Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Hey......"

Yang Jinsong pushed with both hands, but the first ball went astray, which made him feel embarrassed because he practiced martial arts, not a basketball player.

Although he had been with Zhuang Yu for such a long time and had some basic knowledge through learning from him, he did not have much talent for basketball.

The ball went astray as soon as it was thrown, and it went astray by more than one meter.

However, Zhuang Yu quickly moved sideways, stretched out his left hand to grab the basketball, and without any adjustment, he just pulled up and threw the ball out.

Swish!

There was a soft sound and the ball was scored.

"Can we get in here?"

Yang Jinsong breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he didn't have to worry about the transmission being bad.

Anyway, Zhuang Yu can always catch it.

Thinking in this way, Yang Jinsong's passing became much more casual.

There is no need to deliberately find a specific angle. Just point at Zhuang Yu and throw it. It doesn't matter if you throw it a little to the left or a little to the right, with a little more force or a little less force.

Zhuang Yu didn't care at all. He was able to catch even some balls that were extremely off-center. He didn't make any adjustments at all. He would jump up and shoot immediately after receiving the ball. If the shot was closer, he would step back. If the shot was farther, he would directly shoot a three-pointer.

For a moment, Zhuang Yu's movements were varied, and he used all kinds of weapons, which dazzled Yang Jinsong.

If you shoot like this, your hit rate will probably be worrying.

Yang Jinsong couldn't help but worry, but the result surprised him. Although his pass was not standard and Zhuang Yu's shot was a bit too casual and extremely difficult, the basketball would always obediently go into the net every time, as if it had its own satellite positioning.

This made Yang Jinsong a little dumbfounded. Zhuang Yu's three-point shot today was too accurate, it was simply abnormally accurate.

The step-back three-pointer, the lateral three-pointer, the super long three-pointer, the sideways three-pointer...all of them went in. He looked up at the basket and there seemed to be nothing wrong with the basket. It was the same as usual, not as wide as the Pacific Ocean, right?

The basket naturally did not change, but Zhuang Yu's shooting became more accurate.

Every time Zhuang Yu shot, he could feel that the basketball was at his fingertips, as if it had become a part of his body and had a wonderful connection with him.

No matter how far away from the basket, no matter what posture he uses to shoot the ball, he has the confidence to make the shot.

Of course, this is just training at this time, and there is no defender to interfere, so the hit rate is much higher.

However, such a high hit rate not only surprised Yang Jinsong, but also Zhuang Yu himself. His three-point shooting rate was very high during his normal training, and he would also increase the difficulty for himself in different ways. As the difficulty increased, the hit rate would also decrease.

But today is a little different.

Originally, Yang Jinsong's passing was not standard, which made it much more difficult for Zhuang Yu to receive the ball and adjust his shot. On this basis, he was still consciously increasing the difficulty for himself.

But even so, his hit rate is still very high.

This is somewhat unusual.

......

"Shh!"

There was another soft sound, and the basketball went into the net.

Zhuang Yu finally stopped, looked at Yang Jinsong and asked, "How many did I score?"

Yang Jinsong opened his mouth in disbelief, and stammered, "It seems like... it should be 98, yes, that's 98."

This is a bit too outrageous.

You know, professional players have a very high three-point shooting percentage during training. It is not surprising that some outstanding three-point shooters have a hit rate of over 90% during training, or even over 95%.

For example, Curry and Klay have both shot over 95% from three-point range during training, and more than once.

But that was regular training, that is, regular shooting, without any added difficulty. As the difficulty increases, the hit rate tends to decrease, and it becomes very difficult to reach more than 95%, even during training.

However, just now, Zhuang Yu still achieved a 98% three-point shooting rate despite the increasing difficulty, which is a bit outrageous.

"98? It seems like I only missed two." Zhuang Yu's eyes lit up and he was very satisfied with his performance.

This was arguably his best training performance ever.

After a short break, Zhuang Yu returned to the three-point line and shouted to Yang Jinsong, "Come again."

His hit rate was still very high this time, but it was slightly lower than before. In the end, he made 100 of the last 94 three-pointers, which was already very impressive.

Zhuang Yu stopped, propped up his knees and gasped: "I missed 6 shots this time."

Yang Jinsong said: "Maybe you are too tired, after all, you just finished a game." In fact, he thought that Zhuang Yu's 94 shots in this round were already very impressive.

After all, this is a difficult training, not a regular shot.

And the consumption of physical energy is also a problem. Zhuang Yu just finished a game and just took a round of three-point shooting. It is normal for the hit rate to drop in the second round with the consumption of physical energy, not to mention that the drop is not much.

