Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

I thought that since Zhuang Yu had just missed a three-pointer, he would need to think for a while and wait, and might even look for an off-ball three-pointer opportunity to see if he could get into a completely open position before shooting.

Who would have thought that Zhuang Yu would take advantage of a switch and come in front of Lillard and step back to shoot a three-pointer against his defense.

This is undoubtedly a direct response to Lillard.

Lillard subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but he was too slow. Moreover, he was not tall enough, so even his interference effect was limited.

In fact, Zhuang Yu didn't care about Lillard's interference at all, because he was sure that Lillard couldn't block him, so why should he care?

Zhuang Yu jumped up, his eyes fixed on the basket, holding the basketball in his right hand, his body stretched in the air, but the whole shooting action was very fast.

Done in an instant.

Swish!

Then there was a slight sound and the basketball went through the net.

"Another three-pointer."

"Is this the fifth one? Zhuang Yu made five three-pointers in the first half."

"Haha, we have to thank Lillard for this. If he hadn't provoked Zhuang Yu and insisted on competing with him in three-point shooting, Zhuang Yu wouldn't have shot so many, right?"

In the audience, the home fans were discussing excitedly and cheering loudly. Many fans were also mocking Lillard. But the fans of the Trail Blazers couldn't refute it because Zhuang Yu scored the goal over Lillard's head.

But Zhuang Yu’s 100% hit rate was still gone.

6 of 5 three-pointers!

......

Coming to the frontcourt, Lillard wanted to fight back, but just as he was about to play one-on-one, he saw Zhuang Yu approaching. He didn't double-team him directly, but he was moving closer to him, keeping a certain distance. As long as Lillard played one-on-one, he would definitely come over to help defend.

Lillard hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to pass the ball first.

Firstly, Zhuang Yu was eyeing the opportunity covetously, wondering where the title of best defensive player was; secondly, Coach Stotts had just reminded him not to take it too easy, and there was no need to just throw a three-pointer towards the defensive players in the frontcourt. He could wait, call a tactic, and wait until the opportunity was good enough before throwing the ball.

The hit rate would be even higher, and Lillard also needs a better chance because he needs to make this three-pointer to fight back.

If he missed the shot, he would be defeated by Zhuang Yu again.

"Pick and roll."

Lillard made a gesture, first called a pick-and-roll, then took the opportunity to break through, Zhuang Yu quickly assisted in defense, Lillard smiled coldly, secretly said "Sure enough", and quickly passed the ball to McCollum. After getting the ball, McCollum made a fake shot, then broke through, took two steps forward and made a quick stop jump shot.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

This was a good shot, but Lillard was a little unhappy because he originally wanted to pass the ball first, run a three-pointer tactic himself, and then catch the ball again and shoot a three-pointer.

You have to give back what you have given.

But McCollum took it upon himself to vote.

"Hey, it wasn't Lillard who shot the three-pointer?"

"Yeah, given Lillard's personality, he should have immediately returned a three-pointer..."

Listening to the noise coming from the audience, Lillard's face turned black.

In the next round, when he came to the frontcourt, Lillard gestured to his teammates, indicating a three-point tactic. He passed the ball, but not to McCollum, but to Aminu, then he went around the inside and returned to the outside to receive the ball.

Aminu immediately passed the ball and Zhuang Yu was blocked. However, just as Lillard was about to shoot, an arm suddenly stretched out from the side.

what?

Lillard was shocked, but it was too late to think about it. He gritted his teeth, increased his shooting speed, and increased his strength, so that he could shoot before the opponent's hand could block it.

It's just that the shooting rhythm of this ball was completely messed up.

As soon as the ball was released, Lillard yelled, "Rebound."

At the same time, he was about to rush in to grab the rebound, but the next moment he saw the basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

Uh......

Lillard was stunned.

Several teammates also turned their heads to look at him, with eyes that seemed to be saying, are you guessing?

"That... ahem..."

Lillard was speechless, feeling both surprised and a little embarrassed. He was surprised that the ball went in, but he was embarrassed because even if he explained that it was not luck, no one would believe him.

Who told him to shout "grab the rebound" every time he shot?

But it's a shot if it's scored, and it's a good shot. Lillard looked at Zhuang Yu, and that arrogant look made Zhuang Yu laugh and cry. If you have the guts, just guess like this every time.

"Lillard's three-pointer was also very accurate today."

"Yes, that's four of them."

In the auditorium, fans were discussing.

Coach Scott immediately made a substitution, replacing Clarkson with Holiday. Clarkson's defense was still a little lacking.

When the Lakers came to the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu took the initiative to ask for the ball, then winked at Holiday, and the two moved crosswise and switched defense again.

"Don't switch..." Lillard shouted.

However, McCollum decisively pounced on Holiday, thinking to himself, I can't defend Zhuang Yu, you are the star player of the team, it's time for you to show your skills.

