Sweat fell from the tip of James Hart's nose, which made James feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his face at this time, and all his energy was used against the veteran who was ten years older than him on the other side.

The difference in the score is no longer taken to James' heart, and he has no time to care about these, the only thing on James' mind now is how to recover face from this veteran who was looked down upon by him before.

At this time, the game has reached the middle of the third quarter, and the Wizards have fallen behind the Runners by 26 points, and what makes the Wizards even more helpless is that the score difference continues to be stretched.

The defense can't be prevented, the offense can't open the situation, the team cooperation is almost non-existent, basically relying on the individual ability of the players to attack again, such a game is rarely played by the Wizards from the beginning of the regular season to the present.

Since James entered the Wizards, and with the arrival of John Larson, this former fish-belly team has transformed into a superpower team in the East.

At the beginning of the season, teams like the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics could have relied on James' inexperience to beat the Wizards once or twice, but as James gradually adjusted to the rhythm of the regular season, the Wizards were swept in the East.

James is not the kind of player who doesn't pass a ball, compared to many scoring masters in the league, James is actually very good at assisting teammates, but his characteristic is that he needs to hold the ball for a long time, and then wait to attract the bag before passing the ball to the open player, in fact, he is good at sending nanny balls.

Of course, this is understandable, after all, this kind of passing is in a sense the most efficient, not only James can brush up assists, but his teammates will also score.

But it is precisely because of this that the Wizards are very disadvantaged when they meet the current Runners.

Wang Lei knew James's personality traits from the last meeting between the two teams, and it was based on this that he agreed to Blair's tactical strategy of defending James alone and arranging rotation players to smash James.

Under such a strategy, James is stuck in a quagmire and cannot extricate himself, and the entire Wizards team lacks not only that consistent scoring point, but also the team's brain and engine.

And with John Larson infuriated by the Runners' little-known rookie Elvin Butler, the Wizards don't even have the players to run the team, how can we talk about beating opponents in this situation?

Watching the Runners players on the field play the No. 1 team in the East, the Sachusetts fans in attendance cheered loudly, and some die-hard fans who spent money on the Runners at the beginning of the season now feel that their investment may be hugely profitable.

You must know that at the beginning of the season, before the Runners changed their name, the bookmaker marked the playoff odds for the Runners at 25.5 to 1, and the odds to win the championship were as high as 53 to 1, which means that the bookmaker did not think that the Runners at that time could break into the playoffs or even win the championship.

But as the regular season progressed, bookmakers slashed the Runners' odds dramatically after just twenty games.

Fans who bet on the Runners at the start of the season will definitely make a lot of money if they wait for the Runners to do something at the end of the season.

In the third quarter, when there were four and a half minutes left in the game, Wang Lei began to make substitution adjustments, Turgun and other starters all went to rest, and some of the players who had not played much before, but Wang Lei felt that players with potential began to appear, and he actually boldly began to practice in such a game.

Wang Lei's bold move definitely stimulated the emotions of the Wizards players, and their actions began to become intense, and the hot atmosphere on the court began to intensify a little.

The referee on duty had to blow technical fouls in quick succession to deter players on both teams, especially on the Wizards' side, and John Larson completely forgot about his own low-key thing, and received a technical foul and a personal foul in just three minutes.

Although Santos, the head coach of the Wizards, has decided to leave the Wizards, he doesn't want to be too embarrassed when he leaves, so he immediately replaced John Larson and others after seeing that the situation was wrong, and he even replaced James despite his resentful expression.

Although the Wizards did not surrender outright, it was not much different from surrendering.

After James and John Larson went off the court together, the Wizards' court actually improved a little.

Point guard Harris Delvett showed his pace and offensive ability when he had the ball.

Under Harris's assault, the Wizards' offense took a turn for the better.

On the Runners' side, although they are all some of the inconspicuous figures in the previous regular season, they still have their own outstanding characteristics.

Stephen Chambers has become the heart of the offense on the court, his off-ball play is very good, and if you ignore his defensive flaws, this is a very good role player, at least his consistent three-point shot is definitely a big killer for many teams.

You know, in many previous regular season games, Sallich, Turgun and others have had a cold hand, but only Stephen's hand has been maintained very well, this pure "rich second generation" has almost put all his confidence into the three-point shot.

In addition to Stephen, the likes of shooting guard Rashad Hollison and small forward Zula Grayton all have their own standouts.

Rashad is average in all respects and is a player who fits the 3-and-D requirements very well, Zula Grayton is an African-American player with amazing physical talent, he is two meters and three meters tall with an arm span of two meters and two meters, and his speed is amazing, he is one of the few defensive players on the Runners' team.

At the end of the third quarter, the Runners held the margin at 28 points.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Wizards resisted a little at the beginning, and the Runners stretched the margin to more than 30 points after James played two minutes later.

James, who voluntarily called a timeout, sat on the bench for only a few moments before turning around and leaving the court early.

The Wizards surrendered directly after James left the court, and the two sides spent the remaining minutes of the fourth quarter without panicking.

I have to say that the Wizards played really miserably in this game, 110-83, the Runners let everyone see their strengths, and also made many teams discover the huge flaws of the Wizards.