"Come again."

However, Zhuang Yu did not intend to stop there. After a short rest, he threw another round.

This time, the purpose was to verify whether my shooting percentage had become higher and more stable compared to before when I was quite tired.

As a result, he only made 90 shots in this round, which means a hit rate of 90%.

Compared with the second round, there has been an obvious decline, but it still remains above 2%, which is very rare.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Zhuang Yu supported himself on his knees and gasped for breath, but a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He can already be sure that he has indeed broken through the bottleneck, and his three-point shooting ability has indeed reached a higher level and improved.

Of course, at his level, it is impossible for him to improve drastically all at once.

After all, his three-point shooting percentage in normal training has remained above 90%. Even if it improves further, it is impossible for it to soar directly to 100%.

People are not machines, there can be no errors.

When one reaches Zhuang Yu's level, it is extremely difficult to improve even a little bit. Some people may work hard for several months or even years but still find it difficult to improve even one percentage point.

However, Zhuang Yu's score increased by 2-3 percentage points.

This is undoubtedly a transformation.

Moreover, even when he was very tired and used extremely difficult shooting movements, his hit rate still remained above 90%, and his stability was significantly improved compared to before.

You know, Zhuang Yu hasn't made any significant improvements for a long time.

"It seems that my three-point shooting ability has indeed improved, but I don't know how it compares to Curry, and how it will perform in the game?"

This is training after all, not a competition.

Although he has an extremely high hit rate and is extremely stable, and his three-point shooting ability has indeed improved, it will take time to verify how he performs in the game and how he compares to historical three-point shooters like Curry.

However, Zhuang Yu himself feels that he should not be worse than Curry.

......

At the same time, the outside world is still talking about the game that ended today.

Today, there are not only games between the Lakers and Warriors, but also two Game 7s in the Eastern Conference, Cavaliers vs. Pacers, and Celtics vs. Bucks.

最终是骑士队以105:101击败步行者队，凯尔特人队则是以112:96击败雄鹿队，双双晋级东部季后赛第2轮。

The two tiebreakers were certainly exciting and thrilling.

But the most talked about is the "Lakers-Warriors Battle" in the West.

"Sure enough, the Warriors won."

"I knew the Warriors would win. They are too strong and invincible. I just didn't expect the process to be so thrilling and go into overtime. Fortunately, Curry made a buzzer-beater with a three-pointer. Now that the Warriors have won the first game, the situation will only become more unfavorable for the Lakers."

"I feel like there will probably be five or six games. Although the Lakers are also a strong team, the Warriors will most likely advance."

"The outcome of this series will be revealed in the next game. As long as the Warriors can win the next game, they will basically win this series."

"The Warriors will definitely go all out in the next game, and the chances of winning are very high. After all, it's impossible for Zhuang Yu to play 43+9+7 again. It's okay if such gorgeous data happens once, but how can it happen twice in a row?"

Although the Lakers played very well in this game, the Warriors won in the end. Result-oriented thinking is a common phenomenon. Many people are increasingly optimistic about the Warriors and even think that the Warriors will win Game 2 of the series. As long as they win Game 2 of the series, it will be basically impossible for the Lakers to turn the tables.

In fact, not only the fans think so, but some Warriors players also think so. As long as they win the second game of the series, the outcome will be decided.

And in their opinion, winning Game 2 of the series is a high probability event.

They will try their best to perform better, but the Lakers have already played to their best and can't do any better.

But they didn't know that Zhuang Yu's three-point shooting ability had improved again.

......

The playoffs continue.

The first game of the series between the Lakers and the Warriors came to an end, and the two seventh-round games in the Eastern Conference also had their results. Then another matchup in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs also kicked off.

Rockets vs. Thunder.

Some people are actually optimistic about the Thunder. After all, the Thunder has the Big Three. Although their regular season record is not satisfactory, the playoffs are the stage for stars. The Thunder with the Big Three can restrain the Rockets to some extent.

Especially on the front line, the Thunder clearly had the upper hand.

When the game started, Harden and Paul of the Rockets performed very well, especially Harden, who was almost unstoppable on the offensive end.

Westbrook and George of the Thunder also played well, but Anthony's performance was somewhat disappointing.

After the game, Paul George of the Thunder scored 30 points, Westbrook also scored 26 points, plus 11 rebounds and 8 assists, but Anthony only scored 11 points.

Harden of the Rockets scored 41 points, plus 8 rebounds and 7 assists. Paul, Capela and Tucker all performed well. They played in many places and finally defeated the Thunder 116:109 to win the first game of the series.

Just the day after this game, the second game of the "Lakers vs. Warriors" came...
