Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Too fierce."

"As expected of Zhuang Yu, the face of China, 51 points in a single game, which was only possible for black players in the past. I never thought we would see this day."

"It's a pity that I didn't go to the scene. If I had known, I would have gone to watch this game even if it cost me half a year's salary. What a pity."

China.

A group of netizens were excitedly discussing the Lakers vs. Trail Blazers game in the forum, their words were full of excitement.

This is really exciting, Zhuang Yu scored 51 points in a single game!

From now on, there is a Chinese name on the list of players who score 50+ in a single game. Our Chinese players have made another great contribution to the history of the NBA.

Tang Wan browsed the posts in the forum, her lips curled up in a proud smile.

At this time, she received a message on her mobile phone. She picked it up and her eyes narrowed with laughter. She jumped up from her chair excitedly, dancing with joy: "Wow, so much money, I'm a rich woman."

This is a bank arrival notification, which is the advertising fee for the forum.

It can be said that this forum has grown step by step with the help of Zhuang Yu, and has become deeply bound to Zhuang Yu. As long as Zhuang Yu plays better in the NBA, becomes more popular, and achieves more achievements, the forum will become more active and have more traffic.

This will naturally bring Tang Wan more and more advertising revenue.

She and An Xin still split the money in half, but even if it was only half, it was already a huge sum for a student like Tang Wan. Now the balance in her card was more than the balance of Zhuang Zhihong and Jiang Qin combined.

After jumping excitedly for a while, Tang Wan picked up her phone and made a video call to An Xin.

She told An Xin that more advertising revenue had arrived, and then chatted with An Xin for a full half hour before hanging up the phone.

Returning to the forum, Tang Wan was in a good mood.

All of this advertising revenue came from the forum, and she was wondering if she should give back to the forum friends.

After some consideration, she posted a message in the forum, announcing that she would hold a lottery. Just like the previous All-Star voting lottery, she would take out some prizes and give back to the forum friends through lottery.

This time there are not only some prizes related to Zhuang Yu, such as signed basketballs, signed jerseys, sneakers, etc.

Tang Wan also purchased and customized some prizes at her own expense, such as customized water cups, refrigerator magnets, dolls, etc., in large quantities.

As soon as this post was published, the forum was in an uproar, netizens responded one after another, and the number of replies exceeded 10,000 in a very short time.

When Tang Wan looked again, she saw a string of replies "Boss, you are so awesome! Boss, I love you!", which made her laugh and cry.

......

Los Angeles, USA.

The fact that Zhuang Yu scored 51 points became a hot topic across the United States and became the focus of people's discussion. Many media also wanted to interview Zhuang Yu, but they were all turned down by Zhuang Yu.

At this time, Zhuang Yu was in the training gym.

All his teammates have left, leaving only him, Clarkson, Nance Jr., and Kuzma.

"Boss, should we practice three-pointers or fadeaway jump shots first today?" Kuzma is very servile and always fights to pass the ball to Zhuang Yu every day.

But today, Zhuang Yu waved his hand and said, "Let's not practice three-pointers and fadeaway jumpers today. Let's practice breakthroughs and floaters first."

what?

why?

Hearing this, several people were stunned. Why did it suddenly change?

Zhuang Yu did not explain, but signaled everyone to get ready and start training.

Yesterday, Zhuang Yu made 12 three-pointers in a single game and scored 51 points, but his three-pointers were not able to break the bottleneck and go further.

Obviously, neither the three-point shot nor the fadeaway jump shot could be improved in a short period of time, so he decided to work harder on other technical aspects.

Of course, three-pointers and fadeaway jump shots are still items that need to be practiced every day, but the intensity of training will be reduced, and he will free up some time for other things.

Training begins.

Zhuang Yu first focused on breakthroughs in training.

This requires Clarkson, Nance Jr., and Kuzma to cooperate with each other to simulate the help defense, double-teaming, and even multiple double-teaming in the game to complete the breakthrough finish...

For Zhuang Yu, breaking through is not a difficult task because he is very fast.

As we all know, when it comes to breakthrough skills, unless you have a tank-like body like LeBron James, the most critical thing that determines this skill is speed.

In fact, the reason why LeBron James' breakthrough is unstoppable is also related to speed.

Although he is a small forward with a height of over two meters, he is actually very fast. He is not inferior to the guards, and even faster than many guards.

This can be seen from the fact that he can often contribute chase-down blocks in the game. His running speed is not inferior to that of the guards. He can even come from behind and catch up with the guards who are already on a fast break when he is originally behind, and give the opponent a shot on the board.

As for the representative of speed, it is naturally Allen Iverson.

Iverson's breakthrough can be said to be at the NBA historical level.

There is a saying among fans that Irving can dribble past you in 100 ways, but Iverson can dribble past you 100 times in the same way!

The reason why Iverson's breakthrough was so sharp and almost unstoppable during his peak period was because his speed was simply too fast.

