Chapter 41: Wu Rui's Choice
"Michael, look at the faces of these fans, they didn't pay for tickets to come to see us at all!"
Behind Wu Rui, Damyan Rudez, who didn't even bother to warm up, said a little unhappily, he didn't think that at this time in the second quarter, it would be his turn to play, because Rudez only averaged 3.3 points per game in his NBA career.
"That's right, what they want to see is Nikolai and Aron, and we're like a bunch of clowns right now." Like Wu Rui, Stephen Zimmerman, a young interior player who was selected by the Magic in the second round this year, did not look good: "This feels really bad! ”
"Come on, Stephen, everybody knows you're ready to play." The teammates were very frustrated one by one, but it did not affect Wu Rui's mood at all, after sorting out the jersey, he walked to Zimmerman, who was in the same class, and patted his teammates on the shoulder: "Come, man, everyone is waiting for you to show the effect of training!" ”
"Michael, the coach only let us play to stimulate the main players." Zimmerman said that he was very frustrated, thinking that he had sweated in the training gym in order to be able to play, only to make his debut in this situation, and his heart was half cold: "Seriously, I don't even want to touch the ball!" ”
"You can fool everyone, but you can't fool me."
Zimmerman's speech, just like the state of the Magic team at this time, wanted to give up the game, but Wu Rui couldn't allow such a thing to happen, watching the referee on the field urging the players to come on, he quickly pulled Zimmerman to the court, and whispered in the ear of his teammates: "Your efforts, everyone knows, you are the one who should not give up!" ”
After saying this, Wu Rui glanced at Zimmerman again, and the meaning was very simple - come on!
To be honest, Wu Rui doesn't know much about his teammates who are on the court at this time, because except for Hezonia, most of them are fringe players who are not even rotation players, but only Stephen Zimmerman, Wu Rui knows him the most.
Because this is the earliest young man to arrive at the magic training hall every day outside of Wu Rui, he may not sweat as much in the training hall as Wu Rui, but Wu Rui can also feel the strength of his serious efforts.
People who work hard will not be bad, this is also the truth that Wu Rui has always believed!
After comforting his teammates, Wu Rui rushed to the frontcourt, and he was opposed to Zach LaVine, the dunk king who played eye-catching in the first quarter.
Standing next to Laven, Wu Rui's little heart was pounding non-stop, and his mouth was naturally not idle: "Hey, Zack, you are jumping really high!" ”
"There must be a mysterious power in your legs!" Wu Rui said, his eyes unconsciously looked at LaVine's lower body, staring straight at the legs of the Xinke Dunk King.
"Oh, boy, what are you doing here?" Taken aback by Wu Rui's actions, LaVine subconsciously took a step back: "It's unbelievable that Coach Frank Vogel would replace such a player." ”
As an NBA player, LaVine knows a little bit about the head coaches of each team, among them, Magic head coach Vogel, as an excellent leader who has led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals in a row, LaVine is very interested in his lineup.
This also led to the fact that after Wu Rui appeared on the stage, LaVine did not relax his vigilance, but he didn't expect that the player replaced by Vogel was actually such a person with a bad taste!
"Hey, is it great to have a good pair of legs?" But Laven's words made Wu Rui's face change, he pointed to the upper edge of the basket in front of him, and asked Laven: "Do you see the box behind the basket?" ”
"What's the point of that?" Laven was helpless by Wu Rui's inexplicable speech, he didn't know what Wu Rui wanted to express.
Wu Rui didn't answer Laven, but returned the other party with a weird smile, which made LaVine even more confused.
While the two were talking, the basketball was also under the control of CJ Watson and advanced through the half, but Watson was a bit similar to Rudez, he didn't think he would play at this time, he even felt that he couldn't play at all in this game!
At this time, the ducks are generally on the court, and Watson gives himself a simple goal - dribble through the half court and then pass the ball.
In fact, he did the same, and as soon as he held the ball past half court, Watson quickly passed the ball to Mario Hezonia, the No. 5 pick in 15 years, and he was the most sure to score in the Magic lineup at the moment.
It's just that it's not a fuel-efficient lamp to defend him, and Hezonia failed to get rid of it several times, and finally forced a shot, and the trajectory of the basketball has shifted significantly.
"Mario Hezonia is still a little bit behind, his rhythm is completely out of order, and this goal is impossible to score."
As soon as the commentator on the sidelines finished speaking, the basketball smashed on the back edge of the basket, and it was about to bounce out diagonally: "The Orlando Magic is completely messed up, the rebounding ball will be in the hands of the Timberwolves, this is a fast break... Wait a minute! ”
Just when the commentator was about to announce the death penalty to Magic, Wu Rui, who was wearing the Magic No. 0 jersey, rushed towards the basket while the basketball deviated from the track, and when he reached the basket, the basketball happened to jump out of the frame!
"Bang!"
Then, at the moment when the shot turned into a rebound, Wu Rui bent his knees, jumped up one step faster than the Timberwolves' inner line Cole Aldridge, raised his hands high, and hugged the ball directly in the air!
"Michael, pass it on!"
Seeing that Wu Rui grabbed the rebound in the front court again, Hezonia, who was still floating outside, hurriedly shouted at Wu Rui.
After watching so many games, he also understands Wu Rui's style of play, although Wu Rui's rebounding talent is very good, but the offensive means are almost zero, after grabbing the frontcourt rebound, he will only pass back to his teammates, as the only scoring point in this lineup, Hezonia feels that this ball must take the initiative to find Wu Rui.
Hezonia's idea is the same as everyone's idea, and even the narrator said almost the same thing as Hezonia's idea.
However, just the next second when Wu Rui grabbed the rebound and just landed, he made a completely different choice from what everyone imagined!
Magic No. 0, the moment he landed with the ball, his knees sank again, and then, like stepping on a spring, he plucked onions on dry land, jumped high, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand against the falling Timberwolves backup center Kerr Aldridge!
"Hum—"
In an instant, the entire Amway Arena in Orlando fell silent, and the commentators on the sidelines were half a beat slow, and they didn't react until the referee blew the whistle.
"Michael Wu... Spacer Cole Aldridge, meanwhile... Cause a foul! ”
