NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 205
In March, the Suns still started at the US Airways Center, facing the Bucks from the East.

The Bucks have also made a comeback this season, and are also hitting the playoffs at this stage.

For last season, their defense was better. Although the bragging Australian Duncan Bogut is far behind Duncan, it still helps the Bucks.

It turns out that historically, the Bucks also made it to the playoffs this season, but not necessarily now.

Because their competitors have increased, the East has more variables such as the Eagles.

Facing the Suns, the Bucks slightly improved their defense to no avail.

Varejao's performance was not inferior to this year's champion, and even with Russell's help, his performance was even better.

But the team had problems in the second quarter. Varejao fell to the ground and was injured in the fight.

Although the Suns still scored in double figures with eight players and won the Bucks, Varejao checked out a shoulder problem and needed a truce.

Russell also sighed, someone was injured just as he was about to sign someone, it's a bit metaphysical.

The team did not hesitate any longer, and directly won Tim Thomas, who was waived by the Bulls.

This buddy originally got an annual salary of tens of millions, but the Bulls couldn't bear to lay him off because of his unprofessional shortcomings.

Now he is actually still at the peak in terms of age, and the Suns have the opportunity to sign for two years at a low price, but Russell is not very interested in unprofessional problem players, just save the emergency.

Moreover, he will not give the opponent too many opportunities as in the original history.

Because the Suns are full of talent, Tim Thomas is just an option.

Now that Varejao can't play, they can just play a small lineup.

Of course, Russell still intends to be more stable and let a real insider start, just like Varejao.

If you play well, stay a little longer, and if you play badly, start falsely.

This kind of good opportunity has to be given to one's own people, and that's about it.

Tim Thomas's starting lineup is considered a small lineup. It's really not as good as Wallace. It's roughly at least a real insider, and roughly has three points. Tim Thomas can play roughly the tactics he can play, but his athletic ability That's good, but generally rebounding is actually better, after all, he is a serious insider.

An attacker like Tim Thomas is good on the bench to supplement the rotation.

Tim Thomas is also very happy to join a strong team like the Suns and promises to work hard.

This is his contract year, and he still plans to get a good contract.

And almost suddenly being able to start in the team, the Huaxia players were also pleasantly surprised.

The Suns are relatively short of insiders this season. The value of this starter is actually not high, and it probably won't be able to play Varejao for as long.

However, for Huaxia fans, this is a great thing.

Their feelings for the Suns are getting deeper and deeper.

Of course, it's not exactly a good one. He's not as good as Varejao in defense, but he gives the Suns more tactics in offense. He can shoot three-pointers inside, and he can definitely get a chance to play in the Suns.

In the next game against the Magic, it will be difficult to keep up with Howard in general defense, but his shooting can also surprise opponents.

The Magic has completely given up this season, because Francis had conflicts, the Magic almost gave the Knicks for nothing, and the team's combat effectiveness has also dropped a lot.

Focusing on the future, the Magic also took the initiative and traded Milicic and Arroyo from the Pistons.

The deal for the Magic is still relatively solid. Although Milicic has not been trained in the Pistons, his static talent is still there, which can supplement the team's defense. It is definitely not bad as an inside substitute.

If it weren't for Milicic's contract year soon, Russell would have wanted to make a move.

Just after sending Francis away, the Magic has no offense at all now.

At the beginning of the game, they were pressed and beaten by the sun, and there was not much suspense in the game.

While their backups Nelson and Arroyo both performed well, the Suns' players performed better.

Roughly the first game hit two three-pointers, and the performance was not bad.

Before the team went to the away game, Russell also comforted Varejao.

Varejao's injury is not the same as Stoudemire, he let Varejao recover as soon as possible, and then return to the team, the team needs his contribution.

Varejao was also very grateful, and quickly expressed his loyalty, "Boss, I will be back soon."

Russell smiled and said, "Well, but don't worry, I hope you recover completely."

In fact, in the second half of the regular season, that is, after the All-Star Weekend, there are many games to play.

Because some teams have given up and won't be so persistent about winning.

Of course, in order to prepare for the playoffs in a better state, the strong teams will not care about the outcome of some games, so they may lose more games while playing relatively easy.

After all, some teams will also enter a desperate mode in order to compete for a place in the playoffs.

With the arrival of March, the Sun's schedule has gradually become tighter.

In the long regular season, no team will take advantage of it. When there is looseness, there will be tightness.

The next step for the Suns is to play back-to-back away games, and the first opponent is the Mavericks.

The Mavericks are now also affected by injuries, and even the Suns cannot avoid it, as do other teams.

The Mavericks' forward Howard is absent, and their forward and defensive lines are more tight.

In addition to Howard's change in their lineup, there is Dampier becoming a substitute.

This buddy is also bragging, but his strength is mediocre. Maverick must regret it now.

But there is no way to regret it. This buddy's big contract can't be traded at all.

Although there are some problems with the lineup, the Mavericks at home are very aggressive.

In the case of the West, the Suns and Mavericks are definitely contenders for the playoffs, and they will not show mercy.

As the regular season comes to a later stage, the teams preparing for the playoffs must also feel the opponent's bottom.

Nowitzki's offensive end is still very sharp, but the Suns don't care.

Nowitzki is not Duncan, and Marion can't show it when facing him.

On the outside, Russell has no problem playing Terry now, and Joe Johnson also has an advantage in matchups.

Howard is not there, and Iguodala also has a start.

The Suns are relatively weak at the fifth position, and the Mavericks are not strong. Diop, who replaced Dampier in the starting lineup, is also a blue-collar player.

As the league's No. [-] offensive power, the Suns can't completely limit it, they are so aggressive.

So the two teams are in a confrontation mode. After all, the Mavericks are also very strong offensively, especially Dirk Nowitzki. When the Suns are not double-teaming, they really can't handle it.

But the advantages of the Suns are not only the offensive and defensive ends, but also the large number of soldiers.

After Varejao's truce, they still have a bunch of people on the bench, all of them can play, how can the Mavericks compare.
