Chapter 80: The Rampaging Rebounding Monster
After a day's rest, Shangguan Yu once again used the sleep shooting training system to conduct a special training in the evening, that is, the three-point shooting training for running and catching, and the effect looked pretty good.
Because of the reduced shooting training time during the day, Shangguan Yu was not so tired after strength training.
Especially after training, I slept more comfortably, and I felt refreshed and in good shape today.
Today's game is really in Orlando, and it is still against the Magic. However, the Magic don't want to mess up, they are currently 20-22 and still have a chance to catch the last train of the playoffs. And they just experienced a wave of eight consecutive defeats, and they are desperate to end the losing streak with a win at home.
Johnson jumped the ball with Vucevic, Johnson clicked the ball, Sallinger quickly grabbed the basketball, and the game officially began.
As soon as the Magic team came up, they played fiercely, but with the advantage of the team's strength, the Celtics still suppressed the Magic team a little. Shangguan Yu can only wait until the regular substitution time to play, but he is not in a hurry. With four and a half minutes left in the first quarter, Shangguan Yu came on in place of Johnson when Tobias Harris made his second free throw. Harris is one of the important pieces of the puzzle for the Magic, and he was out due to injury before, so the Magic team will have such a long losing streak.
Now he is back from injury and frequently bullying the Celtic forward. Because the Magic team is a three-and-two-small lineup, while the Celtics are three-small and two-big.
Claude, whether in height or weight, can't beat Harris, so he was abused a little badly.
Of course, Shangguan Yu appeared on the stage, and he couldn't make too many improvements in defense. But on the offensive end, it can provide plenty of firepower, and Olynyk is on the inside, and the defense of the two will make the players of the Magic team a little jealous.
Although Shangguan Yu is not a player who does not advocate offense, he still understands that offense is the best defense.
Harris hit the second free throw, Shangguan Yu served at the baseline, Thomas received the ball and said: "Yu, three-point tactics!"
Shangguan Yu nodded: "Understood!"
Running back to his own half, seeing Shangguan Yu's gesture, everyone else understood. Claude was bullied very badly just now, so this time he came over to cover very actively, and Shangguan Yu used his cover to shake off Gordon's defense. Harris let go of Crowder and followed Shangguan Yu, because Shangguan Yu was on the outside and was more threatening than Crowder.
Boom!
Harris slammed directly into Olynyk's body, and this time the cover was solid, and Harris was a little blindfolded. And Vucevic didn't dare to follow, because Thomas went to the basket and had to go back to make up for it. At this time, Shangguan Yu was in a completely empty position, and Thomas passed the ball behind him.
Shangguan Yu received the ball, bent his knees, jumped, adjusted, shot, and the action was done in one go, and the ball went into the net.
21-14, the Celtics finally opened the score, but the Magic quickly responded.
Elfred Payton received an assist from Gordon and dribbled to a layup, which Thomas was a little slow to follow.
But it doesn't matter, because the Celtics' three-point shooting tactics have now played tricks, especially when Shangguan Yu has a good hand.
This time, Crowder couldn't come over to cover, and Bradley was also pestered by Oladipo, but Olynyk covered Shangguan Yu and took the blue ball from Thomas. But Vucevic had already pounced, and Shangguan Yu handed the ball to Olynyk who went down to the basket, and Harris had to turn back to make up for it.
Olynyk handed the ball to the empty Crowder, who hit a three-point shot and roared hard, which was considered to vent the sulking in his heart.
Harris took the ball and singled it to Guan Yu, made a mistake, the racket was on his instep, and the basketball rolled out of the baseline.
Claude threw the ball with confidence just now, so after taking the ball this time, although the opportunity was not very good, even if Shangguan Yu was in an empty position, he did not consider passing. Against Harris's defense, he forced a three-point shot, and the ball bounced out of the frame.
Vucevic thought that this rebound could be easily accepted, but Smart, who had just come off the bench, shattered his dreams. Smart rushed out like a cannonball, and with a savage charge, he took the rebound. Shangguan Yu has already ambushed the bottom corner from a 45-degree angle on the left.
Smart lost his center of gravity under the defense of Vucevic and Gordon, and was about to fall off the field, everyone was watching, how he was going to deal with the ball, but he aimed at Shangguan Yu. The ball was passed a little wide, and after Shangguan Yu jumped up, he grabbed the basketball. Oladipo had already chased after him, and Shangguan Yu made a feint to shake Oladipo up.
Take a step, adjust unhurriedly, shoot three points in the open position, and hit again!
In less than two minutes on the court, Shangguan Yu hit two three-pointers to help the Celtics take a 10-point lead.
The Magic were forced to call a timeout while making substitutions, as did the Celtics, who switched to an all-bench lineup.
Olynyk, Turner, Smart, Jerebuko and Shangguan Yu, while the Magic have a big and four small lineup, Mario Hezonia, Fournier, Jason Smith, Dedmon and Harris.
Knowing that the Celtics were not advancing fast, the Magic team changed to such a lineup and wanted to blow up the Celtics inside. But they are still too naïve, although Smart is not fast, but Turner is not slow. And this lineup, with three good pitchers, doesn't need to hit the inside at all, and they can shoot them to death on the outside.
But it wasn't the three shooters who made the move, it was Smart, the rebounding monster.
Fournier received an assist from Harris and hit a three-pointer, but neither side opened on the offensive end. Shangguan Yu's shot missed, and Turner's shot was also missed.
But in the final minute, Smart suddenly became powerful, first using Shangguan Yu's cover, getting rid of the defense, receiving a pass from Turner, and hitting a three-point shot from 25 feet out.
Harris may have played for a long time, so he was a little tired, and when he turned around, he was a little slack, and Shangguan Yu cut off the ball. There was no good chance for a pass, and Shangguan Yu did not rush to shoot, but handed it to Smart to dribble through the half. Using Olynyk's cover, Shangguan Yu received the ball, but Fournier had already stuck to it.
There was no chance to make a move, and the ball was already dead, Shangguan Yu waited for Smart to come and answer. But seeing Smart wanting to use himself to hang up, Shangguan Yu half-turned around to hold the ball, and when Smart ran over, a pass from the back of his head was suddenly thrown out. At the same time, stand firm on both feet and jam Hezonia who is defending heels.
In the same position, shot again, Smart hit three points!
In the Magic's internal pass, Fournier assisted Diamond for a slam dunk, and there were 20 seconds left in the first quarter of the game.
In the last attack, Smart pressed the time to 10 and tried to use the cover to get out, but it was unsuccessful. The others didn't have much of a chance either, and in the face of Hezonia's defense, Smart took a big step from the three-point line.
Brush!
The ball went into the net in response, and the whistle hit, and this ball is still there!
Smart actually scored three three-pointers in a minute, and the rampaging rebounding monster is really a bit scary!
