NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 155
"Haha, of course Gerrard is a very good player, otherwise do you think the team has too many dollars to spend?" Russell kept laughing to the reporters after the game.

Regardless of his current stats, he will be the darling of the media. During the playoffs, media from several countries came to interview him, making him a world-class All-Star.

The Suns can test the lineup very casually and can win two consecutive victories, which is quite unexpected.

But this is the preseason, and other teams are not too worried, anyway, they will still pay attention to the sun.

Of course, those who sang praises from the outside world are more excited, especially Joe Lewis, who has already vowed that the Suns will not succeed in defending their title without Stoudemire.

He licked so shamelessly that Russell could beat Jordan in his writing.

But he realized, don't be shameless and shameless, bragging will make a lot of money.

I didn't know last season, but this season there is no need to choose, son of the Phoenix, there is only one in so many years.

Even if the Suns are at the bottom of the season, Phoenix fans who sing the praises of Russell will pay for it.

Joe Lewis felt that he was very sensible, and he was determined to change his attitude shamelessly, and now the good days are coming.

On October 10, the Suns played against the Jazz in the third game of the playoffs.

The Jazz exchanged their favorite Deron with three first rounds, and the original core lineup has also been retained. Sloan is also full of ambitions this season.

It is definitely not a loss to choose Deron, but Sloan also favors him too much. I don't know if the Jazz will choose Paul, will the result be better.

It's still a matter of choosing people. It depends on the NCAA data. Paul is definitely better than Deron.

No one thinks that a rookie can challenge Russell, and everyone has forgotten that he is still a sophomore.

Superstar is another standard. What everyone pays more attention to is that the Suns have changed their starting lineup again.

In this lineup, the No. [-] position pulls to the three-point line, the No. [-] and No. [-] positions hit the basket, and another shooter is ambushed on the weak side. A group of Suns players can be adjusted at will, and they can also play well.

Relatively speaking, another new addition to the Suns, Mark Jackson, is a bit unremarkable.

However, after catching the ball and shooting mid-range, such an inside line can seamlessly connect with the Suns.

The fifth position pulls out to shoot three-pointers, and the Suns will use it more frequently than last season.

Originally in history, the Suns relied on this set, without star players like Joe Johnson and Stoudemire, and even reached the Western Conference Finals.

Now it depends on whether Wang Zhizhi can adapt to the tactics well. If he can play well, it doesn't matter whether the team can get Tim Thomas in the middle of the season.

In terms of defense, Tim Thomas may not be better than Wang Zhizhi.

Of course, that buddy must have stronger physical fitness. Russell plans to ask the coaching staff to practice well. After losing a little weight, see if the defensive awareness can be improved.

What everyone sighed in this game is that Russell seems to be able to play well with any player.

Fatty Deron, who had just entered the league, was dizzy the whole game when he met the Great God, and the Suns won easily.

It is difficult to see through the team's strength in the playoffs, but the Suns without Stoudemire seem to have little impact.

The general performance in this game is very good. It seems that the marginal man and Russell can perform well after being teammates.

Maybe as long as the Suns have Russell, they won't be a weak team.

On the other hand, the Eagles, who have gradually attracted the attention of Huaxia fans because of Battelle's joining, actually performed well, but no more people paid attention.

Now the Eagles, Diaw, Josh Smith, and Harrington are actually suitable for playing fast. At least on the offensive end, Nash can bring these players together.

Two days later, the Suns had their first preseason loss, but the reference was of little significance because Russell didn't play.

It was the Warriors who won the Suns, and there was Russell's nemesis, the bearded Davis. Russell didn't want to show his strength in the preseason, and he didn't want to abuse that buddy, so he didn't fight at all, and let Barbosa and Ellis exercise more .

No one expected Russell to have a big offensive change this season because his passing was so impressive.

Anyway, the Warriors are not a strong team, so he doesn't care much.

Russell's offense is suitable for playing with the ball and does not require too much cooperation from his teammates. The hidden strength in the preseason will not be affected. The team now cares more about which tactical system is more suitable for the new season without Stoudemire.

The main system must be based on stability, but how to play during the rotation period, how to play when you are ahead or behind, how to use the second tactic when the first tactic is not working, and how to determine the third tactic all need to be tested by the game.

The preseason is a good time for trial and error. If you do a good job in the regular season, you can save a few losses.

Russell is the core of tactics no matter what, which makes him seem like a member of the coaching staff many times now.

Under the guidance of Russell, Chamberke worked hard to absorb the advantages of D'Antoni and Thibodeau, and it can be said that he has grown very rapidly after a season.

Russell is also very happy. Zhang Burke is his coaching reserve, and the faster he grows, the better.

Next, the Suns became more and more brave in the preseason, the Hammer Supersonics and the Kings.

The Supersonics have fallen this season. Speaking of which, they don't have enough background, and the Kings have been weak, and the new season will become more obvious.

Peja can't support the king at all, and it is estimated that the king will trade him soon.

The current Kings have been a strong team for a long time, and the weakness of last season is unbearable. Now that they are weaker, they will definitely want to change.

It's just that the king of the super Princeton team is already hard to come by.

Russell looked at it and sighed. He was more excited to meet the King last season, but now the King looks really weak.

In competitive sports, the strength changes really fast.

After easily defeating the Kings twice, the Suns have only the last game left in the preseason.

In the last training session before the regular season, the Suns planned to bring some real guys, and Russell didn't care about the so-called nemesis beard.

It seems that the bearded guards are all physically strong, and Harden will also be a heavy guard in the future.

Russell, Joe Johnson, Iguodala, Marion and Varejao, this will definitely be the main starter of the Suns in the new season, but how long Varejao plays depends on the opponent's lineup.

The Warriors have not changed much in their roster this season. Their first-round pick, Ike Diogu, is also convinced. If the management has no vision, like the Bobcats, chasing after NCAA players with high records and good records, they will not make money. , It won't be too wasteful, but the Warriors' operations are basically a waste of picks.

The height of the Warriors' starting lineup is still large, with Davis and Jason Richardson in the backcourt, and the next three big men Dunleavy, Murphy and Biedrins, but Dunleavy and Murphy are big pitchers. It is a shooting lineup with a blue-collar inside lineup, and the defense and offense are very average.

The Suns decided to play defense with the opponent today.
