Chapter Twenty-Four: Cast Again!
Wu Rui got rid of it quickly, because this was the most basic off-ball running that he observed and studied under the requirements of Coach Vogel off the field, but Wu Rui's "performance" was actually full of flaws, and the reason that really made him throw off Andrew Nilkson was his explosive legs!
At this time, throwing out of the gap, Wu Rui directly raised his hands and asked for the ball from his teammate DJ Augustine, seeing that he would really choose to shoot like that.
"Look, Michael is asking for the ball!" Wu Rui's actions were seen by the commentators on the sidelines, and Wilson Peto was a little excited: "He shouldn't shoot the basket!" β
"You know, before today, Michael Wu didn't even shoot a single shot, I thought he was a pure rebounder!" Not only Peto, but even Jerry Midi couldn't help but say, "Seriously, I don't even think he can shoot." β
The same doubts are also accompanied by DJ Augustine, he is Wu Rui's teammate, Wu Rui fought side by side with him on the field when he first appeared, so he naturally has a full understanding of Wu Rui's strength, and he clearly knows what Wu Rui's offensive level is!
At this time, seeing Wu Rui take the initiative to ask for the ball, Augustine hesitated, and his feet were paused, and between the hesitations, he also caused his own dead ball!
At this point, Augustin had to pass the ball, but after looking around at his teammate's position, he was helpless.
Although the Wizards are lacking in skills at this time, the enthusiasm of the players on the court is still very high, and there is no sign of giving up, which also makes other Magic players except Wu Rui are stared at by their own defenders.
"Michael!"
In desperation, after glancing at the attack time, Augustine gritted his teeth, shouted Wu Rui, and then passed the ball over!
"Oooh!"
On the sidelines, as soon as I saw the basketball flying straight towards Wu Rui, who was in the vacant seat, some Magic fans in the audience sat up straight, and some even sat forward.
Although most of them regard Wu Rui as the hope of the team's future, except for Wu Rui's several rebounding performances, there is no place to be touted, and they also wish that Wu Rui could show his offensive talent!
"Bang!"
Steadily catching the pass of his teammates, Wu Rui didn't think as much as others thought, and when he felt the touch of basketball, the first feeling in his heart was: This ball is different from the ball in training usually!
Not only that, but it seems to be much heavier than the ball in training!
For a moment, Wu Rui's heart was retreating, he glanced at Biyombo who was against the defender under the basket, and he had already begun to calculate the feasibility of passing.
This time I have the opportunity to shoot, and I may not be able to shoot.
"Michael, pitch!"
At this moment, Biyombo, who was stuck in the position under the basket, suddenly turned around, faced the basket, and continued to shout: "I'll protect the rebound!" β
At the same time, the other players of the Magic team gradually shrank towards the basket, and the meaning was also obvious - shoot casually, there is a board!
Seeing the actions of his teammates, Wu Rui's heart warmed, and then he no longer hesitated.
On the one hand, Andrew Nilkson, who was originally thrown away by Wu Rui, was about to catch up on Wu Rui's face, and as soon as the distance was shortened, he clearly saw that Wu Rui's eyes at this time were so firm!
Hold the ball, raise, bend your arms, shoot!
Wu Rui's entire action was completed in one go, and his shooting posture was very standard!
"There it is!"
Feeling the perfection of the arc of this ball, Wu Rui couldn't help but whisper in Chinese.
βDuangοΌβ
However, with tens of thousands of eyes watching from all over the court, Wu Rui's standard shot this time hit the basket and was slightly off!
"Oh!"
The deviation of this goal also made the Magic fans at home make regretful voices, but the Magic team's offense in this round is not over, Biyombo under the basket pulled a green onion on dry land, took off directly, and grabbed an offensive rebound on Jason Smith's head!
Immediately afterwards, Biyombo turned around and passed the ball to Wu Rui, who was still standing in place: "Michael, do it again!" β
After that, Biyombo is once again in hand-to-hand combat with Jason Smith, and he is in a fierce position under the basket!
"Bismarck Biyombo grabbed the rebound in the front court and actually passed it directly back to Michael Wu!" On the sidelines, TNT commentator Peto was a little puzzled: "Michael's first shot in his career ended in iron, which has a great impact on a rookie player, why would Bismarck still give the ball to him?" β
"Does he think Michael will strike again? It's completely impossible! β
"Yes, especially for a rookie player who isn't good at scoring, missing his first shot means a lot, and it makes him quite cautious with every shot after that......
"Whoosh!"
On the commentary bench, before Jerry Midi finished speaking, Wu Rui on the court shot directly!
Although the first shot did have a great impact on Wu Rui, he even doubted whether he shouldn't shoot again, but when he saw Biyombo under the basket stuck in position again, and there was only a basket in front of him, Wu Rui knew that he had to shoot this ball!
And, you have to enter!
"Huh!"
Immediately afterwards, as if hearing Wu Rui's inner voice, the basketball crossed a perfect arc in the air and went directly into the net!
"Yay!"
Wu Rui hit the shot, and the fans at the scene were more excited than himself, and many people even jumped up from their seats!
"Look, Michael Wu can shoot, he's a good shooter!"
"More than just a pitcher, he's going to be a rising star in Orlando!"
The fans were talking excitedly, Orlando has not had a star who can lead the market for too long, and they feel that Wu Rui, who has explosive physical fitness and can shoot basketballs, is their star of hope!
Of course, such fans are only a minority, as they have not seen a player with such talent in the home team for too long.
Most Orlando fans only applauded Wu Rui's goal, after all, it was the Asian rookie's first time scoring in the NBA.
"Michael!"
Biyombo, who defended in his own half, caught up with Wu Rui: "Cast beautifully!" β
"Hey, Bismarck, don't say anything." finally scored a goal, Wu Rui was in a very good mood, and he talked more: "I thought that this ball was going to be in your hands again!" β
"I had my back to you, so it would have been a mistake to pass the ball!"
Hearing what his little brother said, Biyombo quickly corrected his thoughts, passing the ball in that situation was definitely the most unwise choice.
"Of course you don't pass the ball." But Wu Rui laughed: "I thought I would strike iron again." β
