After passing Lopez, Jokic hugged the ball and rushed towards the basket. Anderson quickly approached, but he was much inferior to Jokic in height and weight, and was knocked away by Jokic. Then Jokic grabbed the basketball and threw it lightly, making a deft jump shot.

He is a fat man weighing two or three hundred pounds, but his hand skills are surprisingly good, his wrists are very flexible, and his throwing is soft and precise. The combination of these gives people a strange feeling.

"Flexible fat man."

"This guy doesn't look like he can play in the NBA physically, but he can score and make great assists. It's really weird."

"Do you think this guy has a bug? His movements are so slow, but when he gets the ball, it seems that other people's movements also slow down. Otherwise, with his slow speed, how could he break through with the ball?"

"Uh...it really is."

People were discussing it, shaking their heads, feeling somewhat speechless.

I've never seen a player like this.

Even Anderson from the Lakers also relies on rhythm and seems slow, but he always gets results, but not as outrageous as Jokic.

Zhuang Yu was not surprised. He looked at Anderson and said with his eyes, "Didn't I tell you to learn from this fat guy? How about it?"

Anderson chuckled and patted his chest: "Watch me perform a show."

......

Come to the frontcourt.

Holiday passed the ball to Zhuang Yu, who stood outside the three-point line and exchanged glances with Anderson. The two crossed positions and Zhuang Yu passed the ball to Anderson, switching defense. Anderson then played a singles game, first dribbling between his legs and then accelerating. His speed was not fast, and the defender was not passed by him, but the next moment Anderson hugged the ball and took three big steps.

The first step was big and fast, but the second step suddenly slowed down and raised the ball, looking like he was about to shoot.

However, he seemed to be stuck in a trance and could not move forward, so he paused strangely.

This weird rhythm made the defender very frustrated. He had already jumped up to block the shot, but Anderson seemed to be stuck somewhere as if there was a bug and was a beat slower than him. His arms were raised high, but there was only air in front of him.

It's like punching cotton with all the strength. It's a suffocating feeling, so uncomfortable.

When the defender began to fall, Anderson finally jumped up, holding the basketball high in his right hand. The defender waved his arms vigorously, unwilling to make a final attempt. However, Anderson was tall and had long arms, so he shot with one hand, which made the defender very uncomfortable.

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"nice shot."

"The rhythm of this ball... is weird."

"It was a bit weird, the tempo was ridiculously slow, I saw the sideline referee almost blew the whistle and called a traveling penalty."

Some people cheered, while others had strange expressions.

Although I'm used to Anderson's playing style, I still feel weird every time I see it. The rhythm is too uncomfortable.

And he is quite different from Jokic. Jokic is the type of person who is fat but flexible, slow but very smooth. Anderson, on the other hand, looks thin but moves surprisingly slowly. He is tall and has long arms, but is like a snail, which always gives people an awkward feeling.

After scoring the goal, Anderson winked at Zhuang Yu.

Have you seen it?

“Okay, but why are you still stuck in the bug?” Zhuang Yu smiled, gave Anderson a thumbs up, and clicked the “like” button manually.

In fact, Anderson is similar to Jokic only in terms of controlling the rhythm. There is still a big gap in other aspects. For example, Jokic's passing ability. Although Anderson can also organize the pass, his passing is not as flexible as Jokic. His shooting ability is far behind Jokic.

In the next few minutes, Jokic continued to show his outstanding abilities, either making wonderful passes to his teammates or scoring points himself. The flexible fat man was very flexible. With his white and plump body, he moved slowly every time, but he seemed calm and composed on the court, giving people a feeling of ease.

"This guy is a talent, no, a genius."

Zhuang Yu couldn't help but sigh, this fat guy is really a genius.

What is talent?

It's what ordinary people can do, but he can do better.

So what is a genius?

He can do things that most people cannot do. Not only can he do it, he can even do it differently from others.

Only those who have their own style are geniuses!

Although Jokic has not reached that level yet, he has already shown the rudiments of "becoming a school of his own". His playing style and what he can do are unique in the entire league.

"Shh!"

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

This was a shot from Murray, and the one who assisted him was Jokic. Jokic got the ball in the low post to attract the defense, and made a pass to Murray without looking at anyone, assisting Murray to hit a three-pointer. The two smiled at each other, ran back, and celebrated by clapping their hands.

With this three-pointer, the Nuggets overtook the score and led the Lakers by one point.

In the next round, Jokic was fouled by Lopez in the low post and made both free throws.

The Nuggets are now leading by 3 points.

"Requesting a timeout."

The Lakers called a timeout.

