PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
In the NBA, a small shortcoming can be infinitely magnified.
After three days of rest, when facing Brooklyn at home, Shangguan Yu was targeted by the opponent.
The one who defended Shangguan Yu was either a muscle stick or an athletic man, constantly sticking to Shangguan Yu and squeezing Shangguan Yu with his body. Shangguan Yu's three-point shooting percentage, which usually looks good, has dropped sharply under the interference of the opponent's close pressing defense.
There is no chance of a mid-range jumper at all, as long as Shangguan Yu dares to take the ball inside the three-point line, they dare to push it out.
Facing such a defense for the first time, Shangguan Yu couldn't provide enough firepower at all, so he could only become invisible again. Put your physical strength into defense.
Because of the all-around basketball task system, Shangguan Yu was given the task of two blocks, so he waited all the time and sent a wonderful block in the first quarter.
But it was not able to provide enough firepower on the offensive end. Maybe it's a three-day vacation that makes everyone lose the form of the game, and everyone else is also in a slump. The threatening ball passed by Shangguan Yu had no way to convert it into a score.
The Celtics have been suppressed by the Nets, and Lopez and Joe Johnson went on a rampage, and the two combined to score 50 points.
Even though Thomas launched a strong comeback in the final quarter, he still lost the game by 3 points.
Shangguan Yu's performance was mediocre, with four of eight shots, 10 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 blocks, and he did not stand up to save the team at critical moments like he did in the last game against the Lakers.
Although he lost the game, the only benefit for Shangguan Yu was to win a little bit of ability again. This game didn't get an increase in ability, so Shangguan Yu didn't find an opportunity to use the buff state to make trouble.
With a day off, on the night of January 4, the Celtics took on the Nets on the road.
Other players finally found the feeling of the game, but the Nets seemed to have found a way to limit Shangguanyu, so Shangguanyu still couldn't provide enough firepower on the offensive end.
But don't forget that Shangguan Yu is a person with a skill package, called Olynyk to come over to cover, and hit consecutive three-pointers in the second half of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter.
The Nets didn't have a good way, and they began to be a little jealous of Shangguan Yu, and Shangguan Yu sent assists to his teammates after containing the main defensive force on the opposite side, and today he didn't live up to Shangguan Yu's passes, and hit shots again and again.
In the end, thanks to the excellent performance of Crowder and Thomas, Celtic saved face and walked away with a victory.
However, Shangguan Yu, as an absolute substitute, only contributed 8 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.
In a sense, this kind of performance has little to do with winning or losing the game.
After all, it is a civilian team, the ceiling is so high, and Shangguan Yu, who could have helped the team win, was gradually locked by the opposing defenders, so the Celtics ushered in four consecutive defeats, and Shangguan Yu's performance was extremely sluggish.
On January 6, in the home game against the Pistons, Shangguan Yu only handed over 6 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds.
On January 7, in the away game against the Bulls, Shangguan Yu got 8 points, 3 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal.
On January 10, against the Grizzlies, Shangguan Yu's performance was even worse, with only a pitiful 4 points.
On January 12, facing the Knicks away, in a high-scoring game, Shangguan Yu only contributed 10 points.
With such a performance, even Coach Stevens, no matter how confident he was, he didn't dare to give Shangguan Yu too much playing time.
Because of the reduction in playing time, he couldn't find the best state for a long time, and Shangguan Yu's performance was mediocre, which is easy to understand.
If this kind of performance happens in the first few games, it is estimated that the fat in hand will fly away.
Shangguan Yu and Jordan finally signed a contract with a three-year $20 million sneaker contract, and Shangguan Yu finally has his own sneakers, but it doesn't seem to bring him good luck, but it is getting worse and worse.
Even if Old Man Qiao regrets it now, he has no chance to regret it, especially George, who has already learned something, and after a while, he will be able to come back to help. It's just that Shangguan Yu's current state is estimated to be helpless.
And the all-around mission system, after handing over the trigger conditions for a task of training 10,000 mid-range jumpers to Shangguan Yu, there has been no response. And the recent game state is not good, and Shangguan Yu's enthusiasm for training is not so high.
After returning to Boston after consecutive away games, Coach Stevens approached Guan Yu again.
"Yu, the state of your game lately, it's not so good, what's going on?"
No matter how he goes in the future, he will be a teacher for one day and a teacher for life, and Coach Stevens can be said to be Shangguan Yu's mentor, so he has nothing to hide: "I can't find the state of the game, especially when facing physical confrontation, I naturally want to dodge." I was afraid that my shot would not be able to hit the confrontation and affect the team's attack, so I chose not to shoot many times, and then I began to gradually get lost. ”
Coach Stevens said: "It's great that you think about the team. But you should understand that our team needs everyone to step up and score, you are the team, the most consistent three-point point. If you don't shoot, then the opponent doesn't need to defend our threes, and the pressure on the others will increase. ”
Coach Stevens went on to say, "Basketball isn't just about physical confrontation, and a lot of players who are not physical can still play a lot in the league. So you don't have to be afraid, as long as you shoot bravely, as long as you stand outside the three-point line, the opponent has to be nervous, you have to change their defensive strategy, then your role has been presented. ”
Shangguan Yu nodded: "Coach, I understand." ”
Stevens patted Shangguan Yu on the shoulder: "You have a long road ahead, although you are at a low point now, you have come out bravely." If you can't get out, you may be like this for the rest of your life. And then there's your growth on the defensive end, I can see it, you have to keep working hard and I want you to be the future of the Celtics. ”
After some very cheering words, Shangguan Yu benefited a lot, and when he returned home, Murong Fei was already waiting on the sofa.
"Don't look downcast, I know you've been doing hard lately, let me analyze it for you with data. As the Celtics' most consistent outside shooter last month, you've averaged less than three three-pointers per game in your last five games. You can still behave like this without losing your most advantageous weapon, thank God. ”
Murong Fei patted Shangguan Yu on the shoulder, and said to him with a smile: "It's not terrible to be in the quagmire now, but we have to come out bravely, I believe you will do it, come, let me use the data to give you some advice." ”
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! 】
