Time flies and the day's training is over.

When you close your eyes and open them, you start a new day. Since it was a home game against the visiting Magic, the training went on as usual. After 1,200 dribbling stop-and-break three-point exercises yesterday, Shangguan Yu's shooting rate is no longer so miserable, at least ten can still be thrown into four.

The template is still in the library, and today's practice has the help of the system, so the progress is not small.

Shangguan Yu was a little impatient, and in tonight's game, he used such a trick to learn. But he seems to have forgotten one thing, that is when the game is played, but there are people who defend, and it is estimated that the shooting rate is not 20%.

Not surprisingly, Shangguan Yu's name appeared on tonight's player list. But he's still a substitute, and as an undrafted rookie, he's quite content to be a substitute.

The game officially started at 8 p.m., and although it was Wednesday, there were still many fans in the Toyota Center.

Shangguan Yu likes this kind of atmosphere, and likes to hear the cheers from the audience when he scores a goal. But what he didn't expect was that in the later period, all he received from Rockets fans was boos.

As a substitute, he obediently sat at the water cooler, cheering on his team while waiting for the opportunity to come.

To be reasonable, the strength of the Magic team is still a little behind the Rockets. But the Rockets are the kind of team that is strong when it is strong and weak when it is weak, he can overturn the first place in the league, and he can also lose the bottom number one by a large score.

So at the end of the first quarter, the Rockets trailed the Magic by one point, thinking that they would have to wait a while before it was their turn to play.

But after the official timeout in the second quarter, McHale let Shangguan Yu replace Brewer on the court, and his performance today was not very good.

However, before going on the field, Shangguan Yu still waited a little, but found that no mission was activated.

He suddenly noticed a very serious problem, that is, he seemed to have lost his goal and did not know what to do. It's not like the last game, when you come up and go for three points, and then after getting the mission reward, you use the breakthrough to score under the basket.

All of a sudden, he seemed to be back to the way he used to be, doing the same things as before.

Defend, block, stance, grab rebounds, give the ball to teammates, run, run, and finally infinite loops.

But he didn't have the idea of taking the initiative, five minutes passed, and Shangguan Yu only scored two rebounds and an assist.

Even the commentary, who was shocked by Shangguan Yu yesterday, originally wanted to brag about it today, but seeing his performance, all that was revealed was hope and the evaluation that could be given, and that was only the word sleepwalking.

Murphy said: "YU, today's performance is the same as yesterday's, he doesn't seem to know what he wants to do, so far, he hasn't even made a shot." ”

Even the commentator could see how McHale, as the head coach, couldn't see it, so he replaced Shangguan Yu, who had been sleepwalking for a long time.

McHale said, "What are you doing? I don't see you're in any form, you need to score, understand? Sit down and calm down!"

Shangguan Yu replied, "Okay, coach!"

The first half ended quickly, and Shangguan Yu didn't have a chance to play, but the others performed well, and at the end of the half, they temporarily led by 9 points at 68-59.

Since he got off the field, Shangguan Yu has been thinking about a question, that is, what should he do on the field?

The coach made it clear to himself that he needed to score on the court, and that he couldn't be like he was in the NCAA, as he was in the NCAA, where he was well-rounded but didn't make any achievements. You need to step up and help the team win.

Shangguan Yu, who was stuck in thinking, did not listen carefully to Coach McHale's tactics.

At the end of the halftime, there was no chance for Shangguanyu to play in the third quarter, and it was not until the fourth quarter, when there were more than 10 minutes left, that it was Shangguanyu's turn to play.

Debuted as the No. 3 position, against Gordon, who was in good shape, the first defense was to be strong under his basket. Although there is an advantage in weight, there is still a lack of strength.

When it was the Rockets' turn to attack, Beverley was looking for an opportunity on the outside but failed, and Shangguan Yu took advantage of Ariza's blocking, ran out of the open space, and came out to catch the ball. In fact, for the first time, there was already a chance, but Shangguan Yu suddenly thought in his heart, without the skill of must-hit, can I score this goal?

He had forgotten how much he had sweated these days. When a player loses confidence, he also loses his crosshairs.

Dribbling to adjust, or choosing to face Gordon's defensive shot, the moment the ball was shot, he knew that the ball would not go in, because of the shooting action, it had been deformed.

But he immediately rushed to the basket, and in the crowd, grabbed this rebound.

Ariza on the periphery was in an empty position, so Shangguan Yu immediately threw the ball to him.

He did not disappoint Shangguan Yu and hit a three-pointer steadily.

This also made Shangguan Yu breathe a sigh of relief, and he could finally make up for the mistake just now.

The Magic's offense, after constantly passing the ball, finally gave Smith a chance to make a shot and hit a mid-range jumper.

The Rockets possessed the ball, Terry dribbled across the halfcourt, handed the ball to Beverley, and he went to the basket. But in the face of the Magic's defense, he didn't find a chance, and Gordon had already gone to help defend, so he threw the ball to Shangguan Yu, who ran out of the empty space.

It was another great opportunity, and just when everyone thought he was going to make a shot, he gave the ball to Ariza, who didn't have a good chance. Although Ariza broke through and caused Dedmon's foul, Beverley still found Shangguan Yu's side and asked, "Why didn't you vote for such a good opportunity just now?"

Shangguan Yu hurriedly said: "It's mine, it's not very good today." ”

It seems that this reason, put on the basketball court, no matter how you say it, can make sense. Beverley could only shake his head and leave, he could be regarded as a small player, slowly climbing up, a rookie like Shangguan Yu, he saw too much.

Ariza hit one of two free throws, but the rebound was grabbed by Capela, and after continuously passing the ball, the opportunity appeared in Shangguan Yu's hands again, this time he did not hesitate and directly pulled up the jump shot.

Syllable!

The piercing sound of striking iron once again pulled Shangguan Yu back to reality, but he knew that this time's shot was just not strong enough, and he should be able to hit next time.

On the defensive end, Shangguan Yu finally blocked Gordon's offense, his shot was missed, the ball smashed on the rebound, and ran in the direction of Shangguan Yu. Shangguan Yu hurriedly stuck his position, but Gordon squeezed from behind, and Smith squeezed over from the side.

Shangguan Yu was stunned and jumped out of the space squeezed by the two of them, and gave the ball to Ariza on the side.

Finally grabbed this rebound!
