Chapter Twenty-Four: Four Votes and One Hit

Brush!

This time's shooting is perfect, so it is reasonable to be able to shoot, but Shangguan Yu's self-confidence has been greatly improved. But sometimes being too confident is not a good thing.

In the next round, when defending Hollise Thompson, he thought he was tall and long-armed, and if it was reasonable, he didn't have the courage to shoot. Who knew that he suddenly launched a cold arrow, Shangguan Yu couldn't defend himself, and when he pounced, his right hand hit the back of his hand.

Beep!

This time, the shot was obviously off, but Shangguan Yu wanted to block because of a confident attempt, took a foul that should not be given, and sent the opponent to the free throw line. However, his free throws were two shots and one hit, so he was still acceptable.

When it was Celtic's turn to attack, one was to give a corresponding counterattack, and the other was to complete the task faster. After Shangguan Yu got the ball, he couldn't see any good passing opportunities, and raised his hand to signal that he wanted to open alone. The others pulled to the other side, and Shangguan Yu faced Hollis Thompson's defense, only dribbling two steps, and then stepping on the rhythm to pull up.

Syllable!

The three-point shot was missed, and this time the power was a bit big, so the ball bounced far away, and Shangguan Yu noticed that the shot was missed, so he rushed out as soon as possible. However, Jerami Grant took the lead and took the rebound. But Shangguan Yu did not defend immediately, but stretched out his hands, stuck to his side, and kept shaking, so that he had no way to make the first move.

Although he didn't steal the ball, it made the 76ers' counterattack unable to succeed. On the basketball court, although the situation of playing more and playing less is not as threatening as the football field, in the NBA, there is no difference between playing more and less rapid counterattacks and sending points.

Therefore, being able to interrupt a counterattack and give yourself a chance to retreat to defend is also a small way to make up for the mistake of the hasty shot just now. Although the offensive end is not smooth, Guan Yu is still relatively stable on the defensive end, and he is still familiar with Jerami Grant's offensive style.

When he was fighting with Jonas Jerebuko behind him, and when he turned around to shoot, he suddenly killed a white figure and jumped up to reward him. This hat is tightly covered, so Shangguan Yu took the ball down, and after handing it to Evan Turner, he was a dragon to the basket.

Taking advantage of the opponent's untimely retreat, he scored two more points on three steps to the basket, helping the Celtics play a wave of 7-0 small climax, and overtook the score. However, being able to play such an attacking wave is more based on defense, which is the style of the Celtics team.

The 76ers' coach didn't call a timeout, but their players finally found a way to score, and Phil Plessy took advantage of the cover and hit a mid-range jumper.

But Shangguan Yu took advantage of the opponent's defensive gap and added two more points to the sneak attack under the basket.

In the last 40 seconds of the first quarter, the two sides played back and forth, first the 76ers' Hollis Thompson hit a two-point jumper from mid-range using cover, although Shangguan Yu made up for it, but it was too late.

Evan Turner had 3.5 seconds left in the final attack, causing a foul on the opponent's beater and scoring two free throws to help the Celtics take a three-point lead at 27-24 at the end of the first quarter.

As soon as the second quarter began, the 76ers took the lead, and it was Hollis Thompson who took advantage of the cover of the big center to come out and shoot three points after receiving the ball. The same tactics were implemented, but it was Shangguan Yu who shot, but the ball was a little off, the ball smashed on the basket, and it popped up again.

The scramble under the basket was fierce, and Tyler Zeller grabbed the opportunity, but unfortunately missed the rebound. However, the ball that bounced out again was another scramble, and finally even Shangguan Yu joined, three white Celtics, surrounded by two 76ers players, after four or five consecutive point grabs, Shangguan Yu finally controlled the ball with the help of Kelly Olynyk.

Evan Turner, who was about to throw the ball to the perimeter, slammed it back and made a well-timed pass to put the ball back into the hands of Kelly Olynyk. However, there are a lot of players under the basket, and although the pass is good this time, the 76ers players are the ones who basket Kelly Olynyk with the ball.

Giving him two free throws, Kelly Olynyk made sure the ball in.

It was the 76ers' turn to attack, and after Hollis Thompson tasted the sweetness, he shot from the outside again, but this time Shangguan Yu defended more tightly, although he didn't cover the ball, but his shot was off.

Evan Turner grabbed the backcourt rebound and launched a quick counterattack, and the moment Shangguan Yu fell into position, the ball fell into his hands, which was a good vacancy, so there was no hesitation. This time, Shangguan Yu deliberately adjusted, although the direction was not deviated, but after the strength was not controlled, he slipped out of the basket again.

Fortunately, it was Kelly Olynyk who once again grabbed the rebound in the front court and caused the opponent to foul. Shangguan Yu, who walked over to high-five him, was a little annoyed, and made several three-point shots, and the shooting felt good, but he didn't hit.

He made one of four three-point shots, which was about the same level as his own college. Such a reality also made Shangguan Yu understand that he was not much better than in college, and although he had been training hard, it was impossible for him to become a basketball superstar. Therefore, you need to be more intelligent and calm when playing, and you can't be so blind and decisive.

Kelly Olynyk missed the first free throw, but barely managed to make the second.

Hollis Thompson, who missed a three-pointer once, clearly didn't learn his lesson and wanted to do it again. However, Shangguan Yu clung to the defense, opened his hands, and blocked all his shooting space. But he had to force his shot, so he didn't hit the three-point shot.

If you want to fight all the physical conditions, Shangguan Yu may not be able to fight, but shooting defense, Shangguan Yu still does a good job.

It was Evan Turner who won the rebound and quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and Shangguan Yu did not ambush outside the three-point line this time. Follow him to the basket and play three to two in the frontcourt. Shangguan Yu split the ball to follow up with Tyler Zeller, and he made a powerful slam dunk to end the attack.

The 76ers' offense was disorganized, and Hollis Thompson's sloppy shot just now clearly displeased his teammates. Phil Precy couldn't find a breakthrough, so he passed the ball to Yakar Sampson, and the two passed the ball back and forth, and finally Phil Precy hit a jumper from the free throw line.

However, in the next few rounds, neither side played any good cooperation, and the other players of the Celtics felt too bad, wasting several second passes between Shangguan Yu and Evan Turner. So in the second quarter, the first official timeout, the 76ers were stunned to chase the score to 36-34.
