NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 120 Abnormal
Russell shook everyone, even the home fans.

In the last few seconds, everyone held their breath in tension, and Russell suddenly made such a move. The audience was silent for about 2 seconds before bursting into loud cheers.

Although the Mavericks were left with 4 seconds to come, the Suns took the lead again.

The Mavericks chose to pause again, which was their last timeout.

Half-court defense, the Suns have practiced many times, and there is no doubt that they will focus on defending Nowitzki again.

It's best not to let him catch the ball, otherwise a super player like him may make an unreasonable hit like last round. Although it is impossible to do this every time, you can't bet on the last moment.

Of course he was under double supervision. Russell looked at the positions of the Mavericks players, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly.

He has really experienced many times in mock battles for the touchline kick at the last moment.

He knows how the Mavericks will react, and their tactics at this time.

He started early before and scored 2 points in almost unexpected ways, also because he is very familiar with the Mavericks' sideline tactics.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the running of the Mavericks players was very familiar.

Russell made a decisive decision. Just when the opponent was about to send the ball, he suddenly gave up his defender.

The Mavericks don't have a player like him, so they can't change the direction of the serve at this moment.

I saw that he came to the direction where the opponent sent the ball just right, and with a poke of his finger, the basketball flew towards the opponent's half court. Russell chased desperately, followed by the Mavericks player who was half a beat behind.

At the last moment, when his hand touched the ball, he started counting. He rushed to the Mavericks player to dribble a few steps before rushing over. At this time, the time of the game was over.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the Suns won the second home game.

In the case of an unexpected lineup, Russell made a quasi-lore and a steal ruined the Mavericks.

After the game, Russell did not talk much about his performance at the end of the game, but said: "Joe is the iron man of our team. He has never missed a training session, and he has never missed a game. They are an important part of our team. He has performed very well this season. Now his injury is a big loss for us, and we will continue to unite and play for him."

Afterwards, Russell also learned that there was a problem with Joe Johnson's brow bone. He needed a minor operation and had to rest for at least two games.Minor surgery to repair the brow bone, very successful.

Russell took everyone to see him, and Joe Johnson was a little embarrassed. He thought he had accidentally affected the team, and he would feel guilty if there was a problem with the team.

"It's not your fault, you're a fighter," Russell said.

"That's right, it's obvious that those guys on the other side are too shameless, I will help you teach them a lesson," Stoudemire said.

Although the two were at odds with each other, everyone's emotions were the same at this time.

Joe Johnson was also very touched by everyone's concern for him, and everyone's relationship seemed to have taken a step further.

Sometimes it's not a bad thing to be a little weak. The team finally won the game, and Joe Johnson was also very happy. He said: "I will return as soon as possible."

Russell laughed out loud, and joked, "There's no rush, just take it as a break, and go directly to the Western Conference Finals after the break, isn't it great, I'm a little envious."

Everyone also laughed. After winning the two home games, everyone is full of confidence.

The Mavericks are not their opponents. When the time comes to fight the next opponent with all their strength, it is what they should do to rush out of the West.

Next they are going to the away game, and Joe Johnson will not be with him.

On the training ground, Martin was also a little apprehensive. He performed well in the team, but compared with the starters, especially Joe Johnson, there was still a big gap.

It's his opportunity to replace Joe Johnson as the starter, but a bad performance will hurt the team, and he's under a lot of pressure.

Russell deliberately chatted with him, "You are very aggressive, just like before. When you receive my pass, you shoot decisively. There will be no difference between the main force and the substitute, because I will fully support you."

Hearing Russell's assurance, Martin felt confident all of a sudden.

Without playing alongside Russell, it's impossible to understand how comfortable an attacker can be with Russell's passes.

At this time, Martin didn't expect that Russell was also a rookie in this year, the All-Star MVP, the regular season MVP, this is completely a superstar.

There are big guys watching, what is he worried about, just help the team score.

However, because of Joe Johnson's absence, the outside world is still not optimistic about the Suns' road trip.

"The Suns had a hard time with Joe Johnson off the court. They won the game because of Russell's superb performance, but that's not what he's good at. The Mavericks have an advantage at home."

"The Mavericks are so mean, and directly crippled a strong scoring point of the Suns."

"The official gave an analysis report, Stackhouse probably didn't do it on purpose, the Suns just had bad luck."

"Actually, the Suns have performed well so far. Even if they stop in the second round, it will still be an excellent season."

"Stop pretending to be a Suns fan, Suns champion! Stackhouse is suspended!"

No matter what the fans think, Stackhouse will definitely not be suspended, so many professionals are still optimistic about the Mavericks winning at home.

And if a young team like the Suns is slowed down by the Mavericks, it will be difficult to handle next.

In the face of various doubts, the internal situation of the Suns is very good, and the players are full of fighting spirit.

They have won consecutive victories this season, and they have played well in the playoffs, and there is no falsehood in any situation.

Playing for Joe Johnson, or revenge, isn't something everyone is talking about.

It can be said that the blood of the players is even more churning than before.

At the American Airlines Center, the site of the Mavericks, the home fans are desperately influencing the sun with decibels.

The Sun's starting lineup is exactly what the outside world predicts, and Martin will fill the starting lineup.

According to everyone's predictions, Horry's starting lineup for the Suns and Barbosa's starting team for double guards are also supported, but the Suns finally decided to use the most familiar routine. The team must need offensive power for this.

They can attack and defend, but their offensive power is the strongest in the league.

The environment of the away game has no effect on the Suns players. At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks imitated the style of play in the second game and let Dampier try to squeeze inside.

It's just that their strategy can only be used as a sneak attack once. Even if Stoudemire's defense is not so strong, it is impossible for Dampier's crude offensive meat shield to have another glory.

Martin started a little more restrained, but the Suns' offense did not have any restraint. Stoudemire felt hot at the beginning, and Dampier was blown up on both offense and defense.

Only then did the Mavericks realize that something was wrong, and quickly adjusted the personnel.

But they haven't noticed the state of the Suns this time, and the Suns players are too excited.
