Chapter 372: The Law (I)

"I won't say anything about the game anymore, remember our rules, it doesn't matter what the result is, but I want to see that you play according to the rules."

In the visiting locker room at Verizon Center, the Sacramento Kings made their final preparations before the game.

Wang Lei said the above words to the players rarely, which sounded completely contrary to his previous tactical thinking, Wang Lei used to want the players to play more flexibly on the field, but now it sounds like he has made strict requirements for the players.

"Guys, I think that barbarian will hate us for the rest of his life after this game, of course, if he really knows that this is the coach's arrangement, he will probably hate Stone even more."

Salish showed no signs of restlessness in the match, instead he seemed relaxed and seemed to have the game in his hands.

Sallich is a player with a lot of experience, after all, and he knows that this game has attracted a lot of attention, and at this time he needs to adjust the mood of the younger players as the team's "old player".

Turgun doesn't mind Salehi stealing his own work, after Blair Bowman retired from injury, he was the real core of the team, but due to personality limitations, Salehi is more suitable to be the captain of the team, and Turgun himself knows this, as long as the team is internally stable, in fact, Turgun doesn't care about these things at all, he pays more attention to the victory or defeat of the game and the final glory.

Salehi's words resonated with many runner players, although they are not very clear about the specific effect of Wang Lei's "special" tactical rule, but as long as people with long brains know that if they really use this "law", then even if the Wizards win the game in the end, it is estimated that James Hart, the "savage" in Salehi's mouth, will be particularly depressed.

As the third largest arena in the NBA league, the Verizon Center arena has been in use for more than 20 years, and this arena can accommodate more than 20,000 people to watch the game together, but it has never been full since he was put into use, because the Wizards have never reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and their farthest time is only to reach the second round of the playoffs, so this has also led to the lack of popularity of this arena, but since James Hart joined, the attendance of this arena has begun to soar, Today's high-profile match sparked a fan craze, with Verizon Arena filling up for the first time.

James Hart looked at the Runners players on the other side of the pitch with interest, he looked at it, and then shook his head, this is a contempt for the opponent who is not powerful, after all, the Runners have no player in terms of size and can threaten James Hart.

After the warm-up, as the referee tossed the ball high, this new type of East-West team matchup between the Runners and the Wizards officially began.

The Wizards' center is the tallest active player in the NBA league, Peter Mawakhovski, and the white Polish-American player is 2.20 meters tall, a full section taller than Runners center Erwin, so he won comfortably despite his slow bounce on the ball.

Wizards point guard Harris Delvett grabbed the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

James Hart slowly ran to the weak side of his teammate Harris, and after more than a dozen regular season games, James has found his own unique rhythm of play, and he also uses his rhythm to influence his teammates.

Harris didn't dribble the ball much and hoisted it straight into the hands of Peter Mawakhovski, who was on the inside.

The head coach of the Wizards, Santos Cowen, thinks that he is a very smart coach, so he will never miss his team's advantage on the inside in this game, so before the game, Santos asked the Wizards players to play inside at the beginning, so that they can not only quickly have an advantage, but also provide enough space for James Hart to play later.

However, to everyone's surprise on the Wizards, the Runners did not wrap up Peter Mawakhovski, who got the ball inside, as they thought, but instead the Runners let Ervin defend alone, but the Runners on the weak side James Hart made a strict defensive posture.

The Runners' response is really unreasonable, after all, everyone can see that the Wizards have an absolute advantage on the inside at this time, and this is not a bag to let Peter Mavachowski score casually!

The Pole who got the ball hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly smug in his heart, after all, if the Runners didn't cover him, it meant that Peter could be very comfortable brushing the data.

Peter Mawakhovski, who was secretly happy, carried some Elvin Butler on his back, and then took advantage of his height to shoot directly half-turned.

Although Peter Mawakhovski has always been a poor player, he still played easily against Irwin, a rookie who was weaker than his height and strength.

Elvin Butler's physicality is good among rookies, but it's still a lot worse than the league-trained veterans.

The Wizards, who got off to a good start, quickly retreated to the halfcourt, but they knew how fast the Runners could be on a comeback.

However, thanks to the presence of Peter Mawakhovski, the Wizards had to deal with a four-on-five situation when Turgun drove across the halfcourt.

The self-described "smart" Wizards head coach Santos only thinks about his advantage on the inside, but ignores the true attributes of the opponent Runners, who are now playing in a way that fits their team name very well.

Turgon, who quickly advanced to the frontcourt, changed direction in succession and then used Elvin Butler's cover to kill the inside, and then James Hart on the weak side came up to cover the ball and passed the ball to the bottom corner Salich, Salich did not hesitate to shoot directly for three points, but unfortunately his three points were slightly larger, and the ball bounced off the basket and flew high.

James Hart pressed Elvin Butler to grab the rebound and then dribble the ball forward, but he didn't dare to bring up the pace, after all, his team's pace is really not suitable for this kind of fast-paced offense.

James Hart dribbled the ball to the front court, handed it to point guard Harris, and then continued to run to the weak side, but the Runners players around him kept it defending.

Harris hoisted the ball into the hands of Peter Mawakhovski again, and this time the Pole was even more daring, giving rookie Erwin a show of his foot, shaking off Irvin and dunking with a one-handed dunk.

The Runners continued their previous defensive mode, staring at James Hart on the weak side while letting the rest of the Wizards play casually, which made many people watching this game puzzled.
