Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Shh!"

This ball goes in again.

Green's face was wrinkled into a bun and his nostrils were almost crooked by anger. How could he be like this? How could he still make the shot? This is unreasonable.

It seems unreasonable, but in fact Zhuang Yu is too strong.

Many people thought that the playoffs last season was Zhuang Yu’s peak, but many people forgot that he is not yet 24 years old. He is still very young and is still growing.

After an offseason, although Zhuang Yu's fadeaway jump shot did not improve, his overall strength is still improving.

Compared to last season, Zhuang Yu has become stronger.

It’s just that the past dozen games have not forced him to perform at his strongest, and others don’t know how strong he is.

How terrible will it be when he is determined to score?

“This ball goes in again.”

"His scoring ability is so strong that he is simply unstoppable."

"Yeah, he deserves to be the scoring champion for two consecutive years. I feel that in terms of scoring ability alone, KD today may not be as strong as him..."

At this moment, Zhuang Yu's personal data so far was displayed on the big screen: 50 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists, which was a very crazy data.

People were shocked that they had already scored 50 points.

At the end of the first half, people thought that Zhuang Yu would definitely score 30+ today, and maybe even 40+. At the end of the third quarter, people thought that Zhuang Yu would definitely score 40+, and maybe even 50+. Now, Zhuang Yu has already scored 50 points, and the game is not over yet.

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Kerr called a timeout.

At this time, the Warriors were still leading by 4 points, but Zhuang Yu had already scored 50 points, which was a blow to the morale of the Warriors.

After several players came off the court, Coach Kerr said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter. What we have to do is to win this game. Don't worry about how many points Zhuang Yu gets. As long as the victory belongs to us, that's enough."

Several players nodded, but frustration was clearly written on their faces.

Before, they not only wanted to win the game, but also prevent Zhuang Yu from getting high scores, because then someone might say that although they won the game, they lost to Zhuang Yu.

But now...

Zhuang Yu has already scored 50 points. It has become a joke to defend Zhuang Yu and prevent him from getting high scores.

No matter what the result of this game is, there will always be people who laugh at them for not being able to defend against Zhuang Yu.

Therefore, what they need to consider now is no longer how to limit Zhuang Yu's scoring, but how to ensure winning the game.

If Zhuang Yu scores 50+ and wins the game, then Zhuang Yu will definitely be in great glory, but the Warriors will become a laughing stock.

"Remember, the most important thing is to win this game, not to compete with Zhuang Yu."

"Play good defense and play good offense."

"There are still a few minutes left. Let's be serious and play our own offense. The Lakers can't defend us..."

After another round of instructions, Coach Kerr put away the tactical board and waved his hand: "Go ahead."

......

The pause ended quickly.

Players from both teams returned to the court with 4 minutes left.

Warriors possession of the ball.

At this time they were still using a small lineup. Curry was advancing with the ball in the backcourt. After reaching the frontcourt, he first called for a pick-and-roll, and waited for Green to come up for the pick-and-roll. Curry used the pick-and-roll to get rid of it, but he didn't get a chance. He passed the ball back to Green, and then ran his own position.

At the same time, Klay, Iguodala, Durant and others were also running quickly, and Green passed the ball to Durant.

At this time, Curry moved to the left and Klay moved to the right, and the two opened up the space to serve as three-point shooting points on the left and right sides.

Durant can pass the ball to Curry or Klay.

However, he did not choose to pass the ball, but instead broke through, dribbled forward two steps, then jumped up and shot a fade away.

With a slight sound, the basketball went through the net and the difference between the two sides became 6 points.

Turning around, the Lakers attacked.

The Lakers team still has Rose, Holiday, Zhuang Yu, Anderson and Nance Jr. on the court at this time.

Rose was responsible for advancing the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, he looked at Zhuang Yu, who ran back to get the ball. At this time, the Warriors did not double-team him.

This surprised Zhuang Yu a little: "Oh, no double-teaming, are you giving up on yourself?"

By this time, Zhuang Yu had scored 50 points.

Obviously, the Warriors' double-team did not effectively limit his scoring, so there was no point in continuing the double-team.

Of course, not double-teaming does not mean that the Warriors will let Zhuang Yu score. Iguodala still defended closely, waving one hand back and forth in front of Zhuang Yu, not giving him the chance to shoot three-pointers, trying to force Zhuang Yu to break through, and naturally his teammates would provide backup defense from behind.

But since the Warriors didn't double-team, there was no reason for Zhuang Yu to be polite.

He first took a step forward with his right foot, leaned forward, and gave Iguodala a chance to fight back, creating more space between the two sides. Then Zhuang Yu slapped the ball and passed Iguodala by half a body length. Iguodala subconsciously turned sideways, but Zhuang Yu suddenly stopped.

"not good."

Iguodala felt uneasy and stopped subconsciously.

But just when he stopped, Zhuang Yu started again, stopped and started quickly, and used the change of rhythm to pass Iguodala.

