Blair Bowman has been preparing for this comeback for a long time, and it was originally estimated that he could return after Christmas, but Wang Lei did not agree, but let Blair play a full four away games with the team before officially announcing Blair's return from injury.

The reason why Wang Lei did this is also out of long-term considerations, after all, Blair has not played for more than two months, and even his work and rest time and living habits have completely changed, after all, during the injury, Blair was more concerned about the recovery of the injury, and could not live like a match day.

So after a two-month recovery period, Blair Bowman's body has been completely relaxed, although his brain instructed that he has returned to the game, to cheer up, but due to the influence of the living environment and habits, his body has not been able to respond in time, and the metabolism is completely the rhythm during the injury, if he rushes out at this time, Wang Lei believes that this is very bad for Blair, after all, he is over thirty years old.

So in order to think about the long term, Wang Lei asked Blair Bowman to play away with the team, but he watched from the sidelines, let Blair's body feel the atmosphere of the game by itself, and then regain the rhythm of the game.

Wang Lei's arrangement is very good, Blair Bowman has become the team's main firepower as soon as he returns, and Turgun and Salish and others are also willing to help Big Brother brush up the score, they are still young, and there will be opportunities in the future, but Blair, who is over thirty years old and has only one All-Star Game MVP in the league for ten years, is indeed running out of time, he is extremely eager for the championship, and he is extremely eager to win a regular season MVP.

Under the collective "feeding of the cake" by Turgun and Salish and others, Blair has played a number of games in succession since his comeback on January 5, 2021.

On the day of his return on January 5, Blair played 34 minutes in the New York Knicks' away game against the Runners, shooting 14-of-25 from the field, 2-of-2 from three-point range and 8-of-11 from the free-throw line, scoring 38 points in an extremely efficient manner.

The Runners also beat the Knicks by 29 points at home, beating their opponents home and away.

Blair then played more and more bravely, and in the home game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Blair brushed up 43 points, and scored more than 40 points in a single game for the first time this season.

And in the away game against the underdog Denver Nuggets, Blair scored 56 points like a god, which broke the single-game scoring record in his 11-year NBA career.

After breaking the personal record, Blair said with great emotion after the game: "Thank you to my teammates, thank you to my coach, this is a result with their help, I am very lucky, I am glad that I can meet such a good coach and teammates after I am 30 years old, this is the happiest season that Blair Bowman has had since joining the NBA." ”

After this game, Blair scored more than 40 points in four consecutive games, breaking the record set by the legendary star Jack Peter for scoring more than 40 points in five consecutive games.

With this series of record-breaking performances, Blair immediately became the favorite for the regular season MVP, and although he had taken a full two months off, no one would question Blair with such a performance.

The whole month of January 2021 was basically Blair's time alone.

But again, through these games, Turgun has also improved his assists per game to 14.1 per game, which is an extremely staggering statistic, and has not seen a higher average of assists per game in the NBA regular season in nearly a decade.

At the end of January, the Runners are about to welcome their strongest opponent in January, the Washington Wizards, and this game that has been hyped by the league is also of great significance to the Runners, because after winning this game, the Runners will completely establish themselves as the first in the league, and will also leave behind the Washington Wizards and the Los Angeles Lakers who are chasing them.

After a number of games in January, Blair Bowman has felt a huge change in his team, and he has felt a change in himself.

Compared to before, Blair feels that the game is getting easier and easier, he no longer has to hold the ball alone like a bombing bunker to shake the opponent's defense, let alone not only play in attack, but also need to work hard in defense.

All Blair has to do in the game now is to run, then wait for the pass, receive the ball and put it in the basket in a reasonable way.

As for defense, under the Runners' strong attacking firepower, basically no team can pose much of a threat to their defense, and a simple combination of defensive restrictions on interior play is enough to give a headache to many teams that haven't had time to make changes.

After these games, Blair feels more and more that the basketball concepts similar to philosophy that Wang Lei told him before are very reasonable, for example, the offense should be like water, although there is no fixed situation, but it is omnipresent and omnipresent, this kind of thinking has now been thoroughly implemented into the offense of the Runners, their playing style is changeable, so many teams are very headaches, because there is no way to prevent it, and more offense has made many teams known for defense lose face, Because they found that the Runners were attacking as if they were unpredictable, and no one knew where their next attack would start.

After thoroughly recognizing Wang Lei's tactical thinking, Blair also had more thoughts, he was thinking about how he should play the greatest role in the team, and how he should play his role more reasonably, which Blair never did before, because the previous Blair knew that he had to do a lot, so much that he couldn't think about too many things.

After having a new thought, Blair actually found that his previous impatience had disappeared, and he now plays more and more calmly, and he can face the game more relaxed after the burden on his body is lighter, which to a certain extent has improved Blair's shooting percentage a lot.

Now that the team is about to face a tough opponent and the All-Star Game is just around the corner, Blair Bowman feels like he should do something for these little guys and coaches on the team, and he can't just score on his own and ignore the feelings of others.

It can be said that the current Blair has completely integrated into the collective, and he has completely abandoned his original narrow thinking.
