NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 138
"Keep going, the sun can't be perfect all the time, this is our rhythm."

"Of course, we need to be more aggressive on the offensive end. Tony, you have fewer points than Russell. Do you want to be traded?"

"Manu, I need more offense from you, do you understand? You tell you understand!"

"Tim... Forget it, keep working hard."

The gap is only 1 point. They definitely have a chance in this game. Rationally speaking, the chance is relatively high, because their defense against fast breaks is really much better, but why are they panicking? Popovich feels a toothache.

He glanced at Bowen and said, "Bruce, we need a little more physical confrontation. Make them feel intimidated, understand?"

Bowen nodded quietly. He knew what to do, but he never had a good chance. Now it seems that he needs to take the initiative.

In a season without a super team, it should be the opportunity of the Spurs, and the sun should not appear.

"Brothers, well done! Our home field, as long as we continue to play according to the tactical arrangement before the game, the victory will belong to us. We don't need to kill each other in one shot, we just need to do the right thing over and over again, Then keep the victory in Phoenix." Russell said excitedly as he high-fived his teammates one by one.

"Victory belongs to us, victory must belong to us!"

"We're going to the finals, we're going to be the champions!"

Russell started, and the others started talking too.It felt a bit dull on the court because of the Spurs' targeting of them, but back in the locker room, the Suns were obviously much more lively.

The Suns' tactics seem complicated, but because Russell is in charge of the rhythm, D'Antoni doesn't need to arrange too many specific things. Apart from his relatively high psychological pressure, he is relatively relaxed.

In the third quarter, Parker became fierce on the Spurs side and was very aggressive against Russell.

And Duncan, who put part of his energy on the defensive end, blocked Stoudemire when he came up.

Duncan controlled the number of fouls in the first half, and it is obvious that he will be more aggressive on the defensive end in the second half.

They still separated the combination of Russell and Stoudemire from the rest of the Suns. Duncan stepped up defense while Muhammad was there, making it more difficult for Stoudemire on the offensive end, but Russell still had a chance .

Given the chance, Russell will definitely shoot.

The Spurs have always intervened one-on-one with him, and they have not been particularly tight.

Compared with passing the ball to revitalize the team, the Spurs prefer Russell to take the ball and shoot himself.

It's just that Russell's shooting rate is good. They have to give some pressure, not too much or too little.

The defense is not blindly fierce, but to guide the opponent's attack. The Spurs are very skilled in this advanced defensive technique.

But at this time, the Spurs suddenly defended Russell.

Not against him when he has the ball, but to give him room to shoot and then help.

This was obviously a mess, Russell sneered, he was used to the Spurs' dirty tricks in mock battles.

Sure enough, Bowen soon found an opportunity. On the surface, he was assisting in defense, but in fact he rushed over to step up.

Russell chuckled, and the shot in the air turned into a pass, which was directly passed to the player Bowen was originally defending.

When he fell, he deliberately stepped hard on the opponent's foot.

This kind of insidious trick is to take advantage of people's unpreparedness, and when they are prepared, they are looking for abuse.

That is to say, Russell's weight is not very large. If he is of sufficient tonnage, he can directly break the foot of his foot.

Russell stepped on someone and slid back very naturally, nothing happened.

On the contrary, the face of Bo Wen who came up was green, and his toes were about to be trampled off, but he was trying to make trouble on purpose, so he tried not to shout out.

This kind of endurance can be regarded as a tough guy, but he came up to help defend in this way, giving the Suns a vacancy.

For the defense, failure to do things will put the team in more trouble, and there is a price to use insidious tricks, and they can't be used a few times.

Bowen endured the pain and looked at the sidelines. Popovich was expressionless, and he immediately adjusted his mentality to prepare for the next time.

After a few rounds, Bowen found another opportunity. This time he pretended not to be in a hurry to help defend, and directly slammed into him.

And he erected his elbow very secretly. If it hits hard, something will definitely happen to Russell.

It's just that the Spurs never thought that Russell had been paying attention to Bowen's movements.

Before the ball was shot, Russell felt that the opponent might try it.

Seeing Bowen rushing over, he pretended to be unsteady and kicked Bowen.

Bowen just rushed over with all his strength, and Russell's foot directly touched the buddy's chin.

Then Russell fell to the ground. Before he fell to the ground, he pushed the cooperative Parker, and then tensed his body. There was nothing wrong with the fall, but it still looked a bit miserable.

Bowen was really miserable. He put his chin directly on Russell's feet, and fell to the ground in the dark.

He didn't faint, but his whole body was already dizzy, and he didn't get up for a long time.

People from both sides rushed over, and the Spurs didn't know how Russell did it, but they instinctively felt that it was not an accident.

Did Russell know they wanted to make trouble or did Russell want to make trouble?The former is more likely.

I didn't expect a rookie to play well, but how come the dirty work on the court is so clear?
But at this time, no one will admit it, just say it's the other party's fault.

Russell saw that Stoudemire was showing signs of impulsiveness, so he didn't care about lying on the ground and pretending, and immediately calmed down the Suns players.

They are about to enter the finals, and the player swap with the Spurs is not worth it.

If the Suns are not impulsive, the Spurs will not be reluctant. They are just playing dirty and don't fight.

The game was delayed for a while, the referee watched the video, and finally chose to play [-] boards each, calling a double foul.

The game continued, Russell was not affected in any way, but the Spurs did not dare to mess around.

It is hard not to mention success, and their own defense will also be affected if they continue to make trouble.

In any case, strength determines everything on the basketball court, and small tricks are just small tricks.

However, Russell found that the mentality of the young people in the Suns was still affected, and the next shot became a little impatient, allowing the Spurs to overtake the score.

Russell didn't think of this link. When he rested, he also enlightened others.

"They couldn't stand it anymore, they started to use dirty tricks." Russell said disdainfully.

"So we can't be messed up ourselves, and we will go on step by step. They must lose. Believe me or not."

Teammates certainly believed that Russell's current team status was achieved by leading the team. He said that if they could win, they would definitely win.

After playing again, Stoudemire came over and bumped Russell.

"Fuck them to death, these shameless people."

"no problem!"
