Chapter 33: The Volleyball-Style Cap

On November 29, the Celtics visited the Orlando Magic.

The last time against the Magic team, Shangguan Yu performed very poorly, and this time he didn't get much change. It may be that he is playing away from home, and his form is not adjusted.

Shangguan Yu made one of three three-pointers, scored 3 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and other statistics were also recorded.

But this kind of performance obviously can't help the team win. And the Orlando Magic, led by substitute player Oladipo, launched wave after wave of fierce offensives. At the end of the third quarter, a 20-point lead was already established, so the final quarter won the game steadily.

In the first game of the five-game streak, there was a loss, and in the post-game press conference, head coach Brad Stevens' face was not very good-looking.

But in back-to-back away games, you can't be too immersed in sadness, and the head coach made an adjustment, no longer letting Shangguan Yu play as a scoring guard, but letting him play power forward instead.

Because of his physical condition, Shangguan Yu is more of a small forward, or a scoring guard, and now he wants to play a big forward, and he is not very confident. However, for the coach's requirements, he chose absolute obedience.

After leaving Orlando, he went to Miami, as a former championship team or a team in a big city, the Miami Heat fans are obviously not too few.

As soon as Shangguan Yu and others appeared on the stage, they were booed by the fans all over the field.

Once the game started, as long as the Celtic players got the ball, they were booed and disturbed by the home fans. But the Miami Heat players get applause and screams, which is the so-called home-court advantage.

However, the Celtics' players are mainly anti-guest, and under the tandem of Thomas, they have blossomed more.

Shangguan Yu came on the court in the first quarter with 4 minutes and 12 seconds left, and the Celtics had already taken a five-point lead.

Although he is a big forward, on the offensive end, Shangguan Yu is still floating outside. Using the cover of his teammates, he came out of the pocket, received a pass from Turner, and made an open three-point shot.

Brush!

The ball hollowed into the net, and it seemed that this game felt good. But on the defensive end, Shangguan Yu can't float outside, and against Josh McRoberts, who is taller than him, he can only use his flexibility to defend. And McRoberts is obviously not the offensive core of the team, so Shangguan Yu can release it appropriately to come over to make up for the defense.

Dragic took the ball past Turner, and as the Suns' former leader and the most improved player in the '13-'14 season, there is no doubt about his quality. So in the face of Turner, it can be said that it is easy to break through, but Shangguan Yu, who is eyeing him from the sidelines, is looking for the right time to follow.

Syllable!

A volleyball-style hat lifted the ball off the field.

"Ahh

Shangguanyu, who succeeded in the cap, also let out an excited roar, although as a Chinese, he still retains the humility he deserves. But on the basketball court, humility is not a good thing, and such a roar will suppress the opponent in momentum, and will make him afraid of Shangguan Yu's defense the next time he bursts under the basket.

Although the single defense ability is not strong, Shangguan Yu's defense ability is good.

The Heat served a baseline shot, and Dragic broke through to Gerald Green, but his mid-range shot was missed. Shangguan Yu was in a good position and took the rebound, but it was not easy. Because McRoberts used his height and strength to stand up to Guan Yu and was very uncomfortable, he almost lost the rebound.

Turner got the ball and slid it into the half, but couldn't find much of a chance. Shangguan Yu went over to help cover up, and after dismantling it, he brought Dragic over. Turner was forced to pass back under the defense, and Shangguan Yu, who got the ball, stood outside the three-point line, faced Dragic's defense, and directly pulled up a jumper.

Although Dragic is more than ten centimeters taller than Thomas, Shangguan Yu is also more than ten centimeters taller than him, so this time, Dragic can't stop it at all.

Brush!

Another three-point shot, Shangguan Yu has already cast confidence. Obviously, during this time, the training with Thomas has received a lot of results.

Thomas, who was off the field, also stood up excitedly and cheered for Shangguan Yu.

However, Dragic immediately returned the color and made a sharp breakthrough, shook off Turner, and made a left-handed layup. This time, Shangguan Yu's supplementary defense was not so timely. And Dragic is a left-handed player, so when defending, it's still a bit awkward.

This time in the attack, although Shangguan Yu did not score directly, his benefits as a big forward have already been reflected.

Because he wasn't on the inside, there was plenty of room to attack, and after a steady stream of passes, Turner was given an open shot to score two points on a mid-range jumper.

At the same time, on the defensive end, Shangguan Yu once again showed the advantages of strong defensive ability. Although Turner couldn't stop Dragic, when Dragic hit the basket, Shangguan Yu made up for it in time. Turner, who followed him, made a timely shot to cut the ball away, and with a quick counterattack, the Celtics scored two points again.

The Heat quickly sent out the baseline ball, and Dragic did not continue to break through to the inside, finding opportunities on the outside, assisting Green to hit a three-pointer to bite the score tightly.

This time the defense was on the other side, David Lee didn't follow the defense in time, to be exact, it should be that the speed couldn't keep up, so Green had a chance to shoot in the open space.

The two sides went back and forth in less than two minutes, but soon Turner went it alone again. Broke to the basket and did not choose to divide the ball, and was tightly covered by McRoberts. In the last two minutes of the first quarter, the Celtics did not score, but Shangguan Yu repeatedly appeared in key positions on defense. Trying to keep the box open, while picking up a rebound and a steal.

Seeing that Turner was indeed a little weak when organizing the offense, Coach Brad Stevens used Terry Rozier to play point guard in the second quarter, putting on a three-three-two-small formation.

In this way, the Celtics' offense has become very fluid.

In the first round, Shangguan Yu mentioned the line cover, and after completing the block, he retreated outside the three-point line, and did not get the opportunity to shoot in the open space. But Turner received the ball and burst to the inside with plenty of space for him to choose. This time he passed the ball to Olynyk, but it didn't work out single.

However, Shangguan Yu has already taken advantage of the situation, and McRoberts's speed is obviously not as fast as Shangguan Yu. received a pass from Olynyk, and Shangguan Yu hit the basket directly.

Defended by a Heat player, a beautiful ground-hitting pass threw the ball to an open David Lee.

Half volley hit!
