Chapter 23: Rookie on the Pitch
(PS: Thank you for the reward, Quartet and Five Milk, and Wendao Sanjing Deity, ask for recommended votes and collections, and stabilize the two more lists next week!) )
"Thank you, I hope our cooperation will be a pleasure!"
After passing the physical examination and completing all the contract formalities, at a press conference on November 24, US time, Shangguan Yu received the No. 14 Celtics jersey with his name printed on the No. 14 given to him by Danny Angie. When he announced that he became a member of the Boston Celtics, it also announced the beginning of Shangguan Yu's new journey.
However, when such news came, what brought Shangguan Yu was not a blessing, but more criticism of him.
[Commenter 1]: The guy who sees the money is probably also a good and low-eyed guy, and he is famous in the Rockets, and he doesn't renew his contract, and he forgets that he is a rookie who has lost the draft.
[Commenter 2]: Don't say anything, from now on pink to black!
[Commenter 3]: What's so bad about Team Rocket? Do you have to go, just for the extra million?
[Commenter 4]: It's really a shame on my Chinese face, an ungrateful guy
After that lore battle, Shangguan Yu's details have been turned over by domestic reporters. At this time, he took the opportunity to make a big report, desperately trying to make a big news.
[Why did the unsuccessful rookie defect from the rocket? ] 】
[Efficient substitute joins Celtic, what kind of rhetoric is the old club Rocket]
[Ingratitude or is there another reason?] 】
All kinds of reports and comments appeared, and Shangguan Yu was under the pressure of public opinion from all walks of life, and he felt physically and mentally exhausted for this. But he knows that this should not be his focus, but all his energy is put into the game and training.
On November 25th, Shangguan Yu ushered in the first joint training with the Celtics, and his teammates were not bad, so the training was very pleasant, although he was not 100% integrated into the tactical system of Celtic, but he could understand six or seven percent of it. And because it was a back-to-back game and it was at his own doorstep, Shangguan Yu soon ushered in his first game for the Celtics.
And since I got the all-round basketball task system, it has been more than a month now, after so much training and competitions, as well as the skill points obtained, Shangguan Yu's ability value has been improved-
Host: Shangguan Yu (Title: Rookie of the Stadium)
Location: G/F
Ability to drive to layup: 46
Shooting ability from close range: 57
Mid to long range shooting ability: 35
Three-point shooting ability: 42
Singles ability: 24
Ability to dunk: 37
Passing ability: 42
Possession of the ball: 42
Defensive ability: 34
Rebounding ability: 34
Cap capacity: 23
Steal ability: 26
Stamina: 55
Strength: 58
Speed: 45
Shangguan Yu added all the ability points to the three-point shooting ability, so now he has exceeded 40 points, and with the improvement of his ability, he has won the first title, which is the rookie on the court.
On days when there is no ball to play, although there is no professional practice venue, it does not affect Shangguan Yu to complete the daily three-point training. 1,500 three-point shots a day were practiced on the street basketball court, and not only the three-point shooting technique was once again improved, but also the physical fitness was practiced.
After completing 15,000 three-point shooting exercises in 10 days, Guan Yu will definitely have a task in this game, so he is also full of confidence for the Celtics' debut. And facing the Philadelphia 76ers, the weak team in the East, Shangguan Yu could only think of a massacre, but the result was not only that the team could not be slaughtered, but his performance was also like that.
Before becoming the core of the team, Shangguan Yu still had to sit on the bench after the game started, waiting for the opportunity to come on as a substitute. Coach Brad Stevens, apparently not forgetting the content of the contract, replaced Shangguan Yu with less than 3 minutes left in the first quarter.
The Celtics players on the court were point guard Evan Turner, center Kelly Olynyk, and forwards Jonas Jerebuko and Tyler Zeller.
The Philadelphia 76ers, on the other hand, are lined up with three guards, namely Hollis Thompson, Phil Plessy and Yakar Sampson, as well as former Shangguan Yu's college teammate Jeramy Grant, and big center Christian Wood.
Just now, the Philadelphia 76ers shot two points, so the offensive ball is the Celtics, but the score is a little ugly, and the Philadelphia 76ers have temporarily led by four points at 20-16.
At the moment when Shangguan Yu appeared on the stage, he got a task reminder from the system.
Bite!
System prompt: Before the end of this game, hit two three-pointers (mission progress: 0/2);
It doesn't seem to be that difficult, but when it comes to completion, it doesn't seem to be that easy. However, as the first time to represent the Celtics, as a Chinese restrained and humble, Shangguanyu did not rush to the limelight.
Although Turner passed the ball to himself, he ended up giving it to Kelly Olynyk on the inside. However, when he was running, he overlapped with Evan Turner and almost caused a teammate to miss the pass. Fortunately, the two worked together to snatch the ball back again, although Shangguan Yu, who was holding the ball, was not in a hurry to attack, but there was not much time left to attack.
Feint outside the three-point line, take a false step, find a little space, suddenly change direction, after breaking through Hollis Thompson's defense, Shangguan Yu suddenly saw Evan Turner who cut to the basket, and when the ball arrived, he took the lead, and Evan Turner made a backhand layup.
Although it was a little embarrassing at first, this time, the well-timed pass won the applause and cheers of the Boston home fans. The offense drives the enthusiasm of the defense, and the success rate of the defense will drive the efficiency of the offense, so this time the defense, the Celtics did quite well.
The opposing side continued to block and dismantle, but the Celtics' rotation was timely, and everyone followed their defenders closely. However, with little time left, Jerami Grant needed to make an attacking choice, and this time he opted for a back-to-back single.
Although he has been in the league for a year, the technique is still very wrong, so he did not let him use the back singles to shake Nas Jerebuko away, but let Shangguan Yu find the opportunity to wrap the bag.
Syllable!
The ball bounced off the ground and Evan Turner fell to grab the ball, then quickly found an opportunity to hand it over. Nas Jerebuko got the ball and didn't rush to attack, so he fell into a positional battle again.
This time, Shangguan Yu did not hesitate, and after continuous counter-runs, he finally found an opportunity to slip the bottom line, but did not receive the ball, and Hollis Thompson behind him followed closely. However, this is difficult for Shangguan Yu, who used Kelly Olynyk's cover to finally get an open chance at 45 degrees from the three-point line, and Evan Turner did not stick to the ball this time.
The first time he received the ball, he didn't make a shot, and after lifting the ball, he flew off the defensive Hollis Thompson, and then made a quick shot, and the flowing shooting action was completed in one go.
