NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 21
"I can't believe it, but I have to be honest. In the current situation on the court, the King's offense is more than one step behind the Suns. I hope it's just the impact of Weber's truce."

"The Suns' rookie is really good. Iguodala is worthy of his pick. Martin and Varejao are also surprisingly good. Only Ariza is worse. As for Russell, I can't think of him as a rookie."

"Unfortunately, the two guards selected by the Kings did not see how they performed."

Sacramento's on-site commentator hates iron but not steel, and the time for casual nonsense has obviously increased.

Because the situation on the court is easy to cause heart disease, the Suns made three-pointers and three-pointers from the left, and the Kings were shot and collapsed.

The King's players never thought that they would encounter a team like the Suns.

The Suns led by 30 points at halftime, embarrassing the Kings at home.

They wanted to save face in the third quarter, but the defense didn't allow it.

Every time they score, the Suns must return one, and Russell has hit two three-pointers.

Finally, the sun couldn't take it anymore and voluntarily surrendered. The fans booed a lot at the home team.

They can't stand it, the gap is too big, they want to see the team use a smooth attack to kill the opponent, instead of being rubbed on the ground with a smooth attack.

In the end, the Suns beat the Kings by 32 points and ended the preseason with a record of 6 wins and [-] loss.

They will rest for three days, and then officially start the regular season, the first game against the Eagles at home.

"Guys, get excited. We're going to beat them hard. After the game, I'll treat everyone to a midnight snack." When going to the competition venue, Russell said loudly to everyone.

"It's easy, man!" Stoudemire yelled back. "I'm going to dunk on every single one of them, just hand me the ball."

Joe Johnson glanced at Stoudemire and said nothing, secretly contemptuous in his heart, and it will be his outside firepower that will defeat the Eagles.

A group of people may have different minds, but they all have high fighting spirit.

Russell was a little nervous, because this game is very important, not just because of the first game of the regular season.

Only he knows that the No. [-] position of the Suns in history was Nash, but now Nash has gone to the Eagles.

The Eagles are also a team that has undergone tremendous changes in the new season. When the Suns did not pursue Nash, Nash did not renew his contract with the Mavericks. Instead, he chose to go to the Eastern Conference for 5 million in five years. Cuban was so angry that he was publicly upset that Nash only had money in his eyes.

Cuban himself was unwilling to give Gao Xin a long-term contract, no wonder Nash left.

Nash, who is over 30 years old, just wants his career to be guaranteed, and he doesn't mind going to any team.

Nash is a high-level guard, but before he met D'Antoni, he was not an MVP. No one would have known that he and D'Antoni could have such a strong spark, and this time and space is no longer possible.

Nash also performed well in the Hawks' preseason, but it was only good, and he didn't feel amazing.

So Russell wants to lead the team to quickly defeat the Eagles with Nash, and give himself an explanation.

The Eagles in the new season can be said to be a brand new team. They have traded in various ways since last season, and they have changed everything from players to coaches inside and out.

They first sent Raheem, the core offensive core, and Ratliff, the defensive core, to the Blazers for Rasheed Wallace, and then sent Rasheed Wallace to the Pistons to assist a championship, and then sent the outside line The core Terry was sent to the Mavericks, Antoine Walker, who performed poorly, was sent to the Pacers, and the all-around striker Stephen Jackson was sent to the Pacers.

The boss guessed that he was really disappointed with the team, so he changed everything.

Seeing that the Pistons successfully won the championship, they quickly recruited the Pistons' assistant coach Mike Woodson, preparing to follow the example of the Pistons in playing iron-blooded defensive basketball.

It's a pity that Mike Woodson is not good at learning, the Eagles are slowing down now, and the defense is not good.

But the Eagles don't mind if they look to the future. They won four rookies in one breath this year, just like the Suns.

No. 6 pick Josh Childress, No. 17 pick Josh Smith has shown their combat effectiveness, No. 34 pick Dota Smith and No. 37 pick Royal Ivey are lottery anyway, no one is like Russell That opened the eyes of the sky, and every draft pick would not be wasted.

After a while of operation, the Eagles made a wonderful start.

Nash plus three guys who can be said to be power forwards, plus a center, the legendary big man lineup.

Of course, in fact, the big lineup is not too big, and the three strikers are all of the same type.

Although the Suns' starting lineup is small, it's actually not that small. Except for Russell, everyone else is about two meters tall, but Stoudemire is not a traditional center.

Why didn't they send a real five to start this game? That's because the Eagles' big men are not traditional big men.

Antoine Walker, who has an average three-point shooting rate but especially likes to shoot outside; Al Harrington, a striker with a range; Boris Diaw, a flexible little fat man, who can pull out and shoot inside.

The fifth position is not important. The Hawks have a few big centers in rotation, and they can barely shoot.

Well, their lineup is really big, the substitute Childress is a tall guard, and Josh Smith is also a swinging striker.

Russell found that the Eagles really like swingmen. Most of their teams are swingmen and big men inside.

In fact, Nash and these players also get along well. Everyone is the type who can fire from the outside after the pick-and-roll.

Of course, the hit rate mainly depends on the player's state. No one can be stable, and Nash has to do it himself.

But the biggest problem for the Eagles is not the shooting percentage. Their problems were exposed after the game started, and Nash couldn't save them even if they saved them.

Inside the TNT broadcast hall, Barkley was very excited.

Barkley has two home teams, the 76ers and the Suns.

The Suns are coming aggressively this season, so he is naturally very excited.

"Kenny, I bet, the Suns can win this game, and I can definitely beat you."

Barkley's commentary partner, Kenny Smith, once played for the Hawks briefly, and was assigned to the Hawks by him.

"Charles, things may not go so smoothly. The two starters of the Suns are both rookies. They may be a little anxious. The Eagles also have rookies with good talents. Maybe it is better for the rookies to adapt first." Kenny Smith said.

"Nonsense." Barkley was extremely disdainful, "I like that guy Russell, he and Amare can destroy the Eagles, and I have seen the results of the game."

Russell didn't know he was being poisoned, the game had already started, and his blood was boiling when facing Nash.

Facts have proved that it is not tall enough to win the jump ball, the sun is the first to attack.

When they pick and roll, the opportunity comes out.

Because the Eagles' big man is really slow.
