The Suns, who came back from a timeout, still didn't have a good way to take the Runners' continued individual offense.

Penny Alexander is indeed a genius coach, regardless of her gender and age, her on-court command ability is actually not weaker than Wang Lei, her sensitivity to basketball tactics can be said to be natural, but in any case, Penny is only a super young head coach who is not yet thirty years old, so she has always lacked game experience.

Although Wang Lei only joined the league this season, and Penny has been with the Suns for almost three years, but you must know that Wang Lei has participated in international competitions before, although this game is not a basketball game, but in competitive sports, coaches who can lead teams to win awards in international competitions will at least not have too many flaws in their character, and will not drop the chain at some critical moments, this is the so-called championship experience.

So when the Runners changed 180 degrees, Penny showed her weaker side, she started to get a little nervous, and at the same time lost some confidence in her team's tactics.

In a panic, Penny Alexander made the riskier decision to let the players on the pitch start with Turgon, who had more balls.

Wang Lei asked Turgun to hold the ball less and run more without the ball at halftime, but Turgun did not do so after the start of the third quarter, instead he attacked several consecutive attacks at the beginning of the third quarter.

Wang Lei did not have any criticism of Turgon's disobedience to his command, and he knew that Turgun had his own reasons for doing so.

Indeed, as Wang Lei thought, the reason why Turgun did not listen to Wang Lei's arrangement was entirely to better implement Wang Lei's arrangement.

This chrysanthemum may not sound reasonable at first, but it is indeed what Turgun intended.

According to Turgun's understanding of the game, if he plays without the ball at the beginning of the second half, the opponent will inevitably shrink slightly in defence, after all, both Sallich and Blair are based on break-through play.

In this way, even if Wang Lei's arrangement is implemented, the effect will not be too obvious.

What Turgun did was use his outside firepower to expand the Suns' defense first, and then Sallich and Blair would be much better than the previous situation, both on the break and on the offensive side.

Turgun thinks so, and at the same time does so.

That's why Penny Alexander had the illusion that if she wanted to limit the Runners, she had to limit Turgon's play.

So after the timeout, Turgun advanced to the front court and handed the ball to Salish, while he himself ran to the weak side to open up space.

The Suns' defense at this time immediately became chaotic, and the outside players felt that they could not give up their defense against Turgon, and the opponent's three-point shooting was terrible.

However, the interior and the Suns players who are responsible for defending Blair and Sallich feel that they should be able to contain those who are attacking with the ball.

As soon as the Suns were in chaos, the Runners players found out right away.

Blair, who was holding the ball, turned directly to the basket, the Suns center came to make up for it, Blair secretly passed the ball to Erwin, who followed up, and Ervin flew to complete the overtake of the Suns.

After that, the rhythm of the whole game was not controlled by the Suns, and their biggest advantage against the Runners was defensive unity and offensive efficiency, but now these two advantages are gradually lost by themselves.

Penny Alexander had to call a timeout again after three minutes, because in just three minutes, the Runners not only overtook the score, but even stretched the deficit to seven points, such an attack made Penny's heart tremble, and also made the Phoenix fans in attendance tremble.

Phoenix fans originally thought that their team was the best team this season, and each of them was proud of the Suns' resurgence, and when the first half was over, many Suns fans even felt that the suspense of the game was not much.

But the current situation has given them a slap in the face.

The Runners' quick comeback has Suns fans recognizable the gap between their team and the league's top teams.

Another timeout by the Suns didn't work, and Penny Alexander felt helpless at this point.

George Gwen, who was originally sitting on the bench with a decadent face, seemed to be alive again, but he didn't say a word at this time, just stared at Penny with a sneer.

The Suns starters who came back from the timeout did not rotate, but the Runners made some small substitutions.

However, Turgun, Salich and Blair still maintain the team's main attacking firepower on the pitch.

At this time, the playing style of the runner team can be said to be very simple, that is, the three people take turns to attack, once they encounter the outer line of the bag and sandwich, Turgun must be in place, so the three of them play like this to form a shallow tacit understanding.

At the end of the third quarter, the Runners relied on the strong play of Turgun and other three people in the third quarter to stretch the difference between the two teams to 15 points.

All the scores of the Runners in the entire third quarter were covered by these three people, which sounded like it was very bad for other players, but Wang Lei knew that his style of play could only be used against the Suns, and if he wanted to use this pair against other teams, the Runners lacked a strong enough center.

Elvin Butler can only be regarded as a pseudo-center, and his role in the team is actually more like that of a power forward, but he needs to do some of the things that a center should do in defense.

The Suns surrendered less than halfway through the fourth quarter, and Penny Alexander knew that the loss was not good for her future, but now that the team has no hope of catching up, she will not waste any more time on her players and herself.

From trailing by nine points in the first half to ending the suspense of the game in the second half in a quarter and a half, the Runners players went on a rollercoaster ride.

And for the Phoenix fans who came to watch the game, their mood can be regarded as extremely depressed.

In the first half of the game, they felt that the Suns they saw were the rising red sun, but at the end, the fans realized that the sun was about to set.

After the sun sets, there is only one feeling in the Arizona desert, and that is "cool".

In the end, the Western Pacific intra-season game ended with the Runners winning, and they established an advantage over the Pacific teams, which will be very beneficial for their playoff journey later on.