During the game, Iverson often only needs a simple change of direction in front of his body and then accelerate to pass the defender cleanly, or he can stop and start immediately, using the change of rhythm and instantaneous burst of speed to leave the defender behind.

This is where he is great.

Zhuang Yu is also very fast. Although he is not as fast as Iverson, who is the fastest in the entire league, he is also in the top tier of the league today.

When Zhuang Yu first entered the NBA, his jumping, explosiveness, and confrontation abilities were at a disadvantage compared to other NBA players. His only advantage was speed.

By then he was already faster than most players.

Now, more than three years have passed, and his speed is even faster than before.

If we only talk about speed, looking at the entire alliance, there are no more than three people who can match Zhuang Yu.

But what Zhuang Yu pursues is not just speed, but also technology.

With a "whoosh", Zhuang Yu suddenly changed direction and accelerated to leave Clarkson behind. Nance Jr. quickly came to the rescue and formed two lines of defense in front of Zhuang Yu together with Kuzma. However, Zhuang Yu took a step forward and suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back. He changed direction again like a butterfly flying through flowers and passed Nance Jr., leaving only Kuzma behind.

After passing two people in succession, Zhuang Yu was about to collide with Kuzma. He suddenly hooked the basketball, turned around with the ball and went around Kuzma.

This series of actions is dazzling.

Yang Jinsong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows on the sidelines and couldn't help but shout "Beautiful". Within a distance of just a few meters, Zhuang Yu could be so flexible and use his dribbling skills effortlessly, passing three defenders in a row.

This is very difficult and it is hard for ordinary people to do it.

"We can't defend against the three of us."

"I feel so ashamed, really..."

"It's okay, the boss is just too awesome."

Clarkson and the other two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh at themselves.

"okay."

Zhuang Yu rolled his eyes, threw the basketball to them, and returned to the three-point line. He said, "I think what I did just now was not good enough. Let's try again."

The three were speechless. Three in a row isn’t enough?

You have gone too far!

The reason why Zhuang Yu felt that what he did just now was not good enough was that although his speed was very fast just now, he lacked changes in rhythm. He could not just go fast all the time, but needed a combination of fast and slow.

Then, the training continued...

......

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

After the breakthrough training, Zhuang Yu leaned on his knees and gasped for breath, with sweat dripping down his chin. Clarkson and the other two were also exhausted. The key point was that they were not only physically exhausted, but also mentally exhausted. The three of them together could not defend Zhuang Yu.

This is too hurtful to one's self-esteem.

Zhuang Yu said, "Take a break. You three won't need to practice jump shots together later. Little Nance will do."

After resting for a while, Zhuang Yu continued training, this time focusing on practicing jump shots.

The reason for choosing to train breakthroughs and throws is that the combination of the two can achieve excellent results.

For example, after a breakthrough, the next step should be the end.

Of course, there are many finishing techniques, such as layups, layups, pull-ups, etc.

The reason why Zhuang Yu chose lob shots is because he is very good at them. At first, when he was practicing alone in the old basketball court, he liked to practice one-handed shooting when he had nothing to do. Over time, he developed a good one-handed ball sense. After arriving at Jiangning No. 1 Middle School, he specifically trained in lob shots.

Later, I went abroad and started playing in the NCAA. Facing those tall, long-armed, talented players who could run and jump in American universities, I had to avoid being blocked, so I used more lob shots.

Nowadays, lob shots have become one of Zhuang Yu's specialties.

Secondly, after breaking through, especially entering the three-second zone, you often need to face the backup defense of the opponent's inside players. At this time, the height difference will be very large. To avoid being blocked by these inside players, a jump shot is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

It's not enough to just be able to break through, you also have to be able to finish after breaking through, which requires combining the breakthrough with a jump shot.

Of course, Zhuang Yu could also end it in other ways.

But he thinks there is nothing better than a floater, because most other layups, pull-ups, and lobs still require hiding from defenders. But a floater, or Curry's high rebound, can be shot right in front of the defender, leaving him helpless.

Zhuang Yu can also shoot high rebounds, but he is better at lob shots.

"Shh..."

With a slight sound, the basketball obediently went into the net, and the net hardly shook.

Because it was a lob shot with a very high arc, the basketball fell almost vertically toward the basket and only touched the net a little bit.

Little Nance was a little helpless. He jumped up with all his might, his arms far above the basket, but Zhuang Yu just threw the ball towards him and he had no way to stop it.

Nance Jr. said, "Boss, why don't we switch to Kuzma?"

Zhuang Yu was surprised: "Why, are you tired?"

"No, I'm afraid my heart can't take it."

"You guy, okay, let's replace Kuzma." Zhuang Yu waved his hand, asked him to go down and let Kuzma defend.

As for Clarkson, forget it.

Not high enough!

Facing Clarkson's defense, Zhuang Yu didn't even need to shoot.
