Chapter 397: The Great War (5)

"Listen, guard against the opponent's blocking, don't change the guard, and don't go to the point guard, it's just a man-to-man."

"Coach, that Oriental is very accurate......

"Then let him vote, didn't you notice that the Oriental man was very dull when he made his moves today? Haha, this is the sequelae of his injury, the concussion did not recover so quickly, I guess it was the Oriental coach who forced this kid to play, hum, it's so dictatorial, I definitely wouldn't do such a thing. ”

On the Lakers' bench, Van Lauder was explaining to his players how to play in the second quarter.

The Lakers are obviously going to use a rotation lineup to top a wave in the second quarter, but now that Turgun is on the court, the Lakers are obviously a little afraid of this three-point point guard, indeed, many teams in the league are now a little afraid of the Runners, especially Turgon's three-point shot, because it is really too difficult to guard, too close will be passed, a little relaxed can not prevent the opponent's shot.

However, Van Lauderway was really good, and in the last two minutes of the first quarter, although the Runners quickly caught up with the score, but it also exposed the reason why Turgun came off the bench, as Van Lauder said, Turgun really has not fully recovered.

That collision with the Chicago Bulls did cause a minor concussion for Turgun, and under normal circumstances, it would not be possible to fully recover without a week's rest, but now Turgun is on the court in less than three days.

However, Van Rodwe guessed correctly that Turgun had not fully recovered, but he guessed wrongly that it was not Wang Lei who asked Turgun to play, but that Turgun himself wanted to play.

In the pre-game training camp of the Runners, Wang Lei asked Francis, Salich and others to try to control the ball and play blocking and dismantling with their teammates, and the team's veteran Stan McPreece also tried to cooperate with many of the team's interior lines, but the effect was still not good.

Turgon, who insisted on coming to the team at that time, saw this situation and took the initiative to ask for help to play and control the ball in this game with the Lakers, and Turgun also tried to cooperate with his teammates a few times in training, which was indeed much better than others, plus Turgun behaved as if he was not injured, and finally Wang Lei agreed to Turgon's request.

However, although Turgun was finally allowed to play in this game, Wang Lei still did not let him start, but let Turgun play with a rotating lineup.

And Turgun himself played very carefully after coming on the court, after all, he didn't want to be injured again, and because his head was still a little dizzy, Turgun didn't shoot three-pointers after coming on the court, which was discovered by Van Laudway.

When the second quarter of the game began, the players on the court of Turgun and the Runners suddenly found that the opponent's defense of Turgun was much looser, and more attention was paid to the protection of the interior line, and the Runners' blocking and dismantling tactics were a little difficult to play.

Turgun on the field clearly discovered the opponent's intentions, but he did not make a rash move, because he himself knew that he had no touch at all today, and a rash shot would only affect the rhythm of the whole team.

Since his opponent was loose on himself, Turgun was also bold enough to start closing on the inside.

Wang Lei breathed a sigh of relief off the field, he knew that Turgun had chosen the right solution.

With Turgun's advance, the Lakers' rotation players had to force up to defend, after all, the opponent's three points may not be accurate, but two points are not necessarily.

At this time, Turgon's partner John Claes was also very smart to come up again to cover Turgon, and the Lakers' backup power forward was facing John Claes, and he had to chase after him.

At the moment when the four of them immediately staggered, Turgun shook his right hand, and the ball drilled through the crotch of the Lakers' backup power forward, and at this time, John Claes was also in place, grabbed the basketball with his long arms, and dunked before the Lakers' backup center came up.

The Runners took the lead at the start of the second quarter.

However, this just scored did not make the Lakers' rotation players wary, and even their head coach Van Lauderway didn't think it was anything, after all, Turgun really can't shoot threes, and once the biggest threat is gone, Van Lauderway doesn't think Turgun is much of a threat.

But the next game process was a little incomprehensible to everyone on the Lakers, Turgon, who couldn't shoot three-pointers, still played the Lakers rotation players couldn't find North, and every time he dribbled and pressed, the Lakers players just fell into the trap he set up, and Turgun himself can always find the best passing route in various tight spaces.

John Claes is like a little boy waiting to be served, all he needs to do is show his body and bounce, and then give his opponent a hot and fresh slam dunk.

Turgon's performance left Lakers head coach Van Lauderway dumbfounded, and he couldn't imagine that Turgon, who had almost no shooting ability, could still lead his team on offense like this.

The Lakers rotation players who were beaten by the opponent's offense were also in trouble with their offense at this time, although they had an advantage in height, but the Runners' rotation lineup played a very resolute joint defense, and the Lakers' bench lineup had no qualified pitchers, so they had almost nothing to do with the opponent's joint defense, and the strong attack of individual players only made enough rebounds for John Claes, who was only two meters and six meters tall.

With less than five minutes to play in the second quarter, the Runners took advantage of the excellent play of Turgun and John Claes to stretch the deficit to seven points.

From leading by seven points to trailing by seven points, Lakers players have experienced ups and downs in their mentality.

Van Lauderway had to bring Charles Mobley and Stelle Carter back on the pitch early, and he didn't dare to keep the Runners ahead.

As soon as the opponent's main force came on the court, Wang Lei also responded immediately, Turgun rested, Erwin and others also returned to the court, and the two sides returned to the balance of power at the beginning of the first quarter.

Wang Lei's team has always been very good at playing tailwind, as long as his team is ahead, it is basically not easy for the opponent to turn the tables, unless there are some big accidents.

The Runners maintained a seven- to eight-point lead in the rest of the game, although Salish couldn't play the pick-and-roll, but his weird breakthrough ability helped the Runners maintain a high shooting percentage, and the Lakers had little touch on the outside today, if it weren't for the strong inside rebounds of Streey Carter and Jack Williams, maybe the Runners could continue to extend their lead.
