Chapter 64: Sudden Eruption
After Thomas went off the court, Shangguan Yu played more freely, because he had become the tactical core of the field, and everyone revolved around him. Under the cover of one chain after another, even George Paul couldn't restrain Shangguan Yu.
At first, it was Shangguan Yu who took the ball to seek cover, and later it became Shangguan Yu who came to cover with Olynyk, although the person who took the initiative to attack changed, but the effect was still good. And Shangguan Yu can be freed up and pull out the Pacers' defenders, and then Shangguan Yu is looking for an opportunity, and if he can't do it, he will hand it over to Turner to end the offense.
Because Shangguan Yu and Olynyk pulled out the interior defense, even if Turner was crazy about iron, Johnson frequently grabbed rebounds in the front court on the inside, and then reorganized the offense.
The Celtics' offense played reasonably, while the Pacers' bench lineup, under the Celtics' iron-blooded defense, made a series of mistakes. The Celtics took the opportunity to play a small surge to widen the margin to more than 10 points.
After Shangguan Yu left the court, the Pacers' players suddenly found their senses and approached the score again.
However, after Thomas came on the court, the Celtics once again steadied their position and firmly controlled the advantage on the court.
Shangguan Yu gradually regained his form and hit a few beautiful shots. Although the Pacers have been trying to overtake the score, they have not found any good opportunities under the Celtics' defense.
In the end, the Celtics won the game without any danger, Shangguan Yu shot 6 of 10, contributed 16 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, as well as 2 blocks and a steal, and finally returned to the state of the best rookie in the East last month.
On January 15, the Celtics sat at home to face the visiting Phoenix Suns.
The Suns team with Nash is one of Shangguan Yu's fondest memories of the NBA.
The original Sun bombardment tactics can be described as the first in the league, and the offensive is like a tide under the leadership of Nash. The gorgeous three-point rain and wonderful dunk are still vivid.
It's just that Nash has grown old, and the Suns, who once fought with the Mavericks and Spurs, are no longer so dazzling.
Although this year's 13th pick in the first round, Devin Booker performed quite well, the team's record was average.
Facing such a team, Shangguan Yu suddenly broke out. Halfway through the first quarter of the game, Shangguan Yu came off the bench, and after more than a week of additional training, he has completed the task trigger conditions. The moment I stepped on the court, the system prompt appeared again.
Bite!
System prompt: Before the end of the game, score 10 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal (mission progress: 0/5);
The all-round task that he hadn't seen for a long time, Shangguan Yu was very excited and very resolute.
Went from the baseline to the line, used Bradley's cover, got rid of Markieff Morris's defense, received Crowder's pass at 60 degrees on the left side, half-turned three-point jumper, and slightly retreated a small drift, the posture was very beautiful, the ball was hollow into the net, Morris's save did not work, 16-12, the Celtics led by four points.
Because of Shangguan Yu's performance, the Celtic game began to be broadcast in China, and Shangguan Yu's goal also made Director Yang Yi shout excitedly: "This goal is beautiful, Shangguan Yu made his first shot, and his condition looks good." ”
Ke Fan said on the side: "That's true, in the last game, he has gradually found his form, if his three-point touch has been so smooth, the Celtics' offense will be very terrifying." ”
Shangguan Yu's condition today is really good, whether it is on the offensive end or on the defensive end.
The Suns attacked, Booker took advantage of Chandler's cover, broke through to the interior, and under Thomas's defense, made a beautiful pull-up jump shot.
Syllable!
This time, Shangguan Yu's defense was very timely, and he arrived as soon as possible to cover Booker's ball. Thomas grabbed the basketball and quickly advanced to his own half, and the Suns' retreating players all shrank to the inside to prevent Thomas from breaking through easily. But Shangguan Yu's follow-up made their retreat ineffective this time.
After receiving Thomas's return pass, Shangguan Yu directly pulled out the jump shot, adjusted it slightly in the air, and dialed the ball out with his fingertips, activating the three-point skill package, and Shangguan Yu had a good rhythm on this ball, and he would definitely be able to score!
Brush!
The ball hollowed into the net, the fans in the garden of the TD Center were boiling, and when Shangguan Yu turned around, he saw Murong Fei standing up and cheering for himself, and he also smiled with gratitude.
Ke Fan, who was in the commentary seat, couldn't help but shout: "Beautiful, it's another three-point shot!"
Yang Yi nodded and said: "This time the defense is very beautiful, from the beginning, he was highly concentrated, and when Booker hit the basket, he had already moved over, so he could intercept at the first time." This time, the three-point shot was even more beautiful, he knew that all the main forces were on Thomas, and he stood directly on the weak side, and hit the three-point shot, Shangguan Yu's ball quotient was very high. ”
Shangguan Yu can't hear such comments and praises, but his wonderful performance starts from now on.
Maybe it's because of the mission, so he behaves energetically and passionately.
Archie Goodwin hoisted the ball to Tyson Chandler on the inside, and just as Chandler dribbled and turned, Shangguan Yu pounced and cut the ball away. This time, the sudden wrapping was a bit inspired by the steal assistant, because the route and pace, as well as the timing of the shot, were somewhat similar to that day.
Cut the ball off, Shangguan Yu held it for the first time, and many times someone would hold the ball for the sake of safety.
But Shangguan Yu suddenly threw the ball out, and many people thought that Shangguan Yu was a bit blind to play the ball this time.
When they saw a player wearing a Celtic jersey, chasing the ball, they had to marvel that Shangguan Yu's pass was very powerful. However, the power was not well controlled, and Bradley struggled to get the ball down.
He's unguarded right now, and he has 108 ways to put the ball in the basket, and he chose the most coquettish one, turning 180 degrees under the basket and dunking.
“Yeah”
The Celtics bench couldn't sit still, stood up and waved the towel vigorously, Olynyk, a joke, was still there to play treasure, which made people laugh.
In less than two minutes on the court, he hit two three-pointers, a block, a steal, and a beautiful assist. Such Shangguan Yu, how could the opponent be afraid?
The Suns can only ask for a timeout, but today's Shangguan Yu feels that the basket is as big as the ocean, and as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely not hesitate to shoot.
The game restarted, and Mirza Teletovic, who was defending by Shangguan Yu, withdrew to cover outside the three-point line as soon as possible, and Shangguan Yu could only follow.
After the blocking, Shangguan Yu defended Goodwin, he was more flexible than Shangguan Yu, and he also knew that Shangguan Yu's single defense ability was average.
Breaking through from the left side of Shangguan Yu and hitting a mid-range jumper, even if Shangguan Yu guessed the right direction, there was no way to stop it.
