At the Bankers Living Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana, fans are exiting the stadium and fans in Pacers jerseys are talking and laughing, and it is clear that the team's comeback at home is in a good mood.

On the sidelines, Paul George, wearing the No. 13 jersey, was also interviewed by reporters on the sidelines with a smile, and he scored 29 points in the game, and he knew almost everything about reporters, of course, the content of the answer was still very general, and there was nothing worth digging into.

There was a sense of post-victory joy in the arena, but on the contrary, the visitors from Orlando in the away locker room at the Bankers Life Arena didn't look good.

"Cheer up, lads, it's just a regular season, it's not a big deal."

Seeing his players bow their heads and remain silent, Frank Vogel, as the head coach, took the initiative to speak, not as strict as after the previous few defeats, he seemed very calm: "Clean up, we should go back to Orlando!" ”

"Coach, this was supposed to be a victory for you, but I messed everything up because of my performance."

Vogel's uncharacteristic speech made Wu Rui's guilt deeper, and among the players, he was the first to speak: "You sent me to let me limit Paul George's play, but I not only did not restrict him, but let him find his ...... feeling"

"And I couldn't find a way to beat him on the offensive end, my performance was the reason for the team's collapse!"

Wu Rui was very guilty, before he didn't play, the team even pressed the opponent to play, and Coach Vogel sent himself, definitely not to let himself lose.

It's a pity that I let the manager's expectations fall short!

"Michael, it's not your problem, the loss of this game has the biggest relationship with me!"

Wu Rui has just finished reflecting, his side, Bismarck Biyombo also stood up, he has always been able to play steadily in the previous games, today is also not good, although he grabbed nine rebounds, but in terms of scoring, he is a little stretched.

'I didn't play as well as I should when I came off the bench, otherwise the team wouldn't have been overtaken!'

It was Biyombo's consecutive missed key layups in the third quarter that caused the Pacers to overtake the score in a wave and take the initiative until the end of the game.

So at this time, Biyombo stood up and took the initiative to take responsibility, which is also understandable.

It's just that the benches of both teams came out to admit their mistakes, and several starters naturally couldn't sit still, and Payton Jr., as the team's starting point guard, was the first to stand up and self-review his hesitation in the implementation of several tactics.

As soon as Payton Jr. came out, it was naturally a lead, and Ibaka, Fournier and others came out to reflect on the mistakes they made in this game.

"Coach Frank, you deserved this victory, it was my terrible performance that ruined ......"

"No, no, Evan, you've done a good job, you've hit all the free throws, haven't you?" Before Evan Fournier could finish speaking, Vogel interrupted his disciple with a smile and looked at the players in the locker room who stood up one by one: "Hey, guys, did you guys make a mistake?" ”

"First of all, I'm very happy that everyone is aware of their shortcomings, which saves a lot of time, which means we can get on the plane back to Orlando earlier."

Vogel said, his eyes fell on Wu Rui again, it was his first reflection that caused the whole team to set off a wave of introspection and confession.

Seriously, Vogel now has some love and hate for Wu Rui's much-talking attributes.

This young man often speaks freely in front of the camera, allowing the media to find an opportunity to take advantage of it and capitalize on it, this kind of public opinion orientation is the most disadvantageous thing for a rookie.

But back in the team, Wu Rui can always use his words to play a "mistaken" role.

For example, before this game, the momentum of the whole team was mobilized, and it was this momentum that made the first half of the first quarter of the Magic play impressively, and for example, his sincere admission of mistakes just now actually made the rest of the players reflect, which was unexpected by Vogel.

"Michael, you might think Paul George is a minor character?" Vogel put his mind down and looked at Wu Rui: "Young man, he is an All-Star, a player who can be selected for the league's All-NBA and All-Defensive Team. ”

"With him, if you can still taste the sweetness, maybe now I should ask the management to put you on the shelf and see what other teams have to offer."

"Mr. Frank, I don't want to be traded!"

Wu Rui listened attentively, and when he heard that he put himself on the shelf to listen to the quotation, he subconsciously shouted, and instantly reacted again: "Coach, are you kidding?" ”

"Of course, there is any team outside of Orlando that is interested in you at the moment." Vogel seemed very pleased with Wu Rui's reaction: "So, in order to be a hot player in the trading market, you should know what you have to do. ”

Become a hot player in the player trading market?

When the head coach said this, he naturally didn't really want to put Wu Rui on the shelf of the transaction, so the real focus of this sentence is what Wu Rui should do next!

In this regard, Wu Rui knows the way - hard practice!

So, in the early morning of Orlando, in the Orlando Magic team training hall, the sound of striking iron came and went.

Wu Rui, who was naked on the upper body, picked up the basketball next to him while shooting, dribbled to the bottom line, and then dribbled the ball back to the position where he shot before, shot again, and repeated the process in a loop until the team's head coach Vogel appeared beside him.

"Michael, you're still so early."

Vogel waved his hand at Wu Rui, who was about to greet him, and motioned for him to continue: "What kind of training is this?" I'm pretty sure I didn't teach you that. ”

"Yes, Coach Frank, it's not what you taught." Wu Rui replied, jumped up, and the basketball drew a perfect arc and fell steadily into the net, and then, Wu Rui bent his knees, took a ball from the ball rack next to him, and dribbled to the bottom line while taking a step: "This is the training method I figured out by myself." ”

"I still lack a lot of things, but time is limited, and I have to find the most efficient way to speed up my training."

"So, you combined dribbling and shooting?" Vogel nodded at Wu Rui's idea: "Very good idea, Michael, but basketball is not about running back and forth with the ball. ”

"Of course, Mr. Frank, maybe you should look at the other training I have in mind!"
