Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

The pause ends.

Back on the court, the Warriors attacked.

After Curry came to the frontcourt, he was still facing Zhuang Yu. He frowned and called a pick-and-roll to try to get rid of him. If he could get rid of Zhuang Yu, he could play one-on-one. But he failed. Zhuang Yu was well prepared and very fast, bypassing the pick-and-roll in advance.

Curry had no choice but to pass the ball to Green, and gestured to Green, indicating that Green should pass the ball to Durant and let Durant play.

This is the safest way.

If Curry can get away from the defense with the help of a pick-and-roll, then he can play on his own.

If Curry is unable to get rid of the ball, he will pass it to Green, who will then pass it to Durant. With Durant's individual singles ability, he can play singles by himself, and he can also create opportunities for his teammates after attracting defense.

The Warriors have used this style of play many times in past games. It is not a secret, but the effect is very good.

After all, Durant's personal ability is there, and there are also Curry and Klay, two sharpshooters with super off-ball abilities.

When the ball was given to Green, Anderson, who was standing in front of Green, suddenly took a step back.

Green was a little confused, and then he heard Anderson say, "I'll let you shoot a three-pointer. Come on, let me see if you dare to shoot. I'll stand right here."

Hearing this, Green felt a surge of anger in his heart, while Durant moved over here, ready to pass the ball.

At this time, Anderson spoke again: "You said Durant is a wimp, I think you are the wimp, just give the ball to Durant. He is the MVP, if he is not the one who can get the championship ring, how can you be worthy of it?"

If Anderson's words just now only made Green angry, then this sentence directly made Green blush.

During the first game of the Western Conference Finals, Green and Durant had an internal conflict. Green even called Durant a wimp on the spot, saying that he was useless in giving him opportunities and that he didn't dare to attack the basket... Later, he said on social media, "We were champions before you came," which was a crazy implication for Durant.

After that, the two seemed to reconcile quickly, and there was no sign of anything wrong between them in the next few games.

But can this matter really be just laughed off?

of course not.

But at this time in the Western Conference Finals, everyone buried their emotions deep in their hearts.

At this moment, Anderson's crazy teasing suddenly brought up the unpleasantness with Durant...

There were rumors that Green and Durant had a fight in the locker room. There was no fight, but there was pushing and swearing at each other.

Green's curses were so ugly, and he kept calling his mother loudly.

As we all know, without his mother's cultivation, there would be no Durant today. Green dared to insult his mother, and Durant was so angry that if his teammates hadn't tried to stop him, he would have rushed up and torn Green's stinky mouth apart.

Later, with the mediation of Coach Kerr and teammates, the two temporarily put aside their personal grudges, but it was only temporary.

How can it be so easy to get through?

Green's face looked extremely ugly, and at this moment, Durant ran over. He was also very annoyed, and cursed Green in his heart for being brainless. If you are brainless, at least you have some sense. Don't you know your own weight? Why are you fighting blindly?

Immediately, Durant shouted at Green in an annoyed and unhappy tone: "Are you deaf? Give me the damn basketball."

Anderson was delighted when he heard this: "Oh, it's done."

Sure enough, Green, who was already in a red-hot state, couldn't stand Durant's tone, and didn't pass the ball to Durant, but chose to rush on his own.

The next moment, the Lakers tightened their defense.

As if everything was rehearsed in advance, the Lakers tightened their defense, and Green plunged into the encirclement and fell into the crowd.

"not good."

“Impulsive!”

People exclaimed, and the home fans stomped their feet in anger.

At this time, Green also reacted and knew that he was in trouble. He was not Durant or Curry, and it was almost impossible for him to score the ball in this situation. After calming down, he was afraid. He regretted it, so he subconsciously wanted to pass the ball.

Just pass the ball.

Snapped!

But the next moment, the ball was cut off.

A figure rushed out quickly. It was Zhuang Yu. He predicted Green's intention in advance and cut off Green's pass with his speed.

"Oops."

"The ball was stolen. Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and chase it."

For a moment, the audience was in an uproar.

The home fans were shocked and angry, and shouted loudly on the court, reminding the Warriors players to chase quickly and not let the Lakers make a fast break.

Curry and others also reacted. Without even bothering to scold Green, they turned around and chased after him. However, Zhuang Yu was so fast that he left them behind in just a few steps. He rushed to the frontcourt and dunked the ball into the basket.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Kerr called a timeout with a gloomy face.

Now the score between the two sides became 117:116, and the Lakers overtook by one point.

Several players walked to the sidelines, and the fans in the audience were already drooping their feet and chests, cursing angrily: "Fuck, is Green's brain broken? He didn't give this crucial ball to KD or Curry, but actually took it himself. Who does he think he is?"

"KD had already gone over to get the ball. He could have just passed it to KD, but he had to do it himself. What a moron."

"If this ball was given to KD, he would have probably scored it. A two-pointer would have kept him invincible. But now, they have overtaken him by one point. Maybe he will lose because of this one point."

"Silly Green..."

