Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

The competition continues.

At this time, Zhuang Yu and Holiday are in a group. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be the starting lineup of the Lakers in the new season.

Clarkson returned to another group, together with Deron and others, which was considered a substitute player group. As for the personnel, they were naturally not fixed.

At this time, players such as Gerald Green, Nance Jr. and Dedmon were not on the court, but rookies Kuzma and Zubac were on the court.

The substitute team has possession of the ball.

Deron dribbled the ball and soon reached the frontcourt, where he immediately felt a strong pressure coming towards him.

Even though this was just a training game and Zhuang Yu and the others didn't take it too seriously, but looking at their lineup Deron felt like Alexander.

How to fight this?

At this time, Holiday and Deron are facing each other, Zhuang Yu and Clarkson are facing each other, Korver and Nick Young are facing each other, Anderson and Kuzma are facing each other, and Lopez and Zubac are facing each other.

It can be said that the substitute players in any position of the team cannot gain any advantage, and are even at an absolute disadvantage. This makes it difficult for anyone to win.

"Pick and roll."

Deron made a gesture, first calling for a pick-and-roll, then breaking through and passing the ball, and gestured to his teammates, signaling them to move, hoping to use tactics to get a chance.

However, after several passes, they still couldn't find an opportunity.

The starting team not only had excellent one-on-one defense capabilities, but also had a fast switching speed, which prevented the substitute team from finding opportunities easily. Finally, the ball was given to Clarkson, who played one-on-one against Zhuang Yu, took a series of crossover steps, and then suddenly pulled up and made a fadeaway jump shot.

"Oh, you're quite smart. You know how to use the backward move." Zhuang Yu smiled slightly. "Unfortunately, I had predicted your prediction a long time ago."

Zhuang Yu jumped up, not rushing towards Clarkson head-on, but rushing from the side of Clarkson. In this way, even if he passed Clarkson, their bodies would not collide, and Zhuang Yu would not violate the cylinder and commit a foul.

The most important advantage of this is that Zhuang Yu can rush forward as far as possible, making it impossible for Clarkson to avoid his block even if he leans back.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the basketball was blown away.

"Oh..."

There was an uproar outside the stadium.

No one expected that Clarkson would be blocked by Zhuang Yu right at the beginning.

Clarkson's face changed and he turned his head to see that Zhuang Yu had already landed and quickly jumped out, grabbed the basketball and rushed to the front court.

"It's over." Clarkson cried in his heart.

This kind of fast break after a block is unstoppable, because the others simply don't have time to catch up, and can't catch up with Zhuang Yu's speed. In the end, they can only watch Zhuang Yu rush to the front court. He turned his head to take a look, and after making sure that no one was catching up, he slowed down slightly, bent his knees and jumped up.

Without any effort on his part, he soared into the sky, jumped very high, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and glided in the air towards the basket.

Until he flew in front of the basket, Zhuang Yu didn't fall much, and his hand holding the basketball was still much higher than the basket. With a low roar, his body actually paused in the air, and he raised his right hand backwards, making the dunk a little bigger.

Bang!

Finally, he slammed the basketball into the basket.

"This dunk is so explosive."

"He jumped really high. I feel like he jumped higher than before for this dunk. His body barely came down even after it reached the edge of the basket."

"Don't you think the pause in the air at the end is the most terrifying? It's a gliding dunk, and the last part is still in the air. It's incredible."

People exclaimed and were all amazed.

This dunk looked like a simple gliding dunk, but the distance Zhuang Yu flew, the height he jumped, as well as the smoothness and ease of his movements were not comparable to ordinary gliding dunks. It shocked everyone and even surpassed the NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest.

Zhuang Yu landed on the ground and turned around calmly to retreat.

Several players from the starting team came up and high-fived Zhuang Yu.

Holiday praised sincerely: "Brother, if this dunk of yours was put in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, it would definitely get full marks."

Zhuang Yu laughed: "Is that because the full score is only 50 points?"

The substitute team attacks.

Several people looked at each other and could only shake their heads helplessly. However, they had known about Zhuang Yu's strength for a long time, so they were used to it and soon calmed down.

After coming to the frontcourt, Deron still gestured to his teammates, asking them to run tactics. Finally, the ball was given to Kuzma, who made a jump shot.

Although the ball went in, Deron felt helpless and smiled bitterly: "We can only rely on Kuzma, a rookie, to score."

The starters fought back.

Zhuang Yu did not hold the ball, but ran directly to the frontcourt, signaling Holiday to play the No. 1 position.

Holiday was delighted and secretly relieved.

Originally, he was a little worried about whether he would play the No. 1 or No. 2 position after joining the Lakers. Last season, Deron played the No. 1 position and Zhuang Yu played the No. 2 position. But this season, it may not be the case, because Zhuang Yu's organizational ability is actually very strong. He thinks Zhuang Yu can actually become a ball-holding core like Westbrook and Harden.

If Zhuang Yu wants to return to position 1, then he can only play position 2.

Although Holiday can also play the No. 2 position, this means that his ball possession will be reduced, and his tactical position and role in the game will also be reduced.

Last season, Holiday averaged 7.3 assists per game, ranking first on the Pelicans. He likes to play the No. 1 position, so he would definitely not be comfortable playing the No. 2 position.

Fortunately, Zhuang Yu has expressed his stance.

Holiday took the ball and pushed forward. When he reached the frontcourt, he looked at Zhuang Yu and immediately gave the ball to Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu asked him to stay in his favorite position No. 1, but it did not mean that he could hold on to the ball. He was not stupid at all and could tell the difference between the big and small kings.

Zhuang Yu took the basketball, first made a fake shot, then accelerated and broke through, passing Clarkson in one step, making Clarkson want to cry.

After passing Clarkson, Zhuang Yu slowed down, waiting for Zubac to come over to defend, and then threw the ball with one hand.

"hey-hey......"

Lopez grinned, jumped up, grabbed the basketball in the air, and made a powerful alley-oop slam dunk.

A clanging sound came from behind him, reminding Zubac that he had been fooled.

"There's no way to fight this, the gap is too big."

"Yeah, Zhuang alone can defeat them all."

On the sidelines, the players who did not play shook their heads.

This was expected. Coach Scott and Assistant Coach Madsen just smiled faintly and continued watching the game on the court.

......

The game continues...

The substitute team attacks.

This time Clarkson used pick-and-roll and screen to get rid of Zhuang Yu, but just as he received the ball, a figure flashed in front of him and Holiday pounced on him.

Clarkson played against Holiday one-on-one, changing directions continuously, then suddenly accelerated to try to pass Holiday, but failed. The two collided with each other, and a huge force hit Clarkson, causing him to stagger, while Holiday did not move at all.

Snapped!

A soft sound.

Clarkson's palms felt empty, and when he looked down, the ball was gone.

This time it was Holiday who stole the ball. He was stronger than Clarkson in the confrontation. He took advantage of Clarkson's imbalance after the confrontation and quickly shot out to cut off the ball.

The next moment, Holiday jumped out and grabbed the basketball. He looked up and saw a figure quickly crossing the center line. His eyes lit up and he immediately pushed with both hands...
