Chapter 390: Dilemma
"Fighting, yes, that's right, that's fighting, you need to fight like you are on the battlefield, tear your opponent apart, crush your opponent, and then step on your opponent's corpse to win, this is the game I want, the game I want to win."
The Runners and Chicago Bulls had already played the third quarter, leading the home team Chicago Bulls, while the Runners unusually trailed the Chicago Bulls by as many as 21 points.
In the United Center arena, Wang Lei called out the team's second timeout in this quarter, and the previous timeout was two minutes ago, which shows his anxiety at this time.
Reporters and cameras were filming Chicago Bulls head coach Jake Hughes' instructions to the Bulls players during the pause, and the good sound recording played Jack Hughes's overly "passionate" words directly to thousands of viewers in front of the television.
The live director had to immediately cut the screen to enter the data display interface, after all, Jack Hughes's words were indeed a little too passionate.
On the side of the runners, Wang Lei's expression was very solemn, but his words were still stable, which was a prerequisite for the runners to stabilize.
Wang Lei really didn't expect the Chicago Bulls to play so passionately in this game.
From the very beginning of the game, the Chicago Bulls raised the level of confrontation throughout the game to the level of the playoffs, and the Runners players had to face the opponent's close press for every move.
The Runners, who were not prepared for the game, were stunned by the intensity of the Bulls' defense.
What made the Runners even worse was Turgon's injury.
Wang Lei can avoid the injury problems caused by long-term training, but he can't let the accident on the field not cause injuries to his players.
What's more, Turgon's injury was really not an accident in a sense.
Less than five minutes into the first quarter of the game, the Runners were intimidated by the Bulls' defense, but they still maintained a tie with the Bulls with excellent outside shooting, but when Turgun once again used fake shots to break into the Bulls' basket, he was hit by the Bulls' "accident".
Turgun had passed the ball to Salehi, who was empty in the bottom corner on the other side, before the opponent's backup center Hatu came up, but the Bulls substitute center who had already pounced not only did not restrain his movements, but instead lit up his elbow.
Turgun, who was in the air, had no way to dodge this deliberate hurtful action, he barely got out of the way, but was hit by the side of Hatu's forehead with his elbow concentrated, and he fell to the ground on the spot, bleeding profusely.
Although the Bulls' backup center Turkish Hatu was sent off the court directly, Turgun was also immediately taken to the hospital.
The atmosphere of the whole competition has changed dramatically.
The Bulls took advantage of the impatience of the Runners players to repeatedly kill under the basket, and the Runners' original good hand was gone at this time, and the players with anger in their hearts were completely irritable today, they wanted to take revenge on the opponent, but they just stepped into the trap set by the opponent.
At halftime, the Bulls led the Runners by eighteen points, and into the third quarter, the Bulls' lead continued to increase.
"Stabilize your emotions, be steady, the first thing to do now is to slow down and don't bring your emotions into the game, it will only disrupt our rhythm."
"I'd love to kill that bastard right now, but that's obviously unrealistic, and the best way to avenge the bunny is to win this game, to prove our strength with victory, and to prove their shamelessness with victory."
"Francis, stop thinking about revenge on them, focus on the game, Salish, you too, don't be strong, play our cooperation, defensively, we have to work hard, focus on defending the joint defense, make a decisive move when the time is right, don't hesitate, don't push too hard."
Wang Lei was in a very bad mood at this time, he was worried about Turgon's injury, and he hated the shamelessness of the opponent, and there were all kinds of confusion, he couldn't understand why the Bulls would use such excessive means at this time, and this was the first time the Runners and the opponent met in the regular season, and the two sides had no grievances before.
The Bulls obviously do not have any benefit in doing this, on the contrary, it will offend the league, after all, the Runners are now a team strongly supported by the league, not to mention that Turgun is now a new star in the league, he is regarded as one of the keys to open the huge market in the East, the Bulls will abolish others, but the top of the league will be unhappy if Turgun is abolished, which is the most confusing point for Wang Lei.
And now the Bulls are fighting so fiercely, it is obvious that they want to have a mortal enmity with the runners, which is definitely not good for them, and the current runners are supported by the Leonard family, which is one of the largest families in North America.
"Coach, hasn't there been any news from the little rabbit?"
After training the players, as soon as Wang Lei stopped, Salish and others asked about the news of Turgon, and now many players of the Runners are worried about Turgon's injury, and they all know very well what Turgun means to the team.
There is also competition within the Runners, there are only five starting positions, everyone wants it, and there will naturally be competition, but Wang Lei controls this competition very well, and his players will play very seriously in training, but off the field, their private relationship is also very good.
Although Turgun usually doesn't talk much, he is a sincere young man, he has outstanding shooting ability, and often helps other players in the team to shoot in special shooting drills after training, which has won the recognition of many players.
So now the Runners players are also thinking about Turgon's injury, they don't want this talented young man to fall, and the appearance of Turgun being carried out of the field with blood on his face is really too worrying.
"I don't know, but I'm sure he won't be knocked down so easily, he's the most basketball-loving guy I've ever met."
The player's inquiry made Wang Lei's mood not good, he was more worried about Turgon's injury than the player, this is a player brought out by Wang Lei, pinning all Wang Lei's hopes and expectations for basketball.
"Okay, let's get back to the game, win this game, win this victory, we have to let everyone here see who the hell is the strongest, cheer up, we have to welcome the return of the little rabbit with victory."
