Chapter Eighty-Six: Tactical Arrangements
The two teams on the field missed the iron one after another, which also made many fans on the sidelines feel stomach pain.
They're here to enjoy the NBA's blood-pumping offense, not to buy tickets to watch two teams play music!
The commentators on the sidelines also had a lot to say about the performance of the two teams, but on the sidelines, the managers of the two teams were unmoved.
Rick Carlisle knows that what the team lacks is firepower on the offensive end, in other words, he can't shoot, which was a big problem in the past, but now the opponent can't shoot either.
Since the game between the two sides is iron, he doesn't need to make any changes to the lineup at all, besides, the Mavericks even have Dorian Smith as the starter, and to be honest, they can take any players to rotate.
On the other hand, Frank Vogel has a different idea, although the Magic can't find a sense on the offensive end now, but the team's defense is now very active, and many times the Mavericks' tactical offense has been destroyed by the players' active running.
Vogel is happy with such a positive defensive attitude, and now these guys on the team just need to slowly get back to their offensive touch, and sooner or later the game will return to the rhythm of the Magic.
As Vogel thought, the Magic were better than they could have shot, and they temporarily led 21-16 at home after the first quarter.
"The Dallas Mavericks made 22 shots in the first quarter and only hit 4 shots, and the 18.7 percent shooting rate is simply unreasonable!" The dreary first quarter finally ended, and the commentator on the sidelines flipped through the technical statistics with a displeased face: "If it weren't for the free throws of 7 of 8, they would have even scored in single digits in the first quarter!" ”
"On the other hand, the home team Orlando Magic is not doing well, even if they are ahead, but with a 34.8% shooting rate, they will be the side behind at any time!"
Another commentator was even more sharp: "Look at the sleepy fans in Amway Arena, the two NBA teams are simply hypnotic, and everyone is looking forward to an offensive round that can cheer up!" ”
"Hey, buddy, an offensive round that can cheer up, are you talking about dunks?" When it came to dunking, the commentator was immediately interested: "Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon, the runner-up of the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, will definitely satisfy your wishes!" ”
"No, man, did you hear, the Magic had an intra-team training game yesterday!" The commentator who raised the topic also looked excited: "I heard that Michael Wu gave the slam dunk runner-up a hot pot in the slam dunk contest!" ”
"Are you kidding? Michael Wu risked Aaron Gordon? ”
"Of course, man, to be honest, I'm looking forward to Michael being able to deliver a TOP dunk today, I'm so sleepy!"
The two commentators were talking to each other, on the sidelines, on the Magic bench, Coach Vogel was also making tactical arrangements, and glanced at Wu Rui, who was listening carefully, and he paused: "Michael, do you understand?" ”
"I don't understand, Mr. Frank." Wu Rui nodded, then shook his head and pointed to the tactical board: "Is this position too far, I want to go a little further." ”
"Yesterday wasn't far here, Michael, you scored two goals in a row here." Before Vogel could speak, Bismarck Biyombo interjected: "Young man, do you think the three-point line in this arena is much longer than the training gym?" ”
"Oh, by the way, you used to think that the weight of a game ball is different from a training ball!"
Biyombo said, suddenly telling Wu Rui what had happened to him, and then laughed.
"Shut your foul mouth, Bismarck!" Wu Rui glared at Biyombo, then took a deep breath and looked at Vogel: "Okay, sir, I think I'm too nervous. ”
It is impossible for Wu Rui not to be nervous, because this is the first time that Coach Vogel has designed offensive tactics for Wu Rui since he coached the team!
Similarly, this is the first time in Wu Rui's career that he has become the core figure of the team's offensive end in an official game!
"Relax, Michael, the defense on the other side is not as good as ours."
As soon as Wu Rui finished speaking, Vucevic, who was still his "opponent" yesterday, wiped his sweat: "You shot us through yesterday!" ”
"That's right, Michael, relax, in this game, the opponent is short of major generals, and it is not our opponent in the first place, even if you fall behind on the field, the victory will not be taken away." Frank Vogel injected Wu Rui with a shot in the arm: "Go ahead and do it boldly, just like you did yesterday!" ”
"Okay, Coach!"
Seeing that the referee was ready to blow the whistle, Wu Rui did not hesitate, stood up from the bench, walked towards the court, and asked Vogel at the same time: "Sir, do you have any other requirements?" ”
"Of course, my Michael." Vogel smiled kindly at Wu Rui: "I ask you to get the same score as yesterday!" ”
The baseline ball was issued, and the second quarter of the game between the Magic and the Mavericks officially began, and the commentator on the sidelines looked at the Mavericks lineup and was stunned at first: "Unexpectedly, after Coach Rick Carlisle won Harrison and Seth in the second half of the first quarter, he let them reappear at the beginning of the second quarter!" ”
"I'm looking forward to the performance of Orlando more than Dallas!" Before his accomplice could finish speaking, another commentator couldn't wait: "Look at the kid in the Magic No. 0 jersey, Michael Wu is on the court!" ”
As soon as I saw Wu Rui running on the court, many fans in the audience who were about to fall asleep were woken up by the friends around them, Wu Rui averaged almost an air relay per game, but it made them remember it vividly, although after Indianapolis came back, many people eliminated him from the ranks of the team's future pillars, but the players who can deliver wonderful dunks, they still like it very much.
Different from the expectations of these people on the sidelines, Wu Rui, who was fighting with Harrison Barnes in the front court at this time, was very flustered!
The last request of the head coach of the team was to get the same score as in yesterday's training match, which was his extraordinary performance, and it was impossible to get it in a game!
"Newcomer, are you scared?" Wu Rui's panic was trembling in the eyes of the defenders, and the corners of Barnes's mouth raised: "Hey, it's not a shame to be blocked by me!" ”
"Are you kidding?" Wu Rui glanced at the narcissistic Barnes, and then directly used a block from Biyombo who walked over to get rid of Barnes's defense, and then came out, standing two steps inside the three-point line, and posed to receive the ball.
CJ Wilcox, who was holding the ball, did not hesitate, and in accordance with the tactical requirements, he transmitted the ball over, Wu Rui caught it steadily and exhaled!
