NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 186 Win Again

"Small lineup vs. small lineup, the rhythm of the two teams is really fast."

"Actually, this is also very good-looking, almost never falls on the ground, and the scoring efficiency has improved a lot."

"What's the point of this? This is nonsense, that is, neither of these two teams has a strong inside line."

"Hehe, the Suns have the number one record in the league, can they get it by random fighting?"

"Actually, the Suns' lineup is not too small. It's just that they don't have a traditional inside lineup. But the Nuggets' perimeter is really small. The Suns' outside lineup can hit them casually. The Nuggets are now relying on three-pointers to hang their lives."

"The Nuggets are the Devil's home court, maybe the Suns are planted here."

It was indeed a bit tiring during this period, but Russell was quite happy to be able to hold high and fight high.

However, the defense of the Nuggets' back line is not very good, Russell did not play all by himself, Joe Johnson also had to play, Martin and even Iguodala also had to play.

They can shoot from the outside, or they can go in, and the Nuggets are undefended.

But Anthony, who is fully fired, is still strong, otherwise the Nuggets will not be able to support it.

That is, Anthony doesn't care much about three-pointers now, and the era when all kinds of singles can dominate the game with two points has passed, so although Anthony scored a lot this season, he is not qualified to compete for the scoring champion.

Now Russell and Kobe score the most, and the third Iverson can also beat the rest.

This season, the gap in the scoring list is really huge, and the top ten must be divided into several grades.

In the first half, Anthony scored the most points, but the Nuggets only had him with continuous output ability.

On the Sun's side, four players scored in double figures, playing very easily.

In terms of score, the Suns are slightly ahead, and it seems that the Nuggets also have hope.

After a long winning streak, the Suns are basically in this state, and rarely deal with the enemy in one go.

This shows that they are a little tired, and many teams can end their winning streak with a little more effort.

But the Suns will not deliberately waterproof, for example, they are still leading at halftime or the difference is not big, they must take it seriously in the second half.

To kill them, a sudden explosion is still needed, and the sun will not force it when the opponent is far ahead.

Their goal is still in the playoffs, and they don't care about winning or losing a few games in the regular season.

"To let Anthony score is to consume first, and to pinch at critical moments."

During the intermission, the coaching staff came up with strategies with ease.

When the opponent has only one player in trouble, it is really easy to solve the problem. Even if Anthony scores a few points, it will be fine. Therefore, teams with aspirations for the playoffs or higher goals are often dual-core or even triple-core.

It won't be long before the Big Three configuration is popular in the league, and it will not be so simple to have enough good players to double-team.

In fact, strong teams in the league have always needed a few strong points. The flood of the Big Three behind them is actually blocked by the media. There are not many real Big Three, which are similar to the current strong points and the earlier team configuration.

In the information age, the names of players are scary. If this is the case, the Suns can now call the Big Five.

The Suns really have several All-Star levels, and the lineup is very strong, but it is overshadowed by Russell.

And Russell and others are young and have become famous very quickly, and they have not been treated as giants in the league.

In fact, if Russell hadn't changed history, Joe Johnson would have gone to be the boss of other teams.

Now his qualifications are relatively light, even if Stoudemire is not there, he is not the second player on the team, which shows how powerful the Suns are. It is ridiculous that many people are not optimistic about the Suns before the start of the season.

In the second half, the Nuggets did not come up with any new tricks.

There is no one for them now, and there is nothing they can do if they want to change. Sun Bing Duo Jiang Guang is a bit of a bully.

Because the starting score was urgent, the Nuggets changed to a small lineup in just 4 minutes.

Coach George Karl is also the type who doesn't care much about defense. They plan to continue to attack with the Suns.

The Sun also accompanied him and replaced Gerald Wallace.

With the Nuggets' current lineup, Wallace can be used as an insider, both inside and out.

However, after the Nuggets played a small lineup, Boykins was really fast and felt bursting.

Russell can't keep up with the opponent's movement at all, as long as he finds some open space, this buddy can hit.

1 meters can play in the NBA for so many years, this buddy is really not an ordinary person.

Russell didn't struggle either, he just faced Boykins on the offensive end.

Russell didn't even need a screen, and he directly made a three-pointer.

This Boykins really can't guard against it, and the Nuggets don't know the problem, but they have nothing to do.

Seeing that Russell keeps scoring, they can only switch defenses and let Boykins defend taller players, at least others can't play like Russell.

After a change in front of him, Russell began to perform normally, and the result was that Joe Johnson, Marion and Wallace continued to score.

Their lineup is really capable of attacking, but the key is that their defense is also very good.

The Nuggets can't hold the score now, and their offense can only rely on the players' personal touch.

It is even more difficult to cooperate, and the Suns' defense will make them uncomfortable.

The Nuggets are speechless, and they have no other way, so let's keep fighting.

At the end of the quarter, Anthony even went over the inside, and Anthony really wanted to win.

But it is still a bit difficult to rely on him on both offense and defense.

He went all out and hit two goals in the middle of the last quarter, helping the team narrow the score gap to single digits.

But at the critical moment, Russell blocked the throat with a three-pointer, which directly knocked the Nuggets out of their hearts.

After winning again, the outside world is a little numb to the performance of the Suns.

In this game, the Suns had 4 players with 20+ points, which made Anthony, who scored 40+ points, helpless. He said in an interview after the game: "They are so crazy..."

Back at home, the Suns beat the Warriors again.

The Warriors got off to a good start this season, but now they're starting to stretch their hips again.

When the regular season reaches the third month, whether the team is a strong team or a dark horse will show its original shape.

In the long season, there will be no accidents.

Stoudemire has now started simple training. He and Russell said: "Seeing your performance on the court, I really can't wait to come back."

But Russell didn't encourage him. Russell said: "Amare, don't worry, we need you to be completely healthy. At that time, we will be a team that no one can beat."

Stoudemire smiled wryly to himself, how could he not be in a hurry, now there are many voices from the outside world, who think that the team is the same with him or without him, and it is the team's mistake to give him the maximum salary in advance.

With Stoudemire's pride, he really couldn't ignore those remarks.

He hopes to get back on the court soon and put on a super performance to shut everyone up.

Therefore, even if the team has a good record, he doesn't want to rest all the time.
