"Give him to me!"

This is what Blair Bowman said to Wang Lei and his teammates in the tactical set-up before the Runners' game against the Wizards.

The Runners players and Wang Lei know exactly who Blair Bowman means by "he".

But they did not expect that Blair would have such thoughts and demands at this time.

Since Blair's comeback, he has been basically the team's attacking core, but this core exists more as an endpoint.

Everyone on the Runners is interested in helping the team's meritorious player go higher, so after his return, Blair has rarely defended the opponent's offensive core, and he has spent almost all of his energy on scoring.

But now in such a high-profile game, Blair Bowman still showed his sense of responsibility and commitment as the captain of the team, and he took the initiative to stand up and say that he wanted to target James Hart.

This is not that Blair Bowman wants to prove his ability, he was actually the best defensive player in the Kings lineup at that time before Wang Lei's arrival, and his defensive ability has also been recognized by the whole league, and he has been selected for the best defensive second team in the regular season three times, if it were not for the Kings' results, maybe Blair could have won the title of the best defensive player very early.

And when James Hart just said that he was going to participate in the draft, some professionals said that James Hart's template was Blair Bowman, but everyone didn't expect James Hart's physical fitness and basketball skills to be better than people imagined, which is the main reason why several teams were rotten together at the end of last season.

For Blair Bowman's request, Wang Lei finally agreed after thinking about it, no matter whether Blair can prevent James Hart in the end, at least his attitude should be supported, which is much better than the attitude of only thinking about scoring and brushing data, and not caring about the team's life or death.

The Runners' new arena has already begun to be put into construction, which has made many fans have more expectations for the team, but in the next two to three years, the Runners will continue to fight at the Energy Balance Arena, but next season, the name of the stadium will be changed to Anning Arena, because next season, the stadium title sponsor of the Runners will be changed to Anning Group from the Republic.

The Wizards came to Sausa City for victory, they are now the first in the East, but they are as many as three wins behind the Runners, and two wins behind the Lakers, the Wizards who have been in the belly for many years are not willing to just be the first in the East, their ambitions are greater, or James Hart's ambitions are greater, he not only wants to be the best rookie, even the regular season MVP James Hart wants to get involved.

The all-American game kicks off at 7 p.m. local time in Sauzawa.

The Wizards were worried that the two-meter-20 Pole would not be able to keep up with the speed of the Runners, so they did not start him, but let John Larsson, who has no defects in his movement speed, as the starting center.

After the "Friends Wife" incident, John Larson was silent for a long time, he knew that he couldn't be too high-profile now, which would even affect his future prospects, and he didn't want to retire early, so under the cold treatment of the league, John Larson honestly served rookie James Hart as the second-in-command.

John Larsson had intended to use a feint to shake the runners' Erwin when he jumped the ball, but the stunned-looking Erwin was unmoved, and he jumped at his own pace to win the jump ball.

It was Elwin's first time, and the first time this season for the Runners, to win a jump ball at the start of the regular season, and many Sachsa fans even cheered excitedly, which was really a rare sight.

Erwin's ball was snatched up by Salich with his speed, and although Salish's confrontation was not good, his reaction speed was second only to Turgun in the team.

The Runners, who won possession, did not start the fast break directly, instead they slowly advanced to the front court to settle in a positional battle, and Salish also handed the ball to Turgon.

Turgun dribbled to the defense of Wizards point guard Harris Delvett, Harris was very serious and did not dare to be careless, and now all point guards in the league have to be extremely careful when defending Turgon.

However, to the surprise of the Wizards players and the Sachusetts fans in attendance, Turgun did not continue to dribble the ball, but instead hoisted the ball into the hands of Elvin Butler, who was stealing the position with John Larsson in the low post.

The rest of the Runners immediately opened up the space and showed signs of letting Erwin single out John Larsson.

The scene on the court was incomprehensible to the fans of Saucas, and the players of the Wizards were a little stunned, and John Larson was even more embarrassed, he felt that he was underestimated by the Runners, and he actually let such an unknown rookie single him out.

John Larson, who was emotional, suddenly stepped up, intending to give Elvin Butler a little color directly in front of him.

But to John Larsson's surprise, Irvine was very solid in his lower handicap, he took the ball with his back, and then turned sharply in the direction of John Larsson's power.

John Larsson didn't expect the rookie of the Runners to have such a solid foundation, taking the ball, and turning in one go, and then he was left behind by Erwin.

Breaking free from John Larson's defense, Erwin didn't continue to get to the basket, but instead made a jumper that arced high enough past James Hart's fingertips before hitting the board and falling into the net.

A little-known rookie singled out the two core defenses of the Wizards, and this scene directly made the fans of Sausa City climax.

Butler has been the subject of criticism since he was drafted with a high pick by the Runners, and even many fans in Saskata believe that the rest of the Runners are okay, but Irvin seems to be a little less in line with his draft pick.

However, what many people don't know is how much potential this young man who has been regarded by Wang Lei as the team's starting center forward, Wang Lei even feels that Ervin Butler's potential is not weaker than Turgon, this player's foundation is too solid, he may not be the kind of player who can make people shine, but Wang Lei knows that in the near future, Erwin is definitely another cornerstone of the team.
