Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Requesting a timeout."

Stokes' coach quickly called a timeout. He looked at the time and saw that only three minutes had passed in the second quarter.

Obviously, the substitutes did not complete the task he assigned to them. The score difference was widened to 6 points. The key point was that only three minutes had passed in the second quarter, and it was not yet time for him to replace the main players. But now he had to replace the main players, otherwise the score difference might be further widened.

We played very well in the first quarter because we were always ahead in the score, but if we fell behind by too much, it would not only be a matter of score difference, but also a blow to the morale of the Trail Blazers.

"Substitution..."

Coach Stotts began to make substitutions.

He hesitated for a moment and did not replace Lillard and McCollum together, but instead replaced McCollum and Nurkic first.

With one inside and one outside, the offense should be improved with the two of them on the court.

But the Lakers also changed players.

After this substitution, the Lakers' lineup became Rose, Clarkson, Zhuang Yu, Nance Jr., and Zubac, while the Trail Blazers' lineup became CJ McCollum, Seth Curry, Evan Turner, Maurice Harkless, and Nurkic.

Seeing the Lakers replace Zhuang Yu, Coach Stotts couldn't help but frowned, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did nothing.

He planned to take a look first.

At the same time, Coach Scott also stood up. He stood on the sidelines with his arms folded, also staring at the court. It was not that he had no confidence in this lineup, but he wanted to see what the combination of Rose + Clarkson + Zhuang Yu was like.

The Trail Blazers attack.

Seth Curry was responsible for holding the ball and advancing. After taking the ball from the backcourt, he quickly came to the frontcourt. He looked at McCollum, then immediately passed the ball to McCollum, starting the attack from McCollum. Seth Curry walked to the three-point line in the left corner.

As Stephen Curry's younger brother, although Seth Curry's talent is not as good as Stephen Curry, he has also developed a beautiful three-point shot and is also a three-point shooter.

at the same time.

McCollum held the ball, Zhuang Yu stepped forward to block McCollum, McCollum held the ball at his waist, looked at Zhuang Yu, frowned slightly, and gestured to his teammates. Nurkic came up to screen and McCollum took the opportunity to get rid of it.

The Lakers here.

Zubac quickly stepped forward to delay, and when McCollum saw that it was Zubac, he immediately played one-on-one without hesitation, with a series of crotch dribbles and then suddenly accelerated.

Zubac's steps were a little messy, and he could no longer move sideways to block the position, so he could only turn around and prepare to chase.

However, the next moment, McCollum pulled the ball back with his backhand, took a step back, and randomly jumped up for a mid-range shot.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

After this goal, the score difference between the two sides became 4 points.

There was a cheer from the bench of the Kai'er team, and Coach Stotts couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile.

In terms of substitute lineup and bench depth, they are indeed not as good as the Lakers, but the strength of the main lineup is still very strong, especially McCollum and Lillard.

Both of them performed very well today.

......

Turning around, the Lakers attacked.

After Rose pushed the ball to the frontcourt, he looked at Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu was not in a hurry to get the ball, but gestured to him. Rose understood and began to organize the offense, also breaking through with a pick-and-roll, and then passed the ball to Clarkson.

Zhuang Yu was lurking outside the three-point line on the right, serving as a three-point shooting point while attracting defense and creating space for Clarkson.

Clarkson broke through after getting the ball, but Nurkic quickly returned to the three-second zone, like a human wall blocking there. Clarkson hesitated for a moment and chose to shoot towards Nurkic.

boom!

The ball failed to score, Nurkic grabbed the rebound and passed it to McNamee, who immediately launched a counterattack, broke through the frontcourt and passed the ball to Evan Turner. Turner raised the ball, made a fake shot, and then passed it to Seth Curry.

At this time, Clarkson was facing Seth Curry. Clarkson was quite upset that he failed to score the ball just now. When he saw Seth Curry holding up the ball, he subconsciously jumped up to block the shot, but Seth Curry did not shoot directly.

It was just a fake move. He dribbled the ball to the side one step after a fake move and then jumped up again.

Swish!

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

As a result, the Trail Blazers scored 5 points in a row, and the gap between the two sides was quickly narrowed to only one point.

"Only one point left."

"Clarkson didn't play very calmly in these two rounds."

"It doesn't matter if you can't score, but you must defend well..."

The home fans in the audience shook their heads, somewhat depressed.

At this time, Zhuang Yu came to the front court. When Rose pushed the ball over, Zhuang Yu ran back and asked for the ball from Rose. Rose immediately passed the ball to Zhuang Yu. The two exchanged glances, and Rose gestured to his teammates, signaling everyone to move away and let Zhuang Yu play alone.

