Chapter Thirty-Five: The Fat Man Who Dies
In the next time, Wade was still hot, although he scored frequently, but his teammates did not give it a try.
But in the following time, Shangguan Yu did not get another chance to play against Wade, and when Shangguan Yu came up in the fourth quarter, he was already resting off the court.
Maybe there is less of a target to vent, Shangguan Yu's performance is not so eye-catching, just shooting a three-pointer, and then making a contribution on the defensive end, or giving an assist to his teammates.
Although Wade exploded in this game, scoring 30 points, it still did not help the team win.
The Celtics won a victory on the road, Shangguan Yu made four of six shots, contributed 12 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals, and the performance was still very comprehensive, but it was still not eye-catching.
After the back-to-back matches, Shangguan Yu had three days of rest.
When I returned to my home in Boston, I didn't see Murong Fei, nor did I see her best friend.
Every day, Shangguan Yu got up early and went out to exercise, and after training in the evening, it was already late when he returned home. Intense training has a lot of physical exertion, so you need to constantly replenish your food. Under the guidance of a professional nutritionist, the food supplemented by Shangguan Yu was very healthy, and it did not make him look obese, but his muscle lines became more and more obvious.
During the three days in Boston, Shangguan Yu didn't see Murong Fei, and they were all busy with each other's affairs.
As for Murong Fei, although there was no love at first sight, Shangguan Yu seemed to be a little tempted, so he still missed it a little.
But he soon got on a plane and headed to the next city, Sacramento, where he would face the Kings.
In the last game, Shangguan Yu played the No. 4 position, which seemed to work well, so this time Brad Stevens continued to let Shangguan Yu play the No. 4 position.
With Shangguan Yu's pull and containment, as well as wonderful assists from time to time, the Celtics pressed the Kings to play.
Especially when Thomas was on the field at the same time as Guan Yu, the Celtics' offense was even more vigorous. After running and passing again and again, as well as the blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Thomas, he can give assists to his teammates. He and Thomas are linked to the team's overall offense, so they blossom inside and out.
On the defensive end, although Shangguan Yu is not the last defensive player, he is the most active player in assisting the defense. It can help Thomas very well and limit the opposing defenders.
Although Shangguan Yu had an average feel, he made three points in one of four shots, used two free throws, and scored 5 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds. But the Celtics, four scored twenty points, so they won easily.
With the momentum of two consecutive away wins, the Celtics went to San Antonio after a day of rest.
The Spurs' home stadium has been a nightmare for many teams, and before Celtic's visit, they had held an 18-game winning streak at home (continuing the previous season's nine-game winning streak).
But the Celtics will still be full of confidence, as a civilian team, they can knock down a big club, which is what they are more willing to do.
At the entrance ceremony, the Spurs' starting five Tigers were the last to appear, and the last one was the Stone Buddha Duncan, who had been on this team for 19 years and brought back five championship trophies for this city.
Even if you have worked hard for 19 years and have not brought back any honor, you are worthy of the respect of the people here, because perseverance is always admirable. What's more, he brought back a great honor, but he was still very low-key and ran into the stadium with a calm face.
In the ATT Center Arena, there was a tsunami-like applause and screams, which were given to the heroes of this city, Shangguan Yu was very envious, and he also hoped that one day, he could get the cheers of the fans of the whole city. I'm also looking forward to playing against a player like Duncan.
The boos from the home fans did not scare the Celtic players.
The Celtics took the lead from the start of the game, with Bradley hitting a jumper from 19 feet out to break the scoring drought. And it has been firmly suppressed in the score. So the Spurs quickly made adjustments, and just over halfway through the first quarter, they were the first to make substitutions when they were down by 10 points.
Shangguan Yu also missed the opportunity to play against Duncan, and the Spurs' substitution adjustments quickly worked, with Dio and Ginobili, coupled with Aldridge's play, tied the score with less than 3 minutes left in the first quarter.
Shangguan Yu was ordered to come on as a substitute at this time to replace Johnson.
However, as soon as he debuted, he was educated by the flexible fat man and the old man of the stadium, Dior. He singled Shangguan Yu in the low post, used the tonnage to press Shangguan Yu to the basket, and then shook Shangguan Yu away with flexible feet and easily hooked his hand.
This ball is invincible, whether it is from technology or experience, it has been completely exploded.
But Shangguan Yu is young, has physical strength, and on the offensive end, he did not go to the inside singles. Instead, he kept running on the outside, using the cover of his teammates to run out of three-point space.
With a slight click, Dior shook it up, but as a floor flow player, Dior did not jump very high, and soon pounced again, but fortunately, Shangguan Yu had already made a move and was not blocked. It felt good this time and hit a key three-pointer.
In the next round, Dio did not want to be in the inside line, but ran out to block Ginobili, and Shangguan Yu could only follow. And this time, Shangguan Yu finally saw how demonic Ginobili, known as the demon knife, was in this alliance, and how sassy he was when he played.
At the end of their block, Shangguan Yu delayed a few steps and let RJ Hunter go over to defend. I thought Ginobili couldn't pass the ball, but a coquettish back pass actually handed the ball to Dio.
Shangguan Yu hurriedly made up for it, and the Diao ball broke through, but he didn't get rid of it, and he suddenly passed the ball out, David West received the ball from the free throw line, and hit a mid-range jumper.
It is a model of team basketball, and without the best opportunity, it will not be easy to shoot. And the young Celtics players are once again being educated by the old birds.
But the Celtics also counterattacked, with a wonderful continuous pass of the ball, and Turner hit an empty three-point shot under the cover of Shangguan Yu.
On the defensive end, the Celtics still didn't have much to do, and with three players who combined for more than 100 years old, the Spurs still firmly controlled the game. But the Celtic players are playing more physical against them to drain their stamina.
The pressure on the Celtics' defense increased, and the shooting percentage of Spurs players began to decline after their physical strength decreased. Led by Turner and RJ Hunter, the Celtics played quick counter-attacks and held the score tightly.
But at the end of the first quarter, the Spurs still led by five points, 30-25.
