Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Sure enough, after three quarters, the scores of both teams were actually tied."

"Today's game was really thrilling..."

"I have to say that both teams played very well today. I felt that even in the fourth quarter, the winner might not be decided until the last two minutes."

"Do you think it will be like the first game, with another overtime?"

“This is really possible.”

During the intermission, fans in the stands were discussing excitedly.

Both teams played extremely well in today's game and the score gap between the two sides was never widened.

At this point, the scores of both sides were tied, and they were back on the same starting line, making the fourth quarter of the game even more confusing.

Fans all believe that this game will not be easily decided. Even in the fourth quarter, the outcome will most likely be decided in the last three minutes or even the last two minutes.

Some fans also think that there may be overtime today.

The two teams went into overtime in the first game of the series, and the Warriors won in the end.

Amid the fans' discussion, the fourth quarter officially began.

The players of both teams returned to the court and played with the rotation lineups. The Lakers played with Holiday and Clarkson and several substitutes, while the Warriors played with Klay and Draymond Green, as well as Iguodala, Livingston, and David West.

The game progressed just as the fans expected. The two sides were still evenly matched and neither was able to widen the score, but the Lakers had a slight advantage.

The head coaches of both teams were not surprised at all and were just making preparations silently, because they all knew that the last few minutes were crucial.

Soon, a few minutes into the fourth quarter, the Lakers were leading by 4 points.

Coach Kerr frowned and pondered for a moment, and finally decided to make a substitution.

First, Curry was substituted in, forming a lineup of one big and four small players, consisting of Curry, Klay, Draymond Green, Iguodala, and David West.

As soon as the Warriors made a substitution, the Lakers also made one immediately.

Coach Scott replaced both Anderson and Lopez.

He was not in a hurry to let Zhuang Yu and Korver play. He hoped that Zhuang Yu could rest for two more minutes and retain enough physical strength to play a role in the final critical moment. As for Korver, because of his age, his physical strength was not as good as that of young people.

After the substitution, Curry returned to the court and made a tactical cooperation with Draymond Green and Klay.

Curry first broke through with the help of Draymond Green's pick-and-roll, and then passed the ball to Draymond Green at the same time.

Klay ran along the three-point line, Draymond Green passed the ball to Klay, and Klay took a three-point shot as soon as he received the ball.

With a clear sound, the basketball went into the net.

With this three-pointer, the difference between the two sides became one point again.

The home fans all frowned. Zhuang Yu was not on the court at the moment, and they were a little worried.

Fortunately, after coming to the frontcourt, Holiday scored a one-on-one against Curry. He broke through directly and found a confrontation, pushed Curry away, and then made a jump shot.

In the next few rounds, the Lakers were unable to defend the "Splash Brothers" on the offensive end, but fortunately Clarkson and Holiday still performed very well.

After Holiday defeated Curry one-on-one, he grabbed a frontcourt rebound and scored on the second attack. Clarkson received a pass from his teammate on the outside and hit a difficult three-pointer. The two of them scored a total of seven points to help the Lakers stabilize the situation.

But this is obviously not enough, the Splash Brothers' firepower is too strong.

After a while, the Lakers' original lead was quickly eroded and the Warriors took the lead again.

"Coach." Assistant coach Madsen frowned.

"I know." Coach Scott looked at Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu stood up and nodded confidently.

Coach Scott smiled and said, "Zhuang Yu, and Korver, you two should get ready and go on the court later."

The fourth quarter was not even halfway through at this point, but Coach Scott had not planned to make substitutions according to the routine in today's game.

This is a battle of life and death, so we don’t care about the time.

Since Zhuang Yu thinks there is no problem, let’s go ahead.

Soon, the Lakers made substitutions, replacing Clarkson and Nance Jr. with Zhuang Yu and Korver.

Seeing that the Lakers had put out their starting lineup, Coach Kerr frowned and decided to replace Durant. It was time to fight to the death.

......

"Both sides have sent out their strongest lineups."

"It's time to decide the winner."

In the audience stands, the fans were very excited, knowing that it was time to fight and decide the outcome, so they all stood up and shouted loudly towards the field.

At this time, no one sits down because you can't see the game if you sit down, except for those sitting on the sidelines and in the private rooms.

Zhou An excitedly shouted "Come on Lakers", Xiao Qingyang next to him was also a little excited, while Yao Ming looked very calm, but his eyes were fixed on the court without blinking.

Kobe, who was not far away, was also staring at the court without blinking. As a Lakers legend and Zhuang Yu's elder brother, he naturally hoped that the Lakers could win this seventh game.

......

on the field.

The game continues...

Lakers offense.

After Holiday arrived at the frontcourt, he saw Zhuang Yu reaching for the ball. He passed the ball without hesitation and signaled to his teammates to pull the man away.

