Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"what?"

Zhuang Yu was a little surprised. He timed the block very accurately this time. Most people would not be able to avoid it, not to mention that Doncic's jumping ability was not that good. But he did not expect that Doncic seemed to have been prepared and actually changed hands in the air.

This ball gave Zhuang Yu a familiar feeling, as if he saw himself.

Swish!

There was a soft sound and the ball was scored.

The home fans cheered.

This is what they wanted to see. Doncic was not afraid of Zhuang Yu's defense at all and was still able to score the ball.

awesome!

"Haha, quite interesting." Zhuang Yu smiled and didn't care.

However, when he turned around and arrived at the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu asked Holiday for the ball. After he got the ball, he made a gesture, signaling his teammates to move away, and then played against Matthews.

Matthews is 196 cm tall and is an undrafted player. Before joining the Mavericks, he played for the Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers. He played particularly well with the Portland Trail Blazers. In his best season, he averaged 16.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.

His excellent performance in several consecutive seasons has enabled him to go from an undrafted player to a starting-level player in the NBA and get a big contract with an annual salary of tens of millions. He is an inspirational example.

He is a shooting wing shooter with average ball-handling ability and average offensive ability with the ball. He relies more on outside three-pointers for scoring.

On the defensive end, he is limited by his wingspan and jumping ability, and his defensive ability is not top-notch, but he has a strong body and a tough defensive attitude, which can be considered above average.

But he was obviously not good enough to face Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu held the ball at his waist and took a tentative step with his right foot. Matthews subconsciously stepped back a little with his left foot. This alone revealed a flaw. Zhuang Yu immediately slapped the ball to the left, accelerated, and passed Matthews half a body length in one step.

Matthews subconsciously stuck close to him, trying to use his body to delay Zhuang Yu's breakthrough speed. However, Zhuang Yu's ability to confront opponents is no less than that of any guard, even a small forward.

When the two bodies touched, Zhuang Yu did not stop, but Matthews took a step back uncontrollably.

"Take up defense."

On the Mavericks side, Jordan Jr. immediately stepped forward to provide defense.

Jordan is indeed an excellent inside defender, but for Zhuang Yu, playing small against bigger opponents is already a piece of cake.

He jumped towards Jordan, holding the basketball in his right hand and throwing it into the air. The basketball drew a high arc, passed over Jordan's head, and finally fell into the net.

Little Jordan looked helpless.

In the next round, Doncic once again called for a pick-and-roll in the face of Zhuang Yu's defense, but he still couldn't get rid of it, and he still chose to play one-on-one.

The successful singles match against Zhuang Yu just now gave him confidence.

Doncic first dribbled the ball between his legs, pretending to break through to the right, while at the same time giving Zhuang Yu a physical confrontation. Then he suddenly dribbled the ball from behind and switched the ball to his left hand, trying to break through to the left, but still failed to get past Zhuang Yu.

Doncic frowned slightly, took a step back, and then suddenly raised his center of gravity, looking toward the basket, as if he was about to shoot.

This was of course just a feint.

Although he did it very realistically, Zhuang Yu's special ability allowed him to see through his opponent's fake moves, so he was not fooled at all. His feet were nailed to the floor, and he looked at Doncic coldly with a smile on his lips, which seemed to be mocking him in Doncic's eyes.

Doncic took a deep breath to calm himself down. He looked at the shot clock and called a pick-and-roll for his teammates.

At this time, there was not much time left for the attack. He took a step to the right with the help of the pick-and-roll, then immediately received the ball and jumped outside the three-point line...

However, Zhuang Yu had anticipated this and quickly bypassed the screener and jumped up. Although he was not as tall as Doncic, Zhuang Yu had advantages in jumping and arm span, and his judgment was accurate. His arms were already across Doncic's head, and as long as Doncic shot, he would be blocked.

"It happened."

"Damn, Zhuang Yu's reaction was too fast."

"This defense is worthy of being the best defensive player."

in the audience.

The home fans frowned and couldn't help sighing, thinking that this ball would most likely be blocked.

However, unexpectedly, Doncic did not throw the ball, but curled up in the air to dodge, swung the ball from the side and passed it directly into the inside.

Wow...

The audience was in an uproar.

Everyone thought that the ball would be blocked, but unexpectedly, Doncic did not shoot but passed the ball, and the pass was very accurate, powerful and fast, and it went directly to Jordan in the inside, making Jordan a little at a loss.

He didn't expect Doncic to pass the ball to him, but fortunately he grabbed the basketball by instinct.

"What are you waiting for? Go ahead."

Someone shouted a reminder.

Only then did Jordan react.

The pass was very clever. Originally, Nance Jr. was standing in front of Jordan Jr. and had a chance to cut the ball off.

But everyone's attention was on Doncic and Zhuang Yu, and Doncic's pass was very abrupt and very fast. Nance Jr. didn't react for a while and had no time to reach out. In addition, he was not as tall as Jordan Jr., so the basketball almost brushed his scalp and fell into Jordan Jr.'s hands.

At this time, there was a basket behind Jordan Jr. After he reacted, he turned around and slammed the basketball into the basket with both hands.

"A generous gift of crab."

"It's a beautiful ball, it's a great pass from Luka."

"Haha, I thought this ball would be blocked, but it turned out to be a great pass. Luka is awesome, amazing Luka!"

All the home fans stood up excitedly, cheering and screaming loudly, applauding Doncic for this beautiful pass.

As for Jordan's dunk, it seemed a bit insignificant.

Anderson came to Zhuang Yu, raised his eyebrows and said, "He actually dodged the ball. This kid is quite clever."

"He is quite clever, has quick reactions, and his pass is very imaginative." Zhuang Yu nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Most people wouldn't dare to pass the ball like that."

Doncic's pass was indeed very beautiful, beyond everyone's expectations, and it was also very courageous. If it were someone else, they would not pass the ball to Jordan. Because Nance was standing in front of Jordan, under normal circumstances, such a pass would definitely be intercepted by him.

Listening to the cheers from the audience, Anderson winked at Zhuang Yu and said, "This kid has overshadowed you. Why don't you do something?"

Zhuang Yu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, let him be happy for a while."

Of course a response is necessary, but it is only the first quarter and Zhuang Yu is not in a hurry. He wants to see how much more Doncic can do.
