Chapter 81: Influence and Change
"Another way of training?"
Vogel looked at Wu Rui's appearance and became interested: "If you can, I think you should practice this set first." ”
"Although time is limited, you are in a hurry, but you must also know that people's energy is limited, although you are still very young, but too much overdraft will eventually be counterproductive."
Wu Rui's ability to think of combining the two types of training really surprised Vogel, which fully reflects how much Wu Rui wants to improve, but in the same way, Vogel also knows the truth that greed can't chew too much.
He thinks it's better not to help the seedlings grow.
On the other side, Wu Rui, who was originally excited to perform, was dismayed by Vogel's refusal.
He also understands the reason why he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, but he is too weak now, and his skills will not improve by leaps and bounds in a day or two, and the help he provides to the team is really limited.
On the night he returned to Orlando from Indianapolis, Wu Rui was still thinking that in the online novels he read in his previous life, the protagonists who traveled through could always get such and such systems, and he also wanted those protagonists to get their own plug-in systems.
It's a pity that until the plane landed, Wu Rui couldn't wait for his own system to arrive.
In desperation, he could only look for the training videos of the players on the Internet, and then combine his current situation to come up with a few sets of training methods that seem useful.
Before it was too bright, Wu Rui threw himself into the training hall, temporarily put aside the shooting training that must be practiced every day, and tried the training he had figured out at night one by one.
Wu Rui, who was originally recognized by the head coach and was a little complacent, was splashed back to reality by Vogel's words, and since the head coach said so, he had no choice but to do it.
Do the most basic training such as projection and dribbling first, and wait until later.
After all, it's only been half a month since I was reborn, and it's still very early!
Here, Wu Rui actively devoted himself to training, and on the other side, Vogel did not have such idle time, and the team experienced three consecutive defeats before the start of the game and three consecutive wins after three consecutive defeats, and then entered a state of five or five wins after losing and winning.
Although the record is 5 wins and 6 losses, which is not very bad, in reality, this is not what a stable team should be.
Coupled with the fact that the team has just lost away from home, Frank Vogel feels the team may need to make some changes.
On November 16, U.S. time, the familiar Amway Arena in Orlando, the attendance at home was not very high, but even so, the two commentators from TNT on the sidelines were still full of passion.
"The Orlando Magic, who are playing at home this time, just suffered a defeat in Indiana in the last game, and to be honest, the Orlando Magic was only one step away from victory in the last game." The commentator looked back on the previous game and said, "Until the first half of the third quarter, they were the leading side!" ”
"That's right, but that's the difference in strength, there's a Paul George between the Magic and the Pacers." Another commentator changed his words: "In this regard, a few days ago, a fan left a message on my social network: Will Michael Wu be the 'Paul George' of the Magic team? ”
"That's a question, I think, after the last game, and it was answered."
"Paul George scored consecutive points against Michael Wu, and Michael was like a kid who had just learned to play in front of Paul, and he didn't even touch the ball!"
The commentator's rhetoric is very direct, but it is indeed a situation reflected in the last game, compared to the real star, Wu Rui is obviously so powerless.
And due to the poor performance in the last game, Wu Rui even disappeared without a trace from the player's hot search list, competitive sports, real strength is what speaks, and players without strength will eventually be killed on the beach by the waves.
The more direct impact of the last game was even related to the Magic's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Magic are not very strong opponents today, although they have the prestigious super power forward Anthony Davis, but the 2-9 record so far this season is fundamentally different from what everyone expected at the beginning of the season.
In addition, in the last game against the Celtics, Davis, who scored 25 points and 16 rebounds, missed today's game against the Magic due to injury, so before the game, both the media and fans agreed that this game would be a one-sided game.
The course of the game also seems to verify everyone's point of view, without the Pelicans after the thick eyebrows, the intensity has dropped by more than a star and a half, and in the first quarter when both sides have not yet found their feelings, they still have the power to fight with the Magic for the time being, 21:19, only two points behind.
But at the beginning of the second quarter, the impact of the lack of backbone gradually appeared, and in a single quarter of the game, the Pelicans let the Magic score 31 points, while they only scored 21 points, and lost to the opponent by 10 points in a single quarter!
At halftime, the Pelicans went into the halftime with a 12-point deficit.
In the second half, the Magic's style of play was more solid, and the Pelicans simply couldn't find a way to parry, although in the early stages of the fourth quarter, Terrence Jones, who started in place of Davis, who was out of the game due to injury, played a wonderful individual offense, but it didn't help.
In the end, the Orlando Magic unsurprisingly defeated the visiting New Orleans Pelicans 89-82 on their home court, rewriting their opponent's record to 2-10 and tying their own record to 6-6.
Nikola Vucevic scored an efficient 10+14, Sergi Ibaka got 16+8, and the Magic even had six people score double-doubles!
Everything in this game seems so logical, except for Wu Rui, who had occasional opportunities to play before, he actually failed to play for a minute in this game!
"Hey Coach Frank, first of all, congratulations on winning on your home turf and getting back to 50 percent?"
After the game, reporters on the sidelines also directly approached Magic head coach Vogel to start his own interview.
'It's great, but it's not our ultimate goal yet, and the players will work towards that ultimate goal.'
Vogel's answer was decent, and the reporter who interviewed him also nodded slightly: "So Coach Frank, everyone knows that Michael Wu, the second-round rookie selected by the team this summer, has been on the cusp recently, why didn't Michael play in this game?" ”
"May I ask if Michael's failure to play is related to the last game against Paul George?"
The reporter on the sidelines asked, handed the microphone to Vogel's mouth, and the camera focused!
