NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 171

"We athletes just want to play well. In order to play well and keep the team on track, it's okay to be strong." Russell instilled to Nash.

Nash sighed a little, "I wish I had your say in the Suns."

"In fact, your right to speak in the Eagles is not bad. You are the team's highest salary and the boss of the team. The management must definitely consider your needs first. Now that you have led the team to improve its performance, it shows that you are right. Yes. We need to be pure, and we must insist on what is right." Russell earnestly guided.

The Eagles are a bit stronger, and it doesn't matter if they add more obstacles to the East, anyway, they can't threaten the Suns.

If it weren't for Russell's support, Nash would not be so tough now.

He has also gained a lot this season, scoring and assists have reached career highs.

In this way, he played well, and the Eagles management also felt that the value given by the contract was a virtuous circle in terms of performance.

Nash is very greedy for the small lineup of the Suns, but he still needs to give the head coach a little face, so the current lineup of the Eagles is a bit like the starting lineup of the Suns, and they are all blue-collar insiders.

It’s just that the Eagles have three main players who are not three or four, Harrington, Josh Smith and Diaw, two of whom can swing to the fifth position. Yes, it is very suitable for Nash's performance, but also because of this, their speed cannot actually be increased to the level of the Suns.

Their head coach Woodson is still a little conservative, otherwise the Eagles still have a lot to do in the East.

The outside world has no expectations for this game, and Russell is still looking forward to it.

It's a pity that Nash wanted to perform too much in front of Russell, but he didn't play well.

Instead, Russell hit consecutively and played a good match with Marion and Varejao.

The Suns immediately gained a score advantage. When the rotation time entered, the Suns sacrificed five dead players, and the point difference was completely unstoppable.

Then the Eagles players gradually returned to normal, but unfortunately there was not much suspense left in the game.

In fact, Nash's play is not bad, but the comparison against Russell is a bit obvious.

In the communication after the game, Russell also repeatedly told Nash that they must play their own characteristics.

The Eagles can put up a lineup that other teams can't adapt to, and the way to attack is right.

Licking dog Joe Lewis wrote an article, saying that the league's No. [-] player, Russell is the only one, and there are two vacant positions in the middle. He is really too strong. There has never been such a guard leader in the history of the league.

This statement is actually not wrong. The former point guard boss Magician actually enjoyed the benefits of his body. Only Russell has a standard guard body. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the god of point guards.

The Suns have been advancing all the way, similar to the situation last season, and the league has gradually recognized it.

Then they will start back to back again, but the opponent is not very strong.

They have won eight consecutive victories, and the outside world is already guessing when they can win in a row.

On December 12, the Blazers visited.

The Blazers have worked hard to clear some big contracts, and this season is all about going into rebuilding.

The remaining big contracts cannot be reused, and the team is fully cultivating young players, making it clear that they want draft picks.

It's just that their summer draft was not considered a success. The Blazers' draft vision has always been average, and of course it's not particularly bad. It's just not that good, and their luck is not that good.

Of course, they still gave the team's scoring leader Randolph a good contract and wanted to train him.

Russell knew the follow-up, and the Blazers finally gave up this offensive insider with equally obvious advantages and disadvantages.

This season, the Trail Blazers' starting lineup only counts Randolph as a piece of material, and the others are crooked.

The Suns played like a bully, leading the opponent by 29+ at halftime.

Russell naturally clocked out of get off work in three quarters, but the Suns' bench lineup was still very excited.

All the players of the Suns played and scored. The substitutes beat the water dog. They killed the Blazers by 50 points, which can be called a tragedy.

As the worst offensive team in the league, the Trail Blazers are just like that.

Russell then followed the team to an away game against the Warriors to play back-to-back.

This is mainly due to the fatigue of traveling and traveling, and Russell also tried his best to adjust his state.

He is not afraid of any powerful opponents now, but he is worried about getting hurt, so he is very strict with himself.

With him as an example, young players will not form a correct value.

If the boss of the team likes to go out, then the young people will definitely follow along, which is not good for combat effectiveness.

As the boss of the team, Russell is absolutely qualified. His most activities are to take everyone to practice shooting.

But he often treats guests generously, and his teammates will not find him boring.

The Warriors started this season actually very well. Unlike last time, they put up a two-guard lineup this time, and Fisher also started, intending to compete with the Suns on offense.

In fact, there is no way, it is really impossible to prevent.

And now their grades are not bad, and their confidence has improved a lot.

But Russell is very clear that the Warriors will slump and become a rookie team again.

Among them are injuries, but the lack of hard power of the team is also one aspect.

There will be a few dark horses at the beginning of each season, but as the game progresses, these dark horses will reveal their prototypes.

For Dayang, it doesn't really matter how the Warriors are, anyway, they are much better than each other.

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors were in a state of momentum, forcing shots from various outside lines.

They may also have no choice. It doesn't matter what tactics they use to face the Suns, they can only try to be unreasonable.

Both Davis and Dunleavy performed well, especially Davis. He still has a lot of experience in how to fight Russell. Now that Russell is a big player in the league, he hopes to be able to suppress others.

It's just that it's not difficult for Russell to play Davis, and Russell is not impulsive. He always calls a screen, and then bypasses the defense to shoot. The hit rate is very guaranteed.

As long as Feyer, the fifth position of the Warriors, comes out with Varejao a little bit, Marion and Iguodala will have a chance to rush in and dunk. The same is true for Wallace when he comes up. This trick is very useful.

Especially after Russell's shooting became sharper, the defender's inside line must follow and delay. This is to give Russell more choices, and any defensive player will suffer unspeakably when facing him.

"Another offensive game, the Suns' game was really good."

"Beautiful isolation, Davis went straight to Russell, hit a beautiful shot."

"Super long distance! Russell's super long shot is reproduced, truly undefendable shot!"

The scores of the two teams rose staggered, and the turning point happened again during the rotation period.

In the case of Barbosa's truce again, the Suns' bench lineup still completely suppressed the Warriors, which is a real strength.
