Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Swish!

Hit again.

Although it was not a three-pointer this time, it still made the Cavaliers players tremble in their hearts. James scored two goals in a row, and Zhuang Yu also scored two goals in a row. It can be said that they were tit-for-tat and neither was at a disadvantage.

Obviously Zhuang Yu was in very good condition today.

The most important thing is that facing an all-around attacker like Zhuang Yu, the Cavaliers do not have a good way to limit him.

"As expected of a two-time scoring champion, his scoring ability is incredible."

"It's mainly because Zhuang Yu's three-point shot is too threatening. Hill has to defend closely. Once he defends closely, he will be easily passed by Zhuang Yu. He can only rely on his teammates to help him with assisting and supplementing defense. But the Cavaliers don't dare to double-team easily. How can they defend it?"

Some fans are discussing.

In the studio, Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley were also discussing the previous few balls.

Barkley said: "LeBron's performance in this playoffs is really outstanding. He is the most versatile star in the league today."

O'Neal immediately said, "What about Russell Westbrook? He averaged a triple-double for two consecutive seasons."

"No, no, no." Barkley shook his head. "It's different. Russell's triple-double average is indeed impressive, but unlike LeBron, he lacks LeBron's dominance on the court. Let's put it this way. Russell gets a triple-double for the sake of getting a triple-double, while LeBron gets a triple-double by accident because he wants to win the game."

O'Neal nodded, the two were indeed different.

Then O'Neal said, "What about Zhuang Yu? He is also versatile. He can drive, shoot and pass. Maybe his rebounding is a little worse than LeBron. But his outside shooting ability is much better than LeBron, especially his three-point shooting. I think he is not inferior to Stephen Curry."

As a Lakers legend, O'Neal is definitely on the side of the Lakers.

Barkley shrugged and said, "I have to admit that Zhuang Yu has proven his strength with his performance. He is indeed one of the best players in the league today, even as good as LeBron, KD, and Stephen Curry. He is indeed very versatile, especially in scoring. He is almost unstoppable and a super scorer like KD."

O'Neal smiled and asked, "So who do you think will score higher today, Zhuang Yu or LeBron?"

Barkley glared at him and thought, you're trying to cause trouble for me again, aren't you?

The two are also old partners. Barkley rolled his eyes and said, "I'll let you choose first, and I'll choose the other one."

This threw the question back to O'Neal, but O'Neal was not a pushover and immediately said, "You want to make a bet with me? Then there must be some stakes, such as...if you lose, you need to kiss the donkey's ass."

This really hurts.

When Yao Ming joined the Rockets in his rookie season, he did not play well at first and was criticized, even abused and ridiculed.

At that time, Barkley was already working as a basketball commentator on TNT TV, and his partner was the famous commentator Kenny Smith.

The two were in the studio before a game, and Smith supported Yao Ming, saying that Yao Ming just played poorly temporarily and still had great potential.

Barkley was furious when he heard this. He was very dissatisfied. He was one of the people who criticized Yao Ming. He said immediately: "You are here again. To show my disdain for your ridiculous views, let's make a bet. If Yao Ming scores 19 points in one game during his entire NBA career, I will kiss your ass."

In the subsequent game against the Suns, Yao Ming played for 14 minutes, made 6 of 5 shots and scored 10 points. His offensive efficiency was quite good, but it was still nearly halfway to 19 points.

And Yao Ming also had an embarrassing scene in that game.

When he was defending a pick-and-roll, he was knocked down by Stephen Marbury, who was playing for the Suns at the time. Barkley, who was sitting in the TNT studio, was overjoyed when he saw this scene.

It's just that Barkley laughed too early.

Not long after, in the Rockets' away game against the Lakers, Yao Ming played for 23 minutes, made all 9 of his shots and 2 free throws, contributing 20 points and helping the Rockets defeat the Lakers.

After Yao Ming made 9 of 9 shots and scored 20 points, the pressure was put on Barkley.

Four days later, Barkley and Smith met on the TNT live broadcast room. Barkley wanted to play dumb at first and not mention the Yao Ming incident. Smith couldn't help but ask, "Charles, how do you think Yao Ming is playing recently?"

Barkley was prepared: "That's great. I've said it before, I hope Yao Ming will have an outstanding performance. He played well, and I'm really happy."

JR Smith had never seen such a shameless person. He was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Don't play dumb. Didn't you see Yao Ming scored 9 points with 9 shots? We made a bet. If Yao Ming scored 20 points, you kiss my ass. We are all witnesses. Now Yao Ming has 19 points. Come quickly."

TNT TV station is also good at doing things and has been prepared for it for a long time.

