was determined to win this game.

Several Lakers players looked at Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu patted his chest and came to the frontcourt. Holiday dribbled the ball forward and passed it to Zhuang Yu after crossing the center line.

At this time, it was Hill who rushed over to defend Zhuang Yu. He went directly to the three-point line and started to defend Zhuang Yu closely in order to prevent Zhuang Yu from shooting three-pointers.

at the same time.

James was also watching this side. When Zhuang Yu lowered his center of gravity to break through, James immediately moved over here to help Hill defend and block Zhuang Yu's breakthrough route.

At this time, the Cavaliers will naturally focus on defending Zhuang Yu.

But they didn't dare to double-team him easily, because Zhuang Yu, like James, was very versatile and a great passer. Once they double-teamed him, they would miss someone, and the Lakers had the Big Three, so missing someone would often mean losing points.

"Just assisting in defense?"

Zhuang Yu chuckled and did not rush to attack. Instead, he passed the ball and then began to cut into the inside. With the help of Lopez's cover, he got rid of Hill and quickly moved to the right corner and received the basketball again.

This time, Zhuang Yu did not choose to break through, but directly lifted the ball. The Cavaliers quickly switched defense and TT pounced on Zhuang Yu.

However, after TT jumped up, he found that Zhuang Yu did not jump, but took a step forward, leaving TT behind him, and then jumped up and took a mid-range jump shot.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"This ball... there's nothing we can do about it."

"This guy has so many ways to score, it's hard to defend against him."

“Why not let LeBron guard him?”

Some people shook their heads and sighed.

In the next round, when Zhuang Yu got the ball again, the person in front of him became James, and it was James who came to defend him.

Compared with Hill, James has the advantage of height and confrontation, but if he defends Zhuang Yu, it will further consume his physical energy.

But the Cavaliers played well today, and James got enough rest time. He is still physically fit and can handle it.

Now it became a 1-on-1 match between Zhuang Yu and James.

"Pull away."

Zhuang Yu narrowed his eyes and gestured to his teammates, indicating that there was no need to come over for screen and that they should just move away.

Then he lowered his center of gravity, dribbled the ball between his legs, lowered his left shoulder, and suddenly burst out with speed, breaking through to the left.

There were no fancy moves this time, just incredibly fast speed.

James was unable to completely hold his position for a moment. He could only slightly sideways towards Zhuang Yu to prevent Zhuang Yu from passing him directly.

Although he passed James by half a body length, he was not able to completely get rid of James. With James' bounce, explosive power, and height, it was not easy for Zhuang Yu to make a layup with him sticking to him, and he might even be chased and hit.

Zhuang Yu also knew this, so he did not plan to make a layup. Instead, he took two steps forward, hooked the basketball with his left hand and turned around, not forward, but backward, similar to a turnaround jump shot, and it was a fade away.

This time the speed was very fast. Although James rushed forward at the first moment, he was still a little slow, not to mention that Zhuang Yu was still leaning back.

Even though he was taller than Zhuang Yu, he couldn't block it.
