NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 176 Confused
"Facing the double-teaming of the Suns, Nowitzki's choice is to hit the inside... Nowitzki's performance at the critical moment was really tough, and Varejao fouled again. This move is useless for Nowitzki. His free throw percentage is much better than Duncan's."

"Russell jumped up and passed the ball. He was really brave. Iguodala, who had no presence in front of him, made a layup, and the Suns still maintained their advantage."

"Varejao made six fouls, and Nowitzki's performance allowed the Mavericks to always maintain the possibility of winning. The Suns directly replaced the small lineup. With their style, there is almost no conservative time."

Nowitzki is different from Duncan. Wang Zhizhi will not be effective if he cannot prevent fouls. Therefore, after Varejao went down, the Suns stopped playing inside and went directly to a smaller lineup.

Defense against Nowitzki still requires Marion and Wallace, which are relatively flexible.

If the two of them flank each other, Nowitzki probably won't be able to deal with it, and it won't be so easy to fight high.

When the Suns changed to a small lineup, they immediately played a successful counterattack and scored 3 points.

The pressure on the Mavericks became even greater as the speed of the Suns had increased to a point where they couldn't handle it.

With the last 3 minutes left, the Mavericks also chose a small lineup because they wanted to chase points.

In order to keep up with the speed of the Suns, they chose double guards, and Harris, who performed mediocrely, was replaced because of his speed.

But at this time, Nowitzki was already having a hard time finding opportunities. Wallace and Marion were bothering Nowitzki at any time.

When Nowitzki arrived at the last minute, he finally made a foul by Marion and stood at the free throw line, but the Mavericks were still 1 points behind after he made two free throws.

Then Terry hit the iron with a three-pointer. Although the sun didn't hit it when he came back, time was running out.

The second match between the Suns and the Mavericks this season ended with the Suns winning again.

Russell, on the other hand, was one of the rare assists who did not score in double figures. Under the attack of the Mavericks, he scored 40 points instead.

It's all because the first half played high and basically didn't pass the ball, and Russell didn't pay attention to the data.

When the reporter asked after the game, he also said: "I don't care about this at all, I only have victory in my eyes."

Compelling style is very good, anyway, no matter what the data is, just don’t forget to pretend to be aggressive.

In terms of All-Star voting, Russell is still making high-profile publicity. He did it once last season, and the Suns players are also familiar with it.

But they still don't have Russell's temperament, and the fans support much less.

Russell even wanted to trade Yao Ming, and Dayao took us with him.

The Suns continued their away game and ushered in back-to-back away games.

In the first game, they defeated the Hornets. The Suns beat the Hornets really easily. Marion is too restrained now, David West, who has not yet entered his peak period.

And Martin also broke out high scores on the bench. He scored more points than Paul, who scored the highest score for the Hornets. How could the Hornets' rotten attack power pose a threat to the Suns? Russell didn't even bother to bully Paul.

What the Suns value more is the second game against the Grizzlies, how the Grizzlies are also a playoff team.

Facing the Suns, the Grizzlies took the initiative to let Gasol go to the fifth position to form a small lineup.

Because of Gasol's growth this season, the Grizzlies are also a little bit self-confident and feel that they should prepare for a breakthrough in the playoffs, so facing the Suns, they have also drawn up tactics in detail and are fully prepared.

They pushed Battier to the four, which was actually a good move.

Although Battier is not as good as Marion in physical fitness, he is barely available.

This kind of striker who can defend with three points goes to the fourth position, and there will be more and more in the future.

At the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies still played well, and their defense is really more like the Spurs now.

The upgraded Gasol is more aggressive on the offensive end, a bit like Nowitzki plus Duncan.

Varejao is really at a disadvantage against Gasol, but Varejao is also smart, that is, to squeeze people out, so that Gasol's rebounds will be affected.

The Grizzlies have a strong defense, but like the Spurs, individual defenses are somewhat weak.

Their No. [-] position has become the little flying squirrel, and of course it is the old flying squirrel now.

Defense is a big problem for short teams when they get old. Russell always pulls on the opponent's head, always ignoring the defense.

With incredible scoring, Russell's shooting percentage is much better than that of Mike.

No matter how strong the Grizzlies' overall defense is, Russell's individual singles made him feel a little wrong.

The Grizzlies also tried to switch defenses. Although Eddie Jones' footsteps were not as fast as at his peak, he still had defensive experience, and his defense was three grades better than that of Little Flying Squirrel.

But Little Momonga couldn't defend against Joe Johnson. The Suns could break the Grizzlies' overall defense by single-handedly playing him. In such a situation, Coach Fratello couldn't help but spread his hands. It was really helpless.

The Grizzlies didn't get suitable players at all during the summer. The team's tactics now rely entirely on the defense that is more fierce than last season. Let alone the offense, but the defensive end is also blind to encounter players like the Suns. .

The Grizzlies' No. [-] position is really bad now. They should really match Gasol with a good guard, so that the Grizzlies might really have a chance to break through in the playoffs.

It's a pity that there is no if. Now the Grizzlies are considered to be a slanted team in the West. They can play against weak teams, but they will not be so good when they meet strong teams.

The Suns are still showing off during the rotation period, and their bench lineup is to bully the Grizzlies.

Martin took off again, taking control of the rotation time with Wallace.

Among the Suns' substitutes, only Martin is a pure scorer, but he can afford to score.

The Suns quickly gained the lead, and the Grizzlies were a little sad.

A team with a slanted sword has too poor offensive power. As long as the score is stretched a little, they will find it difficult to play.

And to completely prevent the sun from dying, how is that possible?Is being Russell a display?

The Suns' main lineup is stable, and this season is more stable than last season because the defense is better.

As long as they are ahead, they can play a lot of tricks and make their opponents desperate.

"Marion's help defense is really strong, and it's a block again."

"Iguodala is also strong. He doesn't show his strengths, but he is much more mature than last season. Both defense and offense are improving steadily. This Suns team is really very talented."

"I really don't understand how the Suns did it. The offense is so good, the defense is also good, the rotation is still good, and they are very good as the defending champion."

"Haha, Russell can rest assured to rest for a few more minutes now, champion of the Suns!"

Seize the opportunity to be able to lead, this is the sun.

After trying their best, they were still behind in the first half. The Grizzlies players had complicated emotions. Is this the gap between them and the defending champion? It's a bit confusing.
