NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 14
Livingston wanted to hit Russell with his body when he came up, but when he leaned sideways, he felt faintly wrong.

Russell also felt that something was wrong, Livingston's strength was average.

Russell has also practiced sports for four years in college, and his muscles are much stronger than the skinny kid who just came out of high school.

Livingston also got used to it in high school. In high school basketball, his strength is enough for the back line, and he can bully whoever he wants.

Feeling that the situation was not good, Livingston was a little embarrassed.

However, he has a good ability to hold the ball. He immediately turned around and wiped it inside, then stopped for a jumper and used his height to make a shot.

Russell with his hands outstretched, kept the interference but didn't jump up to block the shot.

It's a pity that Livingston used a lot of strength in front, and his shot was short.

Varejao picked up the rebound, held it and waited for Russell to come over and hand it to him.

On the other side, Martin and Ariza have two-line fast break.

The Clippers players are also retiring, but they haven't adapted to the Suns' way of playing without falling.

Moreover, Barbosa held the ball and advanced by himself, which is completely different from Russell.

Russell just stood in his own half and slammed one hand violently, but he couldn't run over the flying basketball.

But this kind of pass that looks at the whole audience is exactly in the hands of the fast-break players of the Suns. Ariza catches the ball, starts, and dunks in one go.

He ran back excitedly, and he finally scored.

Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy saw something, but couldn't believe it.

He also didn't remind the players that if they were going to lose anyway, it would be better to look at the abilities of these people themselves.

Livingston is also furious, why is he also the No. [-] pick this year, and Russell is only a second-round pick, and he still spent hundreds of millions to choose himself.

Before the game, the Clippers players were still joking.

If even Russell can't figure it out, why play in the NBA.

So Livingston insisted on beating Russell hard. His mentality was a bit wrong, and he only scored one after three strong beatings.

The head coach won't say anything. Now the Clippers players are the most important to him, but the other Clippers players are very upset, and they start playing randomly when they get the ball.

D'Antoni was extremely interested in Russell's ability to drive players. He replaced Horry and Battelle, and the Suns lineup immediately became five positions that can shoot three-pointers.

The Suns attacked, and Battelle came up to cover for Russell.

But after he screened, instead of going down like Stoudemire, he pulled out to stand on the three-point line.

Battelle had only grabbed two rebounds and hadn't scored before, and the Clippers didn't care about him at all.

No one cared about Russell before, because Russell was the least offensive player in the starting lineup, but now he is the most conspicuous player on the field.

The Clippers were attracted to Russell, and then he didn't intend to attack by himself.

He took two steps inside with the help of cover, and then flicked the basketball behind his head.

It's really easy to pass the ball without looking at people, but with the help of system capabilities.

Battelle catches the ball from the three-point line and makes a comfortable shot, the basketball hits the net, and Battelle hits the first goal to join the Suns.

It's a pity that Huaxia paid more attention to Yao Ming and did not broadcast the game live. Otherwise, Teacher Zhang Lili would have shouted, "This ball is reasonable!"

Russell found that Battelle was really useful when the team was not playing fast breaks.

Now there are very few tactics for the center to pull out to shoot three-pointers, and he has a miraculous effect in this tactic.

And Battelle's rebounding ability is not bad. When he started for the Nuggets, his rebounding efficiency was better than that of Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian.

But the speed is flawed, there is no way, a little faster will make a difference.

Battelle's wingspan is still relatively short, and his speed can't keep up, so he is prone to fouls, and the price/performance ratio of games at the NBA level is too low.

Wang Zhizhi's speed is not good in the NBA, but he has better wingspan and more offensive flexibility.

Wang Zhizhi's inability to survive in the NBA is mainly due to his bad defensive habits, coupled with his lack of strength, he can't handle people inside.

If the characteristics of the two are combined, they should both be able to play a rotation in the NBA.

As for Yi Jianlian, in fact, he still has the strength of the NBA, that is, his style of play takes possession of the ball, but his strength is not up to the level.

If Yi Jianlian can adjust and integrate into the NBA team system, he may stay. In addition, his luck is not very good, and his state is always interrupted by injuries.

During the Suns offense, Battelle made two consecutive shots from beyond the three-point line, and the Clippers didn't know how to defend.

D'Antoni's eyes were shining, and he simply replaced Barnes again, let him go to the fourth position, and continued to speed up the team's rhythm.

The Suns immediately set off a scoring frenzy combining fast breaks and three-pointers. They didn't care whether the opponent made a shot or not. Anyway, when it was their turn to attack the front line, a few people ran fast. If there was no chance, they would wait for Russell to continue to cover the pick-and-roll in the past. Russell will get the ball to his teammates when he gets a chance, and they just need to shoot like they do in practice.

The fans were immersed in the Suns' stormy offense and couldn't help themselves. When they inadvertently paid attention to the score, they found that the Suns had already led the Clippers by 40 points. They were shocked!

Russell went off before the end of the game. As a franchise second-round pick, he did not participate in summer league. This is his first appearance after joining the NBA.

In less than two quarters, 3 points and 10 assists are a bit of a show.

In the first preseason game of the Suns, they beat the Clippers by 122 points 81:41. The fans were shocked, and Phoenix was shocked.

At the press conference after the game, D'Antoni smiled from ear to ear, "The Suns are a very talented team. We have many very talented young people in our lineup. They overfulfilled the tasks I assigned. I Proud of them."

"As for Russell, he's a natural leader, just a little bit, 50% three-point shooting, why not shoot a few more? I need him to be selfish."

"Don't say that, I'm just here to assist Amare." Russell laughed beside him.

Stoudemire, who was sitting together, laughed, "It's great that Russell is here. His passing is very good. If we cooperate for a whole game, I feel like I can score 50 points."

The reporter curiously asked about Russell's pass, so Russell took out the old excuse again, asking how many times an excuse can be used, of course, it can be used to the extent that everyone accepts it and the online encyclopedia is carefully compiled.

Of course, the outside world is still more skeptical, but Russell's backcourt passing through the entire field is indeed more similar to football, so it is barely acceptable... what a ghost.

What about those other passes? If someone dares to pass that in a football game, the coach will definitely compete with him in person.

However, it is a fact that Russell's pass is of great help to the team, not just assists in double figures.

Some passes did not directly form assists, but indirectly helped the team score.

It can be said that Russell is the one who leads the entire Suns offense on the court.

I always feel that something is wrong, the rich second generation of dandyism is about to collapse.
