Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

After arriving at the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu ran back and took the initiative to run towards Deron's position.

The two exchanged glances, Deron passed the ball to each other, and moved sideways to provide a screen for Zhuang Yu, blocking the pursuing Thompson.

"Switch defense." Thompson shouted.

He had been blocked by Deron and could not catch up with Zhuang Yu for a while. However, with Zhuang Yu's speed, this little time was enough to shake him off and complete the shot.

Without him shouting, Curry had already pounced forward and stood in front of Zhuang Yu.

And this is exactly the effect Zhuang Yu wants.

Now the defense switched and Curry was guarding him. For Zhuang Yu, this was an opportunity for a mismatch. He first dribbled the ball between his legs to mobilize Curry's footsteps, then took a step back, stepped back to the three-point line and jumped up to shoot.

Curry immediately leaped forward with one hand raised high, but his height, wingspan and jumping ability were not as good as Zhuang Yu's, so he couldn't block the shot at all.

Zhuang Yu took a three-point shot facing Curry's flying shot. It was decisive and straightforward. He just wanted to get back at Curry by making this three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The ball went in and the three-pointer was hit.

After scoring this goal, Zhuang Yu deliberately gave Curry a provocative look, and then turned around to retreat. He not only wanted to name Curry at the offensive end, but also to provoke Curry and stimulate Curry. The best thing would be to make Curry lose his mind, and at the very least, he would make Curry compete with him.

Of course, Curry is also very strong in one-on-one play.

If Curry uses his teammates' screens and pick-and-rolls and the tactical system to find opportunities to shoot, Zhuang Yu dare not say that he can defend him.

But in a one-on-one situation, Zhuang Yu is still confident in his defense.

And in this way, a large number of ball possession opportunities are concentrated in Curry's hands. Even if Curry scores a few goals, it is better than him, Durant and Thompson scoring together.

On the offensive end, Curry first passed the ball to Draymond Green, ran a tactic himself, and then returned to the three-point line to get the ball.

This time he did not pass the ball, but chose to play alone. Zhuang Yu was not panicked at all, but very happy. He quickly chased after him.

Curry first lifted the ball and made a fake shot, but Zhuang Yu was not fooled and kept his feet firmly on the floor.

"This guy... you really can't fool him."

Curry thought to himself, and took a step forward with his right foot, but he did not break through to the right, but instead used his left hand to hit the ball and break through to the left. Zhuang Yu quickly moved sideways to the right, and at the same time slightly retreated half a step, blocking Curry's breakthrough route.

But then Curry dribbled the ball behind his back, and with a flick of his left hand, he switched the ball to his right hand, pretending to change direction by dribbling behind his back, but in fact he lightly tapped the floor with his toes, and instead of moving forward, he took a step back, retreated to outside the three-point line and shot immediately.

This series of actions was as smooth as flowing water, very smooth and fast, especially the last shot. It felt like he had just retreated and his feet were not stable. Curry's heels did not even touch the ground. He retreated and jumped with the forefoot, so the speed was very fast, and he just tapped the ground with his toes before jumping.

Of course, he can't jump very high like this, but Curry doesn't need to jump very high either.

Curry's shot is an unconventional shot, which belongs to the 1.5-stage shot. He does not shoot from the highest point of the jump, nor does he need to jump very high. The action will make the defender very uncomfortable, and it is difficult to judge his shooting point, and there is no time to rush over to block the shot in the first time.

Even though Zhuang Yu was mentally prepared, he was still a little slow.

Swish!

With a slight sound, the basketball accurately went through the net, causing the fans in the audience to cheer loudly.

Curry raised his hand and made a three-point gesture, then turned and ran to the backcourt.

"It looks like Curry is in good form today." Lopez picked up the basketball and served the ball to the baseline while frowning and saying to Zhuang Yu.

He was a little worried.

In just a short while, Curry had already scored two goals, both of which were three-pointers. It would be troublesome if Curry's three-pointers were not allowed to go wide.

"It's okay." Zhuang Yu smiled. "I'll go up a little to defend Curry's three-pointer. If he passes you, you should make up for it in the back."

"Okay." Lopez responded and passed the ball.

This time, it was Zhuang Yu who advanced with the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, he gestured to his teammates, indicating that they should come over for screen.

