NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 115 Unstoppable
"I am very, very grateful to my family. Without their support, I would not have been able to enter the league, let alone win this heavyweight award." Russell's voice choked up.

He actually thought about winning the MVP. He thought he would be more indifferent, but he couldn't help it when the atmosphere came.

"I dreamed of this scene, but I didn't expect it to be now. This is honor, pressure, and motivation. The playoffs are still going on, and our goals for the season have not been achieved. I will work harder. I'm not joking..."

In the end, Russell couldn't help but made a joke, "I have a reason to go all out, because if I don't play well, I will go back and inherit billions of dollars, haha..."

This time, the old Russell and his sister, who were also teary and emotional, couldn't laugh or cry, and the atmosphere of the scene also changed.

Russell became the new MVP, which also caused a wide range of discussions.

"Russell's transformation of decay into magic is well-deserved, and the MVP is full of weight."

"Russell is great, but the statistics are still a little bit worse. The players who won the MVP can only have assists."

"The number one assists per game in history isn't enough? Then who can do it? The record led by Russell is solid."

"The Suns have three All-Stars, and it can't be said that Russell leads the team. His scoring ability is not as good as Stoudemire and others, and the Suns can't have the current record. He won the MVP only because O'Neal has already won it. Other competitions The opponent team has a slightly worse record."

"Hehe, without Russell, the Suns wouldn't have three All-Stars. How is the record and salary compared?"

"Russell may be worthy of the MVP, but he is still a rookie. He still has a lot of opportunities. The MVP should be given to the old players first."

"It's really funny. The MVP is not divided into ages. This is an honor that speaks of strength."

There is a lot of talk from the outside world, and the playoff match between the Suns and the Mavericks has already begun.

As the number one record in the league, even if they win the championship, the Suns are now playing at home.

At home, after resting for many days, the mental state of each Suns player is very full.

That is to say, I should be a little worried. They don't have a lot of training these days, and their hands will be a little raw.

The last time the Suns played against the Mavericks, the opponent's head coach was still the old Nelson, but now it has been replaced by Avery Johnson.

It felt sudden, but in fact it was old Nelson's intention to go.He didn't have outstanding results in the playoffs, and the Mavericks also wanted to see if there would be a breakthrough with another player.

The Sun's lineup is very restrained against the Rockets, but it also has a small restraint against the Mavericks.

Because Marion is a good man to defend Nowitzki, even if it cannot be completely restricted, it can make Nowitzki uncomfortable, and the Mavericks' inside line will also be infinitely weakened by the Suns' style.

Compared with the Suns, who are both offensive and defensive, the Mavericks are a little bit worse in both aspects.

Before the start of the game, both teams spoke harshly. In the Western Conference semifinals, no one wants to lose momentum.

The American West Arena was full of voices.

Stoudemire won the jump ball easily. Compared with Gasol, who is also a jump ball master, Dampier, the self-proclaimed second center in the West, is just a buffoon, not worth mentioning.

The Mavericks signed this meat shield to fight against the big center, but O'Neal went east.

Originally, Dampier had a chance to play a role in the next season in history, but he was not very useful in the finals. At that time, the Heat were already dominated by Wade, and the Mavericks suffered a lot.

Now, the Mavericks will feel that they are at a loss.

Dampier can't keep up with Stoudemire at all, he is a loophole on the court.

Signing him is for defense. After spending so much money, he became a defensive hole. Mavericks owner Cuban is very tired, but this product is probably still in his hands.

In the first quarter of the game, the Suns relied on Stoudemire's strength to establish an advantage.

Russell didn't need to score a single point, giving the impression that he was in control of the situation.

Becoming the new MVP, fans feel that his scheduling on the court is more chic.

In fact, he didn't expect that the Mavericks didn't care at all about restricting Stoudemire. They were far worse than the Grizzlies before. He didn't know whether it was the arrogance of the old powerhouse or their style.

The Mavericks, like the Grizzlies, are not bad off the bench. Although the Suns' bench is full of talents, they still look like a bunch of rookies because of their background.

But the Mavericks are different from the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have a lot of players, and the Mavericks have a sixth-man player like Stackhouse and a good player like Daniels on the bench.

In terms of rotation, former All-Stars like Stackhouse are undoubtedly thriving, more conspicuous than any substitute player on the Suns side.

"The Suns can't say that the bench is weak, but they have too many young players and less experience."

"It is estimated that the Suns did not expect them to play so well and become the No. [-] in the West, otherwise they would definitely sign a few good veterans to escort the team."

"Hehe, last summer's Sun didn't have any good veterans."

Seeing the Mavericks chasing points off the bench, the fans also talked a lot.

But what everyone didn't expect was that after the Sun's main force came back, they continued to suppress the Mavericks.

The Mavericks still didn't limit Stoudemire. Thinking of the situation of the two sides playing against each other in the regular season, they may really have no choice.

On the outside, Finley, who was blasted by McGrady, couldn't get Joe Johnson.

When the two sides played against each other, everyone was shocked to find that the Mavericks' starting lineup was too different.

Nowitzki just slightly suppressed Marion, and he had no advantage in other positions.

Terry's score may be better than Russell's, but overall, there must be a big gap.

The Mavericks have been limited by the Suns on the offensive end, and the lack of good organizers is a big reason.

Before they played against the Rockets, the two sides couldn't tell much about it. Now they meet the Suns and they realize how big their organizational problems are.

Nowitzki now has to score, rebound, organize and help defend inside, and he is exhausted.

Of course, it's not that the Mavericks' other teams lack a little organizational ability. On the contrary, many of them have good passing ability. They also have a good record in the regular season and can play as a team.

But obviously on the stage of the Western Conference semifinals, their passing ability is not enough.

If it is a team that is aiming to compete for the championship, this level is not considered qualified.

Under the attack of Stoudemire and Joe Johnson inside and outside, the Suns' lead came to double digits.

The outside world is a little confused, the Mavericks must be better than the Grizzlies.

It stands to reason that they are close to the previous game, so the hand feel should be fine. It's only the second quarter, and there is no physical problem. What's wrong with the Mavericks.

With the Mavericks fighting for an offensive rebound, the first half ended.

At this time, the Suns entered the intermission with a 16-point lead, and the fight between dragons and tigers did not happen.
