Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

When he arrived at the frontcourt, Holiday immediately passed the ball to Zhuang Yu.

Seeing this situation, the fans in the audience became excited, knowing that Zhuang Yu wanted to fight back. Many fans immediately stood up and shouted loudly towards the field, cheering for Zhuang Yu.

On the Cavaliers' side, several players stared at Zhuang Yu and sneered in their hearts, "Do you think we don't exist?"

Several Cavaliers players all stared at Zhuang Yu, and this time the person who pounced on Zhuang Yu was James.

In these final few minutes, James was bound to dominate the game, both on offense and defense, so he took the initiative to step forward, not only exerting his strength on offense, but also taking the initiative to defend Zhuang Yu on defense. The two superstars faced off face to face.

Seeing James coming forward and the other players of the Cavaliers all staring at him, Zhuang Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes, but did not hesitate.

He first made a fake shot, but James was unmoved, and Zhuang Yu didn't care either. He broke through and accelerated to the right. James quickly retreated and moved sideways to block the position, but Zhuang Yu immediately dribbled from behind, switched the ball to his left hand, and broke through from the left side.

Seeing this situation, James quickly adjusted his body center of gravity, and several players of the Cavaliers quickly retreated their defense line.

TT took a step forward, bent down, stared at Zhuang Yu, and was ready to block Zhuang Yu as soon as he rushed in.

However, Zhuang Yu did not really break through.

What a joke, now it's like I'm one against five. As long as I break through, the opponents will definitely rush into the inside. Wouldn't that be a fool?

He suddenly stopped and raised his center of gravity. James' heart skipped a beat and he jumped up immediately. When he jumped up he realized that he had been fooled.

"Damn it."

"Wow, it was actually a fake move."

People exclaimed, and no one expected that Zhuang Yu would do a Buddha worship gesture after dribbling the ball behind his back. Even James was fooled.

When James was fooled, Zhuang Yu quickly changed direction again, moved his body sideways, and increased the distance between himself and James. He did not go inside, but directly jumped and shot.

Swish!

Go in again.

The home fans cheered excitedly.

Several teammates also ran over and high-fived Zhuang Yu to celebrate. It was another answerball, and it was scored facing James. It was a pity that it was not a three-pointer, but a long two-pointer.

Now the pressure is on James.

When James got the ball, the Lakers immediately double-teamed him.

This is a bit unfair to James. They didn't dare to double-team Zhuang Yu easily, but the Lakers dared to double-team him directly. Obviously, it would be more difficult for him to score than Zhuang Yu. After all, James is not an outside shooter. He rarely shoots directly after receiving the ball.

However, as one of the top players in the league, he is naturally not afraid of double-teaming.

When the Lakers double-teamed him, he immediately passed the ball, then started running and went to the low post on the right side to ask for the ball.

When his teammate passed the ball to him, James started to play one-on-one against Zhuang Yu.

At this time, Lopez of the Lakers could only rush forward to help Zhuang Yu defend. If it came to defending James head-on, Zhuang Yu might be able to do it, but in this kind of low-post back-to-the-basket single play, the tonnage gap between the two sides was too big, and Zhuang Yu had no way to defend at all.

However, as soon as Lopez stepped forward, James made a behind-the-back pass, which was very concealed. The basketball bounced off the floor, just passed by Lopez's feet, and was handed to TT behind him. TT grabbed the basketball and dunked it.

This is how James breaks through double-teams. He passes the ball very well and has a high basketball IQ.

Most people, when facing a double-team, would just pass the ball to a teammate who has space, but James would take advantage of the opponent's double-team to actively find a position to receive the ball, then attract the opponent to double-team, thus tying down the opponent's defense and allowing players on both sides to create the best scoring opportunities.

For example, in the previous ball, when James was double-teamed for the first time, his teammates did not have any direct chance to score.

So after he passed the ball, he came to the right side to receive the ball again. At this time, the player had been brought to the right side, and JR Smith and Hill were outside the three-point line on the other side. The space was large enough and there was a huge gap in the interior.

Moreover, if James receives the ball at this position, he is already very close to the basket, and the Lakers cannot afford to hesitate at all.

Lopez had to pounce, but at that time there was a lot of space in the interior, and as soon as he pounced, he would miss everyone.

James passes the ball and TT can score directly.

"sharp."

Zhuang Yu couldn't help but admire in his heart.

James is indeed amazing, not only in his personal ability and beautiful passing, but also in his ability to read the defense, understand the game, and control the situation on the court. This top-level basketball IQ crushes most players in the league.

Even Zhuang Yu felt that he had learned something new.

It turns out that there is a way to break through double-teaming.

Although James did not score the goal himself, he also had half the credit for assisting TT to score, so it can be considered as paying back a favor.

For a period of time afterwards, Zhuang Yu directly turned on the "scoring mode", constantly playing one-on-one, but not directly facing James' defense.

