Chapter 16: Go, Michael

"Michael, go warm up!"

On the sidelines, seeing Jeff Green's poor performance on the defensive end, Frank Vogel was very unhappy.

At this time, the team is behind, not to mention, the players on the court can't even protect a backcourt rebound, which is the most unbearable for Vogel, thinking of this, he can't help but think of a guy on his bench who can't wait to play.

This young man must not let the backcourt rebounds fall aside!

"Yes, Coach!"

Hearing Coach Vogel's words, Wu Rui, who was sitting on the bench, was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up directly from the bench, his face full of excitement: "Are I going to play now?" ”

"Let's go to the side and warm up first."

Looking at Wu Rui's energetic appearance, Vogel smiled slightly, and then shifted his gaze to the court, looking at Jeff Green's ineffective appearance, compared with the two, he paid a little more attention to Wu Rui.

And as the game progressed, Jeff Green's performance became worse and worse, the powerful small forward who had beaten LeBron James again and again on the offensive end, returned to the defensive end, and was directly fouled by Rudy Gay, giving the opponent two free throws!

"Huh!"

Faced with the opportunity to send points, Rudy Gay was not polite, and hit the first free throw steadily, helping the Kings to lead by 10 points at 35:25 with one and a half minutes left in the first quarter!

"Toot!"

At the same time, on the Magic's side, Coach Vogel finally took action and directly called Wu Rui, who was still raising his legs in place, to his side, gave a few words, and patted him on the back: "Go, Michael." ”

"Let's see, the Orlando Magic actually chose to make a substitution with more than a minute left in the first quarter!"

On the sidelines, ESPN's commentators also didn't understand, it stands to reason that the team had already changed people after the first timeout, and it should have kept the lineup until the end of the first quarter, however, the Magic side actually took the lead in adjusting the lineup!

What surprised the commentator even more was that the player who was brought to the court by Coach Vogel at this time was actually the second-round pick selected by the Magic team this summer!

"Magic's No. 0 Michael Wu replaced Jeff Green, and it can be seen that Coach Frank is very unhappy with Jeff Green's performance!" The commentator shook his head as he spoke: "But what effect can it be to replace a rookie player at such a time?" ”

"Let's wait and see."

"Hey Michael, stand this way."

On the court, seeing his little brother Wu Rui coming up, Biyombo, who was standing at the free throw line and preparing to grab a rebound, shouted at Wu Rui, who was stunned in place and didn't know what to do, and then pointed to the position opposite him: "Don't be in a daze, that's where you should go." ”

"Huh?"

was reminded by his teammates, Wu Rui reacted, after all, this is the second time he has stood on the NBA court, although he hinted countless times in his heart when he was preparing just now, but when he really walked on the court and stood here, Wu Rui found that his whole body was so nervous!

So much so that he just wanted to lift his legs, but he forgot the feeling of lifting his legs for a moment, stumbled under his feet, and almost fell to the floor!

Stumbling up, Wu Rui scratched his head embarrassedly, regained the feeling of walking, and trotted all the way to the opposite side of Biyombo, standing where he should stand.

"Hey man, who's that guy? How come I have never met him? ”

The fans of Amway Arena looked at Wu Rui's funny performance, and some couldn't help but want to laugh: "It looks like a clown, such a player can really play in the NBA?" ”

"Brother, you can't say that, do you see his complexion?" On the other side, beside the fan who couldn't help but laugh, his companion pointed at Wu Rui: "That guy is Asian, and an Asian rookie can stand on the NBA stage, which shows that he is definitely not an ordinary person!" ”

Of course, Wu Rui couldn't hear the conversation of the fans on the sidelines, at this time, standing next to a bunch of muscular hunks and preparing to grab rebounds, his heart was open, he felt that his brain was already blank, and his thoughts were completely floating thousands of miles away!

"Hey, newcomer, are you really OK?"

Opposite Wu Rui, Will Courie Stein saw Rudy Gay preparing to make a move, resisted the two magic players next to him, and whispered to Wu Rui, who was still in a state of blindfold in front of him: "Don't be scared to pee your pants by what happened next!" ”

β€œDuang!”

As soon as Will Courie Stein's words fell, Rudy Gay, who was standing at the free throw line, made a second free throw, and the basketball smashed straight into the front of the basket and bounced out.

Obviously, he's going to grab the offensive rebound this time!

"Michael!"

Seeing this scene, Frank Vogel couldn't sit still, and yelled directly at Wu Rui on the field!

He didn't expect that Wu Rui, who he was looking forward to very much, stood on the court at this time, and actually made the same mistake last time - stunned!

"Poofβ€”"

Here, Vogel shouted at Wu Rui, and on the other side, Biyombo and Ibaka worked together to block Will Couri Stein and barely picked up the ball, and the ownership of the rebound ball is not yet known!

"Bang!"

However, the next moment, Will Corry Stein, the young insider, just landed, didn't even need to adjust, took off for the second time, and the goal was to point directly at the basketball in the air!

At the same time, the corner of his eye was still looking for Wu Rui, and he wanted to use his behavior to tell this newcomer - welcome to the NBA!

However, he hadn't looked for Wu Rui yet, so Wu Rui came to the door by himself!

I saw that next to the king's young center, a yellow-skinned player wearing the Magic No. 0 jersey jumped high, stretched his arms, and "whoosh" to grab the basketball before Will Corystein and hold the basketball steadily!

Immediately afterwards, player 0 handed the ball to Peyton Jr. next to him, who held the ball and did not hesitate to launch a fast attack!

Since the players on the Kings' side thought that Will Couri Stein would take the offensive rebounds this time, most of them stayed in the frontcourt, resulting in a lack of defense, and it only took a few seconds for the Magic team to fight back and score two points!

"Oh! The Magic played a beautiful defensive counterattack for the first time in a long time, and the Sacramentos couldn't defend it at all! ”

"They thought there would be a second chance to attack, but this time the rebound was protected by the Magic players!" ESPN's commentator splattered his saliva: "Michael Wu took the basketball that should have belonged to the Kings from Will Courie Stein's head like a rocket!" ”

"Whew!"

On the court, seeing his teammates score two points, Wu Rui looked down at his hands, then at his legs, took a deep breath, and patted his cheek violently!

The race has just begun!
