Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Los Angeles.

Today is the day of the third game of the series between the Lakers and the Spurs. Many Lakers fans arrived outside the Staples Center early, waiting to enter.

It was not dark yet, but there were already crowds of people outside the stadium.

Some were browsing the fan shop, while others were gathered together chatting.

"The score has become 1:1. I'm afraid it will be difficult to beat them. The Spurs are very strong."

"We should believe in the Lakers and Zhuang Yu. He will definitely lead the team to victory. He has never disappointed anyone."

"Well, the Lakers must win!"

This is Los Angeles, and almost all those who came so early are Lakers fans, and they all support the Lakers unconditionally.

At the same time, the Lakers players have arrived at the stadium and started making pre-game preparations.

"coach."

"coach."

Coach Scott walked into the locker room and the Lakers players shouted.

Coach Scott nodded, his eyes swept across the players' faces. He didn't see any fear in their eyes. He nodded with satisfaction and reminded them again: "Remember, play according to our pre-arrangement. You must run. No matter what the score is, you must run. As long as you run, we will win half the battle."

"Yes."

"clear."

Everyone responded in unison.

After Coach Scott left, a group of players gathered together, and Yang asked quietly, "Is what the coach said really feasible?"

Without waiting for others to speak, Zhuang Yu said, "Don't worry, what the coach said will definitely work. Remember, run."

When Zhuang Yu spoke, everyone else laughed and agreed in unison. No one had any more questions. Since the coach and Zhuang Yu had said so, there was nothing to worry about.

......

The competition officially started at seven o'clock in the evening.

Players from both teams have already come to the court, and the stands are full of people, including not only ordinary fans but also many celebrities, including Kobe.

Yes, Kobe is here again.

Kobe came to support the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, and now he is here again in the second round.

A group of players walked onto the court, and there were no changes in the starting lineups for both teams.

First there was a jump ball, the Lakers got the ball, Deron dribbled forward to the frontcourt and passed it to Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu was not in a hurry to attack with the ball and glanced at the Spurs players.

“It’s still the same defensive matchup.”

Zhuang Yu made a gesture, Lopez came up to screen, Zhuang Yu moved to the left, and Gasol immediately stepped forward to delay. Zhuang Yu broke through and passed the ball to Anderson, and then he ran and pulled away. Lopez asked for the ball in the low post on the right side, and when Anderson passed the ball to him, he tried to play a single, and the Spurs immediately sent someone to help defend.

"Sure enough, just like in the second game, the opponent still wants to restrict Lopez." Zhuang Yu said to himself and gestured to his teammates.

The next moment, Lopez passed the ball back to Anderson, and Zhuang Yu quickly moved along the baseline, set a screen, and came outside the three-point line to receive the ball.

Anderson passed the ball to Zhuang Yu, who shot as soon as he received it.

Swish!

The ball was scored and the score was 3:0.

......

The Spurs attack.

Surprisingly, the first shot was not taken by Leonard or Aldridge, but by Parker. He broke through with the help of a pick-and-roll, took a step forward and made a quick stop jump shot.

In the next two rounds, the Spurs' offense was not directly aimed at Leonard and Aldridge. Of course, the ball was still given to the two of them, but after getting the ball, they did not play one-on-one directly. Instead, they attracted the defense and then passed the ball to create opportunities for their teammates.

After several rounds, Parker and Gasol scored successively, but Leonard and Aldridge did not take many shots.

"It seems that Coach Popovich feels that he cannot rely too much on Leonard and Aldridge, and wants to let other players find their feeling first." Assistant coach Madsen narrowed his eyes.

"Hehe..." Coach Scott smiled coldly.

This did not surprise them. The Spurs played very well in the last game, so the defense will not change much. If the defense remains unchanged, then the offense will definitely change. It is not difficult to guess that it will definitely be to bring out the energy of role players.

In the previous two games, the Spurs' offense mainly relied on Leonard and Aldridge. In both games, only Leonard and Aldridge scored 20+ points. The others did not score much and their scores were relatively scattered.

The Spurs' defense is certainly impeccable, but Popovich feels that the offense is not enough. Parker, Danny Green, Gasol, and several substitute players should all perform more on the offensive end. The team's offense needs to play better, which will make it easier to beat the Lakers.

Coach Scott had anticipated this, but he didn't care. The first thing they had to solve was not defense, but offense.

......

on the field.

With a bang, Parker's shot missed. After all, he is no longer the "French sports car" he used to be. His speed has slowed down and his shooting is not as accurate as before.

Anderson grabbed the rebound and launched a quick counterattack.

Several Lakers players rushed to the frontcourt together. Anderson dribbled the ball only two steps before passing it to Deron. Deron didn't dribble the ball for long and immediately passed it to Zhuang Yu.

For a moment, all the Spurs players looked at Zhuang Yu.

The Spurs retreated quickly, and two players were already blocking Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu did not stop and rushed to the basket fiercely. The Spurs players rushed to him and surrounded Zhuang Yu. But Zhuang Yu did not make a layup, but threw the ball to the three-point line with one hand.

Gerald Green stood outside the three-point line and took a three-point shot after receiving the pass from Zhuang Yu.

boom!

There was a muffled sound and nothing came in.

"Pity."

"The ball was completely open, but it was a pity that I couldn't make the shot."

"Zhuang can actually play by himself..."

The home fans were somewhat annoyed.

However, the Lakers players were not discouraged at all and quickly turned around and retreated.

The Spurs rushed forward, Parker broke through and passed the ball to Leonard, Leonard broke through, took two steps forward and actively sought confrontation, and then shot.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

However, before the Spurs players had time to cheer, the Lakers had already launched an attack. Zhuang Yu ran straight to the frontcourt. Anderson took a free throw at the baseline and swung the ball directly to the frontcourt with one hand. Zhuang Yu reached out and grabbed the basketball, then ran straight to the basket.

"not good."

"Stop him quickly."

On the Spurs bench, a group of players shouted.

The Spurs players on the field also reacted and rushed towards Zhuang Yu together. However, this time Zhuang Yu did not choose to pass the ball, but decisively attacked the basket.

"beep!"

"Shh!"

The whistle blows and the ball goes in.

The referee blew the whistle and gave Parker a foul. Zhuang Yu scored the ball and had to serve again.

When Zhuang Yu stood on the free throw line and made the free throw, old man Popovich frowned, not because of the 2+1, but because of the Lakers' offense.

Their attack is too fast!
