Horford's joining, in a way, is to steal the ball from Thomas. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As an All-Star center, the number of shots in every game must be guaranteed, and it is impossible to say that one ball, two or three shots, so what's the use of him?

Giving Horford six or seven shots a game is something Thomas has to think about, and it's something the coach arranges. Horford's arrival can improve the team's strength, but in terms of offensive ball possession, Thomas must think it through, and he can't have unlimited firing rights like last season.

Horford's side wants to share a part of the right to shoot, and Thomas is acceptable, but now it's different, Shangguan Yu still has to grab the right to shoot.

If Shangguan Yu wants to increase the number of shots, the team management will support it 100%.

Today's Shangguan Yu, unlike last season, most of his shots are to block and dismantle opportunities, or to shoot again after vacant opportunities. After a season of training, Shangguan Yu's offensive skills are more skilled, more handy, and more capable.

used to shoot in the open space, but now even if there are defensive players, Shangguan Yu can shoot.

As long as it is one-on-one, whether it is a player in the No. 3, No. 4 or No. 5 position who defends himself, Shangguan Yu can play alone. The average third, fourth, or fifth position player is not superior in height and weight, and in the face of Shangguan Yu's shot, there is really not much way to interfere.

If it is more than 210CM tall, Shangguan Yu has enough speed and flexibility, and his footsteps are also very good.

What's more, the average center doesn't dare to pull it out, Shangguan Yu's range can be one or two meters outside the three-point line, can the center retreat to such an area to defend Shangguan Yu?

It's obviously impractical, that is, as long as Shangguan Yu has the ball, then he can attack.

Originally, Horford was going to share a part of the ball, and now Shangguan Yu wants to seize his own ball, so how many chances will he have?

As a player under contract, Thomas definitely wants to put in good numbers, not to mention that he feels good right now and thinks his scoring ability is getting better and better, so he needs to shoot more.

It is precisely because of this that seeing Shangguan Yu start to become the player with the most shots on the team makes Thomas uneasy. As the absolute boss of the team, even if he didn't say it explicitly, but at present, Thomas can be called the boss of this team, and Shangguan Yu does not have such high qualifications.

But let Shangguan Yu develop, then his position as the boss must be unbearable, and he must restrict Shangguan Yu's play. As a point guard, Thomas has the right to choose whether or not to give the ball to Shangguanyu.

Shangguan Yu didn't know anything about this, he didn't know that the change in his playing style would make Thomas think like this.

Thomas doesn't like to talk about problems, it has to do with his personality, he chooses to solve problems in a way that he thinks makes sense. He was stuffy in his heart, Shangguan Yu definitely didn't understand.

The pre-season is over, and the problems that have been exposed, that should also be addressed.

As team management, one of the most important things to do in the seven days of the team's break is to determine the 15-man squad for next season. After the summer league and preseason grinding, the team management knows what kind of players to keep and what kind of players don't.

The capture of Horford, a superfish, in the offseason has made the Celtics' roster a lot more luxurious, and the 15-man roster has been decided.

Point guards: Isaiah Thomas, Smart, Rozier, Dimitrius Jackson;

Shooting guards: Bradley, James Young;

Small forwards: Crowder, Gerald Green, Jaylen Brown;

Power forwards: Shangguan Yu, Jerebko, Tyler Zeller;

Centers: Horford, Amir Johnson, Olynyk;

The rookie only left this year's scout Jaylen Brown, and Jackson, and the rest of the players are super improvised, and some signed players have been temporarily relegated to the Development League.

With Thomas, the strongest 175 player on the surface, plus All-Star center Al Horford, and rising superstar Shangguan Yu, the Celtics' goal this year is to hit the championship.

On October 26th, the new season begins.

The next day, the Celtics ushered in the first game of the new season, away to the Brooklyn Nets.

Facing a team that is at the bottom of the league, the Celtics are bound to get off to a good start this year.

The starting line-ups of both sides have not changed much from the preseason.

Celtics starters: Thomas, Bradley, Crowder, Shangguan Yu and Horford.

Nets starters: Jeremy Lin, Bojan Bogdanovic, Hollis Jefferson, Trevor Booker and Brooke Lopez.

There are no major problems with the Celtics' starting lineup, and if nothing changes are too big, it will be the Celtics' starting lineup this season.

It's just that Shangguan Yu will appear in the No. 4 position in this lineup, in fact, Shangguan Yu's body, whether it is the No. 3 position or the No. 5 position, can be competent.

But what he needs at the moment is to play in the number four position and play brightly.

In this lineup, Shangguan Yu and Thomas will take on most of the team's offensive responsibilities. Shangguan Yu is on the defensive end, and his main task is to help his teammates help defend.

Horford is guarding in the restricted area, and Shangguan Yu is more flexible, not only defending the opponent's No. 4 position on the inside, but also pulling out to defend the opponent's forward player.

It's just that for him, attacking is the best way to show his worth.

The players of both sides stand in the middle circle, the referee throws the ball into the air, and the game officially begins.

Horford flicked the ball to Thomas and the Celtics launched their first attack of the game. Horford has no obvious advantage over Lopez, after all, Lopez is also an All-Star level center, averaging 20+7 per game.

WITH A HEIGHT OF 213CM AND A WEIGHT OF 122 KG, COMPARED TO HORFORD'S HEIGHT OF 208CM AND A WEIGHT OF 111 KG, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT LOPEZ HAS AN ADVANTAGE. Horford can bully Lopez, who is moving slower and slower, with his nimble footwork, but the tactical focus of this game is not him, nor is it on the inside.

The ball passed to him, it was just a transition point, and Horford turned his back to Lopez and did not rush to attack.

Shangguan Yu was on the outside, covering Crowder, the opponent did not change the defense, it was still Trevor Booker who followed Shangguan Yu, but because of this delay, Shangguan Yu fell into position first, and Horford passed the ball to Shangguan Yu.

Take the ball at 40 degrees on the left side, Shangguan Yu feints to shoot, Trewobuk is clicked away, Shangguan Yu takes a step, dodges his block, adjusts it, pulls up his shot, the ball falls into the net, Shangguan Yu opens the scoring for the Celtics.

This ball is executed according to tactics, and there is nothing wrong with Shangguan Yu's shot, but Thomas knows that Shangguan Yu really wants to grab the rhythm of the hand, as long as the ball is in his hands, then as long as the others are not very good opportunities, it will basically not be passed out again.
