Chapter 30: Almost two pairs
This is Shangguan Yu's usual routine, because he knows that his physical fitness is not as strong as these black players, so he avoids physical contact as much as possible, and at the same time uses his brain to play. Because many players are used to looking for physical contact, once he can't find a confrontation, it is easy to lose his rhythm.
And at this time, Shangguan Yu can use his height and arm length to give the opponent a big hat. Of course, many times, you may not be able to keep up, or you may be used by the opponent to take advantage of the space you have knocked out and score easily.
But on the basketball court, you must make good use of your strengths, but overcome the enemy's shortcomings.
So this time the defense can be said to be quite successful. Because Celtic's Jerebko has already collected the ball and handed it to Turner to launch a counter-attack. But the Wizards' defense was obviously in place, but Turner didn't care, dribbling a few steps with the ball, it was a step-back jumper, and the ball bounced out of the frame.
Damn it!
There's no way to communicate, but now isn't the time to blame your teammates.
Because the rebound was grabbed by Oubre, the Wizards got a good chance to counterattack, because they were all small men, so they all ran fast, while the Celtics' several big men could only follow back and forth. But to no avail, because Neil made a sneak attack under the basket, and the morale that had just skyrocketed because of a block was beaten back.
This made Coach Brad Stevens on the court so angry that he got up from the bench and shouted, "What are you doing!
Turner had clearly learned his lesson, and this time he didn't rush to make a shot and finally got the ball in. But David Lee, with the ball in the low post, didn't have a good chance. At this time, Shangguan Yu found a good opportunity, and his eyes motioned for Olynyk to come out to cover, although he didn't understand what Shangguan Yu wanted to do, he still ran out and blocked Dudley.
Shangguan Yu went straight inside from the top of the arc and shouted at David Lee, "Give me the ball!"
Seeing that there was no one to defend Shangguan Yu, David Lee hurriedly handed over the ball, and seeing that Shangguan Yu was unguarded, Blair could only follow over to make up for the defense, and Dudley and Oubre in the back had already killed, just when everyone thought that Shangguan Yu was in a desperate situation, the ball was thrown high and turned from one side to the other.
Boom!
Although he is not young, he can't stop David Lee, and once the old man chatted about the boyish madness, he ended the attack with a heavy dunk. It's a high-pitched strategy again, this time the timing of the pass is very good, if it's a little slower, if it's a little lower, it's estimated that it will be intercepted by the opponent.
The DJ couldn't hold back his excitement: "Ohmygod!David-Lee, D-U-N-K!"
The sound of the extra-long scale pushed the atmosphere to a climax, and it was clear that David Lee was enjoying it, waving his hands excitedly. Of course, Shangguan Yu is also very happy, he likes this rhythm and likes to assist his teammates.
“GoodBall!ChineseBOY!”
Shangguan Yu smiled and high-fived David Lee, who was on the back guard, and Blair, who was eager to get back face, was rewarded by David Lee with a big hot pot. The Wizards retreated quickly, and after falling into a positional battle, Turner couldn't choose any chance, so he could only hand the ball to Shangguan Yu and attack from the other side.
On this side, David Lee is sitting on the inside, and passing the ball to the inside line like this, Shangguan Yu can no longer be familiar with it, because in the Yao Mai era, Da Yao was in this position, waiting for his teammates to pass. Shangguan Yu has seen too much of this kind of cooperation, and now he is also handy in using it.
Shangguan Yu is still a lot taller than Maddie at the beginning, and David Lee is about the same height as Shangguan Yu, so he knows how to feed the ball. The basketball held high, the continuous shaking, made Dudley unpredictable. The sudden forward pressure of his left foot made Dudley think that Shangguan Yu was about to break through.
And David Lee, who was entangled inside, finally found a good opportunity, and Shangguan Yu's ground-hitting pass led him up three steps. Oubre behind him was still competing, but he saw David Lee suddenly dribble and activate, and it was too late to chase the defense, so he could only watch him make a layup.
Another assist, Shangguan Yu gave 6 assists in the first half, but the performance in the first half also ended here.
Because the Wizards asked for a timeout and replaced the interior main players Humphries and Gortat at the same time, facing the high forward, it was obvious that the strategy of playing high and high could not be used. And half of the main team of the Wizards came on, and Turner messed up again, so Shangguan Yu was replaced with him, because neither of them could help the team score, but fortunately, the team still led by 6 points.
After all the main players came on the court, the game in the second half of the second quarter was another one-sided situation. But the Wizards had two shots in the backcourt and lost their crosshairs today, so at halftime, the Celtics led by 16 points, 56-40.
After halftime, the other side fought again, the main force of the Celtics was still strong, except for Johnson's poor hand, the other four can be said to be taking what they wanted, so the score did not shrink.
However, after the Wizards replaced the bench, the big and four small bombardment tactics also allowed them to recover some points. But the overall downturn, no matter how much they struggled, they were still pressed and beaten.
Especially after Coach Brad Stevens replaced Shangguan Yu and other substitutes, they were even more difficult.
After the tempering of the first half, now Shangguan Yu cooperates with the inner duo and has a more tacit understanding.
So just after his debut, Shangguan Yu used Olynyk's cover to cut to the basket in the air, and David Lee, who took the ball in the low post, handed the ball to Shangguan Yu. The ball was very comfortable, and Shangguan Yu took the opportunity to kill the basket, but Dudley behind him and Blair on the side had already defended. Just when everyone was about to go to the basket,
Shangguan Yu made a beautiful high throw in the back of the head and passed to Olynyk who followed up, because the ball bypassed Oubre who was chasing the defense, so Olynyk easily hit the board.
The current three have completely blown up the inside line of the Wizards.
"It's the 14th again, Yu, pass it to David Lee, Storm Buckle!"
"Yu broke through with the ball, halfway through the kill, and suddenly passed the ball out, Olynyk, caught the ball and hit a three-point shot!"
"Nice pass, Turner hit a hook under the basket, it's No. 14 again, Woo!"
The on-site commentary roared excitedly again and again, and Shangguan Yu finally scored the tenth assist in garbage time in the fourth quarter. Of course, the main reason is that there are few opportunities to receive the ball later, and the defenders of the Wizards team know that Shangguan Yu doesn't like to attack the frame, so he is guarding him from passing the ball, and Shangguan Yu made two mistakes because of this.
However, he seized the opportunity to hit a three-pointer, and the final data was fixed at 8 points and 10 assists, but unfortunately he almost got the first double-double of his career, but Shangguan Yu was not too persistent, because what should come will come after all.
Although this kind of performance is not eye-catching, it is still shining, so as soon as Shangguan Yu returned to change clothes, he was interviewed by a group of domestic reporters.
