Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Accompanied by boos and cheers, players from both teams came out one after another.

Both sides knew very well what today's game meant, so Zhuang Yu did not go up to greet Love and the others, and the other side did not come over either. They just looked at each other from a distance, and they could see from each other's eyes their dedication to the game.

Everyone wants to win!

Players from both teams began to warm up on the court, while the discussions in the audience continued, and various voices were transmitted into the court.

Some players frowned, some players were a little nervous, and some were calm and composed, not listening to these, nor paying attention...

Soon, both sides finished warming up and returned to the sidelines.

The series has already been played for 4 games, and both sides already know each other very well and have used all possible tactics, so the head coach does not actually have much to make.

Moreover, in this life-and-death battle, tactics are of course important, but it mainly depends on the players' on-the-spot performance.

After some arrangements, the coaches of both teams encouraged the players before letting them go on the court.

When the players from both teams stepped onto the court, the noise from the audience broke out again.

When the jump ball ended and the Cavaliers got the ball and the game officially began, there was a huge boo from the audience.

This is at Staples Center, the home court of the Lakers, and it is a game like this, the audience seats are packed and there are countless home fans.

Huge boos were directed at the Cavaliers players.

However, the Cavaliers players have experienced various tests and have played in the finals more than once or twice, so they were not affected by the boos.

Today, the Cavaliers' starting lineup is still George Hill, JR Smith, LeBron James, Kevin Love, and TT.

The Lakers haven't changed.

Hill came to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to James.

James took a look at the defensive situation and found that the opponent did not double-team him immediately, so he chose to play one-on-one.

He first dribbled the ball between his legs continuously, then suddenly accelerated, rushed into the inside, and faced Lopez's defense. He paused slightly in the air, stayed in the air for a short time, avoided Lopez's defense, and finally made a layup with his left hand.

Zhuang Yu was not surprised at all. In a game like today, James would definitely show his attitude at the first moment.

What is attitude?

That's his attitude.

The score became 2:0, and the ball returned to the Lakers. After Holiday pushed the ball to the frontcourt, he saw Zhuang Yu holding out for the ball, and he passed it to him without hesitation. After Zhuang Yu got the ball, he played one-on-one, and Hill was still responsible for defending him on the Cavaliers side.

Zhuang Yu glanced at the basket, took a step forward with his right foot, and broke through. Hill quickly moved sideways and blocked the breakthrough route.

Zhuang Yu immediately pulled the ball back. Because James had moved over here to assist in defense, Zhuang Yu did not choose to continue breaking through. Instead, he pulled the ball back and retreated to the three-point line to shoot a three-pointer.

Hill defended very seriously and actively. His reaction was very fast. He immediately flew forward. However, Zhuang Yu's three-pointer was not only a step back, but also a backward step. Facing Hill's defense, he flicked his wrist, and with a slight sound, the basketball went through the net.

"nice shot."

"This three-pointer is so beautiful, retreating and fading, it's totally undefensible, hahahaha..."

The home fans cheered loudly and the score became 3:2.

Without waiting for Coach Tyronn Lue to say anything, James shouted at Hill, signaling him to pay attention to the three-point defense against Zhuang Yu.

Everyone knows that Zhuang Yu's three-point shot is very powerful, so it is necessary to defend his three-point shot, especially at the beginning of the game. If Zhuang Yu finds his three-point touch at the beginning of the game, it may be impossible to stop him.

"I understand." Hill nodded heavily, gritting his teeth.

When they reached the frontcourt, the ball was once again given to James.

This time, it was not just Korver who rushed forward to defend. Zhuang Yu also rushed forward immediately and double-teamed James together with Korver.

Since James has shown his attitude and started scoring from the beginning of the game, the Lakers naturally cannot let him score easily.

There is definitely no way to limit James by defending alone.

After several games, the Lakers no longer expect to defend James with one-on-one defense, and the only way is double-teaming.

Seeing the opponent coming up to double-team him, James frowned slightly and passed the ball to JR Smith.

After receiving the ball, JR Smith did not shoot himself, but passed the ball to Hill, asking Hill to reorganize the game. Hill gestured to others to move away, and then made a ground pass to Love who was asking for the ball in the low post on the left side.

The others moved away to give Love one-on-one time.

Love pushed towards the inside with his back against Anderson, and Lopez was ready to go up to assist in defense. At this moment, James suddenly cut to the basket, and Love made a ground pass to the middle. James grabbed the basketball, jumped up, and directly made an explosive one-handed slam dunk.

There was an exclamation in the audience.

This dunk was so explosive and powerful that the basket even groaned.

After James landed, he pounded his chest with a grim expression on his face.

Everyone could feel the fierce murderous aura and fierce fighting spirit of James, as well as his determination to win the game.

Turning around, all the fans' eyes fell on Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu did not hesitate. After Holiday pushed the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately ran back, took the basketball from Holiday, and then signaled others to move away.

James has shown his determination, so he naturally cannot back down.

The Cavaliers still did not double-team, after all, the Lakers' lineup was more balanced and had more scoring points.

However, this time Hill defended more forward, with his right hand raised high the whole time, just to prevent Zhuang Yu from shooting three-pointers. James also moved closer to this side in advance, ready to assist in defense. Once Zhuang Yu broke through, he would immediately stand in front of Zhuang Yu.

Seeing this situation, Zhuang Yu first lowered the ball and used his shoulder to push Hill away, creating a little space, and then suddenly started.

James quickly moved sideways, blocking Zhuang Yu's breakthrough route.

Just as Zhuang Yu was about to hit James, he suddenly stopped and pulled away.

This happened so quickly that even James didn't have time to react. He could only raise his hands high. Fortunately, he was tall and had long arms, so even if he didn't have time to jump up, he was still a great defensive threat.

However, Zhuang Yu's shot was not a simple stop-and-jump shot, but also a fade away. His body was slightly tilted, further increasing the space between him and James, allowing him to shoot more calmly. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew out of his hand.
