In the ninth minute of the first quarter, the score of the two sides was tied at 33.

For the Runners, Turgun scored 19 points alone, while the Heat's Wall was not to be outdone with 22 points, in addition to four rebounds and three steals.

However, compared to Turgun's consistent nine minutes of zero turnovers, Wall's four individual turnovers in the first quarter to the Runners were somewhat of an eyesore.

From the perspective of the game, it seems that Wall has the upper hand, but if you look at it in detail, it is clear that Turgun is more efficient, he scored 19 points on only 10 shots, while Wall took 15 shots to score 22 points.

In the ninth minute, the two sides began to change their rotation players one after another.

On the Runners' side, Sallihi didn't come off the court, and he had been low-key in the previous game because he knew he wasn't the protagonist of the first quarter.

In the Runners, each player has his or her own clear character attributes.

And Salish himself knew that he was the kind of jack-of-all-trades in the team, and where there were flaws, he needed to make up for them.

When Turgun was about to score, Salish knew he needed to open up space for him and then wait for an opportunity to rush for a rebound, or cover for a teammate, run himself without the ball, and so on.

It sounds like what a role player should do, but if Turgun is out of possession and there is a lack of people on the court who can handle the ball, then Salish has to step up and take charge of the ball, or assist his teammates, or carry the ball to the basket himself.

All in all, Salish knows he is a very important member of his squad, not on par with Turgun or Blair, but he has always been an integral part of the squad.

So, when Turgun started to play against Wall in the first quarter, Salish remained incognito, and he knew his role was back in the second quarter.

Both sides began to change their rotation players, and the Runners gradually took the advantage.

The head coach of the Heat, Claisson, is not very rigid people, and he also put players with better defense in the team's rotation, but in the face of Sallich's continuous "serpentine breakthroughs", the Heat players still do not have a good way to deal with it.

By the end of the first quarter, the Runners had built a five-point lead.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Wall was back on the court, and he had to play, because the core tactical idea of the Heat team today was to let Wall fully play his ability, and now that the team is behind, Wall must step up and contribute to the team.

Generally speaking, even if a professional player is physically fit, in high-intensity confrontations and games, they cannot stay on the court for 48 minutes in a game.

Only in some key games, the team's core players will stay on the field for as long as possible during the game, which will greatly increase the probability of their injury, but this is also the biggest difference between ordinary players and stars.

Walburn didn't have to play at the start of the second quarter, but considering that the team is now behind, which is off from the team's pre-game projections, and the Runners have already brought up the speed, Wall must play to ensure the team's scoring efficiency.

As soon as Wall came out, Francis Leonardo, the point guard on the Runners' bench lineup, was immediately tapped.

Francis is the fastest player on the Runners, and he is also very physical, so he can limit Wall's play slightly to a certain extent.

But Wall, who burst out to his greatest strength, was like a god of slaughter at this time, and he began to wreak havoc on the Runners' defense with a kind of self-defeating momentum during the attack.

And Wall is also outstanding in defense, rushing into the basket many times to make up for Salish, so that Sallihi, who is more than two meters tall, has repeatedly failed to attack.

The Runners' previous five-point lead was wiped out in just two minutes, and the Heat were outscored by five points in the next three minutes.

Wang Lei watched the progress of the game always be as steady as Mount Tai, and he did not have the slightest intention of letting the starters play early.

It wasn't until the sixth minute of the second quarter that Wang Lei began to replace Salish, who had a huge physical exertion, and replaced starters such as Turgun and Blair.

The starters were back on the court, and the Runners immediately began to stabilize the situation, and Turgun came up with two unreasonable three-pointers, and Valles, who was not tall enough, had no way to deal with such shots.

Blair also stepped up his offense in the second quarter, and as Turgun's offense from the outside became smoother, the Heat had to expand their defense, giving Blair a chance to show off his back-to-back skills in the low post.

Wall can rush to grab rebounds in defense, and can also make up for the defense to send a hot pot against the sky, but in the face of Blair's back play full of experience and the taste of old fritters, Wall is a little powerless.

Blair's back-to-body skills are truly one of the best in the league, and although his physical fitness is no longer comparable to his prime, his skills have reached a peak.

Every force is full of temptation and change, every step may be preparing for the shot, Blair gave the young Wall a good lesson called experience, without enough game experience, Wall simply can't see through Blair's virtual and real back steps.

Unlike the Mavericks' sad Bout Cole's back skills, Blair's back skills are more powerful, and with the arrival of Wang Lei, Blair also began to train backward jumpers under the guidance of Wang Lei.

Blair's offense in the low post took a lot of effort away from Wall and gave Turgun and the rest of the Runners a chance to score or kill under the basket.

Toward the end of the second quarter, the Runners re-established a seven-point lead.

In the second half of the second quarter, Blair was extremely prominent, he hit all six shots in these six minutes, and also relied on free throws to get three points, and the half quarter of the game brushed up to 15 points, Blair gave Wall a feeling that ginger is still old and spicy.

At the end of the first quarter, they were still five points behind the Runners, and in the second quarter, the Heat, who had seen hope, were led by the opponent by seven points, which made the whole Heat team have a strong sense of frustration.
