NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 156
Baron Davis, Russell's nemesis, is actually limited to when the Suns let him play singles.

The Warriors are not strong, and the Suns will not target them too much, but the defense is definitely different in this game.

Russell will push the opponent to the three-point line, and shoot him with a three-pointer if he has the ability. If you play with your body and play inside, I'm sorry, Russell's younger brother will come to help defend immediately.

At the same time, the Suns will block the opponent's three-pointers, and this Warriors rely on three-pointers to make a living.

Two guards with good ability can shoot with the ball, catch and shoot, and the big pitcher can also catch and shoot.

In fact, they are a bit like the Sonics. They are all three-pointers in positional battles. The defense can't be said to be good, but it is not bad. It is the kind of shooting team that is mediocre in all aspects.

The reason why it is mediocre is because the offensive coordination is relatively poor, the big pitcher is slow to get in position, and he can't play with the ball, so the efficiency cannot be improved at all.

In terms of defense, some players have poor personal defense, some players can only assist in defense, and their various abilities are relatively fragmented. Many times, if they want to defend, they will not attack, and if they want to attack and defend, there will be loopholes.

Moreover, he fights back and shoots at will when his shooting rate is unstable. This kind of player configuration is unreasonable.

Of course, the tactics are even more unreasonable, too NCAA. Coach Montgomery didn't consider the personal abilities of NBA players clearly, and didn't combine the players' personal abilities with tactics.

At the beginning of the game, Davis felt that something was wrong. The Russell he played casually seemed to be not so easy to play. Could it be that the player changed after winning the championship.

Before that, he didn't think how powerful the Sanliao MVP was.

But when the Suns' defense was really tight in this game, Davis felt troublesome. The Suns have a lot of long arms, and it is really difficult to make a shot.

In the last game of the preseason, the Warriors also paid more attention to it. Davis was not in a hurry to throw around outside, and he began to break through and score the ball.There is definitely nothing wrong with this choice. Relying on his strength and speed, he can break through Russell. After attracting help defense, he is prone to openings on the outside.

However, although Davis's pass is good, it is not as perfect as Russell. The Suns' defensive rotation can be in time most of the time.

The basketball half court is only that big, and it is not so easy to create a complete gap.

This is the role of team defense. After a season of training, the Suns' team defense is already very strong.

Under the defensive force of the Suns, the two big shooters Dunleavy and Murphy had no chance at all, but their accuracy was affected. Only Davis and Richardson, who can hold the ball, can easily adjust.

The Warriors still have a problem, that is, their ability to hit the basket is average, and they have little offensive power inside.

In this case, the Suns can expand their defense relatively easily.

When the Suns' defense really showed, it wasn't just Davis who felt uncomfortable.

Last season, because of the need to protect Stoudemire, the Suns' defensive ability has not been fully demonstrated, but in the last game of the preseason, they showed their excellence.

"It turns out that the sun can also play like this, it feels a bit weird."

"The Suns' defense is really good now. The Warriors' big shooters are all blocked."

"The Suns' defense is not bad. Otherwise, how could they win the championship successfully? It's just that their offense is so good that people ignore their defense."

The fans are just sighing, but the professionals who pay attention to the Suns are sighing, are the Suns ready to go defensive without Stoudemire?

Varejao plays the fifth position, a group of long-arm strikers, it is indeed a good lineup to take the defensive approach.

At this time, they hadn't thought that the Suns could still play both offense and defense in the new season, and Russell could make up for Stoudemire's points by relying on his personal ability.

Warriors coach Montgomery is a little envious. The Warriors' players are not bad in height and wingspan. Why can't they play such a good defense.

Compared with the exaggerated and alternative to the Suns' offense, their defense gives people a very solid and academic feeling.

However, in the case of Russell hiding his strength, the Sun's current attack does not seem to be very strong.

The main attackers are Joe Johnson and Marion. Iguodala and Wallace on the bench also performed well. The other is Martin, but in fact there is no striker in the defensive battle.

Barbosa still looks mediocre, and Russell thought he would grow into the sixth man mode faster, but now it seems that there are not so many opportunities for him to grow.

However, he learned from Russell's stability, and his efficiency is still good. He doesn't mess around very much, but the organizational method has not grown particularly.

But on a closer look, the Sun's offense is okay, but it is not as impressive as it was focused on Stoudemire last season.

The Warriors' not-so-strong defense certainly can't prevent the Suns, but the Suns haven't deliberately improved their tempo now.

Russell grabbed a few decent shots and got a double-double in the first half.

But it seems that he is no different from last season, and his shots are very cautious.

At the end of the first half, the Suns led by 7 points.

Not too much, but the defensive rhythm is still good. Russell smiled and said to everyone: "How do you feel? I think everyone can do better. The regular season is about to start. Now the outside world thinks that we cannot defend the title. It’s a little surprise for everyone.”

"Of course." Joe Johnson said concisely.

The other players also patted their chests one by one, and it was really cool to play with Russell.

With Russell leading them, they will not be afraid of any team. Although it is only a short training camp time, plus a few preseason games, Russell once again conquered everyone on the team.

They are also looking forward to what level Russell can achieve when he is fully fired.

In the second half, the morale of the Warriors fell. Although they wanted to play this game as a regular season, they also played Biedrins and played Fisher with two guards. They wanted to use offense to make a comeback, but the actual effect was not good.

After experiencing the playoffs, the Suns really feel that the Warriors' determination is nothing.

After the Warriors did not have the fifth position, the problem of protecting the frame was very serious, but they were even more powerless.

The preseason is not a game where no ball is needed, so after the Suns lead to double digits, the Warriors have no idea of ​​​​resisting, but are just testing the lineup.

Russell also left the court early to rest, allowing Barbosa to come up to exercise more.

In the last game of the preseason, the Suns beat the Warriors, completely ending the warm-up before the regular season.

Next, the new season is about to start, and this is the real battle. Any smoke bombs and self-confidence will show their truest side in the long regular season and in front of their real strength.

Russell talked eloquently to reporters, "The team's goal in the new season is to play well in every game. Now I'm not sure how far we can do it. But I can tell everyone that I practiced offense hard in the summer. You can Look forward to it!"
