Chapter 159: Not a pretty starter

(PS: 100 followers, plus more!)

These words made Shangguan Yumao pause, as a substitute, he could play to his heart's content, and he could play as much as he wanted, because no one could press him.

But after being promoted to the starting line-up, he always felt that Thomas was the real boss of this team, so he tried to show that he didn't want to fight for the ball.

In the next game, Shangguan Yu had to make changes.

It wasn't until more than 3 minutes into the second quarter that Shangguan Yu appeared again.

But by this time, the score had become 25-38, and the Celtics were 13 points behind.

The first attack that came up was launched by the Celtics, and now the field is full of substitute players, and Shangguan Yu seems to have found his familiar self again.

Use the cover pocket to get the ball on the outside and wait for the inside player to pick up the screen.

This time Taylor Zeller came out to cooperate, after the two blocked and dismantled, Taylor Zeller did not go to the inside line, Shangguan Yu did not go to the inside line, the two separated from the left and the right, and Derek Favors on the inside line made up for the defense. Shangguan Yu immediately passed the ball back to Tyler Zeller near the free throw line, which was within his range.

Facing the shorter Joe Ingles, Tyler Zeller did not hesitate and shot a mid-range jumper.

Brush!

The ball is hollow into the net!

The next round is the Jazz's offense, and now there is no big brother on the court, and whoever takes the ball will come by himself.

Trey Lyles' mid-range shot from 9 feet out deflected wide of the basket, and Shangguan Yu got stuck in position to protect the rebound.

Shangguan Yu passed the ball to Smart, who quickly advanced to the half with the ball. The Celtics didn't plan to settle down in a positional battle, the others ran quickly, and it was Shangguan Yu who used the cover to catch the ball. The feint shook a little, Hood was shaken away, and he took a step to shoot directly, his shot was very fast, and he didn't give others a chance to make up for the defense, this ball is there!"

Wang Meng looked very excited, and Yang Yi said on the side: "It's Shangguan Yu who stands up again, it seems that he is still a little more open to play as a substitute, but a player like him always has to be the team's starter." We'll have to wait and see how well they get along with Celtic's starters. ”

After Shangguan Yu appeared on the court, the Celtics' offensive and defensive ends have changed.

Trey Lyles hit the inside, and Shangguan Yu made up for it in time and slapped his shot down.

Although he didn't hold the ball, Shangguan Yu still roared excitedly: "Come on, wait for the hat!"

The current Shangguan Yu and the first quarter are like two people, under his leadership, the Celtics finally gradually caught up, and Shangguan Yu did not rest in this quarter. At the end of the second quarter, the run-in with the starters looked pretty good. However, in the first half, both sides did not feel good, and Celtic were even worse, so the half was still three points behind.

After the start of the second half, it was still the starter of the first half, and Shangguan Yu was lost again.

And infected by the rhythm of the crazy iron on the court, his shots were also missed. Coach Stevens was a little helpless, played less than 5 minutes, and could only replace Shangguan Yu again.

At the end of the third quarter, Shangguan Yu once again played with a substitute, and he once again found his form.

Unreasonable three-pointers, aggressive steals, timely defensive blocks, and beautiful second passes

Shangguan Yu seems to be omnipotent, but all these changes come from the glance in the stands.

In the last minute of this quarter, Shangguan Yu singled out Hood in a high position, and a wonderful pull ball was connected to the beautiful golden rooster independently, and hit a difficult jumper.

Immediately on the defensive end, the interior line made up for the defense in time to interfere with Gobert's shot.

Back in his own half, he played a delicate pick-and-roll with Tyler Zeller, who missed the layup but caused a foul on Gobert's hitter.

Tyler Zeller hit both free throws to tie the score at 72-73.

At the beginning of the final quarter, the Celtics came out on top to tie the score and firmly control the situation on the court.

Shangguan Yu's performance once again returned to the normal level, although the two sides fought until the last minute, but Shangguan Yu hit a key three-point shot in the last 50 seconds to help the Celtics overtake the score 96-95 and stabilize the situation on the court.

In the next round, it was another aggressive assist, cutting off Hayward's ball and handing it to Bradley for a fast break, who caused Hood's hand-pull foul when he made a layup.

Although he hit one of two free throws, the Jazz's next few shots were all out of the basket and could only be fouled.

In the end, the Celtics still won the game with difficulty, and Shangguan Yu still performed well.

He made 5 of 10 shots from the field and got 14 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals and 1 turnover.

The first debut performance cannot be described as beautiful.

But finally avenged the revenge, and the Celtic soldiers were still quite happy.

In this game, the Celtics scored 6 double-doubles, Crowder scored a game-high 22 points, and Thomas contributed 18 points and 9 assists, quasi-double-double data.

The atmosphere at the moment is good at the Celtics, everybody is involved in the offense, everybody wants to share the ball. So on the defensive end, the motivation is also high.

With another three-game winning streak, the Celtics have reason to celebrate, but Coach Stevens is a bit melancholy.

Because when Shangguan Yu was with the starter, he obviously couldn't let go, which not only made him not play, but also affected the performance of others, and he was a little nerve-wracking.

Bringing Shangguan Yu to the starting point is a task arranged by his superiors, and it is also what he wants to do.

But the chemistry is clearly not good, and in the next game, the Celtics will face the Trail Blazers, who are currently fourth in the West.

Although everyone is ranked fourth, it has always been strong in the west and weak in the east, so there is still a big gap in strength between the two teams.

In the current situation, Shangguan Yu can only be put on the bench first to ensure this victory.

After a two-day break, the Celtics will take on the visiting Portland Trail Blazers tonight.

Shangguan Yu has not been idle in the past two days, although Coach Stevens has made it clear that he will not start the next game. But Shangguan Yu still trained hard, and in the past two days of training, he began to practice some of Wade's perceptions of defense, as well as his stealing techniques and steps.

At the same time, I watched a lot of videos about Lillard's games, and in the process of learning, I remembered some of his habitual moves, and when I was defending, I could make targeted strategies.

Because of his hard training, he once again left Murong Fei in the cold, but Shangguan Yu didn't feel sorry for her.

Instead, he had to work harder, because he knew that in order to be with Murong Fei, he still needed to work harder, to climb one peak after another, and to stand at that peak in order to protect her. (To be continued.) )
