Chapter 69: Refuse to dunk!
In professional sports, it is always indispensable to greet each other.
Some are verbal greetings, some are fist and foot greetings, of course, the latter appeared more in the last century, and since the new century, verbal greetings have become more frequent, especially after 2010, people seem to have become much more "elegant".
The NBA is a vivid example of the bad boy legion that resounded in the league in the last century, the Auburn Hills palace incident in the new century, all of which were exchanges between players between muscles, and now, the players have clearly reduced the collision of muscles, and the intensity of words has replaced all this.
Trash talk has become a sharp weapon for players to fight each other.
Biyombo has been in the league for many years, and naturally knows how the foul language of some trash talkers can cause psychological trauma to a young rookie, especially the kind of player who has sharp words and can use his offense or defense to achieve his own trash talk, which is simply a nightmare for rookies.
Those young players who are fragile in their hearts, most of whom spent their early careers in mild colleges, where can they stand the "intimidation" of these big names in the NBA, Biyombo is really worried that Wu Rui will be frightened by Westbrook's trash talk.
'Trash talk?' Michael Wu, you're a piece of trash'? No, Bismarck, Russell didn't say this to me. Although Biyombo was worried, Wu Rui shook his head directly: "Seriously, Russell is a good person, he knows what he should do." ”
"But he also reminded me of what Michael should be doing now." Saying that, Wu Rui slapped Biyombo back with a back: "Let's go, Bismarck, it's magic time!" ”
As Westbrook said, the former Thunder had James Harden and Kevin Durant and Westbrook, and at that time, the three of them carried the team on their shoulders and shared all aspects, and Ibaka could help them.
After that, James Harden left the Thunder and left Dewey as the second younger, which could still make the Thunder big in the West, because these are two superstars.
But this season, Durant left Oklahoma, and the only thing this team can do is Wei Shao, and only if he has a big package, this team can go further.
In this way, the life and death of Thunder is basically tied to Wei Shao's performance, if Wei Shao explodes, Thunder wins, and if Wei Shao is extinguished, Thunder loses.
This is also the ultimate embodiment of one person, one city.
"Russell, your choice is understandable." While walking towards the front court, Wu Rui was still muttering: "I respect you, so I want to beat you!" ”
The game continued, because Wu Rui's projection was very unreliable, so Grant directly let him go two steps away, so that if Wu Rui still hit the basket like a 100-meter sprint, he could also leave himself a running distance, so that he would not be thrown too far by Wu Rui.
This is also Billy Donovan's way of telling his players to defend Wu Rui during the timeout, and the effect is obvious, Wu Rui will not be the Magic's projection attack point in the short term, so DJ Augustin can only find a way to pass the ball to the inside and let Biyombo or Aaron Gordon solve the problem.
Fortunately, Biyombo had another move to wipe the basket and barely put the ball in the basket, and the Magic finally broke the scoring drought.
Immediately afterwards, the Thunder's offense was still very simple, the whole court was opened, and Wei Shao singled!
"To be honest, Russell's singles efficiency in this quarter is even higher than the efficiency of normal running tactics!" On the sidelines, Kenny Smith was helpless: "If I were his teammate, my choice would be to give him the ball and open up space. ”
And Wei Shao will not let his teammates down, his legs exploded, directly passing Augustine clean, and then into the three-second zone, a step, he took off directly, and he was about to complete a violent split!
At the last moment, an arm suddenly came out from Wei Shao's back and directly touched the basketball in his hand!
"Bang!"
Wei Shao grabbed the frame with one hand, but the basketball had already flown out!
Landed, Wei Shao turned his head, and in front of him, Wu Rui showed a pat of white teeth towards him: "You are right, the next one will be more exciting." ”
"Chase the big hat! It was Michael Wu, and Michael rejected Russell's inevitable dunk! On the commentary bench, the big shark O'Neal was not as restrained as Barkley, and stood up directly from his seat, although the fat body had some difficulty standing up: "Russell is almost unstoppable in this quarter, but Michael still has to tell the MVP that this is his home court!" ”
"Oooo
At the scene, the magic fans who had been holding back for a long time jumped up instantly, Wei Shao's performance in this section made them chill in their hearts, and they once suspected that no one on their home team could restrain this monster!
Until the appearance of this cap, until the appearance of Wu Rui!
Prevent the opponent from scoring, correspondingly, your team will have one more chance to break fast, Aaron Gordon will certainly not let go of the opportunity to perform, dribble, hold the ball, start, turn, 360!
The super dunk of the slam dunk contest defeated Zach LaVine showed his talent to the fullest in the frontcourt, attracting constant calls from DJs at the scene.
It's just that the broadcast camera of the scene captured the backcourt in the next second, and Wei Shao, who was standing under the basket, seemed to be talking to Wu Rui, the two looked at each other, and suddenly laughed.
Then, Wei Shao patted Wu Rui's shoulder again and returned to his own half.
Wu Rui's block obviously affected the direction of the game, and the magic, which was originally out of breath by Wei Shao's repeated bombing, relieved his breath, and the defensive end was still easily abused by Wei Shao, but he could always return the color on the offensive end.
In the middle of the second quarter, Magic head coach Frank Vogel and Thunder head coach Billy Donovan seemed to have a heart, and at the same time adopted a substitution strategy.
On the Magic side, all three except Biyombo and Aaron Gordon were taken, and when Wu Rui left the court, there were still sporadic fans on the sidelines who stood up and applauded him.
The half-time game went quickly, and the two teams couldn't defend anyone in the second quarter, playing a 35-30 in a single quarter, of course, the Thunder won the single quarter, but at halftime, the home team Magic still led the opponent by nine points at 57:48.
"Russell Westbrook contributed 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter, and if you count the data in the first quarter, he is already on the verge of a triple-double!" With the first-hand data, Charles Barkley was full of praise for Wei Shao: "And they have narrowed the difference to single digits, and the second half of the game is very worth looking forward to!" ”
