Chapter 476: The Runners' Flaws

"Don't let the defense get your attention, Blair is a veteran of the league after all, and his back-to-back skills are among the best in the league, so you don't have to be discouraged by not being able to defend them."

At halftime, Heat head coach Claeson comforted a somewhat depressed Wall.

He didn't defend against Turgun in the last game, and he couldn't defend against Blair today, which made Wall inevitably disappointed.

No matter how good Wall had been before that, he was still just a young man in his early twenties.

Although after experiencing the ups and downs of life, Wall appears to be more mature than his peers, but in terms of his self-regulation ability, he is still slightly lacking.

Fortunately, Claeson is a reasonable coach who cares about Wall's changing mentality, and in Claesson's view, Wall is the most important cornerstone of his future success.

So even though there are still a lot of problems with Wall now, the future of the team and this wonderful lad is definitely promising.

"Focus your energy on offense, find more physical confrontation after you get inside, preferably kill them, and wait until they have too many fouls on the inside, and we have a good chance of winning this game."

In Clason's pre-game assumption, if the Heat team can't take advantage of the opening game and keep the advantage all the time, then the next tactical idea can only be to disrupt the rhythm of the game as much as possible, rely on Wall's personal ability to kill the Runners' interior line, and then regain the advantage and even win through the inside advantage.

Claeson is very optimistic about the outside projection style of play pioneered by the Runners, but this does not mean that he has to completely change his tactical thinking, in his opinion, without the support of the inside line, no matter how accurate the outside shooting is, it is not much use, and without the accurate projection of the outside line, the inside attack will also be very difficult, so the two are complementary to each other, and they are indispensable, this is Claessen's tactical thinking, so he will match Wall with a few "3D" players, At the same time, he will also think about increasing the defensive intensity on the inside.

"Boss, their outside line is too accurate, should we let them keep voting like this?"

Valles couldn't help but interject at this time, he was indeed cast a shadow by Turgon, and the opponent hit 7 three-pointers on his head at halftime, which made Valles very depressed, and he was eager to know what kind of arrangements the coach would make for him, after all, it was rare to have the opportunity to play in the finals, and Valles did not want to continue to return to the bench or even guard the water cooler.

Although Valles' head coach Clayson is the main player to sign, his status in the team has never been high, after all, Clayson has just taken office, and his position is not stable, how can he care about him as a player who only signed a short-term contract.

Now Valles is reused by the head coach and has begun to appear in the finals, which makes Valles have a new look forward to the future, but in the process of the game, Valles is more and more worried that this is his first and last appearance in the finals, so he can't help but keep his position.

"Let them pitch, what we have to do is to do our job, only in this way can we ensure that the game goes smoothly, although I have to admit that their projection ability is indeed beyond my imagination, but I think this illusory feeling can not be maintained forever, at least it is impossible for them to make people tremble throughout the game, as long as they have a little slack, I believe we can seize the opportunity to overtake the score."

Claeson not only answered Valles' questions, but also tried to boost the morale of the players as much as possible, and now the morale of the Heat team is indeed a little low, and many players have a blank feeling about the next game, which is not what Claeson wants to see.

After the rout of the first game, and the second game was so difficult, not to mention the players of the Heat team themselves, even Clayson has a strong sense of loss, but now the Heat team can not appear this feeling, as the head coach of the team, Claeson himself has to play strongly, and at the same time, he has to make the players drum up the morale of the fight.

Compared to the atmosphere on the Heat's side, the atmosphere on the Runners' side is much more relaxed.

Playing the Western Conference Finals with the Lakers, the first game was relatively easy to win, and the players of the Runners have set up expectations for championship glory, which makes the players more relaxed on the court when the game goes well, and also allows them to play more easily in the game.

Turgun had already scored 31 points in the half, which was not his highest score in a half in any competition, but it was his good form in the finals.

A player, no matter how good he performs in the regular season, as long as he has any abnormal performance in the playoffs and even the finals, it is estimated that he will not be recognized by everyone, and only those players who can withstand the pressure and withstand the fierce confrontation to get an excellent performance in the finals level can be called a star or a superstar.

Wang Lei is extremely satisfied with the player's performance in the first half, after all, he did not take the initiative to call a timeout in the first half, all the timeouts were taught by the opponent, and even some changes on the field were made by the players themselves, which is the situation that Wang Lei is most happy to see.

Although in a sense, the performance of the Runners players diluted Wang Lei's role, but only people within the Runners know what kind of effort Wang Lei put into the team to have such a performance.

Although the current Runners team is still a certain gap from the team in Wang Lei's mind, at least the team still lacks a fulcrum on the inside, but in terms of the current development situation of the league and the development of basketball, the Runners are undoubtedly the team at the forefront.

In the case that Ervin Butler has not fully grown up, the Runners do lack enough competitiveness and control on the inside, Erwin is a player that Wang Lei values a lot, he has enough potential, but it still takes time to teach Ervin more things, Wang Lei also wants to find an inside star for the team, but this is obviously unrealistic, no interior player in the league will be willing to come to the current Runners, Because they all know very well that the ball of this team is basically controlled in the hands of the outside, even if they come to hug the thighs, it is estimated that no one will be willing to hug such thighs that are obviously not taken seriously.
