"Coach, I know I'm not doing well."

However, before Coach Vogel could speak first, Wu Rui directly rushed to the front to admit his mistake: "When facing the pick-and-roll, my reaction was a beat slower, and when I was in Cleveland before, I also encountered the pick-and-roll tactics, and that time I handled it much better than this time." ”

"It's my own problem."

As he spoke, Wu Rui shook his head helplessly.

Indeed, as early as his first appearance, Wu Rui faced a Cleveland Cavaliers' blocking tactic, when he was blocked by Birdman Anderson, he took small steps and easily chased down Iman Shambaugh.

"No, it's not your problem, you've done a good job, and your positivity is enough to make up for it." However, Coach Vogel did not criticize Wu Rui for the defense this time, but pointed to Cousins on the court: "Look at what DeMarcus is doing." ”

With Vogel's instructions, Wu Rui's eyes also shifted to the court, this time it was the Sacramento Kings' offensive round, and Ty Lawson returned to the court to lead the team's offense at this time.

was beaten 10-0 by the opponent to overtake the score, which made Kings head coach Dave Jogel very dissatisfied, and he also kept shouting on the sidelines, asking the players to strengthen the transfer of the ball and try to find the best opportunity to shoot.

But it's a pity that the Magic at this time is not the soft appearance of the first quarter, whether it is Vucevic or Aaron Gordon or other players standing on the court, they are all full of fighting spirit, they are here to play!

Ty Lawson couldn't even get rid of DJ Augustine, so he reluctantly gave the ball to his teammate McLemore, who ran over to ask for the ball, who held the ball, glanced at his teammate's position, and then looked at the time.

"Watch out!"

At this moment, on the Magic bench, Vogel suddenly accentuated his tone and reminded Wu Rui beside him.

And Wu Rui, who also followed Vogel's meaning, did not look at McLemore, who was playing alone with the ball, but looked intently at DeMarcus Cousins, who was standing under the basket in the three-second zone at this time and stuck Vucevic!

Although the offensive focus on the court at this time was McLemore, who was hooded and single, in fact, the duel under the basket was more intense, and Vucevic took the lead in reaching out, wanting to drag the burly Cousins in front of him behind, but Cousins, who was already stuck in the position, did not give the opponent next to him a chance to resist at all.

Cousins, who had a full burst of strength in his legs and lower limbs, firmly defended his position under the basket!

“Duang！”

On the other side, McLemore's single shot was fruitless, but under the basket, Cousins, who completely grabbed the position, rose up at the right time, competed for the offensive rebound, made a rebound, and scored two more points!

The Kings finally broke the scoring drought and chased the score to 47:47, and the two sides were tied!

"What do you see?"

This round of offense ended with Cousins' second score, and Vogel was secretly dissatisfied with Vucevic's basket in his heart, but on the surface, he still asked Wu Rui beside him expressionlessly.

"DeMarcus' rebounding ability is really strong!"

After answering the head coach's question, Wu Rui couldn't help but hope: "If I can also have such a strong rebounding ability, I will definitely be able to get longer playing time!" ”

Of course, what Wu Rui didn't say was that this was just his own luxury.

"Do you know why DeMarcus was able to grab this rebound?" After listening to Wu Rui's answer, Vogel was obviously not satisfied, and he didn't want to waste time, so he simply continued: "He relied on his superior strength to get stuck under the basket in order to get the best position to grab rebounds." ”

"Michael, your bounce ability, we don't have to doubt it, in this game, your two rebounds are based on your unusual jumping." Vogel paused for a moment and glanced at Wu Rui's expression: "However, you must know that it was completely by virtue of the bouncing advantage, and it was taken by luck." ”

"If there's a center like DeMarcus who takes the lead, you're never going to grab a rebound."

What if there's a center like DeMarcus who can't even grab a rebound?

Vogel's words sounded repeatedly in Wu Rui's mind, looking at the court, the invincible Cousins under the basket, Wu Rui swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

At this time period, I only have the advantage of grabbing rebounds, and the coach does not let me play at this time, is it because of the presence of Cousins that his only advantage cannot be played?

"Michael, I think you can make a layup on DeMarcus' head, but that's just my expectation." Seeing Wu Rui, who always likes to chatter, fall into silence, Vogel was happy in his heart: "I hope that one day, you can not let me down." ”

Dropping this sentence, Vogel strode forward, his expression instantly angry, stood on the sidelines in three or two, and yelled at the players who almost made mistakes on the court, emphasizing that they should pay attention to the offensive rhythm.

was scolded by Coach Vogel like this, and the players on the Magic court instantly remembered that at the end of the first quarter, Coach Vogel was furious, and immediately cheered up again, and one by one became serious, and the offensive efficiency returned to the average level.

On the other hand, on the King's side, Cousins' strength alone is really limited, even if the All-Star center scores 20+6 data in the half, it is difficult to match the momentum of the Magic.

At halftime, the Magic were at 56:50 on their home court, leading by six points!

Returning to the locker room amid the cheers of the home fans, Vogel focused on analyzing a few points for Cousins and the Kings' offensive system, and then drew several sets of tactics on the tactical board, asking the players to accurately implement them on the court according to the predetermined situation.

"Lads, today's home game is going to make the streamers fly!"

Finally, a bowl of chicken soup was poured into the players, and Vogel's eyes fell on the thoughtful Wu Rui and nodded.

Of course, Coach Vogel's deployment at halftime was also very effective, at the beginning of the second half, Cousins was the king's tactical center, but the Magic team will defend most of Cousins' offense as the center one by one, and the enthusiasm is even better than in the second quarter!

Although Cousins's individual offense was still uncontrollable, once the king fell into the rhythm of singles, it also showed that the Magic's tactics worked, and the opponent fell into their rhythm!

In the end, under the premise of strictly implementing Coach Vogel's midfield deployment, the Magic players occasionally performed brilliantly, winning the opponent 108-97 on their home court and winning two consecutive wins in the season!

After the game, media reporters also threw questions to Magic's main player Serge Ibaka: "Where was the turning point in this game?" ”
