Elvin Butler walked back to the bench and took a sports drink from his teammate, and before he could catch his breath, Erwin drained the drink in one go, feeling very thirsty indeed.

As the first quarter drew to a close, Elvin Butler played almost as hard as he could, and it was his agile movement that ensured the team's defensive success.

That's right, it is the success, although the Polish center of the Wizards, Peter Mawakhovski, is estimated to score 60 points a game if he plays Erwin alone, but Wang Lei's "Jordan's Rule" tactics borrowed from the earth's time and space successfully stimulated James Hart's competitiveness, and the seed of pride in the heart of this young man who came to the league with a halo has already sprouted and blossomed, and now the "special treatment" of the Runners makes James Hart desperately want to prove himself.

James Hart, who has emotions, began to fight alone, and this is when the role of Elvin Butler is reflected, although I have to admit that James Hart is no different from a savage in the eyes of the Runners' players on the court, but even if James breaks through the Runners' perimeter defense, he has no way to continue to attack under the supplemental defense of Elvin Butler.

Erwin is really not outstanding in various individual abilities, but he has a very flexible movement speed, after all, he is only two meters and eight meters tall, plus Erwin has hit two hundred and forty-five pounds, after James Hart lost his speed advantage, Elvin Butler, a little-known rookie, gave the "best of all time" a good demonstration of the true role of some blue-collar players.

The Wizards' offense began to fall into a slump after James started playing singles, the operation of the whole team stopped, and even the defense had a lot of problems, the players are also people, they also have their own emotions, watching the proud James waste opportunities again and again, many people are inevitably resentful, so compared to the beginning of the game, after entering the second half of the first quarter, the Wizards' defense became more and more scattered.

From an 11-2 surge in the opening game to an eight-point deficit at the end of the first quarter, Wizards head coach Santos had to replace James Hart, who had completely pumped his brain, after enduring and enduring.

Wang Lei's side also rotated for the first time, except for Turgun and Toby Sevig who continued to be on the field, the other players all went off the court to rest, although James was a variety of strong attacks, but this also made the runners players consume a lot of physical strength, especially Erwin who made up for the defense everywhere.

At the end of the first quarter, the Runners led the Wizards by nine points, 31-22.

The Runners didn't feel good today, and even Turgun was quite inaccurate, compared to his previous three-point shooting rate, his shooting rate today was less than 60%, which sounds like a good thing, but you must know that in many previous games, Turgun has maintained a three-point shooting rate of nearly 70%.

Wang Lei is still satisfied with the performance of the players in the first quarter, although the players did not feel good today, but they did a very good job in the implementation of the "law", which not only made James Hart fall into the quagmire and couldn't extricate himself, but also made the entire Wizards team have emotional problems, which is what Wang Lei values the most.

However, the game has only been played for one section, Wang Lei does not dare to have the slightest carelessness, no one dares to guarantee that a talented star like James will not explode instantly, for this champion with a halo, Wang Lei also knows its ability, if James figured it out in the next game, and then use the so-called "law" of the Runners to attract defense, and then pass the ball to let the Wizards attack, then the next game is estimated that the Runners are not very easy to play.

However, in Wang Lei's subconscious, he thinks that if James Hart has always maintained this kind of personal offensive play, maybe the future achievements will be greater, think about Jordan in the time and space of the earth, if it were not for the three-year suppression of the Pistons that year, maybe Jordan would not be able to achieve the great cause of six crowns in the future.

A player who really wants to be great is basically less likely to succeed if not paranoid.

At the start of the second quarter, the Wizards switched to a rotational lineup, but they kept John Larson on the court.

John Larson's presence in the first quarter of the game is not high, although he is also two meters tall and one three, but as one of the Dallas twin towers that year, John Larson is more of a countermeasure, he is better at holding the ball and assisting, and has an extremely stable mid-range shot, but the first quarter of the game is basically James is fighting with his emotions, so John Larson is very low-key.

Of course, he has to keep a low profile now, after this wave of "friend wife" time, John Larson's reputation has been greatly affected, although North America is more open, but John Larson, who wants to go further in the future, must keep a low profile for a period of time to ensure that no one will often talk about the previous things in the future.

With John Larson on the floor, the Wizards' rotation is playing very well, and their offense revolves around John Larson on the inside.

However, the Runners' rotation lineup is not ordinary, although the starters are now rested, but the "black hand" Francis played his role as a spoiler, and he and Robert Cornfuly formed a backcourt combination that constantly attacked the Wizards' basket.

After compressing the Wizards' defense, the Runners' outside shooters finally started to work.

"Little Man" Stephen Chambers has a sloppy defense and moves slowly, but he has a really good hand today, relying on the bursts of Francis and teammate Robert to hit consecutive three-pointers in the bottom corner to help the Runners suppress the Wizards.

Less than four minutes into the second quarter, the Wizards head coach brought James Hart back on the court, Santos didn't really want James to play, but James, who was completely emotional today, kept asking to play.

Santos is also a sensible person, and he knows that whether he can sit firmly in the position of head coach depends on James's face, so he can only replace James with angry eyes back on the court.

After James came on the court, Wang Lei also immediately made adjustments, although Turgun continued to rest, but Wang Lei replaced Erwin, Toby Sevig and Sallich and others all back on the court, he still insisted on his "law", even if the game was lost in the end, he wanted to let the proud James leave some deep images of himself.
