After two consecutive home games, the Runners were in the next three Eastern Conference away games, and after the loss to the Miami Heat, the Runners didn't have time to rest as they played back-to-back games against the Milwaukee Bucks.

It was the first back-to-back away games of the season for the brand-new young team.

From the sunny Caribbean coast to the rainy west shore of Lake Michigan, the Runners are as gloomy as the weather in Milwaukee, whether it's the change in weather or the impact of their last loss.

Although it was only a defeat, the impact on the runners was huge, especially for these young people who were just building up a little bit of confidence, and after such a humiliating defeat, their emotions did fluctuate a lot.

Blair Bowman also has a lot of dissatisfaction with the game just ended, the first point is the referee's penalty scale, he is a veteran player who has experienced the rights and wrongs of the league, and knows that even at home, the Miami Heat should indeed be taken care of, but not so much.

In the last game against the Heat, Blair was whistled for fouls several times in normal movements, and even whistled for offensive fouls on two occasions, which is definitely rare in a normal game, which ultimately led to Blair committing six fouls in less than 25 minutes.

Secondly, Blair has some opinions about the instability of the team's young players, and after the previous three wins, Blair Bowman was very happy, because he felt that he might be able to hope for a championship glory in his career.

So he felt that he should play harder, but who would have thought that he had just wanted to show his role, but the team suffered such a defeat.

Regardless of his own problems, the young players didn't show the form of the first three in the game against the Heat, and they were intimidated by the Heat's tight defense and backed down when faced with difficult situations.

The stubborn Blair is very dissatisfied with the disadvantage of young players, and he wants every one of his teammates to fight like a warrior on the field.

This may be the reason for the Indian ancestry of Blair Bowman, whose maternal grandmother was of Indian descent, and Blair Bowman grew up with his maternal grandmother.

Wang Lei didn't say much about the team's first defeat, he knew that the only way for this team to go to glory is the difficulties that every growing young person will encounter, no one is born to cope with big scenes or difficulties, they are gradually growing up in continuous failures, and now the key is how to let young people adapt to this failure as soon as possible, because in the future, this kind of failure will come one after another, Wang Lei knows that his tactics are not omnipotent, and the tacit understanding between players is not enough, It simply didn't work out exactly what he wanted.

Therefore, taking advantage of the little time before the start of back-to-back games, Wang Lei is ready to make a small summary of the players, firstly, to encourage some young players who have just experienced failure, and secondly, to clarify the direction for future development.

'We didn't play well in the last game, it's a very obvious fact and we have to admit our shortcomings, including myself, and I apologise for the bad adjustment in the last game, because I didn't do my part when the team was in crisis, it was my mistake and my flaw.

At the beginning, Wang Lei first depreciated himself, this is a routine he has used in the past, for young players, they are estimated to rarely encounter a coach like him who dares to admit his mistakes, although the purpose does not sound so simple, but for young players, this strange means is very effective.

"I have to admit that I'm also an inexperienced guy, and I've even experienced fewer NBA games than you, so I hope that in the future, everyone can give me a clear hint when I make mistakes, and if the opinion is good, I don't think I will refuse to use it."

"Okay, after talking about my mistakes, then let's talk about your shortcomings, in the last game, I saw a group of shy losers, a group of frustrated people who are not confident enough in themselves."

"What are you worried about? What are you afraid of? Afraid that you'll be beaten back after a normal regular season defeat? Or is it the fear that your abilities are imaginary, and then you will wake up after a failure? ”

"When the team is in trouble, you back down, you're worried that you won't be able to shoot, you're worried that you're going to be substituted for too many fouls, you're even worried that you're not shooting from the field, that's not the player I want."

After self-depreciation, there was another storm-like reprimand, although Wang Lei usually seems very gentle and elegant, but at this time, he also needs to show his domineering side.

"Basketball, after all, you need to throw it to know whether you can score or not, and when you get to the game, if you are always worried about this and that, then you can't focus on the game at all, and you can't show the ability you should have."

"I want every one of my players to be responsible, he can step up when the team is in trouble, even if he doesn't make ten shots, as long as he can get eleven, I think this is a qualified player, and those who are on the court for fear of lowering their shooting percentage and never shoot are not in my plan."

"You don't have to worry about people being dissatisfied with your rash shots, first of all, I'm not that kind of person, as long as you can run like you did in training, I don't care if you shoot twenty or thirty in a game, I will reuse you, and I believe that Blair as captain will not worry about you stealing the ball from him, with him, you can get more shots than usual, without him, the situation will be like the last game."

After an in-depth explanation, many players finally had a positive response, at least Blair Bowman has a new understanding of Wang Lei's coaching ability, and he now feels that Wang Lei may really be the coach who can take him to the top with the team.

On the side of the young players, they were also stimulated by Wang Lei's words, indeed as Wang Lei said, some of them are indeed a little timid, they are worried that they will be abandoned by the team once their performance is not good, after all, they are all players who have been discriminated against in various teams before, they cherish their hard-won "job" very much, and it is precisely because of this that they are a little shrunken on the field.

But now, with Wang Lei's explanation, most people understand what the future direction of the team is, and they also know how to deal with the future games.
