Chapter 17: Give Me Another Chance to Ball

For the next four days, the Rockets will take turns resting, so there is plenty of time for Morey to have a good talk with Guan Yu. It's just that Shangguan Yu didn't expect that Morey's conversation with himself would come so quickly.

Returning to Houston from Los Angeles, Shangguan Yu didn't have time to rest when Morey found himself.

"Yu, you come with me!"

Walking into Morey's office, he said to Shangguan Yu: "Sit!"

Shangguan Yu sat directly opposite him, and Morey obviously wanted to talk to Shangguan Yu about staying or going, and if he could stay, then there was a contract to negotiate. However, such a shrewd manager will definitely not talk about business directly at first, first asking Shangguan Yu how he feels about the away trip, and then asking his thoughts on the game.

But Shangguan Yu is not a person who likes to beat around the bush, so he found an opportunity to cut directly to the topic.

"Hello Mr. Morey, I know my contract is expiring, I wonder if I can stay with the Rockets?"

Morey nodded, but did not give an affirmative answer, but said to Shangguan Yu: "Your performance is not bad, especially in the away game against the Kings, your performance is quite good, and it proves that you have the ability to stay in the NBA." But you've had a mediocre two games before and after, and overall it's not consistent, but I'm still willing to give you a chance to continue to develop. ”

Shangguan Yu said: "What about the contract?"

I didn't expect Shangguan Yu to be so direct, but Morey was prepared to hand over a contract to Shangguan Yu. Morey saw that Shangguan Yu just flipped through the contract casually, and after a cursory glance, he said to Morey: "There are still two days left before the end of the contract, and I don't have any evaluation of this contract, but I hope you will give me another chance to play." ”

Morey asked, "Why?"

Shangguan Yu didn't answer him directly, but just said to himself: "I don't need you to pay my salary for the next game, but I hope to get more time, I may be able to make you change your mind." ”

Morey seemed to be thinking about something, but looking at Shangguan Yu's sincere eyes, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Shangguan Yu stood up and said to him, "Thank you, Mr. Morey!"

There are still four days left before the next game, and today is the rest time for the players, but Shangguan Yu did not choose to rest. First came the five-kilometer run, then the shooting drill, and the main practice was the three-point shot.

The reason why Shangguan Yu said that to Morey was because the conditions for the next task to trigger the system had already appeared, although it was not clearly stated what Shangguan Yu needed to complete, but it gave a hint that as long as Shangguan Yu's three-point shooting training reached a certain level, then in the next game, a new task would be triggered.

And Shangguan Yu's guarantee to shine in the next game, in addition to his own strength, is the task reward, as long as there is another must-hit skill, the score will be like picking up something. Isn't it easy to get a good piece of data?

Looking at the basic salary contract given by Morey, Shangguan Yu will tell him what regret is, 45W dollars a year, if Shangguan Yu is so cheap, Shangguan Yu wants to let Morey, even if it is 450W dollars a year, he may not be able to sign it.

Of course, what he needs now is not money, but with such a small salary, he wants to trap Shangguan Yu for two years, which is a bit too simple.

But to make Morey regret it, Shangguan Yu must work harder, except for the time when the team practiced together, he basically practiced three-point shooting, and only had seven hours of sleep a day, after three days of practice, Shangguan Yu has become numb to shooting three-pointers. Whether it's shooting on the spot or after dribbling, he has made an unknown number of shots.

The movements are getting more and more standard, but he is still not sure enough, because the last game produced some shadows, once he feels cold, what should he do?

But as one three-point shot after another, one after another threw them in, Shangguan Yu suddenly figured out something.

Why Train?

It's about getting used to putting threes in the basket and getting used to shooting like that. Whether there is someone in front of you or no one, whether it feels good or bad, all you need is to throw the ball again and again, and have the confidence to hit. Just like the great three-point shooter Ray Allen, he dared to shoot the eleventh shot even if he missed the first ten shots of a game.

That's the determination it takes to be a pitcher.

Although Kobe Bryant is known as the league's No. 1 blacksmith, not everyone can do it, because what is needed to strike iron so many times and dare to make a shot is a strong heart.

When you understand why you need to train, then the effect of training will become better and better. Shangguan Yu's three-point shooting rate will also get higher and higher, and it will become more and more stable.

At the end of the four-day break, the Rockets will be at home tonight to take on the Brooklyn Nets. Although there are no weak teams in the NBA, the overall strength of the Nets is obviously much worse than that of the Rockets, whether it is a starter or a substitute, it is not as good as the Rockets.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the Rocket team was not fully crushed, and even if it was not themselves who won in the end.

However, in the first half of the first quarter, it was the Rockets who took the advantage, perhaps because Morey had already ordered, and Shangguan Yu appeared in the first quarter with more than 5 minutes left.

Bite!

System Prompt: Score 5 points within the first 5 minutes of playing time (Mission Progress: 0/5);

It's another scoring task, but it doesn't seem to be too difficult, and there is no designated way, so Shangguan Yu will let go of his hands and feet.

As soon as he came on the court, it was the Rockets' turn to attack, and Beverley dribbled the ball across the half court, and instead of handing it over to Shangguan Yu, who ran out of position, he chose to come by himself. Now he is ten points ahead of his opponent, so it is an old problem, he began to become lax, playing randomly and handling the ball very casually, Beverley hit the basket and threw it down, and was covered by Bogdanovic with a slap.

The ball ended up in Ellington's hands, and he handed it to Larkin, and the Nets quickly passed the ball to Bogdanovic, who didn't hesitate to hit a two-point shot.

It was the Rockets' turn to attack again, Shangguan Yu still didn't get the ball, Beverley handed the ball to Capela inside, the basket single did not hit, and the rebound fell into the hands of Banjani. Although the Nets did not succeed in attacking, Shangguan Yu did not get the ball in the two rounds he played, which made him very unhappy.

But since his teammates don't feed the ball, he grabs it himself. Brewer missed a three-point shot, the ball bounced far and Thomas Robinson used the bounce to grab the ball and pass it to guard Larkin.

Suddenly, a yellow-skinned boy came out of the oblique stab, intercepted the ball first, adjusted one step outside the three-point line, and Shangguan Yu directly pulled out his shot.
