At the end of the quarter, the Celtics will share the ball continuously, find opportunities to burst inside to cause a series of kills, and use free throws to close the score. But it didn't chase the score back much, and the first quarter ended with the Trail Blazers 33-30, three points ahead of the Celtics.

During the break, Shangguan Yu said to Thomas and Smart, "I need your help with something. ”

"What's the matter?"

Shangguan Yu said meaningfully: "When you can defend Damian, just hold his side." ”

"Why?"

"Let me come to the defense close to my side, I want to reward him with a big hot pot!"

"Okay, reward him with a big hot pot!" Smart shouted excitedly, while Thomas was a little thoughtful: "No problem, I'll look for a chance!" ”

The trap against Lillard was designed like this, and although it looked a bit despicable, it was not tireless.

However, at the beginning of the second quarter, Lillard did not appear. Thomas was resting off the court, Shangguan Yu was playing with a group of substitutes, and it was Shangguan Yu's performance time again.

In these 5 minutes, Shangguan Yu delivered 3 points, 2 assists and 1 rebound, and then rested on the sidelines. With 5 minutes and 31 seconds left in the second quarter, Lillard came on, but Shangguan Yu was not on the court.

The Trail Blazers' backcourt double guns are really powerful, and just a short time on the court will eat away at the small advantage that the Celtics have built.

But it didn't take long for Shangguan Yu to appear, this time he was coming for Lillard, but he wouldn't shoot blindly, and if there was no great opportunity, that strategy would probably fail.

Waiting is something that every hunter needs to learn, and this is also something that a cap master must learn.

With the final 3 minutes and 17 seconds left in the quarter, this round was the Trail Blazers' offense. Lillard took the ball at the top of the arc, and seeing his style, he wanted to come by himself, and Shangguan Yu took it back to the inside as soon as possible.

Thomas glanced back and noticed the change in Shangguan Yu's position, deliberately revealing a flaw.

Lillard seized the fleeting opportunity and broke through the middle, but Thomas on his right followed. Lillard was a little quicker and made a three-step layup, but as Thomas caught up, the two battled in the air.

Lillard changed hands in the air and swapped the ball from his right hand to his left, ready to finish off the offense with a beautiful pick-and-roll.

Syllable!

When the ball was about to smash on the rebound and bounce into the basket, Shangguan Yu flew out from the side, stretched his body, stretched out his big hand, pounced like a peng spreading his wings, and slapped his shot and popped it up on the rebound.

“Oh，good-ball！”

“Nice！”

“YU，I-love-you！”

The fans at the scene were completely rejoicing, and this time the cap was quite beautiful and there were no problems. The ball has not even started to fall at its highest point, and it has not touched the rebound or the basket. When Shangguan Yu made a shot, he flew over Lillard's head and was not suspected of any foul.

After the ball fell, it was grabbed by Thomas, and he directly launched a fast attack, Shangguan Yu was too lazy to run, so he waited on this side.

successfully blocked Lillard twice, although there is still one more time to complete the task, but now Shangguan Yu feels more pressure.

Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and now whether it is a single defense or a cooperative defense, Lillard will be quite vigilant.

was stolen twice by Shangguan Yu, and now Lillard is even more angry, but his shooting is crazy, and in the end he can only rush to the inside to make kills.

Shangguan Yu and Thomas still wanted to repeat their old tricks, and there were two minutes left in the quarter. Thomas let Lillard kill in again, and Shangguan Yu jumped on time this time as well. But Lillard lifted the ball halfway through the air and flicked it with his right hand to the unguarded Aminu, who made a mid-range jumper.

If it's really the same routine, you can't play it twice.

In the next round, it was the Celtics' turn to attack, and Shangguan Yu immediately returned the color and completed the block with Thomas outside the three-point line. Using Crowder's cover, Shangguan Yu hit a three-point shot steadily.

58-55, the Celtics once again overtook the score, and Shangguan Yu scored the 6th point in the game. In the first half, he didn't have many chances, more of an assist and followed the defensive end, mainly thinking about how to block Lillard.

In the final minute of the quarter, the Celtics stabilized the situation and temporarily led by six points at 61-55 at halftime.

After halftime, the second half began, although it was the Trail Blazers who scored first. But Thomas and Sallinger suddenly broke out, and the two combined inside and out, constantly expanding their lead. And Lillard seemed to be covered by Shangguan Yu's two blocks, and McCollum was also lost, only Aminu struggled to support it.

With 4 minutes left in this quarter, Shangguan Yu appeared again, and the difference had widened to 20 points.

Very good!

This is the situation that Shangguan Yu wants, and when the score is behind, Lillard will definitely catch up. Now that the score difference is so big, Shangguan Yu has no big problem letting him put one or two balls, and he can come over more actively to help defend. But he didn't seem to be satisfied, and as soon as he got on the field, he said to the others: "Damian, let me defend!" ”

Others have understood how to defend in position, and now the difference is so big.

Everyone has a chance to make a shot, and what they want to do more is to take the opportunity to brush up on their personal scoring data. Because the defensive data is difficult to reflect, only the score is the most real.

As Shangguan Yu expected, after Lillard got the ball, he only had the basket in his eyes.

Seeing that it was Shangguan Yu who was defending in front of him, Lillard's desire to attack was even stronger, just like that, a rookie, he also wanted to defend himself, was he dreaming?

This ball Lillard chose to come hard, and there was no other skill to cooperate, using speed to eat.

Shangguan Yu didn't have anything to do, because his speed couldn't keep up, but he didn't want to give up this ball.

Increasing his body speed with all his might, Shangguan Yu chased closely behind, but Lillard in front suddenly slowed down.

Shangguan Yu wanted to slow down too late, the person hit Lillard's body directly, and when the whistle was about to sound, Lillard threw the ball, Shangguan Yu tried his best to block it, but to no avail.

The ball hit the edge of the small box of the rebound and bounced back into the net.

Shangguan Yu could only watch the ball go into the net and send Lillard to the free throw line, this time the defense, Shangguan Yu was completely blown up by Lillard in terms of skill and IQ. One of the most important reasons is that Shangguan Yutai wants to accomplish one thing, which is to block Lillard.

But sometimes, if you want to do something well, you will make things happen sooner.

Shangguan Yu, who was competing for rebounds in the card position on the side, suddenly thought through this, and he understood what to do next. (To be continued.) )
