Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Lillard was very annoyed by the Lakers' behavior and felt looked down upon, so when he returned to the court he immediately went for a one-on-one.

The person facing Lillard at this time is Rose.

Lillard laughed. If it was Holiday, he might find it more troublesome, but Rose, haha...

After Lillard reached the frontcourt, he gestured to the others to move away. He played against Rose alone, first with a series of crossover steps, and then suddenly accelerated.

Rose quickly moved sideways and retreated. Lillard had a smile on his face. Suddenly, he stopped and started quickly, bursting with amazing speed, and passed Rose in an instant.

In his prime, Rose was known for his speed and explosiveness, especially his speed, which was the best in the league.

In a 2014 U.S. men's basketball game, Rose took the ball from the backcourt and rushed to the frontcourt to complete a layup. He only dribbled the ball three times during the entire process. Irving was chasing him hard, but he couldn't even smell the exhaust.

He dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt in just three dribbles and completed the layup.

What a terrifying speed! Before anyone could even react, the fast break was already over.

However, Rose no longer has the speed and explosiveness he once had. Facing Lillard's sudden stop and start, he was unable to keep up and was completely passed by Lillard.

Nance Jr. quickly stepped forward to make up for the defense, but still failed to stop Lillard. Lillard jumped towards Nance Jr., found a confrontation in the air, and then hit the rebound.

"nice shot."

Lillard scored right away, causing the Trail Blazers bench to cheer. They jumped up one after another and cheered loudly for Lillard.

Lillard raised his head proudly, turned around and ran to his own half, and did not forget to make a silence gesture to the court, because at this moment there was a deafening booing from the audience.

Lakers offense.

The score difference between the two sides became 7 points. After coming to the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu did not attack by himself, but made a gesture to his teammates. He first took the ball to attract the defense, and then passed the ball to Anderson, while the others moved quickly.

After several passes, the basketball was given to Holiday, who had a chance to shoot, but failed to make it.

Turn around.

Lillard quickly advanced to the frontcourt and called for a pick-and-roll breakthrough. This time he did not go straight to the basket because the Lakers had tightened their defense.

But Lillard didn't care. He passed the ball to McCollum, who faked a shot and then accelerated. When Zhuang Yu had already taken the lead and got in position, McCollum felt a little depressed. It was too difficult to play one-on-one against Zhuang Yu.

But at this moment, Lillard ran towards him, the two of them ran crosswise, McCollum passed the ball to Lillard and set a screen for Lillard.

At this time, Lillard moved to the left, and Rose was blocked. Zhuang Yu had to give up McCollum and pounce on Lillard.

Rose also quickly bypassed McCollum and pounced on Lillard together with Zhuang Yu.

Now McCollum's position is vacant.

He moved two steps to the right, Lillard understood and passed the ball to him. After receiving the basketball, McCollum shot directly from outside the three-point line.

Swish!

There was a soft sound, and the basketball hit the net.

With this goal, the gap between the two sides was further narrowed to 4 points.

Now the Trail Blazers' bench was even happier.

Even Coach Stotts couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smile.

Although they are at a disadvantage in the rotation lineup, with the two guns in the backcourt, they can still gain the upper hand as long as they replace the main lineup.

What about the defending champion?

Nothing more.

Here, Assistant Coach Madsen came to Coach Scott and whispered, "Should we replace Ross? He is easy to be targeted by the opponent on the court."

Coach Scott hesitated for a moment, then nodded, replaced Ross with Lopez, and made a gesture to Zhuang Yu, indicating that Zhuang Yu should attack more.

Zhuang Yu understood, and after arriving at the frontcourt he asked Holiday for the ball.

When the ball was passed, the others moved away, and Zhuang Yu faced McCollum and played a singles match directly. There was no extra movement, just a tentative step, and then he instantly accelerated to the right and broke through. McCollum subconsciously turned sideways, knowing that he was not as fast as Zhuang Yu, and it was difficult to get ahead of him.

But just as he turned sideways, Zhuang Yu dribbled the ball behind his back, pulled it back, switched it to his left hand, tapped his toes on the floor, quickly returned to the three-point line, and jumped up immediately.

This series of actions was so fast that McCollum couldn't react.

By the time he wanted to pounce on her, it was too late.

Zhuang Yu had already jumped up and the basketball flew out from his fingertips.

Then there was a "swish" sound coming from behind McCollum. He didn't look back, because he knew the ball had definitely gone in without looking back.

"This guy's three-point shooting is so accurate. As long as he is given the slightest chance, he can make the shot." McCollum felt helpless. He couldn't prevent Zhuang Yu's breakthrough, nor did he seem to be able to prevent Zhuang Yu's shooting.

Even if he pounced on him immediately, it might not be helpful because he was not tall enough and Zhuang Yu's attack speed was too fast.

"The only way to defend him is to double-team him."

McCollum thought so in his heart, but he soon smiled bitterly again. It seems that double-teaming is not effective. This has been proven many times. Zhuang Yu is not only an accurate shooter and a sharp breakthrough, but also an excellent passer.

Unless he doesn't feel good...

But looking at the situation today, Zhuang Yu's outside shooting seems to be very good.

McCollum made up his mind that it was too difficult to defend Zhuang Yu, so he could only rush forward a little and interfere with him as much as possible to limit his outside shooting.

This is actually a helpless move, otherwise we can only use double-teaming.

However, the Lakers have too many scoring points, and if they double-team Zhuang Yu, they will inevitably miss other players, which is also something the Trail Blazers cannot afford.

Of course, the Trail Blazers also had the psychological expectation that they would not be able to defend Zhuang Yu.

They didn't want to win the game by defense, they wanted to rely on offense.

