Chapter Fifty-Three: Forcibly Empty!

"Coach Frank Vogel, you must be crazy!"

The commentator from ABC was very sure that the head coach of the Magic standing on the sidelines at this moment must have made a mistake.

Look at the score of the two teams at this time, to be honest, the gap is not big, it has not yet reached the time when the fish is dead and the net is broken, although the scene looks like the magic is suppressed to the death, but the basketball is round, and if it does not roll to the last moment, no one knows what will happen.

Otherwise, there would be no classic Reggie Miller with Tracy McGrady.

Based on this idea, seeing Wu Rui who was surrounded by the magic starters at this time, the commentator could only shake his head.

But, no matter how he shook his head, the fact was in front of his eyes, Wu Rui appeared on the court, as the starter of the third quarter of the Magic!

“GO,GO,GO!”

Standing on the baseline and sending the ball out, Ibaka shouted as he ran forward.

Although the team is behind at this time, to be honest, it is not completely without a chance, and after Wu Rui's righteous indignation in the locker room at this time, he must drive the emotions of the whole team!

Payton Jr., as the point guard of the Magic, also has a good understanding of this, between holding the ball and advancing, he keeps waving his other hand to direct the running position towards his teammates, and the head coach is responsible for directing off the court, and when he arrives on the court, the point guard is the brain of the whole team!

Since the second half had just begun, the Jazz's defense was not as tight as the first half, and the Magic's offense was a little slower, with the two sides playing back and forth, each playing into two rounds.

It was the turn of the Magic offense again, and at this time, the Jazz's defense finally returned to the normal level, under their strict watch, the running position of the Magic players had no effect at all, and there was no chance to run out of empty positions at all, especially Wu Rui, who started the game in the third quarter, was stared at by the opposing Gordon Hayward!

"Young man, are you all there is to this?"

After a few rounds against Wu Rui, Hayward couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Prior to this, Hayward had been playing against Aaron Gordon, even if he dropped another gear, it was Jeff Green, and compared with Wu Rui, the pressure on Hayward's defense was obviously not magnitude.

He didn't look down on Wu Rui, on the contrary, Hayward attached great importance to this young man who was directly taken to the court in the third quarter, after all, it would definitely not be a good stubble to play in this situation.

But Wu Rui's performance on both offensive and defensive ends made the All-Star forward not very dissatisfied.

"Of course, that's my level." Wu Rui on the other side was also very uncomfortable with Hayward's close defense, so he could only answer slowly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you." ”

Wu Rui's words made Hayward stunned for a moment, in the NBA, where you provoke me and I provoke your whole family, he has never seen a guy who verbally admits cowardice!

However, it was his stunned look that Wu Rui, who originally felt troublesome, instantly seized the opportunity, leaned on Hayward, and then turned around and rushed towards the basket, and at the same time, raised his right hand!

"Michael Wu rushes to the basket, he's asking for the ball!" Wu Rui's instantaneous movements were keenly captured by the courtside commentators, but after glancing at the guy guarding the basket, he sighed again: "Look at Rudy Gobert, who has been waiting for a long time under the basket, Elfried Payton can't pass over, and Michael won't get the ball." ”

Indeed, with Gobert guarding the basket, no one can easily challenge it, let alone Wu Rui.

Little Peyton had the same idea in his heart, but the next moment, Wu Rui's raised right hand, raised his index finger, and pointed to the sky!

Seeing his teammates' signals, Peyton Jr. was stunned, what he wanted was an empty catch!

Running back to get rid of the defender and go straight into the three-second zone, at this time it was indeed a perfect time to receive the air, although it was Gobert standing under the basket, but thinking of Wu Rui's words in the locker room, Payton Jr. gritted his teeth and made a decision in an instant!

"Whoosh!"

The basketball flew out of the hands of the young point guard, heading straight for the left side of the basket, and at the same time, Wu Rui, who shook off Hayward and rushed straight to the basket, bent his legs, and slammed into the air, holding the ball with both hands!

And, with inertia, the whole person glides towards the basket!

Almost at the same time, Rudy Gobert, who was guarding the basket, saw the opportunity, jumped up, raised his long arms high, and in his opinion, Wu Rui's ball would be his third block in this game!

In the air, two opponents who are two meters tall and face up collide with each other, different in the direction of their impact.

Wu Rui tried his best to pour the ball into the basket, Gobert stretched out one arm, trying to slam Wu Rui's challenge to his dunk this time, and directly stifled!

“Duang!”

"Bang!"

Two crisp sounds sounded at the same time, the basketball smashed in front of the basket and flew out, Wu Rui was directly overturned to the ground by Gobert, making a heavy noise!

On the sidelines, Frank Vogel's heart sank, Wu Rui's forced empty connection this time was obviously a failure!

"Toot!"

But, just as Vogel was about to sigh at the next second, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded!

"Rudy Gobert defensive foul? Michael Wu actually got two free throws! Seeing the referee's decision, the commentator was a little surprised: "Unbelievable, I thought it would be a beautiful block for Rudy, but the referee still rewarded and punished clearly." ”

"Michael!"

As soon as the referee's whistle fell, the magic players on the court hurriedly rushed to Wu Rui, who had not yet gotten up, and as soon as Peyton wanted to ask about Wu Rui's situation, he saw Wu Rui raise his right hand and clench his fists tightly!

"Elfried Payton!" With a roar, Wu Rui's eyes were cold, and he looked at Little Peyton: "Next time, give me a little higher!" ”

"I'm so much higher than Bismarck!"

After that, Wu Rui was still lying on the ground, but a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"You guy!"

Wu Rui's moment obviously showed that he didn't have any major problems at all, and Peyton Jr. laughed and pulled Wu Rui up with Ibaka.

Standing on the free throw line, Wu Rui made one of two free throws and scored the first point of the game!

"Wu hit the second free throw to help the home team score another point, and although it was only one point, his move may have said something."

When Wu Rui retreated, the commentator on the sidelines added his opinion: "Frank Vogel replaced Michael, who had very trivial playing time, maybe it was to let him come up and impact the Utah Jazz's inside." ”

"He's only the tenth man in Orlando, and he's hitting the backbone of Salt Lake City's defense!"