After two consecutive pick-and-rolls, the defense switched and Curry defended Zhuang Yu again.

Now everyone could see that Zhuang Yu was deliberately targeting Curry. He had singled out Curry last time, and it would be the same this time.

Draymond Green, who was not far away, kept glancing over here, wanting to come over to help Curry defend, but was a little hesitant.

While he was hesitating, Zhuang Yu had already taken action.

He first lowered his center of gravity and broke through from the right side, and when Curry moved sideways and retreated, Zhuang Yu dribbled the ball from behind, switched the ball to his left hand, and at the same time retreated back to shoot from outside the three-point line.

"Oh..."

In the audience, the fans were in an uproar.

Isn’t this what Curry did just now?

The only difference is that the two players seemed to be mirror images. Curry dribbled the ball behind his left hand, switched the ball to his right hand and then completed a step-back jump shot, while Zhuang Yu pretended to break through to the right, then dribbled the ball behind his back, switched the ball to his left hand and then completed a step-back jump shot.

Except for the direction of change, it is almost identical.

Swish!

And the ball went in.

"Shit, he got in again."

"Zhuang definitely did it on purpose. He definitely did it on purpose. He just did it on purpose, scoring over Curry's head the same way Curry did just now. This is a provocation."

The home fans immediately became unhappy and started booing.

But Zhuang Yu didn't care. He smiled at Curry, his smile was a bit mean, and the provocation was very obvious.

The home fans started to boo and yell at the court, asking Curry to fight back.

Curry frowned slightly. He knew Zhuang Yu a little bit. Zhuang Yu was not the kind of person who liked to talk trash and provoke his opponents. He might be doing this deliberately to provoke him to achieve a certain purpose. But thinking about the fact that he had Thompson, Durant, and Draymond Green by his side, the lineup and team strength had an absolute advantage.

At this moment, Zhuang Yu's provocation was so obvious that if he did not respond, he would inevitably lose his momentum.

So Curry decided to return the one.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Curry did not pass the ball, but signaled others to move away. He wanted to play one-on-one against Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu kept calling on him to play one-on-one, and he also wanted to call on Zhuang Yu to play one-on-one.

Curry first dribbled the ball between his legs continuously, keeping his center of gravity very low, and then suddenly changed direction. He was not really trying to break through, but just wanted to mislead the opponent, and then took a step back three-pointer.

Since both teams shot three-pointers in the previous two balls, Curry decided to retaliate with a three-pointer in this ball.

Moreover, he has already made two three-pointers. His touch is very good today, so naturally he has to continue shooting.

However, Zhuang Yu was not fooled by his fake moves. Instead of retreating, he rushed forward and directly defended Curry. He put one hand on Curry's waist and waved the other hand back and forth, trying to steal the ball and launch a pressure defense.

This disrupted Curry's offensive rhythm. He frowned and subconsciously turned sideways, using one hand to protect the ball and the other hand to lower the height of the dribble, almost dribbling close to the ground to avoid being intercepted by Zhuang Yu.

Seeing this, Draymond Green quickly ran over and set a screen for Curry.

Curry took the opportunity to break away from Zhuang Yu and break through, but Lopez in the interior had already made up for the defense in the first time and interfered with Curry's shot.

boom!

The goal didn't go in.

"Good defense." Zhuang Yu turned around and said to Lopez.

"Hehe, it's mainly because you defend well." Lopez grinned.

This was a successful defense.

In the next few rounds, Zhuang Yu always took the initiative to call out Curry, and provoked Curry with words and facial expressions, as if to say "if you have the guts, come and fight me one-on-one".

The key is that he really has strong strength, and he can really call on Curry to play against him individually and keep scoring over Curry's head.

This made Curry a little annoyed. He felt uncomfortable being singled out. He couldn't defend Zhuang Yu and could only fight back on the offensive end.

However, facing Zhuang Yu's oppressive defense, it was not easy for him to shoot a three-pointer.

Of course, Curry is not only good at shooting three-pointers, he is also very good at breakthroughs. However, after the breakthrough, he still has to face Lopez's backup defense. Regardless of whether he can score after the breakthrough, as long as it is not a three-pointer, the effect will be discounted.
