Chapter 411: Experience
Elvin Butler's height is only two meters and eight, while John Larson, who was defending him just now, is two meters and one tall, and Elvin Butler is about ten pounds lighter than John Larsson in terms of weight, which is nothing, but relying on solid basic skills and excellent undergame power, Erwin withstood John Larson's push from behind, and then used John Larsson's carelessness to complete a beautiful attack.
After Wang Lei let Erwin start to contact the board shooting, this young man who regarded Wang Lei's arrangement as God's oracle has been practicing hard, he has almost all his attention into this training, and even made jokes in daily life, which is such a focus that Ervin quickly mastered the technical characteristics of playing and shooting, and it is very reasonable to integrate into his own style.
Ervin Butler's basketball-focused personality is what Wang Lei values the most, and he is very similar to Turgun in this regard.
At the beginning of the game, the Runners gave the Wizards a surprise, and Irwin, who had been unknown in the past, finally showed his strength and characteristics.
Turning back to the Wizards' offense, point guard Harris advanced to the front court and passed the ball to James Hart at a 45-degree angle.
The Wizards are basically James Hart's team now, although John Larson's reputation was much higher than James' before, but due to the "Friends and Wife" incident, John Larson honestly played a low-key role, so now almost all of the Wizards' offense revolves around James.
Harris Delvette wasn't happy at all, he was a player with a strong desire to attack, but now he was under pressure to act as a basketball transporter, and all he had to do in the game was to dribble through the half court, then give the ball to James, and then just wait to pick up the leak, which made Harris not passionate about the game at all.
As soon as James held the ball, he glanced at the not-so-black player in front of him.
Blair Bowman is of mixed race, so his complexion is not pure black, but rather a bit brown.
Blair did not defend James closely, but put James one and a half distances, his center of gravity did not lower, but there was a lazy taste, and Blair's defensive actions were also deliberately exposed to the right side of James's better at breaking through.
James couldn't help but feel a little criticized when he saw this player who had been his template object defend himself in such a way, and he felt that Blair Bowman was a little unworthy of his name, and he was a little underestimated when he entered the league.
Swallowing the thought in his heart, James saw that the players of the Runners did not mean to switch joint defense, so he planned to give the old guy in front of him a little color, so that he would know that basketball now is not what it used to be.
After two consecutive crotch dribbles, James found the rhythm of the breakthrough, and then suddenly accelerated to break through directly from his right side, which is the direction that Blair deliberately exposed, James believes that his speed and the resulting impact will directly destroy the defense of the star player who has begun to age on the opposite side.
However, just as James confidently took the first step to break through, Blair Bowman, who originally looked a little lazy, suddenly moved sideways very quickly.
It was such a gentle step to the sideways that directly blocked all the routes that James Hart could break through, and then James could only run over the opponent if he wanted to really destroy Blair's defense.
In the face of this collision, Blair flew out at a faster speed than everyone expected, and at the same time, the referee's whistle sounded immediately.
In James' chagrined eyes, the referee on duty made an offensive foul gesture.
Blair got up, and then did not send any "blessings" to the young James, he just reminded James through such a defense that this is the home of the Runners, and the league management will not ignore the benefits that the Runners are now bringing to the league if they treat James as their own son.
James Hart, who originally wanted to discuss with the referee about his offensive foul just now, immediately stopped his movements when he saw Blair's cold expression and ran directly towards their half, and then retreated to his half to prepare for the next attack of the Runners.
No team dares to underestimate the Runners' fast break, which in the words of a loyal Runner fan is that their team plays in Formula 1 cars.
However, the runners' second offense was no different from the first, still pulling away from the outside, and handing over the inside to Erwin, a rookie single.
John Larsson, who was defending Erwin, seemed to be really stimulated this time, and he was extremely serious about defending the rookie in front of him.
However, Erwin didn't make too many fancy moves, just a simple step-back step and turn to shoot, the ball hit the board high again, and John Larsson's defense was a little slower, and the ball almost flew past his fingertips.
Scoring four points in a row, Ervin's performance made the Saucasa fans cheer, and the Wizards players were more or less ugly, after all, it was a rookie player who scored four points in a row under their defense.
James Hart swallowed the anger in his heart and didn't look at John Larson, he was actually not too satisfied with the team's very qualified second-in-command, and James felt that this kind of guy who can cuckold his good brother is not trustworthy.
The Wizards' offense, a somewhat annoyed John Larson, began to demand Harris as soon as halftime passed.
Point guard Harris gives the ball to John Larson, who is more or less able to pass and respond to teammates than James.
John Larsson, who was holding the ball, didn't wait for Irwin's close defense, and around the free throw line, Irvine let John Larson take a step.
Larson, who hesitated for a moment, still made a jump shot directly, and the basketball obediently drilled into the net, but the shame in Larson's heart did not decrease, and he felt that he was underestimated by the little rookie opposite.
Elvin Butler then singled John Larsson inside for the third time, and James Hart couldn't bear to get in place when Irwin found an opportunity, but Erwin was very clever enough to get the ball into the hands of Salish in the bottom right corner.
Sallich's three-pointer was a little hasty, and the ball bounced out of the frame, but Blair Bowman slid through the crack and dunked the ball into the net that wasn't far from the basket.
The Runners got off to a great start, but even more remarkable was the performance of rookie Elvin Butler, a controversial and obscure rookie who can now finally be seen in a positive light.
