Chapter 486: The Continued Balance of Power

Although the Heat are still in the lead for the time being, their slight lead is basically no different from a draw in the face of the Runners' strong outside firepower, and when the Runners have an acceleration and momentum, the Heat are relatively at a disadvantage, so Clason's timeout at this time is very timely.

However, Claesson, who was in the midst of a timeout, did not say a word to the players, and he did hesitate whether to lock up Turgun or the rest of the Runners.

There are only these two paths in front of Klaeson now, Turgon's threat goes without saying, the result of the last game is completely enough to explain everything, this young point guard is not only the assist king in the regular season this season, but also has the scoring ability of no less than any super scorer, so for Klaeson and the Heat, Turgun is a huge threat and is a figure that must be guarded against.

As for the rest of the Runners, Blair and Salehi have a bad hand and can only rush inside or attack in the low post, which at least gives the Heat a measure to prevent, if these two are also open on the outside, then the Heat will really be more auspicious in this game.

And, of course, Stephen Chambers, who helped the Runners close the score right out of the game.

This pure rich second generation has lost his regular season best sixth man style after entering the finals, and it is obvious that Stephen, who is still resistant to physical confrontation, is really not suitable for the atmosphere of the finals and even the playoffs.

But Stephen looked fully prepared today, hitting three three-pointers as he hit three three-pointers to help the Runners cut the deficit to two points.

Those three three-pointers are very dangerous in Claesson's opinion, and at least this Stephen Chambers is a figure who must be guarded against.

Now Clayson basically has his own ideas, looking at the current lineup of the Runners, although Turgun has not played much in the first quarter of the game, it is obvious that only Turgun is the most feared figure in the Runners.

Therefore, preventing Turgun from death is the Heat's top priority in the next games.

Claesson, who had a decision, quickly arranged the tactics for the players, Wall still had to defend Turgon, and Stephen Chambers could strengthen the defense appropriately.

After the timeout, the Heat's offense was still playing smoothly, after all, they were always attacking the interior, while the Runners were almost unguarded.

But going defensively, the Heat's strategy that they had just laid out during the timeout was leaky in the first round.

A small mistake by Wall gave Turgun the opportunity to receive the ball more than two meters from beyond the three-point line, and Turgun did not hesitate at all after receiving the ball, and shot directly from a position about two meters outside the three-point line.

Wall was very conscientious about defending Turgun and he didn't want to have regrets in his first career final, but he just had a slight distraction and then stumbled as he dodged Blair's off-ball cover for Turgon, so that gave Turgun such a chance that didn't seem like a chance.

Turgun's basketball had a very strong spin, and the basketball went straight into the net after a perfect arc in the air, and the gap between the Runners and the Heat was reduced to one point.

Turgon's first shot in this game was so difficult and so accurate, which made Wall even more jealous, and at the same time, it also made Clayson on the sidelines want to stick to the defensive strategy of killing Turgun.

The game continued, the Heat team still focused on the inside, and the Runners were strict in defense against the Heat's outside shots, and then they were resigned to the inside.

The Heat defended Turgun tightly, and even relaxed their defense against Blair and Sallich, and as for Stephen, he had no chance to shoot after the Heat had someone close to him.

Turgun didn't shoot again after hitting that long-range three-pointer, and he knew that the opponent was bent on killing him today, so he simply created enough space for his teammates to attack.

Blair and Sallich didn't shoot well from the outside today, but they didn't lose any offensive power, Blair's low-post offense was still wonderful, and Salehi's breakthrough also gave the Heat's defense a headache.

The Heat's interior Cory Ryder had two fouls in two minutes on Salehi and had to take an early break.

At the end of the first quarter, the difference between the two sides hovered around one to three points.

With the experience of the last game, Claeson took the initiative to start the rotation in this game, except for Wall to defend Turgun, who did not get off the court, the Heat first replaced the rotation players.

Wang Lei also boldly rotated here, and the game reached the finals, and in the end, in addition to competing with the willpower of the players on both sides, the rest is to fight whose heritage is more profound.

In this regard, the Runners are undoubtedly incomparable with the Heat, after all, the Heat is a veteran powerhouse for many years, and the Runners were 10,000 years old before this season, and this season the Runners have almost changed a whole team, although according to Wang Lei's vision, the rotation substitutes he chose are all very characteristic players, but in any case, these people are slightly worse than the Heat team in terms of experience and ability, if it weren't for the Runners' tactical advantages to ensure efficiency, Maybe the Runners won't even make it to the Western Conference Finals.

Once the rotation players came on, the Runners began to pick up the pace, and Francis Leonardo, while not as fast as Wall, was much faster than the Heat's backup point guard Valles.

Valles, who had been abused by Turgun for two games, is now finally free from the ravages of Turgon, and he is now an important flag on the Heat's bench.

But as soon as I came up today, Valles met Francis again.

Unlike Turgon's style of play, Francis has become more and more aggressive as he changes his style, and at the same time has become more and more fond of finding opponents.

In the daily training of the runners, Francis often plays offensive and defensive with Blair, and he is not necessarily left behind, so now when he meets the chicken-like Valles, Francis will definitely not miss such an opportunity.

So after two games ravaged by Turgon, Valles continued to be ravaged by Francis.

The Heat's bench is still mainly on the inside, while the Runners' bench is completely running and bombing, Turgun still has no rest, he didn't run much in the previous games, so he is still more physical.

Shuangfa's bench lineup is still playing evenly without a score, and the score difference has not been opened or narrowed.
