Chapter 35: Said in the Locker Room (Asking for Recommendation Votes!!) )

"What's going on!"

At the United Center Arena in Chicago, the senior commentator from ESPN was a little surprised: "Rajon Rondo's pass was actually intercepted by the opponent!" ”

"Oh, how is that possible, that's Rajon Rondo!" Another commentator was also very surprised: "He deceived almost everyone in the audience for the ball just now, but it was such a pass, and it was actually recognized by the opponent!" ”

"Michael Wu made the steal almost at the most extreme distance, but I couldn't figure out how he saw through Rajon Rondo's feint."

Indeed, Rondo, as a point guard who is known for his passing organization, can often pass the ball with amazing skills, and the ball just now, breaking through the fake pass Wade, hitting the ground to Butler, the whole process is as perfect as a script, and Rondo's movements are very smooth in one go.

However, it's like pouring ink on the script, and Wu Rui is that ink!

"Huh!"

On the court, Payton Jr., who barely caught Wu Rui's pass, made a slight adjustment, started to make a layup, and easily scored two points, helping the Magic to close the score again!

"Michael, this is yours!"

Looking up at the score above the arena, Ibaka patted Wu Rui on the back: "I didn't expect you to guess correctly!" ”

What Ibaka said is exactly what Wu Rui said in the locker room at halftime: Rajon Rondo has many passes, all of which are among the two goals, and the choice of indefinite items makes it easy to shift the center of gravity of the defense, and Rondo will seize the point where the center of gravity shifts and send the ball over in a timely manner, which will create the most comfortable offensive space for teammates!

It seems that Rondo's set of passing concepts, combined with Wade and Butler, is perfect, but in fact, Wu Rui has been observing off the court for so long and vaguely found a pattern, that is, when one of Butler or Wade starts to score continuously and is in a hot state, then Rondo's passing strategy will have some changes.

He still looks like he's going to be a two-way choice, but in reality, Rondo prefers to get the ball into the hands of the guy who is in the ascendant!

Of course, this choice is definitely the most correct choice for a point guard, but for Wu Rui, it is an opportunity to cut off Rondo in his eyes.

Even if this may be his guess, he is willing to try, and sure enough, Butler's last goal made him a 2+1, and Rondo's pass choice this time will be Butler!

Therefore, Wu Rui used all his strength to chase Butler and completed this just right steal!

Of course, the success of this break is also a certain amount of chance, a good point guard like Rondo will not make the same mistake twice, the Bulls are another offensive organization, his ghost pass is effective, Mirotic outside the three-point line catches the pass, suddenly throws a cold arrow, and enters the net steadily!

At 75:61, the Bulls re-stabilized the situation, and the momentum of the Magic at the beginning of the third quarter was slowly dissipated by them, and the situation became clear again, and the Bulls had an absolute advantage.

On the other hand, on the Magic side, after being stabilized by the Bulls, he was a little anxious, Payton Jr.'s choice of passing several times was problematic, and Wu Rui also tried to shoot a shot, but unfortunately, the basketball jumped out of the frame, but fortunately, Ibaka made up for the ball and helped the team score two points.

Seeing the change in the state of the players on the court, Magic head coach Frank Vogel on the sidelines did not hesitate to decisively apply for substitutions after the dead ball, Wu Rui and Payton Jr. were replaced by Aaron Gordon and CJ Augustin respectively.

"Michael, you're doing a great job."

Wu Rui, who was substituted, said in his ear, Vogel patted the rookie on the back, although Wu Rui still did not make much progress on offense today, but what he said in the locker room was all fulfilled, and he also contributed three rebounds and one steal, and when put together with the playing time, it was a very efficient performance.

"No, coach, I'm not good enough, it's far from helping the team win."

It's just that the head coach's praise will not make Wu Rui feel at ease, he took the towel handed by Biyombo, stood beside Vogel, and wiped his sweat: "My teammates need me to provide more firepower support, not just grab rebounds." ”

"You're right, Michael, and that's exactly what I said before the game, which will teach you more." Hearing Wu Rui's words, Vogel laughed: "In this game, our starting performance was very unsatisfactory, and we need to find more firepower on the bench." ”

'You have to get points when you go on the pitch, that's what a team has to be prepared for when they rotate players. Although the team is behind, Vogel is in a good mood: "In this game, you want to win, you want to help your teammates win, but unfortunately, you don't have the ability. ”

"When do you think you'll be able to help them?"

After saying this, Vogel pointed to the players who had interacted with the Bulls players on the court, but couldn't get close to the score, leaving the problem to Wu Rui.

Although Wu Rui had a very bright performance in this game, it is obvious that when the team is in trouble, Vogel needs Wu Rui to do more, but now Wu Rui is not enough to do so much.

Looking at Jimmy Butler on the court, Dwyane Wade tore apart the Magic's defense again and again with his superior scoring ability, Wu Rui's chest was a little stuffy, the scorer relied on scoring to change the situation of the game, and after he came on the court, the impact on the situation was almost zero, in this case, is there still a need for him to play?

It wasn't just the questions that Vogel left to himself that made Wu Rui fall into deep thought, he had his own ideas.

Of course, what happened off the court had no impact on the direction of the game at all, because the hole was too big in the first half, even at the beginning of the third quarter, the Magic fought back, but they were unable to fill the big hole dug before, coupled with the bombardment of Wade and Butler in the fourth quarter, the Magic was even more powerless.

After being beaten 8-0 by the opponent in the fourth quarter, the Magic completely lost the favor of the goddess of victory, and with more than two minutes left in the fourth quarter, Vogel decisively won the main force and replaced several bench players to play the final garbage time.

In the end, the Chicago Bulls, who had lost three in a row, defeated the Orlando Magic with three consecutive wins at 112:80 on their home court!

Ending his own losing streak ended his opponent's winning streak!

After the game, Wade, who was interviewed, was very calm, he felt that what he said before the game could be taken back and continued, the team was just a problem with the run-in, which only needed time, and there were no other problems at all.

It's just that at the end of the interview, Wade didn't forget to mention another person.
