After the Lakers came back from a short timeout of 20 seconds, they unsurprisingly handed the ball into Kobe's hands. Although Clarkson is in better shape, when Kobe Bryant is on the court, the Lakers will still choose to make him the first offensive initiator on the court at the last moment.
Kobe Bryant took the ball to seek opportunities on the outside, and Shangguan Yu knew that he was more likely to choose a mid-to-long-range jumper. Although Shangguan Yu fought very outside, he was not far from Kobe. It was Crowder who was targeting Kobe, he clinged to Kobe Bryant tightly, not giving him a chance to break through easily, Kobe Bryant could only choose to play with his back alone.
Chisel once, chisel twice, and chisel for the third time, Shangguan Yu has already rushed over.
"Be careful. ”
Kobe Bryant was alert and wanted to grab the ball when Shangguan Yu pounced, although he still succeeded.
However, Shangguan Yu and Crowder have formed a trap, and Kobe can only pass the ball.
As soon as Clarkson got the ball, Thomas had already posted it, and Shangguan Yu once again struck out from the side, and after a strange step, he cut the basketball away.
Shangguan Yu slapped forward hard, Thomas had already killed, and before Clarkson arrived, he took the basketball, and then the speed of the two was fighting, obviously Thomas had a slight advantage.
Because there was no one in front of Thomas, Clarkson didn't dare to foul easily.
The two battled physically under the basket, and Thomas withstood the pressure and threw the ball into the basket to give the Celtics a one-point lead.
But the game wasn't over yet, and with the last 39 seconds remaining, both sides had one more chance to attack.
Obviously the pressure is more on the Lakers, and if they don't score the ball this time, then there is little chance of winning. At such a critical time, it is obvious that the Lakers players will not be allowed to make easy shots, perhaps it was the steal just now that made Coach Stevens believe in Shangguan Yu, so he did not replace him.
Bryant was still the shining star, with the last ten seconds left in the game, he used the pick-and-roll to go inside, but at 45 degrees and 20 feet on the right side, he suddenly stopped, turned and threw a backward jumper.
Crowder pounced on the first time, but still didn't cover the ball, and the picturesque jumper was once again presented.
Brush!
What is called powerlessness, this is powerlessness.
Obviously you've done a good job defensively, you've done a good job, but somebody else can still get shots.
Bryant hit another key mid-range shot to give the Lakers a one-point lead again, and with only 17.6 seconds left before the end of the game, the Celtics still had a chance.
However, at this time, it must be Thomas as the first offensive point, allowing him to find opportunities to score under the basket or make kills, and Coach Stevens has the same idea, Shangguan Yu stood on the outside line as soon as possible, helping his teammates to cover, and he had no idea of taking the ball at all.
At the last critical moment, Shangguan Yu turned the tide, so this ball, everyone thought that Shangguan Yu would take the ball, but he didn't.
This made Randle a little speechless when he came out, and also made Coach Scott off the field blind.
Thomas took advantage of the cover and went to the inside, but Hibbert was inside, and he didn't have many chances. Just when he was thinking about whether to go hard, he saw that Shangguan Yu was in a vacant position, and Thomas passed the ball out.
Seeing that there was not much time, Shangguan Yu no longer hesitated, took a step inside the three-point line, turned around and threw a jumper, and his movements did not drag the slightest mud and water.
Randall didn't expect Shangguan Yu to be so decisive, and when he pounced, the ball had already been shot.
One, two, three.
Under the watchful eye, the ball finally fell into the net, and Shangguan Yu used Kobe Bryant's way to continue the suspense of the game.
With only 5.3 seconds left in the game, will Kobe be able to keep hitting shots to end the game?
Shangguan Yu didn't know, and no one knew, so he could only wait for the moment when the game was over before the ending would be revealed.
In order to do a better job of defense this time, Coach Stevens replaced Shangguan Yu, and the game restarted, Kobe Bryant ran out to catch the ball under cover, forced a shot from outside the three-point line, the ball jumped out of the basket, and the rebound was taken by Olynyk.
At the end of the game, the Celtics won a tough game, Shangguan Yu hit two key three-pointers in the last two minutes, gave a wonderful steal, and a quasi-final step-back jumper.
Shangguan Yu contributed 20 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds, as well as a career-high 6 steals, and was a well-deserved MVP of the game.
At the end of the game, Kobe Bryant stood on the court and stared for a long time, perhaps looking for the light and shadow of his youth.
After returning to the court, he shook hands with the Celtic players one by one, then took off the shoes, signed his name, and gave it to Shangguan Yu: "Yu, you performed great, these shoes are for you." ”
Shangguan Yu took the sneakers, sniffed them a little, and felt that the smell was not so heavy, so he accepted them with satisfaction, and said to Kobe Bryant with a smile: "Thank you!"
After hugging Kobe Bryant affectionately, Shangguan Yu said to him: "Can you tell me, why do you always hit shots at critical moments?"
Kobe Bryant smiled slightly: "Aren't you the same today?"
Shangguan Yu knew his strength: "Frankly speaking, I had better luck today." ”
Kobe Bryant put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "A heart that never admits defeat, and the idea of entering." ”
Shangguan Yu said: "Thank you for your teachings, I will continue to work hard." ”
Before leaving, Kobe Bryant said to Shangguan Yu: "If there is a chance, I must defeat you." If I had been a few years younger, maybe you could have forced me to be a better me. ”
With a victory, bid farewell to him he hated and loved, and pay tribute to his eternal classics.
But time never stops flowing, the past will be past, and all people can do is to grasp today and look forward to a better tomorrow.
At the end of the game against the Lakers, the Celtics were given three days off, and Shangguan Yu trained harder.
However, because of his outstanding performance this month, he has completely entered the eyes of major media and fans.
In the new round of rookie rankings, Shangguan Yu averaged 14.2 points, 6.4 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game, defeating Porzingis, the best rookie in the East last month, and was successfully elected as the best rookie in the East in December.
Now Shangguan Yu has finally emerged and become a shining new star.
Of course, being famous also has famous troubles, Shangguan Yu can only get up early in the morning to run with weights, because he is afraid of being intercepted by fans. The troubles on the field are not the most sad for Shangguan Yu, but the pressure from the game.
The current Shangguan Yu is already worthy of special analysis by other teams. Even Murong Fei can see Shangguan Yu's shortcomings, and the NBA professional analysis team with sufficient background will quickly find out Shangguan Yu's shortcomings.
The offense relies too much on three-point shooting, the mid-range jumper is inconsistent, and the offensive means are single.
The most important point is the poor physical confrontation.
