Chapter Eighty-Five: Hit the No. 2 position again

Shangguan Yu's sentence was very subtle, but it strongly supported the meaning of palace guidance.

The struggle of the upper echelons is beyond the control of Shangguan Yu.

But there is no doubt about the ability of Gong Gui, and he led this young Chinese men's basketball team to successfully win the Asian Cup. In this team, Shangguan Yu saw a lot of things that he hadn't seen for a long time.

For example, passion, every player on the pitch, do their best, every ball is very hard.

For example, hot-blooded, seeing that his little brother Zhao Jiwei was bullied, Yi Jianlian rushed up as soon as possible and pushed Haddadi away.

For example, moved by the captain, Zhou Peng, rushed home to take a look at his dying daughter, and hurried back to the game site to help the Chinese men's basketball team stabilize its position.

This is a team that excites the Chinese people, and the fans are willing to cheer for them with "Singing the Motherland".

A large part of the reason for all this is because of that stubborn old man.

Since the retirement of Yao Ming and Dazhi, the Chinese men's basketball team has not only rarely appeared on the international stage, but even belongs to the status of Asian hegemon. It is precisely because of the return of this old man that the Chinese men's basketball team sees hope.

But since the end of his term, the Basketball Association has not appointed a coach for a long time, but Shangguan Yu's heart still supports this old man.

This sentence insinuated, no matter how others dug up, Shangguan Yu didn't care, at most when dealing with the visa issue, he encountered a lot of difficulties.

Xu Xuejiao was also a little stunned by Shangguan Yu's words, but her years of experience as a reporter made her quickly adjust: "Shangguan Yu, do you want to say something to the fans who support you in China?"

Shangguan Yu said: "Thank you for your continued support, I will work harder!"

At the end of the interview with Shangguan Yu, Xu Xuejiao was full of thoughts, if she extended what Shangguan Yu said just now, she might be able to write big news. But Shangguan Yu will definitely be pushed to the forefront, so Xu Xuejiao, as a protection for a newcomer, just reported this news truthfully.

After two consecutive games in the East, the Celtics returned to Boston to prepare for the game, and before the team practiced, Coach Stevens brought Shangguan Yu to his office.

"You may be seated. ”

Looking at Coach Stevens' look, today's matter should not be too serious, maybe it is still a good thing. Waiting for Shangguan Yu to sit down, Coach Stevens said: "Yu, you have been in the team for almost two months, more often than not, you are in the No. 3 position, or No. 4 position, although you perform well on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, you really don't do very well." ”

Could it be that your hunch is wrong?

Shangguan Yu rushed over and said, "Coach, please rest assured, I will definitely improve my defensive ability." ”

Stevens nodded and shook his head: "I believe in you, but what I'm going to say is not this, I think with your current conditions, maybe you can play better in the No. 2 position, I don't know if you are willing to play the No. 2 position?"

is to let Shangguan Yu score, which is obviously good, but Shangguan Yu wants to exist as an all-round player, and if he just scores points, he doesn't seem to be able to show his strength. Shangguan Yu seems to be able to do all he can do at the moment, so he can only say: "If the team needs it, I will try to play the No. 2 position." ”

Coach Stevens still shook his head: "No, I mean, would you like to play the No. 2 position?"

Shangguan Yu understands his current situation, he only has the ability to score, and he has a slight advantage. So it's the best choice to play the No. 2 position. And looking at the meaning of Coach Stevens, he obviously hopes that Shangguan Yu will play the No. 2 position.

"I do. ”

Coach Stevens nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I will arrange a special strategy for you, you just need to do a good job of attacking." And when you encounter players who don't shoot well defensively, you can better assist the interior defense and solve the problem of weak interior defense. ”

Unexpectedly, there was such a good thing, Shangguan Yu was very happy: "Thank you, coach, if there is nothing else, I will go to train first." ”

Stevens nodded: "Well, you go out first." ”

As soon as Shangguan Yu turned around, he heard Coach Stevens say, "Yu, wait a minute, do you have any other requirements for the team?"

can still make a request, obviously the management of the Celtics attaches great importance to Shangguan Yu. Recently, the Celtics' home tickets have been sold out, and soon part of the reason is the Chinese market brought by Shangguanyu. So now the Celtics have to do something to stabilize Shangguan Yu.

Since this is the case, Shangguan Yu was not polite and said to Coach Stevens: "Can you hire a shooting coach for me?"

Stevens asked, "Your shooting ability is okay now, why do you need a shooting coach?"

Shangguan Yu said: "Coach, you also know that my shooting is very inconsistent, and in the next game, if the opponent focuses on me, I don't know how to shoot." So hopefully I can get a shooting coach who can help me improve even more. ”

"Very good, I understand, you go to train first, and I'll arrange it for you. ”

I don't know what kind of god will be invited, will it be Larry Bird?

Shangguan Yu was looking forward to it, but he returned to the stadium and started training.

