"The team playing away from home never expected that the Chicago Bulls, who returned to their home court today, would have such a strong desire to win!"

In the Chicago Union Center Arena, on the commentary bench, the commentator looked at the scores of the two teams after the end of the first quarter and sighed a little: "Who would have thought that the Chicago Bulls, who had lost three consecutive games and were criticized, would lead the Orlando Magic by so many points at home!" ”

"In my opinion, it's all a result of the Magic players' lack of concentration." Another commentator also had his own opinion: "In the games where they won back-to-back games, the players had a very serious attitude towards the game. ”

'It's just that I didn't see that at all in today's game, and they were like going back to the way they were at the start of the season when they swallowed a losing streak.

At the beginning of the season, the Orlando Magic was in ruins, and the players were very unstable, which led to their three defeats at the beginning of the season, and then they defeated the Philadelphia 76ers without Ben Simmons and Embiid with a strict time limit, and the next two consecutive wins were won under the premise that the players were motivated and serious and gave it their all.

Based on the homework done before the start of the game, the commentator directly pointed out the biggest flaw of the visiting team at this moment.

The commentator was able to conclude that the head coach of the Magic team on the sidelines, Vogel, had long understood, and at this time, looking at the players who were beaten by the opponent in the first quarter and couldn't find their form, Vogel was also very angry: "Look at the report card you handed me in the first quarter." ”

"Five turnovers and six fouls in a single quarter, allowing the opponent to shoot 60 percent from the field, did you rely on this performance to win three straight games?" Vogel pointed to the technical statistics in his hand, and suddenly asked Wu Rui on the side: "Michael, tell me, is this how they got three consecutive wins!" ”

"Forehead ......"

Vogel, who was furious, suddenly asked, Wu Rui was stunned, he didn't know what to say, the team was actually led by the opponent by 13 points in the first quarter, which was unprecedented in the previous three games!

"Sergi, where is your frame?" Wu Rui was stunned there, Vogel would not rest, he said, and looked at Wu Rui again: "Michael, tell me, do you see any outstanding performance of Sergi Ibaka under the basket?" ”

"Nope!"

Before Wu Rui could answer, Vogel turned his head directly and said categorically in front of Ibaka.

Then, Vogel used almost exactly the same way to count all the players who had played, and every time, he asked Wu Rui on the side, which also made Wu Rui a little confused.

What is the coach doing?

After reprimanding the players, Vogel didn't waste any more time, and while there was still a little time to break the break, he made some adjustments to the lineup and made a few more highlights on the tactics that the Bulls might focus on.

"What I want to see is the magic cheered on by the fans who won in Orlando, not the hairy kid who got lost in Chicago."

Seeing that the players were about to come on, Vogel said one last word.

Immediately after, a whistle blew, and the second quarter of the game between the two teams officially began.

On the Magic side, Vogel only left Sergi Ibaka and Fournier on the court, and the remaining three positions were replaced by substitutes, and of course, Wu Rui was still sitting off the court.

On the Bulls' side, Hojborg's personnel changes were somewhat similar to Vogel's, except for retaining the backcourt of Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade, the remaining three positions were all replaced by rotation players, and even Jimmy Butler was left to rest off the court.

"Coach, why did you ask me every time just now?"

On the court, the game continued, off the field, Wu Rui, who was full of confusion in his mind, found head coach Vogel for the first time and threw out his doubts.

"Michael, you don't understand?" Seeing the players on the court get two points when they returned to the court, Vogel felt at ease and replied by the way: "This is this game, what I originally planned to give you." ”

'When a player stays on the pitch, it's about being ready to play. Vogel said as he pointed to Rajon Rondo, who was mobilizing his teammates to run on the field: "What do you think Rajon Rondo did the best thing about this game?" ”

What was the best thing Rondo did in this game?

Wu Rui just wanted to answer that he was ready to play at all times, but he was diverted by a question that Coach Vogel sounded completely unrelated.

"When I say be ready to play, I don't just mean physically, I don't just mean mentally, but of course, you need to be ready at all times." Vogel saw the problem in Wu Rui's mind at a glance: "When you sit on the field, not only do you have to make these preparations, but you also have to carefully observe the backbone of the opponent's team and how the state of this game is." ”

'What are the opponents' key points in this game, what are their main tactical priorities, these are all things that you need to watch off the pitch. Vogel yelled at DJ Wilcox who was leaking on the field, and then said to Wu Rui: "And the most important point, if the coach puts you on the field at this time, what choices will you make for these points?" ”

"But coach, aren't these all the things you told everyone during the timeout?"

After Vogel finished speaking, Wu Rui asked questions, and he mostly understood what the coach said, because many of them were told by Vogel to the players and asked the players what to do at every previous timeout.

"Yes, there's a lot of that, it's something that the manager should be responsible for, but as a member of the rotation of the team, a player who is always ready to play, you have to know exactly what the opponent is going to be on the pitch about."

'That's what a player should do when he's on the bench.

After saying this, Vogel walked directly to the sidelines and loudly scolded the Magic players, although at the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic's offense was still a little better, but on the defensive end, the performance was still unsatisfactory, and the Bulls' offensive commander easily saw the Magic's defensive loopholes, and several accurate passes directly penetrated the Magic's seemingly impregnable defense.

Neither side can guard against the other, which also makes the Magic keep scoring, but the difference has always remained in double digits and has never been indented.

"Jeff, Nikola, get ready to play."

Seeing that the players on the court were a little physically unable to keep up, Vogel walked to the bench and motioned to Jeff Green and Nikola Vucevic to get ready to play.

Magic has to take the initiative to change formations!
