Chapter 103: Indispensable

"92:87, in fact, the strength of the two teams is very close, and they each played a good quarter."

At the end of the game, the commentator on the sidelines was a little helpless: "The Orlando Magic's second lineup had a problem in the second quarter, and Phoenix's team seized the opportunity. ”

"If Wu had been able to play, the result would have been very different." Another commentator sighed: "But a win in a game can't be compared to the health of a potential stock. ”

"I raise my hands to Coach Frank Vogel's decision!"

As the commentator said, although the fans at the scene were a little frustrated by the loss of the game, they should not forget that this was in the absence of Wu Rui.

"If Michael plays in the second quarter, he's going to kill the game with his mid-range shot!"

"Come on, buddy, have you ever seen a game kill in the second quarter? If you want me to say, Michael will dread the opponent's basket in the second quarter! ”

"Hey, bro, we have already won this game, don't forget, Michael can score another 18 points!"

The fans talked to each other, and it seemed that the loss of this game was not seen as a disaster.

Similarly, on the Magic side, the overall atmosphere of the team is not very depressing.

The teammates walked off the court, and Wu Rui was the first to go up and hug everyone.

"Sergi, I'm really sorry I didn't have anything to contribute to this game."

"It's nothing, Michael, this game has nothing to do with you at all." Ibaka was a little embarrassed by the young man's self-blame: "You know, man, you just need to rest well, and when it's time to come back, show everyone how tough you are!" ”

"When the time comes, win the game, invite me to the nightclub to have fun, that's enough!"

After speaking, Ibaka didn't forget to glance at Wu Rui with a little meaning, and it seemed that his mood was not affected at all because of the loss.

"That's fine, Sergi, I should have asked you for the last game, but I went to the hospital......"

Wu Rui scratched his head: "When I come back and win the game, I will definitely invite you!" ”

After greeting Ibaka, there were also players on the Suns' side who walked over to the Magic bench, and it was the biggest contributor to their victory today - Devin Booker!

In the whole game, Booker contributed 19 points and 9 assists, and he played very well.

"Hi Michael Wu!"

After saying hello to Wu Rui, Booker took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "I feel very sorry that I couldn't fight you." ”

"Me too." Wu Rui was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand with a smile: "If I were on the field, I would be on the bench of the sun now, and I would be shaking hands with you." ”

"Oh, you're saying if you play, we're going to lose this game?"

Withdrawing his hand, Booker also smiled: "I already knew that you were a newcomer with great lip service, and sure enough, yes." ”

"I'm looking forward to the next fight with you and hopefully you'll be able to play when the time comes."

Booker's time was also limited, so he casually talked to Wu Rui, turned around and walked to the away team's player tunnel.

"Alright, Michael, go back, that kid isn't a good bird."

Behind Wu Rui, Bismarck Biyombo urged a few words.

"I know, Bismarck, so I'm sorry I couldn't give him a couple of hot pots on the field." Wu Rui shook his head, and then jumped on the spot twice: "I hope this truce won't be too long, and it feels bad to watch the game off the court!" ”

Wu Rui is a bench player, and he has been sitting on the sidelines to watch the game before, but at least he still has a sense of anticipation to be able to play, even after the game against the Pacers, he is always ready to play.

But today, it felt completely different, he knew that no matter how he prepared and warmed up, he would not get even a minute of playing time!

"Coach Frank, I'm really okay and I hope to play in the next game!"

Early the next morning, Wu Rui finished the morning training early, and waited until Vogel pushed the door in, and said directly to the door.

Vogel, who was holding a stack of documents in his hand, was obviously taken aback by Wu Rui's enthusiasm, and was stunned for a few seconds, and then smiled slightly: "Okay, if I don't let you play again, you're about to collapse." ”

"Really? Instructor? Will I play in the next game? ”

"Of course, Michael, I actually thought about letting you play in the last minute of the last game." Vogel confessed: "But everything has to be done with your health first. ”

Opening a copy of the document in his hand, Vogel showed Wu Rui: "This is a more detailed examination of your head injury, and you have no signs of injury at all. ”

"It's incredible, you hit your head on the floor!" Vogel was still a little surprised: "I once heard that there is a traditional kung fu in China, called Tietou Gong? Maybe Michael, you've practiced this trick too? ”

"Iron head work?" Wu Rui was also stunned, thinking of his almost perfect body after being reborn, he smirked twice: "That's right, coach, I am the twenty-fifth generation descendant of Shi Tietougong, so this level of fall injury is like being bitten by a mosquito to me." ”

Vogel smiled, in fact, even if he didn't get the most authoritative medical certificate, he might have let Wu Rui play.

Because in the last game against the Suns, the lack of bench scoring points after the team lacked Wu Rui was too obvious, and the next opponent was not a good stubble, if Wu Rui was still absent, maybe it would be another defeat!

You know, if they lose to the Washington Wizards in the next game, the Magic will have to go to Milwaukee next and face the Bucks with Brother Alphabet and Parker again, and at that time, on their home court, the Magic is likely to lose again!

At that time, with three consecutive defeats, in San Antonio, there was still a top team in the league waiting for them!

That way, by the time the four road trips are over, the Magic back in Orlando will be saddled with a four-game losing streak, which Vogel doesn't want to see.

Looking at Wu Rui, who was full of energy on the other side of the court, who was back into the warm-up, Vogel didn't know what to say for a while.

This guy, who was once not very optimistic about himself, has actually become an indispensable backbone of the team!

George Washington – one of the greatest presidents in American history, one could even be removed!

And the city of Washington is the political capital of the United States!

The Verizon Verizon Center Arena in Washington was also full of fans watching the game, shouting the name of the Wizards in unison, looking forward to the team's victory at home!

"John, the young man you've always been optimistic about may not play?"