So even though Lillard was obviously undefendable, Coach Stotts just frowned and didn't make any adjustments. As long as the backcourt duo can continue their offensive firepower output, he doesn't need to worry.

The difference between the two sides widened to 7 points again, and the Trail Blazers attacked.

After Lillard came to the frontcourt, he wanted to get rid of the pick-and-roll, but he failed. The Lakers delayed very quickly. Holiday also bypassed the pick-and-roll player and stood in front of Lillard again. Lillard passed the ball to Layman.

Layman passed the ball to McCollum again and set a screen for McCollum at the same time.

However, Zhuang Yu predicted it one step ahead and was not blocked by Lehmann. He got around him and appeared in front of McCollum.

McCollum gritted his teeth and decided to play one-on-one. He dribbled the ball between his legs continuously, then suddenly accelerated, took a step forward and suddenly pulled up for a shot.

However, just as the basketball left his fingertips, an arm rushed out and slapped the basketball in front of McCollum's horrified eyes...

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball was blown away.

McCollum opened his eyes wide with a look of disbelief. He had been very careful, so why was he still blocked?

It was because of Zhuang Yu's strong predictive ability, excellent jumping and explosive power, as well as the advantages of height and wingspan that he finally successfully blocked McCollum's shot.

There was a cry of surprise from the audience...

Zhuang Yu ignored McCollum's surprised expression. After landing, he immediately rushed out, grabbed the basketball and launched a fast break.

"Hurry up..."

someone shouted.

At this time, McCollum also reacted and turned around to chase after him, but there was no way he could catch up.

Zhuang Yu was seen riding so fast that he left everyone behind and rushed to the front court. He stepped one foot into the free throw line and then jumped up.

This was one step inside the free throw line and still a long way from the basket, but Zhuang Yu soared into the sky, his body gliding in the air, holding the basketball high in his right hand, as if he was holding a battle axe, and chopped it down hard at the basket.

Bang!

There was an explosion, and the basketball was slammed into the basket by Zhuang Yu.

The home fans jumped up, shouted and screamed, cheering for Zhuang Yu.

Several Trail Blazers players had ugly expressions, especially McCollum, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

......

The Trail Blazers attack.

After arriving at the frontcourt, McCollum made a counter-run and took the initiative to ask Lillard for the ball. He wanted to take a shot himself to avenge his previous defeat.

However, Lillard did not give him the ball, but chose to do it himself. He made a gesture, Nurkic came up to screen, and Lillard moved to the left, but not forward, but instead took a step back, and made an ultra-long three-pointer from a distance of one meter outside the three-point line.

This play was a little unreasonable. After he pushed the ball to the frontcourt, he directly shot a three-pointer with a pick-and-roll, and it was a super long three-pointer. His teammates didn't even touch the ball, so it was naturally not a reasonable offense, and there was no strategy at all.

But Lillard has the ability.

He is always able to shoot some incredible balls, such as super long three-pointers, or even logo three-pointers, which are not surprising to him.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

Lillard raised his hand, pointed above his head, and then patted his chest, as if to say, I am so awesome.

However, he had just retreated to his own half and had not yet gotten into a good defensive position when the Lakers' attack arrived.

As soon as Holiday crossed the center line, he saw Zhuang Yu asking him for the ball. He immediately pushed the ball with both hands.

McCollum had just returned to his own half. He stood on the three-point line and subconsciously wanted to pounce on Zhuang Yu when he saw him asking for the ball. However, before he could act, Zhuang Yu had already jumped up.

Catch the ball, jump, shoot...

The whole action was done in one go, and it was almost two meters outside the three-point line, which was even farther than Lillard's super long three-pointer just now.

At this distance, he can just throw the ball as soon as he catches it.

It's equally unreasonable.

Swish!

The key is that the ball went in!

This ball ignited the whole audience, and Zhuang Yu returned an answerball, which was even farther and more difficult than Lillard's super long three-pointer just now.

"Haha, Lillard still wants to compete with Zhuang Yu in three-point shooting. He doesn't even consider his own strength. Zhuang Yu's three-point shooting can compete with Curry's."

"This long three-pointer is so cool."

"That's how we should play. Lillard thought he was very good, but it was just because Zhuang Yu didn't exert his strength."

The home fans cheered.

And Lillard was very unhappy.

When he came to the frontcourt, he shot another three-pointer, again unreasonably, facing the defender, but this time he missed.

But when he turned around, Zhuang Yu scored the ball again.

And it was still a three-pointer. He first ran along the inside line, returned to the three-point line and used the cover of his teammates to get rid of the defense. He played a three-point tactic with his teammates, received the ball outside the three-point line in the right corner, and shot immediately, and hit it steadily.

The gap between the two sides has further widened, and the Lakers are already leading by 12 points.

Coach Stotts frowned and wanted to call a timeout, but on the court, Lillard was eager to return the ball, but Holiday defended very well, so he had no choice but to pass the ball. After two passes, the ball was given to McCollum again.

This time McCollum chose to break through.

With the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll to get rid of Zhuang Yu, McCollum wanted to finish with a layup after a breakthrough, but was interfered by Anderson and failed to make a move.

The Lakers got the rebound and counterattacked.

Zhuang Yu rushed to the front court quickly, and when he saw McCollum coming towards him, he suddenly bowed to Buddha, which scared McCollum so much that he subconsciously stood on tiptoe and raised his hands.

However, Zhuang Yu did not shoot a three-pointer. Instead, he lowered his center of gravity and accelerated to pass McCollum. After reaching the inside, he changed hands in the air, grabbed the basketball with his left hand and sent it towards the basket. With a flick of his fingertips, he lightly put the ball into the basket.

Scored two more points.

Suddenly, the score difference became 14 points.
