Chapter Eighty-Three: The Loser Is Punished
"Come, Michael, vote for me!"
The basketball fell into Wu Rui's hands impartially, and Jeff Green, who was defending him, stopped in front of him, with his hands open, and his defensive posture was very standard.
Although Wu Rui is his teammate, this is an intra-team training game, and Green doesn't want to be scored on his own head by the newcomers of his own team!
"Jeff, you should come closer."
may be a subconscious distrust of Wu Rui's projection, Jeff Green said that he would let Wu Rui cast it to him, but in fact, the defensive position was still a little back, preventing Wu Rui's breakthrough.
This also gave Wu Rui a chance to shoot!
While speaking, Wu Rui directly raised the ball above his head, posed in an extremely standard posture, and threw the ball before Green could make up for it!
Can you enter!
This is the only question in Wu Rui's heart, he feels that there is no problem with his shot, and the strength and arc are just right.
βDuangοΌβ
However, it was just the right shot, slightly larger, that smashed into the back edge of the basket, but the rebound was still controlled by Vucevic in the starting group, who grabbed the rebound, jumped a second time, and put the ball firmly in the basket.
"Dude, you need to be more confident." scored the second attack, Vucevic slapped Wu Rui's back while retreating: "That action is too stiff, you don't believe that the ball can be scored at all." β
"No, Nikolai, I just thought it might go in."
"Maybe? Oh, Michael, the reason you might get in is because you're not confident enough. Vucevic smiled at Wu Rui: "You don't need to think too much when shooting, just shoot that damn basketball into the basket!" β
Back to the defensive end, the overall strength of the starting group is obviously much stronger than that of the bench group, even if Biyombo worked very hard to resist Ibaka, but it was still difficult to score points, the offense was interfered with, and the starting group got the opportunity to break quickly.
Payton Jr. and Wu Rui went down quickly, 2 to 1 in the frontcourt, and DJ Augustin simply didn't take it off guard and let his teammates perform at will.
This ball also ended with Wu Rui receiving a pass from his teammate's back and dunking with both hands.
Payton Jr. and Wu Rui slapped their hands: "It's better for you to dunk, Michael." β
Wu Rui smiled silently, the legs he had after his rebirth were indeed full of explosiveness, and it was very easy to dunk, but just like Coach Vogel once said, basketball is not only about dribbling and running, and similarly, basketball is not just about dunking!
Projection is the most important thing!
The players on both sides knew each other, the game went fast, there were few fouls, there were no timeouts, and the first half went very well.
With Vogel blowing a halt to the game, the starting group temporarily won 57:45, leading the bench by 12 points.
And Wu Rui's data is the worst in the starting group, with three shots and one hit, 2 points and 3 boards.
"Michael, let's change your clothes." At halftime, Vogel took a black training uniform and handed it to Wu Rui: "In the second half, you are on a team with Bismarck." β
Handing over the clothes to Wu Rui, Coach Vogel suddenly clapped his hands and focused the players' attention on himself: "OK, boys, there is still half time before the team training match ends, and there will be additional punishment for the losing side in this game." β
βWhatοΌβ Vogel suddenly added a rule, which instantly surprised the lagging side, especially Biyombo, who jumped up directly from the floor: "Coach Frank, are you joking?" β
"Of course not, there are winners and losers in the game, and naturally there must be rewards and punishments." Vogel said, pointing to the court: "The losing side, after the training is over, run around the field for five more laps." β
"Michael, you're in a special situation." After saying the punishment, Vogel looked at Wu Rui: "You belong to Bismarck's team, so work hard." β
Belonging to the Biyombo team, which means that he is now five more laps away and is already 12 points behind?
Wu Rui was numb by Vogel's scalp, in other words, his performance of working so hard in the first half, in the end, was all punished by himself!
"Coach Frank, you're such a good coach."
Looking at Vogel's back, Wu Rui could even imagine the smile on the corner of his mouth.
But the rules have been set, and if the head coach of the team speaks, no one dares to resist at all, Wu Rui and they can only bear it silently!
"Guys, there's still half time to go, we can't just throw in the towel!" The second half is about to begin, and Wu Rui also shouted everyone together: "Let the other side see our real level!" β
"Of course, Michael, I didn't even dare to use all my strength when you were on the other side just now!" Biyombo threw the towel aside, although he was about to accept the punishment, but he couldn't admit defeat in terms of momentum!
With a 12-point deficit, Wu Rui stepped onto the court, unlike in the first half, this time there was no absolutely overwhelming teammate, and Wu Rui was even the one who could score the most in the team.
In other words, in the second half, Wu Rui was the arrow figure of the substitute group!
Everything was logical, DJ Augustin took the ball into the half court, directly put the ball in Wu Rui's hands, and then opened up the space and handed it to Wu Rui to play Aaron Gordon alone.
"Michael, as long as you don't break through, I'll cast whatever you want."
Aaron Gordon, who rested for a half, looked very "humble" in the face of Wu Rui, in his opinion, Wu Rui's main threat is only the dunk after the breakthrough, shooting?
Don't laugh!
"Dude, are you serious?" Wu Rui shrugged his shoulders and relieved the pressure on his muscles: "This is my scoring point." β
One step away from the right side of the free throw line, Wu Rui's training shooting point every morning!
"Please start your show."
But even here, Aaron Gordon still adopted a look of defense, he knew Wu Rui too well.
Seeing his teammates, the opponent at this time, like this, Wu Rui did not hesitate, without saying a word, he jumped up directly and bent his arms to shoot!
The whole action was smooth, and after the shot, Wu Rui didn't even look at the frame, and turned back to defend directly!
As Vucevic said, he thinks this goal can definitely be scored!
"Huh!"
The basketball was in close contact with the Nets, making a crisp sound, and Wu Rui, as the starting small forward of the bench group, put in the first goal at the beginning of the second half!
At 47:57, the bench was 10 points behind the opponent!
"Michael, you're in!"
Compared with chasing the score, Wu Rui finally scored two points, which made Biyombo ecstatic, he ran back to defense, while catching up with Wu Rui, who had already turned around, and rubbed Wu Rui's head: "Yes, young man, the posture is really standard!" β
"I've got to get that shot, Bismarck." Wu Rui also smiled: "Fortunately, I did it, and... It's great to be able to score with a shot! β
Which side will add five laps, everything, it is still unknown!
