"20 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, this is Russell Westbrook's report card at halftime, just when the team was facing a situation of falling behind by 20 points, Russell stepped up!"

"He's capable of almost anything, and he's going to compete with the Orlando Magic on his own!"

On the commentary bench, Charles Barkley splattered his mouth: "This is how an MVP-level player copes, Russell carries the whole team on his shoulders!" ”

As Barkley said, although the Thunder are still behind, Westbrook's performance in the second quarter shocked everyone, and he was almost all of the Thunder's offensive end.

"Michael, well done."

In the Amway Arena, the home team's Magic's players' lounge, the team's head coach Frank Vogel nodded to Wu Rui when he summed up the first half: "I need you to continue to be alive in the second half." ”

Vogel's meaning is also very direct, and Wu Rui will be given time to play in the second half, after all, Wu Rui did contribute a lot in the limited playing time in the first half.

For example, as soon as he appeared on the court, he sent two consecutive open dunks, which directly ignited the atmosphere of the court, and many times, two teams with similar strength competed, and the momentum was also part of the game, at this point, the dunk was obviously the most exciting way to score the atmosphere.

And Wu Rui, the best way to score now happens to be a dunk.

"Yes, Coach!"

Wiping his sweat and replying, Wu Rui also knew that his impact was what Coach Vogel valued the most.

"Not just on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, you have to keep working hard." Vogel continued: "I need you to be alive on both ends of the floor. ”

"Michael, let me ask you, is Russell unstoppable in the second quarter?" Seeing that Wu Rui was a little confused, Vogel added: "He scores, organizes, and tears up the defense, it's our nightmare." ”

"Russell, is this unstoppable?"

After that, Vogel looked at Wu Rui with a hint of indescribable meaning in his eyes.

"Coach, as much as I hate to admit it, Russell Westbrook in the second quarter is more of a qualified team leader, an MVP." Wu Rui responded: "He is indeed unstoppable. ”

"No, no, Michael, someone is blocking him." Hearing Wu Rui's answer, Vogel suddenly smiled: "That's you, Michael Wu, you stopped Russell from continuing to go crazy when he was at his strongest." ”

What Vogel said was when Wu Rui scored consecutive individual singles points in the second quarter, the chasing block that came out from the wing!

"If you don't step up at that time, Russell will become even more 'arrogant.'" Vogel pointed to the technical statistics and put away his smile: "Remember what you said in front of the camera, I still need you to fulfill what you promised!" ”

What to say before the game......

Vogel's continuous words made Wu Rui a little unbearable, and a bunch of information was squeezed into his mind in an instant.

"Michael, isn't Coach Frank asking too much of you?"

Seeing that Vogel continued to dictate to the other players, DJ Augustin, who had a good relationship with Wu Rui, approached the young man: "He simply asked you to be the main force of the team!" ”

"Maybe......" Wu Rui patted his head on the door of all the words that Vogel had said in his limited time in his mind: "However, I don't think it's enough." ”

'These are just things that I should have done, not tasks that the coach has attached to me. Wu Rui said, taking a deep breath: "I haven't even been able to do what I should have done, I have to work harder in the second half!" ”

On the side, Augustine was stunned, looking at Wu Rui's appearance didn't look like a joke at all, but his performance in the second quarter was almost the best among the bench players!

Such a performance can't satisfy Wu Rui?

Augustine's back is a little hairy, and in his opinion, Coach Vogel may really be asking Wu Rui according to the conditions of the main players!

Of course, the halftime time passed quickly, and many Magic fans had not had time to receive the popcorn redeemed for their tickets, and the players from both sides had already walked out of the players' tunnel.

Put on his coat and sit on the bench, Wu Rui's eyes looked at the defender who was also wearing the No. 0 jersey on the court, Russell Westbrook!

Wei Shao naturally didn't notice Wu Rui's eyes on the sidelines, because he knew that he himself had gathered countless eyes!

On the other side, Ibaka sent the ball, Payton Jr. advanced with the ball, and the second half of the battle between the Magic and the Thunder officially began.

Vucevic singled Sabonis Jr., experience and skill were suppressed, and the scoring became natural, and the Magic took the lead at the beginning of the second half!

Looking back, the Thunder attacked, I don't know what Billy Donovan said at halftime, the first attack in the opening, Wei Shao directly hung up the fifth gear, stepped forward, passed Payton Jr., and killed in the restricted area!

Vucevic, who was deeply affected by Wei Shao's performance in the second quarter, naturally couldn't let the opponent score wantonly, and hurriedly pounced, opened his arms, and blocked Wei Shao's shooting space, but Wei Shao's first target was obviously not the basket.

Lifting his shoulder and glancing at his teammate's position, Wei pushed the ball forward and sent it to Adams, who was released inside, who faced the empty basket, rose to the ground, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands!

"Steven Adams double-handed dunk, it's an assist from Russell Westbrook!" On the commentary bench, Charles Barkley was overjoyed: "20+8+8, Russell is a stone's throw away from a triple-double!" ”

On the bench, Wu Rui also looked up at the technical statistics on the big screen above, and then continued to pay attention back to the field.

Both teams were on fire at the start of the third quarter, and the Magic scored three points after Fournier and Ibaka's pick-and-roll tactics, and in turn, Wei Shao assisted Andre Robertson on the outside to shoot his first three-pointer of the game!

Barkley on the sidelines is also helping Wei Shao keep count, and this is already his ninth assist!

Then, the Magic made an offensive mistake, Wei Shao caught the basketball that his teammates stole and rushed to the front court, facing the defense, passing behind his back, and the tenth assist came!

"With 20 points and 10 assists, Russell had a double-double less than five minutes into the third quarter!" Charles Barkley simply stood up from the commentary box: "Before the game, I remember someone saying that Russell only had two double-doubles, but now he is only two rebounds away from a triple-double!" ”

"Toot!"

Wei Shao assisted his teammates to break fast, and on the sidelines, Frank Vogel took the initiative to ask for a substitution!
