Chapter 66: That's Completely Unnecessary
"Hi Charles, look at Michael's performance, I think you should change your mind about him."
On the commentary bench, Shaquille O'Neal smiled happily: "Look at his reverse run just now, look at his empty pick just now, man, selecting such a guy from the second round is simply Orlando Magic's draft magic!" ”
"Hmm... Perhaps......"
On the other side, Charles Barkley didn't know what to say, he didn't expect the Magic to take Wu Rui to the court at the beginning of the second quarter.
Seeing Wu Rui start the game in the second quarter, he had some bad premonitions, to be honest, if Wu Rui did not perform for a period of time, he would definitely pour cold water on those fans who were optimistic about this Chinese newcomer, however, before Barkley poured cold water, Wu Rui's performance made Fliggy's back cold.
In the last game against the Utah Jazz, Wu Rui used a move to run back to get rid of the defender, and played with his teammates to cooperate in the air, although Wu Rui used his language ability more to get rid of Gordon Hayward in the last game, but at least Hayward did not chase the defense in place after the reaction came back.
This is all thanks to Wu Rui's explosive legs, with these legs, Wu Rui can use a counter-run and empty connection to the fullest, and even an all-star-level small forward can't chase and defend, let alone Jerami Grant, who defends Wu Rui at this time.
"Michael, is this ball high enough!"
On the way back to defense, DJ Augustin, who made the ball for Wu Rui, did not forget to jokingly ask the rookie of the team: "If it is a little higher, I am afraid that only Superman can receive it!" ”
"Oh, man, are you serious?" As soon as Augustine's words fell, Wu Rui raised his eyebrows: "That height is not enough for me to stuff my teeth!" ”
"That goal just now, I thought it was a warm-up." scored on the stage, which also made Wu Rui feel good: "The next goal is a little higher, don't think I'm so foolish!" ”
"Come on, Michael, are you papery when the defense on the opposite side!" On the side, Biyombo, who also returned to defense, laughed: "This empty connection is just good luck, the other party can't give you another chance to receive the empty connection, it's better to be conservative." ”
"OK, OK, Bismarck, you're right." Wu Rui nodded, and then looked at DJ Augustin: "DJ, don't pass the next ball to Bismarck, this guy doesn't even dare to ask for an empty catch, don't waste the opportunity." ”
"Michael ......"
Biyombo obviously wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Wu Rui: "Bismarck, believe me, the opponent's defense is much worse than you think!" ”
"Don't forget what we said before." Of course, Wu Rui knew that Biyombo was worried that his attack was too unstable, and when he leaned into Biyombo's ear, Wu Rui whispered: "Russell is still sitting on the court, what we need to do is to lead him to the court!" ”
"At that time, I will be able to fulfill everything I have said."
With that, Wu Rui grinned at Biyombo, looking full of confidence.
"Michael, can you?" Although Wu Rui said that the sky was falling, Biyombo was still a little worried, after all, Wu Rui's next attack method was still anti-running and empty-catching, this kind of trick is fresh, can it really be eaten all over the world?
"Of course, trust me!" Wu Rui nodded violently, and then looked at the opponent's point guard: "Pay attention to defense, Bismarck, defend this ball!" ”
As he spoke, the Thunder players also fell into place, although most of them were people the fans didn't know much, but the only one they knew was the one with the strongest attacking power.
Inside, Kanter caught the pass from his teammates, didn't think about passing the ball at all, directly hit the defender twice, squeezed under the basket with the advantage of strength, forced a layup, and the basketball spun around the basket, and finally turned out.
It's just that the Thunder's offense in this round is not over, seeing that the layup is missed, Kanter pressed the defender, jumped up to make a one-handed basket, and sent the ball into the net!
"Enes Kanter is a mismatch against Aaron Gordon in terms of height and strength, and the Thunder center is almost going to swallow the red life of the slam dunk contest!"
On the commentary bench, Kante played the ball like a heavy center forward, although Kante is not this type of player, but O'Neal, who vaguely saw his shadow, couldn't help but say, and then added: "Of course, if it's me who holds the ball, this will be a violent dunk!" ”
The Magic attacked, DJ Augustin continued to advance with the ball, and near the free throw line, the Magic and Thunder forward players were already secretly competing.
Jerami Grant is an undrafted pick and was born with an inferior position in the league, so every time he appears, he will do his best to show himself, so on the defensive end, Grant is very hard.
However, in the last round, he was just stunned for a moment, and he was directly thrown off by the 0 on the opposite side, this kind of defensive mistake, if the coach remembers it, his playing time will inevitably be affected!
Thinking of this, Grant had to press Wu Rui step by step, not giving an inch!
"Dude, do you need to be so serious?"
Wu Rui, who was closely defended by Grant, took small steps lazily, and his mouth was not idle: "This is completely unnecessary." ”
"Not necessary? Young people, defense is fundamental to the league! Grant thought that Wu Rui was admitting: "Let me teach you a good lesson today!" ”
"Of course that's no problem..."Wu Rui responded to the defender next to him, and at the same time glanced at DJ Augustin, who borrowed the pick-and-roll to enter the interior from the right side: "It's just that you seem to have misunderstood what I mean." ”
Dropping this sentence, Wu Rui didn't bother to run back, and suddenly exerted force under his feet and rushed towards the basket!
Grant was startled and hurriedly caught up, to be honest, Grant was two centimeters taller than Wu Rui, and his steps were not much worse than Wu Rui, but the position between the two was still ruthlessly pulled away.
At that moment, Grant even wanted to ask Wu Rui why he didn't join the track and field team!
Under the basket, Kanter, who was guarding the basket alone, chose to pounce on DJ Augustin, he didn't see Wu Rui running over, in his subconscious, Magic No. 0 was still being pestered by his teammates on the other side of the free throw line.
Augustin, who was holding the ball, saw the big man under the Thunder's only guardian of the basket pounce, flicked his wrist and threw the ball high, and the next moment, Magic No. 0 took off again, as if he had a spring under his feet, and smashed the ball into the basket!
“WOW!”
The Amway Arena, which was originally deflated by Kanter's ability to beat Aaron Gordon's rebound, was in an uproar in an instant, and then the fans wearing magic jerseys stood up and let out a loud shout!
Landed, Wu Rui shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Jerami Grant, who could only watch him empty: "Man, you can't stop me." ”
"So, there's no need to be so serious."
