It's just that there are very few people who are aware of this.

But after this game, Shangguan Yu is destined to be no longer low-key, and more people will pay attention to his every move. In the interview after the game, Shangguan Yu once again became a sweetheart, and one of the issues they were most concerned about was Shangguan Yu, the Yao Ming-style back dribble, a dragon gliding and splitting the buckle.

The reporter asked: "Shangguan Yu, may I ask, when you were in the game, you made a dragon layup similar to Yao, was it to pay tribute to Yao?"

"Sort of, it's not, I didn't think too much about it in the process of advancing with the ball, and at the moment when I grabbed it on the opponent, I did think about such a shot, but fortunately, the ball was not broken, and I succeeded. ”

The reporter asked again: "The goals of the two of you have been compared by many people, and as Chinese players, people will also compare you, I want to ask, in your heart, which of the two of you is stronger?"

It's a tricky question, but Shangguan Yu said without any hesitation: "In my heart, Yao Ming has always been my role model, I try hard to learn from him, and I hope to reach his height." However, he has left the league and I believe that I can surpass him in the future. ”

Yao Ming's achievements are obvious to all, and he is not a person who can surpass them in a while and a half. But Shangguan Yu is still young and still in the league, and as a potential star, he has a chance to surpass Yao Ming. After all, as a second-year rookie, he's grown into a star in his own right, and the future is promising.

Shangguanyu's strong performance during this period of time has already attracted the attention of the media.

But except for some interviews that cannot be denied by the official, Shangguan Yu did not accept anyone's individual interviews, except for one person, that is, Abby.

She understood that Shangguan Yu had limited time for herself, so this time her interview was very short. More often followed Shangguan Yu, watched him train, and took some shots.

Subsequently, an interview article about Shangguan Yu and hard training appeared in front of the media.

Witnessing Shangguan Yu's outburst during this period of time, people watch the video of his hard training again, and they know that all this is not accidental, it is the result of Shangguan Yu's hard training.

Training hard may not be able to improve your strength quickly, but it will definitely help you improve your strength.

After winning the Pistons, the Celtics had a day to rest, and on this day, Shangguan Yu spent all his time on training.

On November 22, the Celtics traveled to Minnesota to face the young Timberwolves.

After the departure of Wolf King Garnett, it was difficult for the Timberwolves to regain their glory, and they thought that Lefu would be the hope of a resurgence, but in the end they could only trade it out in exchange for chips for reconstruction.

The Timberwolves' talent, especially for young players, is unquestionable.

The core of the current team, Anthony Towns, a rookie at the same level as Shangguan Yu, scored a double-double of 18.3 points and 10.5 rebounds last season.

Now Towns has become the hope of the Timberwolves to rebuild, and the team has officially corrected him.

Last season, Garnett was asked to assist, hoping that he would grow up quickly.

The second core of the team is Andrew Wiggins, the champion in 2014, and his growth is also obvious to all, with scoring increasing year by year, and improving both offensive and defensive ends. Last season, he averaged 23.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, and has become a rising star in the league.

Sitting on two super strong champions, the team also has a talented new slam dunk champion Zach LaVine, who has also begun to grow up after two seasons. and the one who has always had high hopes, the Spanish golden boy Riqui Rubio.

Shabazz Mohammed, Chris Dunn, Bjelica and Nikola Pekovic on the bench are all talented young players.

This young team seems to have unlimited talent, but all along, it has no talent of its own.

But with the rise of the Downs, the team's record began to improve, and it was no longer the team that had the best of the best.

This game is quite interesting.

As the two most eye-catching rookies last year, the showdown between Shangguan Yu and Downs is worth looking forward to.

Everyone knows that Shangguan Yu relied on the team's record and strong performance in the playoffs to snatch the best rookie trophy from Downs.

For this matter, Downs has always been obsessed.

And his performance in the new season is also obvious to all, averaging 25.1 points and 12.3 rebounds per game, which is even stronger than last season. Shangguan Yu is also not bad, averaging 23.3 points, 7.5 assists, 6.8 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals per game, which is more versatile than Downs.

Recently, 6 consecutive games have looked at the data of 20+10, and the momentum is even stronger.

But before the game, Downs did not hesitate in an interview, just like everyone showed his determination: "Shangguan Yu is a good player, but I am stronger, he can win the best rookie, more rely on his teammates." And I'm going to beat them with my team-mates today, and I'm the best player in the world in 2015!"

In the face of Downs's provocation, Shangguan Yu's response was extremely sharp: "Time will tell, our goal is the championship, no one can beat us, we will achieve the final victory." ”

It's too early to talk about who is the best player, and Shangguan Yu's sentence that our goal is the championship is obviously mocking the Timberwolves, a team that aims for the playoffs, what qualifications does it have to challenge itself?

As Shangguan Yu's teammates, Thomas and others stood up to support Shangguan Yu as soon as possible, and the Timberwolves players were also not to be outdone, so before the game started, the war of words between the two sides began, making this game full of gunpowder.

The Celtics' starting lineup is: Thomas, Bradley, Crowder, Shangguan Yu and Horford.

The Timberwolves started with five players: Ricky Rubio, Zach LaVine, Wiggins, Dieng and Anthony Towns.

The duel between Downs and Guan Yu, who had been paying attention before the game, was not staged at the beginning of the game.

Shangguan Yu played the No. 4 position, and Downs played the No. 5 position, and there was rarely a chance for the two to be one-on-one.

But before the game even started, the smell of gunpowder on both sides came up.

For the Timberwolves' players, Shangguan Yu is not worthy of the best rookie trophy at all, and they must go all out to defeat the Celtics and help Towns finish beating Shangguan Yu.

And the Celtics will definitely not let them get their wish, as a team with championship goals, if even a team like the Timberwolves can't get it, what kind of championship can they talk about.

The referee's whistle sounded, the game officially began, and the showdown of the 2015 Best Rookie Contest officially kicked off.

Who will come out on top?
