Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, the basketball penetrated the net.

This was another empty shot. Everyone could see that Gobert had tried his best to block it, but still failed.

There was a burst of warm cheers from the audience.

People sighed: "This fadeaway jump shot is so unsolvable. It is impossible to block it, even for someone taller than Zhuang Yu."

"Gobert has won the Defensive Player of the Year award, but facing a fadeaway jumper like this, anyone would feel powerless, right?"

"Yeah, it's so confusing."

Various exclamations came one after another, and people were all amazed.

Many people can do a fade away, but to be able to do it to this extent and with a very high hit rate is something that not everyone can do.

Is it difficult to lean back?

In fact, it is not difficult to just do a fade-away, but to do it properly in actual combat and achieve the real tactical purpose, and to ensure a high enough hit rate, is an extremely difficult thing, even for NBA players, not everyone can do it, especially in a fierce game.

This is also the reason why many NBA players don’t really use fadeaway jump shots. It’s not difficult to learn, but it’s difficult to practice to a high level.

Of course, once this skill is practiced to an extremely high level, the destructive power will be extremely terrifying and unstoppable.

"hehe......"

On the sidelines, assistant coach Madsen smiled and said to coach Scott, "Zhuang Yu played these two shots beautifully. But seriously, what's wrong with Zhuang Yu recently? He seems to be particularly fond of fadeaway jump shots."

Coach Scott nodded. "Yeah, Zhuang Yu also shot a lot of fadeaway jumpers in the last game. I don't understand why. But to be honest, his fadeaway jumpers now might be comparable to Kobe's. That's what I think."

As they spoke, both of them burst into laughter.

No matter why, as long as I get in, it’s fine.

......

In the next few rounds, the Lakers firmly gained the upper hand.

Zhuang Yu made two more shots, one was a mid-range shot after a breakthrough, and the other was a three-pointer from outside, and he made a three-pointer.

On the Jazz side, Mitchell was targeted by the Lakers' defense and his offensive efficiency dropped. Fortunately, his teammates were still in good form, but Zhuang Yu was too unstoppable and they were still at a disadvantage.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Snyder called a timeout.

When the players came off the court, he began to make substitutions, replacing Rubio and Favors with Thabo Sefolosha and Jae Crowder.

At the same time, the Lakers also made substitutions. Coach Scott replaced Korver and Lopez with Cunningham and Nance Jr.

After this substitution, the Jazz strengthened their inside offense, and several players were consciously passing the ball to the basket. After all, at this time, it was Nance Jr. who was facing Gobert under the basket, and there was a big difference in height between the two. As long as the ball could be passed to Gobert and he was close enough to the basket, there was still a good chance of scoring.

It's just that Mitchell failed to score consecutively like he did at the beginning of this quarter, so the Jazz's scoring became more scattered, with hits here and there.

Although the Lakers do not have Lopez in the interior, Zhuang Yu is too strong and the Jazz are helpless.

After a while, most of the first quarter had passed.

At this time, the Lakers made another substitution, replacing Zhuang Yu and Anderson with Clarkson and Rose.

At this time, the Lakers changed into a lineup of one big and four small players, relying naturally not on defense but on offense.

Fortunately, Clarkson and Rose were in good shape today. Both performed well on the offensive end, helping the Lakers to always have the upper hand.

Of course, this is also related to the Jazz's rotation lineup not being strong enough.

The Jazz are not only inferior to the Lakers in starting lineup, but also in rotation lineup.

There are no particularly outstanding players on their bench. Among the substitute players, the one with the highest average points per game is Jae Crowder. However, even Jae Crowder only averages 11.9 points per game this season, which is not as good as Rose, Clarkson, or even Kuzma's average points per game.

......

Soon, the first section ended.

At this time the score was 34:26, with the Lakers leading by 8 points.

Entering the second quarter, both teams still used rotation lineups, but the Jazz sent Rubio up. He played very badly against Zhuang Yu in the first quarter. Now without Zhuang Yu on the court, Coach Snyder felt that Rubio should be able to perform.

The Lakers sent out Rose, Clarkson, Kuzma, Nance Jr. and Zubac.

Neither Zubac nor Kuzma played in the first quarter. It's not that there was anything wrong with their performance. Their performance this season is still good. It's just that the Lakers' bench lineup is too good, and there are too many capable substitutes, so there are always times when they don't get a turn.

In the next few minutes, the Lakers still had the upper hand.

Although Rubio of the Jazz played well, scoring and assisting, their overall lineup was still a little worse than that of the Lakers.

Even in terms of offense alone, the Jazz's rotation lineup is not as good as the Lakers.

Rose, Clarkson, Kuzma and Zubac can all score, and only Nance can rely on catching rebounds. There are many scoring points, making it difficult for the Jazz to defend.

What's more, even if Kuzma, Zubac and Nance Jr. cannot score, Rose and Clarkson are enough to give the Jazz a hard time.

Rose is the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history. He played well with the Cavaliers last season and he is still playing well with the Lakers this season, averaging 16.0 points, 4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, which are better than Rubio's statistics.

Clarkson has even won the "Best Sixth Man" award, but because the Lakers have three core players, there is always a core player on the court during rotation time. In addition, the Lakers' bench lineup has many scoring points, which to a certain extent limits Clarkson's data.

This season, Clarkson averaged 17.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, which is also pretty good.

In fact, the reason why Rose and Clarkson can achieve such statistics is partly because Lopez was sidelined for three months due to injury.

Otherwise, in a strong team like the Lakers, with three All-Star players, including Zhuang Yu, Holiday and Lopez, it would be difficult for substitutes like Rose and Clarkson to achieve high stats.

Therefore, the data of Rose and Clarkson are not equivalent to their true strength, but even if we only look at the data, they are not inferior to anyone on the Jazz except Mitchell. As for the Jazz's substitutes, there is no way to compare with them.
