Chapter Seventy-Seven: Worthy of the Athletics Team
Perhaps affected by Curry's clock-out in the third quarter, the Celtics' main force is very ferocious, and the offense is stronger than another. At halftime, they had a 15-point lead.
However, Shangguan Yu was not very happy to play, especially when he led the team alone, the 76ers often wrapped up, and the defense was very timely, and there were basically not too many opportunities to shoot. On the defensive end, Covington always forced Shangguan Yu, and Shangguan Yu didn't have much to do with him, and he scored 12 points and 5 rebounds in half a game.
On the other hand, Shangguan Yu only scored a pitiful 6 points, except for the first two three-pointers, and the next three shots were all lost.
At the beginning of the second half, Thomas, Bradley and Crowder scored one after another to widen the gap again. When Shangguan Yu appeared on the stage, the score difference had expanded to 30 points.
When Shangguan Yu was with Smart, Turner, Olynyk, and Gerebuko, Shangguan Yu finally regained his form. After all, if they grab the rebound, they will hand it over to Shangguan Yu to shoot. In the end, Shangguan Yu shot 6 of 11 and scored 17 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal.
Okafor played 30 minutes in this game, but his condition was average, only 10 points and 6 rebounds.
In the confrontation between the two out of place, Shangguan Yu blew it up, and the call for Shangguan Yu to join the All-Star Rookie Game is getting higher and higher.
But Shangguan Yu was more satisfied with the fact that there was a task of 5 medium and long-distance jumpers in the game, and the ability value was given away for nothing, Shangguan Yu had no reason to refuse, and once again obtained a little ability value, Shangguan Yu was full of joy.
The back-to-back two consecutive away games are a great test for the players, but fortunately, the game against the 76ers did not consume too much of the Celtics' strength.
Challenging the Wizards away, after several encounters, the Wizards' forward line and defense Shangguan Yu have a lot of experience. Even with Olynyk, there is no way to play too good a pick-and-roll effect. Shangguan Yu had limited opportunities, and under the strict defense of the Wizards, Shangguan Yu did not score any of the first three shots.
When following that group of familiar substitutes, Shangguan Yu finally found his form and hit three points in a row.
The Wizards' forward defenders can only wrap up Guan Yu, and his organizational skills are once again brought into play. In the gap between the two of them, he made a beautiful pass.
Turner, Olynyk and Smart didn't waste their chances and hit the basket frequently.
In the first half of the fourth quarter, the Celtics played a wave of 11-0 small surge to seal the victory of the game.
In the end, the Celtics won 116-91 on the road, Shangguan Yu scored 13 points on 4-of-99 shooting, and delivered a game-high 10 assists to score a double-double again.
Shangguan Yu, who aspires to become an all-round basketball master, suddenly found that even two pairs were a luxury, and instantly hid his face and cried.
The Celtics ended a two-game winning streak and a three-game winning streak before returning to Boston, where Shangguan Yu was engaged in new training. Although the current George has not returned, he can help Shangguan Yu and solve a lot of problems. So he can devote himself to training and improve his strength faster.
On January 27th, I returned to the familiar TD Garden Center Arena, and the whole person was excited. Although he is still used as a substitute, as the playing time increases, Shangguan Yu will get more and more opportunities to perform.
Now Shangguan Yu has found out how wise it was to ask for 15 minutes of playing time when signing the contract. Otherwise, during the downturn, it is estimated that they will be hidden by the snow. Although the Celtics don't have a superstar, it's because of that that that everyone is desperate.
No one wants to lose to anyone, the internal competition is very strong, and Coach Stevens is whoever plays well. The only one who has some privileges is Thomas, but this kind of atmosphere can force the best form of the players. Now the Celtics' record says it all, they have squeezed into the top four in the East.
The visiting Denver Nuggets, since sending away coach George Karl and trading the alcoholic Lawson, is the team's rebuilding period. Although Emmanuel Moodier finished seventh in the picture, the rebuilding did not work well.
Moodier's performance, somewhat sorry for his pick, in the last month's rookie list, he has been surpassed by Shangguan Yu. As a guard with average shooting ability and a lot of turnovers, it's hard to expect him to have a good performance.
However, the Denver Nuggets, known as the basketball track and field team, are all macho men who can run and jump. Among them, there are "half-orcs" Faried, and Will Barton, who is thin but has amazing physical fitness.
Although Lawson left the team, the Nuggets' style of play remained the same, which was to play fast counterattacks.
Shangguan Yu is going to face today, all of them are some fierce people, including the Nuggets' top scorer Gallinari, he is a big man who can be inside and out, and when defending, it is still more troublesome.
Although he is 40 years old, Mike Miller's three points, Shangguan Yu is still a little jealous.
When attacking, Shangguan Yu often faced Faried's defense, and in the face of such a running and jumping muscular man, Shangguan Yu still didn't have a good way. Especially when shooting, their interference can easily make Shangguan Yu lose his balance, and when the center of gravity is unstable, the accuracy will also decrease.
The game started very boringly, the two sides couldn't find their feel for a long time, and after two minutes of switchback running, Bradley won the game on the blue, but the two sides played very anxiously, and the score was tight.
After half a quarter, the Celtics only led by two points at 13-11.
Coach Stevens called Shangguan Yu over: "Yu, just rest assured to shoot after you get on the court, and use your shot to make the opponent change their defensive strategy." ”
Although Moodier couldn't defend Thomas, the interior players' supplemental defense made Thomas unable to organize the offense well. Johnson, on the other hand, prefers to stay inside, so the space can't be pulled apart. There are no three-point stable shooters on the court, and the Nuggets just need to guard the inside, but after Shangguan Yu comes on the court, all that will change.
Thomas dribbled past Moodier and Gallinari had to make up for it. Thomas found Shangguan Yu in the cracks, and the ball came out against Gallinari's back, the ball was very hidden, and Shangguan Yu's position was also well found.
It's an absolute vacancy, Faried is also on the inside, and the closest to Shangguan Yu is Barton. However, before he could pounce, Shangguan Yu had already shot the ball, and the three-point skill package was triggered again, and the ball fell steadily into the basket.
But Shangguan Yu was sweating in fright, because a figure flew over.
It was Barton, who came over to make up for the defense, and his fingertips almost touched the ball, and Shangguan Yu could only sigh.
Jumping so high, worthy of the track and field team!
If it weren't for Shangguan Yu's shot with a little back, it is estimated that this ball would have been covered by him.