Lillard was feeling depressed. He looked at Zhuang Yu, but the arrogance in his eyes was gone. He could score points, but he had no confidence in defending Zhuang Yu.

"Even if we can't defend him, we can't let him shoot three-pointers." Lillard said to himself in his heart, it doesn't matter if he can't defend him, but as long as he can't let Zhuang Yu make another three-pointer, it will be fine.

However, the next moment, Zhuang Yu took a step back, retreated to more than one meter outside the three-point line, and then took a three-point shot.

Wang Defa...

Lillard's eyes widened. Stepping back is not uncommon, but he has never seen anyone stepping back from outside the three-point line. Is it because the three-point line is not far enough or difficult enough?

This time he was unable to react and was frozen in place. He could only watch Zhuang Yu step back, jump up, and shoot a long three-pointer.

"It won't go in. How is it possible..."

Lillard muttered to himself and turned to look at the basket.

But the next moment, the basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket.

This...is actually a hit on the board!

"Luck, it must be luck." Lillard thought to himself, and turned to look at Zhuang Yu, only to see a confident smile on his face. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. No way, he didn't deliberately shoot the three-pointer off the backboard? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Of course Zhuang Yu would not give him an explanation. He looked at Lillard with a smile, then turned around and retreated, leaving Lillard still wondering whether this ball was a coincidence.

I'm going crazy.

......

A moment later, Lillard attempted another three-pointer.

There was no pick-and-roll or tactics this time. After reaching the frontcourt, he did not pass the ball, but shot directly from one meter outside the three-point line, and shot directly towards Holiday.

However, the ball did not go in and bounced out of the frame.

Lillard cursed "Damn it" and turned around angrily to retreat, but in the next attack, he still threw a three-pointer.

boom!

Still didn't get in.

Coach Stotts couldn't stand it anymore and quickly called a timeout. Lillard had obviously lost his composure. Zhuang Yu's three-pointer off the rebound was a big blow to him.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Stotts quickly called a timeout, saying that if Lillard continued to play like this, the game would be over.

At this moment, the Trail Blazers are only trailing by a dozen points. If Lillard makes a few more shots and allows the Lakers to seize the opportunity to further widen the gap, the score should be more than 20 points.

That’s right, Lillard just shoots recklessly.

After several players came off the court, Coach Stotts replaced Lillard and then spread out the tactical board and made some arrangements.

After the timeout, Coach Stotts sat down next to Lillard and said to him: "Damian, you have to calm down."

Lillard said with a bitter face: "Yes, I was a little impulsive just now."

Coach Stotts nodded with relief, knowing that he was wrong. He patted Lillard on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. It's only the first half."

On the court, the game continues...

To the fans' surprise, the Trail Blazers played better after Lillard was substituted. Several players scored and the team actually had multiple points.

Until the end of the second quarter, the Lakers led by 16 points.

Although the score difference did not widen to more than 20 points, the 16-point difference was still large, which was very unfavorable to the Trail Blazers.

......

In a blink of an eye, the second half begins.

In the second half, the Trail Blazers sent out most of their starters, but the matchup changed. It was no longer McCollum defending Zhuang Yu, but Harkless. After all, Harkless is taller and has an advantage in defending Zhuang Yu's outside shooting.

But for the Trail Blazers, the most important thing is offense.

Lillard has regained his composure. After coming up, he stopped throwing three-pointers blindly and started to break through, scoring layups and making passes to his teammates. McCollum also played smarter, making full use of pick-and-rolls and screens, using tactics to get rid of timeouts and avoid facing Zhuang Yu. As long as he avoids Zhuang Yu, he can still score.

For a while, the Trail Blazers' offense was very successful.

However, they still couldn't defend on the defensive end.

"Shh!"

With a slight click, McCollum hit a three-pointer.

However, turning around, Zhuang Yu ran back to get the ball, then first broke through, then dribbled behind his back, pulled back to the three-point line and shot directly.

Harkless jumped up and his hand almost reached Zhuang Yu's face, blocking his vision, but the ball still went in.

......

A moment later, Zhuang Yu shot from three-point range again.

Lillard reduced his three-point shooting, but Zhuang Yu did not stop and continued to shoot three-pointers.

This was a three-pointer that was shot right after catching the ball, and it was shot facing the defender, but unfortunately the ball missed the target and bounced out of the rim.

However, a figure quickly rushed into the inside, grabbed the rebounding basketball, and quickly threw it with one hand, making a layup.

It’s Zhuang Yu again!

"Damn it."

"Why is it him again?"

"Be careful..."

On the Trail Blazers bench, a group of players shouted loudly, asking their teammates to defend better. How many points did Zhuang Yu score because of this?

It’s almost thirty, right?

No, more than 32 points, Zhuang Yu has already scored points!
