Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Entering the fourth quarter, both teams sent out rotation lineups, but the Warriors were unable to gain much of an advantage. Clarkson of the Lakers played very well, and other players besides him also played very well. Although they could not gain the upper hand, they kept close to the score.

A few minutes later, the Lakers made substitutions and started replacing their main players.

At the same time, Coach Kerr also made substitutions, replacing the main players and said to several players: "We let Zhuang score a lot of points, but it doesn't matter. Keep wearing him down. I don't believe he still has enough energy at this time. Keep pressing him with defense."

Several players responded.

Both sides returned to the court, and the Warriors continued to launch high-pressure defense on Zhuang Yu, while Zhuang Yu tried to attract defense and create opportunities for his teammates.

It was fine at first, but soon the offensive efficiency of his teammates began to decline.

One reason was that in the final minutes, the Warriors' defense was obviously better than before and the confrontation became more intense; the other reason was that at this time the score was very close and every ball was extremely crucial. The Lakers players were under great psychological pressure and several role players were obviously hesitant on the offensive end.

As a result, the gap between the two sides was widened in a short while.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Scott called a timeout, made some new arrangements, and encouraged the players to be resolute on the offensive end and not to have any concerns.

But Coach Scott also knew that this was not something that could be resolved with just a few words. At this point, he still had to rely on Zhuang Yu.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhuang Yu.

"Please believe me." Zhuang Yu said.

......

Back on the court, the Lakers were trailing by 6 points.

At this time, the five people on the court were Clarkson, Deron, Zhuang Yu, Anderson, and Nance Jr.

Clarkson advanced with the ball and passed it to Zhuang Yu in the frontcourt. Thompson and Draymond Green rushed forward to double-team him.

Zhuang Yu did not pass the ball. He pushed the ball forward and suddenly retreated. He was originally outside the three-point line, but after this step back he retreated to a position more than one meter outside the three-point line and then jumped directly.

"Not good." Thompson was shocked.

Draymond Green was even more stunned and had no time to pounce.

The next moment, the basketball flew out from Zhuang Yu's fingertips, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and finally penetrated the net with a "swish".

"nice shot."

"This is a really beautiful shot, a long three-pointer, amazing."

In the audience stands, the home fans cheered excitedly.

After this three-pointer, the difference between the two sides was narrowed to 6 points.

However, the Warriors quickly responded. After Curry reached the frontcourt, he set a screen, got rid of Zhuang Yu, received the ball and pretended to shoot, but he took advantage of the situation to break through, and then faced Nance's block and threw the ball with one hand, and hit a high rebound.

Also enter.

After only a few dozen seconds, Zhuang Yu attacked again.

This time it was not a three-pointer, but a forced breakthrough.

He first used his speed to get past Thompson, then jumped up with the ball in his arms while being surrounded by the Warriors, and made a layup with the basketball in his right hand.

Several Warriors players looked at each other, feeling helpless. They had already blocked Zhuang Yu, but he still had a jump shot and it actually went in.

After the ball was scored, Zhuang Yu's personal data for the day was displayed on the big screen: 40 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists. Not only was he the first in the team in scoring, but he was also the first in rebounds and assists. Oh, and he also had two steals and two blocks, filling up the technical column like a hexagonal warrior.

When the audience saw Zhuang Yu’s personal data, there was a cry of surprise.

This is so scary!

......

In a blink of an eye, there was only a little over a minute left in the game.

The Warriors called a timeout. At this time they were still leading by 4 points. Although they were leading, this score was not safe.

"Let me tell you..."

Coach Kerr frowned and made some arrangements, then signaled the players to go on the court. He couldn't help but look to the other side, his eyes fell on Zhuang Yu, and he was a little shocked in his heart - Zhuang Yu had already scored 44 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists.

This performance gave Coach Kerr an unreal feeling, making him wonder if he was hallucinating. Was this really Zhuang Yu, not LeBron James?

The game continues...

The Warriors attacked, the score was 113:109.

At this time, the Warriors used a "five-small lineup". Curry advanced with the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, he first consumed time and started attacking when there were less than ten seconds left.

First, a pick-and-roll was called, then Curry broke through and passed the ball to Thompson. Thompson also broke through, and Durant took the opportunity to cut along the baseline. Thompson passed the ball, and Durant jumped after receiving the pass from Thompson.

Anderson stood in front of Durant, he jumped up and fanned the basketball.