If you want to play the No. 2 position in the future, the current technology is not enough to make Shangguan Yu competent, and in the face of a scoring guard who is shorter than his height, Shangguan Yu's ball control skills still need to be improved. As for the skill points rewarded last time, there are still two points that have not been used up, but Shangguan Yu is not in a hurry to add them. Because he thinks that he can add all of it to his strength, and find an opportunity to make a move through the advantage of strength.

But even if you don't add points, Shangguan Yu can still practice dribbling, and the previous practice was not very professional.

And now there is a master-level dribble master Thomas, Shangguan Yu directly approached him.

"Hey, Isaiah, can you teach me how to dribble?"

Thomas asked, "Why do you want to learn to dribble?"

Shangguan Yu didn't tell him that he was going to play the No. 2 position instead, so he just said: "I'm actually pretty good on the dribble, I just want to get a little stronger, and then use the dribble to get rid of the opponent's defense, create opportunities for you, or shoot myself." ”

Thomas smiled: "Yes, yes, but you know!"

Shangguan Yu said: "A delicious meal?"

Thomas just said, "NO, NO, NO, INTRODUCE ME TO YOUR TWO ROOMMATES!"

Shangguan Yu pretended to be embarrassed: "Hehe, I'm sorry, these two people are mine, you can only change other conditions." ”

Thomas looked sad: "My heart hurts, but you really, you got both of them?"

Shangguan Yu said: "Of course, hey, we are people who have championship dreams, we can't be harassed by this kind of mundane thing, do you want a big meal?

Thomas grabbed Shangguan Yu and said, "Don't, I'll teach you, is there anyone in the team who is better than me dribbling?"

Just using a big meal, Shangguan Yu bought Thomas, and he didn't hide his secrets, and taught him very seriously.

Thomas shouted, "Yes, that's it, press down!"

"Quick, faster!"

"Shoulder down, center of gravity, center of gravity, come, do it again!"

Why does it sound so evil?

This kind of training is more tiring than Shangguan Yu's single training in the strength room, but there are unexpected gains.

Bite!

System Prompt: Since you have been training hard recently, the system will reward you with 5 ability points;

There is such a good thing, I knew that I would train harder, but if I worked hard, Shangguan Yu would probably overdraw.

If there is a game on the next day, then the impact will be great, after all, the physical strength is still Shangguan Yu's weakness now.

In the second game of the back-to-back, he didn't dare to train much. Open his own attribute list, Shangguan Yu considered, which one to give the ability value to-

Host: Shangguan Yu (Title: Rookie of the Stadium)

Location: G/F

Ability to drive to layup: 49

Close range shooting ability: 60

Mid to long range shooting ability: 60

Three-point shooting ability (blue skill pack): 52

Singles ability: 29

Ability to dunk: 40

Passing ability: 46

Possession of the ball: 45

Defensive ability: 41

Rebounding ability: 38

Cap capacity: 30

Steal ability: 30

Stamina: 60

Strength: 63

Speed: 48

As soon as he gritted his teeth and was ruthless, Shangguan Yu added all 7 ability points to his strength, and instantly felt that his body strength had become stronger.

70 points of strength, which is also the current limit.

The current Shangguan Yu has raised his three abilities to the current upper limit.

With a strength value of 70 points, he definitely can't have the upper hand in the fight on the inside, but in the opposing scoring guard, Shangguan Yu still has a great advantage.

Although the ability value points cannot be added to the three-point shooting ability, the game and training during this period of time have still improved by two points, and Shangguan Yu is very satisfied.

Because there was a competition at night, Shangguan Yu was not very tired from practicing and maintained his physical strength very well.

The game started at half past seven in the evening, but at five o'clock, Shangguan Yu came to the stadium to warm up.

Before everyone started to warm up, Stevens told all the players the news that Shangguan Yu had changed to the No. 2 position.

The others didn't have any opinions, but Turner and Bradley's faces weren't too good-looking. Because according to Shangguan Yu's current state, they will be divided into a lot of playing time. Fortunately, Coach Stevens told them that Shangguan Yu could play the No. 3 position, or play the No. 4 position again, which made them feel a little better.

There are no new tactical exercises today, so Shangguan Yu doesn't have specific tactics yet.

Although Shangguan Yu's current state is getting better and better, he has not yet got the opportunity to start, and the Celtics' starters are still the same.

Point guard: Isaiah Thomas.

Shooting guard: Avery Bradley.

Small forward: Jay Crowder.

Power forward: Amir Johnson.

Centre-forward: Jared Sallinger.

The Pistons' starters are still the same, although Jennings returned from injury, he can only be a backup for Reggie Jackson.

As a player who has been able to cut 50+ in his rookie season, this is indeed a torture for him. But due to injuries, his current state is not as good as before.

The two sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, Sallinger got the basketball, and the game officially began.

However, two minutes into the first quarter, Thomas assisted Sallinger to shoot a shot, and then the Celtics launched an 11-4 spurt to extend the difference to 10 points in the first quarter.

Until the first quarter of the game, with only the last four minutes left, Shangguan Yu played as the No. 2 position, replacing Bradley.
