Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

In a blink of an eye, the game has reached the last three minutes of the fourth quarter.

At this time, the score between the two sides was still tense, with the Cavaliers leading by one point.

on the field.

With a dull thud, Rose's shot missed. Lopez grabbed the rebound and passed it to Holiday, while Zhuang Yu quickly ran down.

The Cavaliers players immediately turned around to chase, but Zhuang Yu was too fast and soon left them behind. Holiday pushed the ball directly to the front court with both hands. Zhuang Yu grabbed the basketball, took a step forward, and then jumped up and made an explosive tomahawk slam dunk.

"Oh..."

The audience was boiling, and the home fans jumped up and cheered for this explosive slam dunk.

After this dunk, the Lakers once again took the lead.

And this is not the end yet. Soon, Zhuang Yu of the Lakers assisted Holiday to hit a three-pointer, widening the gap to 4 points.

Coach Tyronn Lue on the sidelines couldn't help but frown. He found that there was a problem with Rose's physical fitness. The lob shot just now was actually a good opportunity, and he would have definitely gone in in the past, but he didn't. When the Lakers counterattacked, he was unable to retreat in time.

It’s not that he is not active enough, but that he can’t run anymore.

"Hey......"

Coach Tyronn Lue sighed inwardly. He knew that physical fitness would definitely be a problem, especially for Rose and James, both of whom played for a long time today.

Not only Rose had problems with his physical fitness, but James also had problems with his physical fitness. This was most obvious on defense, where he was a little unable to keep up.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Tyronn Lue called a timeout to let the players take a break. He looked at JR Smith on the bench, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, and did not replace JR Smith.

The Cavaliers played well as a whole today, with only JR Smith performing poorly. He did not play well in the first three quarters. Will substituting him at this time have any effect?

In the previous two seasons, coach Tyronn Lue would definitely believe that he could play a role, but now he expresses doubts.

The timeout ended quickly and coach Tyronn Lue did not make any substitutions.

Just using a timeout to catch their breath will not allow James and Rose to recover their physical strength, especially Rose.

The Lakers also discovered this, so they strengthened their defense on James and Love, forcing the two to pass the ball and let other players attack.

At this time, TT and Hill were a little afraid to shoot, but Rose dared to shoot. However, due to physical problems, his offensive efficiency decreased and his hit rate also dropped significantly.

boom!

Rose's shot missed again.

Seeing this situation, James felt helpless as the score difference had been widened to 7 points.

In the next round, James reached the frontcourt and asked for the ball. He then decisively played one-on-one and attacked the basket, causing Lopez to foul. However, he only made one of two free throws.

A moment later, James grabbed the rebound and launched a quick counterattack, running to the frontcourt and going straight to the basket, and finally making a layup.

At this critical moment, we still have to rely on James. Although his physical energy is also greatly consumed, after three rounds of series, he seems to have become accustomed to playing more than 40 minutes in a game. Even at this time, his performance is still outstanding.

But every time he scored a goal, Zhuang Yu from the Lakers would definitely be able to return the favor and also score a goal on the offensive end.

This made James feel helpless.

Time passed by little by little, and the Cavaliers still couldn't catch up with the score.

In the last minute, coach Tyronn Lue called another timeout, asking the players to take a break, mainly to let James catch his breath, as they were still trailing by 5 points.

"Take a break, drink some water, and then give the ball to LeBron."

This is the arrangement made by coach Tyronn Lue. At this point, tactics have lost their meaning. He only believes in James, and they can only rely on James.

......

The pause ends.

Cavaliers ball possession.

Rose quickly pushed the ball to the frontcourt and then immediately passed it to James. The others moved out to the three-point line. TT went up to screen for James. With the help of the screen, James moved to the right, lowered his center of gravity and pretended to break through, but actually took a step back and took a three-point shot directly.

Swish!

With a soft sound, the basketball penetrated the net.

"Wow..."

“It actually went in.”

The audience was in an uproar.

The home fans were a little surprised. They didn't expect that at this time James would dare to shoot a three-pointer and make it.

Zhuang Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He had to admire James' strength and courage. Three-pointers were not James' strong point, but in such a desperate moment, he still dared to shoot three-pointers and was able to make the shot. Not many people could do that.

Lakers offense.

After arriving at the front court, Holiday looked at Zhuang Yu, who waved at him, signaling him to save time. They were still leading by two points, so they were not in a hurry.

When there were only ten seconds left in the offensive time, Zhuang Yu suddenly ran back, set a screen, and yelled back to the three-point line, asking Holiday for the ball. Holiday quickly passed the ball to him, and Zhuang Yu adjusted his steps and jumped up to shoot the moment he caught the ball.

