Chapter Eighty-Four: Porzingis
When Director Zhang Weiping saw the ball, his eyes lit up: "Shangguan Yu's defense this time is quite beautiful. He has a strong sense of position on the field, and he didn't succeed in the first time, and he withdrew immediately. And that jumping cap, it's pretty beautiful!"
Su Qun also said: "Shangguan Yu's single defense ability has always been criticized. But seeing that he is so good in helping and supplementing defense, I feel that the single defense is a little bit worse, and the problem is not very big. โ
While the two were talking, Anthony grabbed the ball and forced a shot to cause a foul on Crowder's beater.
Anthony hit two free throws to help the Knicks tighten the score.
And Thomas can't care so much now, gestures to play, three-point tactics continue to walk. And Porzingis can be regarded as keeping up with Guan Yu, letting Lopes stay on the inside line, and running out to defend against Guan Yu.
Seeing the big man come out, Shangguan Yu was even happier, because Thomas was quite jealous of Porzingis.
When he wanted to go to the basket, Porzingis came out and gave him a hat, but now that he is running, there is nothing to fear. Lรณpez moves too slowly, and Thomas eats him casually.
But Thomas still wanted Shangguan Yu to attack, and Shangguan Yu saw Porzingis floating outside with him, and ran more cheerfully. Porzingis wasn't slow to move, but that was for a No.5 player. For Shangguan Yu, this player who can 2, 3, 4, or even 5, he has nothing to take advantage of.
Thomas called Shangguan Yu to cover, Shangguan Yu blocked and demolished, Galloway didn't dare to let Thomas, so he pounced with Porzingis.
Thomas handed the ball to Shangguan Yu as soon as possible, and after taking the ball, Shangguan Yu made a gesture to make a move, because it was a good opportunity, but he was afraid that Porzingis would be able to cover it.
The first hit was a feint, but Porzingis immediately pounced, and after Shangguan Yu brought it over, he didn't make a move, and saw that he cut Thomas to the basket and stuffed it with a beautiful hanging pass.
Galloway was left behind and could only turn back in pursuit, and Lopes came to make up for it, but was deceived by Thomas's lever.
A beautiful hook layup and Thomas scored two points.
Porzingis was unhappy, but to no avail, he had to drop low again to ask for the ball alone.
This time, Shangguan Yu still pounced when he was about to turn around, but he was halfway through and suddenly stopped. Porzingis passed the ball out, and the ball thrown out could not be recovered at all, and Porzingis was teased again.
Because Shangguan Yu had already appeared in the passing path, he grabbed the ball and then quickly dribbled forward.
In the face of Afflalo's defense, he actually dribbled beautifully behind and easily passed it.
Instructor Su Qun shouted: "This ball is beautiful, I can't imagine Shangguan Yu's dribbling skills, it's not bad either!"
A nice shot to the ground that handed the ball from the crowd to Bradley, who ran forward, who ran wildly.
Su Qun instructed again: "Hey, this ball is very quintessential!"
Thomas followed up from the other side, Shangguan Yu followed up directly in the middle, and in the face of Anthony who was making up for the defense, Bradley did not dare to make a layup and handed the ball to Thomas.
The latter took three steps, but suddenly threw the ball to the middle, and Shangguan Yu, who had already followed up in place, jumped up with an air relay slam dunk.
Shangguan Yu, who landed on the ground, beat his chest and waved at the fans who supported him.
The fans who supported the Knicks at the scene began to be silent, Shangguan Yu was booed just now, and the fans who supported Shangguan Yu shouted and cheered at this moment.
Porzingis was angry, he thought that Shangguan Yu was provoking him, and when he wanted to ask for the ball in the low post, he didn't succeed.
Because Anthony, as the boss of the team, must have enough shots to see Anthony take the ball and play alone.
Porzingis came out to cover, and Anthony, after getting rid of Crowder's defense, directly ate raw at Sallinger, and smashed to the basket like a bulldozer. Sallinger couldn't bear it, Shangguan Yu's block was unsuccessful, and Anthony hit the board with a strong basket.
Seeing Antony score, Porzingis was very excited, to be reasonable, this goal has nothing to do with him, it can only show that Antony's personal ability is too strong.
As a Tanhua show of the 03 generation, although he has not won the championship, his physical condition is not much worse than James. Of course, the technology is also very comprehensive, so the Celtics can't prevent it, and there is no way to do it, because Sallinger has tried his best to keep up with Guan Yu.
It was Celtic's turn to attack, and after a series of passes, the ball fell into the hands of Thomas again.
Seeing that there was not much time to attack, Shangguan Yu came to cover, although Porzingis wanted to block it, but it was not successful. After the two blocked, Thomas quickly returned the ball. As soon as Porzingis pounced, Shangguan Yu passed the ball to Thomas.
Thomas took two steps down and actually passed the ball back again, and Porzingis followed inside. Shangguan Yu, who ran the vacant position, after receiving the ball, made a simple adjustment, and raised his hand to make a three-point shot.