That is not a good choice. He will also use his teammates' screen to get rid of it, or use his teammates' screen to shake off the defender when he has no ball, return to the three-point line to receive the ball, and use the three-pointer, which he is best at and most confident in, to score.

In addition to scoring on the offensive end, James was also actively defending, grabbing rebounds, and providing assists to his teammates. He almost single-handedly led the entire Cavaliers team.

After a period of time, the gap between the two sides remained tense.

"Requesting a timeout."

The Cavaliers called a timeout.

After several players came off the court, coach Tyronn Lue made a substitution, replacing TT with JR Smith. James is in very good shape now and he can dominate the game, but facing the Lakers' double-team, he needs more shooters around him.

One star shines.

This is James' favorite configuration.

"Kevin (Love)." Tyronn Lue looked at Love, "Now that TT is not on the court, the task of defending Lopez falls on you."

Love nodded heavily and said nothing, but his resolute expression showed his attitude. Although he is a No. 4 player who mainly focuses on scoring, he is not incapable of playing the No. 5 position.

Coach Tyronn Lue looked at Hill, Rose, and J.R. Smith and said, "Give the ball to LeBron. You are responsible for pulling the opponent away. If you have the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer, you must shoot it resolutely."

The three of them agreed.

They all knew this. In the previous three rounds of games, they played many key games like this. They gave the ball to James at critical moments and let the others move away.

At the same time, the Lakers also made a substitution, replacing Clarkson with Korver.

At this moment, the Lakers are actually similar to the Cavaliers, and Coach Scott's intention is to give the ball to Zhuang Yu and let Zhuang Yu play.

Clarkson mainly attacks with the ball on the offensive end.

Now that the ball has to be given to Zhuang Yu, Clarkson basically has no chance to attack with the ball, and there is not much point in staying on the court.

Korver, on the other hand, is a three-point shooter, so he only needs to look for opportunities by running, or wait outside the three-point line and shoot immediately after receiving the ball.

He doesn't need the ball, so it's more appropriate to send him on at this time.

......

The pause ended quickly.

Players from both teams returned to the court and the Cavaliers attacked.

When he got to the frontcourt, he still gave the ball to James first. After James got the ball, he was double-teamed and passed the ball to Rose. After getting the ball, Rose broke through and passed the ball to Love. Love did not shoot and passed the ball to JR Smith.

Swish!

JR Smith made a three-pointer.

Turning around, the Lakers played a tactical match. Holiday went to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu made a pick-and-roll with Lopez, then broke through to attract the defense and passed the ball to Korver. Korver took a three-pointer, but failed to hit it.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers did not have a real center on the court at that time, and Lopez had an advantage in the interior. He grabbed the frontcourt rebound and was pulled down just as he was about to tip in the ball.

"beep......"

The referee blew the whistle, called a defensive foul, and signaled Lopez to stand on the free throw line, but Lopez only made one of the two free throws.

As the playing time gets shorter, the intensity of the game becomes greater, with more physical confrontations, more defensive moves, and more fouls.

On the sidelines, coach Tyronn Lue couldn't help but frown.

At this time they were still leading by three points, but they had not been able to score in the previous few rounds. It was not that there were no opportunities. When the Lakers double-teamed James, James was always able to pass the ball. However, his teammates' shooting touch declined due to the fierce confrontation at this time, and under tremendous psychological pressure, their offensive efficiency dropped sharply and they failed to score several goals.

Fortunately, the Lakers are in a similar situation.

Korver's three-pointer was missed, Holiday's breakthrough was directly pulled down by the opponent, and Anderson's empty cut was also unable to score...

When it came to the last three minutes, the offense of both sides seemed to have come to a standstill.

At this time, James stood up. He first grabbed the backcourt rebound, and then quickly advanced himself, like a Mercedes-Benz truck, rushing to the frontcourt and heading straight for the basket.

Zhuang Yu and Holiday had already checked out and returned to their own half. Holiday reached out to pull James down, but ended up letting James make a 2+1.

Turning around, Zhuang Yu broke through and passed the ball to Korver, who took another three-pointer but still failed to make it.

Fortunately, Anderson grabbed the rebound and passed the ball back to Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu made a gesture to his teammates and decided not to pass the ball again.

Lopez comes up for screen and roll.

Zhuang Yu moved to the right, and Love from the Cavaliers team quickly stepped forward to delay him. Zhuang Yu paused for a moment, bowed, and then accelerated again and headed straight for the basket.

James had already rushed over, but he was still a step too slow.

Zhuang Yu scored a low layup.

......

Immediately afterwards, James ran back, got the ball, and actually shot a three-pointer.

Zhuang Yu had caught up and jumped up, but there was a height difference between the two of them, so he was unable to block the shot.

The basketball drew an arc and finally went through the net.
