From the start of the counterattack to Blair's empty dunk, the Runners' attack took only six seconds, and the whole offense was completed in one go, and the two crosses of Turgun and Salish completely mobilized the Trail Blazers' defense, although the Trail Blazers were already in good shape, but they still had no way to react in the face of such an attack.

I have to say that this fast attack of the Runners is really a slap in the face, the Trail Blazers were proud for less than a second, and then they were slapped hard by the Runners.

As the game continued, Trail Blazers head coach Lawrence motioned to his players on the sidelines to pay attention to the midfield, and he has now changed his mind a little, and this new team of runners does not seem to be as easy to deal with as expected.

Wang Lei sat quietly on the sidelines and watched the game, his requirements for players have always been more free, he didn't want his players to be rigid on the field in accordance with their own tactical requirements to play, Wang Lei hoped that his players could flexibly control the rhythm of the game, so before the start of the game, Wang Lei only set the general direction for the players, and did not formulate specific tactical rules.

After the Trail Blazers advanced to the frontcourt, it was still an interior offense, Stiles immediately returned to the outside after encountering Turgon's bag, and the Trail Blazers' outside point guard sent a wonderful pass, and his teammates relied on Stiles' smooth cover in the bottom corner to calmly hit a big two-pointer.

The Trail Blazers are significantly stronger than the Runners' opponents in the preseason, their tactics are executed with precision, and most importantly, their attitude to the game is more serious.

The opponent guaranteed the success rate of the attack, and this time they retreated very quickly, and Turgun did not fight back again, but entered a positional battle.

Erwin pulled away high and Salish landed in the bottom corner of the weak side, and Turgun passed the ball to Blair in the low post to force the opposition to the shooting guard.

Blair turned and forced a kill and equalized with two free throws.

After two rounds of temptation, the two sides began to fight directly.

The Trail Blazers are still a steady and steady interior offense, and their combination of inside and outside is also very good, and the players are relatively clear-headed, and there is no phenomenon of dragging two or three people to play hard.

The Runners' interior defense is indeed weak, Erwin's lack of height and weight, coupled with his lack of experience, is simply unable to resist Stiles' offense, and Toby Sevig, who started the game, although he has good defensive awareness and rebounding is also guaranteed, but due to his personal ability, he still can't make up for the team's defensive shortcomings.

As the brains of the team, Turgun was thinking carefully about whether to speed up the pace of the team, because it seemed that the Runners were at a certain disadvantage right now.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Runners didn't play the sharp and fluid offense of the preseason, but were suppressed by the Trail Blazers, who trailed the Trail Blazers by three points 13-16.

Trail Blazers head coach Lawrence returned to the bench and felt like the team was pretty much in control of the situation, and the young team was going to pay the price for their youth.

Wang Lei did not call a timeout, but instead replaced the tallest Elwin and replaced the "real rich second generation" pitcher Stephen Chambers.

After seeing Wang Lei's substitution, Turgun understood what the coach meant, and he gestured to his teammates, and everyone understood that a good show was about to be staged.

All of a sudden, the Runners began to pick up speed, and Turgun almost immediately increased the team's speed from thirty to one hundred and thirty, and the whole team began to work on the ground at once.

Turgun stepped up to the frontcourt, almost ignoring the Trail Blazers' point guard's close defense and shooting a three-pointer.

The Trail Blazers were clearly ill-prepared for the change, and Turgun scored a pinpoint three-pointer to help the Runners equalize.

Next, although the Trail Blazers relied on Stiles' personal strong attack to make two plus one, but before they could settle down to defend, the Runners' Salich also made a three-point shot between the marches, and the score was equalized again.

After being hit by a three-point shot twice in a row, Lawrence had to get up again to remind his players to watch out for outside pressing.

Next, the Trail Blazers' offense was finally frustrated, and the Runners directly gave up the outside defense and replaced it with a contracted joint defense, looking like they had the ability to shoot me.

The Trail Blazers' perimeter players were stimulated to shoot a three-point shot, and the Runners grabbed the rebound and immediately counterattacked.

Blair, who rushed to the front, encountered the Trail Blazers after hitting the inside, he could have used his individual ability to be hard, maybe he could play two plus one, but Blair directly passed the ball back into the hands of Turgun on the outside, and Turgun didn't wait for the Trail Blazers point guard to hit a three-point shot directly.

A three-point rain made the Trail Blazers players start to get nervous, and although there are a lot of shooters in the league now, it is still rare for a team like the Runners to shoot three-pointers.

Under the pressure of three points, the Trail Blazers began to actively expand their defense to the perimeter.

Because the Runners took the initiative to raise the tempo, the Trail Blazers also tried to suppress the tempo again, but unfortunately they encountered the Runners' very "shameless" shrink defense, and in the Western Conference semifinals last season, the Trail Blazers lost to the Los Angeles Lakers, who also used this tactic.

Now the Runners are using this tactic in the same way, and the Trail Blazers are missing their own strongest interior Brent, which makes the head coach and players of the Trail Blazers even more irritable.

Under the mood fluctuations, the Trail Blazers began to unconsciously follow the rhythm of the Runners to play, and the two sides went back and forth, and the game was extremely lively.

But in this lively atmosphere, the runners unknowingly widened the difference between the two teams.

It wasn't until the end of the first quarter that the Trail Blazers realized they were trailing the Runners by as many as nine points, and the nameless Dongfang Xiazi, who had played for the Trail Blazers, scored 14 points in the second half of the first quarter, including four of four three-pointers.

Including the five points that Turgun scored in the first half of the first quarter, he scored 19 points in a single quarter, which is definitely rare among sophomores and rookies.

Throughout the first quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 40 points with a roar, and the Trail Blazers, who are good at defense, couldn't withstand the Runners' fast attack, which made the Trail Blazers head coach Lawrence, who was sitting on the sidelines, nervous again.
