Chapter 480: Physical Superiority

In fact, according to the start of this game, the Heat have a certain advantage, after all, they got a win on the road in the previous game, and more importantly, they seem to have found the trick of the opposing runners.

Coupled with the fact that the Runners' starting center retired injured after the game, it was basically a reimbursement for last season, so the Heat played with momentum after the start of the first game at home today, and they did take the lead and dominate after the game started.

But no one thought that the Runners, who had almost no interior line, could play so tenaciously, and their outside shooting ability did not decrease under the Heat's tight defense, on the contrary, Turgun played an extremely efficient performance.

Especially the ball before the end of the first half, in just six seconds, the Runners actually completed an almost extreme coordination, each of their players made the most correct choice when they encountered difficulties, and Turgun also used his "big heart" to teach the Heat players, especially Wall, a good lesson.

Wall's performance is indeed amazing, but one of his biggest flaws is that his outside shooting ability is extremely inconsistent, he can shoot extremely difficult step-back three-pointers, but he can also shoot open threes when unguarded.

This is not seen in Turgon, no matter what the situation, Turgun can almost guarantee a three-point shooting rate of more than 50%, and in many cases more than 60%, which once caused a lot of headaches for the Heat players and many Runners opponents, because they did not dare to give Turgun any chance in the whole game, which is actually very difficult to do.

After the start of the second half, the head coach of the Heat did not dare to let Turgun shoot like this, because the current leader is the Runners, and if Turgun continues to maintain a high shooting percentage like this, it will make the Heat more and more difficult in the next games.

Although Valles still controls the ball on the field, I have to say that he is actually doing a good job, but in defense he no longer defends Turgon, but lets Wall defend, and Wall will not be overhead by Turgon.

Claesson's adjustments played a role, and Turgun was pestered by Wall after the start of the third quarter.

However, Clayson still underestimated the Runners' ability to adjust, and after only one offense and defense, Turgon, who was originally in possession of the ball, took the initiative to give up possession, ran without the ball and took Wall around blindly and let Salish continue to attack Valles.

After sending away Turgon, who was slightly taller than him, Valais, who originally thought he would perform something, ran into Salish, who was a full head taller than him, which made Valais depressed and wanted to vomit blood.

Compared to Turgon's rhythmic and varied-based breakthroughs, Salish's breakthrough against Valais is even more unreasonable, relying on his height and weight of more than forty pounds above Valles, Salish rarely finds the pleasure of breaking through Valles, you must know that many times Salish has to rely on varied European steps or serpentine breakthroughs to break through other opponents.

It's true that the Runners are almost defenseless on the inside, but their efficient offense on the outside has made up for their shortcomings both defensively and inside.

Klaesson's good calculations were in danger of turning the game around, and he had to replace Valles after less than three minutes of play in the third quarter.

Along with Valles, he was replaced by high school forward Corey Ryder, a tall center who is two meters and six meters tall and has nothing but a faster movement, and his basic skills are not even half of Irwin's, who has just entered the league for less than a year, and his relatively good movement speed has become a drag on the Heat in the current game.

Claessen continued to switch to the smaller lineup for the second half of the first half, and then the two teams returned to parity.

The Heat relied on Wall's individual ability to maintain impact and scoring, while the Runners' constant exchange of possession allowed them to maintain a high level of efficiency on offense.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Runners made adjustments ahead of the Heat, Wang Lei took into account the physical problems of Sallich, Blair and Turgun and others, no matter how full the physical reserves of the Runners were, now the game has reached the finals, and the physical condition of the players has reached a limit, and the reason why Erwin is injured is actually because the physical load has exceeded the standard.

So now Wang Lei has to consider other people's physical strength and physical factors, and the current runner team can no longer let anyone get injured, because once someone in the three cores is injured, it means that the defeat of the entire finals is decided.

Wang Lei first replaced Turgun and Salli, who played the longest time in the first half, Blair did not play much after the start of the third quarter, more in response, and the Runners also need a stable person on the court.

At this time, the Runners still led the Heat by nine points, and they relied on Sallich to force Valles to take advantage of it at the beginning of the third quarter.

Seeing that the Runners took the initiative to replace the core players, Clayson naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, and he reacted almost immediately after Wang Lei made adjustments.

Wall, who had been playing shooting guard, returned to possession of the ball, and two "3-and-D" players were also replaced, and the Heat needed to chase points and suppress the Runners' offense.

Klaesen's tweaks worked well, and the Heat came off a climax in the second half of the third quarter, with Wall's burst points allowing him to diash out six assists in less than six minutes, adding five points to his own account.

The Runners' nine-point advantage in the first half of the third quarter was wiped out by the Heat's offensive surge, and by the end of the third quarter, the Heat had outscored the Runners by three points.

Wang Lei has an estimate of such a change, he knows that this is an inevitable result, and this is a small "trap" he set up for the Heat team.

The Runners lost their lead in the second half of the third quarter, but their three cores were given a rare chance to rest, while the Heat, despite Wall's youth and strength, had played the full third quarter of the game, with a short break of less than three minutes.

It can be said that after entering the fourth quarter, the runners have occupied the most basic advantage in a sense - physical advantage.

Wang Lei brought the outcome of this game back to the most basic conditions of a competitive sports athlete, who can run more, or who can run longer.
