Although the Runners have shocked the entire league and the world basketball world this season, the fact is that they are not completely flawless, and the interior alone has indeed become a major flaw for them.

Even after Elvin Butler's rapid growth, his height problem could easily make rebounding a lethal problem for the Runners.

At the beginning of the team, Wang Lei didn't think about finding a core insider, but at that time, the team had confirmed that he wanted to keep Blair, after all, it would be much easier to manage the team with him in Wang Lei.

Although it is not a problem to have a double core with Francis Leonard's net worth, Wang Lei does not think so, he believes that it is enough to have one or two players with the highest salary in the team, and there is no need to hoard so many stars in the team.

And at that time, the Runners had been completely flattened by the entire league and the North American basketball world, and no one would think that the Runners were a promising team, even if they wanted to be a "chicken head" in the weak team, but in the case of Blair, there would probably not be an inside star to the Runners.

In fact, at the beginning of the season, even before the season officially began, basically all the interior blue-collar players with certain abilities already had owners, and the most of them were a fully middle-class contract, which shows how much importance the entire league team attached to the interior at that time.

Wang Lei really didn't want to suffer this loss when he looked at the contract that was not much different from the bad contract in his eyes, so he simply let the rookie Erwin go on top, so that he could train this young man.

Since then, Wang Lei has determined the team's outside-based style of play, and also emphasized the importance of rushing to grab rebounds to the players.

Now that they have reached the finals, in fact, it is not that no team has attacked the interior of the runners, but they basically did not pose much threat to the runners, the reason why this is so is because these teams basically do not have too strong offensive firepower, they have outstanding internal strength, but they can't withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the runners, and then the rhythm of the whole team is deviated by the runners, how can they pose a threat to the runners' interior?

After the first half of the game, Wang Lei himself had more than sixty percent confidence in winning today's game, but after the third quarter of the game gradually began, his confidence began to decrease little by little.

The Heat team still maintained the first half of the game, Wall still continued to impact the Runners' defense, attacking from the outside in, which seemed very difficult and laborious, but as the referee's whistle continued to sound, Wang Lei finally realized that he seemed to underestimate the determination of the Heat team and Wall's strong willpower.

Every offense of the Heat team is basically launched at the point of Wall, and then finished at his point, Wang Lei specially formulated a defensive strategy for the team at halftime for this characteristic.

After the start of the third quarter of the game, Wang Lei found that the defensive strategy he formulated had become a flaw that the opponent could take advantage of.

Wall leaned on the body of the Runners defenders unscrupulously in the offense, and then tried to know the shooting opportunities, and the referees would not take too much care of the home team in this situation, after all, this was the second game of the finals, and the leading team was the Runners, so the rhythm of the whole game began to slow down, and the intensity of the game gradually increased.

The first half of the game was full of physical confrontation and contact, but it was not comparable to the third quarter, when Elvin Butler was charged with his fourth personal foul and Blair Bowman was charged with his fourth personal foul less than four minutes into the third quarter.

After half a quarter, the Runners were already full of fouls, and if there were more fouls, the Heat could immediately go to the free throw line.

As the level of physical confrontation increased, the Runners' shooting percentage from the outside has decreased, and even Turgon's shooting percentage has dropped to about 50%, after all, Valles used three fouls on Turgun in the first half of the third quarter alone, plus one in the first half, the Heat's Valles also committed four fouls.

These three vicious fouls sparked the anger in Turgon's heart, but they did reduce Turgun's shooting percentage, and the Heat took advantage of the opponent's declining shooting percentage to narrow the gap to two points, and tied and overtook the score in the eighth minute of the third quarter.

Wang Lei had to call a timeout to make adjustments at this time, he knew that his team was already in danger in this game.

Although it seems that the Runners still have an advantage from the scene, insiders are well aware of how dangerous the situation of the Runners is.

The interior players have been saddled with three or four fouls from the starter to the bench, and Blair, the most powerful defender on the perimeter, has also been saddled with four fouls.

Wall, who has a double-double of 38 points and 11 rebounds, as well as five steals and five assists, has nearly single-handedly brought down the Runners' entire defense.

In the face of such a situation, Wang Lei actually can't come up with a good way, what he can do is to make the team's rhythm speed up again, but the premise is that the opponent has to make mistakes.

If the Heat continue to play like this, it will be difficult for the Runners to find a comeback because they don't have anyone to use on the interior now.

Of course, Wang Lei can also use a pure short lineup, but this will put the team at an absolute disadvantage in rebounding.

No matter how aggressive the outside players are in grabbing rebounds, as long as the Heat's interior does not make mistakes themselves, it is generally ineffective, and if they force the fight to the contrary, they will cause their own fouls to a large extent.

After the timeout, Wang Lei had to change to a small lineup to deal with the game at this time, but the effect was surprisingly obvious, and the Heat began to frequently use secondary offense and frontcourt rebounding to control the situation of the entire game.

By the end of the third quarter, the Runners had trailed the Heat by six points.

Entering the fourth quarter, Turgun fired to keep the Runners alive, but Wall showed no weakness and hit a two-and-one in a row, which not only allowed Erwin, who had just come on the court, to carry his fifth foul, but also allowed himself to score more than 45 points.

At the end of the fourth quarter, Irvin and Blair were sent off one after another, and Wall scored a new playoff high of 53 points, and the Runners lost the home game 117-109.
