"Joey, can you help me book that nightclub on the fifth block? It's called, oh yes, it's called Luminous, right, um, wrap it up, just today, I know it's only half the game, but I trust my players and coaches, go and do what I tell you, if you want to stay here any longer. ”

Runners manager Joey Tolson on the other end of the line hung up the phone as soon as he heard his owner, Francis Leonard, say something.

Although Joey Tolson is almost the same as the head of logistics on the Runners, Joey really has no intention of leaving here.

At the beginning of the season, Joey Tolson did have the idea of leaving, because at that time, the Runners were still seen by many people as a team with no future and hope, and in such a team, Joey originally wanted to control the power, but in the end, the owner trusted the Oriental, which really made Joey very dissatisfied.

But with the Runners getting better and better, and now in Game 5 of the Finals, he won't let Joey go now.

Although Joey Tolsson's presence in the Runners is very low, and he usually has to work hard to solve some logistical problems for the team, but this is a team that is about to win a championship, in Joey Tolson's opinion, it is much better to win one or more championships with the Runners than to mess around with the middle team before, even if he can only manage the logistics staff now.

The Runners, who had already finished Game 5 and led the Heat by nine points at halftime, had basically locked up the championship in Joey's opinion, so he wondered if he should run to the locker room at halftime to brush up on his presence, after all, he is also the general manager of the team anyway.

But before Joey Tolson could take action, the boss's call had already arrived, and Joey, who received the boss's order, could only act immediately.

No matter what team he is on, Joey Tolson understands that the boss's words are the biggest thing, and everyone else's business must be ignored at this time.

At this time, in the locker room of the runners, Wang Lei was making final arrangements for the players.

"I won't tell you the details, I know, and at the same time I believe you can handle everything on the field."

"For the second half of the game, I'm just going to do that, don't let the suspense last too long, I'm not in a hurry, and I hope you don't rush too much, but out there, in this city, and even around the world, there are a lot of people who are anxious to see us lift that trophy and to see that we can celebrate like crazy, so don't let down those who are anxious for us."

As soon as Wang Lei finished speaking, the captain of the team, Blair, stood up, he walked straight to Wang Lei's side and gave Wang Lei a big hug.

"Thank you, Chief, thank you for everything you have done for the team, especially me, I've been waiting for ten years, this is the eleventh year, I admit I'm in a hurry, but I can assure you that I won't let you down and you."

Blair is indeed a little emotional at this time, he has played in the league for eleven years, in the eleven years, although he has gained a lot of fame, but there are not many achievements that can really be achieved, people who like his style of play regard him as the top star in the second and third positions of the league, but more people evaluate Blair as just a "lonely fighter".

Now the "fighter" is finally about to realize his dream, which has to make Blair excited, and at the same time, Blair also has a sincere admiration for Wang Lei, the reason why this team can have today's results must be largely thanks to Wang Lei.

Although the game is only halfway through, basically including the Heat team itself has their own perception of the outcome of the game, and the players of the Runners, as one of the parties, undoubtedly feel the most clearly, they have already felt the powerlessness and struggle of the Heat team at the end of the second quarter.

Blair turned his head to look at his teammates after thanking Wang Lei.

"Guys, most of you are just entering the league, you can have a good start, that's your luck, and it's also your luck to have a coach like Tou'er, no matter where you are in the future, I hope you don't forget the things that Boss taught you, which will be the foundation of your brilliant career."

"With half a game left, I hope you can finish this great season with me and complete our first steps on the road to glory."

There was a solemnity in the dressing room of the entire Runners, and the words of captain Tony Blair resonated with most of the players, which is the most solid foundation on which a team can reach the championship podium, because they all yearn for this glory and more achievements.

When the third quarter began, there were no fans sitting in the Energy Balance Arena, almost all of them were standing, staring at the electronic dial above the center of the court, hoping that time could pass faster and that the game could end sooner.

The Runners didn't disappoint the fans in attendance, and their first offense played a brilliant match at the start of the third quarter.

Turgun barely managed to get the basketball after using his teammates' back-to-back covers, but this time he didn't shoot a three-pointer, but instead used a very bizarre back pass to get the ball into the Heat's interior.

Turgon's back was so weird because the ball went through the crotch of two Heat defenders at the same time as it hit the ground.

Blair, who received the ball on the inside, touched the ball and lifted the ball high into the air with a ball-holding action similar to a volleyball hand pass.

At this time, Salish, who entered from the weak side, was like a heavenly soldier, and the double ball received the ball in the air to complete the violent dunk.

The Runners' spectacular team goal ignited the entire Energy Balance Arena and brought the difference between the two teams to double digits for the first time.

The Heat didn't have any obvious holes in this defense, and their defenders didn't lose their position, so it can only be said that the Runners' combination was too wonderful and too unexpected at the same time, Turgon's bold back pass and Blair's very creative lifting action were just right, and Sallich's cut from the weak side was also just right, and the whole coordination was almost in one go.
