Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

In a blink of an eye, the first quarter ended.

At this time the score was 32:29, with the Clippers leading by 3 points.

The Clippers were still in the lead after one quarter, which surprised the Lakers fans somewhat. After all, there was a big gap in the record between the two teams, so why did the Lakers fall behind?

"James played really well today."

"It's clear that he wanted to win this game very much. He started firing on all cylinders in the first quarter and has already scored 15 points."

"Well, James played very well today, otherwise the score would definitely not be this."

James played the entire quarter and scored 15 points in a single quarter. His strong personal strength was undoubtedly demonstrated, leaving the Lakers helpless.

But the Lakers played well too, especially Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu also played the entire quarter, scoring 13 points, plus 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Otherwise, the Lakers might not be trailing by just 3 points.

......

Soon, the second quarter begins.

This is because both teams sent out rotation lineups. The Lakers side had Rose, Clarkson, Cunningham, Kuzma and Zubac.

The Clippers sent out Lance Stephenson, Louis Williams, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Danilo Gallinari and JaVale McGee.

Although the Clippers have not been able to form a "Big Three" lineup, their bench depth is still very impressive and the substitute lineup is not weak.

Players such as Stephenson, Lou Williams, Gallinari, and McGee have all been in the NBA for quite a few years and are experienced and capable.

Alexander is the 11th pick in the first round this year. He has good talent and might be a starter if he were on a weak team.

However, the current Clippers do not have much intention to train rookies. Alexander and some other players were once put on the shelf and prepared to be used as bargaining chips in exchange for All-Star players, but so far no deal has been reached.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers took the lead in attacking.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Rose called for a pick-and-roll, then went straight to the basket, jumped towards McGee, and made a layup in the air.

Turning around, the Clippers attacked and the ball was given to Lou Williams. This "Best Sixth Man" has a strong scoring ability and it can be said that he was "tit for tat" against Clarkson. Both of them have won the "Best Sixth Man" award.

This is a duel between the "best sixth men".

With a "whoosh", Lou Williams started, first breaking through to the left, then suddenly slowed down, changed direction, switched the ball to his right hand, and broke through from the right side.

Clarkson quickly retreated and moved sideways, but Lou Williams immediately dribbled the ball behind his back, took a step back, then jumped up and shot with a backward shot.

Swish!

There was a soft sound and the ball was scored.

After scoring the goal, Lou Williams looked at Clarkson and gave him a provocative look.

Clarkson frowned, secretly unhappy. After arriving at the frontcourt, he asked for the ball, then signaled others to move away so that he could play against Lou Williams alone.

They are all “best sixth man”, who is afraid of who?

Clarkson first dribbled the ball between his legs, then accelerated, broke through Lou Williams, took two steps forward and actively sought confrontation, forcing Lou Williams to be unable to jump, and then stepped back and shot a jump shot, which also hit the target...

In the next few rounds, the two of them competed against each other, you scored one and I scored one, both of them had excellent scoring ability, but they also had the same shortcomings, their defense was not good.

The result is that you can't defend me and I can't defend you.

The Clippers were happy to see this situation, but Coach Scott was not satisfied. He looked at the time and requested a substitution, replacing Cunningham with Holiday.

When Holiday came on the court, he became the one in charge of holding the ball, and Clarkson no longer fought one-on-one with Lou Williams. That was meaningless because Clarkson could not gain the upper hand and was just wasting time meaninglessly.

Coach Scott doesn't want this. He hopes that the team can use the rotation time to overtake the score instead of just playing a tie.

Holiday's performance was immediate after he came on the court.

After all, they are All-Star level players, with Holiday and Clarkson, plus Rose, the Lakers' rotation lineup is obviously stronger than that of the Clippers.

This is the Clippers' disadvantage.

Although the bench lineup seems to be full of talents, there is no particularly outstanding player except Lou Williams, and there is only one All-Star player, James, in the main lineup, so there is no way to let another All-Star player lead the bench lineup.

As a result, the Lakers have Holiday, but the Cavaliers don't have a similar person, so they naturally fall into a disadvantage.

After a few rounds, the Lakers quickly caught up and surpassed the score.

With more than four minutes left in the second quarter, the Lakers had already taken a 4-point lead.

......

"Requesting a timeout."

Coach Rivers frowned and called a timeout, then began to replace the main players. The first one to come on was James.

At the same time, the Lakers also made changes.

After the timeout, the Clippers replaced Stephenson, Lou Williams, James, Harrell and McGee.

The Lakers replaced Holiday, Clarkson and Zubac with Zhuang Yu, Cunningham and Nance Jr.

