Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

With Zhuang Yu scoring consecutively and assisting Nance Jr. with a two-handed dunk, the Lakers narrowed the gap to only 4 points.

But then the Warriors scored a goal, from Durant's singles, facing Zhuang Yu's change of direction, and then he took a step forward and then pulled his body up, leaning back slightly. With his height and wingspan, he shot directly over Zhuang Yu's head and scored the ball.

The score difference became 6 points.

When the Lakers attacked, Zhuang Yu came to the frontcourt and asked his teammates for the ball, but the Warriors immediately double-teamed him, forcing him to pass the ball.

Just now, the Warriors missed Nance Jr. in order to limit Zhuang Yu's scoring, allowing Nance Jr. to easily score by dunking in the paint. But even if it meant missing other Lakers players and giving them opportunities, they were unwilling to let Zhuang Yu play.

Seeing the opponent double-teaming, Zhuang Yu quickly passed the ball to Anderson, who then passed it to Holiday. Holiday broke through, looking at Zhuang Yu, but passed the ball to Clarkson, who took the ball outside the three-point line and shot directly.

Swish!

This time it has.

In the next few rounds, the Warriors double-teamed Zhuang Yu, and Zhuang Yu used the opponent's double-team to attract defense, and then passed the ball to his teammates to create opportunities for them.

This was also Coach Scott's arrangement. During the timeout just now, he anticipated that the Warriors would most likely double-team Zhuang Yu after the timeout.

When the Warriors double-team Zhuang Yu, it means that other players on the Lakers will get opportunities.

Coach Scott's only concern is that the other Lakers players are not in good shape today.

But fortunately, judging from the past few rounds, the players' condition has improved and they have seized all the opportunities that should be seized.

After a few rounds, the difference between the two sides remained at 5 points.

This made Coach Kerr a little unhappy. He requested a substitution, replaced Iguodala, and returned to the small lineup.

As soon as Iguodala came on the court, he gave Curry an assist, and Curry made a three-pointer, and the score difference became 8 points.

Turn around.

Holiday pushed the ball to the frontcourt and immediately passed it to Zhuang Yu, but the Warriors still double-teamed him.

However, this time Zhuang Yu did not choose to pass the ball immediately, but accelerated immediately. He was very decisive and fast. Before Durant and Iguodala, who was responsible for defending Zhuang Yu, could form a double-team, he had already rushed past Iguodala.

"Back up the defense," Iguodala yelled.

However, the Warriors' five-small lineup was at a disadvantage in the interior at this time. There was only one Green. Seeing Zhuang Yu rushing over, he showed a ferocious expression, secretly became fierce, jumped up to meet Zhuang Yu, and waved his arms to hit Zhuang Yu on the head.

Snapped!

beep!

Thug, whistle blows.

This foul was extremely heavy-handed by Green, who knocked Zhuang Yu to the ground. The referee immediately blew the whistle, pointed at Green and gave him a foul.

But what really made Green depressed was that he hit the ball so hard that he directly pulled Zhuang Yu down. However, Zhuang Yu lost his balance in the air and threw the basketball with one hand. The basketball bounced twice on the basket and actually fell into the net.

"Shit." Green cursed in annoyance.

Not only did he fail to defend the ball, but he was also called for a foul. Zhuang Yu scored the ball and had to stand on the free throw line to take the extra free throw.

When Zhuang Yu stood on the free throw line and made the free throw steadily, the score difference became 5 points again.

“This 2+1 is really beautiful.”

"How many points did Zhuang Yu get? I remember it was almost 40 points, right?"

“已经40分了，这个2+1打成他的个人得分已经来到了40分。这才第3节而已，看来今天庄宇有希望拿个50+啊。”

"Wow, it's already 40 minutes? So fast!"

The fans in the audience exclaimed in amazement, amazed at Zhuang Yu's brilliant 2+1, and also amazed at Zhuang Yu's scoring efficiency today.

The third quarter wasn't even over yet, and he had already scored 40 points.

Several Warriors players looked at each other, feeling depressed. They had already used double-teaming to limit Zhuang Yu's scoring, but they didn't expect that Zhuang Yu would still score 40 points so quickly.

"Good defense." Curry shouted with a serious expression.

Several teammates nodded, their expressions very serious.

We can't let Zhuang Yu continue fighting like this.

Otherwise, even if the Warriors won today, it would be an unfair win, and people would definitely say that they beat the Lakers but lost to Zhuang Yu.

This is not what the Warriors players want to see. They want to beat the Lakers, but they cannot accept Zhuang Yu scoring 50 points.

After coming to the frontcourt, Curry called for a pick-and-roll, then stepped back and shot a three-pointer. His shot was very quick, but the ball did not go in.

