"Paul! Paul! Paul! ”

At the Bankers Living Arena in Indianapolis, the home Pacers fans cheered as team star Paul George high-fived his teammates before stepping to the free-throw line.

The big screen at the scene is still replaying everything that happened just now, Paul George used his skillful dribbling to make Wu Rui dizzy, and then there was a breakthrough layup by a striding meteor, Wu Rui persevered in chasing up, but gave George a great opportunity to make a foul, and in the end, he was beaten by the opponent to 2+1!

"The gap is obvious, Michael is still inexperienced in front of Paul George." As George stepped to the free-throw line, the commentator on the sidelines continued to analyze: "Although Michael prevented Russell Westbrook's triple-double in the last game, which should have been something worth mentioning, he played very badly today. ”

"To be honest, Michael hasn't even touched the ball on the offensive end once so far, which is enough to say something." Another commentator also shook his head at Wu Rui's performance: "Maybe Coach Frank Vogel should make a difference." ”

While the two commentators communicated with each other, Paul George on the free throw line took the opportunity to throw the ball out, without any suspense, the free throw hit steadily, and George successfully hit Wu Rui a 2+1!

"Toot!"

As the commentator analyzed, after George's free throw was over, the Magic really made a move, head coach Frank Vogel took the initiative to ask for a substitution, Aaron Gordon stood on the sidelines and pointed to Wu Rui on the court, obviously, to exchange with Magic No. 0.

Seeing that the golfer pointed to him, Wu Rui did not drag, nodded, and then lowered his head and retreated to the bench.

"Michael, look away, it's not a big deal."

As soon as Wu Rui sat down, Bismarck Biyombo comforted him: "It's Paul George on the other side, it's already very good to be able to stand with him, if it were me, I would have been nervous and couldn't stand still!" ”

At the beginning, seeing Coach Vogel replace Jeff Green and replace Wu Rui, Biyombo was worried about whether this young man would be dominated by the opposite star at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but Biyombo thought again and again, Wu Rui has faced this kind of questioning too many times, and every time it will surprise people, maybe this time there will be surprises.

But it turns out that Biyongbo thinks a lot, in the face of the absolute strength gap, Wu Rui is simply suppressed by the opposite star, whether it is the offensive end or the defensive end!

"Come on, Bismarck, don't say that again." was comforted by Biyombo, and Wu Rui gradually raised his head: "But seriously, the taste of being beaten up is really uncomfortable." ”

"I thought I could defend even one shot, but I didn't succeed once."

"No, Michael, you made a defense, Paul George missed a shot!" Seeing that Wu Rui was a little frustrated, Biyongbo hurriedly added a sentence.

"Hey buddy, I just turned around when Paul George made the shot, he couldn't make the shot, it had nothing to do with my defense." When Biyongbo mentioned this round, Wu Rui was even more helpless: "This is the gap in strength." ”

The gap between the league's top 20 players and the second-round pick!

Wu Rui clearly realized the gap between himself and the top level of the NBA, and his pre-game rhetoric was a joke in retrospect.

Thinking about this, Wu Rui took the towel handed by his teammates, wiped his forehead, and then focused on the court, although Coach Vogel had not spoken to Wu Rui since he replaced him, but Wu Rui knew that his performance must have disappointed the head coach.

Coach Vogel sent himself, definitely not to let himself be blown up by Paul George.

While looking at Paul George who continued to play singles on the court, Wu Rui also paid attention to some of the movements of Aaron Gordon who was opposite him, and when facing his teammates, Paul George was obviously not as free as he was when he was facing himself.

Wu Rui needs to learn some defensive skills from Aaron Gordon.

Although Gordon is not a player known for his defense, but with his physical fitness and his agility, his defense is indeed not bad, but Paul George found the feeling of offense step by step when he singled Wu Rui, once a player of this level enters the state, offense basically has nothing to do with defense, and whether the shot can be scored or not, it only depends on his own feeling at this time!

Obviously, George's hand today – outstanding!

"Paul George faced Aaron Gordon and took a step from the free throw line to pull out his hand, and this shot... Hit! The commentator on the sidelines was in high spirits: "Unbelievable, this is Paul's 11th point in the first quarter!" ”

Eleven points in a single quarter, George completely dominated the second half of the first quarter, which also helped the Pacers who were originally in a backward situation to breathe a sigh of relief, and at the end of the first quarter, the Pacers temporarily 21:26, 5 points behind the opponent!

In the rematch, out of physical considerations, Nate McMillan replaced Paul George and configured a second lineup, and the Magic side also started the second quarter with a second lineup.

It's just that unlike in the past, Vogel did not send Wu Rui this time, but let Jeff Green lead the second team to play.

Green did not disappoint Vogel either, the former Thunder junior who scored six points on a burst shot, and the two teams gradually fell into a stalemate.

It's just that the balance of all this was broken in an instant, and as Paul George, Jeff Teague and Monta Ellis re-entered the game, the Pacers' offense gradually became ferocious, and the Magic completely lost the fighting spirit they had at the beginning, and the situation gradually turned around!

Finally, with five and a half minutes left in the third quarter, Monta Ellis burst to the interior and hit a top layup to help the Pacers 73:72 and overtake the away Orlando Magic!

At this point, the Pacers finally took the situation into their own hands, and although Frank Vogel called a timeout in time, it was too late, and the difference in strength between the two teams was still very obvious.

In the end, in the enthusiastic cheers of the home fans, Paul George cut his own 29 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, leading the team to defeat the opponent on his home court!

"98:91, the Indiana Pacers won this very tough game on their home court!"

At the end of the game, the commentator on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief: "A good reversal is really for all the fans to earn back their ticket fees." ”

The excited shouts of the Pacers fans drowned out the voice of the commentator, and at the same time, Wu Rui didn't say a word, lowered his head, and took the lead in walking back to the locker room.
