Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk
Chapter 1527 Western Conference Finals, Clash of Champions (4)
"Hey, is KD going to play one-on-one?"
"Definitely. In the first quarter, KD basically didn't hold the ball and played one-on-one. He just shot after receiving the ball from the outside. Obviously, he didn't use enough strength. Now he is finally getting serious."
“Come on KD!”
When fans saw Green pass the ball to Durant and the others all moved away, they knew that Durant was going to play one-on-one against Korver.
This is also what the fans wanted to see. They all became excited and shouted loudly at the court, cheering for Durant.
Durant first took a tentative step forward with his right foot, and Korver raised one hand and stepped back a little, but not too far.
After all, we still have to be wary of Durant's direct pull-up shot.
Korver is completely at a disadvantage on the defensive end against Durant. He is not as tall as Durant, so he has to defend closer to the front, otherwise Durant can just go for him and pull up. But if he defends too close to the front, Durant can pass him with a disguised acceleration.
Such is the case at this moment.
Durant first took a tentative step, then broke through with an explosive speed, and in one step he passed Korver by half a body length.
"not good."
Korver's heart trembled, and he quickly shouted, "Defense!"
He was no longer able to block Durant's breakthrough route and could only call on his teammates for backup defense.
At this time, both sides used small lineups. The Lakers did not use Lopez, and Nance was at the 5th position. The Warriors did not send Cousins or Rooney. In addition to Curry, Klay, Green, and Durant, the last person was Iguodala.
So the one who was responsible for the defense at this time was Nance Jr.
Although Nance Jr.'s defense was very active and timely, he was not tall enough.
Durant passed Korver and quickly stopped, making a quick jump shot. Nance stretched out his arms but was helpless.
Swish!
There was a soft sound and the ball was scored.
"nice shot."
"Well done."
"Haha, KD just didn't exert his strength in the first quarter. When he gets serious, no one can defend him, let alone Korver."
The home fans cheered excitedly. They were naturally full of confidence in Durant. As long as Durant wanted to score, no one could stop him.
What's more, the veteran Korver is facing Durant at this time. Whether it is height, wingspan, or movement speed, Korver has no advantage.
This ball made Coach Scott frown slightly.
In the first quarter, Durant basically did not attack with the ball, and he played without the ball. He guessed that it might be because Durant was injured before. But now Durant is obviously going to start his personal singles mode. Could it be that his previous guess was wrong, and Durant did not attack with the ball in the first quarter because of injury, but it was just a strategy?
But on second thought, this possibility seems unlikely.
After all, doing so would not do the Warriors any good. There was no reason for them to give up Durant, their strong offensive point, in the first quarter, especially when they were behind at one point.
At the same time, Zhuang Yu was also thinking.
Soon Zhuang Yu also realized that Durant was not hiding in the first quarter. It was more likely that the Warriors fell into a disadvantage in the first quarter, so now they had to adjust their offensive strategy, and Durant had to increase his personal ball-holding offense.
"If that's the case, there's no need to worry too much."
Zhuang Yu thought to himself and ran to the front court.
After arriving at the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu ran back and asked Holiday for the ball.
After the ball was passed, Zhuang Yu stood outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, holding the ball at his waist. He first glanced at the Warriors' defensive formation on the court, and then winked at his teammates, signaling them to pull the players away.
Seeing this situation, the Warriors players immediately realized that Zhuang Yu also wanted to play one-on-one. They exchanged glances and quickly reached a tacit understanding.
Klay took a small step forward, and the distance between him and Zhuang Yu was less than one meter. He had to defend so close because Zhuang Yu's three-point threat was too great.
Behind him, his teammates tightened their defense, ready to help Klay with assisting and supplementing defense at any time.
Seeing all this, Zhuang Yu didn't care. He lowered his center of gravity and made a forward breakthrough. Clay quickly retreated and moved sideways to get in position. Zhuang Yu dribbled the ball from behind to his left hand, then pulled the ball back and stepped back to the three-point line.
Clay hurried forward, and immediately afterwards Zhuang Yu changed direction in front of him.
This time the change of direction was very large. After creating some distance between him and Clay, Zhuang Yu accelerated again and passed Clay directly.
Just as Korver couldn't defend Durant, Klay couldn't defend Zhuang Yu.
Because both Zhuang Yu and Durant can break through and shoot, and their shooting range covers the entire half court, with almost no blind spots in offense.
Therefore, when defending them, the defensive players must defend further forward, but the result of this is that they are easily passed by and have to rely on their teammates to assist and make up for the defense.
On the Warriors side, Green quickly stepped forward to provide defensive support, while other players moved inside to defend and surround Zhuang Yu.
Under such circumstances, it stands to reason that Zhuang Yu would pass the ball, but he did not do so. After passing Klay, he took two steps forward and jumped directly towards Green.
"Humph."
Green snorted coldly and jumped up with all his might.
He stretched out his arms to block Zhuang Yu, but Zhuang Yu was shooting a lob and Green could only watch and sigh.
With a swish sound, the basketball drew an exaggerated arc and finally fell into the net.
"Shet."
"Damn it, he scored."
The home fans shouted in dissatisfaction.
Although they were unhappy, they had to admit that Zhuang Yu's scoring ability was too strong.
If no one on the Lakers can defend Durant, then no one on the Warriors can defend Zhuang Yu.
......
Next round.
When he came to the frontcourt, Durant still played one-on-one with the ball.
This time the Lakers sent out help defense early. Durant first passed the ball, then moved to the low post on the right. After reaching the low post, he turned his back to the basket, held Korver with one hand, and raised the other hand to ask for the ball. His teammate once again passed the ball to him.
This time Durant didn't wait for the Lakers' help defense and double-team to arrive. He slapped the ball on the floor, butted Korver with his back, actively confronted him, then took a small step back, raised the ball, and made a one-legged jump shot.
Swish!
Come in again!
"Good job, that's it."
"Answerball......."
The home fans cheered again. It didn’t matter if they couldn’t defend Zhuang Yu. The Lakers couldn’t defend Durant either. The worst that could happen was that they could just play a head-on attack.
At that time, you score a goal and I score a goal too. No one can defend against anyone, and no one can take advantage.
However, Coach Kerr let Durant hold the ball and play one-on-one, not just to compete with Zhuang Yu...
