Chapter 36 Your Uncle Is Your Uncle After All

After the intermission, the Spurs players regained their strength. At the beginning of the second quarter, he scored one after another, and saw the score being pulled apart little by little. The Celtics were the first to make a change, replacing Turner and letting Thomas lead the attack. In the last game, when Thomas was on the field at the same time as Guan Yu, he performed quite well.

The same was true of this one, where Thomas went inside, drew the opponent to the trap and passed the ball to Hunter on the outside. But Mills quickly saved, so he didn't have a chance to shoot, but the ball quickly came to Shangguan Yu.

Brush!

Three-point shot, when Thomas is on the floor, his breakthrough makes the Spurs' defense shrink, so the players who float on the outside have a chance to shoot three-pointers. Although Shangguan Yu's three-point shot is average when someone is defending, his shooting rate is not low when no one is defending.

On the defensive end, Mills singled Thomas, but it didn't work. So the ball was passed out again, and after the Spurs player's pass, it finally formed a West single Johnson.

Seeing that there was not much time, West pushed a few times with his back, and he threw a backward jumper, but at this moment, it was Shangguan Yu who killed again.

Syllable!

West's shot was blocked, and the ball was picked up by Hunter and handed to Thomas for a quick advance and a quick break.

Shangguan Yu took advantage of his fast speed and strong defensive ability to frequently help his teammates defend. So the Spurs' offense was affected a lot, but the Spurs quickly made substitution adjustments and replaced Duncan.

Finally confronted such a master, although he was old, but against the trend of growth, his strength was still very strong, so there was only a duel, which made Shangguan Yu very excited.

As soon as Duncan came on the court, he was in the inside position, and Shangguan Yu was suddenly squeezed out of him and wanted to go around the front to block the passing route. But Ginobili worked with him for years to get the ball firmly into Duncan's hands.

Seeing Duncan lightly, Shangguan Yu was shaken away, and he turned around and hit the basket and hit two points with ease.

Shangguan Yu was a little stunned by the ball, but he was not discouraged, and after handing the ball to Thomas, he quickly settled down. Taking advantage of Johnson's cover, he ran out of space quickly and Thomas made a pass on point. Duncan followed, and he didn't mean to block it, but at the moment when Shangguan Yu made a move, he reached out to cover Shangguan Yu's eyes.

Syllable!

The ball hit the iron without any surprises, Kyle Anderson got the rebound, Ginobili wanted to fight back, but the Celtics quickly retreated and fell into a positional battle again. Duncan covered high but didn't succeed, but Mills passed the ball back to Duncan at the free-throw line.

This time, Shangguan Yu didn't shake, and stood a little behind to prevent him from breaking through, but he shot directly from the middle distance.

Brush!

The ball hollowed into the net, Shangguan Yu felt powerless, and could only sigh, your uncle is your uncle after all, and there is no negotiation about beating you.

However, on the basketball court, there is no such thing as admitting defeat, the older Duncan moves slowly, and Shangguan Yu wants to seize his weakness to fight back. In the next round of attack, Shangguan Yu took the initiative to cover and help Thomas block Mills behind him. In the face of Duncan's defense, Thomas was faster, so he went straight to the basket.

However, West had already made up for it, and in the middle of the two-man bag, Thomas handed the ball to Shangguan Yu, who was following up.

Boom!

The three major steps are a one-handed heavy buckle, and in the face of the menacing Shangguan Yu, Anderson can only avoid its edge.

On the defensive end, Shangguan Yu went around the front defense, using his fast movement speed to block the opponent's pass to Duncan as much as possible. And Duncan didn't mean to ask for the ball, covering on the court, and after getting the ball, he also handed it to his teammates to rush to the organization to attack. His blocking and dismantling with Ginobili was really tacit, so Shangguan Yu still didn't guard Duncan.

However, on the offensive end, Thomas followed Guan Yu's connection, frequently created opportunities for his teammates, and tightly bitten the score. At the same time, Shangguan Yu used his three points to deliver firepower to the team.

But when grabbing a rebound, Duncan shamelessly made a foul, although Shangguan Yu tried his best to defend himself, the referee still did not change the decision. While defending Ginobili, another thug foul sent him to the free throw line.

He had two fouls on his back and played for almost 8 minutes, seeing that the opponent replaced the main team, Coach Stevens also replaced Shangguan Yu, but he made four of five shots, and has already scored 11 points, two assists, a block, and two rebounds.

Although on the defensive end, Duncan and Dio were completely blown up, but on the offensive end, Shangguan Yu performed quite well. Especially when partnering Thomas, both of them played well, and by halftime, Thomas had already handed out six assists and also scored 12 points.

However, the Spurs were better overall, so at halftime, they still led the Celtics by 8 points.

In the second half, Mr. Bobo asked Leonard, the best defensive player, to mark Thomas, and under his strict defense, Thomas's shooting percentage dropped, and there was no way to connect the team's offense. At this time, you can see the benefits of Shangguan Yu partnering with Thomas, he can share the pressure of organizing the offense for Thomas, and the few people who are starting now are waiting for Thomas to feed the ball.

When Thomas can't use the breakthrough to create opportunities, Shangguan Yu will use his open vision and imaginative passing to help his teammates deliver cannonballs.

And now Thomas is fighting alone, if it weren't for everyone's good three-point shooting today and full of defensive toughness, otherwise he would have been taken away by the Spurs in waves. But by the time Shangguan Yu played, the difference had widened to 14 points.

Thomas did not take a break, and after Shangguan Yu appeared, the two quickly formed a connection. Shangguan Yu came over to cover and dismantled it, received a pass from Thomas, and took advantage of the situation to kill the basket. Attracted to the defense of the two, he immediately passed the ball back to Thomas, and raised his hand to throw a three-point throw.

Brush!

The ball hollowed into the net and finally stabilized the situation on the field. But Mills immediately returned the favor and hit a three-pointer in the same position.

After sending out the baseline, Shangguan Yu cooperated with Jerebko, ran out to pick up Thomas, and then passed to Olynyk on the inside, but his shot was missed.

However, at the defensive end, Shangguan Yu cooperated with Thomas, snatched Ginobili's ball, launched a quick counterattack, and played three on one in the frontcourt, and Shangguan Yu assisted Jerebuko to score.

Although the offense improved, Aldridge's mid-range shot made the Celtics desperate. After more than a minute of partnering with Guan Yu, Thomas was replaced for the break. As the most important offensive point of the bench lineup, Turner began to shoot again, and did not play an effective match at all.

Fortunately, everyone's defensive enthusiasm was very high, so the score was not pulled away.

Seeing that there was no way to score on the offensive end, Coach Stevens replaced Thomas less than two minutes after the start of the fourth quarter. Once again, Shangguan Yu was given the opportunity to partner with Thomas, and the two did not disappoint the coach.
