Chapter 494: The Wind Is Smooth

"Wang, your team is very good, hopefully today will be a good game."

"I hope so, Mr. Claesson, that your team is just as good and I look forward to more opportunities to talk to you and your team in the future."

"Yes, definitely, you are a very good opponent, I have learned a lot from you and your team, and I will aim to beat your team in the future."

Before the official start of the game, the coaches of the two teams had a routine pre-match exchange.

Although the meaning revealed in Wang Lei's words was very clear, Clayson did not have the slightest anger, he knew that what the other party said was based on the facts of the current reality, and he really had nothing to refute.

After trailing 3-1, even the Heat's management has begun to prepare for next season, which is a fact that Claeson knows very well.

Although the Heat's performance in the Finals is not very good, for Claesson, his head coach position is very solid, and the Heat's top management has made it clear before this game that they will sign Claessen to a long-term contract.

Claesson's ability to take over the Heat mid-season and take a tumultuous team to the Finals speaks volumes about his coaching ability, and the Heat's top brass believe it's in their interest and the team's interest to build a team with Dwyane Wall at its core.

Wall has now received the attention of the league's top management, and many North American businesses are also eyeing this new star with a good image and career, compared to James Hart, who stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals, Dwyane Wall undoubtedly has the potential to become a national idol, and his personality is more mature and stable than James Hart.

At this time, Dwyane Wall, who was in the final warm-up before the game, was surprisingly silent.

The 3-1 score weighed on Wall's heart like a boulder, and he prayed that God would give him strength and courage, but in fact he had no courage in his heart.

After the last game, Wall was actually very disappointed, and he tried his best to defend Turgun in the game, but the result of the game did not satisfy him in the end.

Although Turgun only scored 15 points in the last game, those 15 points completely changed the course of the game, and every time Turgun scored at a crucial moment in the game, and his last shot completely made the Heat lose the confidence to catch up with the score.

In this case, Wall genuinely felt that he really couldn't catch up with his opponent, although for the most part it seemed that Turgun was much thinner than Wall.

Now that the Heat and Wall are on the edge of the cliff together, all they can do is try to suppress the frustration in their hearts and prepare for a game where the results seem to have been revealed.

As the referee tossed the ball high in the center circle, the much-anticipated game officially began.

The Heat undoubtedly have an absolute advantage in jumping balls, not to mention that there is no player in the Runners team who is two meters tall.

The Heat, who had the ball, started the game relatively aggressively today, and they played quickly after they played the ball to Wall on the inside.

Although the Runners formed a defense after that, they could not stop the Heat's interior offense-based play.

However, the Runners' offense did not start the game as it did in the first two games, and although Turgun was still entangled by Wall, Blair took advantage of the low post opportunity to turn and step back to make a jumper to equalize.

The Heat's strategy today is still the same as the last game, Clayson believes that this is the best way to deal with the Runners at the moment, based on defense, to ensure offense, what the Heat need is to be good and limit the opponent, as for the final result, Clayson and the Heat players don't want to think about it now and can't think about it.

In the first two games in Miami, the Runners players were actually slow to get into the game after the start, both of which were when the Heat led the first or even the second quarter, and then the Runners completed the comeback and turned the game from behind.

But back at home today, the mentality of the Runners players is a little more impatient than in the previous two games, but they are in very good form today, with Blair and Sallich both having better hands.

This made the game appear from the beginning of the two teams alternately leading, the double anti-reverse entanglement was very tight, and each other could not pull the score apart.

However, the Runners are more efficient in scoring, after all, they shoot well from the three-point line, while the Heat score more inside or under the basket.

The Runners still use the same tactics as the last game in defense, preferring to let the opponent go inside to score easily than let them take easy shots from the three-point line.

Wang Lei recognized a reality through the last game, that is, it is basically difficult for the Heat team to prevent many scoring points of the Runners, especially the shots on the three-point line.

While a shot from beyond the three-point line can be somewhat unexpected, it is the best and only option for the Runners.

Fortunately, the players of the Runners basically have good shooting ability after nearly a year of tuning by Wang Lei, even the injured center Elvin has reached the range outside the three-point line, and this is the main guarantee that the Runners can lead the Heat by a score of 3-1 in the finals.

The Heat can let Wall stalk Turgon, but they don't have more defenders to stare everyone on the Runners, not to mention that even Wall can't completely stare Turgon, Turgun dares to shoot after the middle circle when he feels it, and there is a certain shooting percentage, who dares to guarantee that such a pitcher will be able to prevent death?

So when the game officially started, the runners, who were in good form and had home advantage, quickly took the lead after a period of stalemate.

This is even more difficult for the Heat to play, because they also know very well that the Runners are extremely good at playing downwind and leading, and once they are ahead, it is really not easy to turn the game around.

Wall was still pestering Turgun today, but he still couldn't let Turgun score a point, and in his only three shots, Turgun scored five points, which gave Wall a very serious sense of frustration, and also made him start to think about whether he should also think about how to improve his outside shots in the future.

It's not that Wall can't shoot three-pointers, it's just that his outside projection stability is extremely poor, and he can hit extremely difficult shots when he is on time, and he may miss shots when he is not available.

With three minutes left in the first quarter, the Runners led the Heat by six points.
