Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

No one knows why Zhuang Yu prefers fadeaway jump shots so much today. Almost every shot he takes is a fadeaway jump shot.

Zhuang Yu doesn't care about all that. All he wants now is to completely transform his fadeaway jump shot and take it to the next level.

He then made several consecutive shots.

Although his hit rate was still very high, he felt that it was still just a little bit short, which made him a little anxious.

"The coach said that we'll only give them a few minutes. If I insist on going in later, I won't be able to find an excuse."

Zhuang Yu frowned slightly.

at the same time.

The Lakers have already overtaken the score and widened the gap to 5 points.

This made the Trail Blazers players frown and feel that something was not right. They thought that the Lakers might really come back in this game.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the Trail Blazers' shot missed.

The Lakers grabbed the rebound and counterattacked. After reaching the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu ran back to ask for the ball, but as soon as he got the ball, the Trail Blazers double-teamed him, forcing him to pass the ball.

Zhuang Yu frowned slightly, but still passed the ball and started to run actively, but the Trail Blazers still guarded him tightly, and there was always someone watching him. Even if he used his teammates' screens and pick-and-rolls to get rid of him, the Trail Blazers would immediately switch defenses, and there would always be someone in front of him.

Seeing that most of the offensive time had been used up, Holiday was planning to shoot himself, but he saw Zhuang Yu asking him for the ball.

There is naturally no need to think too much about such a game.

Holiday passed the ball, but Zhuang Yu was unable to break free from the defense, and was even nearly intercepted by the opponent when he received the ball.

"Pounce on him."

"Don't let him vote..."

The Trail Blazers' substitute players shouted loudly at the court, reminding the players on the court to rush forward because there were only 4 seconds left in the attack time.

The Lakers had no time to reorganize their offense. At this time, Zhuang Yu could only do it on his own with the ball, so he didn't have to worry about other Lakers players, or even consider how Zhuang Yu would play. He just had to rush forward with all his strength.

The next moment, Aminu and McCollum pounced on Zhuang Yu together. They were very determined. They jumped up with all their might, stretched out their arms, and weaved a big net above Zhuang Yu's head.

At the same time, Zhuang Yu also jumped up.

In this situation, with people flying over to block his shot from both sides, it was almost impossible for Zhuang Yu to shoot like this, as there was no space to shoot. So he chose to lean back without hesitation, and this time he leaned back at a very large angle, which looked very exaggerated.

"This backwards lean is...too exaggerated."

"It has to be this way. Aminu and McCollum are almost blocking him. He can't make the shot otherwise."

"True, but this kind of backward movement is too difficult."

Amid the discussions of the people, Zhuang Yu just shook his wrist and the basketball flew out from his fingertips, drawing a high arc. It seemed a little soft and weak, but in the end it landed accurately on the basket and then dove into it.

Suddenly, cheers broke out from the audience.

This fadeaway jump shot is both extreme and beautiful.

All kinds of cheers and screams filled the entire stadium, but Zhuang Yu didn't care about them at the moment. His eyes were as bright as stars, his face was full of excitement and surprise, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up and he grinned.

Smile a lot.

Because at the moment when I just threw the ball, the wonderful feeling when my three-point shooting ability completed its transformation once again emerged in my mind.

This time the feeling became extremely clear, and he immediately realized that his fadeaway jump shot had finally completed its transformation.

Go to the next level.

"Zhuang, you hit the ball really well."

"Brother, you are awesome."

The teammates ran over and high-fived Zhuang Yu to celebrate, and then they noticed that Zhuang Yu seemed to be in a strange state, with his mouth grinning foolishly.

Not really. It was just a fadeaway shot. It's not a big deal for you. He has made so many of the top ten shots this season.

Of course, they didn't know that Zhuang Yu's happiness at the moment was not because he made an extreme fadeaway shot, and they also didn't understand how excited and excited Zhuang Yu was at the moment.

The three-point shooting ability has completed its transformation over the past year.

But no matter how hard he tried, his fadeaway jump shot was always stuck at a critical point, which made him very anxious for a while.

Later he figured it out.

I no longer worry about it, and I no longer feel anxious, but the feeling of loss in my heart is still there.

And now, he has finally surpassed himself and completed another transformation, with his fadeaway jump shot ability further improved...

This feeling is amazing and very wonderful.

"Requesting a timeout."

At this time, the Trail Blazers called a timeout again because the Lakers had widened the gap to 11 points.

After several players came off the court, the Trail Blazers head coach shook his head with a wry smile, then spread out the tactical board and began to arrange tactics.

The atmosphere on the Lakers side was extremely relaxed.