There was no complicated tactic for this ball. He just set a screen, went back to the three-point line, received the ball and shot. However, Zhuang Yu's shot was very fast and his shot was very determined.

Even though the backup player had already rushed in front of him, Zhuang Yu paid no attention to him. He just stared straight at the basket. Then he shook his wrist and flicked his index finger. The basketball flew out, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and finally fell into the net.

"nice shot."

"Hahaha, Zhuang Yu can do three-point shots, too, and he's even better than James..."

The home fans cheered.

After Zhuang Yu made the three-pointer, the difference between the two sides returned to 5 points, and there were only twenty seconds left in the game.

At this time, the Cavaliers had no timeouts, and coach Tyronn Lue requested a substitution, replacing Rose with JR Smith.

"Isn't it a little too late to think of changing players now?" Someone shook his head, expressing confusion.

"Can't you see? The score difference is 5 points now, and there are only twenty seconds. There is not enough time for the Cavaliers. They must grab a three-pointer." The person next to him explained.

At this time, the Cavaliers must first grab a three-pointer and then use a foul tactic, so coach Tyronn Lue replaced JR Smith.

When the Cavaliers players came to the frontcourt, the ball was given to James.

James first set a pick-and-roll and then broke through to attract the defense. Love, Hill and JR Smith all stood outside the three-point line.

After James broke through, he passed the ball to Hill. Hill glanced at the basket, but the chance was not good, so he passed the ball to JR Smith.

JR Smith received the ball and jumped for a three-pointer.

boom!

However, he still missed the shot. He had been sitting on the sidelines for too long and his touch was gone.

When the three-pointer missed and the Lakers grabbed the rebound, the game had lost its meaning for the Cavaliers as there was not enough time.

However, the Cavaliers still adopted the foul tactics, but it was Zhuang Yu who fouled Zhuang Yu, which was almost equivalent to giving away points.

When Zhuang Yu stepped onto the free throw line and made both free throws, the game completely lost its suspense.

In the last minute, the Lakers conceded a goal, allowing the Cavaliers to score. The whistle to end the game sounded and the score was fixed at 126:121. The Lakers won the game with a 5-point advantage and changed the score of the finals to 2:0.

"The Cavaliers are done."

“How can we catch up when we are 0:2 behind?”

"What's the big deal? Don't forget that the Cavaliers came back from a 0:2 deficit in the Eastern Conference Finals and won the Eastern Conference championship..."

"Heh, the Eastern Conference Finals is the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Finals is the Finals. Did you forget that if Irving hadn't been injured, do you think the Cavaliers could have made it to the Finals?"

"Humph, anyway, as long as James is here, I believe the Cavaliers will be able to catch up..."

Some fans are arguing.

Some people think that with a 0:2 deficit, the Cavaliers have basically no hope of making a comeback, others think that a 0:2 deficit and a comeback has just happened in the Eastern Conference Finals, with James putting in a personal performance that was like a "God descending to earth", so why can't they do that now?

James is indeed very strong, terrifyingly strong.

In today's game, he scored 30+ again, got 38 points, plus 11 rebounds and 8 assists, but still lost in the end.

For the Lakers, Zhuang Yu scored 33 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, Lopez scored 24 points, Holiday scored 18 points, and Clarkson...

After two games, the gap in lineup has become obvious.

This is the key reason why many people are not optimistic about the Cavaliers. It is not impossible for James to make a comeback on his own, but this has happened twice before. After three rounds of series, including two game sevens, can James perform like a "God descending to earth" again?

Does his physical condition still allow it?

In the last three minutes of today's game, James' physical condition began to have problems. Although he still made three-pointers and still scored points, what about the next time, and the next time?

......

The next day, Zhuang Yu arrived at the training gym early.

The second game of the finals had just finished yesterday. There was no training scheduled for today and there was no one in the gym except him and Yang Jinsong.

"Brother Yang, please help me pass the ball." Zhuang Yu said.

He did not call Clarkson, Nance Jr., Kuzma and others because they must be very tired. If it were not for the "Eight-Shape Health Exercise" and Yang Jinsong's medicinal wine massage, Zhuang Yu would not have the energy to come to the gym, and he came here just to shoot shots today.

The previous medicinal wine had been used up long ago, and later Yang Jinsong had someone send some more from his hometown. The medicinal wine massage no longer had any effect on Zhuang Yu's physical condition, but it was still useful in combination with the "Eight-Form Health-Preserving Exercises" to help him recover faster after the game.

"Okay." Yang Jinsong agreed and started passing the ball to Zhuang Yu.

Today, Zhuang Yu did not practice three-point shooting, but fadeaway jump shots, mainly mid-range fadeaway jump shots...
