Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"what?"

Green was surprised.

This ball was very sudden. It was clear that Zhuang Yu's eyes were looking at his teammate on the left, and he was still moving. It was obvious that he was going to break through and pass the ball, but unexpectedly he suddenly jumped up.

By the time Green reacted, it was too late.

Zhuang Yu had already jumped up and threw the ball towards Green with one hand. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and finally went through the net and fell in.

"Shit." Green was annoyed and couldn't help cursing inwardly. He still couldn't defend against Zhuang Yu and felt very depressed.

Defense has always been Green's best skill, even better than his organizational ability. The reason he was able to secure a starting spot in the Warriors and even be selected for the All-Star team was because of his excellent defense and good organizational skills.

Especially in the Warriors system, they focus on offense. Since it is a "five-small lineup" and inside defense, the players will definitely suffer in terms of height and defense.

But Green's defense is excellent, and he can defend from the 1st position to the 4th position and even the 5th position. This to a certain extent makes up for the shortcomings of the Warriors' lineup, so that they will not be too biased towards offense and be easily beaten on the defensive end.

Especially after Durant joined the Warriors, Green basically doesn't have to worry too much about scoring, and the team doesn't need him to score, so he can focus on defense.

This allowed Green to be selected to the All-Defensive Team multiple times.

Even when facing some superstars, such as James Harden and LeBron James, Green is not afraid at all and still performs well on the defensive end.

However, facing Zhuang Yu, he was defeated more than once.

Frustrated every time!

This made Green very annoyed, but he was not stupid. He did not go to the frontcourt and fight alone, hoping to score a goal to retaliate. He was not a scoring player.

Green took the basketball from Curry and gestured to his teammates. Klay moved towards him. Green passed the ball to Klay, and then he turned sideways to set a screen for Klay, allowing Klay to break free from the defense. After the screen, Green cut to the inside.

The Lakers quickly switched defense.

Little Lance subconsciously rushed forward to delay Klay and prevent him from shooting a three-pointer. However, Klay did not shoot, but passed the ball to Green who was cutting to the basket.

The Lakers' defensive formation was disrupted, and several players subconsciously retreated their defense line.

However, Green was not the final finisher. After seeing the Lakers shrink their defense, he immediately passed the ball to Durant.

"not good."

"I missed someone."

There were exclamations from outside the stadium.

At this time, there was no one in front of Durant, and Kuzma, who was responsible for defending him, missed Durant because he contracted his defense and defended Green.

Zhuang Yu quickly pounced on Durant, but it was too late.

Durant took the ball and shot a three-pointer. With a slight sound, the basketball went into the net.

"Ha ha......"

Green laughed, high-fived Durant to celebrate, and looked at Zhuang Yu with pride. Although he couldn't defend Zhuang Yu and was not good at scoring, he could create opportunities for his teammates on the offensive end and let his teammates help him get revenge.

Kuzma had a wry smile on his face, looking a little depressed. Anderson and Holiday also didn't look very good, with a bit of discouragement.

Taking in his teammates' reactions, Zhuang Yu frowned slightly.

In this situation, several teammates were obviously discouraged and in low spirits, but Rose's expression remained calm and there was nothing unusual.

Immediately, Zhuang Yu walked to Ross and whispered something to him.

Rose nodded, took the ball and advanced in the backcourt. After reaching the frontcourt, he called a pick-and-roll, then passed the ball to Zhuang Yu and immediately pulled away.

Seeing this situation, everyone thought that Zhuang Yu would play alone again.

The attention of several Warriors players was also focused on Zhuang Yu, but no one noticed that Rose quietly cut in along the baseline.

Zhuang Yu stood outside the three-point line, glanced at the basket, and then accelerated to break through. At this time, Iguodala was facing him. Iguodala quickly moved sideways, but did not retreat too much. He had to beware of Zhuang Yu's step-back jump shot. Compared with the breakthrough, the Warriors were more afraid of Zhuang Yu's three-pointer.

One accelerates, then stops and starts suddenly.

Zhuang Yu passed Iguodala again, and Green quickly stepped forward to defend.

This time Green was very determined to jump in. He would not let Zhuang Yu score over him again using the same method.

The next moment, Zhuang Yu really stopped and jumped up.

"Hmph, you still want to come? You're dreaming." Green roared, jumped up and pounced on Zhuang Yu.

This time he jumped quickly and fiercely. He believed that even if he could not block the ball, he could still interfere with Zhuang Yu's shot.

Unfortunately, Zhuang Yu did not choose to shoot. Instead, after jumping up to attract the attention of the Warriors players, he suddenly passed the ball directly into the inside.

It was then that the Warriors players reacted and turned their heads to look, only to see that Rose had come to the inside at some point and made a layup after receiving a pass from Zhuang Yu.

