Chapter 446: Feeling
Turgun slowly relaxed his body, and he calmly reflected on his previous performance on the bench, and he realized that he did always seem to be inadvertently lifting the speed.
Accustomed to the rhythm of the regular season, this style of running and shooting has penetrated into the bone marrow of Turgon, in fact, the players of the entire Runners team love this style of play very much.
But with the current form of the team, they are clearly not suitable for this style of play.
There is no difference between running and shooting when they are in a slump and looking for death, after all, the Runners have no advantage inside, and once they miss the shot, then the next thing they will face is likely to be the opponent's fast attack.
If that's the case, you must know that the attack is not smooth and it is also likely to cause the entire defense to be unbalanced.
If the entire basketball court forcibly divides him into offense and defense, it is extremely old-fashioned, Wang Lei's transformation of the runners to successfully run the team is actually to blur the offense and defense, the concept of this kind of pumping is more difficult to understand, which has caused many teams to imitate the running team's style of play but have never been able to find a clue.
By this time, the game had reached the second half of the second quarter, and with three minutes and twelve seconds left before halftime, the Runners led the Rockets by three points.
The Rockets' defense is really good, this is the foundation of their foothold in the league, for Turgon, the Rockets' defensive players dare not have the slightest carelessness, even if this Eastern young man did not have a high shooting percentage before, but who knows if he will suddenly explode like playing the Spurs.
Turgun dribbled towards the bottom left corner of the Rockets' half, and Stephen Chambers in the corner immediately moved to meet him.
Stephen used the three-pointer to help the Runners stabilize the situation before, and at this time, the Rockets did not dare to relax in any way for the legendary league's famous "rich second generation".
Turgun made a pass feint against Stephen and then saw the Rockets players drawn attention to Stephen's movement and then prepared to cut along the baseline.
The Rockets' players did a really good job defensively, and although they were deceived by Stephen's feints, they still stubbornly found their defensive positions.
At this moment, Turgon, who had always seemed ordinary before, pulled the ball with his left hand in a high-speed rush and stopped.
This ability to force a shift in gravity during high-speed travel is usually only achieved by the league's top stars.
And Turgun seemed to have found the feeling of the past after making this move, and then stepped back coherently outside the three-point line, and Miao shot a three-point shot without even aiming at it.
After making the shot, Turgun turned and raised three fingers in both hands, knowing that he had found the feeling he should have.
Turgon's swift shot gave the fans watching the game the illusion that the ball was still below Turgon's head, and he immediately turned back to celebrate.
The basketball spun in the air with an extremely strong spin and then plunged into the net accurately, and the Rockets players were also frightened by this three-point point, and they were a little stunned.
In front of the TV in Los Angeles, Anna Stewart had already put her fingers in her mouth, an action she would only do when she was extremely focused and nervous, and she was amazed by what Turgon's action just now, what a sexy action.
Turgun turned on the god killing mode after finding his senses, and the players of the Runners began to feed Turgun the ball in a flash of understanding.
The pressure on the Rockets suddenly increased, and they had to wrap Turgun properly.
However, Turgun, who was already in form, found his old feeling, although he knew that his hand was hot, but he did not stick to the ball, instead he began to hand over the ball to Salish, who returned to the field, and began to run without the ball himself.
Wang Lei was finally relieved to see Turgun enter the state off the field, he knew that the game had been stabilized, and he also knew that under the leadership of Turgon, this team that was in a somewhat sluggish state would regain its original rhythm.
Wang Lei, who was relieved, sat back on the bench, and assistant Liu Xi immediately handed Wang Lei a water cup, and also handed Wang Lei some statistics from the previous game.
Although Liu Xi does not have Gao Ming's super data processing ability, I have to say that this assistant is really good enough, and he silently helped Wang Lei solve a lot of tedious things, so that Wang Lei can focus on the game with peace of mind.
On the field, with Turgun's play, the Rockets finally had an unbearable situation.
The bag or two of the players is useless for Turgun who runs off the ball and is not worth the cost for the Rockets, who have only one man and the Runners are not without threat from the rest of their position.
With Turgun to attract defensive attention, Salehi's breakaway and Blair's low-post singles are starting to find their groove.
The Runners' pace began to pick up with the deliberate push of Salish and Turgon, and the Rockets finally tasted defeat in the regular season once again.
In the little time left in the second quarter, the Runners went on an 11-2 run, with Turgun alone contributing two three-pointers and a mid-range shot, and Salich and Blair also scored.
By halftime, the Runners had extended their margin to double digits.
At halftime, Wang Lei praised everyone in the team, he knew that this group of young players would grow after such a game, and the team's tacit understanding would also improve with the development of this game.
Crisis, crisis, that is, there are opportunities in danger, and the Runners' loss in the first game is indeed their crisis, and if it is not handled properly, it is likely that their playoff journey will be over.
But Wang Lei relied on his own ability to keenly discover the state of the team, and at the same time made the most reasonable adjustments.
If the brain of the entire runner team is Turgon, then the soul of the team is Wang Lei, without Wang Lei, this team may also have achievements, but the improvement will definitely not be so fast.
When the game came to the third quarter, the Runners began to play the usual running and shooting, this change caught the Rockets players and coaching staff a little off guard, because according to the Runners' style of play in the first and second quarters, they seemed to have given up the plan to attack quickly, although the Runners did speed up in the last minute of the second quarter, but the Rockets head coach John Schmidt thought it was just an adjustment.
Therefore, the Rockets still arranged the strategy of defensive positional battles at halftime, and it can be said that the changes of the Runners have completely disrupted the overall layout of the Rockets.
