Although the Los Angeles Lakers relied on team cooperation to score 32 points in the first quarter of the game against the Runners, the Lakers finally trailed the Runners by 10 points in the first quarter in the face of the Runners, who were surging three-pointers and keeping the Lakers in a passive state.

The Lakers are not without strength, and although they play team basketball, they still have star players such as power forward Strickart, who is one of the best No. 4 players in the league and can compete with the two towers before the Dallas Mavericks on his own.

In last season's Western Conference Finals, if Strickart hadn't been seriously injured in the first round of the playoffs, maybe the Mavericks wouldn't have won this championship.

Ahead of this game against the Runners, the Lakers were not undermined, and their head coach Van Lauderway made a comprehensive arrangement for the Runners' style of play, with Lakers players on each point to mark them specially.

Van Lauderway wanted young Wang Lei to get a good feel for the true strength of the league's top defensive team.

However, the Dutch-American head coach of the Lakers forgot that it is important to forget that passive defense is always passive, and he wants to use passive thinking to defeat active thinking, which is a fallacy in itself.

In fact, this is also the bias of the popular basketball concept in the league now, there has always been a black and white concept in Western culture, which has something to do with their monotheistic religious beliefs, and it is precisely because of this concept that many current basketball coaches think that the closer to the basket, the more threatening this theory is the only development direction of basketball.

And because of the prevalence of this theory of dominance under the basket, teams will take defense so seriously, especially for defense under the basket.

Although Wang Lei's Runners have clearly shown in the first five games that they don't pay much attention to the status quo of offense and defense under the basket, due to the inertial thinking, many league players, including the Lakers, still feel that the Runners' style of play is flawed.

When it came to the game, the players of the Runners used a wave of three-point rain to extinguish the Lakers' fierce fighting spirit before the game.

Wang Lei has always emphasized the word initiative when explaining the team's tactics to the players of the runners, and he even told the players that he is not afraid of the players playing randomly, but he is afraid that the players will not play and play randomly, at least it shows that you have the urge to play and **, and staying on the field rigidly according to the tactics of the board and the running position can only be called coping with errands.

Now, the Runners have taught the Lakers a good lesson with their proactive tactics.

Van Lauderway tried to re-play his team during the break, but now he finds himself unable to find a way to restrain the Runners, who he even feels are very much like the all-attacking and all-defensive tactics that were popular in his home country when football was at its peak.

Anyway, the game continued, Van Laudweg gritted his teeth and directly let the players come on the court and fight with the Runners to attack, at this time the Lakers were behind, they could only hope that the offense could make the team catch up with the score, as for the defense, Van Laudwey and the Lakers players knew that it was impossible to defend.

In the second quarter, both sides changed to the rotation lineup, and the Lakers' bench strength is actually very strong, after all, they are one of the richest teams in the league, plus the exposure advantage of big cities, which makes the Lakers a huge attraction to the players.

However, the Runners' bench lineup is not for nothing, such as Francis Leonardo, who switched his style and focused on developing his defensive ability, which made the Lakers' backup point guard veteran Joe Blair suffer a big loss.

Joe Blair is the traditional kind of passing point guard, he is not tall, the projection ability is good, mainly relying on his own experience and understanding of tactics to play, but unfortunately today he met the unreasonable Francis Leonardo, this Italian descendant who abandoned his previous basketball philosophy always used his strong body to constantly collide with Joe Blair.

The rotation lineup was evenly matched, but after the two sides changed to the starters again, the Lakers still couldn't withstand the Runners' more flowering offense, and their own offense had a big problem.

Strickart is the core of the Lakers' interior line, his physical fitness is very amazing, although he is only two meters and eight meters tall, but he is the core of the Lakers' interior offense and defense, his rebounding ability and strength are Streecart's powerful weapons in the league for many years.

However, Strickart has a big flaw in that he is extremely inaccurate in his free throws, and he shot less than 60% from the free-throw line last season.

Therefore, in Wang Lei's view, Strickart has become a major loophole for the Lakers, and the "slash-and-kill tactics" that have only appeared in the East before have reappeared in the NBA arena.

Wang Lei was not unscrupulous enough to foul Stella without the ball, he just arranged for the players to take foul tactics as soon as Strycart received the ball.

At this moment, the Lakers were dumbfounded, and the more Stear made the free throws, the more irritated he became, and even the phenomenon of only one of the four free throws appeared.

By the end of the second quarter, the Runners had stretched the deficit to 18 points.

The Lakers started to pick up in the second half, and they also stepped up their offense from the outside, especially with a slight effect on the two-cornered three-pointers.

However, the Lakers' three-point shot is too rudimentary compared to the Runners' three-point strategy, and the Runners use the players' running and cover to play their many pitchers, and as long as the Lakers have a three-pointer, the Runners will respond immediately.

The two sides were evenly matched in the third quarter, but the Runners still used their firepower to stretch the margin to more than 20 points.

After entering the fourth quarter, Lakers head coach Van Laudwee had to send players with better shooting ability, and the team was already showing defeat, but Van Laudwee did not want to give up the game directly, and he was now thinking more about how to study the Runners' tactics more thoroughly.

In the final five minutes of the game, the Lakers were already trailing the Runners by 25 points, at which point Van Laudwey replaced the main lineup and surrendered.

The game ended with a big win for the Runners, and it also proved to the whole league that the whole league is a new team of Runners, who are young but definitely a team with potential and promise.

After the game, the head coach of the Lakers, Van Laudwe, praised Wang Lei and the players of the Runners, he said that Wang Lei is the pioneer of basketball concepts, and the players of the Runners are the pioneers of basketball development.
