The Wizards also made appropriate rotations after the timeout, but James and John Larson were still on the court, and head coach Santos was desperate for the team but still faithfully fulfilled his duties, and James had no opinion on Santos' arrangement, and he knew that this was not the time to make trouble.

The Runners bench bandits led by Francis Leonardo faithfully implemented the "rule" tactics formulated by head coach Wang Lei before the game, James is immediately two or three people as long as he holds the ball, and the Runners players seem to really have no regard for the random scoring of other players on the Wizards.

James could only endure frustration and transfer the ball again and again in the face of the Runners' extreme defense, and he thought he would be ignored like the last time the two teams met, but now it looks like the Runners' style of play is more varied than expected.

The current Runners are known in the league for their varied style of play, and many teams have made extremely strict preparations against the Runners, but when the game really starts, they find that their preparations have all been useless, and the Runners are not playing as they expected, so this makes many teams have no way to take the Runners.

In fact, this is the result of the difference between the two basketball concepts, the concept that prevailed in the league in the past is to follow the rules, each tactic has a fixed routine and running position, and then the center is the center, the outside line is the outside line, each player on the court is to perform his own duties, and the last two teams are to fight the fighting spirit and will of the players.

However, Wang Lei's basketball concept is a fuzzy position on the court, and even a fuzzy player characteristic, Wang Lei hopes that his players can be multi-skilled on the court, not only can play a fixed position, but also can play the due effect when the game is misplaced and attacked.

I have to say that although Pat Riley of the earth's time and space is a little selfish in life, the concept of blurring the position of the court he proposed really accurately points out the direction of the future development of basketball.

In the second half of the 20th century, the Lakers' "SHO TIME" shocked the world, and Pat Riley pointed out at that time that the future basketball game will be five players of equal height playing fast and variable offense on the court.

Although the era of the big four centers has come after this, and the entire NBA league has entered a period of center domination, after entering the 21st century, Pat Riley's preview has gradually been confirmed.

Think of the Warriors who played a 73-win record, think about the Heat during the Big Three period, and then think about the "light bulb" combination of the Rockets, the performance of these teams all shows how long-term Pat Riley was at that time.

Wang Lei in the earth's time and space is an out-and-out otaku, but Wang Lei in this time and space is a professional athlete who loves basketball very much, after integrating the experience of the two time and space, Wang Lei easily accepted Pat Riley's concept, and added his own new understanding and cognition on this basis.

So now the runners under Wang Lei's tutelage have made many teams in the league helpless, because Wang Lei's concept is too advanced and surpasses the development of the entire era of time and space.

Back in the game, the Wizards' offense gradually stabilized after James began to transfer the ball, Wang Lei's defensive tactics are indeed extreme, and its role is not simply defense, but is formulated for James's character flaws, specifically to hit James's confidence.

So in this case, it's normal for the Wizards' offense to be effective.

However, the gap between the two teams has not narrowed, and the Runners' rotation is playing pure chase and counterattack fast breaks, disrupting the opponent's defense at maximum speed, and using outside projection to force the opponent to expand the defensive range, so that an assault player like Francis can make a difference.

This style of play has made it difficult for the Wizards players to adapt, and they find that although they have been fighting hard defensively, the defense has always seemed to be a little lacking, and despite the presence of James Hart and John Larson, the Wizards' defense has always been passive.

At the end of the first quarter, the Runners led the Wizards by eleven points, 37-26.

At the intermission, Wang Lei asked the rotation players to hurry up and rest, and he called Stephen Chambers to his side.

"Stephen, you're not defending well."

"Sir, I know, I know, I don't know why, I always have a sense of fear of defense, every time I see the opponent's movement I can't help but stop, maybe I should find a psychiatrist to take a look."

Stephen Chambers clearly knew why the coach called him to his side, he had been very bad since he came on the court, always seemed slow to defend James, and James found a lot of good opportunities to score on the break.

Stephen has actually been very good on the Runners, his three-point shooting ability is no less than Salish's, but his poor defense has always made him a rotation player, and he is also an unqualified rotation player.

Wang Lei also thought of many ways to help Stephen improve his defense, but this pure "rich second generation" never saw any hope of improvement.

Wang Lei originally thought that Stephen might be able to find a defensive rhythm that suited him after gradually integrating into the team, but now he found out that this guy has a psychological shadow on defense.

"Well, maybe I was negligent, but don't worry, we'll definitely find a way to solve your problem."

Wang Lei didn't criticize Stephen too much, he knew that Stephen's character was not a cowardly person, and now the defensive problem should be his psychological problem.

Stephen also glanced at the coach gratefully, he knew that it was his luck to meet a coach like Wang Lei.

Few coaches will pay attention to the psychological problems of players like Wang Lei, they care more about the interests of the team and their own interests, as for the players, in their hands are almost like tools.

Wang Lei is a coach who is very good at regulating the psychological problems of players, not only because of his special ability, but also because of his experience as a player, he understands all the thoughts of these young people, and also empathizes with their emotions, it is because of this that Wang Lei can so quickly pinch the Runners into a whole.
