Chapter 167: Anthony on the Runaway
In the first half of the game, he played soy sauce, and in the next three minutes, Anthony actually hit all 4 shots and scored 10 points in a single quarter.
is worthy of being the second strongest small forward in the league, the former holder of the league's single-quarter scoring record, and the feat of scoring 33 points in a single quarter.
However, on December 30, 2015, this record was broken by Klay Thompson with 37 points in a single quarter.
But Anthony, who is at his best, is still the league's big killer.
The almost inexplicable probe, the washing machine spin that rocked LeBron dizzy, and the quick crossover step. Let many defensive experts in the league can't help but give a thumbs up.
Shangguan Yu gave him a capital "suit" for his performance today.
That's probably what a superstar is capable of.
Now Shangguan Yu's defensive ability is average, so he has no chance to face such a superstar, but Claude, who defends him alone, sits on the bench and gasps for breath during the interval, you can know how tired it is to defend Anthony.
Fortunately, after the opening of the second quarter, Anthony rested off the court, and Shangguan Yu had to take the opportunity to chase the score.
Now they are all substitutes on the field, the rhythm is very chaotic, the attack and defense are fast, but the iron is crazy.
After the rhythm of the Celtics was disrupted, Shangguan Yu could only follow Smart all the way.
It can't go on like this, Shangguan Yu motioned to his teammates to suppress the rhythm, but his own shooting was also iron.
Soon more than 3 minutes passed, and he was about to be replaced in a while, and Shangguan Yu played more urgently.
No matter how many it is, it is still necessary to break through!
Shangguan Yu thought so and did so. In this round of Celtic's attack, Shangguan Yu took the initiative to ask for the ball, and after a tentative step, he suddenly accelerated and started to pass Lance Thomas, who was close to the defense, in one step, but he did not give up. Shangguan Yu rushed straight to the basket, O'Quinn came over to make up for the defense, and after the two faced off in the air, Shangguan Yu chose to throw the ball to the basket.
Syllable!
It's covered!
Lance Thomas, who was chasing after him, slapped a big hat and fanned the ball to the rebound.
Shangguan Yu was quick and took the first step to hit the ball, and Jerebko grabbed the ball and assisted Turner to score a layup.
33-33, the Celtics finally equalized, and Shangguan Yu made up for his mistakes.
The first official timeout, Shangguan Yu was really replaced, he was a little depressed, half the game was almost over, and he didn't get a breakthrough layup, it seems that this time the task is a little dangerous.
Fortunately, in the second quarter of the game, in the last 4 minutes, Coach Stevens once again replaced Shangguan Yu on the court.
It's just that the Celtics are now 9 points behind, and Shangguan Yu doesn't dare to mess around, but still wants to catch up with the score.
Now the players on the Celtics are: Thomas, Bradley, Crowder, Shangguan Yu and Sallinger, which can be regarded as the strongest offensive firepower point in these five positions.
But when it comes to shooting stability, what Shangguan Yu wants to say is that everyone here is rubbish!
Thomas and others also understand this, so this round of offense revolves around Shangguan Yu.
Thomas feinted on the left side, the others ran on the right side to cover, and Shangguan Yu came out.
This time, the cover was well coordinated, and when Shangguan Yu received Bradley's pass, there was no one in front of him.
Such a wonderful opportunity, Shangguan Yu will not miss it, jumping to the highest point, the posture of the shot is natural, and he uses the power of his fingers to pull the ball out.
Brush!
The crisp sound of entering the net sounded, the applause of the TD Center Arena was thunderous, cheers continued, and the fans kept shouting Shangguanyu's name, which was the advantage of the home game.
But the Knicks' offense was still ferocious, and in the next round of the Knicks' offense, Avra Roma hit a step-back three-point jumper to color.
Damn the Knicks, this is to keep up with the rhythm of the Guan Yu bar!
Shangguan Yu's ball is coming!
Seeing Shangguan Yu's running position, Thomas and the others knew what to do, and it was the same rhythm. Only this time Porzingis was not blocked by Claude, and Shangguan Yu also did not make a move. The shooting feint deceived Porzingis' center of gravity, and Shangguan Yu suddenly accelerated and killed towards the inside.
Originally, Sallinger was going to cut to the inside line, but when he saw Shangguan Yu killing the inside line, he ran towards the top of the arc.
The current Knicks' interior defense is empty, but Robin Lopez defended as soon as possible, and the two fought in the air, and Shangguan Yu was hit by him and lost his center of gravity. Shangguan Yu was about to fall to the ground, but when the center of gravity was unstable, Shangguan Yu threw the ball to the basket.
Beep!
The whistle blew and the ball stumbled into the net.
“And-one!”
The fans at the scene couldn't sit still at all, and shouted to the rhythm of Shangguan Yu. Robin López shook his head helplessly, he didn't stop the ball, and Shangguan Yu's luck was not bad.
plus penalty hit, Shangguan Yu hit 2+1.
At 44-50, the difference between the two teams was only 6 points.
At the critical moment, it was Anthony who stepped up again, used his personal ability to single Crowder, hit a mid-range jumper again, and at the same time caused Crowder to foul.
Antoniga hits a free throw!
No, Anthony must be restrained and let him cast like this, sooner or later.
In the next round, it will be the same tactics, but with a different taste. In this ball, Crowder was the first to find the open space, and Shangguan Yu was entangled by Porzingis, who received the ball and hit a three-point shot, but the rebound was grabbed by Sallinger.
After getting the ball, he directly attacked twice, and hit the board with a beautiful turn hook!
In fact, Sallinger is really good, he has a hand in grabbing rebounds, and his skills under the basket are also okay. It's just that he is a little short in height, and the timing of his shooting is not well chosen, he has shot 76 three-pointers this season, but the shooting rate is only a pitiful 28%, and he gave those opportunities to Shangguan Yu, maybe the game would have been won a long time ago.
It's not that any opportunity has to be given to one person. It's just the timing of the shot, it's still quite important.
If he is one-on-one under the basket, it must be that Salinjie is better than Shangguan Yu, but if he shoots three points, then Shangguan Yu abuses him casually.
Therefore, the correct shooting selection is beneficial to the team's offense and improves the overall offensive efficiency.
But some people, even if they don't make the right shots, can still score points.
Such players, we call them superstars.
Anthony took the ball high again, but Shangguan Yu came over as soon as he dribbled the ball.
Under the defense of the two, Anthony forced his shot and hit the shot again!
Crowder shook his head helplessly, the blocks of both of them were going to hit him in the face, and blocked many shooting angles, but they still couldn't stop Anthony from scoring points.
In the last minute or so of this quarter, the fight was very intense. Thomas used his ability to score five points on an inside and outside shot, but Derrick Williams received a pass from Afflaro and hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the score was always tight.
The Knicks made a mistake in the final attack, and Shangguan Yu judged the direction of the pass to Afflalo, cut the ball off and handed it to the running Turner, who hit a shot in the last second.
But the Celtics are still trailing by five points, Shangguan Yu is still four breakthrough layups, and there is a rampaging Anthony.
Now in an extremely unfavorable situation, how should Shangguan Yu break the situation? (To be continued.) )
