Chapter 350: Lightning Strikes Back
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome the next player to play, Mr. Rabbit from the Orient, who plays with sights and computers, Tu-Ergon."
Fordson White, DJ at Energy Balance Arena, has been working here for 20 years, and in the past 20 years, his voice has always been full of passion, but his mood has never been as excited as his voice, after all, the team he loves has never had too good results, which has made Fordson have always been very faceless in front of his family, you know, as a veteran of the Kings, his family is fans of other teams, which has always made Fordson angry.
But when the new team renamed the Runners finished the preseason, Fordson began to find his own excitement, although he is nearly half a hundred years old, but Fordson also likes the current team's passionate style of play, accurate three-pointers, unpredictable offense, and the offensive speed that has made Forderson beyond imagination, all of which made Forderson excited, and his family began to change their views on the Runners, at least his wife began to like the Runners, Although Fordersen knew that his wife liked only Salish and Turgon's looks.
After eight games in the pre-season, Saata fans have a new understanding of this new team of runners, regardless of the team's results in the future, at least their current style of play is very attractive, no one wants to go to the stadium to watch the dull two-hour game, they are very fond of the very fast-paced style of play of the runners.
Turgun is the penultimate player to play today, which is recognized by the whole team of the Runners, after all, the importance of Turgun to the team is undoubted, as for Turgon's "rabbit" nickname, it was known to the players of the Runners when Wang Lei was used to it, and then it was spread out and reported by the media in Sagar, and Turgon's playing style is also quite like a rabbit, which makes him called "Mr. Rabbit" by many fans in Saulton.
Turgon's appearance sparked cheers from many fans in the arena, and now he has basically won the recognition of the Saskatchewan fans, many fans are very interested in Turgon's accurate projection ability, and there are also many people looking forward to watching the Trail Blazers' jokes today, who called Turgun in the Trail Blazers is not valued at all.
As the game was about to begin, Stiles Burney, a rookie who played for the Kings last season and was heavily used by the team, did not come to the Runners' side to say hello, instead facing the game with a haughty expression.
The reason why Stiles has emotions about the Kings is actually due to the conflict between him and Blair Bowman, who was selected by the Kings as a rookie, and then was reused by the head coach of the Kings at that time, the purpose was to seize power with Blair Bowman, but later with the change of ownership of the Kings, Stiles was traded, but he was only exchanged for a little-known Oriental, which made Stiles very dissatisfied, he felt that this was the Kings looking down on him and an insult to him.
Stiles, who is now coming to the Trail Blazers, is also heavily used by the head coach, and with the injury of Brent, the core of the Trail Blazers, Stiles immediately became the new core of the Trail Blazers, so in this game with his old club, Stiles is full of confidence to prove himself, and also prove how bad the Kings' vision is.
The game officially began, and Stiles, who was in a strange mood, easily defeated Runners rookie Elvin Butler in a jump ball.
The Trail Blazers pushed to the frontcourt, and Stiles immediately asked for a low post, and his weight and height were a little stronger than Elvin Butler's, which made him stand in the low post all of a sudden.
The Trail Blazers point guard immediately hoisted the ball into the hands of Stiles on the inside, which is the consistent tactic of the Trail Blazers, first suppressing the opponent with the strength of the inside, and then using defense and efficient offense to destroy the opponent's confidence, although Brent is not on the court now, but the players of the Trail Blazers know that if they come nonsense, coach Lawrence will definitely go crazy.
After Stiles received the ball, Massan showed his strong side, carrying Erwin with his back and then directly using the power of Erwin's forward push to turn around and dunk.
Although the runners' bag was formed, Stiles's footwork was perfect, not only shaking off Erwin, but also dodging the bag that Turgun brought up.
The Trail Blazers took the lead and got off to a good start.
Stiles excitedly walked towards his own half, he was beaming with pride, feeling that he had let the Runners see how powerful he was, but at this moment, he noticed that his teammates' faces changed abruptly, and then one by one they accelerated to retreat.
Without waiting for Stiles to look back, he only felt a gust of wind blow around him, and then he saw that the Runners' No. 3 in the dark blue jersey had already crossed the halfway.
Turgun came to the Runners and wore the number three jersey, which he used when he was with the Frontier Youth Team, but with the Trail Blazers, Turgun did not have the right to choose his own number.
Turgun wasn't the fastest Runners on the counter-attack, and it was Salehi who was the quickest to react at the front, who was running towards the Trail Blazers' half of the court almost as soon as Stiles completed his dunk.
The Trail Blazers players didn't expect the Runners to be so fast on the counter-attack, almost so fast that they couldn't react.
Turgun, who rushed past halfcourt, did not continue to dribble the ball, but passed the ball to Salish, who was running towards the bottom right corner of the Trail Blazers half.
The Trail Blazers are a team that can reach the Western Conference semifinals last season, and their defense is indeed very good, although they were a little caught off guard by this counterattack, but as soon as Salich received the ball, there were already Trail Blazers players who came up to defend it.
However, Salish didn't pause, he directly passed the ball back to Turgun again, and then ran along the baseline towards the Trail Blazers' interior line.
At this time, the Trail Blazers' defense was basically in place, and behind Turgon, the Trail Blazers' point guard immediately followed.
After Turgun received the ball, he passed the ball with one hand, this time the pass was fast and fierce, so that the Trail Blazers had no time to make defensive moves, and Salish, who rushed to the inside line along the baseline, immediately slowed down to receive the ball, and when the Trail Blazers center came up to make up the defense, Salich received the ball without the slightest pause and threw the ball directly into the air.
Blair Bowman was a genius in the middle, and the Trail Blazers' defense had been completely disrupted by two passes from Sallich and Turgon, and Blair in the middle only needed to catch the ball in the air and slam it into the basket.
A perfect triangle and a dizzying counter-attacking goal, the entire Trail Blazers team has done their defense to the extreme, but they still can't stop the Runners' thunderous and lightning attack.
