Chapter 458: Western Decision (7)

The running and bombardment of the runners is characterized by a change of pace, rather than relying on complicated organization.

In the attack, Turgun, Salish and Blair form a relatively stable triangle, and each attack is as simple and efficient as possible, and the pass is generally not more than four times.

When Wang Lei first took control of the Runners, he once asked the team to play a game that limited the offensive time, from the first fifteen seconds to the next ten seconds, and even let the players play eight seconds of the limited offensive time game.

With such a foundation, the players of the Runners have become accustomed to thinking in the Runners, and they do not stop moving their hands and feet while thinking.

In Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers, the Runners started the game with the most efficient offense they were used to.

The Lakers did make some adjustments to their defense before this game, in the case of running and bombing offense is basically ineffective, Van Lauderway can only find a way to limit the opponent from the defense, he asked the players to test the referee's penalty scale after the game starts, and then appropriately adjust the team's defensive intensity according to the situation, but Van Lauderway did not expect the Runners' offense to give the Lakers a chance to foul.

The defense can't be defended, and the Lakers can only strengthen their offense.

Stelle Carter was very deep, but when he turned to dunk, he was met by Blair, who was coming from the defense.

As the captain of the team, Blair actually did a very good job, he not only took the initiative to give up power in the offense, but also did his due diligence in defense, and for the championship, Blair was willing to give up everything that was not important.

Stelli Carter leaned back as much as he could, but he underestimated a desire for a championship, and the 31-year-old Blair flew up like an eagle and directly blocked Stelle Carter's dunk.

This brilliant block sent the entire Staples into an exclamation.

But after the exclamation, a series of boos followed.

However, in the midst of the boos of the Lakers fans, the Runners have completed a super fast break with only two passes and no more than five seconds.

After the Lakers' interior core dunk was blocked, the basketball fell right in front of Turgon, who didn't turn around when he received the ball, and threw the ball back with one hand.

The Lakers players didn't even react, and the Runners already had three players rush past halfcourt.

Salehi, who rushed to the front, did not score a layup or dunk after catching up with the basketball, but instead threw the ball directly to the rebound after dribbling into the Lakers' three-point line.

Behind Sallich, Blair, who had just completed the block, had already arrived, although his thirty-one-year-old body had already shown signs of decline, but the captain of the Runners, who also participated in the slam dunk contest when he debuted, was talking about juvenile madness at this time, he grabbed the basketball that bounced back from the rebound in his hand, and then held the ball in one hand and swung his arm into the loop.

The basketball was smashed into the basket by Blair, as if it were smashed into the hearts of Lakers players and fans.

From his own basket to the opponent's basket, from the block to the one-arm big loop dunk, Blair's passionate roar silenced the entire Staples, and no one dared to boo anymore.

Wang Lei also raised his arms on the sidelines to cheer for Blair's wonderful performance, this is the most attractive thing about basketball, and the passionate scene will make people forget all their troubles.

At the same time, surrounded by Lakers fans, Ma Dongmei, who was still tall, also cheered for her husband's wonderful performance without hesitation, and she also came to Los Angeles to watch her husband's game.

Van Lauderway called a timeout after the Lakers sent the ball from the baseline, knowing that if the situation was allowed to develop like this, the rest of the game would not be played.

Stopped so quickly by the Runners, there were sporadic boos in some corners of Staples, but the boos were directed solely at the home team.

The Lakers did have a bit of an out-of-fit, they were suppressed by their opponents on both ends of the floor, which had to make the home fans feel a little unhappy, and they came to Staples hoping to see a home team win.

After the timeout, the Lakers once again stepped up their defense, and their defense began to expand as a last resort.

Offensively, the Lakers' interior line is no longer aggressive, but their outside players have begun to strengthen their breakthroughs, using interior players as axes to find suitable shots or pass gaps.

The Lakers' changes have stabilized their situation a bit, but the Lakers don't have a good way to take the Runners defensively.

After the Lakers' defense expanded, Turgun consciously began to feed Elvin the ball.

Erwin's growth this season has been noticeable, and he is getting a lot bigger than he was when he first entered the league.

In addition, Irwin's shooting is becoming more and more threatening, although the range has not yet reached beyond the three-point line, but at the top of the arc and two 45-degree angles, Irwin's high-pitched shooting is still very threatening.

After feeding the ball to Erwin, the Runners knew what to do next, with Turgun and Salish running to a 45-degree angle, while Toby Sevig and Blair began to run back.

The Runners' running position can open up space for Irwin's shots, and if the opponent follows Irwin to the high post inside, then Blair and Toby Cervig's counterrun will directly threaten the basket.

The Lakers have no way to deal with this kind of layered offense, and their current team transformation is still incomplete, and the projection ability of the perimeter players has improved greatly, but their perimeter defense has always had a big problem.

Halfway through the first quarter, the score was tied at 19-14, and the Runners had a five-point lead over the Lakers at this point.

Wang Lei began to rotate in advance at this time, although he only played half a quarter, Wang Lei knew how much physical exertion the runners players had, so he replaced Blair and Toby Sevig with Stephen Chambers and John Claes.

After the rotation, Turgun surrendered possession and began to play off-ball tactics, while Sallich, who had the ball, began to play pick-and-roll with John Claes, threatening the opposition's defense with his serpentine breakaway and three-point shooting.

The Runners made changes, and the Lakers had to adapt.

Van Lauderway began to consciously substitute players with defensive problems, and he knew that the team would have to defend well before they could talk about the next games.