After several players came off the court, Coach Scott made a substitution, replacing Korver with Cunningham, and said, "Cunningham, you are responsible for defense. Anderson, you are responsible for organization. Lopez, Holiday, and Zhuang Yu, you three are responsible for offense. Don't give up, show your strength."

Zhuang Yu and the other two looked at each other and laughed.

......

On the other side, Nuggets head coach Mike Malone was clapping his hands, cheering and encouraging the players.

"Good job, keep it up, keep playing like this."

"There's nothing to be afraid of when you're defending the title. I believe you can win."

After some encouragement, he waved his hand and signaled the players to go on the court.

The Nuggets also made a substitution, replacing Craig with Malik Beasley, a 198cm tall guard, about the same height as Craig, but his strength is stronger than Craig and his scoring ability is better.

......

Soon, the pause ends.

Both sides returned to the field.

Seeing the Lakers replace Korver with Cunningham, the fans in the audience were a little surprised.

Shouldn't it be time to replace Clarkson or Rose to further improve the Lakers' offense and reverse the score?

Why replace him with Cunningham who can only defend?

Amid the discussion, the Lakers launched an attack.

Holiday dribbled the ball forward and after reaching the frontcourt, he glanced at Zhuang Yu, who nodded at him, then ran back and asked Holiday for the ball.

When the ball came over, Zhuang Yu held the ball at his waist, bent slightly, stared at the basket, and suddenly took a step with his right foot, breaking through in a straight line, instantly passing the defender by half a body length. Just as Harris was adjusting his steps, Zhuang Yu suddenly paused, then leaned towards Harris, actively looking for a physical confrontation. Harris felt a strong force coming, and his feet could not help but stagger.

Zhuang Yu took a step back to further increase the distance, but did not go inside because the Nuggets had already contracted their defense and were ready to provide backup.

Zhuang Yu took a step back and jumped up, making a jump shot...

Swish!

The ball goes in.

"Damn it."

"Be careful and don't let him attack easily."

The Nuggets players on the bench shouted loudly towards the court, asking their teammates to be more cautious and not let Zhuang Yu shoot easily.

The Nuggets attack.

When they arrived at the frontcourt, the Nuggets players immediately felt something strange; the opponent's defensive pressure became stronger than before.

Their feelings are not wrong.

This is because the Lakers' lineup at this time emphasizes defense. Whether it is the backcourt, the 3rd line, or the inside line, they all have sufficient defensive capabilities.

Of course, it is not without weaknesses.

For example, Anderson's point.

Anderson has the height of a No. 4, but his weight is not that of a No. 4. He is actually more like a No. 3.

boom!

There was a sound of door slamming, and the Nuggets' shot missed.

Lopez grabbed the rebound and counterattacked. After reaching the frontcourt, the ball was given to Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu broke through, attracted the defense and passed the ball to Lopez, assisting him to score.

It is difficult for Lopez to defend against Jokic, who has a variety of offensive methods and a very high basketball IQ, but it is also difficult for Jokic to defend him, not to mention there is Zhuang Yu to contain the defense.

The Lakers scored for two consecutive rounds.

The Nuggets ran into trouble. They couldn't defend the Lakers on the defensive end, and they missed shots one after another on the offensive end.

"Damn it." Murray cursed angrily.

Jokic also frowned, but he was calm and quickly came up with a solution. He said to several teammates: "Give the ball to Paul (Millsap) and let him play."

Several teammates' eyes lit up.

The individual defensive capabilities of this Lakers lineup are very strong, and Anderson is the only weakness. He is more like a No. 3 position and does not have enough weight, so it is not easy for him to defend Millsap.

The ball was given to Millsap, the others moved away, and Millsap played alone.

However, Millsap is now over 4 years old and has passed his prime. Although Anderson is at a disadvantage when defending the No. 4 position alone, the Lakers still have overall defense. Their excellent teamwork and overall defense are enough to make up for Anderson's disadvantage against the No. position.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, Millsap missed the shot.

Now Nuggets head coach Mike Malone began to frown, the defense of this Lakers lineup was really outstanding.

Although the offensive end lacks the three-point shooter Korver, Zhuang Yu, Holiday and Lopez are all very strong in scoring, especially Zhuang Yu, who is almost unstoppable.

Now we not only can't defend, but we can't attack either. We are in big trouble.

However, in just a moment, the Lakers had overtaken the score and quickly widened the gap to 5 points, creating a wave of shock waves.

The home fans were very excited and cheered loudly.

The Lakers lost two of the previous three games, which made the fans a little depressed, but today things finally returned to normal.
