Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"It's a substitution. Zhou An is substituted in."

"Haha, now there's something interesting to watch. I'm waiting to see the showdown between Zhou An and Zhuang Yu."

Seeing Zhou An being substituted on and Zhuang Yu not being substituted, the fans in the audience immediately became excited and stared at the field without blinking, looking forward to the duel between Zhou An and Zhuang Yu.

This is the focus of the finals, the China Derby.

Zhuang Yu and Zhou An both came onto the field, looked at each other, and then smiled at the same time. They looked very close, but in fact, both of them were ready to strike hard.

......

Lakers offense.

Rose dribbled the ball in the backcourt and looked at Zhuang Yu when he reached the frontcourt.

Zhuang Yu made a gesture to him, and Rose understood what he meant. He first called for a pick-and-roll breakthrough, and then passed the ball to Anderson, who organized the offense.

Zhuang Yu, Clarkson and Ross were running quickly.

Rose and Zhuang Yu both cut into the inside, while Clarkson was lurking outside the three-point line. After the two cut into the inside, he suddenly ran back and moved outside the three-point line.

This caused a disagreement among the Nets players on defensive communication.

The two players rushed towards Zhuang Yu together.

As a result, Anderson passed the ball to Rose, who took a three-pointer and made it steadily.

The score was overtaken.

"Someone's missing."

"They all rushed to Zhuang Yu. But it's understandable, after all, Zhuang Yu is a bigger threat. I didn't expect Ross to shoot so resolutely, and he even made the shot."

Some people are talking.

Rose's three-point shooting is not particularly stable, but this tactic has been fully executed. There is a large open space in front of him, and it would be unacceptable if he could not make it again.

......

The Nets attack.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Irving first called for a pick-and-roll, and when Zhou An came up, he moved to the left to switch defense, and then dribbled the ball between his legs continuously and suddenly accelerated to break through.

The Lakers quickly contracted their defense and surrounded Irving, but Irving passed the ball with one hand to Joe Harris.

Everyone looked at Joe Harris, thinking he would shoot a three-pointer, but instead they saw him attract the defense and then pass the ball horizontally to Zhou An at the top of the arc.

"Wow..."

The audience was in an uproar.

This was a bit unexpected. After all, Joe Harris is a three-point shooter. Everyone thought this was a three-point tactic for him, but unexpectedly he passed the ball.

The next moment, Zhou An raised the ball outside the three-point line at the top of the arc. There was a clear space in front of him, with no one within two meters. He calmly aimed at the basket and then threw the ball.

Swish!

There was a soft sound and the ball was scored.

There was another uproar in the audience.

This was actually a three-point tactic arranged for Zhou An, and he made it.

At this time everyone realized that this attack was a three-point tactic arranged for Zhou An, and Zhou An seized the opportunity and successfully scored the ball.

After the uproar, some fans began to cheer. They were Chinese fans. They were not only fans of Zhuang Yu and the Lakers, but also supporters of Zhou An.

When I saw Zhou An score a goal, of course I cheered for him.

Other fans couldn't help but look at Zhuang Yu. The China derby between Zhuang Yu and Zhou An was the focus of people's attention. Now Zhou An scored as soon as he came on, so what about Zhuang Yu?

......

on the field.

While Zhou An was retreating, he turned his head to look at Zhuang Yu.

"Heh, little brat." Zhuang Yu curled his lips and gave an order to Ross.

When he arrived at the frontcourt, Zhuang Yu ran back to get the ball, then made a hand gesture. Nance Jr. came up to screen and Zhuang Yu moved to the left to switch defense, and Zhou An became his opponent.

At this time, the Lakers had a small lineup, Nance Jr. played at the 5 position, and Zhou An also played at the 5 position. The two were originally supposed to face off.

But after this pick-and-roll, a mismatch occurred, with Zhou An and Zhuang Yu facing off against each other.

For a moment, the fans became energized and excited.

"Hit him, hit him..."

"Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Yu..."

Some fans were shouting loudly for Zhuang Yu to play solo, while other fans were cheering for Zhuang Yu, looking like they were enjoying the fun.

Zhou An frowned, his heart was awed, his eyes were fixed on Zhuang Yu, one hand was raised in front of him, always on guard against Zhuang Yu's shooting. He was very excited, his blood was boiling, but at the same time he had an uncontrollable nervousness, which made his adrenaline soar.

The next moment, Zhuang Yu dribbled the ball to his left hand, and at the same time lowered his left shoulder, making a gesture to break through to the left.

"left."

Zhou An moved sideways quickly. With his adrenaline rushing, his reaction was incredibly fast, and he blocked Zhuang Yu's breakthrough route before anyone else.

However, in the next moment, Zhuang Yu dribbled the ball behind his back and switched the ball back to his right hand. He tapped his toes on the floor like a jumping elf, instantly widening the distance between him and Zhou An and accelerating again.

"not good."

Zhou An cried out inwardly that something was wrong and quickly adjusted his pace.

But even though his adrenaline surged, making his movements faster, he still didn't have time to stop Zhuang Yu from breaking through. He could only turn around and chase after Zhuang Yu as much as possible.

At the same time, Jarrett Allen took a step forward and bent over, ready to make up for the defense. His right hand was dangling, a little itchy, and he thought if he could block Zhuang Yu...

