Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

The pause ends.

Both sides returned to the field.

The Lakers replaced Cunningham, and the Warriors also replaced Cousins ​​with Iguodala.

The reason why Iguodala was substituted in, and a five-small lineup was used instead of Rooney, was because Curry, Klay, and Durant played very well on the offensive end of the Warriors in the past few minutes. In this case, what they need is offensive space and speed of transition, rather than a big man standing in the paint and fighting for rebounds.

When the game is more of a half-court positional battle, fighting for frontcourt rebounds becomes very important, but when the game is more of an offense-defense transition, many times they just play and leave, and the main focus on rebounds is defensive rebounds rather than offensive rebounds.

Lakers possession of the ball.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Holiday first called a pick-and-roll, waited for his teammates to come up and screen him to move to the left, and then passed the ball back to Lopez. Lopez passed the ball to Zhuang Yu and set a screen for Zhuang Yu, blocking Klay.

At this time, Green hurried forward to delay, standing in front of Zhuang Yu, with one hand raised high to guard against Zhuang Yu's three-pointer.

Seeing Green rushing forward, Zhuang Yu smiled slightly, suddenly changed direction forward, burst out at high speed, and passed Green in one step.

The Warriors quickly tightened their defense and tried to encircle Zhuang Yu.

However, Zhuang Yu was too fast.

After passing Green, he hugged the basketball, took a step forward and jumped, his body gliding in the air, switched the ball to his left hand, and made a light layup.

"Don't let him break through easily."

"Reinforce the defense, reinforce the defense faster..."

The home fans roared loudly towards the field.

In fact, the Warriors players knew what to do without them being reminded.

In the next round, when Zhuang Yu got the ball again and used the pick-and-roll to switch defense, the Warriors retreated their defense in advance. Green rushed forward to delay, while Durant, Iguodala and others moved closer to the basket.

When Zhuang Yu passed Green, Durant was already standing in front.

This time, Zhuang Yu did not force a shot, but passed the ball to Holiday, who took a three-pointer as soon as he received the ball.

boom!

There was a muffled sound.

The ball didn't go in, and the basketball bounced out of the rim. However, Lopez relied on his height and long arms to get a good position under the basket and grab the frontcourt rebound.

At this time, the Warriors had tightened their defense and there were more people in the interior. After grabbing the frontcourt rebound, Lopez did not go directly up, but threw the ball out and passed it to Anderson, who immediately pushed it with both hands.

At this time, the Warriors' defense was already a little panicked. Seeing Anderson pass the ball, they subconsciously turned their heads and saw that Zhuang Yu had come to the right corner three-point line at some point, and there was no one within two meters in front of him.

"Oops."

"Hurry up and rush over..."

People shouted, but it was too late.

Before anyone from the Warriors could rush over, Zhuang Yu had already jumped up, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc and accurately penetrated the net.

Just a short while after the break, Zhuang Yu had already scored two goals and got 5 points.

This made Coach Kerr frown. He gestured towards the court, indicating that they should pay attention to Zhuang Yu and strengthen the defense against him.

......

Coming to the frontcourt, Durant ran back to get the ball, and then played one-on-one.

The person facing Durant at this time was not Zhuang Yu, but Cunningham. In the previous few minutes, the person facing Durant was Zhuang Yu, but Durant's condition was so good today that even Zhuang Yu's defense against him was not very effective.

So Coach Scott simply let Cunningham defend Durant, freeing Zhuang Yu from the defensive end and allowing him to focus more on offense.

Just now, Zhuang Yu scored two goals in a row, so the Warriors naturally had to fight back.

In the past few games, Durant was the one who confronted Zhuang Yu.

The two of them fought each other a lot during the game. If you make a move, I will also make a move back. No one is willing to fall into a disadvantage.

So when Durant saw Zhuang Yu score two goals in a row, he naturally had to step up and fight back.

He first lifted the ball, stepped forward with his right foot, pushed Cunningham with his body to expand the space, then lowered his center of gravity, and the basketball made a big loop along the floor and suddenly accelerated to break through.

Cunningham immediately retreated and moved sideways, trying to get into position first.

Although he failed to completely block Durant's breakthrough route, Cunningham was not thrown off. However, Durant took two steps and jumped up next to Cunningham.

"So you're going to vote now?"

Cunningham was startled and quickly jumped up with his arms raised high, but Durant's body leaned back in the air and made a drifting backward shot.

This kind of ball is totally unreasonable.

Cunningham had no choice but to pray that Durant would not make the shot, but then there was a slight sound and the ball went in.

This is Durant's strength.

Turning around, Zhuang Yu took the ball again.

At this time, the Warriors further strengthened their defense against him. Several players all stared at Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu first called for a pick-and-roll, and then broke through. He was not fast and was not in a hurry to attack the basket. Instead, he waited for the Warriors to shrink their defense. Then he raised the ball and pretended to shoot, but actually passed the ball to Holiday who was outside the three-point line on the left.

Holiday received the ball, adjusted slightly, and then took a three-pointer.

Swish!

This time there is.

"Haha..." Coach Scott couldn't help but smile while standing on the sidelines.

Although this goal was not scored by Zhuang Yu, half of the credit goes to Zhuang Yu, and Zhuang Yu played this ball very soberly. He did not choose to work alone just because he had scored two goals in a row. Instead, he passed the ball in time to Holiday who was in a better position.

In the next few rounds, Zhuang Yu played very aggressively on the offensive end, but he did not just shoot himself. He would shoot when he had the chance and pass the ball when he didn't.

Moreover, Zhuang Yu is always able to pass the ball to the teammate in the best position at the first possible moment, and often the teammate only needs to shoot the ball.

In this respect, Zhuang Yu is better than Durant.

There is no need to say much about Durant's personal scoring ability, but in terms of passing, he is still a little worse than Zhuang Yu.

......

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

The Warriors were leading a few minutes ago, but during this period the Lakers took the upper hand under the leadership of Zhuang Yu, and the score returned to the same starting line.

18: 18.

The Warriors called a timeout and began to gradually replace their main players.

The Lakers also made rotations.

However, neither side replaced all of their starting players. The Warriors kept Curry on the court, while the Lakers kept Lopez on the court.

The game continues...
