Chapter 18: High Jump or Rugby
"What's going on!"
Sitting in the commentary seat, the senior commentator from ESPN couldn't help but shout when he saw what was happening on the field!
"For the second time in a row, Wu grabbed a rebound on Will Courie Stein's head!" The commentator said, turning over the data at hand: "The big man in Sacramento must not have thought that after he lost his offensive rebounds, he didn't even belong to the defensive rebounds!" β
The shock of the commentator was also the surprise of the fans at the scene.
On the court, the young center of the Kings is 2.13 meters tall, and Wu Rui, who snatched the rebound ball on his head, looks like he is just two meters.
However, that's it, this rebound was still taken away by Wu Rui!
"Man, I take back what I just said, Asians who can play in the NBA are really not easy!"
In the stands, the magic fans who had complained about Wu Rui before instantly changed their attitude, and looking at the magic No. 0 on the field, he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "This kid is too special!" β
"Does he have a spring in his shoe?" His companion was also excited: "I think this is the highest Asian I've ever seen!" β
"No, man!" As soon as the fan finished speaking, the black man who was not optimistic about Wu Rui at the beginning interjected: "This is the rookie with the highest jump this year!" β
"Michael, you're there!"
Back on the court, Bismarck Biyombo came back to his senses after a short period of blindfolding, and his first reaction was to boast to Wu Rui, who grabbed the offensive rebound: "Why don't you guys go to the high jump competition, you are absolutely world-class!" β
"Actually, I started out as a high jumper, but I wasn't too challenging in that line, you know." As soon as he saw that his big brother began to joke, Wu Rui's mouth did not stop: "Basketball is still more challenging than high jump!" β
"Hahaha, you kid can really talk!"
Wu Rui's words also amused Ibaka, who happened to be passing by on the side, and patted Wu Rui's shoulder, this magic insider who was suppressed by Will Cory Stein, the shadow in his heart was illuminated by Wu Rui a lot!
What if you Will Cowry Stein can grab the board again, we have Michael Wu!
"Hey, hey, hey." Scratching his head, Wu Rui was a little embarrassed for a while, looked at his hands that grabbed the rebound, and then looked down at his explosive legs, Wu Rui clenched his fists tightly.
It's nice to have a pair of legs that can run and jump!
Thinking of this, Wu Rui no longer paused, and hurriedly followed Biyombo who returned to the backcourt, ready to defend!
βShitοΌ That kid wasn't a basketball player at all! On the King's side, Will Couri Stein, who was continuously robbed of rebounds by Wu Rui, was very unhappy: "He should go to the high jump competition of the Olympics, why should he come to play basketball?" β
"Alright, Will, calm down!"
Rudy Gay caught Will Courie Stein's baseline serve, and hurriedly comforted his young teammates, in fact, Gay also wanted to say why the guy on the other side who talked so much nonsense didn't go to play rugby!
That physique, that strength, and those explosive legs, you are a natural rugby player!
Of course, it's a little taller.
On the other side, the expression of Dave Jogle, the head coach of the Kings team, also changed a little, the team was originally smooth, and he was also very relieved, but the appearance of Wu Rui actually briefly made a trace of waves on the court that he didn't want to see!
Looking up at the score on the court at this time, the team was still in the lead, there were 45.6 seconds left in this quarter, Qiao Gee's heart was a little more stable, in his opinion, although Wu Rui's appearance made the team have some problems at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but looking at Wu Rui's stupid appearance, it is estimated that it is just a wonder soldier of the head coach of the Magic team.
And looking at Wu Rui's appearance of passing the ball with the ball, it is estimated that he has no scoring ability, as long as he gets through the first quarter and waits for Cousins to return to the court, this game is still nine out of ten.
The situation is indeed as Joggle thought, Rudy scoring arrow, since his back can't beat Wu Rui, then he shouted a block at the right time, with the help of Koufus's block, Guy got rid of Wu Rui's defense as he wished, and shot in the middle!
The basketball also entered the net when Wu Rui had just bypassed the block and blocked in front of Guy!
"The Kings played well on offense this time, the quality of the pick-and-roll was high, and Rudy Gay's touch was still very good." As the commentator spoke, his eyes fell on Wu Rui again: "But we can't turn a blind eye to Michael Wu's active defense, in my opinion, he is more suitable than Jeff Green to play Orlando's backup small forward!" β
The commentator's words are also what the fans present want to say, although Wu Rui did not defend against the blocking and demolition tactics this time, but at least the positivity is there, on the other hand, Jeff Green, the fans of the home team even want to trade him!
Of course, no matter how positive Wu Rui's performance is, his weakness in offense still has some impact on the overall offense of the Magic team, and Payton Jr.'s choice after breaking through the ball is invisibly one less, which also makes the Magic have a 4-5 phenomenon on the offensive end.
βDuangοΌβ
Seeing that there was not much time left to attack, Fournier, who caught the pass but had no room to shoot, glanced at his teammates, but the vacant position in front of him was only Wu Rui, who was put two steps away by Rudy Gay, and in desperation, he had to force his shot, and this ball was not unexpectedly missed!
The final offensive opportunity of the quarter was also in the hands of the Kings, who pressed the clock for a moment to run a tactic, but Ibaka's just-in-time defense broke their tactics.
With the red light on, the first quarter of the game between the two teams was declared over, and the Sacramento Kings led by eight points at 37-29 on the road!
Back on the bench, Wu Rui's mood was not very good, and his performance at the last moment made him very dissatisfied.
Wrapped in a towel, Wu Rui lowered his head and said nothing.
"Hey lads, something seems wrong with the atmosphere."
On the bench of the Magic, not only Wu Rui, but also the other players were not in a very good mood, the team was scored 37 points by the opponent in the first quarter, and they were still eight points behind, which really couldn't make them cheer up.
Looking at the players who were in a bad mood, Frank Vogel, who was always angry, laughed this time: "You must think that your performance is terrible? β
"Yes, I can tell you for sure that everyone's performance has been disastrous." Vogel said, pausing, "Except, of course, except for one person. β
