NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 140 Finals

"They played really fiercely, but they didn't score much, much worse than the Suns. My dear, which one of them do you want to face in the finals, the Heat or the Pistons?"

"Hmm...it should still be a piston."

"Why? Are the Pistons stronger... or are they easier to fight?"

"Haha, you still know me. It's hard to say who is better, the Heat or the Pistons. Maybe the Pistons will be more difficult to play, but their upper limit is there, and there will be no surprises when you beat them...Heat, Wade and O'Neal They are all unstable factors, so it is better to play the Pistons."

When the Heat and the Pistons were still fighting, Russell was already watching the excitement in the villa with his beautiful girlfriend in his arms.

It would be nice to have more rest, and when they win the championship, they will be able to fight the Pistons with ease.

The players of the Pistons are not too young, let them run to death.

Even if an accident turns into the Heat, the sun can still kill them, young is good physical strength.

In fact, under normal circumstances, the Heat may be able to play better. O'Neal's condition is really not very good, but he is afraid of accidents. The aging shark is also a shark. Russell is more willing to compete with mediocre players in the playoffs.

No matter how good the Pistons team is, there is no problem. The Suns have already passed the Spurs.

Besides, with Russell here, no matter how tight the opponent's defense is, he can find loopholes.

In the Eastern Conference finals between the Heat and the Pistons, there were seven games, and the Pistons had the last laugh.

Wade broke out during the period, but O'Neal really couldn't break out. Although he is still very stable and absolutely an All-Star performance, it is not enough.

The Heat can score steadily only Wade and O'Neal, but the Pistons have Billups, Rasheed Wallace, Hamilton and Prince.

The Pistons are not as good as the Heat's two All-Stars in every point, but together they are more stable than the Heat's entire team.

So after seven games, the Pistons can come from behind and have the last laugh.

However, in Russell's view, they are just chickens pecking at each other, and they all have obvious shortcomings.

It's not that the Suns are stable, and the Suns also have obvious shortcomings. Russell just sighed that the first-tier team this season is really not strong enough.

Sighs are sighs, in this season when it is best to grab the championship, the Suns must not let it go.

In the MVP voting, Duncan can only be ranked fourth, but in fact, the strongest player this season should be Duncan, but Duncan has been killed by them.

As long as the Spurs are not so stingy, Duncan can complete three consecutive championships at his peak.

It is extremely rare for a championship-level team to have as little salary as the Spurs. They are fully capable of introducing another All-Star player.

But it's fine now, the Spurs just pick and play, and the honor goes to the Suns.

Knowing that they are playing against the Pistons, the Suns players are quite happy.

It's not that they look down on the defending champions, it's that O'Neal's power is still there, and their inside line can't resist Duncan. Stoudemire doesn't want to fight with O'Neal.

What's more, the Pistons have been poached from several key rotations this season, and their strength has declined.

On June 6th, the battle started again in the American West Arena, and the Suns players were full of energy, waiting for the Pistons, who were physically exhausted in seven games, to fight hard.

As far as the lineups of both sides are concerned, Ben Wallace is one of the few insiders in the league who can follow Stoudemire, but he is not tall enough to completely limit Stoudemire. the biggest challenge.

Marion will still be more uncomfortable. Rasheed Wallace can also go inside and outside, and his height and tonnage are stronger than him, but Marion should get used to it. It was more miserable when he met the Spurs before.

However, Marion is also relatively restrained by Rasheed Wallace, and the two will not perform well with each other.

Facing Prince, Iguodala may suffer a bit now, and he still needs to grow.

However, in order to preserve Joe Johnson's physical strength, the team may let him go with Hamilton.

Of course, he also suffered a disadvantage in the face of Hamilton, but his defense can help the team a little, and his task has also been completed. In Iguodala's first playoff show, the Suns never asked him to score.

Joe Johnson should be able to take advantage of this, but the defense against the Pistons should not be too stable, but it is certain that he can contain the opponent's defense.

In comparison to the No. [-] position, Russell is actually not afraid of the FMVP Billups.

Billups can definitely beat Russell with his body, but he plays more reasonably. Russell was beaten by another heavy No. [-] bearded Davis in the regular season, but he is better against Billups. Style must be an important reason.

And Billups is not very fast, Russell can keep the defense without losing position.

In terms of the direct pass threat, Russell is obviously a few grades higher than the opponent, and they will explode at this point.

In terms of strength on paper, the two sides are actually almost the same, and it can be said that they restrain each other.

If they are playing against the Heat, the Suns will have more advantages, but if they are playing against the Pistons, no one will explode.

No one on the side of the sun will be exploded, and everyone's mentality is relatively relaxed.

Amidst the enthusiasm of the fans, the game finally started.

The Suns got the chance to attack first, and Stoudemire still has a good jump ball. There are only a few people in the league who can fight him. Big Ben still forgets.

Russell still called Stoudemire to pick and roll, and Ben Wallace followed. He was confident that he could stick to Stoudemire.

However, Russell just feinted this time, and Marion suddenly cut inside. Russell caught the ball, and Marion caught the ball and made a quick stop to throw, scoring the first point for the Suns.

Then came the huge cheers, which is the treatment at home.

But then the Suns felt the defensive strength of the Pistons. The Spurs had the highest defensive efficiency in the regular season, but in the playoffs, the Spurs could still play offense, but the Pistons are only strong in defense, so their defense is tighter than the Spurs .

The Pistons are good at forcing pressure, and they are particularly good at defending passes. They will drive outside players to the inside, and then the two Wallaces inside can help defend, which can be called a no-fly zone.

It's a pity that they also have an upper limit. They can't completely prevent Russell's pass, and they won't be able to do anything after Stoudemire explodes.

Moreover, Russell's passing can be said to be more restrained in their defense.

Their defense is single defense, continuation, plus a system of assisted defense, rarely pinching and alliances. They are very good at defending against breakthroughs, but they give people opportunities when they meet top breakthrough players.

Facing them, Wade can explode, Ginobili can explode, and James can also explode.

The Suns don't have a top-level breakthrough player, but Russell's god-level pass can make Stoudemire, Marion and Iguodala go in.

As long as they make a shot, the team's outside three-pointers will have a chance, and the Pistons' defense can be broken.