Several players moved away to let Zhuang Yu play alone.

Several Warriors players were staring at Zhuang Yu, but they did not double-team him at this time. Klay was still responsible for defending Zhuang Yu, but Draymond Green was also staring at Zhuang Yu. As long as Zhuang Yu made any move, he would pounce on him immediately and double-team him together with Klay.

At this time, we must rely on the stars.

Therefore, the Warriors cannot relax their defense against Zhuang Yu.

Seeing that the other party was so fearful, Zhuang Yu narrowed his eyes. There was no panic in his eyes, only a sharp light and immense self-confidence.

If it was before his breakthrough in three-point shooting, he might have been a little cautious and worried, but not now.

In the past six games, Zhuang Yu's three-point shooting has been excellent, averaging 7 three-pointers per game, which can be said to be very exaggerated.

Even more three-pointers than Curry has made.

This does not mean that Zhuang Yu’s three-point shooting ability is better than Curry’s. He is probably on par with Curry. It’s just that he is taller and has better physical fitness than Curry, so his shooting efficiency is higher than Curry.

Just imagine, if Curry was 198cm tall and had excellent jumping and explosive power, would his three-point shooting ability be even more terrifying?

This is inevitable.

"laugh......"

There was a slight sound, which was the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor.

Zhuang Yu suddenly changed direction and accelerated, breaking through to the left, Klay quickly moved sideways, and Draymond Green immediately rushed over. However, before he could complete the double-team, Zhuang Yu suddenly stepped back, and Klay immediately flew forward. Zhuang Yu did not hesitate, and after stepping back, he jumped up to meet Klay's flying pounce.

A flick of the wrist.

Swish!

The ball went in, and it was still a three-pointer.

"Roar......"

In the audience stands, the fans cheered excitedly, and Zhuang Yu’s fans were even more excited. What is a Ball Planet? This is the Ball Planet.

This is the strength of a superstar and scoring champion.

Several Warriors players looked at each other and frowned. Durant patted his chest. After reaching the frontcourt, he ran back to get the ball and signaled his teammates to move away.

Durant played one-on-one, and the Lakers used help defense instead of double-teaming him because the opponent also had Curry and Klay.

Durant took a step forward, lowered his right shoulder, and pretended to break through to the right, but then he changed direction in front of his body with a huge amplitude.

"Assist in defense." Zhuang Yu shouted.

His teammates immediately rushed over to help Korver defend. However, they were unable to stop Durant, who suddenly accelerated after the change of direction, with a very large step, and stepped over Korver and the assisting player, broke into the paint, jumped up, and hit the rebound.

Durant fired back.

In the next few rounds, Zhuang Yu and Durant started to compete...

After hitting the three-pointer, Zhuang Yu broke through again, causing the Warriors to foul. He made both free throws. Then he ran back to get the ball, used his teammates' screens and pick-and-rolls to get rid of the defense, and immediately shot after receiving the pass, hitting another three-pointer.

The Warriors players were actually mentally prepared for this ball. Zhuang Yu did not completely get rid of the defense, and Durant pounced on him immediately.

It's just that Zhuang Yu's shot was extremely difficult. He shot right after receiving the ball, and it was a fadeaway three-pointer. It looked very exaggerated, and it was impossible for Durant to block it.

Swish!

Moreover, the goal was scored.

"Damn it."

“He scored again.”

On the Warriors bench, a group of players were very upset. Zhuang Yu had already scored 8 points in such a short period of time. It was horrible.

At this time, every point is extremely critical, let alone eight points.

In the audience stands, fans were discussing excitedly.

"too strong."

"It's simply unstoppable. The shot was too fast, not slower than Curry or Klay's, and it was a fadeaway. Durant has already defended to the extreme. If it were an ordinary person, even if he wasn't blocked, he would definitely be disturbed. After all, Durant is very tall. But Zhuang Yu's three-pointer... is unstoppable."

"People say Durant and LeBron are unstoppable players. I think Zhuang Yu is similar. His three-point shot is unstoppable. With a height of nearly two meters, extremely fast shooting speed, and a beautiful fadeaway, how can anyone defend against him?"

"No way to prevent..."

People were amazed and said there was no solution.

Several Warriors players also had the same thought in their hearts. They felt helpless and there was really no solution.

Durant's unsolvable problem is that his height and wingspan are too exaggerated. Zhuang Yu is not as tall as Durant, but he is 198cm tall, taller than Curry and about the same height as Klay. However, he is faster and more comprehensive than Klay. He can not only shoot, but also break through.

In the next round, Durant returned the favor with the same unstoppable singles, a jump shot, and a three-pointer, which left the Lakers helpless as well.

But turning around, Zhuang Yu scored another goal, this time it was a breakthrough...
