NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 188
The outside world thinks that the Suns are strong because Russell is very conspicuous and there are more people on the team who can score.

In fact, the Pistons' record is not too bad, and no one thinks that the Pistons are invincible.

A strong offensive team really gives people a strong sense of sight, so Russell's All-Star votes are very stable.

He still overshadows the rest of the team, and of course Joe Johnson and Marion wouldn't be popular types without him.

Russell didn't even bother to advise them, and his temperament was not right.

At that time, wouldn't it be good to take a few more promotional videos? He has hundreds of millions of fans in China.

After the Suns lost to the Kings, they immediately set off to Los Angeles to play back-to-back away games. Many fans hoped that they would continue to start the winning mode, and many people were jealous of their record and hoped to see their losing streak.

However, the Clippers, who have won the Suns once, are not that strong.

The Clippers are undoubtedly stronger this season, but they just played more reasonably, and the player's ability has not changed too much.

Cassell is old no matter how stable he is, and he is not the star who decides the game.

The last time the Suns had a problem with their own offense, the other was that the Clippers had an X factor.

Brand's strength can be predicted, and the outbreak of the old cat Mobley is an accident.

So this time, the Suns are ready to stare at the outside of the Clippers.

Just let the Clippers play the inside twin towers, so they won't have surprises.

Mobley is actually not at his peak anymore, and at his peak he was a quasi-All-Star.

Joe Johnson has now surpassed the opponent's peak strength. He didn't play well last time, and Joe Johnson was very concerned, so this game locked Mobley from the beginning, plus a strong offensive singles.

Last time Mobley felt good, but this time Joe Johnson was staring at him and he couldn't stand it. The Clippers had only Cassel to beat Russell on the outside, but Kassel could only play slowly, which had little impact.

The other is Brand, and Brand is also the Clippers' first offensive point.

Marion is still defending alone, and he has made enough preparations. He shouldn't need to attack at this point. Marion and Wallace take turns to consume.

Brand is strong, but his height also limits his lethality.

And Varejao will not suffer too much against Kaman. The Suns used their regular play in the first half. They plan to speed up in the second half and get rid of the Clippers' two insiders.

But what they didn't expect was that the Clippers didn't hold up in the first half.

There is no doubt that the bench burst.

In the contest of the main lineup, Russell, Joe Johnson and Marion all performed normally, and the opponent was also prepared to bite the score.

But the Clippers' lineup needs rest for several strong points, and they need to rotate the lineup to perform.

However, the Clippers' bench lineup is not strong.

After the return of Sun Barbosa, there are too many people they can fight.

After Barbosa, Martin and Wallace showed their strength together, the Suns easily gained the lead.

This is the gap in the lineup, there is no way, and Livingston, who the Clippers have high hopes for, still hasn't played out. The Clippers are still not strong enough in front of strong teams this season.

Therefore, some people outside hope that the Clippers can beat the Suns again, which is obviously impossible.

In the third quarter, several strong points of the Clippers were ready to fight hard, and they played very aggressively.

But the sun didn't get used to them, and Russell also went crazy, and several consecutive three-pointers directly extinguished the opponent's momentum.

After failing to do it in the third quarter, the Clippers became much weaker.

They started to drop the tempo because the players couldn't run anymore.

Cassel has rich experience and constantly competes with the Suns for the rhythm of the game, but it is of no use.

The Suns can play fast, and they can play slow, but the Clippers can't get up now, so the game will be finalized.

The Suns played very strongly in this game, and the media also said that this is the Sun's anger from yesterday's loss.

Actually not, it's just that they are wary of the Clippers this time.

The Saints will not fall against the same opponent twice, hehe, the team can't say that, but the strong team will definitely not lose twice in the same pattern.

Now that the All-Star voting is almost over, Russell is also concerned about the results of the last votes announced after returning to Phoenix.

The most popular players in the West are Dayao, Russell and Kobe. McGrady is still not as popular as last season, mainly due to the poor record of the Rockets.

Therefore, it is wise for this buddy to take the initiative to change his position.

There should not be much change in the last few days. Russell feels that he will not be able to surpass Dayao this year.

As for the starting position, he and Kobe are very stable, and they have no competitors at all.

On the day the vote was announced, Kobe happened to bring the Lakers to Phoenix.

The direct contest of popular defenders obviously attracted a lot of attention.

Of course, Russell will definitely not match up with Kobe, and the Suns are much stronger than the Lakers.

The Lakers are now a fringe team in the playoffs, fully supported by Kobe.

Compared with the last time, the Lakers' starting fifth position has changed. Kwame Brown has no confidence to play well, and the Lakers' biggest deal in the summer has failed.

In fact, the Lakers' vision of building a team is still in the past, so they must get inside.

In fact, they just need to keep better players. Isn't Butler better?

But it's hard to say, because Kwame Brown traded Gasol later, and the Lakers really have a way.

Of course, the situation may change now, at least the Lakers will not have the right to sign Gasol Jr.

Everyone knows that good players are not easy to grab. Wouldn't Russell, the strong player in the second round, not grab it? With his help, the Suns will become a team with a talent in the draft.

Back in the game, the Lakers are also very interested in beating the Suns.

Russell is now competing with Kobe for the All-Star popularity and scoring title. Kobe doesn't care about it on the surface, but he really wants to suppress Russell.

So as soon as the game started, Kobe turned on the personal mode, and if he didn't pass the ball, he would attack.

However, the defense Kobe encounters now is stronger than last season. Both Joe Johnson and Iguodala are upgraded versions of last season.

Russell saw that Kobe was interested in soaring points, and immediately responded.

He pulled out the last time in a row and finally hit a three-pointer, and then said to Kobe: "Man, how about our competition?"

Kobe looked disdainful, and then silently started at the three-point line.

Russell is a little happy, Kobe is too easily stimulated, and Russell is better at three-pointers.

As a result, the two sides started a fight with iron, and Russell's hit rate would definitely not be so high if he forced it.

It's just that he always sends out a few assists smoothly, which is much smarter than Kobe who keeps attacking.
