Wall lowered his center of gravity very low, and although he had never been directly opposite Turgun before, he already knew through the video how much the foreigner he was defending now had control over the dribble.

The Lakers' point guard Mobley can be regarded as one of the best point guards in the league, but in the previous Western Conference finals, Mobley was shaken by Turgon several times, so Wall now does not dare to have any carelessness in the face of Turgon, and lowering the center of gravity can ensure that Wall is not easily shaken to lose his center of gravity.

However, Turgun clearly had no intention of attacking Wall today, and he hoisted the ball directly into the hands of Erwin on the inside.

Before the game, the Runners had an arrangement in the tactical meeting, and for Wall, they must not attack in this direction, because Wall has a defensive intensity that ordinary guards do not have, and he had a single-game six-block performance in the previous playoff games, so the task of Turgon's offense today is to advance, and then run without the ball, using the off-ball run to pull Wall's attention and keep him away from the inside, so that the rest of the Runners don't have to have too many scruples after hitting the inside.

Although Erwin is shorter than Corey Ryder behind him in terms of height, he is slightly heavier than Irwin in tonnage, so as soon as Erwin leans on Corey Rydell with his back, his opponent immediately wavered.

The Heat were known for their strong defense before Klaeson took over, and they combined well with their interior and exterior defenses, and Klaeson inherited this characteristic, but in today's game, the Heat's outside defenders did not dare to help their teammates on the inside too easily, because they knew how strong the opponent's firepower was on the outside today.

Sensing that Corey Ryder behind him was a little shaken, Erwin immediately continued to do the next move, his hips pouting back, and then suddenly turned and stepped back to shoot.

Corey Ryder was completely knocked out of his center of gravity by Erwin's movements, and by the time he wanted to pounce and make up for it, Erwin had already completed his step-back move.

The basketball slides across the arc and hits a point on the rebound with precision, then bounces off and drills into the net accurately.

After practicing shooting for most of the season, Erwin is now very sure of his shots.

They started the game behind by four points, which made the Heat players and coaching staff a little nervous, they studied the Runners before the game, and found that as long as the Runners were in the lead at the beginning, then their win rate could reach more than 70 out of 5, which is an extremely amazing fact, which shows that the Runners will be very good when playing downwind.

The Heat's offense finally paid off, and it was still Wall, and this time he forced it again, hitting the weaker left side of Blair's body, and as a last resort, Blair sent his first individual foul.

Wall barely managed to shoot before Blair fouled, and then used free throws to score the first two points of the game for the Heat.

Next, the Runners maintained their own offensive rhythm that was neither fast nor slow, and naturally they would not let go of the opportunity to attack quickly, but they tried to consume time as much as possible in every positional battle.

The Heat's defense has to take care of the Runners' three major shooters, so they are a little negligent in guarding against the Runners' interior offense.

Ervin Butler was a bit of a ghost today, scoring eight of the Runners' top 10 points by himself.

Although Corey Ryder moves quickly, he can't stand up to Erwin's versatile style of play that can shoot and break and show off his feet.

With six minutes to play in the first quarter, the Runners led by five points at 16-11, and it can be said that such a start can still satisfy the Sa City fans in attendance and the Republic fans in the Far East.

It's not like the Heat players didn't want to pack Elwin, but as soon as they made a move on defense, Turgun and Salish hit three-pointers in quick succession, which had to make the Heat players give up their intention to pack Elwin.

Heat head coach Claeson called a timeout halfway through the first quarter, and did not blame Clayson too much for Corey Ryder's poor performance, after all, even he did not expect the Runners, a young center who has always been very low-key, to have such a strong strength.

After seeing Erwin score one after another, Clayson suddenly admired Wang Lei's vision, this is obviously a good embryo of a top insider, although he is slightly shorter, but his solid basic skills are enough to make up for this defect.

After the timeout, Corey Ryder was still on the court, but he was flanked by a Heat backup power forward, Harun Sardinson.

Harlan, who is about the same height and tonnage as Irwin, came on the court and began to defend Irwin, while Corey Ryder was responsible for protecting rebounds and marking Toby Syves, who was outside the Runners' offensive system.

The purpose of Claesson's change was to limit Erwin's continued scoring, but Wang Lei was not a vegetarian, and he also made substitutions immediately after Claesson's change, Toby Sevig, who was excellent in defense but single in offense, was replaced, and Stephen Chambers, who was the sixth man of the year in the regular season, came on.

Toby Sevig's role as a starter for the Runners is actually to protect rebounds and defensive patches, and his main offensive scoring is from secondary offense and open shots, and after Stephen was replaced by Wang Lei, the Runners began to gradually increase their speed.

Claesson's switch to defensive power forward Haroun Sardinson certainly gave Irwin a lot less room to maneuver, but then he found that the focus of his opponent's attack had changed.

The three pitchers of Turgon, Sallich, and Stephen went to the outside line, and Erwin mentioned that the high post covered Blair, and Blair had enough space and advantage to attack the Heat in the low post.

At the end of the first quarter of the game, the Heat team was obviously at a disadvantage, they were already behind the Runners by as many as 9 points at this time, and more importantly, Claeson found that his opponent could react extremely quickly to every change, which shows that the Runners' players execute very highly, and it also shows that their adaptability is very fast, sometimes even Wang Lei did not call a timeout to adjust, and the players on the Runners have made corresponding changes to Claesson's changes.

"It's really good, this Oriental seems to know how to make players understand how to use tactics on the field."

Clayson glanced at Wang Lei, who was sitting calmly on the bench, and he really felt that Wang Lei was the best coach he had ever seen in his life.
