Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Chapter 1225: January ends, and we are still ranked 1rd in the West!

Now it's Kuzma's turn to suffer.

He tried his best to block the shot every time, but he couldn't reach it every time. Zhuang Yu is 198cm tall, with an excellent wingspan, and he can only make a lob shot if he has the height of Yao Ming.

Generally, lob shots are used by smaller guards, such as those who are less than 1.9 meters tall, or just over 1.9 meters tall. There are actually very few people like Zhuang Yu who are nearly 2 meters tall but still use lob shots.

Of course, it would be even more difficult to defend against a player of this height using a lob shot.

After a set of training, Zhuang Yu came to the sidelines and asked Clarkson about his shooting percentage, which was only 86 percent.

"It's still too bad." Zhuang Yu shook his head, very dissatisfied.

This is actually expected. His floaters are good, but they are far inferior to fadeaway jumpers and three-pointers. Moreover, this is not a simple training without defense, but a simulated game mode, so the hit rate will be affected.

Under this circumstance, an 86% hit rate is still very high.

But it didn't achieve Zhuang Yu's goal.

"continue......"

After resting for a while, Zhuang Yu practiced a set of lob shots, followed by three-point shooting and fadeaway jump shot training.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to put so much effort into physical training now. He just needs to maintain his normal state, which saves a lot of time.

But even so, Zhuang Yu's training time and intensity still made Clarkson and others astonished and discouraged.

The intensity is too great!

From that day on, Zhuang Yu added breakthrough and lob shooting training to his training. As his three-point shooting and fadeaway jump shot were difficult to improve, this became his new breakthrough point.

......

Soon, the Lakers rushed to the away game for the next game.

After defeating the Trail Blazers, the Lakers retained their third place in the Western Conference. The Lakers then won both of their away games and won two of three games after returning home. In contrast, the Trail Blazers only won three of their last five games.

As time went by, the gap between the two teams widened further, with the Trail Blazers falling behind the Lakers by two wins.

However, the Lakers' record is still not as good as the Rockets and Warriors.

This is not surprising.

After all, the Warriors' strength is there, and the Rockets' lineup has obviously improved, so it is inevitable that they will play well, but the Rockets have done too much well.

The Warriors, Rockets, Lakers, and Trail Blazers are the top four in the Western Conference, followed by the Thunder, Jazz, Timberwolves, and Pelicans.

Surprisingly, the Spurs are only ranked ninth in the Western Conference.

Although the regular season has only been played for a month, the Spurs were a top three team in the Western Conference last season and a championship contender, but now they are only ranked ninth in the Western Conference.

This is surprising.

You know, the core lineup of the Spurs has not changed this season.

Leonard, Aldridge, and Gasol are all there, as are Ginobili and Parker, in addition to David Lee, Mills, and Danny Green...just without Duncan, but with the addition of Rudy Gay, so logically they shouldn't lose to last season.

But the result was that they only ranked ninth in the Western Conference.

Another surprising team is the Timberwolves.

Last season, the Timberwolves were the bottom team in the Western Conference, but now they have made it into the top eight in the Western Conference, just with the addition of Jimmy Butler.

For a time, many fans began to mock Towns, Wiggins and others.

What's the use of you? You are all No. 1 picks but you have the worst record in the Western Conference. Butler came and immediately led you into the top eight in the Western Conference. This is the gap.

With all kinds of voices raging, it is said that it has affected the atmosphere of the Timberwolves, and discordant voices have been heard in the team...

......

In a blink of an eye, November is already coming to an end.

In more than a month, each team has played about 20 games. A quarter of the regular season has passed, and the record rankings are not changing as frequently as at the beginning.

But compared with last season, there are still significant changes.

"The Rockets won again."

"Yeah, I didn't expect the Rockets to be so strong this season. As long as the Warriors lose a game, the Rockets will surpass them and become number one in the Western Conference."

"Just with the addition of Paul, it feels like the Rockets are a different team. Some people doubted whether this season would be the same as last season, where they couldn't even make the playoffs. Now, they are going for the championship."

"Latest news, the Warriors lost."

"What? The Warriors actually lost to the Bucks. This shouldn't happen."

"The Rockets are now No. 1 in the Western Conference."

This side of the west.

A day ago, the Rockets defeated their opponents and tied the record with the Warriors. But this time, the Warriors lost to the Bucks. However, the Rockets defeated their opponents back to back, successfully surpassed the Warriors in the record, and finally sat on the throne of No. 1 in the Western Conference.

At the same time, at the Staples Center, the Lakers' game was coming to an end.

This was a game against the Wizards. It was already the last few minutes of the fourth quarter and the Lakers were temporarily leading by 4 points.

......

on the field.

After John Wall reached the frontcourt, he broke through and passed the ball to Bradley Beal, who made a three-pointer, narrowing the gap to just 1 point.

However, the Lakers responded with a vengeance. Zhuang Yu attacked the basket, causing the defender to foul, and made both free throws...

In the next few minutes, the two sides exchanged blows. Whenever the Wizards got close to the score, the Lakers were always able to fight back. The difference between the two sides was not big and always remained at a few points.

Until the last minute, with Holiday assisting Lopez to score 2+1, the Lakers completely killed the game.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Wizards 120:115 and won another victory.

At this time, the Lakers have played 21 games with a record of 16 wins and 5 losses, still ranking third in the Western Conference, behind the Rockets and Warriors.

The Trail Blazers are still in fourth place, the Thunder are in fifth place, the Jazz are in sixth place, there has been a change in seventh place, which has become the Pelicans, and the Timberwolves are in eighth place. The Spurs are still in ninth place, but are only one win behind the Timberwolves.

In the Eastern Conference, the Raptors are first, the Celtics are second, and the 76ers are third.

Last season, the 76ers ranked second to last in the Eastern Conference, but this season they jumped to third in the Eastern Conference, surpassing the Timberwolves and second only to the Rockets.

This is mainly due to the changes in the 76ers' lineup. The team not only signed the former Clippers sharpshooter JJ Redick, but also the team's No. 30 pick Ben Simmons returned from injury and performed very well. The team's star player Joel Embiid only played games last season due to injury. He returned from injury this season and the lineup has been significantly upgraded, so they achieved third place in the Eastern Conference.

The Cavaliers are ranked fourth in the Western Conference. Irving's departure has a great impact on the Cavaliers. Isaiah Thomas is still recovering from his injury. Although Rose has performed well, the Cavaliers' current record is still not particularly good.

Of course, as long as James is there, there will be no problem in making the playoffs.

The fifth is the Pacers, the sixth is the Bucks, the seventh is the Heat, and the eighth is the Wizards...
