NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 106
Facing the Suns who lacked an All-Star this time, the Nuggets knew how powerful the No. [-] in the Western Conference is.

Before, they were always short of major generals, and they would feel that they might not be worse than the Suns if they had a well-organized lineup.

Before the start of this game, they thought that winning the Suns without Stoudemire could not prove anything, but now it seems that they really think too much.

Russell really has his own system, there is more than one set, and he can play anything.

The Nuggets were really unwilling to fail, and desperately used foul tactics at the last moment, and helped Russell make the data beautiful.

Now Russell feels that if you want to have good statistics, you need to practice free throws well.

However, he also had some doubts that the opponent hit him deliberately. After all, the gap between them could not be recovered after one or two attacks. Is it necessary to foul so aggressively?

After the game, Marion joked: "I did most of the things that Stoudemire did before, like fast break conversion. I got a lot of fast break opportunities today and benefited a lot from it. .”

Joe Johnson was much more serious in the face of reporters. He said: "I just shared the responsibility of scoring. That performance was not prepared in advance. I just got the ball and worked hard to play a wonderful performance."

D'Antoni said to reporters very easily: "We should have led by 10 points when we entered the halftime break, but we were a little slack in spirit during the period before halftime."

In general, everyone said that Stoudemire's absence would not have much impact, and he could rest at ease.

Stoudemire was neither happy nor unhappy with these words, he was a bit entangled.

Nuggets coach George Karl had some regrets after the game. He said: "We tried to find a way to beat the Suns, even though they are the team with the best record in the league. We have been doing well in the first three quarters, but then they are in Completely destroyed us with a perfect performance in a very short period of time."

The Suns' last game in March was against the 3ers at home.

The 76ers are not considered a team in the Eastern Conference, at most they are a spoiler, because of Iverson's reputation.

Because the 76ers gave up defense, but the offense is the same, the record is only average, and there is no hope for the top four in the Eastern Conference.

In the second half of the season, the 76ers traded for Webber.

It's just that Weber's athletic ability has declined now, and he doesn't adapt to the 76ers' system very well, and his role is very average.

The 76ers still haven't found a peak All-Star assistant for Iverson. As Iverson gets older, the 76ers have fallen into the embarrassment of being unable to compete for the championship and unable to rebuild.

Therefore, it is normal for them to trade Iverson in the end.

Compared with being abused by Iverson in the last match, it is difficult for the current 76ers to pose a threat to the Suns.

Stoudemire is still on truce, but the Suns quickly gained an advantage. The current 76ers are really inferior to the Nuggets. Iverson often feels separated from the team.

The Suns won this game without any pressure. Russell didn't play a lot of time, and the second half was basically garbage time, but he was very happy.

For the first triple-double in his life, Russell did not expect that he could grab so many rebounds.

Stoudemire is still resting because of the hero. Russell was able to pick up so many rebounds without the starting inside Suns fully speeding up.

He smiled from ear to ear to the reporters after the game, "That's really good. I can launch a fast break directly when I get a rebound, so we are faster than usual."

The Suns still have 4 regular-season games in April, and the schedule is relatively dense.

Now the Sonics' record has dropped a bit, and the Spurs are behind them.

According to the urine of the Spurs, they are now ready to let the players have enough energy, and they are less likely to compete for rankings.

So there is no need for the Suns to be nervous, just play normally, and take a break if the players are tired.

When the No. 1 Timberwolves came over, Stoudemire chose to come back.

He just couldn't understand what the media said about the nemesis, and he would beat them up when he met the Timberwolves.

In fact, after the Timberwolves were fucked by the sun, they have no momentum now, and the nemesis is just an old calendar.

Their team has a big problem now, and they are not in the same mind when they are trying their best to sprint for the playoffs.

After Sanders was fired and McHale took over, the team also changed the lineup.

Szczerbiak's appearance on the bench is not to say good or bad, which is acceptable, but Kassel is also on the bench, so he can't understand the operation of the Timberwolves.

They became a convulsive, defenseless small guard Troy Hudson at the first position, and Russell said he was very happy.

Facing Cassell is really not easy, but this time he hit consecutive shots when he came on the court, and the opponent always missed him.

Scoring more than assists in the first quarter is a relatively novel idea.

Garnett is not an offensive star. His rebounds crush the Suns, but the Timberwolves just can't score on the offensive end.

The Suns' rebounding is also excellent, falling behind by more than a dozen in one quarter, the key is that they are still leading.

The Timberwolves' current bench strength is indeed relatively strong, but the starting lineup is hard to describe.

At the beginning of the game, they are in a state of chasing points. Will the Suns give their opponents good fruit?
Moreover, they are double insiders, and they have always wanted to find an advantage inside. It is not wrong for McHale to become a blame man at the end of the season. The Timberwolves under his coaching are indeed a bit incomprehensible.

In the second quarter, Garnett took the bench lineup, that is, the original starter, and the Timberwolves performed better.

However, in the third quarter, the Timberwolves were restored again, and the inappropriate lineup was pressed by the Suns.

Can't defend, can't keep up, and it's the first time the Suns beat the Timberwolves so easily.

This time they didn't give each other another chance. The main lineup increased its strength in the final quarter and completely stabilized the victory.

The Suns also value the Timberwolves more, because they may also be the team's playoff opponents.

Unexpectedly, the current Timberwolves have mediocre fighting spirit and strange tactics. They have nothing but strong rebounds.

Up to now, the Suns have confirmed the status of several fringe playoff teams in the West. Not to mention 100%, it is still no problem to meet the first round of the playoffs.

Stoudemire's return to form is not bad, and the team has nothing to worry about.

Next, they went to an away game against the Rockets, which was also a big victory. The Rockets have a good momentum now, but they cannot be a threat to the Suns, because they are too restrained.

The few blacksmiths on the outside of the Rockets didn't even hit [-]% of their shots, so they only knew how to shoot wildly. Yao Ming had the highest hit rate but couldn't catch the ball at all.

The commentators of the Huaxia live broadcast game were so depressed that they yelled unreasonably.

It's really unreasonable. Even the 80 points defended by the Suns can't get it. In the playoffs, it's interesting that the offensive end is so poor after being targeted.

It's not like they didn't give Yao Ming on purpose. A group of backcourts with no organizational skills are like this, and they can't get in.The Rockets' lineup is nonsense, and it is a waste of the youth of the stars.
