Chapter 521: Real Swords and Real Guns

With the release of the video of this famous press conference, the story of Wang Lei answering reporters' questions with the famous quotes of oriental philosophers 2,000 years ago has been widely circulated, and the three ancient oriental sayings he said have also spread, which has triggered a wave of Chinese language learning in North America.

Although Wang Lei broke a leg, his actions and behaviors were in stark contrast to the so-called "aristocratic" Bracha.

Although Bracha also has supporters, in the eyes of most people in North America, Wang Lei, who is close to the people, is more acceptable to the people.

The media in Los Angeles did not surrender easily, saying that Wang Lei's ability to answer reporters' questions in Chinese at the press conference was rude, and they also hyped Wang Lei as using culture to "invade" North America.

However, the actions of some media in Los Angeles have not been sought after by the people, on the contrary, the truth contained in the three philosophical sayings spoken by Wang Lei has made the people who heard it feel the same way, and they are surprised that someone in the ancient oriental country actually expounded such a truth two thousand years ago, and at the same time, they also have a great interest in Wang Lei's subdued pronunciation.

This wave of "assists" from the Los Angeles media made Wang Lei's three sentences completely popular in North America, and later even produced a special research institute, but this is a later story.

Bracha, who was "humiliated" by Wang Lei at the press conference, still had a gloomy face after returning to the Lakers' home, and he demanded that the players must win the next game, and Bracha vowed to save face in the game.

At 8 p.m. local time in Los Angeles, Staples is star-studded, and Hollywood stars won't miss this great place to show off their style, and even some of the top stars are happy to watch the world's most watched action in Staples.

Wang Lei and his runners were greeted with earth-shattering boos when they walked into Staples, and the fans in Los Angeles obviously had a "special" affection for the runners and Wang Lei.

According to the usual practice, the two head coaches should shake hands and say hello before the game, but it is clear that the two head coaches today have no intention of saying hello to each other with fake affection, and the conflict between Bracha and Wang Lei is now basically public.

The players of the Runners originally planned to bump fists with the Lakers players, high-five or something, after all, everyone is considered "acquaintances", but all the players of the Lakers team today are indifferent, and they have rejected the overtures of the Runners players.

The hot face was attached to a cold ass, which made the captain Blair also very unhappy, and he pulled away his teammates.

"Guys, it looks like it's going to be a tough fight today, so be prepared and be especially careful not to give the other side a chance to hurt you, we still have a lot of records to break and a lot of championships to win."

Blair clearly sensed that the atmosphere of the Lakers was not quite right today, so he first reminded his teammates to take care of themselves.

"But don't hold back today, let's let go of the fight, we have to show the bastards on the other side a little color."

The attitude of the Lakers players did anger the Runners players, and the media hype was okay, but now it seems that the Lakers are taking it seriously, and the other party is obviously looking at the Runners with a contemptuous look, which makes the Runners players even more unhappy.

The Lakers players are obviously deeply influenced by head coach Bracha, who looks like an "aristocracy" on the team all day long, and some Lakers players also love this stinky foot, so the Lakers have always regarded emerging teams like the Runners as a civilian team, but they don't know that Francis, the owner of the Runners, is many times more valuable than the owner of the Lakers.

Seeing that his players were high-spirited, Wang Lei didn't say anything, but only told him not to get injured and let the starters play.

As the referee tosses the ball high in the air, the game officially begins.

The Lakers have the advantage of being on the home court, but it was the Runners who were the first to get into the groove today, or the Runners have been in extremely good form since the start of the season.

Erwin relied on his speed to win the jump ball in the center circle, and the Runners' first offense was lightning fast.

Erwin's ball was picked up by Salich, who made a long pass to the basket, and Blair rushed to the Lakers half court after Irvin jumped, and he jumped high to catch the ball and dunk.

The Runners, who were playing away, took the lead.

The Lakers' next offense went a little wrong, as Turgon's sudden forward cut off the Lakers' pass, and the players on both sides fought fiercely, and the Lakers players fell to the ground in the scramble and knocked the ball out of bounds.

The Runners players are clearly in better shape than the Lakers players, and the Lakers players brought strong emotions today, which made their movements a little deformed.

Next, the Runners' offense was still fast, and Turgun took the ball to the front court to rely on Erwin's cover to shoot directly three-pointers, and the basketball went into the basket.

After a smooth 5-0 start, the head coach of the Lakers, Bracha, couldn't bear it.

The timeout was called less than two minutes into the game, which is enough to see how angry Bracha is at this time, but after all, it is a public occasion, and Bracha is also afraid of his "aristocratic" demeanor.

After the timeout, the Lakers were in much better shape, but the Runners maintained the lead, and although they couldn't continue to expand, the five-point gap remained until the end of the first quarter.

After entering the rotation lineup, the advantage of the Runners was revealed, and the starters of both sides were evenly matched before, but the Lakers' bench players were obviously not able to catch up with the Runners' bench players.

Wang Lei's ability to adjust players is now recognized by almost all teams in the league, which can be seen from the depth of the Runners' bench now, and any player on the Runners' bench can be mixed with a core substitute or even the position of the main player in the vast majority of teams in the league.

Relying on the strong play of the Runners' bench players, the Runners stretched the deficit to nine points at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Lakers made adjustments, and the poor performance of the bench players was replaced by Bracha, and the Lakers' starters returned to the court early.

Wang Lei immediately responded by replacing Turgon, Blair and others.

Turgun relied on the change of tempo to shake off the Lakers' point guard, and the Lakers' point guard tried to pull Turgun down directly in a state of emotional uncontrol, but Turgun still threw the ball out of balance, the basketball accurately drilled into the basket, the referee's whistle blew, and Turgun extended the lead to double digits for the Runners with a brilliant three-and-one.