At this time, as the team's ace player and team leader, Zhuang Yu must stand up.

The person defending Zhuang Yu at this time was Evan Turner, who was 201 cm tall, with his hands open and eyes fixed on Zhuang Yu, launching a pressure defense and physical confrontation with Zhuang Yu. However, Zhuang Yu did not care, as his physical confrontation was no less than that of any guard, even a small forward.

Zhuang Yu first pushed Evan Turner with his shoulder to gain some space, then suddenly accelerated and instantly passed Turner by more than half a body length.

"not good."

Turner's heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned sideways, shouting at his teammates to help defend.

Nurkic moved forward to provide defensive support, while Maurice Harkless retreated to the inside, because once Nurkic rushed forward, the inside would be left open, and he needed to help Nurkic fill the position.

However, Zhuang Yu did not choose to pass the ball. After passing Turner by most of his body length, he paused slightly, then accelerated again, stopped and started quickly, completely leaving Turner behind, and then jumped up to face Nurkic who was rushing towards him, and made a mid-range fade away.

Swish!

Also enter.

"It's beautiful."

"This fadeaway is so smooth, it's exactly like Kobe's."

The home fans cheered.

After this goal was scored, the difference between the two sides became 3 points.

Several Trail Blazers players looked at each other and couldn't help but frown, because Zhuang Yu seemed to be about to start scoring mode.

On the offensive end, the ball was once again given to McCollum, who also called for a pick-and-roll and then tried to break through. But this time he didn't get a chance, Zubac's delay was timely, and Nance quickly shrank the defense and began to block him.

For a moment, McCollum hesitated, and in this moment of hesitation, Zhuang Yu had already bypassed Nurkic and stood in front of McCollum again.

McCollum had no choice but to pass the ball to Seth Curry.

After two more passes, the Trail Blazers still couldn't find a chance to shoot, and the ball returned to McCollum's hands.

This was McCollum choosing to force the shot because there was no time left.

I saw him first changing direction continuously under his hips, then suddenly accelerating, taking a step forward and then stopping, making a quick stop jump shot.

However, his intention had already been seen through by Zhuang Yu, who took the lead and jumped up, raising one arm high to block McCollum's shooting space. McCollum's heart trembled, and he could only speed up his shooting to avoid being blocked.

boom!

The ball was interfered with and bounced out of the basket.

"Shit." McCollum cursed angrily.

Zubac grabbed the rebound and passed it to Rose under the basket. The Lakers quickly launched a counterattack. Zhuang Yu and Clarkson had already rushed to the frontcourt. After Rose dribbled forward two steps, he pushed with both hands without waiting to cross the center line and passed the ball directly to Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu got the ball, but did not rush towards the basket. Instead, he stepped on the brakes, stopped outside the three-point line, and made a three-pointer.

"not good."

"It happened."

The Trail Blazers players' hearts skipped a beat and they all looked at the basketball, only to see it spinning towards the basket and finally hitting the target accurately.

For some reason, they were not surprised at all.

With this three-pointer, the Lakers extended their lead to 6 points again.

Coach Stotts frowned on the sidelines. He looked at Lillard sitting on the bench, hesitating whether to substitute Lillard. But after a moment of hesitation, he decided to wait a little longer as it had just been a short time since the substitution.

However, after waiting for more than a minute, the gap between the two sides further widened.

In more than a minute, the Trail Blazers scored a goal, but it was not from McCollum. Facing Zhuang Yu's defense, McCollum was struggling.

On the other hand, for the Lakers, Zhuang Yu made a wonderful pass after scoring 5 points in a row, assisting Clarkson to hit a three-pointer. He then grabbed the rebound on the defensive end and made a long pass to the frontcourt, assisting Rose to score a layup.

After a while, the difference between the two sides became 9 points.

"Requesting a timeout."

Seeing that the score difference was about to reach double digits, Coach Stotts finally could not sit still anymore and quickly called a timeout. He scolded several players with a sullen face and then changed the starting lineup.

After the break, both sides made personnel rotations.

The Trail Blazers replaced their starting lineup.

The Lakers did not completely replace their starting lineup. The lineup on the field was Rose, Holiday, Zhuang Yu, Anderson, and Nance Jr.

This lineup seemed a bit strange and confused Coach Stotts.

what's the situation?

It's not surprising to replace Holiday and Anderson, but why didn't Korver and Lopez play? Also, what is this, one big and four small, or five small?

Lillard, McCollum and other players were also a little surprised, and then they became annoyed. Does the Lakers look down on us? We are all in the starting lineup, but they are still in the rotation lineup. They really don’t take us seriously, right?

Deceiving too much!

Humph, you will pay the price for your arrogance.
