Chapter 65: Wu Rui Appears!

The first quarter of the game between the Magic and the Thunder ended with the home team almost completely suppressed.

Serge Ibaka scored 13 points and added six assists in the first quarter against his former club, one more rebound than the two starting interior players on the opposite side combined.

After all, Sabonis Jr. only grabbed one rebound.

With Ibaka playing, the Magic's efficiency has improved dramatically, and the 57 percent shooting percentage in the first quarter speaks for itself.

"Guys, you're doing a great job, those guys from Oklahoma must be at a loss right now!"

Back on the bench, Biyombo, who grabbed a lot of rebounds in the second half of the first quarter, danced: "Especially their MVP, who was completely limited by us!" ”

'Russell is not that kind of player and we have to pay attention to that in the next games.'

Biyombo laughed for a while, and Ibaka, who had the best performance in the first quarter, reminded him that only Ibaka, who had been teammates with Westbrook for many years, really understood Weishao, and he knew that this guy full of energy would never be as abnormal as he did in the first quarter.

On the sideline commentary bench, Charles Barkley thought the same way, he looked at the two colleagues on the other side and tilted his neck: "OK, Kenny, I know you will definitely criticize Russell's performance from the first quarter to the foot." ”

"But I would say we should give him some more time, the team's losing streak, to make him irritable." Barkley said as he listed the data: "Think about it, how can an MVP-level player who averages 31+9+9 per game in a season keep this inefficient state for a whole game? ”

"Of course that's fine, Charles." Before Kenny Smith could speak, Shaquille O'Neal interjected, "Maybe you should give Michael Wu the same amount of time, not just thirty seconds." ”

"Who? Michael Wu? Hearing O'Neal's words, Barkley's originally expressionless big face suddenly raised the corners of his eyebrows: "Shaq, my old fellow, you should always let our little Michael play, so that I can waste some tongue on him." ”

"But he didn't even have 30 seconds of playing time, and his team was already ahead by double digits." Barkley shook his hand: "Maybe, Michael Wu is a spectator sitting in a VIP seat today." ”

"That's enough, Charles, wait and see, Michael will get playing time, he'll show his performance, prove everything." O'Neill was obviously a little excited, but the next moment there was a wicked smile on his face: "Just like his compatriot Yao Ming." ”

When it comes to the connection between Chinese players and Charles Barkley, we have to mention the little giant Yao Ming and the donkey whose ass is worth a thousand gold.

"Shaq, you fat man, don't mention that damn donkey!" O'Neill's words really worked, and Barkley was a little annoyed: "Are you saying that Michael is as good as Yao?" That's impossible, Yao is one of the most talented centre-forwards I've ever seen, and there will never be such a good Chinese player again! ”

"Sir Charles, we might as well take a gamble!"

The two of them didn't deal with each other in the first place, but now they have a war of words, and they are even more humble to each other, O'Neill shook his head: "Michael is definitely the next guy to make you close to the donkey's ass!" ”

"I'm not going to bet with you, I don't want to see that round thing again." Barkley gave up decisively, after all, the donkey's butt is one of the most painful memories in his life, but he went on to stress: "But I don't think I'm going to lose the bet, and Michael Wu has never had the ability to score double-digit points in a single game in the NBA." ”

"The pinnacle of his career will only be the mascot of a lotto team!"

"OK, OK, Charles, you're making an interesting point, and if this mascot can shackle Rudy Gobert, then I think every NBA team would really want to have him." O'Neal said, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Come, guys, let's see how this mascot performs!" ”

Just when the commentary bench was arguing fiercely, the second quarter of the game between the two teams was about to begin, and on the Thunder's side, the lineup had changed a lot, Jeffro Lowenji and Enes Kante partnered on the inside, Alex Ablins and Samaki Criston partnered on the guard line, and the candidate for the small forward position was Jerami Grant, who has a good physical talent!

Although the names of these players sound like each other, in fact, the fans at the Amway Arena in Orlando don't know much except Kante!

Perhaps that's the sadness of the small-ball market, which once had James Harden, Jeff Green, Reggie Jackson, Serge Ibaka and Kevin Durant, but in the end, all that was left was Russell Westbrook and a group of rotation players that few people knew.

On the other hand, on the Magic side, Frank Vogel sent a relatively reliable lineup, Bismarck Biyombo and Aaron Gordon partnered inside, although they do not have an advantage in height, but they are flexible and full of firepower.

On the back line, DJ Augustin and CJ Wilcox played together, both in experience and projection.

In the small forward position, Coach Vogel directly brought Wu Rui to the court to play in the second quarter!

"That No. 0 is Michael Wu, the newcomer called Russell!"

"Oh my God, he looks polite, but I didn't expect him to be a young man with personality!"

Seeing Wu Rui on the stage, many American fans who watched the game on TNT's official website expressed their opinions, to be honest, many of them were attracted by the title to watch the game, but Wu Rui didn't even catch a second of playing time in the first quarter, which really disappointed them.

Now, finally waiting for this young man who has let go of his wild words, the number of fans watching the game has even increased a little!

And Wu Rui's appearance did not disappoint all the fans who were waiting, the Magic team possessed the ball, DJ Augustin dribbled forward, and while traveling, he suddenly raised his hand and threw the basketball towards the basket!

Just when tens of thousands of fans in the court were wondering, on one side of the basket, No. 0 wearing the home jersey rose into the air, controlled the ball with both hands, and slammed into the basket!

“Dunk!”

"Relay in the air!"

On the commentary bench, O'Neal was even thinking about how to introduce Wu Rui, but this young player saved the big shark a lot of words: "I think this young Chinese player doesn't need me to introduce him, this dunk is enough to make everyone remember him!" ”

O'Neill said, straightening his voice:

"Michael Wu – the Orlando Magic's treasure in this year's draft!"