Porzingis could only turn around to make up for the defense, and this time Shangguan Yu did not lean back, and the person stood very straight. Porzingis couldn't stop it at all, the ball had already been shot, and he still touched Shangguan Yu.
Beep!
At the same time as the whistle blew, the ball went into the net, a beautiful 3+1, and Porzingis was beaten to no temper at all.
When Shangguan Yu was punished, the boos at the scene were even louder, but if this noise couldn't be carried out, then what kind of alliance was there, so Shangguan Yu hit the penalty steadily.
Perhaps in order to get back on the court, Porzingis pulled directly to the outside and got a good shot to make a quick three-point shot under Sallinger's defense. The height gap is too big, and Sallinger has no good way to do it, so he can only interfere slightly.
Syllable!
The ball jumped out of the basket, Shangguan Yu got into a good position, and suddenly felt a huge force coming from behind him. Anthony pressed Shangguan Yu and put the ball into the basket, and Shangguan Yu also had no way to do anything about this ball.
Because whether it is body or strength, Shangguan Yu and Anthony are not at the same level.
Before you know it, the first half has entered the last minute or so, but the game is even more white-hot.
Shangguan Yu failed to run out of the open position this time, but Thomas used his speed to eat Galloway raw, although he didn't score a layup, but the rebound was protected by Sallinger. Go to Bradley, who hits a mid-range jumper.
The pace of offense and defense on both sides accelerated, Avlalo's three-point shot failed, and Shangguan Yu finally grabbed the rebound.
Thomas sprinted quickly and took advantage of the Knicks' defensive position to catch them off guard, but Crowder's mid-range jumper was missed.
Shangguan Yu followed and kept turning back, Anthony hit an 18-foot dry pull, and the Celtics had one last chance to attack.
Thomas pressed to the last 10 seconds to attack, and after hitting the basket, he passed the ball out, this time Shangguan Yu finally got the ball, but the three points of the whistle shot were popped out of the frame.
This goal is a little regrettable, and the power is a little heavier.
However, at the end of the half, Shangguan Yu had scored 24 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 block and 2 steals, while Porzingis only got 15 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and played more time.
Shangguan Yu had the upper hand, and when he walked back to the players' tunnel, Porzingis looked down. And Shangguan Yu is still very calm, although he has not been in the Spurs, but when he plays, it is almost like facial paralysis. Whether he fights well or badly, there are not many mood swings unless someone provokes him.
In the third quarter, Shangguan Yu and Porzingis had no chance to face each other again. And the fiery feeling seems to have gradually cooled down because he couldn't find an opponent.
However, Turner, Olynyk and Tyler Zeller found their touch and hit back-to-back shots to widen the gap in one fell swoop.
Shangguan Yu only scored 2 points in the third quarter, but in the first half of the fourth quarter, because the Knicks' defensive strategy changed. Shangguan Yu once again found his touch, hit and shot again and again, and constantly brushed up his score.
The most exciting moment of the game appeared in Shangguan Yu's last defense before he left the game.
Porzingis took the ball and singled Olynyk with his back in the low post, and when he was about to shoot a baseline jumper from 10 feet, Shangguan Yu suddenly rushed out and slapped him to shoot it away.
The Knicks fans who booed Shangguan Yu for the whole game finally gave Shangguan Yu a sparse applause at this moment.
Although there is an element of opportunism in this ball, Shangguan Yu has a good grasp of time.
In the end, the Celtics won the game with a bloodless 101-89 victory with their excellent performance in the second half, and Shangguan Yu did not break his scoring record.
However, he only played 26 minutes, made 12 of 16 shots, 5 of 7 three-pointers, and made all 3 free throws, scoring a game-high 32 points, as well as 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 steals.
On the other hand, Porzingis, who shot 7 of 15 and got 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 1 steal, did not blow up Shangguan Yu as he said before the game, but lost badly.
Not only is the individual performance inferior to Shangguan Yu, but even the overall performance of the team is also inferior to the Celtics.
After the game, Shangguan Yu was interviewed by domestic reporter Xu Xuejiao.
Xu Xuejiao asked: "Shangguan Yu, you performed very well in this game, scoring a game-high 32 points, what do you think?"
Shangguan Yu smiled slightly: "Our team has done a better job of rotating and sharing the ball, I got a lot of shots, and I felt great shooting, so I can play such a game, I still have to thank my teammates." โ
Xu Xuejiao then asked: "You and Porzingis are the two best rookies in the East, but you performed much better than him in today's game, which of the two of you do you think is stronger?"
This question is a bit tricky, looking at Xu Xuejiao's smiling eyes, Shangguan Yu felt that he was deceived by her beautiful appearance.
'We weren't players in the same position and they weren't in good shape today as a whole, so it makes sense that we were able to win the game. โ
Xu Xuejiao asked: "Shangguan Yu, I don't know if you will join the Chinese men's basketball team and compete in this year's Olympic Games?"
Shangguan Yu replied: "Although I am not a player from the system, if the country needs it and the palace director sends an invitation, I will still go." โ
