NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 118 Accident
The Suns overtook the score in the third quarter. Although they haven't won the game yet, they have completely overshadowed each other in momentum.

The home audience was even more excited, and now the Mavericks players feel that their eardrums can't stand it.

Russell scored in double figures unconsciously.

The Mavericks want to be aggressive this time, and they want to make their weak links stronger. I don’t want to be wrong, they have succeeded before, but after the Suns react, their weak links will still be weak.

Their method can only be used as a surprise attack. Maybe the weaker team can't react in the whole game, but it can't last that long when used on the sun.

The Mavericks still took it for granted, and did not think clearly about the seriousness of the problem, so they were overwhelmed by the Suns in the third quarter.

However, the personal abilities of the Mavericks' substitute players are still relatively strong at this stage, and they finally stabilized completely during the rotation period.

Their current defense no longer dares to be sloppy, and they don't seek merit but nothing.

They gave up fighting for offensive rebounds, accelerated their defense speed, and paid attention to contraction during positional battles, but they had to be able to save in time, which placed high demands on the players.

Next, Nowitzki really put more energy on the defensive end. When he was in the top five position, he was no less than Dampier, and he even took fewer shots on the offensive end.

The Mavericks had no choice but to use their offensive weapon for defense.

During this time, the Mavericks gradually tried to find breakthroughs in Russell and Iguodala.

And they also found that Russell's defense seemed to be much better than they thought.

In fact, it's not that Russell's defense has improved by leaps and bounds, but that he is too familiar with the Mavericks players.

Now the Mavericks don't dare to use other substitutes except Stackhouse and Daniels. There are so many routines.

Russell also only needs to defend the opponent's shots at the back line, which is not that difficult.

In the final quarter, the two teams went all out from the beginning and responded cautiously, and the score was tight.

"Is your physical strength okay?" D'Antoni was a little worried.

Although he has won the best head coach, he still hasn't proved himself more in the playoffs.

The score was tight, and he needed Russell to play for a few more minutes. Barbosa really couldn't trust him.

Russell nodded, "No problem, I have been recharging my energy during this time."

Russell didn't push himself hard. He is really strong now, and there is no problem in fighting for a few games.

Sweeping the opponent in the first round took so much time to recover, just to have the physical strength to fight the opponent hard when fighting.

After getting an affirmative answer, Russell returned to the field earlier than usual.

Facing a strong team, Barbosa's shortcomings are magnified, and there is no way.

And Russell also hopes to get the Mavericks faster, so that he can have enough time to prepare for the strongest opponent in the West.

Winning both home games and being stolen by the opponent will have a completely different heart.

A young team like the Suns needs more confidence to allow players to grow quickly.

The tempo was a bit slowed down, but the Suns didn't mind too much. Russell can always help his teammates find opportunities.

Halfway through the final quarter, the Suns led by one goal, and this situation has lasted for several minutes.

In the second game of the series, the Mavericks showed the strength of their strong team.

"Now it depends on whether the solar energy can withstand it. The Mavericks and the Grizzlies are still different. They are the real strong teams in the Western Conference."

"Young teams are still worrying. If they are dominated by the Mavericks, this series will be hard to say."

"The further the playoffs go, the less chance the Suns will have to switch between offense and defense and quickly attack. Now it depends on the real ability."

Many people are sweating for the Suns, and everyone's confidence in the newly promoted teams is always not that strong.

On the field, Russell's voice was very contagious, "It's okay, just focus, we will win!"

The slow-paced crunch time can be a little dangerous, but the situation is still in his hands, and the Mavericks are not beyond the situation he encountered in the mock battle.

The time entered the last 5 minutes. During the positional battle, Russell still called Stoudemire to come up to cover.

This is the beginning of the sun's countless offensive tactics. Terry has now paid great attention to blocking Stoudemire, but without entanglement, he immediately stopped Russell.

Not letting Russell shoot three-pointers is also the Mavericks' defensive strategy.

They are very familiar with Russell, and Russell generally doesn't rush, so it doesn't matter if he is half a step behind.

Russell did not grab it, but he unexpectedly did not pass the ball directly this time, but took a step inside and pulled out his shot.

This is something Russell rarely does. Terry blocked Stoudemire for a while and then jumped out. Russell pressed in at this time, and Terry couldn't keep up immediately.

That's enough, Russell hit two points steadily.

His step was very heavy, almost reaching the free throw line, which is an area he is relatively good at.

The basketball fell firmly into the basket, and the Suns still took the lead.

On the sidelines, the little general Johnson felt a thump in his heart. They played better than before, but Russell also showed a scoring ability that he didn't have before.

This will not be a watershed in the game, it is impossible in principle, Russell is not a scoring guard at all, this is his shortcoming, he will not try too much.

Next, the situation on the field seemed to prove all of this. Russell was more organized, and occasionally walking inside was also looking for opportunities to pass the ball.

Russell's occasional flashes of inspiration on the offensive end are quickly forgotten by everyone.

This is Russell's cleverness. If you are not good at it, you need to ensure the success rate.

The Suns are not short of offense now, and he just came suddenly to stabilize the team's situation.

Sometimes it may be to sentence the opponent to death. Not being good at it doesn't mean you can't become a key person.

The key is to make the opponent unexpected. As a core defender, he has the ball in his hand, and there is no problem with cold hands. He will deliberately create a personality to make the opponent ignore him, and then help the team in more ways.

The Suns maintained the lead, but at this time there was an accident. Joe Johnson broke through and was fouled by Stackhouse, and the brow bone was opened.

Although he insisted on leaving the field after free throws, it was obviously impossible to continue.

Although Joe Johnson is not as strong in every game, he is both offensive and defensive and can play singles with the ball. This is a very important point in the Suns' starting lineup. .

If he leaves now, the Suns will suffer a great loss, and they are likely to be overturned by the Mavericks. After all, the gap between the two sides is only a matter of one or two goals.

Everyone was a little worried, and D'Antoni also felt a little tight in his heart.

Stoudemire was still cursing, thinking that the opponent moved too much, and he would have been hit if he hadn't been physically strong.

Russell knew that at this time, he needed to stand up and stabilize the morale of the army.

"Brothers, we have to give them a good look and avenge Joe with the victory. They are bound to lose!"
