Chapter 33: Welcome to the NBA!

"The Orlando Magic started the second half like a different team, they were very tough!"

At the Chicago Union Center Arena, the commentators are enthusiastic, although this is the home court of the Chicago Bulls, but the commentators still want to see a wonderful game where the two teams are evenly matched.

"That's right, it all started with that offensive rebound in the opening game!" Another commentator also picked up the words of his companion: "Since Michael Wu grabbed that rebound, the Magic have won four consecutive offenses, and the Chicagoans can't stop the opponent's hot hand at all!" ”

"Of course, I'm not saying that Michael's rebound changed all that, but that rebound can be seen as a sign that the Magic are coming back!"

The commentator is right, except for the first attack in the opening game, Fournier's long two-point iron, in the four offensive rounds after Wu Rui grabbed the offensive rebound, he didn't grab even one offensive rebound, because the Magic scored in four consecutive offensive rounds!

Among them, Ibaka also relied on the blocking and dismantling cooperation with Payton Jr. to cut the basket in the air, causing a kill, and it was 2+1!

On the other hand, on the side of the Bulls, who led at halftime, there seems to be something wrong, Rondo is still very capable of controlling the situation, but every time there is an opportunity, the Bulls players feel a little unsatisfactory, whether it is Wade or Butler, the shooting is a little off, and Lopes is even completely blocked by Vucevic!

It can be said that the first five minutes of the third quarter belonged to the Orlando Magic!

"Toot!"

Seeing that his team was slow to find a rhythm, on the sidelines, Bulls head coach Hojberg took the initiative to request a timeout!

Looking at the 69:57 difference on the scoreboard, Hojborg's face was very ugly, although the team was still in the lead, and it was still a double-digit advantage, but before halftime, they held a nineteen-point lead!

From another point of view, until now in the third quarter, the Bulls have been beaten 12:5 by their opponents!

In any case, this is unacceptable to Hojberg.

"Jimmy, what's wrong with you, it's a rookie defending you!"

As soon as the players returned to the bench, the first thing Hojberg reprimanded was Jimmy Butler against Wu Rui, an All-Star who hit two consecutive shots at the start of the third quarter, a stark contrast to the first half.

Of course, Hojberg doesn't think it's because of how good Wu Rui's defense is, but wants to use Wu Rui's rookie status to stimulate the team's attacking arrows.

"Coach, I see what you mean." Jimmy Butler, of course, understood what the head coach meant, and took the towel from his teammates, and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Guys, give me that damn basketball!" ”

Butler's statement naturally made Hojberg's heart feel a lot more relaxed, the team is not the lagging side now, as long as the players play steadily, victory is still in the bag.

Then he said a few more requests to the other starters, and soon the timeout ended, and the game between the two sides continued, and the two sides were still very tacit, and there were no personnel changes.

The Bulls possessed the ball, Rajon Rondo stood on the sideline, responsible for serving, Dwyane Wade came out to catch the ball, and then the Flash made a set of feints at the top of the arc, with the help of Robin Lopez's hanging cover, dribbled to the free throw line, and immediately made the Magic defense contract!

"No one dares to let Dwyane Wade get to the basket easily, never!" Seeing that the Bulls No. 3 easily changed the opponent's defensive formation, the commentator on the sidelines couldn't help but sigh: "Even if the beach in Miami is no longer windy, Dwyane Wade is still a super scorer!" ”

The commentator is right, Wade's ability is still there, but the Bulls' tactics in this round are not for Wade to finish, the Flash is just the initiator, and after successfully forcing the Magic's defensive formation to change, he feigned a breakthrough, but decisively distributed the ball to the right side.

"Smack!"

No. 21 of the Bulls, the team's attacking arrow Jimmy Butler held the ball steadily, looked up at the frame, and looked at the rookie Wu Rui who was defending him in front of him, he understood that now was his offensive round!

"Look, Jimmy is going to take on the rookie on the other side!"

“Oh,My God! That little guy will be educated to the fullest, and there is no way he can guard against Jimmy Butler! ”

At the United Center Arena in Chicago, a large number of fans were excited, of course, they were not excited because Butler beat Wu Rui, but because Butler took the initiative to hold the ball and play alone!

Ever since the team let go of the Windy City Roses in the summer, there have been signs of putting Butler right, and now is the time for the team's new boss to step up!

"Boy, I know you talk a lot of nonsense, so I'll do it quickly!"

Holding the ball, he glanced at Wu Rui in front of him, Butler was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, directly a triple threat, followed by a cross step, pretending to go to the left, but in fact taking the right side, a coherent operation, Wu Rui was wiped out!

That's the strength of an All-Star player with all the firepower!

was really dumped by Butler, Wu Rui's heart was cold, he originally wanted to say something, but found that his language was too weak, the other party didn't talk nonsense to him at all, everything was ball skills!

But is that really the end of it?

Wu Rui doesn't think like this, although he was thrown off, as long as the opponent has not thrown the ball in, this round of offensive and defensive battles is far from over!

Thinking of this, Wu Rui quickly turned around the moment he was overturned, spread his steps, and chased after Butler!

Ahead, Butler didn't seem to see that Wu Rui had quickly chased behind him, suddenly stopped, raised his hands, and was about to shoot.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, Wu Rui had already rushed to the scene, and without saying a word, his legs slammed into force, rushing towards the basketball that was about to be shot, and swept away!

However, Butler's next move made Wu Rui's eyes shrink!

I saw that the bull No. 21's raised hands suddenly retracted, and the moment Wu Rui touched his body, the whole person leaned on him, and then took advantage of the situation to aim the ball at the basket and threw it directly!

"Toot!"

While the basketball was still flying in the air, the referee on the court had already blown the whistle, and then, the basketball said that it accidentally rubbed on the rebound and rolled down to the net!

"Jimmy Butler scored two points and drew a foul on Michael Wu to get a free throw!"

The commentator on the sidelines had nothing to say about Butler's wonderful performance, this is the best way to deal with a recruit like Wu Rui!

"Boy, welcome to the NBA!"