Green in the inside rushed over to help defend, but before he could do so, Zhuang Yu had already jumped up and made a quick stop jump shot.

Swish!

Still going in.

"A generous gift of crabs, you can still enter."

"This guy is crazy about killing."

In the audience stands, the home fans shouted in frustration.

By this time in the fight, Zhuang Yu had gone completely crazy with killing.

He doesn't care at all whether there is a defender in front of him, or whether to shoot three points or two points, or to attack the basket. Given his current state, he will go forward even if there are thousands of people against him.

With a ball in hand, I am invincible!

During the timeout just now, Coach Kerr told the players that the most important thing now was to win the game, not to limit how many points Zhuang Yu could score.

So when they returned to the court, the Warriors did not double-team Zhuang Yu, but instead strengthened their defense against other Lakers players while also strengthening their own offense.

The Warriors' biggest reliance is still their sharp offense, especially when the Lakers are without Lopez.

As long as the team can maintain sufficient offensive output and still lead by a few points, Coach Kerr does not think the Lakers can make a comeback.

However, things did not develop quite the same way as Coach Kerr expected.

The Warriors did play well on offense, and they were still sharp on the offensive end. The Lakers really couldn't defend against them with this lineup at the moment.

However, the Lakers' offense is equally sharp, even sharper than the Warriors.

And the main scorer is still Zhuang Yu.

When the Warriors stopped double-teaming, Zhuang Yu started to play one-on-one without any distinction. It made no difference to him whether the person defending him was Iguodala, Green, or any other player on the Warriors. No matter who was in front of him, he could always score the ball.

Mid-range shot, layup, three-pointer...

Only three minutes had passed and Zhuang Yu's personal score had reached 59 points, just one point away from 60 points.

The home fans didn't dare to say anything after seeing this.

Previously, they thought that getting 50+ was incredible, but they didn't expect that Zhuang Yu would actually aim for 60+.

"Damn it, don't let him score again."

"We are still leading by two points."

Some people shouted at the court, saying they couldn't stand Zhuang Yu scoring 60+ in their home court, and asked the Warriors players to defend better and not let Zhuang Yu score anymore.

There were also some people talking to themselves, as if to comfort themselves, but the two-point difference was not enough to make them feel at ease.

Yes, after three minutes, the gap between the two sides had been narrowed to only two points, and there was only one minute left in the game.

......

"boom!"

With a sound of the door slamming, the Warriors missed the shot.

The Lakers called a timeout.

It wasn't because there was anything wrong with the play, but Coach Scott wanted Zhuang Yu to take a break and catch his breath. There was only one minute left in the game, which was also the most crucial minute. Although Zhuang Yu had scored 59 points today, he had also consumed a lot of physical energy.

After several players came off the court, Coach Scott patted Zhuang Yu on the arm and said, "Take a breath and wipe the sweat off."

Coach Scott didn't speak again until the timeout was about to end: "There's one minute left. Play better defense and give the ball to Zhuang Yu."

It’s that simple. The others defend and the offense is left to Zhuang Yu.

The players had no objection to this, and neither did assistant coaches such as Madsen. When your star player scores 59 points in a game, the coach is no longer important.

Just give him the ball.

......

The pause ends.

Both teams returned to the court, the Lakers had the ball, the score was 116:118.

Still on the court are Rose, Holiday, Zhuang Yu, Anderson and Nance Jr.

Rose advanced with the ball in the backcourt, and when he reached the frontcourt, he immediately passed the ball to Zhuang Yu, and then several players moved away to let Zhuang Yu play alone.

The Warriors still did not double-team, and Iguodala was still defending alone, but several players' attention was on Zhuang Yu, ready to assist and provide backup defense at any time.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Zhuang Yu dribbled the ball with one hand, his eyes fixed on the basket, breathing heavily, sweat dripping down his chin onto the floor, breaking into tiny pearls.

His physical energy consumption was indeed great, but his spirit was extremely excited.

The next moment, Zhuang Yu dribbled the ball between his legs, lowered his left shoulder, and tried to break through to the left. Iguodala quickly moved sideways, and Zhuang Yu dribbled the ball behind his back, switched the ball to his right hand, accelerated again, passed Iguodala, and then hugged the ball and ran straight to the basket.

Green quickly stepped forward to provide defensive support, while several other Warriors players immediately tightened their defense line to surround Zhuang Yu.

Facing the Warriors' siege, Zhuang Yu's eyes lit up brightly. Without pause or hesitation, he hugged the ball and rushed forward. He jumped up to meet Green who was defending, but did not shoot in a hurry. Instead, he threw himself into the air first.

"court death."

Green roared, jumped up, waved his arms angrily, and slapped Zhuang Yu.

He was always defeated when facing Zhuang Yu today, and felt very aggrieved. The anger in his heart had long been out of control. At this moment, seeing Zhuang Yu ignoring his existence and daring to jump towards him, the anger in his heart burst out instantly, his expression was ferocious, and he slapped him.
