Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"beep......"

The referee blew the whistle and called a defensive foul.

The shot didn't go in, but Harden had to go to the free throw line and take two free throws.

In the audience stands, the home fans shouted angrily and booed.

"Damn it, it's the same trick again. It's so disgusting."

"What did the referee call? This is clearly a fake foul. Harden should have been called for a technical foul. Zhuang didn't even move."

"Protest, protest..."

This trick of Harden is not new, he has used it many times.

As a master of spoofing who gets up at 4 a.m. and memorizes the rules, Harden's spoofing skills have reached perfection. If it were another person in the same situation, they would either force a shot and miss, or pass the ball, but Harden created a foul.

Zhuang Yu shook his head. He actually let Harden commit a foul. He was too upright and did not expect Harden to use this trick.

Amidst the boos, Harden stepped up to the free throw line and made both free throws.

On the offensive end, the home fans shouted wildly, asking Zhuang Yu to play one-on-one against Harden. They must fight back and punish Harden. It was disgusting.

Zhuang Yu ran back to get the ball, Harden stepped forward and defended relatively forward. He didn't dare to let Zhuang Yu shoot a three-pointer.

Upon seeing this situation, Zhuang Yu immediately changed direction and accelerated. Harden hurriedly retreated, but his defense was not his strong point, especially his lateral speed. Zhuang Yu overtook him by half a body length. However, Harden was prepared and immediately moved sideways to Zhuang Yu.

At the same time, Capela took a step forward and prepared to provide backup defense.

However, Zhuang Yu had no intention of attacking the basket. When Harden turned sideways, Zhuang Yu suddenly stood up and made a quick stop and fadeaway jump shot, taking advantage of Harden's short height. He shot towards Harden, who stretched out his arms but couldn't reach it at all.

He didn't dare to dive too hard, as he was a master of drawing fouls and was well aware of the risks involved. But then a "swish" sound came from behind him.

Harden knew the ball went in.

He was a little depressed and helpless at the same time. He was still a little short of height compared to Zhuang Yu, and Zhuang Yu's three-point threat was too great. However, once he defended too far forward, he would be easily passed by Zhuang Yu, and was completely passive on the defensive end.

"nice shot."

"Zhuang Yu did a great job, that's how you fight."

After several rounds, Zhuang Yu and Harden exchanged blows, but neither of them could gain an advantage.

Coach D'Antoni was not satisfied with this. He quickly called a timeout and made new arrangements.

When the timeout came back, the person defending Zhuang Yu was no longer Harden, but Ariza, who was taller and had better defensive skills.

Coach D'Antoni's intention is very simple, which is to prevent Harden from facing off against Zhuang Yu on the defensive end, so as not to waste too much energy on defense and focus on offense.

As for Zhuang Yu, Ariza will take over and mainly defend outside shooting, while Capela will provide backup defense in the interior.

This really worked. Ariza's defense was obviously better, forcing Zhuang Yu to break through, and Capela was able to make timely backup.

At this time, Zhuang Yu had to pass the ball to the outside. Although other Lakers players could score, at least Zhuang Yu was not allowed to score easily...

"Shh!"

There was another slight sound, and Harden stepped back and made a three-pointer.

This time he used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Zhuang Yu's defense. After creating a mismatch, Harden stepped back and hit a three-pointer. Before he knew it, his personal score had reached double digits.

The Rockets players jumped up excitedly and cheered loudly.

Some Rockets fans also shouted excitedly: "Who is the best player? Who is it now?"

“Who is the MVP?”

"Harden, Harden..."

Although there were not many Rockets fans, the noise they made at this moment was particularly harsh, making the home fans angry.

There were boos and shouts everywhere.

The huge sound spread across the field and reached the ears of the players.

Holiday, Lopez and others couldn't help but look at Zhuang Yu, but Zhuang Yu just smiled indifferently and waved at them, not looking angry.

However, when he came to the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu took the initiative to ask for the ball, and then played against Ariza. He first dribbled the ball between his legs, then suddenly accelerated. Ariza hurriedly retreated, but Zhuang Yu suddenly stopped and raised his center of gravity. Ariza secretly cried out "not good", subconsciously tiptoed and raised his hands.

But he was fooled.

Zhuang Yu did not shoot, it was just a fake move, and then he accelerated and passed Ariza.

Behind, Capela took a step forward and hurried to defend.

However, he could only watch the basketball fly over his head. Zhuang Yu's shot was a lob with a very high arc, so high that Capela didn't even try to block it.

But there was no sound behind him, which made Capela a little confused. Did it go in or not?

He turned his head and saw the basketball bouncing on the floor with no one trying to grab it. He immediately realized that the ball must have gone in.

But why is there no sound at all?

This is because the arc of the shot was too high and the basketball fell almost vertically into the net, so there was no sound of it penetrating the net.

"nice shot."

"Come on, Zhuang Yu, you are the best player!"

"Get rid of Harden..."

The home fans cheered loudly.

On the other side, Harden frowned and his eyes became more fierce. After coming to the frontcourt, he tried to play one-on-one with Zhuang Yu, but he found that Zhuang Yu was defending his left side and would not let him go to the left.

As we all know, Harden is a left-handed player, and his breakthroughs are mostly from the left side, so Zhuang Yu specifically defends the left side and does not give him a comfortable breakthrough.

Of course, players at Harden's level are very coordinated with both hands, and he can also break through from the right side, but because it is not his dominant hand, the finish will be a bit awkward.

The next moment, Harden changed direction and broke through to the right. He took a step forward, hugged the ball and tried to find confrontation, knocking Zhuang Yu away.

But it was a mistake.

Zhuang Yu did not confront him, but took a step back, causing Harden's powerful attack to miss, and he almost walked due to inertia. He had no choice but to throw the ball with one hand in a hurry, and the basketball bounced on the basket and fell out again.

Kyle Anderson grabbed the rebound, but Zhuang Yu had already made a quick move. Kyle Anderson pushed the ball with both hands and made a long pass to the frontcourt.

"Follow."

"Damn..."

someone yelled.

Zhuang Yu was seen running quickly to the frontcourt. Several Rockets players tried hard to catch up with him, but they were soon left behind. They could only watch Zhuang Yu rush to the frontcourt. He stepped into the three-point line and the free throw line, then grabbed the basketball, pushed his left foot on the floor, and jumped up.

"Wow..."

The audience was in an uproar.

At this time, Zhuang Yu had only taken one step towards the free throw line, which was only about fifty centimeters away, and was still a long distance away from the basket, but he actually jumped up.

Zhuang Yu was seen gliding in the air, grabbing the basketball with his right hand, and slamming it hard into the basket...
