NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 180 The end of the year
"What level of team we are now, I don't care what you say, and it doesn't matter what you say. On the basketball court, only the record can explain everything. Please look forward to it." Russell pretended to be very skillful.

But the number one record in the league is so good, and the presence of the Pistons following behind is much less.

The Pistons lack an All-Star like Russell, their style of play is not good, and the team is not grand.

Moreover, compared to the Suns, their strength is a bit weak, and the records of other teams with news breaking points are not so good, so the Suns are attracting more and more attention.

At the end of the year, the Suns' games are all away games, and they will fight on the road until 2006.

Russell also prepared gifts for everyone on the team, players, coaching staff, and other staff.

He is now relying on advertising revenue to beat most of the league's stars, and being rich is self-willed.

The away game in the West is not too sad. Of course, it is still a bit far to go to Minnesota, and it is still very cold there.

The Timberwolves are also relatively cold-hearted this season. Their lineup has changed drastically and they have returned to the ranks of weak chickens.

It doesn't matter if the team doesn't keep the three-headed monster, and if they don't actively reinforce in the summer, Garnett is also very depressed.

After the playoffs, it is difficult to enjoy the days of the weak chickens safely.

Of course, the Timberwolves still didn't give up at the beginning, but it was only at the end that they found that they had nowhere to go.

Now the Timberwolves are mainly offensive. Garnett's iron-blooded jumper needs a suitable guard to play pick-and-rolls. The ability to attract defense alone is not too strong, so it is not difficult to prevent them.

At the start of the game, the Suns pinched Szczerbiak from the outside, and then let people stare at Garnett, and it was over.

The Timberwolves' defense mainly relies on Garnett's defense range, which is not considered the top in the league. The Suns can shoot them to death from the outside.

There is also a way to go in, just pick and roll Garnett out.

The Timberwolves had no one inside, so they switched Garnett to the fifth position in order to attack.

The Suns used Varejao to consume Garnett for a while and then switched to a small lineup. Garnett's defensive deterrence is similar to Duncan's, but the offensive lethality is not so great. The Suns' small lineup is enough.

However, Garnett was a little entangled, defending against the emptiness of the team inside, and starting shooting if he didn't defend against the Suns.

Moreover, the Suns' bench exploded again, and Wallace scored 30+.

What a concept, the Suns bench has two ruthless characters who can get 30+, how do others play.

Russell made a small show in the third quarter, and the Timberwolves' game was completely over.

Remembering that the Timberwolves were once the Suns' nemesis last season, Russell felt a little embarrassed.

The current Timberwolves are so weak that the Suns can kill them casually, and they will not slow down for many years. Competitive sports are really cruel.

D'Antoni said after the game: "The young people on the team are talented, which is really great. I never worry about the team's results, because I see unlimited possibilities in them."

Wallace also said, "The Suns are the defending champions. I know how to win here. I have become better than before. I look forward to continuing to grow."

The Suns continued their winning streak, but it was difficult to play away games.

They first fought in the west, and then went to the east two days later, and the journey was exhausting.

They encountered the Wizards again, but this time it was much easier to play, because Arenas didn't feel good and missed one three-pointer. Without his strong point, the Suns played more easily.

After taking the Wizards lightly, the Suns have won eight consecutive victories.

In 2005, there was only one back-to-back team left. Everyone hoped that there would be a good link between the past and the future, but it was acceptable if they lost. The team's performance was good, and everyone's mentality was relatively peaceful.

In the first back-to-back away game, they faced the Bobcats.

The Bobcats are also depressed this season. Wallace was robbed by the Suns, so they had to continue to focus on Okafor, who is not particularly good in attacking power, but Okafor was injured again.

The Bobcats can only focus on the perimeter. The short guard Knight and the Raymond Felton they want to train are both performing well. In addition, the European insider Brezek can barely top it, but Sean May is not good at all and is suffering from injuries. .

Of course, Matt Carroll, who was forced to top, also performed well.

Anyway, the record is still not good at all, so let's play like this.

As a new team, the Bobcats can't do both offensive and defensive ends, and the team is poor, so it's definitely not competitive.

In fact, they don't mind the record, but they are afraid that they will not be able to continue playing, so they are actively contacting the basketball god Jordan to join, and it is estimated that it will be achieved soon.

Then they can laugh at God's draft vision to their heart's content, but buying a team will definitely not lose money. The Suns have raised hundreds of millions of dollars, and the Bobcats will rise more slowly.

Faced with the Bobcats, who don't even have a quasi-All-Star, the Suns naturally controlled the situation from the beginning.

But there is no crushing. The Bobcats are still playing seriously, but their strength is not enough.

The Suns did not tyrannize their opponents, they just kept leading until the end of the game.

Facing his old club, Wallace didn't perform as hard as some players did, but just played plainly.

On the contrary, Martin has performed well again, and Martin's reputation is getting bigger and bigger now.

A bench player is meant to score, and there's nothing more compelling than that.

There is no challenge against the Bobcats, but the last game at the end of the year, the Bulls still have to be serious.

The Bulls decisively let Curry go and keep Chandler, and no longer play the Twin Towers, which is a bit of a trick.

They don't need to spend any high salaries now, just mixing in the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, which is not bad.

Of course, they must not be satisfied, after all, their ancestors were rich, but the next Jordan is really hard to find.

Now the Bulls are playing both offensive and defensive routines, but they are not top-notch in both aspects, that is, they can mix in the East.

The team also has no real star players now. Ben Gordon, who has the most offensive power, is completely a sixth-man style of play and can't drive his teammates at all. The Bulls are not very optimistic about him.

Chandler is a blue-collar player, and Hinrich is well-behaved. From this point of view, Luol Deng has a future.

Even compared with the rookies of the Suns, Luol Deng is not very good.

The Bulls really want to have their own superstars, free market signings and drafts are all possible, they don't pick.

A lot of teams don't pick either, so it's not an easy task.

Facing the Suns, they also hope to work hard. After all, the Suns are playing back-to-back away games, and they still have hope.

Teams with a lot of young people hope to kill the strong teams in the league to improve morale. Young people with morale will perform completely differently, so they still pay more attention to the game.

At the beginning of the game, Loel Deng challenged Marion, playing lively.

Russell is still a little bit lonely. He is challenged almost every game now. Hinrich is not so active and he is not used to it.
