Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

The difference between the two sides became 6 points.

The Warriors had the ball, Livingston dribbled forward and when he reached the frontcourt he looked at Durant. Durant didn't hesitate and immediately reached out to him for the ball.

Livingston passed the ball to Durant and then ran away.

At this moment, everyone's attention was once again focused on Durant and Zhuang Yu.

"Is KD going to play one-on-one again?"

"Of course, the ball just now didn't go in, but was turned into a fast break dunk by Zhuang Yu. Durant must be very upset, and he must return the favor."

"Why do I feel that the ball was blocked by Zhuang just now?"

"I also think it was blocked, maybe just a little bit, but it was definitely blocked, and the trajectory of the ball was obviously changed."

"Wow, Durant must have taken a shot, but he was blocked by Zhuang Yu. How could he not take a shot?"

In the audience, fans were whispering.

On the court, Durant had already taken action. He first lifted the ball and was about to pull up for a shot, but Zhuang Yu was unmoved. Durant slapped the ball on the floor and did not accelerate directly. Instead, he took a series of cross steps to mobilize Zhuang Yu's defensive steps.

However, Zhuang Yu was not at all fooled by his actions, and his feet were firmly nailed to the floor.

This made Durant feel helpless. He frowned, but finally chose to force an attack.

He suddenly accelerated and broke through to the left. Zhuang Yu quickly retreated to block the position, but Durant did not do anything more this time. Instead, he took one dribble and directly hugged the ball and took three steps, actively leaning towards Zhuang Yu, looking for physical confrontation.

Although Durant is not a muscular man with explosive strength, his height and weight are there after all. Although he seems to be quite thin, his ability to fight is actually not weak at all. Despite the difference in height and weight, Durant still has the advantage in physical confrontation.

He just pushed Zhuang Yu away and then lifted the ball up.

However, the other players on the Lakers were not just standing there watching.

Nance Jr. had already pounced over. He jumped up with all his might, waving his arms and fanning the basketball in Durant's hand.

Nance Jr. is not an excellent scorer, and he is not even that good on defense. After all, as an inside player, his height is a disadvantage.

But his physical fitness is very strong, and his jumping and explosive power are excellent.

Durant was startled when he saw Nance Jr. suddenly jumping out from behind Zhuang Yu, and he subconsciously speeded up his shooting.

"boom!"

As a result, the shooting rhythm was disrupted and the basketball bounced out of the basket.

Durant was so frustrated that he cursed "Damn it" and could only turn around and retreat.

On the sidelines, Coach Kerr frowned slightly. He was somewhat surprised that Durant failed to succeed in two singles against Zhuang Yu. After all, Durant had the advantage of height and wingspan against Zhuang Yu, and with Durant's scoring ability, this almost mismatched singles should have a very good effect.

Fortunately, the Warriors retreated in time this time and were not quickly counterattacked by the Lakers.

Since there was no chance, Zhuang Yu signaled his teammates to slow down, then called for a pick-and-roll. Nance Jr. stepped forward to screen for him, and Zhuang Yu moved to the left, taking the opportunity to get rid of Thompson's defense.

But the next moment, Draymond Green and Durant rushed up together.

Now that Lopez is not on the court and the other Lakers players are obviously not in good shape, the Warriors focused their defense on Zhuang Yu.

As soon as they saw Zhuang Yu break through, the Warriors immediately tightened their defense and surrounded him.

Zhuang Yu frowned, but did not hesitate.

He seemed to be retreating instead of advancing, taking a step back and then jumping up.

Draymond Green and Durant all rushed forward, one on the left and one on the right, like two ghosts knocking on the door, determined to block his shot.

However, this time Zhuang Yu not only stepped back, but also leaned back to a great extent, with his body almost at 60 degrees to the floor, which looked very exaggerated.

This kind of fade away made Draymond Green and Durant very helpless. Even though both of them were taller than Zhuang Yu, they couldn't block it.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"Awesome."

"It has to be Zhuang Yu, he is so amazing."

In the audience, Lakers fans cheered excitedly.

At this time, the score difference between the two sides returned to 8 points. Coach Kerr on the sidelines hesitated for a moment, but finally did not call a timeout because there was not much time left in this quarter.