Returned one!

"Oh, we missed someone again."

"What's going on? Be more careful."

The home fans were somewhat dissatisfied and shouted at the court, asking the Warriors players to defend better.

Although Zhuang Yu did not score, other Lakers players were unable to score either. How could the gap between the two sides be further widened?

Coach Kerr also shouted a few times on the court, signaling several players to defend better and not miss anyone. They should not only focus on Zhuang Yu, but also be careful of other players on the Lakers.

Of course, the Warriors' real advantage lies in offense.

After arriving at the frontcourt, the Warriors played a three-point tactic, first giving the ball to Draymond Green, and then Draymond Green, Curry, and Klay moved quickly. First Green passed the ball to Klay, then Klay passed it to Curry, and then the two of them made a continuous screen for Curry.

Curry broke free from the defense, took the basketball from Klay, returned to the 45-degree three-point line on the left, turned around and shot a three-pointer.

Swish!

Come in again!

Now the home fans are happy.

"Curry played really well today."

"This is the Stephen we are familiar with. His three-point shooting is unstoppable."

Amid cheers, the Lakers launched an attack.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Rose looked at Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu winked at him and Rose understood. He first called for a pick-and-roll, and then broke through decisively and went straight to the basket, but he did not choose to layup. Instead, he passed the ball to Anderson.

At the same time, Zhuang Yu quickly moved to the right corner outside the three-point line.

Anderson and Zhuang Yu had a very good understanding and immediately understood what Zhuang Yu wanted to do.

He moved to the right, passed the ball to Zhuang Yu, and set a screen for Zhuang Yu to block Iguodala who was chasing Zhuang Yu.

The next moment, Zhuang Yu jumped up immediately after receiving the ball, almost without any pause, adjusted his body in the air, and then shook his wrist.

This shot was extremely difficult, and was in no way inferior to the three-pointer Curry had just made. The entire shooting process was extremely fast, leaving the Warriors players helpless.

and......

With a "swish" sound, the basketball accurately penetrated the net.

"nice shot."

"Well done."

On the Lakers bench, a group of players all jumped up, waving their arms excitedly, cheering for Zhuang Yu's three-pointer.

Coach Scott also breathed a sigh of relief, as he really needed to score at this time.

In the next few rounds, the two sides went back and forth, but in the end neither side was able to gain the upper hand.

The Warriors' offense remains sharp.

Today, Curry, Klay, and Durant were all in great form. Curry's three-point shooting was unbelievable. Klay's performance was also very stable, including three-pointers from outside and layups. Durant relied on his personal ability and his mid-range jump shot was unstoppable.

However, what made the Warriors depressed was that they were unable to defend against the Lakers' offense.

The Lakers' points mainly came from Rose and Zhuang Yu. After Zhuang Yu hit a three-pointer, he broke through for a layup, causing the Warriors to foul, and then he made two free throws. Then Zhuang Yu attracted the defense and created an opportunity for Rose, who scored against Curry.

The outstanding performance of the two helped the Lakers stabilize the situation.

......

Before we knew it, the second quarter had come to an end, and the Warriors were still leading by 2 points.

Although they were still leading, the score was obviously not enough to satisfy Coach Kerr. He looked at the time and called a timeout.

At this time, there were only 20 seconds left in the second quarter and the Warriors had the ball.

They still have one last attack, and if they can score this time, there is a hope of widening the score gap to double digits.

"Let's play a three-pointer later..."

Coach Kerr arranged a three-point tactic.

......

When the timeout is over, the players return to the court.

Curry pushed forward with the ball, and when he got to the frontcourt, he called for a pick-and-roll, but he was not able to create an opportunity. He was not in a hurry, as he wanted to play until the last bit of time was up. He first spent a few seconds on the perimeter, and then passed the ball to Green.

At the same time, Curry, Klay, Durant, and Iguodala were all moving, crossing positions, and covering each other...

For a moment, only a few people were seen coming and going like a revolving lantern.

The Lakers players were chasing from behind, but the Warriors' running was methodical, and soon the Lakers' pursuit made a mistake and they missed Klay.

With a "whoosh", Green passed the ball to Klay.

After receiving the ball, Klay immediately raised it, stared at the basket, and shook his wrist...

But at this moment, an arm suddenly came out from nowhere, with five fingers spread out, and fanned the basketball like a palm-leaf fan.

"What?" Clay's eyes widened.

The fans in the audience couldn't help but be stunned, and then there were exclamations.

Someone's eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief: "Damn it, where did he come from? Why did he suddenly appear in front of Clay?"

"It was too fast. Zhuang was too fast. I felt a flash before my eyes, and he was already in front of Clay and flew up."

That's right, fly.

Because Zhuang Yu jumped too high!
