Chapter 373: The Law (II)
Wang Lei watched the game quietly in his seat, at this time the game had been played for three minutes and twenty seconds, but the runners' hand style was very bad today, and many shots from the outside line were bounced out of the basket, and the basket in the Verizon Center Arena was like adding a lid to the away team.
Washington Wizards center Peter Mawakhovski finally had a good time today, and he grabbed almost every point in the opening period.
11-2, the Wizards got off to a better start at home.
Many Runners fans who watched the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV were puzzled at this time, and they even suspected that what they saw was not the real Runners, because the team on the field at this time did not have the demeanor shown by the previous Runners.
Although the three-point shooting was made, the five players made six three-point shots and none of them hit, and Turgun's shot also bounced off the basket, relying only on Erwin's basket to pick up a missing rebound to score two points.
Other than that, the entire team of runners seemed to be useless, and they didn't even hit the best fast break.
The Wizards exposed their vulnerabilities in the first round of offense and defense, but the Runners' defensive strategy today is really too peculiar, so peculiar that many people can't understand it, it is the Poles who need to be trapped, but the Runners just let the rookie Erwin defend alone.
James Hart, who was obviously on the weak side, didn't show any intention to attack, but the Runners treated him like a big enemy.
With three minutes and forty seconds played, Runners rookie Elvin Butler finally made a successful defense by knocking down the basketball that Wizards center Peter had exposed when he turned around and jumper.
The originally tepid Runners instantly raised their speed to the top gear, and except for Elvin Butler, who was lagging behind, the other four players rushed to the Wizards' half like arrows.
The only points guards Harris and James Hart can keep up with that kind of pace, but neither of them can help with the Runners' high-speed fast break.
Running high speed with the ball, Turgun handled the ball in what many professionals considered to be the most irrational way he shot a three-pointer when he was half a meter from the three-point line, and his body was even leaning forward.
This is Turgun's persistence, his incomparable confidence in his three-point shot, although this confidence is a double-edged sword, but in the body of Turgun, who has an amazing sense of the ball, this confidence has created his unreasonable shooting style and choice.
The basketball slid through a beautiful arc and crashed into the net, and the Runners finally hit their seventh three-point shot.
This unreasonable three-point shot finally stimulated the emotions of some players on the Wizards, especially James Hart, who is also a young man, no matter how stable this "best champion in history" of the young old city is, he will inevitably have a little desire to win at this time.
As Wang Lei expected, James Hart began to shoot in the next attack.
As the starting point guard who played for the second pair for three full years, Harris passed the ball directly to James Hart after advancing to the front court with the ball, although Harris is considered a veteran of the team, but he is a player who is content with the status quo, he will not deliberately embarrass James because he is a rookie, and there is no one on the Wizards team who dares not to pass the ball to James who has already asked for the ball.
James Hart received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the Runners half court and stood still, and the Runners players in front of him immediately switched to the zone defense, and the Runners' defensive power forward Toby Sevig put James Hart two more steps to defend, which was requested by Wang Lei in the closed training before the game, let James Hart go to the outside to shoot, and he could not have any chance to break through to the inside basket position.
The Runners' defense has fueled James Hart's desire to win, and although he has a good heart, he is also a very proud guy at heart, and he will never tolerate this disdain from the Runners.
James Hart, who took the ball outside the three-point line, started directly to break through inside, but the Runners' regional joint defense was very well done, and almost the first two players who formed a joint defense immediately blocked James's breakthrough route.
James is indeed the "best champion of all time", and he relied on his strong physical fitness to squeeze out the block of Toby Sevig and Sallich combined.
But then James paid the price for his tough break, and the moment he squeezed through the Runners' players to "close the door", he found that the road in front of him was completely blocked.
Elvin Butler in the basket did not hesitate to give up the defense against the Poles and chose to pack James with three men.
The young James completely lost all the lines of travel and passing this time, and more importantly, he couldn't stop at this time, he could only force his hand with Elvin Butler in front of him.
Elvin Butler, who is two meters and eight meters taller, finally raised his eyebrows this time and blocked James Hart with the ball.
Having lost his speed, James Hart was simply not strong enough to force his way through the trio's pack, he was always too young.
Elvin Butler's blocked ball was picked up by a shrewd Turgon, who made another fast-break three-pointer in the eyes of everyone on the Wizards.
In the previous twelve games, no matter how strong the opposing team was a strong interior player, James Hart could be tough against them to complete shots and even dunk, this ability to defy the sky made everyone on the Wizards team ecstatic, but now James Hart has been taken down by an unknown rookie, and it is this rather humiliating block, which has to surprise the Wizards.
11-8, the Runners almost caught up with the score in less than two minutes.
Wang Lei on the sidelines smiled slightly, he knew that the "rules" he formulated had finally worked.
The development of the NBA in this time and space has always been full of stars, in different eras, with many different stars, but no star has ever completed the domination of the league.
And in the earth's time and space, even the otaku who is in the house has probably heard of the name of "basketball god", which is a star who has completely made the NBA of the earth's time and space popular all over the world.
However, even if he is as strong as Jordan, he has experienced a lot of hardships, and I believe that the most unforgettable thing for Jordan is probably the Detroit "bad boy" army that was eliminated from the late 80s to the 90s.
And Chuck Daley, the head coach of the Pistons team that once kept Jordan out of the Finals, formulated a rule specifically for Jordan, which is the famous "Jordan's Rule".
Wang Lei just borrowed a little from the "Jordan Rule", his players were not the "bad boy army" in the time and space of the earth, but this very targeted "Jordan Rule" does have a very big effect on this kind of top stars, especially this kind of star with huge prestige.
