Chapter 360: The True Core

After hearing Richard's sarcastic and even discriminatory language about himself, Wang Lei didn't feel much angry, but what made him feel a little magical was that it seemed that there was such a person called "Big Mouth" in the NBA of every time and space, but compared to the "Big Mouth" Barkley who was quite responsible in the earth's time and space, the current Richard seemed a little obscene and low-level.

In fact, the reason why Bigg Richard dared to make such a bold statement was completely to rub the heat of the Runners, which is actually not without precedent in the NBA, but it is Bigg Richard who is so bold.

Bigg Richard has actually been going downhill before, he originally did a good job of doing his own show on the "North American Sports Television Network", although it was not enough, but it was also a show with very stable ratings, but at that time Bigg Richard was not satisfied with the status quo, he wanted to make himself more famous, so Bigg Richard would try to go to the Knicks as a head coach later.

At that time, the Knicks were actually a strong team in the East, and for his own appointment, Bigg Richard kept attacking Neil Frye, the head coach of the Knicks at the time, for not being bloody, and he also joined forces with the center who was by the Knicks at the time to put pressure on Neil Frye.

As a "celebrity" who once won a championship in the Knicks, Bigg Richard still has a very high status in the Knicks, and in the end he squeezed out Neil Frye and sat on the throne of the head coach of the Knicks, but only three months later he was swept away by the Knicks owner because of his poor performance in leading the team.

BigRichard probably puts all of his talent in the mouth, and his coaching level seems to be even worse than he thought.

After being swept away by the Knicks, Bigg Richard has been going downhill, his show's ratings have declined, and his influence on the Knicks has also declined a lot, and many fans in New York have begun to boycott this big-mouthed Richard, who brought the original Eastern powerhouse into the current "star graveyard".

Bigg Richard, who has gone downhill, has finally found a new way out after the beginning of this season, the Runners are now rising strongly, and the league will definitely give a lot of support, at this time, if you stand up and fight with the Runners, it is likely that you can not only get attention, but also get the recognition of the league, yes, that's right, it is the recognition of the league, in the history of the league, their means of operation are always fixed, and when they pick up a team, they will also set up an object on the opposite side of the team, In this way, after the enthusiastic hype, the fans and spectators will pay attention to it.

I have to say that Bigger's vision is really good, although he has made a lot of mistakes before, but this time after a long summary, Richard did seize this opportunity, he keenly saw through the idea of the alliance, and at the same time made timely actions.

However, the big-mouthed Richard only didn't expect Wang Lei's status in the Runners to be high, nor did he expect that Francis, the owner of the Runners, would attach so much importance to Wang Lei, an Oriental, or that Richard fundamentally misestimated the core of the entire Runners, this core is not Blair Bowman, nor the extremely outstanding Turgon, let alone Francis, who is the new owner of the team, but Wang Lei, who the media does not pay much attention to at all.

It can be said that the entire Runners team was rebuilt with Wang Lei as the core, it was he who selected the existing players for the team and made large-scale trades, and it was he who turned this previously known defensive underdog into such an iconic team with the banner of attack in just a few months.

So after the loud-mouthed Richard's clamor appeared, the first to defend Wang Lei was Francis and all the players on the Runners.

They left messages on their respective social media, refuting the clamor of Richard, and at the same time stating that they would stand with Wang Lei, and the future runners will prove to everyone that their style of play is the right direction for the development of basketball.

However, Wang Lei himself didn't pay attention to the loud-mouthed Richard's clamor at all, in Wang Lei's opinion, instead of letting this guy touch his own light, it was better to simply ignore it and let this guy's wishful thinking fail.

So when the Runners' sixth regular season game kicked off at home, Wang Lei did not respond to any questions from reporters about Big Mouth Richard.

After playing three consecutive road games, the Runners' first opponent back home was the Los Angeles Lakers.

After the Dallas Mavericks completely fell apart, the Los Angeles Lakers, who hated the Western Conference finals last season, naturally became the favorites to win the Western Conference this season, and with their return from injury at the inside and outside core, the Lakers also played well after the start of the regular season.

The Lakers are now at the top of the league with five straight wins, while the Runners are now second in the West with four wins and one loss, so this game is getting the attention of the whole league, and many other teams want to see the true strength of the Runners through this game.

After the start of the game, the Lakers did not underestimate the enemy, they played very teamly, the defense was also very tight, and the cooperation between the inside and outside also played the desired effect.

However, it is a pity that the Lakers have encountered a team of runners who have already made great strides on the path of self-growth, and their form may have been up and down, but after playing the feeling, they have shown extremely tough.

Three-pointers, all kinds of three-pointers, the entire Runners implemented the three-point strategy to the extreme in the first quarter of the game, and the other players on the inside except for Elvin Butler alone were shooting three-pointers.

And what makes the Lakers even more desperate is that every player on the Runners seems to have been transformed, and their three-point shots are not only resolute, but also have a high shooting percentage.

The Runners made 17 three-pointers in the entire first quarter and hit 10 of them, a percentage that is absolutely rare in league history, and no team has ever dared to shoot a three-pointer like the current Runners.

The Lakers lost to the Runners by a full 10 points in the first quarter, and they were scared by the Runners in the second half of the first quarter and had to expand their defense, which gave Blair Bowman a good opportunity to break through.

Turgun made four three-pointers in the quarter, along with four assists and two steals, and the Lakers' point guard Charles Mobley is still a veteran point guard in the league, but he underestimated the strength of the skinny-looking Oriental, and Turgun used his dexterity and accurate judgment to make Charles Mobley suffer a lot.