As soon as he returned to the court, James played one-on-one. After getting the ball, he used the pick-and-roll to get rid of the opponent, then went straight to the basket, jumped towards Nance Jr., and scored a layup.

But when he turned around, Zhuang Yu returned one.

This time it was not Zhuang Yu who scored by himself, but he attracted the defense to create opportunities for his teammates, and made a quick pass to Rose who was cutting to the basket, assisting Rose to score a layup.

In the next few rounds, the two sides fought back and forth, but were still evenly matched.

Soon, both sides made substitutions again. As the second quarter was already halfway through, they each began to change back their main lineups.

At the same time, James played more and more aggressively on the offensive end.

"ball."

James ran back to get the ball, held it at his waist, stood outside the three-point line, glanced at the situation on the court, and then suddenly accelerated and broke through to the left.

At this time, the Lakers had already got the main lineup, but Korver did not play. Cunningham was still at the No. 3 position. Korver was at a great disadvantage against James.

Cunningham quickly retreated sideways, while James dribbled forward two steps and suddenly turned around with the ball, with his broad back pressed against Cunningham, forcing Cunningham to step back two steps. After turning around, James jumped up, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and dunked towards the basket.

Bang!

With a bang, he slammed the basketball into the basket.

Nance Jr. tried to block the shot, but failed. James not only has terrifying strength, but also amazing bounce and explosive power, and he has both height and wingspan. He is rarely blocked, especially when he jumps.

"too strong."

"How many are these? How many points did James get?"

"It's already 20 minutes."

"Wow, it's only the first half, and he's already got 20 points?"

"Yes, 13 of 8 shots, very efficient. LeBron is still LeBron, really strong."

People all sighed with emotion, even the Lakers fans had to admit that James' strength was indeed terrifying, and he scored as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

With James' outbreak, the Clippers regained the upper hand and quickly led the Clippers to catch up with the score and surpass it.

At this moment, Zhuang Yu took action again.

Taking the basketball from his teammate, Zhuang Yu glanced at Harris in front of him. Harris' expression was extremely solemn. He raised one hand and stared at Zhuang Yu.

"Relax, you're too nervous."

Zhuang Yu said with a smile, but before he finished his words he accelerated and broke through from the left side, like a cheetah, taking a step forward at an astonishing speed.

Harris was mentally prepared and quickly retreated and moved sideways, but Zhuang Yu changed direction again immediately afterwards, with almost no change in speed. Harris didn't even have time to readjust his steps and could only watch Zhuang Yu pass by him. He subconsciously reached out to grab something, but caught nothing.

"Take up defense."

Harris yelled.

His teammates immediately stepped forward to help defend, but Zhuang Yu had already planned it out. He held the ball and took a step forward, then suddenly slowed down, changed direction, did a European step, and passed Gotot who came up to help defend, then reached towards the basket with the basketball in his left hand.

"Be careful."

A cry of surprise suddenly rang out.

Zhuang Yu's heart skipped a beat and he retracted his outstretched hand.

Sure enough, at the moment he retracted it, an arm suddenly stretched out, followed by a "snap" sound, and a hand hit the backboard.

It was James.

"Wow..."

There was an uproar in the audience, and people exclaimed that Zhuang Yu's layup was almost blocked by James.

However, although this ball was not blocked, it still interfered with Zhuang Yu's layup, and Zhuang Yu was afraid that the ball would not go in.

However, Zhuang Yu's body was already falling in the air, but he suddenly curled up his legs and paused briefly in the air. However, he could no longer see the basket at this time, so he could only rely on his sense to throw the ball behind his head and into the basket.

Swish!

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced, and finally fell into the net.

"nice shot."

"It's beautiful."

The home fans cheered excitedly and cheered loudly.

This goal was extremely difficult and was scored beautifully, it is definitely one of the top ten goals.

James narrowed his eyes and his pupils contracted. After he came to the frontcourt, he decisively played one-on-one and attacked the basket. Although the Lakers had tightened their defense and surrounded him, they still couldn't stop James from scoring.

He was like an extremely sharp sword, cutting through obstacles and breaking through defenses. All obstacles in front of him were like rags and were easily torn into pieces.

However, every time James scored a goal, Zhuang Yu would always be able to return one. After James scored a goal, he would quickly hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Zhuang Yu doesn't have the impact of James, but his outside shooting is very accurate.

James is like a knife that can break everything. Wherever the blade passes, it is unstoppable and can break anything.

However, Zhuang Yu was like a bow with unmatched accuracy. When the bowstring vibrated, the arrow shot out, hitting the target from a hundred steps away, and never missed its target.

These are two different styles, but equally sharp and equally unsolvable.
