Chapter 517: Breaking Records
"Incredible, incredible."
"How many three-pointers are they? How many are these? ”
'It's twenty-fourth, twenty-fourth, and it's a full five minutes to go and I'm sure they're probably going to set a record that will jaw the players behind them.'
The preseason practice worked well, and after entering the regular season, the runners went straight into the game.
The opening game against the Celtics was a game that the league deliberately set up to attract the attention of fans and create a new rivalry for their colleagues, but the Celtics were clearly unprepared compared to the Runners, who were beaten 114-97 at home.
The defensive tactics that the Celtics have adhered to have done little have done much against the current roster of the Runners, who have gone into a combination of inside and outside after Erwin's return.
Returning from injury, Erwin not only did not suffer from a decline in his ability due to injury, but on the contrary, he played more intelligently than before.
So the 17-point defeat wasn't so hard for the Celtics to accept, at least in their own eyes.
The opening game was unremarkable, which slightly disappointed the league, and it was clear that the Celtics clearly had no intention of cooperating with the Runners, who were not as good defensively as they were last season.
However, when the Runners' second game reached the third quarter, the league was happy again, because at Sacramento's home court, they faced the Heat, who had rebuilt this season, but the Runners played a game that jaw-dropping everyone.
In the three-quarter and seven-minute game, the Runners threw in 24 three-pointers.
Those twenty-four three-pointers consumed the Runners to take forty-two shots, which equates to a shooting rate of more than five out of five.
Among the 24 three-pointers, Turgun alone contributed 11, and his shooting rate was as high as more than 70%, which made the host who commented the game amazed.
Of the other three-pointers, Salich had four, Stephen had four, and even Erwin had a three-pointer.
Such a three-point shot, such a runner team completely stunned the rebuilt Heat team, if it weren't for Dwyane Wall's still strength, maybe the game would have lost suspense early before the fourth quarter.
In the remaining five minutes, the Runners hit three more three-pointers in quick succession, bringing them to 27 three-pointers and a team-wide 140 points.
The Heat gave up the game for the last two minutes, and the Runners set a new single-game three-point shooting record they set last season, as well as the league's record for the most points scored in a regular season game as the Runners scored a staggering 156 points at the end of the game.
Turgun played a statistic in today's game that the league needs to remember, as he chipped in 63-pointers and also dished out 16 assists, a statistic that has never been seen in the league's many years of history.
While the Heat also set a new franchise all-time scoring record with 139 points, it doesn't pale compared to the Runners.
The in-form Runners then went into winning streak mode, and no team could withstand their stormy offense, winning all eight games in October, averaging a staggering 138.5 points per game, which also broke the league's scoring record for the first eight games of the regular season.
After eight games, the three cores of the Runners have all entered the top five in the scoring list with points per game, which once again stunned all the teams in the league, who would have thought that there would be a team with such strong firepower in the league.
Turgun averaged 38.5 points per game in these eight games, ranking first in the league, Blair relied on the 60+ in a single game against the Nuggets to also make himself average more than 30 points per game in the first eight games, ranking second in the scoring list, and Salehi did not score super high points in the first eight games, but he averaged 27 points per game, which made him the fifth in the scoring list.
The fact that a team has three players in the league's top five scoring charts at the same time is something that has never been seen before in the history of the league.
Heading into November, the Runners continued their winning streak, with some underdogs surrendering even after three quarters, such as the still-sparse New York Knicks, who only held out for two quarters at home against the Runners in early November, and failed to pull back a 40-point deficit throughout the second half.
As the Runners' wins became easier, the three cores' scores, such as scores, began to decline, and the main reason for the decline was that they had less and less time to play.
However, these three don't care too much about the stats or anything, and only Salish may care about playing time, after all, his heart is not as stable as Blair and Turgon.
After the whole November game, the Runners still did not taste defeat, and the only threat came from the Lakers, who have also played well since the start of the season, and have to admit that Bracha's ability is still there.
The Lakers played well on the road against the Runners in late November, sending the game into overtime, where Turgon made two three-pointers to end the game.
At the same time, it also gave Bracha more to say.
But this time Wang Lei didn't react, he only replied to Bracha: "It's the 21st century, and there are still people who call themselves 'nobles', I don't know if I'm ahead of this era, or some people are behind this era." ”
In one sentence, there was not the slightest dirty word, but it spicily satirized Bracha's behavior, and at the same time made Wang Lei offend many people.
But now Wang Lei really doesn't care about this, he can't force everyone to like him and worship him, with his current reputation, he can completely ignore the criticism and remarks targeted by some people.
And the runners coached by Wang Lei are also like Wang Lei's personality, ignoring all praise and criticism, and marching on the road of consecutive wins and record-breaking as always.
The Runners won all of their 14 games in November, bringing their winning streak to 22 games, surpassing their previous season's record and placing them in the top three of the league's all-time winning streak.
Now the only thing left in front of the Runners is the Celtics' 30-game winning streak and the Lakers' 37-game winning streak, and although the 22-game winning streak is still some way from these winning streaks, there is no guarantee that the Runners will not be able to break these records.
