NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 170
"It's all my responsibility." Carlisle said after the game, "We didn't restrict a superstar very well, which taught us a lesson."

"But I want to talk about the fighting spirit of the players, we can't just watch him score like this on the court."

D'Antoni said to reporters: "I am not surprised that he can do such a good thing. He is a great basketball player. I can tell from the first sight of him."

"You have to understand that Russo is that good in training, so I just thought, he's going to be like that, he's going to do everything on the pitch."

Russell was also very happy to pretend, "As a player, there will always be times when your hands tell you that you can hit the ball. My teammates and coaches support me, so this will not be the last time."

Varejao, who got a double-double, also took the opportunity to flatter him, "Russell is such a great player, as long as you fight with him, you will become the championship, it's that simple."

It's time for all teams to report for the All-Star candidates. The Suns are paying a lot of attention now. Russell is definitely a big player in the league. He can face it calmly this time.

The Suns' games in December were much more intensive. This is the case in the regular season. There are times when you are relaxed and when you are tired. Russell also greeted the coaching staff and team medical team, and ensuring the health of the players is the most important task.

Stoudemire claimed to be recovering well, but Russell knew that this guy's knees were not so good.

If there are some more injuries, this season can really only be low-key.

The game in December will still start at the home court, and the American West Arena will soon change its name and sponsors.

Fans may still be a little bit reluctant, but it's all temporary.

Russell doesn't care about these, as long as he leads the team to continue to maintain the winning percentage.

On the 2nd, they sat at home and ushered in the challenge of the Nuggets.

The Nuggets have changed their style since George Karl took over in the middle of last season, from a defensive team to an offensive team.

Coach George Karl's temper is not very good, but he still has a bit of offense.

It's just that he doesn't have a good vision for young players, and he doesn't have much patience.

The chicken soup ability is not very insufficient, and he often has a bad relationship with the players.

The Nuggets have had a good start this season. Their team leader Anthony has grown into a powerful All-Star. The team configuration is not bad, but there are often some injuries. Leading to a lack of insiders.

Now the Nuggets' inside line looks scary, with violent power forward Martin and Camby, the block king.

However, Martin is an offensive type who needs the help of a guard, and Camby is a well-known brush inside.

The block leader with double rebounds is not good at defense. I have never seen it before. Camby's blocks are not for assisting defense, but for statistics. Whiteside behind him is also in this style.

Depends on the opponent's stats, it's better than Duncan's defense, but the Suns are submissive against the Spurs inside. Facing the Nuggets, Varejao has rebounds and points. It feels like a European technology insider.

Of course, Camby can score too, either uselessly or not so usefully.

The Nuggets are relatively troublesome guards Andre Miller and Anthony. The Suns consume Anthony in turns first, and the Suns' forward defense is absolutely good.

If Anthony explodes, they can upgrade to flanking.

As a veteran offensive coach, George Karl doesn't pay much attention to three-pointers at this time, so if double-teaming is needed, the Suns will not hesitate.

On Miller's side, he can also beat Russell a few times by relying on rhythm.

Miller doesn't look tall and unhappy, and his shooting is average, but he can really grasp the opportunity, Russell feels it is worth learning.

But Russell has cheats, so there is definitely no need to play like Miller, you can just refer to it.

However, Martin did not have enough good support, and became an invisible man under Marion's defense.

In the first quarter of the game, both sides were testing, and the score was still indistinguishable at the beginning.

But when it came to the rotation period, the Suns exerted their strength.

This gap is really too big. Now the sixth man of the Nuggets is Boykins with a height of 1 meters. Facing the sun with a group of long arms, he really can't exert his power.

And there is no rotation inside, and their basket is almost broken by the sun's youngsters.

Unstoppable, the current team with insufficient substitutes has a similar feeling when encountering the Suns.

The impact of the Suns' rotation was too strong. Their starting players desperately bit the score, and the substitute players came up with a double-digit gap. Has their mentality collapsed?

The substitute lineup has led by double digits, and Russell and other main lineups will certainly not be wasted.

At the end of the first half, the Suns still had a double-digit lead.

In the third quarter, they encountered a little accident, that is, the Nuggets broke out.

Anthony made various three-pointers and two-pointers, but Miller was brazenly beaten by Russell.

Seeing that the score was about to catch up, the Suns changed their strategy after a timeout.

They took it easy and double-teamed Anthony directly, and then Russell showed aggression. He didn't hit Miller with his back, but just shot each other, which also made the other party lose his temper.

Just like that, Russell wants to see who dares to single him out in the future.

Anyone who bullies him, he will pay back double, that's how arrogant Gubi is.

After withstood this wave of attacks, the Nuggets were completely wilted. They couldn't beat each other even if they exploded, and it was not a crime of war.

After a burst of response, Russell scored 40 points.

This season, Russell has become an unsolvable scorer, and it feels like he is heading for the scoring champion.

And his current competitor, it can be said that there is only Kobe, and the average points of the two are much more than No.3.

After the game, the reporter asked him if he was interested in the scoring champion. Russell said calmly, "I never care about statistics, all I care about is winning the game."

He didn't lie, the data was incidental.

Of course, if there is hope at the end of the season, he doesn't mind doing it, it's just that wayward.

After the Nuggets, the Suns will face the challenge of the Eagles, the spoiler in the East.

The Eagles finally got some form this season. Nash publicly expressed his admiration for the Suns' style of play many times.

Now the Eagles' starters, Nash, Diaw and Bell, were originally the Suns' starters in history, and Russell was a little bit embarrassed when he saw it.

Nash has a very good relationship with Russell now. After the two changed their contact information last season, they communicated frequently. Nash is very envious of the Suns' tactics, and it can be said that he patiently asked for advice.

He is also an All-Star, but he has never been as brilliant as Russell. Russell is a little embarrassed and often gives him advice. Nash now regards Russell as a good teacher and helpful friend.

As soon as he arrived in Phoenix, he naturally came to look for Russell. There was nothing wrong with him.