However, at this moment, Zhuang Yu suddenly stepped on the brakes, his body stopped moving at a high speed in an instant, and he leaned towards Zhou An and then jumped up.

"It happened."

Zhou An's face changed and he hurriedly stopped, but he still bumped into Zhuang Yu. Then he heard the referee's whistle and he knew he had been fooled.

This is clearly a deliberate foul.

Zhuang Yu was knocked forward and threw the basketball in his hand out. It looked a bit hasty and casual, but in the end the basketball fell into the net accurately, stunning Jarrett Allen.

This...is this a deliberate foul?

Zhuang Yu steadied himself, turned around and blinked at Zhou An. Zhou An put his hands on his hips with a depressed look on his face, thinking to himself, I knew you did it on purpose.

At this time, Zhuang Yu walked past Zhou An, walked down the free throw line, and said to Zhou An: "Hey, you are still too naive, so easy to deceive."

Zhou An was upset for a moment, but he immediately came to his senses and glared at Zhuang Yu with a dark face: "Don't try to mess with my mentality, it's useless."

Zhuang Yu laughed and didn't care. He stood on the free throw line and made the free throw steadily. I was just joking with you, but you got so anxious.

This 2+1 is equivalent to returning an Answer ball.

When the Nets attacked, Irving came to the frontcourt and was about to play one-on-one when he saw Zhuang Yu coming towards him. He couldn't help but frown, and his face looked a little unhappy.

You are targeting me, right? You think I don’t dare to fight you one-on-one?

There were clearly Rose and Clarkson on the court at that time, but you didn't let them defend me, but came by yourself and wanted to hold me back, right?

Immediately, Irving made a gesture, signaling his teammates to move away so that he could play against Zhuang Yu alone.

He was seen lowering his center of gravity and swinging his shoulders back and forth. The basketball in his hands seemed to turn into a phantom, flying up and down as he moved, which was dazzling to watch.

And at this moment, he suddenly accelerated, with almost no warning and very abruptly, and took a step to the left in an instant.

Everyone knows that Irving's combination of man and ball is at the T0 level in the league, almost a gap in level, but the reason why his breakthrough is so sharp is inseparable from his combination of man and ball, and also related to his speed - his speed is actually very fast.

Especially the first step, combined with his gorgeous and deceptive moves, people will always be passed before they have time to react.

Even if Zhuang Yu could make predictions in advance, he could not see through all of Irving's fake moves. After all, special abilities cannot predict the future.

Sometimes Zhuang Yu also needs to rely on his experience and defensive awareness to guess.

When the opponent is too fast, Zhuang Yu may not be able to respond in advance.

For example, although Zhuang Yu's reaction was fast enough at this moment, Irving still passed him by half a body length. However, Zhuang Yu had the advantage of height and arm span, and he quickly moved sideways to Irving.

Irving broke into the inside and jumped up quickly, but he did not shoot in a hurry. Instead, he curled up his body in the air, did a pull-up, and then sent the ball to the basket.

Zhuang Yu stretched out his hand, but still couldn't touch it.

In this ball, Irving not only pulled up for a layup, but the arc of the pull-up was very large, and the position where the basketball hit the backboard was very high, a bit like a high shot, and successfully avoided Zhuang Yu's block.

"nice shot."

"What a beautiful shot."

In the audience, many fans cheered.

This ball is indeed very beautiful. Irving is still very strong and can often score some difficult goals that are amazing.

But when he turned around, Zhuang Yu immediately retaliated.

He first broke through and passed the ball, then moved quickly, got rid of the cover of his teammates, returned to the three-point line, received the ball and shot immediately.

With a slight sound, the basketball went through the net and hit the target.

In the audience, the home fans cheered, and Coach Scott on the sidelines couldn't help but smile.

The reason why he kept Zhuang Yu on the court was, firstly, to disrupt the Nets' rotation rhythm; secondly, to let Zhuang Yu play to his strengths. They not only wanted to lead the Nets, but also wanted to widen the score gap.

If the Nets keep Durant on the court, their rotation rhythm will be disrupted.

But if Durant is replaced like now and Irving is left on the court, although Irving is also very capable, in Coach Scott's opinion he is definitely not as good as Zhuang Yu, then their side will be able to gain the upper hand and widen the score gap.

The only thing that bothered Coach Scott a little was that something went wrong.

When Zhuang Yu made the three-pointer, Irving turned around and played against Zhuang Yu again.

This time it was not successful and the basketball bounced out of the basket, but Zhou An grabbed the rebound and scored on the second attack under the basket.

In the following rounds, Zhou An's performance was excellent. He was not only able to grab rebounds, but also score points. Originally, Irving alone would not be able to compete with Zhuang Yu, but Zhou An made a three-pointer, a tip-in, and 2 of 1 free throws. As a substitute, he actually scored 6 points. Together with Irving, he was not inferior to Zhuang Yu.

After a few minutes, although the Lakers still had the upper hand, the score gap did not widen as Coach Scott expected.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by only 1 point.

"Haha, we let Zhuang Yu play the entire quarter, but you only led by 1 point," Nash couldn't help laughing. "I'll let Durant play with the substitutes during the rotation in the second quarter. Let's see if you still want to send Zhuang Yu?"

Nash was in a good mood at the moment, and he liked Zhou An more and more. He thought that this young man was good and he really did strike hard when he said he would.

Bravo.
