Chapter 271: Winning in Overtime
While listening to the coach's tactics, he checked his own tasks, and when he saw the details of the tasks clearly, Shangguan Yu was also a little surprised, it was actually a similar temporary task. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
[Mission Name]: Hit the Killer
[Task content]: At the last moment of the game, drag the game into overtime with a mid-pitch to show your killer nature as the king of mid-pitch;
[Quest Reward]: None!
[Quest Punishment]: None!
Last time it was to kill the suspense of the game, this time it was fortunately dragged into overtime, if it is also the suspense of killing the game, then Shangguan Yu can choose to go to the corner and cry for a while.
has the experience of being killed in the first game, presumably this goal, the eagles will never let Shangguan Yu catch the ball so easily, and will not let him have a chance to shoot. In fact, even Shangguan Yu thought that this time, Coach Steven would not hand over the last shot to himself.
After all, Shangguan Yu's hand feeling today is average, and under the opponent's tight defense in this game, he only made 9 shots, hit 4 of them, and scored 10 points.
Thomas remained solid today, scoring 22 points on 10-of-20 shooting. The starting four all scored double-doubles, and the hand felt okay, and there was Smart who scored 20 points on 7-of-15 shooting on the bench. In general, Coach Stevens still has a lot of options for the last shot, and Shangguan Yu is already thinking about how to grab the right to shoot this time, but what he didn't expect is that Coach Stevens still keeps the last shot for himself.
"This time for the attack, Isaiah, you come here to catch the ball, press the time, Yu you go to the bottom corner to ambush, and then come around from this side, using Jonas's blocking to catch the ball. Others start looking for open opportunities, and after getting the ball, you can choose to come by yourself or give it to a teammate to finish. ”
Shangguan Yu immediately responded: "No problem!"
"Victory!"
Shangguan Yu roared, and the others also shouted: "Victory!"
This offense, Coach Stevens' idea is to let the Celtics have an early chance to score two points quickly, and if they can, they will drag it out until the last second and make a three-pointer. In the current situation, the opponent will definitely not let the Celtics shoot three points, and the defensive intensity on the outside will definitely be great.
In fact, it is a good choice to hand over Thomas to the inside, but Coach Stevens did this, probably to surprise the other party.
"In the current situation, it is most reasonable to play inside, and it is more reasonable for you to hand over the ball to Thomas, and if it is to give Shangguan Yu the last shot, it is also okay. ”
Director Zhang once again brought out his theory, and Yang Yi on the side analyzed: "This ball should be played for Thomas, he is in the best condition today, Shangguan Yu feels average, it is estimated that the last ball will not be executed." I think the Celtics are going to score two points. ”
The game restarted, and everyone's eyes shifted to the pitch once again.
Jerebko followed Guan Yu to cover Thomas continuously and helped him get the ball smoothly, and Shangguan Yu immediately lurked to the bottom line. Indeed, the Eagles did not forget Shangguan Yu's point, and sent Sefolosha to follow Shangguan Yu. Just looking at the current situation, the Celtics' last attack is to let Thomas come.
With only 10 seconds left in the game, Shangguan Yu suddenly started, Jerebko's cover was timely, and Shangguan Yu's excellent off-ball run prevented Sefolosha from following in time. Outside the 60-degree three-point line on the left side, Shangguanyu received a cross pass from Thomas.
The moment he received the ball, Shangguan Yu was about to shoot, and Sefolosha immediately pounced.
Feigned to shake the opponent, Shangguan Yu took advantage of the situation to get off the ball and kill towards the inside. Sefolosha was not slow to react, and posted it again, but just after hitting a big step inside the three-point line, Shangguan Yu suddenly collected the ball and turned around to make a jump shot.
Seflosha and Millsap pounced at the same time, but under the defense of the two, Shangguan Yu still threw the ball, leaning back elegantly, making a standard shot, and the action was done in one go.
"Shangguan Yu has made a shot! Can this goal be scored!?"
Director Yang Yi shouted excitedly, everyone did not expect that the Celtics would make such a choice. Coach Stevens actually wanted Shangguan Yu to shoot three points, but he didn't expect that he actually chose a mid-range shot, but now he can only stare at the ball like the fans.
"The ball is in!"
The scene was boiling, and Shangguan Yu hit a shot, pulling the two sides to the same running line again. However, it is still left to the opponent, and in a little more than three seconds, the eagles still have a chance to kill.
It's just a pity that the Eagles' tactics were recognized, and they originally wanted to hand it over to Millsap to complete the final blow, but he was locked up by the Celtics and had no chance to catch the ball at all. Teague chose to come on his own, striking iron again, and the two sides went into overtime.
Seeing hope in hand, and finally disillusionment, morale was very bad for the Eagles.
And the Celtics relied on Shangguan Yu's mid-range shot, once again saw the hope of winning, and their morale skyrocketed.
After entering overtime, Jerebko won the jump ball again, Shangguan Yu fell into position early, after Thomas took the ball, he threw it directly to Shangguan Yu, and before the other party could react, Shangguan Yu raised his hand and hit a three-point shot, 95-92, and the Celtics overtook the score!
Millsap, who was brave for a whole game, completely withered in overtime, missed the basket, missed the rebound, and the rebound was taken by Shangguan Yu, Thomas walked away, and one person attacked the basket, causing Bazemore to foul the beater, hit both free throws, and the Celtics scored 5 points in a row.
At this moment, the Celtics were full of energy, and their defensive enthusiasm was greatly improved, almost defending the opponent for 24 seconds, but under the tight defense, Korver's three-point shot popped out of the frame.
Although the Celtics were dumb in offense, the Hawks did not score a point for three minutes.
Shangguan Yu hit another three-pointer with 1 minute and 50 seconds left in the game. Then Thomas scored 4 points in a row to completely kill the suspense of the game.
In the final moments, Korver finally made a three-pointer, but it was too late, and in the end, the Celtics relied on a 12-3 offensive surge in overtime to win the Hawks 104-95, and the overall score became 3-1.
Millsap, who had 45 points and 13 rebounds in this game, could only watch the Celtics celebrate the victory, and then turned around and walked back to the locker room alone.
The Celtics' best performance was still Thomas, who scored a team-high 28 points and 6 assists, and even kept up with Guan Yu's outstanding performance in overtime and completely defeated the opponent.
A long-lost smile appeared on Shangguan Yu's face, even if it was a lore in that game, he didn't smile much, but today he smiled happily.
Because as long as they win one more game, then the Celtics can advance to the next round.
