Chapter 2 One More Time?
Frank Vogel, the head coach of the Indiana Pacers last season and the excellent coach who led the Pacers to the Eastern Conference Finals two years in a row, parted ways with the Pacers before the start of this season.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of teams that need him in good coaches, and this season, as the head coach of the Orlando Magic, Vogel has a heavier burden on his shoulders when he looks at these young players.
The two consecutive defeats at the beginning of the season are enough to show that this Magic team lacks too many winning factors, and now, against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Eastern giant, there are still five and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter, and they are still trailing by 21 points!
What made Vogel even more resentful was the choice the team made in the second round of this year's draft.
Although the second-round pick in the hands of the Magic is relatively late, it is also an opportunity to Taobao, and Vogel would never have dreamed that the team's management would waste such a precious Taobao opportunity and choose a young forward player from Asia and China!
The team's poor record and the team's high-level Taobao ability are worrying, all of which have upset the former best coach in the East, and the team is about to lose three in a row today, and he simply won all the starters, sent the third team led by the Chinese rookie, and officially announced that he had given up the game.
And the Chinese rookie really didn't "disappoint" Vogel.
Just on the field, facing the offensive players, he was actually in a daze!
"Michael!"
Vogel couldn't bear it anymore, and roared loudly at Wu Rui, who was in a daze on the field, and then directly pinched his waist with both hands, and at the same time made up his mind in his heart that when this game is over, he must report the situation to the team's top management!
This kind of player, Vogel admits to himself, his own team will never allow his existence!
It's just that the next moment, Vogel was taken aback by what was happening in front of him.
On the court, Cavaliers player Iman Shampot, who was standing outside the three-point line on the wing, adjusted his shooting posture slightly, and then still chose to shoot three points!
After all, in front of his eyes, all he was defending was a dull Asian rookie, and this was almost an open shooting opportunity!
"Whoosh!"
However, as soon as the Shambaught ball was shot, and before it flew far, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly!
Originally, the Asian rookie who was supposed to be standing in front of him stupidly suddenly started, ran in front of Shambaught in two big steps, and jumped on one foot, like a big bird, and opened his arms!
The palm of his hand is the basketball that Shambaugh just shot!
"Bang!"
A crisp sound spread throughout the court, and the basketball that was supposed to fly towards the basket was slapped by Wu Rui in the air and flew directly out of the bottom line!
"Whew!"
When he landed, Wu Rui lowered his head for the first time, staring at his legs with a pair of eyes, and his heart was rolling!
Although he didn't know why he was here, or even if it was real or a dream, he knew that he was really jumping!
"After all these years, I... Finally jumped? Wu Rui looked at his legs, and his voice trembled a little: "This dream is too cool!" β
After being paralyzed for so many years, Wu Rui has not dreamed less, and the number of times he has stood up in his dreams is not a few, but he has never jumped up so really!
The refreshment of this moment made Wu Rui feel that even if he died in the next second, it would be worth it!
"Oooh!"
At the same time, in the Cleveland Quick-Loan Arena, the fans at the scene let out an exclamation in unison.
"Hey, this guy was at least five meters away from Iman just now! But Iman was actually capped by him! β
"You're wrong, that guy is at least a hundred meters away from Iman! I thought he was going to fall asleep on the pitch! As a result, it's a big hat when you turn around! β
The knight fans at the scene were talking to each other, obviously, Wu Rui's sprinting big bird cap just now really surprised them!
"Bang! Boom! Boom! β
However, what surprised them was not over yet, on the field, Wu Rui, who had just completed the block, was not idle, and jumped directly on the spot three times in a row, and every time he jumped and fell, he tried his best!
"Toot!"
Wu Rui's actions on the field also directly made the on-site cuts whistle directly, which made the excited Wu Rui stop his actions.
"Enough, rookie!" On the other side, Shamboldt, who was served by Wu Rui's big hat, couldn't help it: "Are you humiliating me?" β
"Tell you, the next ball, I'll be in the same position, in front of you to score a goal!"
Dropping this sentence, Shambaugh menacingly whispered a few words to his teammates who were about to serve the sideline ball, and then stood on the three-point line on the wing.
Richard Jefferson, who was about to serve the sideline ball, was a little helpless, and the team was leading the opponent by 21 points at 96-75 at this time, was it necessary to fight so hard?
However, as a veteran who has worked hard in the league for so many years, Jefferson also knows that being slapped a cap outside the three-point line by a rookie is impossible for an NBA player not to get back.
"Boy, I hope you can understand that this is the NBA."
Jefferson muttered helplessly, looking at Wu Rui on the other side, there was a little more pity in his eyes.
Hopefully, Shambaugh's education this time will not affect the rookie's future NBA path.
"Hey, you mean this ball, are you going to shoot in this position?" Seeing that Shambo stood back in the position where he had made his previous shot, Wu Rui walked over directly and continued in his English, which he could still handle: "Are you serious? β
"Of course, I've always said the same!" Shambaught was a little annoyed by Wu Rui, this kid doesn't care about himself, he is still jumping there, is it because he is young?
"Am I going to hat you again in the same place last time?" Although Shambaugh was annoyed, Wu Rui was not tired of it, and directly took two steps back, and asked at the same time: "You say, is it okay here?" β
"Buzz!"
Wu Rui's action directly made the hearts of the fans on the scene jump!
"What is this kid going to do? Is he going to let Iman shoot a three-pointer? β
"Michael! Look after your people! β
On the other side, Magic coach Vogel roared again, he originally wanted to re-examine Wu Rui, but within a few minutes, this kid actually made the same mistake as last time!
Wu Rui's actions completely angered Shambaugh, and he gave Jefferson a direct look, who also understood and passed the ball into Shambaugh's hands!
βShitοΌ You'd better not regret it! β
scolded, Shambaugh didn't even adjust this time, and shot directly in three points!
"Whoosh!"
It's just that he shot very resolutely, and in front of him, the figure appeared even faster!
A powerful palm covered the rising basketball, and then the basketball flew out of the sideline again!
