NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 161 Winning streak
The Lakers also bit the score in the third quarter and kept up with the Suns' offensive rhythm.

It's not that Kobe is super god. Of course, Kobe did not stop scoring, but the Lakers' surprise was Odom, who hit two consecutive three-pointers.

The Lakers are not particularly strong in three-pointers, but they just dared to shoot, and they felt that the offense was overwhelming.

However, the Suns' offense was more stable, and Russell's scheduling made them have no problem with their lead.

On the other hand, it is also because the Lakers' lineup is very contradictory. Kwame Brown has no offensive power.

Of course, Kwame Brown's defense is not very good, and there is no defense, so the Lakers still didn't let this buddy play for too long, although the summer replacement also cost a lot of money.

In this case, the sun began to hit the Lakers' basket continuously.

The Lakers got into trouble with the Mavericks in front. Marion, Iguodala and Wallace rushed in, and they couldn't stop them at all. To be precise, they were even worse because their defense was not as good as the Mavericks.

When Odom was on the inside, he couldn't compare to the soft Nowitzki in the outside world.

Substituting the Lakers must be hopeless. In fact, as long as Kobe goes to rest, they are completely weak teams.

If this is the playoffs, Kobe will definitely not rest.

But this is just the regular season, and it is a bit too much to let the stars not rest now, so Kobe took a symbolic rest for 2 minutes in the second half.

In these 2 minutes, the Lakers fell behind by 7 points.

Kobe wanted to go up and hit someone. What kind of teammates are these?

The key is that Russell is still resting at this time, and the Suns rely on Barbosa and Martin to abuse the Lakers.

After playing again, Kobe didn't care about anything else, just let it go.

Sometimes it's not a question of tactics or not, but aggrieved. Kobe urgently needs to take a shot to relieve his emotions.

Why can O'Neal do so well after leaving, but it is so difficult for him to stay in the Lakers.

Kobe continued to make singles shots, and occasionally broke through to score a goal, hoping to score a few more three-pointers from the outside.

But Odom's luck ran out in the third quarter, and now it's turning iron again.

The others couldn't do it, they couldn't make any open shots, and Kobe was desperate.

Now that the Suns have started to pinch, no matter how strong Kobe is, he won't be able to play a team.

On the Suns side, Russell can be said to be strolling in the garden, switching back and forth between scoring and passing.

The Lakers' inside line is undefended in front of them, but the Lakers dare not shrink. The Suns really have three points.

Moreover, the experienced coach Jackson didn't figure out how to defend the Suns when they played pick-and-rolls after halftime. If other teams did this, he wouldn't even look at it. What's the threat if they can't reach the three-point line?
But the Suns are threatening. Russell has a long range. The Suns' current lineup can shoot three-pointers, and they don't need to enter the three-point line to play well.

But if the Lakers' defense follows, the Suns' striker will also be very sharp in breaking through.

The Suns players are really beasts. It is completely unreasonable to be able to shoot three-pointers with such strong physical fitness.

In previous basketball, dunkers and pitchers were often not the same kind of people, but with the continuous development of modern basketball, players have become more and more versatile. Many players who are not all-stars can also shoot and pass.

This is the future development trend of basketball. If you can't do it, at least you need to have 3D skills.

Russell showed the future of basketball in advance, and also posed a big problem for other teams in the league.

Professionals in the league are not stupid, they should be able to think of some countermeasures after slowly studying, but in the middle of a game, no matter how strong the coach is, it is impossible to solve it.

Moreover, Zen Master is the kind of coach who is partial to chicken soup, and now he can only watch Kobe struggling.

Kobe did well to reach 40 points, but the Suns are still leading by double digits.

At the end of the game with the sound of the Lakers striking iron, Russell's 30+20 data is extremely amazing compared to Kobe's empty cut.

After the game, he told reporters: "I just realized that scoring ability and organizational ability can complement each other. I practiced hard in the summer. I am very pleased that I can help the team win smoothly."

Reporter Haha, you have a reason to win, but you can be so strong after practicing for a summer, it's a lie.

No, he just became so much stronger in one summer.

After two consecutive performances, everyone has imagined that he is not just a good hand, but a real evolution.

It is still uncertain to what extent it has evolved, but the defense of the Suns will definitely have to make changes.

After two consecutive victories, the coaching staff of the Suns also breathed a sigh of relief. They still have something to do this season.

On the training field, the young people of the team admire Russell very much.

Russell can lead them to win games, and he can also make good passes for them to score easily.

The team's backcourt players are also working hard to learn from Russell, hoping to be as dazzling as him.

"Everyone, the first point is to practice shooting well, especially the three-pointer."

"Especially you, buddy." Russell patted Gerrard, "You want to go further, shooting is a hurdle that you can't get around, Amare didn't care much about shooting before, but later found that if you can't shoot well, you can't be top. You have the physicality to be a top player and it can't be wasted."

Wallace has always had some problems with his shooting, which is a common problem for players with good physical fitness.

Before entering the NBA, they could be invincible with their bodies, and shooting really didn't feel important.

But it’s not good in the NBA, let alone them, James’ shooting is not that good and there are restrictions. What kind of physical fitness is James, historical level, and his shooting is not too bad.

Wallace is still angry. He will only be upset when the Kings don't give him a chance. He doesn't pay much attention to the basket, and he still feels that the team discriminates against him.

But Russell said differently now, the Suns still valued him more, but no other team gave him so much dollars in the summer, and he was very comfortable playing beside Russell.

Moreover, many people credited Russell for Stoudemire's success last season. Wallace performed well in the first two games, and he definitely hopes to get more recognition.

The Suns are the defending champions, and he is still young, so he feels that he has a good chance of making his worth higher.

The sun's training atmosphere is good. Everyone follows Russell to practice shooting. The more people the team can shoot, the easier it will be to break through the defense of other teams.

Next, the Suns will usher in the first back-to-back of the season, and the first game is going to Utah.

The same is still relatively close to the west, unlike some away games that are too far away.

After the Jazz got Fatty Deron, they got off to a good start, and they also won two consecutive victories.

After the bad performance, the normal Jazz is a typical defensive team.

Their team defends well, with help defense and meat shields. The Suns have to find a way to speed up when fighting against such an opponent.

Facing opponents with different styles is also a good opportunity to test and improve the team.