There was only one minute left in the third quarter. Neither side was able to score in the final minute. When the third quarter ended, the Lakers still led by 3 points.

Warriors fans were not satisfied with the result. Lopez was injured and the condition of other Lakers players was obviously affected.

Under such circumstances, the Warriors, with Draymond Green, Thompson and Durant on the court, were unable to catch up with the score.

This is a little inappropriate.

I didn't seize the opportunity that was right in front of me.

Coach Kerr's face looked a little ugly, but he didn't say anything. There was still one quarter left in the game and the situation was still in their favor.

On the Lakers side, Coach Scott high-fived the players one by one, encouraged them and praised them.

In fact, except for Zhuang Yu, the performance of others was not good in the past period of time. However, we must not criticize them at this time, but encourage them.

......

Soon the 4th section begins.

The Lakers sent out Deron and Anderson, and let them play with several substitute players.

Watching the players walk onto the court, Coach Scott stood on the sidelines with his arms folded and a serious expression on his face. Although they were still leading by 8 points, there was only one quarter left in the game, and the situation was not favorable for them without Lopez.

The Warriors sent out Curry and let Curry play with several substitute players.

For a while, the Warriors had the upper hand, after all, they had an absolute strong point in Curry, while the Lakers had neither Zhuang Yu nor Clarkson. Although the Lakers double-teamed Curry, the effect was not good, and Curry's off-ball ability was also very strong.

After a short while, the gap between the two sides was narrowed to only three points.

"Requesting a substitution."

Coach Scott had no choice but to make substitutions, starting with Clarkson.

Before going on the court, Coach Scott pulled Clarkson aside and said to him, "I'll give you unlimited firing rights. Don't worry about anything, just do it."

Clarkson nodded heavily and walked towards the court.

After this substitution, the Lakers' offense improved. Clarkson's performance was not good in the last few minutes of the third quarter, but now he has obviously adjusted, and with the blessing of unlimited firing rights, his performance on the offensive end is still good.

However, the Warriors soon called a timeout, and when the timeout ended, Iguodala and Draymond Green returned to the court.

In the past period of time, Coach Kerr did not send Iguodala to play, with the purpose of letting Iguodala play in the last few minutes.

The Lakers don't have Lopez, so Coach Kerr can play a small lineup without any worries, that is, Curry, Thompson, Draymond Green, Durant and Iguodala.

At this time, only Thompson and Durant among the five people have not yet played.

On the Lakers side, coach Scott replaced Deron with Zhuang Yu, Clarkson, Anderson, Gerald Green, and Davis.

When both sides returned to the court, the Lakers were still at a disadvantage.

Without Lopez, the Warriors' defense does not need to shrink inward and can expand as much as possible, so the defensive effect is even better than before.

Except for Zhuang Yu and Clarkson, the other players on the Lakers have not adjusted their form yet. They basically had no performance on the offensive end, which could even be said to be terrible. They failed to make some open shots.

After a few rounds, the gap between the two sides was narrowed to only one point.

Coach Scott called a timeout and replaced Davis with Nance Jr., and also replaced Gerald Green with Deron.

The Warriors also made substitutions, replacing Curry and Durant together and returning to the small lineup.

......

The pause ends.

The Warriors are playing with a small lineup, while the Lakers are playing with Deron, Zhuang Yu, Anderson, Clarkson, and Nance Jr. It's also a small lineup, but the Lakers are even smaller in terms of average height.

As soon as he returned to the court, Zhuang Yu was double-teamed. He quickly passed the ball to Deron, who then passed the ball to Clarkson.

However, after passing the ball back and forth several times, the Lakers still did not find an opportunity to shoot, and finally the ball returned to Zhuang Yu's hands.

Seeing that there were only three seconds left in the offensive time, Zhuang Yu dribbled the ball forward one step, then jumped up and made a fadeaway jump shot.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

However, the Warriors responded with continuous breakthroughs and passed the ball to Durant, who made a three-pointer.

The score was tied.

“I was still caught up.”

"The absence of Lopez has a huge impact on the team."

"yes......"

The fans could only sigh.

Seeing the score being caught up, many people had already lost confidence in the game, but Zhuang Yu did not. He came to the front court and ran back to ask for the ball.

