Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Stepping Stone

"Janis, you need to calm down!"

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Jason Kidd, who was the brain of the whole team when he was a player, has a very clear mind, and now as the head coach of the team, he has a clear view of the situation on the court.

Although Wu Rui's performance is eye-catching, his shortcomings are also obvious, he is very unstable, so Vogel has always pressed Wu Rui on the bench and acted as the team's sixth or seventh man.

As long as the situation is kept deadlocked, it is impossible for Wu Rui to stay on the court at the last moment of the game.

But the team obviously had a problem in the stalemate, and the team's star Janis Antetokounmpo was deeply affected by Wu Rui, who was also physically energetic!

'The young guy on the other side doesn't have the same central position as you, so he's going to give it his all and try to get more playing time. Kidd comforted the young team core: "He's not at the same level as you, don't be influenced by him. ”

"Janis, if you're going to be dragged down by a second-round rookie, you're never going to be able to beat LeBron James!"

Leaving this sentence behind, Kidd said no more, knowing that the wise Greeks would understand the simplest of truths.

Wu Rui is just a stepping stone on the road to Janis Antetokounmpo's challenge to the hegemony of the alliance.

"Michael, keep it up!"

On the other side, on the Magic bench, Frank Vogel took the initiative to hand Wu Rui a towel.

After Wu Rui thanked him, Vogel continued: "But your projection is so bad, hurry up and get back to the feeling of the last game and throw those damn balls into me!" ”

"Janis Antetokounmpo on the other side has played the first quarter and will not play at the beginning of the second quarter, I need you to get back in shape and give the opponent a big gift!"

Vogel put his hand heavily on Wu Rui's body: "Can you do it?" ”

"Don't worry, Coach Frank, the first quarter was just my warm-up." Wu Rui wiped his sweat: "My home stadium has always been the second quarter!" ”

"I'll leave it to you."

Vogel smiled, and was just about to arrange tactics with the other players, Wu Rui continued: "But I have a request. ”

"When Janis is on the pitch, I'm going to be on the pitch too." Wu Rui said, looking at the head coach of the team with a firm gaze: "I want to step over this mountain!" ”

Seeing his player so determined, Vogel hesitated for a moment.

Seriously, when the core of the opposite team meets Wu Rui, it is equivalent to encountering a bottleneck, Jason Kidd will definitely regard Wu Rui as the nourishment on the road to the growth of Brother Alphabet, if Wu Rui continues to play against Brother Alphabet for a long time, maybe it will really make the opponent grow and fall into the opponent's plan.

But Vogel still nodded to Wu Rui, since the other party regards Wu Rui as the nourishment of the core of the team, why shouldn't we?

The Greek monster, Janis Antetokounmpo, is also the most perfect touchstone for Michael Wu's growth!

"Toot!"

A whistle blew, and the second quarter of the Magic-Bucks game began.

On the Magic side, the interior lineup of Aaron Gordon and Bismarck Biyombo was retained, and the guard line sent Mario Hezonia and DJ Augustin, who had been refrigerated for a long time, and the small forward position was Wu Rui, who could not be beaten!

On the Bucks' side, it was indeed as Coach Vogel thought, with Jabari Parker and Antetokounmpo both being left on the court, and the Bucks were replaced by their second lineup.

"Michael Wu is still on the pitch and he will face the former genius Michael Beasley!"

Michael Beasley, the No. 2 pick in the NBA2008 draft, is known as invincible talent, and some fans even compare him to Kevin Durant, which shows that this person is indeed talented.

It's a pity that Beasley's attitude prevented him from shining in the NBA.

However, after experiencing the baptism of CBA, the former pride of the sky is obviously very different.

Last season, Beasley played for the Houston Rockets for a short time, averaging 18 minutes per game, and could efficiently contribute 12.8 points and 4.8 rebounds.

So this season, after coming to the Bucks, Beasley was also entrusted with important tasks by Kidd, and the team's second team was handed over to him to lead the team.

"Hi, I know you, your name is Michael, too."

As soon as he was on the top with Wu Rui, Beasley was very enthusiastic: "I used to play in your country, and it was a good memory. ”

"I'm so grateful to have been there for a while."

Beasley is obviously full of affection for the CBA time, so he is also very friendly to Wu Rui.

However, friendship is friendliness, physical contact when defending is still essential, Beasley is worthy of being the No. 2 show of the year, pressing the defense closely, putting a lot of pressure on Wu Rui.

But Wu Rui is not jealous, he can't get rid of it alone, and he still has teammates to support.

Biyombo blocked and dismantled, Wu Rui directly ran back to the right side of the free throw line, and the ball arrived, it was Aaron Gordon's response in the high position, and the basketball fell steadily into Wu Rui's hands.

Bending his knees, jumping up, and shooting, Wu Rui threw the most comfortable ball in the position he was best at, and the basketball naughtily bounced the back edge of the basket, and finally fell into the net!

"At 32:25, the Magic team scored a goal at the beginning of the second quarter, or Michael Wu, the good hand of the last game, maybe it will continue!"

The commentator on the sidelines said as he flipped through the technical statistics: "Three of four shots, Michael has scored six points!" ”

On the court, Wu Rui hit this ball and sighed at Beasley, who was belated: "Michael, your defense is really good, but my target today is not you." ”

As he spoke, Wu Rui shifted his gaze to the bench of the Bucks and looked at the big body that was also staring at him: "Your teammates are the highlight of today!" ”

Off the court, Janis Antetokounmpo held the towel tightly, looking at Wu Rui, who once again protected the backcourt rebounds on the court, and quickly assisted Ezonha to score two more points, he couldn't wait to be on the court now and knock the opponent to the ground!

"Calm down, Janis, do you think sitting on the sidelines is just about appreciating the goals of the opposing side?"

Seeing his beloved apprentice in such a gaffe, Kidd walked directly to Brother Alphabet, squatted down, and pointed to Wu Rui who was running on the field: "Look at Michael Wu's movements and carefully observe every detail of him." ”

"Remember, every attack he has on the pitch is giving it his all, finding his holes, and then breaking them down in one fell swoop!" Kidd patted Antetokounmpo on the thigh, "That's what you're supposed to do now!" ”

A good stepping stone is for the leader of the team to study carefully and then break through!
