NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 169 Shining
On November 11, the Suns played against the Raptors at home.

The Raptors started this season in a mess, and they can be directly smashed.

In fact, Bosh has been improving, but the other players are too average, and the team's defense is not good, so they can't win the ball at all.

The current lineup of the Raptors is locked up by inexplicable contracts. The group of people with high salaries basically can't play any balls. Except for Bosh, the young players are all average.

In the summer, they exchanged streetball king Alston for Mike James. Mike James is a sixth man style. When he came to the Raptors, he only scored points, but the team organization was still in a mess.

The Raptors are now considered an offensive team, but under the defense of the Suns, they can't play at the offensive end at all.

The sun didn't knock the opponent to death with a hammer, he just pressed the opponent to fight, and won the game calmly.

It must be no problem to play the weak chickens at home. The Suns will fly to Houston to play against the Rockets next.

It was not easy to play back-to-back away games, but the Rockets had a bad year and McGrady was injured and truceed.

The Rockets, who were already very weak offensively, suddenly became weaker. The Suns completely suppressed the opponent from the beginning.

How to say the Rockets' lineup is a group of old, weak, sick and disabled.

Their management really doesn't know how to match the team, but it may also be because of poor vision. Anyway, none of the outside shots are reliable.

The Suns came up to flank Yao Ming, and the Rockets' players could only shoot wildly from the outside, but their rhythm was not good, and their shooting percentage was much worse than that of the Suns. The Suns beat the Raptors more easily than before.

Playing the game was so easy, Russell and Dashou went to find Yao Ming to play together, everyone was in a good mood to communicate with each other, and Russell became popular again.

He has now started to be active on the Internet and is at the forefront of the times.

Seeing that other stars have not yet realized how to gain popularity, Russell has a slight sense of superiority.

Back at home for a rest day, the Suns ushered in a challenge from the Nets.

The Nets are almost the same, Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson are three strong points.

They didn't add insiders in the summer, but the two young men, Krstic and Collins, have another season of experience. Their lineup is also so-so in the East. There is no problem in the playoffs. How far they want to go depends on luck.

What should the Nets say, the offense is still too poor, and there is no substitute.

The Three Musketeers are not superstars, so they are not destined to be very competitive.

The Suns like this kind of team with a weak offense and a poor interior.

Because their only weakness is gone, Kidd can rebound better than a real insider.

The guard's ability to grab rebounds is not much useful except for the speed of offensive and defensive transitions. After all, guards can't protect the frame, but the Nets don't speed up very much. Kidd's rebounding ability is a waste.

The basketball was blocked by the Suns at the beginning of the game. The opponent had three strong points. Kidd really only needed to pass the ball, and his passing was still of a relatively stable type, which could not directly kill the game, so the Suns only needed to pass the ball. Just stand up to Carter and Jefferson.

For the defense on the front and back, the Suns are not only the strongest, but also the league's top tier. It can be said that they completely restrain the Nets.

It's a pity that they can't make it to the East, otherwise how easy it would be for them to play against such a team in the finals.

In the first half, except for the Nets scoring in three strong points, everyone else basically could only watch. The Suns with a strong substitute met the Nets without a substitute, so there was no pressure.

The main force of the Nets couldn't win, so the sun won the game without any surprises.

Up to now, the Suns' No. [-] in the league seems to be quite stable.

Seeing the Suns' game, many professionals have to doubt themselves, and it feels unscientific.

How can they play so well? If the Suns make an All-Star number one in the league, will other teams still have to live?

Now that the league has the sun, the former overlord OK combination is rarely mentioned.

In a flash, it was the end of the month, and it was only one month since the start of the new season.

Since the beginning of the regular season, Russell has been following the team every day, and has to worry about team affairs during the break, which is actually quite busy.

Think about it, it's really comfortable in summer, but fortunately he doesn't need to worry about other things.

The last opponent in November is the Pacers. Except for Miller's retirement, the Pacers have kept the main lineup, which is considered strong.

It's just that they can no longer find the feeling of momentum at the beginning of last season.

The Pacers have forced Wang Bird to do a good job in team building and drafting, but there is a problem with the players' spirit.

Miller helped watch before, but now that he has retired, O'Neal is a little bit overwhelmed.

In addition, their three-pointers are still not very good, and the offensive end has not kept up with the new era.

At the beginning of the game, the Pacers, a strong team in the East, did not show their strength.

The key is that both Artest and Jackson encountered a strong defense on the Sun's side, and they can only rely on O'Neal to open up inside.

The first thing that went wrong was their best defense. They hadn't encountered a team of the Suns' level before, so they were a bit careless.

Their guard Tinsley was born in the street, his shooting is not very good, and his defensive awareness is also very average.

Russell felt more comfortable playing when he came up, and he made consecutive shots, and Marion also felt good, and the Suns immediately led to double digits.

The Suns' offensive power is so strong. They have problems with Russell's defense, and things happen every minute.

The Pacers have no choice but to replace the European player Jascovicius, who they signed directly in the summer.

Jaskovicius, known as the king of Europe, is a very mature defender.

He can indeed play Russell after he comes up, but his defense is really not good, and he can't adapt to the NBA at all.

So Russell continued to score, no matter how he made three-pointers, he felt completely unstoppable.

The Pacers were completely confused, and they didn't know how to fight.

They are not an offensive team, and they are good at defense when they meet the Suns, so the score gap cannot be narrowed at all.

In just one quarter, the Suns established an absolute advantage.

Russell didn't even think it would be so easy to beat the Pacers. This is the result of a problem with the strategy.

Russell also understands the impact of the superstar's offensive power on the team. If the opponent's defense against him is not good this season, he can kill a team by himself.

Pacers coach Carlisle is also the top iron, he just doesn't arrange players to double-team Russell who feels overwhelming.

As a result, Russell began to happily score performances.

In the first half, he scored 30 points.

In the third quarter, he was even more fired up and directly killed 50 points.

In this way, the final quarter of the game became garbage time.

And Russell reached 50+ for the second time this season, shining in the American West Arena and receiving countless admiring eyes.
