Rockets backcourt general: I don’t have that much pressure, I just have to perform immediately after coming out.

In the previous NBA regular season, the Houston Rockets, playing at home, defeated the Orlando Magic in a thrilling 117-113 after overtime. After this game, the Rockets, who had won 4 consecutive victories, improved their record to 9 wins and 3 losses, and continued to rank third in the Western Conference; while the Magic, who ended their 3 consecutive winning streak, saw their record drop to 7 wins and 7 losses, and their ranking fell to 11th in the Western Conference. After the game, the Rockets' backup backcourt general Aaron Holiday accepted an interview with reporters. In the interview, he also talked about the reasons why he took over in this game and performed well.

Holiday said: I am not Tari Eason, and my situation is not the same as him, so I don't have the pressure to perform like him. As far as I am concerned, what I have to do after playing is to work hard to show my strength and value, try my best to show my best performance, integrate into my teammates, and help the team in various ways on the court. Because the team is currently performing well and has been in a good momentum, so what I have to do is work hard to integrate and provide all kinds of help that I can provide.

Holiday continued: I just want to find the feeling of the game after playing. I feel that I am not just a scorer or a shooter, but I can also provide more support to the team in other aspects. Whatever the team needs me to do, I will do my best. Whether I'm playing point guard, off the ball, or shooting spot-up shots, I'll strive to do my best. I have been training for this and hope to be able to contribute to the team in these aspects. So when I got the chance to play, it wasn't a difficult thing.

In this victory over the Magic, Holiday made 3 of 4 shots, 2 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws in 15 minutes and 34 seconds of playing time. He scored 10 points and 1 rebound, with a plus-minus of +9. Since the start of this season, Holiday has played a total of 7 times in the first 13 games, averaging 8.3 minutes per game, averaging 4.7 points, 0.6 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.1 steal, and 0.1 blocks per game. He also has 0.7 turnovers and 0.7 fouls. His shooting percentage is 55.6%, 45.5% from three-point range, and 88.9% from free throws. Holiday's playing time has been significantly reduced this season, and he cannot appear stably in the team's rotation. However, in fact, in the limited playing time, he still showed a relatively comprehensive personal ability, and he can also play a key role. Holiday's offensive efficiency can be maintained at a high level, and his shooting ability can also be reflected. Holiday's role is still relatively obvious. I wonder if he can seize this time to prove his strength and steadily appear in the rotation.