A staff member rushed into the live broadcast room, trying to force Barkley to fulfill the bet, but Barkley relied on his weight to stay in his seat and couldn't even pull himself up. After all, kissing Smith's butt in public was too embarrassing for him.

Seeing Barkley cheating, Smith smiled coldly. He was also prepared and had someone bring a donkey to the stage with a sign on its neck that read "KENNY". In English, "ass" means buttocks, and also means donkey.

So Smith decided to use a donkey's butt instead.

Barkley had already boasted before, so now he had to kiss the donkey even if he didn't want to. He thought that kissing a donkey's butt was better than kissing Smith's butt, so he had to give the donkey a light kiss.

The scene of Barkley kissing the donkey's butt at that time can be regarded as a famous painting in the history of basketball.

This move became a hilarious incident that shocked the entire United States that day, and also made countless Chinese fans feel relieved and extremely happy.

Now that O'Neal mentioned kissing the donkey's ass again, he was exposing Barkley's scars, and Barkley immediately became famous.

It's been so many years, and you're still bringing it up?

He slammed the table with a dark face and said angrily: "I don't want you to kiss the donkey's ass, I want you to kiss my ass. I bet James will score higher than Zhuang Yu today."

You're broken!

O'Neal laughed secretly in his heart, shook his head and said, "I can't kiss a donkey's butt, let alone your butt, but I'm going to make a bet with you. I think Zhuang Yu will score higher than James today. If I lose, I will kiss your bald head."

Smith stared at O'Neal's head unhappily: "You also have a bald head."

"Yes." O'Neal smiled and said, "If I lose, I can also let you kiss my bald head. You see, we both have bald heads, so neither of us will suffer."

"Hmph, let's make a bet." Barkley snorted unhappily and agreed to the bet, thinking that even if he lost, kissing O'Neal's bald head was better than kissing a donkey's ass.

It's a pity that "bald" is not a polysemous word in English, but their words made the Chinese fans burst into laughter.

"Fuck, this is impossible. If you lose, you have to kiss a bald head. Which head is it?"

"A big bald head, right? Could it be a small bald head?"

"Cao, you guys are so disgusting..."

The Chinese fans were so happy, but just thinking about that scene gives me a chill. Forget it.

In other words, O'Neal and Barkley don't know the profoundness of Chinese. If they knew, they would definitely vomit first.

......

The players on the field didn't know about the bet between O'Neal and Barkley.

The game is still going on...

After James and Zhuang Yu competed, other players also began to exert their strength. Both sides played very well in offense. The Cavaliers played in the same multi-point manner as in the previous game, and every player seemed to be in good shape.

The Lakers are also excellent, especially Lopez.

After Zhuang Yu scored consecutively, Lopez also started to exert his strength, first single-handedly against TT in the low post, and then pulled to the outside to screen. After receiving the pass from his teammate, he saw that TT did not rush forward, so he shot directly from outside the three-point line and hit it steadily.

After a few rounds, the scores of both sides were rising rapidly, and the Lakers temporarily led their opponents with a one-point advantage.

"ball."

James ran back to ask his teammates for the ball. He stood outside the three-point line, glanced at the basket, lowered his center of gravity, and pretended to break through.

Zhuang Yu moved closer and double-teamed Korver.

James passed the ball to Love, who tried to play one-on-one in the low post, but did not have a good chance. James moved quickly and Love passed the ball back to James, who took a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

Swish!

Also enter.

Only a few minutes into the game, James had already scored 7 points, and he made 3 of 3 shots, with a very high scoring efficiency.

This three-pointer helped the Cavaliers overtake the score, but then Zhuang Yu used a breakthrough to attract the defense and assisted Lopez with a two-handed dunk.

For a period of time afterwards, the two sides went back and forth, and it seemed that neither could defend the other, and the court was filled with a fierce offensive battle.

The game had only been going on for more than 5 minutes and the score had already become 18:17.

The Cavaliers lead by one point.

At this time, the Lakers made the first substitution. Coach Scott replaced Anderson with Clarkson.

Compared with the past, Clarkson was brought on earlier today.

This is because the game is now a head-on attack, and both teams are excellent at attacking, so it's time to compare whose offense is better.

Anderson is better on the defensive end when he stays on the court, but he is not as good as Clarkson on the offensive end.

Of course, after replacing Clarkson, the Lakers' height has been reduced, and they will be at a disadvantage in interior defense and rebounding.

However, judging from the current situation of the game, there is no big problem.

After this substitution, the Lakers' offense became more and more sharp. Holiday, Zhuang Yu, Clarkson, and Korver, all four of them have good three-point shooting ability, which can greatly open up the space. After the space is opened up, whether it is a breakthrough or Lopez's singles in the low post, the effect will become better.