The home fans were all cursing Green, while the Lakers fans were overjoyed and praised Green for being very smart and doing a great job.

......

Zhuang Yu and others came to the sidelines.

His teammates stood up and high-fived him.

Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement, and Coach Scott gave Zhuang Yu a big hug: "Well done."

So far, Zhuang Yu's plan was considered successful.

In less than two minutes, the Warriors' offense was not ended by Curry or Durant, but by Green. This is the Lakers' success.

Although Green also scored a goal, he also lost one and made a turnover. If Curry and Durant were to play, it would definitely not be like this.

Of course, the Lakers were able to overtake by one point thanks to Zhuang Yu's stable scoring. He scored several goals in a row, including two three-pointers.

Otherwise, the Lakers would still be behind.

On the other side, Coach Kerr stared at Green fiercely and was so angry that he didn't even bother to scold Green.

"Fake."

Coach Kerr cursed, forced himself to calm down, and spread out the tactical board: "There are still dozens of seconds left, we still have a chance, play this offense well..."

After some arrangements, Coach Kerr put away the tactical board, but still felt uneasy and reminded Green again: "Don't go get the ball."

What can Green say?

He dared not say anything.

......

Both sides returned to the court with only 30 seconds left in the game.

Curry took the ball in the backcourt and pushed forward. After reaching the frontcourt, he was not in a hurry to play. The score difference was one point and they still had time, so they had to score this goal.

However, the Lakers also changed their defensive strategy at this time, and the lineup on the field became Holiday, Zhuang Yu, Cunningham, Anderson, and Zubac.

This is a defensive formation, and Zhuang Yu did not defend Curry, but defended Durant, Holiday defended Curry, and Cunningham defended Klay.

"Pick and roll."

Curry called a pick-and-roll, Zubac quickly stepped forward to delay, and Curry lowered his center of gravity to break through.

The Lakers tightened their defense, and Curry did not choose to force a layup. Instead, he passed the ball to Durant.

At the same time, Klay cut to the basket and Curry moved to the outside.

At this time, Durant can hold the ball and play one-on-one, or pass the ball to Klay who is cutting, or pass it to Curry who is moving outside the three-point line. There are many changes. But the Lakers' defense is also watertight, switching defense immediately, not missing Curry, and not leaving Klay open.

Seeing this, Durant played alone.

He first dribbled the ball between his legs, lowered his left shoulder, and pretended to break through to the left. Then he changed direction in front of his body with a very large amplitude, switched the ball to his right hand, took a step forward, and then pulled up directly to shoot towards Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu had anticipated this and judged Durant's intention in advance, and jumped up first. Before Durant reached the highest point of the shot, Zhuang Yu's hand had already reached out.

Durant's heart trembled, and he subconsciously speeded up his shooting.

laugh!

There was a slight sound, and Zhuang Yu smiled.

Durant had no idea how many shots he had on him in this series, and each time he relied on his height and long arms to make him helpless.

Only this time, he finally touched the basketball.

Even though it's just a little bit, it's enough.

"It happened."

Durant's face changed, and he thought to himself that something was wrong. After landing, he immediately shouted, "Rebound."

Sure enough, with a bang, the basketball bounced out of the hoop. Zubac was in a good position. He reached out to grab the rebound and immediately passed it to Zhuang Yu.

The Warriors could only foul.

Because there were only a dozen seconds left, they couldn't let the Lakers run out of time, so they could only foul and send Zhuang Yu to the free throw line.

When Zhuang Yu stepped onto the free throw line and made both free throws, the score became 119:116.

The Lakers lead by 3 points.

There were only 13 seconds left and the Warriors had no more timeouts. They could only shoot free throws in the backcourt and quickly advance to the frontcourt to grab a three-pointer.

However, the Lakers launched a full-court press, with every player playing close defense, and would rather let the opponent get a two-pointer than give them a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

The Warriors chose to get two points first, and Curry made a layup, and the score became 119:118 with 5 seconds left in the game.

The Warriors fouled again, sending Zhuang Yu to the free throw line, betting on Zhuang Yu's free throws.

If Zhuang Yu only made one of the two free throws, they would only need to make one more two-pointer to drag the game into overtime.

If he could make a three-pointer, he could directly defeat the Lakers.

It would have been even better if Zhuang Yu missed both free throws, as he would have only needed a two-point shot to defeat the Lakers.

What made the Warriors depressed was that Zhuang Yu made both free throws this time, and the score became 121:118, and the Lakers still led by three points.

This means that the Warriors must make a three-pointer to drag the game into overtime.

It is obvious that the Lakers will not let the Warriors shoot three-pointers comfortably. When the free throws are over and the Warriors attack, the Lakers will defend closely.

What's more troublesome is that there is not enough time.

With only 5 seconds in total, the Warriors needed to advance the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt and also grab a three-pointer, which was too difficult.

When Curry came to the frontcourt, there were only two seconds left. He did not have enough time to get rid of Holiday's defense and could only force a shot against Holiday.

boom!

There was a muffled sound, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

The game is over!
