Chapter 16 Decent Performance
When it was the Clippers' turn to attack, Crawford dribbled leisurely outside the three-point line, but Shangguan Yu, who was marking the defense, could not let go of his slack. Crawford's dribbling tempo suddenly increased, and after a cross-step dribble, the ball was flicked by his left hand before appearing behind him.
Come on!
Suddenly, he dribbled with a change of hands behind his back, even if Shangguan Yu had already guessed it, but he still couldn't block his sharp breakthrough, and was jumped by one of his jumps, and then jumped up to shoot.
Syllable!
Fortunately, today's Crawford obviously did not feel good, and his shooting hit the iron again, but it made Shangguan Yu almost become the back of today's top five balls.
Capela took the rebound and handed it to Terry to move quickly, but the Clippers weren't slow to get back on the back. So the attack of the rocket team can only fall into positional warfare. Capela's ability to basket is still too weak, even Josh Smith can't chisel, forced to move the ball widely, and was almost cut off by Pierce, Brewer can only point the ball to Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Yu, who used his height to take the ball, did not rush to attack, and the attack time was more than 9 seconds. And Crawford's breakthrough just now also gave him some inspiration. Dribbling a step back, leaving a little distance, Shangguan Yu, who was about to pull out the jump shot, suddenly dribbled the ball to his back.
The same dribble changed hands behind his back, and when he appeared in front of him, Crawford was actually a little stunned, and when he pasted it again, he was squeezed away by Shangguan Yu using his weight and strength.
Shangguan Yu didn't use the jump step, so he continued to dribble to the basket, and in the face of Pierce, who was making up for the defense, he turned around and threw it away, jumping into the air, and was stunned to avoid Smith's block, and threw the ball to the basket with a lever.
After the ball bounced twice in the basket, it rolled into the net, a wonderful breakthrough, and a perfect score.
actually used his signature move to pass himself, Crawford seemed a little in a bad mood, and after consecutive misses, he was replaced by Redick. Shangguan Yu took the opportunity to grab a rebound again.
However, the score between the two sides did not open up because of this, and the Clippers wasted a chance because of Crawford. And Terry of the Rockets did not connect the team's offense, Brewer did not feel good, and Shangguan Yu also performed mediocre except for that shocking breakthrough, so he was quickly replaced.
At halftime, the Rockets trailed the Clippers by two points, 56-58.
After more than four minutes on the court, Shangguan Yu made three of four shots, only scoring two points, one rebound and one assist. Fortunately, the defensive end was not beaten into a colander, otherwise, it is estimated that there would be no chance to play in the second half.
After halftime, the Rockets fought again, and in two minutes and sixteen seconds, they played a wave of 12-0 small climax, which instantly opened the score. However, the Clippers, who had been adjusted after a pause, gradually stabilized their position, and Griffin frequently scored on the inside, keeping the score at about five points.
At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets were 83-76, temporarily leading by seven points, but Shangguan Yu never got the opportunity to play.
However, as soon as the fourth quarter of the game began, McHale replaced Shangguan Yu on the court, he wanted Shangguan Yu to help the team open the score, this time he was not disappointed, but Shangguan Yu did not use the score.
As soon as he appeared on the court, Shangguan Yu gave Prigioni a big hat, and the ball was not out of his control, so he snatched the ball. Seeing a red figure in the front court, the handshake was a ground-hitting pass that ran through the majority of the court, accurately delivered to Brewer's hands, and faced Wesley Johnson, who followed the defense, Tomahawk split to end the attack.
The Clippers served from the baseline, and the offense was very simple, and Josh Smith withdrew to the perimeter, received a pass from Pierce, and missed a three-point shot.
The ball bounced far, and when Wesley Johnson and Brewer were scrambling, a red figure appeared, and it was Shangguan Yu, the No. 14 player of the Rockets, who took the ball first.
handed over to Terry to switch offense, two to one in the frontcourt, Harrell followed up and hit two points, and the difference between the two sides instantly stretched to 10. But in the next attack, Pierce immediately returned to the color, broke through the thug attack that caused Harrell, and made two free throws and two hits.
The Rockets served from the baseline, taking advantage of the unstable position of the Clippers, Terry launched a sneak attack, attracted the defense, broke through to the basket, and passed the ball out again. After Shangguan Yu received the ball, he hit the basket again, the defense of the Clippers all shrank to the basket, and Brewer on the outside appeared in a big gap, and Shangguan Yu threw the ball to Brewer without hesitation.
Receiving the ball and shooting three-pointers, Brewer's did not hesitate, the ball drilled into the net, and the three-point shot!
But Pierce also hit a shot from beyond the three-point line in the next round, and the score was tightly bitten, and the benches on both sides also began to go back and forth. However, just one round later, Shangguan Yu once again used his defense to help the Rockets extend their advantage.
Josh Smith hit Papera with a single on his back, and at the moment when he wanted to get up and go to the basket, Shangguan Yu pounced, although he didn't grab the ball for the first time, but Shangguan Yu stuck to Smith like a mad dog, and he wanted to divide the ball, but Shangguan Yu snatched it away.
Quickly threw the ball out and handed it to Terry to advance, although the counterattack was not played, but with Shangguan Yu's blocking, Brewer got rid of the defense and went to the basket, assisting Capela to easily score two points.
The Rockets, who led by a large score, once again slackened and were chased by the Clippers by 5 points in a row.
However, Shangguan Yu took advantage of an open opportunity to shoot and hit three points again to keep the score above 10 points. However, after the Clippers replaced Griffin, the score continued to approach, and McHale could only replace the main force on the court, and Shangguan Yu's performance in this game ended here.
Overall, in 10 minutes and 05 seconds on the court, Shangguan Yu made two of five shots, scored 5 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, a block and a steal, and his performance can only be said to be decent, not much different from his college days.
This kind of performance obviously can't get into the eyes of the coach, even the fans are quite disappointed.
And Harden, who scored 46 points today, is the biggest contributor to the team's four-game winning streak, which can be described as out of the limelight. But this is not a good thing for Shangguan Yu, because the team boss has performed so well, not only does he not have the opportunity to get on the position, but it is estimated that he will not even get a contract.
The short contract is coming to an end, and after four games, there should be tens of thousands of dollars in the book. However, apart from the expenses of the past few days, Shangguan Yu did not have much left. If you can't get a new contract, it seems a bit difficult to do. However, after a few games, Shangguan Yu is even more convinced that he can gain a firm foothold in this league.
