Chapter Eighty-Seven: Limiting the Opponent's Shooting Percentage

Barkley has now become a fan of Shangguan Yu, so he didn't react at the first time, Chris Webb continued: "When Marcus defended him just now, he didn't make a single shot, and he handed the ball to the inside. But as soon as Marcus got off the court, the Pistons' defense shrank, and he immediately looked for opportunities to shoot, so he had a high ball quotient. ”

Barkley disagreed: "Can a person who can play with a big fart stock have a high ball quotient?"

Chris Webb was speechless for a moment, he just wanted to make an expression, I can't answer what you say.

After the break, the game resumed, and the Celtics still played the same way, and there was no rush anyway.

Now the score is 33-20, and the Celtics are on the verge of pulling the deficit beyond 15 points.

It's not suitable yet, and the main force will be replaced, so you can only use a small lineup. Coach Van Gundy knew he couldn't prevent it, so he took advantage of the small lineup and picked up the tempo.

The Celtics weren't slow to move, but Jennings still found an opportunity, got to the basket and drew a foul to make two free throws.

The Pistons, led by Jennings, have finally picked up a bit of an attack. And the Celtics are still scoring and playing, Shangguan Yu and Turner and Smart are shooting outside, and Jerebuk and Olynyk are making trouble on the inside.

However, the Pistons strengthened their defense of Shangguan Yu, so his shooting percentage began to decline, but Turner and Smart found their touch and hit shots one after another.

Seeing the widening of the point difference, the Pistons made substitution adjustments, replacing Andre Drummond and Eiason Ilyasova to increase the interior height and protect the rebound.

This kind of substitution adjustment really worked, but the Celtics also made adjustments, Olynyk pulled to the outside to cover, Andre Drummond generally did not follow, Shangguan Yu grabbed the outside shot, and hit two shots again.

Halfway through the second quarter, Shangguan Yu was replaced, but the Pistons' substitution adjustments did not recover many points, and the Celtics still maintained a 10-point lead.

Morris wanted to avenge his brother, but he didn't have a chance, because neither of them had a chance to play against each other. However, the all-round basketball task system is very face-saving, and the first defensive task was handed over to Shangguan Yu after the start of the second half.

Bite!

System Tip: Limit Marcus Morris to less than 40% shooting percentage (Mission Progress: 50%);

This time, Shangguan Yu was sure that the system was deliberate, but there was no way but to do it.

Since Marcus wants to face him head-on, then Shangguan Yu will fulfill him. However, he is now shooting 2-of-4 and looks pretty good. I hope that in the third quarter, he can play quickly and he can stay on the court a little longer.

Coach Stevens was very face-saving, and in the third quarter of the game, when there were more than 7 minutes left, he replaced Shangguan Yu on the court.

Perhaps in order to test the new lineup, Shangguan Yu appeared as the No. 2 position. In this way, it is Aamir Johnson who defends Morris, although he is a defensive stalwort, but he is getting older, and he can't keep up with Morris.

More importantly, Shangguan Yu wants to rely on his own strength to complete the task.

Shangguan Yu brought Aamir Johnson and Claudra over: "Amir, you go to defend the No. 3 position." Jay, you go to defend the No. 2 position and hand over Marcus to me!"

Claude said, "Didn't the coach tell you to defend against 2? Can you guard against him?"

Shangguan Yu said: "Believe me, it's really not good, you can help me make up for it, OK?"

Aamir Johnson suddenly realized: "Yu, I understand, you have to blow him up, okay, no problem!"

Shangguan Yu has a good relationship with his teammates, and everyone knows that in terms of commercial value alone, he will blow up all the players in the team. Therefore, no one dared to let Shangguan Yu buy water bags, and they would try their best to meet Shangguan Yu's request. It is even necessary to have a good relationship with Guan Yu and get more Chinese fans.

The Celtics during the Big Four did accumulate a lot of Chinese fans, but with the departure of the Big Four, the Celtics Chinese fans have become fewer and fewer.

But now with the strong rise of Shangguanyu, more and more fans in China have begun to pay attention to this team.

All this is nonsense, because Shangguan Yu has achieved the goal he wants, Shangguan Yu walked to Morris's side: "You have the ability to beat me!"

It is estimated that even Morris didn't expect Shangguan Yu to jump like that. As a rookie, doesn't he have any consciousness at all?

Morris was angry and saw Jackson get the ball, and immediately fell low to ask for the ball.

The tactics that were originally meant to be given to Drummond can now only be handed over to Morris, because looking at his appearance, he will not go out easily.

After taking the ball, Morris tentatively leaned back and felt that Shangguan Yu was very strong. So the second time, he hit back very hard, but he couldn't find Shangguan Yu, and he almost lost his footsteps and made a mistake. However, with years of playing experience, he is more sophisticated, and directly chooses to turn around and shoot backwards for jumpers. Because Shangguan Yu is far away, when he pounces, he can only interfere slightly.

