NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 193 Opponents
After O'Neal's explosive power dropped and he moved more slowly, Russell felt that the Suns had a clear advantage over the Heat.

But the premise is that Wade and O'Neal don't explode, so thinking about it is similar to last season.

This season, the Heat's player allocation is more reasonable, there are suitable rotations inside and outside the line, and the overall strength is still stronger than last season, but only in terms of these, the Suns are the strongest team in the league.

Russell felt that he was a little inflated. After careful analysis, it seemed that there was no problem playing against the Heat and Pistons. These two teams seemed to be good in strength, but their key players had declined.

To be honest, Russell is not particularly worried about Wade. The Suns can't be troubled by a strong player on the outside, especially an outside player like Wade who doesn't have a three-pointer.

Today's players really don't pay attention to three-pointers. Wade's three-pointers don't even hit [-]%.

When O'Neal does not perform, Wade is just an ordinary explosion.

After all, on the Sun's side, the troika Russell, Marion and Joe Johnson performed very steadily.

Iguodala and Varejao also played well, and there are three giants Martin, Wallace and Barbosa on the bench. The team's offensive can be continuous.

The Suns were preparing for a big battle, but the Heat's insiders not only performed well, but also Mourning did not perform well, giving Wallace a lot of opportunities to show that he dominated the rotation period.

Russell found that the Heat are still too slow, as long as the Suns have a touch, they will be difficult to play.

Although Wade performed well in the first half, that's all. He was not as strong as James and Anthony before.

There are many reasons for this situation. For example, Payton's strength has also declined, but the main reason is that he has no basket.

The Heat didn't hit a single goal from outside the three-point line, which is obviously a bit abnormal.

Coach Riley was also depressed. He originally wanted to play the team's inside advantage.

The result was a few more rebounds, and the inside advantage was completely missed.

Riley was less staid when he arrived, and changed his mind after seeing the team trail by double digits.

During the intermission, he clearly asked the players to take more shots from the outside to open up space.

In addition, the defense must be defended, and the Suns cannot shoot so many three-pointers.

Of course, a player like O'Neal actually has practical difficulties. It is too difficult for him to defend the outside line.

This is a multiple-choice question, but the Heat feel that there are not many options, because it is impossible for the Heat to let O'Neal sit on the bench.

Just kidding, Xia Tian only gave [-] million.

Of course, it is impossible tactically. If O'Neal is not there, the Heat will have no inside advantage at all, and then they will have no chance to face the Suns.

In fact, the styles of Wade and O'Neal are not particularly compatible. They both need shooters, but the two are still very strong when they explode, and other teams have nothing to do.

When choosing players, you must first choose the strong ones, and then choose the right ones.

In competitive sports, player talent is really important, so there are more and more league giant models in the future.

If there are no strong enough stars, no matter how suitable the team configuration is, they will not be able to play in the playoffs. It is meaningless to just pretend to be aggressive in the regular season. The Eagles and the like behind have proved this point.

In the third quarter, both Wade and O'Neal consciously passed the ball to the three-point line.

The two of them have the ability to attract conservative attention. If the Heat are strong outside at this time, the team's offensive end will be much smoother.

Unfortunately, except for Posey, everyone else is not allowed. Payton does not have Williams' three-point ability at all.

Regarding Percy's point, the sun is strictly guarded against it.

It wasn't until Kapono and Walker came up that Posey got some chances.

In fact, other people also have opportunities, but Posey is more stable. At that time, the Suns paid more attention to players like Kapono who depended on three-pointers for food.

A player who only has the ability to make three-pointers cannot be allowed to shoot. This is the principle of the Suns' defense.

The Heat did not go well in chasing points in the second half, so they had to change their style of play again.

That is the star heads-up, because I don't care too much.

Wade began to score continuously, and tried several three-pointers, but only succeeded once.

And Walker's singles didn't have any good results. Walker is now a typical nerve knife, all thanks to Meng.

It's a pity that O'Neal still couldn't break out, and there was no suspense in the game.

O'Neal is not incapable of attacking now, his shooting percentage is still very good, and he is very threatening inside.

It's just that he doesn't have the explosive power at his peak, and without that kind of domineering, he doesn't have enough deterrent power.

If it's just an ordinary high inside line, the sun won't worry, let alone a fat man who can't get up to speed.

Now O'Neal is not threatened by Duncan at all. If this is still the case in the playoffs, even if everyone encounters it, the Suns have nothing to worry about.

After the game, Russell was also a little regretful. He told reporters: "They probably didn't show their strength. We seized the opportunity and won the game directly."

The Heat's game was a bit boring, but they were more interested in playing the Eagles Russell back to back the next day.

Nash played very well this season, and the Hawks are about to become the dark horse in the East.

But they are not big dark horses. They are considered to be a fringe team in the playoffs. After all, except for Nash, the other players are either not at the peak, or their strength is a little bit worse.

Fortunately, their style is more suitable for Nash. If D'Antoni is the coach, the Eagles' results should be better. Woodson is still a little conservative.

For Russell's arrival, Nash is a warm welcome.

The team's performance has improved this season, and imitating the Suns' tactics is a big aspect.

If it weren't for the fact that he was so much older, Nash would have regarded Russell as a mentor.

"We still can't be as smooth as you." Nash felt a little regretful.

"Your outside shooting still needs to be improved. In this regard, you have to supervise young players. Many players in your team must have no problem with their talents, but their foundation is not so solid. They use their talents to play too much." Russell said.

Nash thinks so, "They can only think about attacking the rim, thinking that's cool, but they don't expect that shooting will be easier and they can play more tactical cooperation."

The two ate together before the game, and exchanged a lot of defenders' experience, and they all gained.

Back on the field, they became rivals again.

As soon as the game started, Nash and Russell began to score points, and the two teams also played against each other heartily.

The young player Diaw performed well, his golf quotient is very good, and he got along well with Nash.

In the first quarter, the Eagles, who were at a disadvantage, took the lead.

Many fans who don't pay attention to the Eagles also found that their style of play is much more handsome this season, and their offensive end is very smooth, completely getting rid of the appearance of a weak chicken team.

The Eagles are aggressive at home, and Russell has gradually become sharper. The opponent needs this kind of strength.
