Although the ball jumped over everyone's defense, it did not penetrate the Nets, the ball was short, the ball smashed into the front of the basket and bounced, although the rebound was grabbed by Crowder, but his rebound still did not hit.

The Celtics still lost the game in the end, although Shangguan Yu got 30 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds, and completed that task, but did not win the final victory.

Although he can walk out of the stadium with his head held high, he still can't hide the loss in his heart.

Coach Stevens comforted: "Yu, you've done a good job! next time we will definitely win, come on!"

Walking back to the locker room, Shangguan Yu was silent, the three consecutive visitors ended, although Shangguan Yu was crazy again, but he lost the game, and he was very depressed in his heart.

After returning to Boston, he didn't go to the gym to practice, but was about to go home to rest, but was stopped by Coach Stevens: "Yu, do you have time? ”

"Okay. ”

Now that the trade deadline is approaching, Shangguan Yu probably knows Coach Stevens and wants to say something to himself.

Stevens knew Shangguan Yu's character, and he didn't know how to play any routines, so he said straight to the point: "Yu, look at our current team, what are the shortcomings?"

Shangguan Yu asked, "It depends on where we want to go?"

Coach Stevens said, "What do you mean by that?"

Shangguan Yu said: "If we only play to the first or second round, or even the Eastern Conference Finals, our current lineup has the strength to fight, as long as there is not much injury trouble, because we can play too little." But if you want to win the championship, you have to make a change. ”

"Which position to change?"

"Inside. ”

Shangguan Yu pinpointed the problem, and he had nothing to fear, because he had a desperate desire for a championship. It's not that he dislikes his current teammates, it's just that the talent ceiling of each player has already determined what he can do.

A player like Olynyk, he can only play off the bench and make him a starter, maybe it won't improve too much, it's a natural role player.

But some people are destined to become the core, such as Kobe, such as James, such as the future Shangguan Yu.

As much ability as you have, you can do whatever you want, and the current Celtics can only be regarded as a second-rate top team in the league, not a first-class team. Whether it is the strength of the starters or the depth of the bench, it must be a cut of distance from the first-class team.

It's not out of the question of a counterattack, but a stronger teammate will make it easier for the Celtics to get closer to their targets.

"It's true, the starting Jared is too short, and his strength is average, and when he encounters a first-class insider, he is still completely blown up. Kelly and Taylor, who came off the bench, although their height is okay, their movement and defense are not good. It's something we need to work on, but do you have any players that you like?"

Shangguan Yu took a sip of water: "The current strong interior line, the older ones are Andre Drummond of the Pistons and Dwight Howard of the Rockets, the younger ones are Anthony Davis and Anthony Towns, and the Heat's Hassan Whiteside." ”

At this time, Shangguan Yu suddenly smiled slightly: "These are not for sale, even if they are traded, the chips given will be very high, which will affect the current team a lot." ”

"The next two, you might want to think about it. One is Greg Monroe of the Bucks, and the other is Clint Capela. The former didn't have a very happy time with the Bucks, and they have all been reduced to the bench, and maybe they can fool them around. The latter has a certain risk, but I've played against him and it feels good, but it takes a while to develop. ”

Coach Stevens squinted, looked at Shangguan Yu and said, "I suddenly found that if you are not a player, you will still be excellent if you are not a player, you will still be a team manager or a scout." ”

Shangguan Yu smiled slightly, in fact, he had another crazy idea in his heart.

"I'm going to think about what you're talking about, and even if we don't make up for it now, we're going to make a difference in the offseason. We believe you're going to be a superstar and lead the championship again for this city, do you have anything more to ask for?"

Shangguan Yu suddenly showed a strange smile: "Yes, I have a crazy idea. ”

"Oh, what is it?"

"Kevin Du-Ran-Te!"

The expression on Coach Stevens' face changed quickly, and he didn't ease up for a long time, because he was very excited, even crazy, as if he thought of some beautiful picture, and couldn't help but smile.

"Very well, tell me what you think. ”

Shangguan Yu said: "Isaiah and I and Kevin, we can coexist, after he comes, I can play 2 or 4, Isaiah will distribute the ball, we can be Kevin's right and left hand, we can also stand up and take over the game, we don't have any problems on the offensive end." And Kevin's defense, to a certain extent, makes up for my defensive shortcomings. ”

"The reason why he didn't go far with the Thunder was because Russell's desire to attack was stronger than his desire to play, and both of them needed the ball and were not easy to distribute the ball. Of course, I won't comment on the other positions, I don't expect them to win the championship this year. ”

"As long as the Thunder don't win the championship this year, then Kevin or Russell will definitely have to go, or even both. I believe that the team's management can move Kevin, and most importantly, the East is going to win the championship, at least it seems that it will be easier than the West. ”

Coach Stevens nodded: "Yes, I feel more and more that you have the potential to be a manager." ”

Shangguan Yu stood up and turned to leave: "But what I want to do now is to become a super all-round superstar in this alliance!"

Shortly after Shangguan Yu left, Coach Stevens said, "You will!"

Maybe before, Coach Stevens would not be so determined, but now he believes in Shangguan Yu very much. Because this February, his performance was crazy, averaging 21.4 points, 6.4 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game in 27 minutes of playing time, and he has reached the level of the No. 2 and No. 3 positions at the All-Star level.

Although this may be a flash in the pan, it is enough to prove that Shangguan Yu has what it takes to become a superstar.

The current Shangguan Yu, although there are still many flaws and weaknesses, what can be seen on the court is that he is slowly improving little by little, and he is working hard to improve step by step.

Coach Stevens is willing to put his coaching career, and even the future of the Celtics, all on this Chinese young man. He will make Shangguan Yu a real all-round supergiant. But the deal he said may not be possible now. (To be continued.) )