Although the basketball stumbled, it finally fell into the basket, Morris hit the shot, and the shooting rate directly became 60%, and Shangguan Yu's head was a little big.

Guan Yu's strategy on this ball is still correct, but he withdrew relatively backward, so he couldn't follow back to defend, and he will definitely look good in the next ball.

Morris scored a goal and became even more irritable: "If you still want to play yin, you can use all the tricks, I want to beat you to the heart!"

Shangguan Yu still smiled slightly.

On the offensive end, the Celtics have finally shown the power of this lineup, especially against teams with strong interior lines.

The five people present all have the ability to shoot from medium to long distance. Shangguan Yu has an advantage over Pop, both in height and weight.

But when he is looking for opportunities on the outside, if the players on the inside don't come out, then he will shoot directly.

And if Morris, or Ilyasova, comes out to defend Shangguanyu. Then the interior Pistons don't have any advantage. Drummond's top defense is good, but his help defense is too poor, and Thomas is running, and he really doesn't have a good solution.

Morris chose to come out and target Guan Yu, Thomas sought cover, and went straight to the penalty area, and Drummond wanted to jump a big hat.

But Thomas handed the ball to Crowder, who faced Pope's defense and hit a mid-range jumper.

Reggie Jackson advanced with the ball, but before he could get into position, he saw Morris reach for the ball again in the low post. This made Reggie very unhappy, because he was also the boss of this team, but he could only give the ball to Morris, because this was one of the tactics of Big Van Gundy.

When he was coaching the Magic, he led the team to the Finals. The core tactic is to play around Howard, and around him, is a group of outside shooters.

Because Howard can grab rebounds, although the technique is very rough, but the interior is a hegemon. As soon as you encounter a bag, pass the ball to the shooter on the perimeter.

The Magic shooters at the time were very happy because Howard was the league's rebounding leader, and if he couldn't shoot, he could still snatch it back and then continue to shoot. It's just that they ended up losing to the two-core Lakers in the Finals.

But Big Van Gundy's style of play is still viable, so now the Pistons, he wants to do the same. Because Drummond is also the league's rebounding leader, but there are a few shooters around him, but the Pistons still focus on the interior.

Seeing Morris take the ball, the others pulled away, this kid just hit a ball, and now his confidence skyrocketed, and he attacked directly in the frame.

His pace was not faster than Shangguan Yu, so Shangguan Yu did not panic. Morris arrogantly dribbled the ball under his crotch, and then changed direction to break through, but Shangguan Yu followed closely.

This time, Morris wanted to force Shangguan Yu and complete a beautiful split.

But he didn't get his wish, because in the process of confrontation, he found that Shangguan Yu was not completely squeezed out. However, he didn't think about passing the ball in three steps.

Morris relied on the bounce to shoot strongly, Shangguan Yu had a good defensive rhythm, and when he was about to shoot, Shangguan Yu just pounced, and in the face of Shangguan Yu's interference, Morris forced to shoot.

Morris wasn't so lucky with this ball, the ball bounced out of the frame, but Drummond grabbed a rebound on Sallinger's head and scored a second attack.

Such a quality is really strong, looking at his movements, it is like pulling onions on dry land, and he is worthy of being a fierce man who was once called the first high school student in the United States.

It was the Celtics' turn to attack, and after blocking and dismantling with Crowder, the defense of Guan Yu became Pope. In this case, Thomas did not rush to the inside. And Shangguan Yu came to help Thomas block and dismantle, Reggie didn't dare to change his defense, because Shangguan Yu used his height to eat Reggie casually.

But after a delay, Reggie couldn't keep up with Thomas's rhythm, and Pope didn't change his guard now, but had to follow. After Shangguan Yu got out, Thomas's pass came to his hands.

Before Reggie could defend himself, Shangguan Yu made a three-point shot, although this ball jumped out of the basket. But Sallinger grabbed the rebound and handed it to Thomas to regroup, and Crowder missed a three-point shot as well.

Shangguan Yu didn't know when, he had already judged the position of the rebounding ball and rushed over as soon as possible. Pope, who was following behind, had no way to grab the ball from Shangguan Yu.

Because the ball was so far away, Drummond couldn't do anything about it.

The Celtics regrouped their offense, and this time the tempo suddenly picked up, and Thomas went inside to disrupt the opposition's formation. Shangguan Yu took advantage of Amir Johnson's cover to find an open space outside the 30-degree three-point line on the left side, and Sallinger passed the ball out in time.

This time the position was well found, two meters in front of Shangguan Yu, there were no defenders, the three-point skill package was activated again, and the ball hit steadily.

Shangguan Yu smiled at Morris, raised three fingers with both hands and ran back.