Anderson of the Lakers team grabbed the rebound and started to counterattack. He immediately passed the ball to Zhuang Yu in the frontcourt. Zhuang Yu raised the ball outside the three-point line and pretended to shoot. Iguodala subconsciously jumped. However, Zhuang Yu did not choose to shoot, but accelerated past Iguodala. Several players of the Warriors team quickly retreated to the inside and crowded together to block Zhuang Yu.

"No way, have you become a frightened bird?"

Zhuang Yu smiled secretly, swung the ball to the left with one hand, and passed it to Holiday. Holiday received the ball and shot a three-pointer. With a slight sound, the ball went in.

Lakers bench.

A group of players all jumped up and cheered loudly, cheering for Holiday, and Coach Scott couldn't help but smile.

Zhuang Yu played very well today. He scored 40 points in just three quarters. But if we want to win this game, we can't rely on Zhuang Yu alone. Other players must also step up, such as Clarkson and Holiday...

The Warriors are in a difficult situation now.

They couldn't let Zhuang Yu continue to score, so they had to focus on restricting Zhuang Yu on defense, but if they did that they would miss out on other Lakers players.

In the first half, the Lakers players were not in good shape and failed to seize opportunities. However, Nance Jr., Clarkson and Holiday scored successively, which put the Warriors' defense into a passive situation.

Guard Zhuang Yu, and let other Lakers players score.

If we don't focus on restricting Zhuang Yu, he will score again.

......

In a blink of an eye, most of the third quarter has passed.

At this time, both sides began to replace their main players with rotation lineups.

The Warriors replaced Curry, Klay, and Green, but kept Durant on the court and let him play with the substitute players.

The Lakers also replaced Zhuang Yu and Anderson, leaving Holiday on the court and letting him play with the substitute players.

In the next few minutes, the Lakers fell into a disadvantage again because Durant's position was too unsolvable. When Zhuang Yu was not on the court, it was difficult for the Lakers' bench lineup to compete with Durant.

Under Durant's leadership, the Warriors widened the gap a little, but fortunately not too much. At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors led by 7 points.

"Fortunately, we are still leading by 7 points."

"There's only one quarter left, and the advantage is still on our side."

The Warriors had been leading before, but their fans were unhappy that they were not leading by enough points. Now the Warriors were still leading, but their attitude had changed dramatically. They were no longer unhappy about only leading by a few points, but were glad that they were still leading at this moment.

All this is because of Zhuang Yu.

He scored 40 points in three quarters, scoring like cutting melons and vegetables, which was simply unmatched and convinced all the Warriors fans.

......

Soon, the fourth quarter begins.

Both sides sent out their rotation lineups, but the Warriors only used Klay and Draymond Green.

The Lakers previously had the Big Three, and they would let the stars lead the team in rotation. But now without Lopez, they can’t maintain this state.

The Warriors still have the Big Three, and they can still keep one or even two All-Star players on the court during rotation time to ensure the team's competitiveness.

Of course, at this moment the Warriors' goal is naturally to seize the opportunity to widen the points gap and expand their lead to more than ten points.

With Klay and Green, the Warriors still had their offensive base, and they scored two goals in a row after entering the fourth quarter.

However, the Lakers quickly responded, with Rose scoring one and Clarkson also scoring one...

After a period of time, the score between the two sides remained tense, hovering within ten points.

Coach Kerr was not satisfied with the result. He glanced at the Lakers bench and quickly made a substitution, replacing Klay with Curry.

Coach Scott frowned when he saw the Warriors making substitutions. He hesitated for a moment and still did not replace Zhuang Yu.

As a result, just over a minute later, with Curry hitting two consecutive three-pointers, the gap between the two sides immediately widened to more than ten points.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Scott quickly called a timeout and looked at Zhuang Yu: "Zhuang, you'll be on the court later."

Then, he spread out the tactical board, looked at the players, and then drew the tactics and made arrangements.

After the tactics were arranged and the timeout was over, Coach Scott put away the tactical board and said, "There is less than one quarter left in the game. Play well and show your strength. Don't forget, we are the champions, understand?"

Everyone agreed.

......

Back on the field.

Lakers offense.

At this time, the Lakers' lineup was Rose, Clarkson, Zhuang Yu, Cunningham, An Kuzma, and Zubac.

Rose dribbled the ball and advanced, and when he reached the frontcourt he looked at Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu opened his hand to ask for the ball, but as soon as he got the ball, the Warriors immediately double-teamed him.

"Sure enough, it's still a double team..."

This was just a test by Zhuang Yu, to see if the opponent would still double-team him. He quickly passed the ball and started moving.

After several more passes, Zhuang Yu used the screen to get rid of the defense and returned to the three-point line. The ball was given to him and he shot immediately after receiving it.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"Wow..."

There was an uproar in the audience.

Zhuang Yu scored again, another three-pointer, and scored two more points.

He won’t really get 50+, right?