Coach Scott patted Zhuang Yu's arm with a smile on his face and praised: "Your fadeaway just now was really beautiful. Even Kobe would give you a thumbs up."

Zhuang Yu smiled and felt something in his heart. He wondered which one was better, his fadeaway jump shot or Kobe's.

Of course, this is difficult to compare.

For example, everyone recognizes that Stephen Curry is a three-point shooter at the historical level in the NBA, and it can even be said that he is the strongest three-point shooter in NBA history.

But Curry may not necessarily win the NBA three-point contest, he may lose to others.

Also, in some games, Klay Thompson's three-point shooting may be much more accurate than Curry's. After all, Klay once scored 37 points in a single quarter.

The reason why people generally recognize Curry as the best three-point shooter in NBA history is based on a large enough model.

The comparison under small parameters is not objective enough and lacks persuasiveness. Only when the parameters are large enough can a relatively correct conclusion be drawn objectively.

At the same time, it is best to have equal variables.

For example, some people always think that although Curry is really good at three-point shooting, if he were put in the same era as three-point shooters like Reggie Miller and Ray Allen, he might not be better than them.

Or if Reggie Miller and Ray Allen were put in today's era, their three-point performance would not necessarily be worse than Curry's.

For example, some people think that Jordan is indeed great, but in today's era, his three-point shooting would be a shortcoming.

But some people think that with Jordan's ability, in today's era of speed and accuracy, and encouraging offense, he can also practice three-pointers to the extreme, and even his average data may be more terrifying than in his era...

In short, fans will inevitably compare current players with those great players in NBA history, but they are in different eras, and it is unfair to compare them together because this variable cannot be controlled.

So even Zhuang Yu himself is not sure how his fadeaway jump shot ability compares to Kobe's?

After all, Kobe has retired.

"Okay." Coach Scott smiled and waved his hand, "Let's change players later..."

This time he replaced Zhuang Yu, Holiday and Lopez, and he didn't plan to let them play in the next games.

That's about it for a match like this.

This time Zhuang Yu had no objection.

When the timeout was over, the Lakers sent out their substitute lineup, while the Trail Blazers still used their main lineup.

Seeing the Lakers replace Holiday, Zhuang Yu and Lopez, the Trail Blazers players couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Holiday and Lopez were fine, but Zhuang Yu's touch was so hot today that his fadeaway jumper was never in vain. Even though the Trail Blazers tried their best to defend, even using double teams, they still couldn't limit him.

When Zhuang Yu stands on the court and when he gets the ball, the Trail Blazers players will feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Fortunately, Zhuang Yu has been replaced now.

"I hope he doesn't play for more than one quarter."

This was the unanimous thought in the minds of the Trail Blazers players. They were almost traumatized by Zhuang Yu's performance today.

In the next few minutes, the Lakers made another substitution, but Zhuang Yu, Lopez and Holiday did not play, and Anderson was also replaced. The court was full of substitutes, and Rose did not play either, so the Lakers quickly fell into a disadvantage.

The gap between the two sides was narrowing, and by the end of the third quarter, the gap between the two sides had narrowed to 3 points.

Entering the final quarter, the Lakers still had their bench lineup, while the Trail Blazers gradually replaced their main players after more than three minutes of the fourth quarter.

When the fourth quarter was halfway through, the Trail Blazers successfully reversed the score and maintained the lead until the end of the game.

During the entire fourth quarter, none of the Lakers' players, including Zhuang Yu, Holiday, Lopez, Anderson, Korver and Rose, played.

When the game ended, the Trail Blazers defeated the Lakers 117:110.

Although Zhuang Yu of the Lakers only played for more than two quarters in this game, he scored 29 points, plus 6 rebounds and three assists, which was very efficient.

The highest scorer for the Trail Blazers was not Lillard, but McCollum. McCollum scored 27 points, Lillard scored 22 points, and the others also scored points...

With the end of this game, the Lakers' 2018-19 regular season also ended.

Although they lost the final game, it did not have much impact on them, as their record is still ranked third in the Western Conference.

After the game, Zhuang Yu took the initiative to hug Lillard and said, "Thank you."

what?

Lillard was stunned and couldn't react. He stared into Zhuang Yu's eyes, trying to judge from Zhuang Yu's eyes whether Zhuang Yu was mocking him?

But all he saw in Zhuang Yu's eyes was sincerity.

This made Lillard even more confused. You caught me on the court and punched me hard, and now you are saying thank you to me. What are you doing?

Of course Zhuang Yu didn't explain. He patted Lillard on the back twice, walked away with a smile, and hugged the other players of the Trail Blazers one by one.

He not only wants to thank Lillard, but also the entire Trail Blazers team for helping his fadeaway jump shot complete its transformation.

They are all good people!