Without waiting for the opponent's double-team, he immediately accelerated and broke through, heading straight for the basket, and finally made a layup in the air.

In the next few rounds, Zhuang Yu played very decisively and resolutely. He reduced his reach outside the three-point line and instead broke through to attack the basket again and again, because at this time there was no one in the Warriors' small lineup to protect the basket.

Moreover, without Lopez, the Warriors further strengthened their defense against Zhuang Yu, especially the three-pointer defense.

......

"beep!"

The referee blew the whistle and called a foul on Draymond Green, indicating that Zhuang Yu's goal was valid and an additional penalty was required.

Zhuang Yu stood on the free throw line, gasping for breath.

Ever since Lopez was injured, he has taken on the team's offensive responsibility, especially in this quarter. Under the Warriors' key defensive targeting, he needed to expend more energy than before every time he scored the ball, which was very exhausting.

"boom!"

The free throw missed.

In the audience, the Lakers fans sighed secretly and felt sorry for Zhuang Yu.

At this time, among the five Lakers players on the court, only Zhuang Yu and Clarkson could score, and Clarkson's offensive state was not as good as before after he lost the unlimited firing rights. As for Deron, Anderson, and Nance, they hardly scored.

It can be said that almost all the pressure falls on Zhuang Yu alone.

What made the fans feel even more uncomfortable was that even though Zhuang Yu tried so hard, the Lakers were still behind in the score.

Because every time Zhuang Yu scored a goal, the Warriors could always hit back, they had too many people who could score.

......

"Zhuang Yu is really too tired."

"He has done well enough. He has scored 16 points in this quarter alone. He almost scored all the points for the team. It's just that the opponent is too strong."

In the audience, fans were sighing.

Before we knew it, the game had come to an end with only one minute left, and the Warriors were still leading by 7 points.

The Lakers were at a disadvantage throughout the entire quarter. If Zhuang Yu hadn't broken through the siege and scored the ball again and again, the Lakers would have been behind by more than 7 points at this time.

It's just that he was really too tired.

But even at this time, Zhuang Yu did not give up. He rushed towards the Warriors' basket again, first throwing himself into the air, and then shooting the ball.

With a bang, Zhuang Yu fell to the ground.

The ball was not scored, but the referee blew the whistle and called a defensive foul. Clarkson, Nance Jr., and Anderson came to Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu shook his head at them and motioned for him to lie on the ground for a while.

This scene made the Lakers fans feel uncomfortable.

An Xin was even more heartbroken.

Zhuang Yu was pulled up by his teammates. Anderson sighed and said to Zhuang Yu, "Brother, you have done well enough. Don't be too hard on yourself."

Zhuang Yu panted and shook his head: "I'm not asking too much of myself. I'm the star player of the team. This is my responsibility. If I don't stand up, who will?"

Anderson sighed again.

Watching Zhuang Yu dragging his tired body to the free throw line, and seeing that his sweat had already dripped onto the floor in front of him to form a small puddle before he even started shooting free throws, Anderson felt very uncomfortable. At this moment, Zhuang Yu was like a lonely warrior, which made people feel distressed.

At this moment, Anderson suddenly hated himself, hated his weak scoring ability.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, Zhuang Yu missed his first free throw.

He took a deep breath, tried to adjust his breathing, and made the second free throw, making the score difference 2 points.

There were only a few dozen seconds left in the game, and Coach Scott called the last timeout, not to make any arrangements, but to let Zhuang Yu come down to catch his breath and rest.

The timeout passed quickly and Zhuang Yu returned to the court before he had time to catch his breath.

The Warriors arrived, but they were not in a hurry to attack. They started to waste time and only took action when there were only a few seconds left in the attack time. It was still Durant.

At this time, it was still Zhuang Yu who was defending Durant, but with Zhuang Yu's current physical condition, he was no longer able to maintain a good enough defense.

With a swish, Durant made a jump shot.

The game lost its suspense.

With twenty seconds left, the Lakers scored on their final attack, but they were still trailing by six points and there was no need to play any further.

"drop......"

全场比赛结束,比分120:114，勇士队以6分的优势赢下这场比赛，双方的系列赛大比分改写成2:0。