However, Durant dodged in the air, switched the ball to his left hand, avoided Anderson's block, and reached towards the basket with the basketball in his left hand.

Anderson defended this ball very well, but Durant was better.

"careful......"

But just as Durant's mouth opened to grin, a scream was heard. His heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously speeded up his shooting, but it was still a little slow.

There was a snap.

A big hand came out from the side and knocked the basketball away.

Durant turned his head and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and his face became extremely ugly - it was Zhuang Yu!

"Damn it." Durant cursed under his breath.

The ball was blown away by Zhuang Yu and fell into the hands of Little Nance. After landing, Zhuang Yu ran towards Little Nance, took the basketball from him, and ran straight to the front court without stopping.

Several Warriors players were trying hard to catch up. Zhuang Yu's physical energy was indeed consumed a lot. His speed was not as fast as before, and he was not able to completely get rid of the Warriors players. But he didn't care. When he reached the frontcourt three-point line, he suddenly jumped up and made a three-pointer.

This was somewhat unexpected. The person closest to Zhuang Yu was Draymond Green, and he subconsciously flew over.

boom!

The next moment, Draymond Green pounced on Zhuang Yu.

As the referee blew the whistle, Zhuang Yu was tackled, but his eyes were still fixed on the basket. He didn't smile until the basketball fell into the net.

"Oh..."

The whole audience was in an uproar and exclamations were heard everywhere.

The ball went in, a three-pointer was made, and it also caused a foul by Draymond Green. It was a 3+1!

When Zhuang Yu stepped onto the free throw line and made the extra free throw, all the Warriors fans in the audience were convinced.

The home fans stood up and shouted at the court: "The Lakers must win, the Lakers must win..."

The shouts are like thunder, echoing endlessly.

......

With only a few seconds left in the game, the score became 113:113.

The Warriors attacked, and Curry did not press the time after reaching the frontcourt because the score had already been tied.

"Pick and roll."

Curry called for a pick-and-roll, but it was Durant, not Draymond Green, who came forward to do it.

This is somewhat unexpected. Durant and Curry are both super scorers. They both play more one-on-one and rarely have this kind of pick-and-roll cooperation.

For a moment, the Lakers' defense had problems. Anderson was defending Durant, but with Durant blocking him, he didn't know whether to continue chasing Durant or switch defense with Zhuang Yu, defending Curry himself and letting Zhuang Yu defend Durant.

"Change defense." Zhuang Yu shouted.

Anderson reacted and pounced on Curry.

Seeing this, Curry gave up the idea of ​​passing the ball and focused on Anderson, making a series of crossover steps, then suddenly changing direction and passing Anderson in one step.

After passing Anderson, Curry rushed towards the basket, turned his head to look, and made sure that Anderson couldn't catch up, then he threw the ball with one hand towards Nance Jr.

Swish!

The ball was scored and the score was 115:113.

There are thirty seconds left in the game.

"Requesting a timeout."

The Lakers called a timeout.

After a few players came down, Coach Scott patted Zhuang Yu on the shoulder and said, "Take a break."

After Zhuang Yu had a breath, Coach Scott spread out the tactical board, arranged the tactics, and let Zhuang Yu play.

After the timeout, the Lakers attacked.

When they got to the frontcourt, Deron gave the ball to Zhuang Yu, and then several players ran quickly. Nance Jr. stepped forward to screen Zhuang Yu, who tried to get rid of him but failed. The Warriors switched defense quickly, and Zhuang Yu took a look at the basket and chose to break through.

The next moment, he took a step forward. At this time, his physical energy was very consumed, so he did not do any complicated movements. He hugged the basketball and went straight to a three-step layup. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength at this moment.

boom!

Zhuang Yu and Draymond Green collided with each other, Draymond Green's face changed, and he was actually knocked away.

How can this be?

At this moment, Zhuang Yu's eyes were as sharp as a sword. He gritted his teeth, pushed Draymond Green away, rushed to the inside, and raised the ball.

boom!

Zhuang Yu fell to the ground.

The ball did not go in, and he was pulled down directly by Draymond Green behind him.

Several teammates ran over and looked at Zhuang Yu with concern.

"I'm fine." Zhuang Yu said to his teammates.

The teammates breathed a sigh of relief. They all had psychological trauma after Lopez was injured and were afraid that Zhuang Yu would also be injured.

Zhuang Yu was pulled up by his teammates, while the fans in the audience were still cursing.

"Shit, are you all blind? This is clearly a foul."

"Black whistle, they must have been bribed."

The home fans roared angrily, thinking it was a foul. After all, Draymond Green had already lost his defensive position and tried to pull Zhuang Yu, and even knocked him directly to the ground. If this wasn't a foul, what was?

However, the referee only gave a normal foul.

This naturally did not satisfy the fans. After all, the Lakers were two points behind at the time. If there was an ordinary foul, even if Zhuang Yu made both free throws, he would only tie the score. But if there was another personal foul, there would be a chance to directly overtake the score.

The referee ignored it and insisted that it was just an ordinary foul, and signaled Zhuang Yu to go to the free throw line to take two free throws.

At this time, there were only a dozen seconds left in the game.

Zhuang Yu stood on the free throw line, adjusted his breathing first, then shot the first free throw. With a swish, the first free throw was made and the score became 1:114.

The Lakers trailed by just one point.

At this moment, all the home fans fell silent. They held their breath, stared at the court without blinking, and prayed in their hearts that the second free throw would be successful.

"boom!"

However, what are you afraid of?

Zhuang Yu missed his second free throw and the basketball bounced out of the basket.

The home fans were all shocked and upset.

At this moment, Anderson stretched out his long arms, using his height and arm length to poke the ball out before the Warriors players got the rebound. The ball just fell in front of Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu's eyes lit up and he grabbed the basketball.

"not good."

"Damn it, don't let him do it."

For a moment, all the Warriors players panicked.

Zhuang Yu jumped up, held the basketball in his right hand and shook his wrist. The free throw line was at this distance. For him, it was almost the same as a free throw. Even though he consumed a lot of energy, he was still confident enough.

"Shh!"

The ball goes in.

Suddenly, the audience was in an uproar.

This shot made the score between the two teams 116:115, and the Lakers took the lead by one point with only 9 seconds left in the game.

"Fake."

"It's just shit luck."

Some Warriors fans yelled in dissatisfaction. No one expected that the Lakers would overtake the score in such a way, and with less than ten seconds left in the game.

Coach Kerr called a timeout.

He was also very depressed, but there was nothing to say. He quickly spread out the tactical board and made some arrangements. They still had 9 seconds and a chance to defeat the Lakers.

......

The pause ended quickly.

Both teams returned to the court, and the Lakers replaced Deron and Clarkson with players who could defend.

Because there are only 9 seconds, they just need to defend well!

The ball was passed to Draymond Green. Of course, Draymond Green was not asked to execute the attack. He was just responsible for passing the ball, while Curry, Durant and Thompson were all running actively.

Time passed quickly, Curry moved to the left, Thompson moved to the right, and Durant ran towards Draymond Green and reached for the ball.

However, Draymond Green did not pass the ball to Durant, but to Curry outside the left three-point line.

Curry took a three-point shot as soon as he received the ball.

boom!

The ball didn't make the target.

Nance Jr. grabbed the rebound and passed it to Zhuang Yu immediately. The Warriors players pounced on Zhuang Yu and could only use foul tactics.

But there was basically no hope for them because there were only two seconds left in the game after the foul and the Warriors had no more timeouts.

Zhuang Yu stood on the free throw line.

With Zhuang Yu making both free throws, the score became 118:115, with the Lakers leading by three points.

In the last two seconds, the Warriors passed the ball from the backcourt to Curry. Curry received the ball and turned to push it forward, but the ball was too difficult and he failed to hit it.

"drop......"

The whistle sounded to end the game, and the score was 118:115. The Lakers won the game with a three-point advantage.

All the home fans in the audience stood up, cheering, screaming, and shouting excitedly...

Win, the Lakers finally won a game!

Although they were still trailing 1:2, they at least proved that they could beat the Warriors, even in the absence of Lopez.

Amid cheers, the Lakers players all rushed towards Zhuang Yu and surrounded him.

"MVP, MVP..."

Tens of thousands of fans shouted MVP in unison and gave the warmest cheers to Zhuang Yu.

A group of Warriors players walked towards the player tunnel. Curry turned his head and took a look. He had to admit that Zhuang Yu played really well today and deserved the MVP.

Today, Zhuang Yu scored 53 points, plus 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, putting on an ultimate personal performance and helping the Lakers win the game.

The 51 points is also Zhuang Yu's highest single-game score in the playoffs. He is also the first Chinese player in NBA history to score 1+ in the playoffs.
