NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 269 It's getting easier

On January 1, the Suns went to Houston to play against the Rockets without Yao Mai.

The two strong points of the team have suffered injuries, and the Rockets are also very depressed now, obviously the start is not bad.

This is fate. The Rockets' lineup is not top-notch and there are injuries. It is normal that it is difficult to go further in the playoffs.

In the face of Mutombo whose age is unknown, Stoudemire is also relaxed and happy.

Now that the Suns have won consecutive victories, I feel that the momentum is different, and the rebounds are always dominant, very sharp.

In this case, Russell will definitely be more popular, and he is strong and has a team bonus.

He is popular now not only in the fan circle, because he is handsome and rich second generation, he also has many fans outside the circle, fortunately he can control it.

The 38-game winning streak is not over, because the Suns returned to the home court next, and the two consecutive opponents were weak chickens.

The Blazers who train new players are happier whether they win or lose, because several of their young players are very good, especially Roy, who is very surprised, and Jack has also improved a lot this season.

The only problem is that Randolph's presence seems to be getting in the way of Aldridge's development.

Aldridge is also very good, and the Blazers' rookies this season are all very good.

If the Suns encountered this situation, it would be fine for Aldridge and Randolph to start at the same time, but in the Trail Blazers, they are both defined as the fourth position, and there will be conflicts.

That's why Randolph was sent away later. He was obviously a 20+10 star data player, but Randolph was completely worthless.

Randolph's performance is very good. He is a heavy insider who goes crazy, and the Suns are not easy to guard against.

Russell also played well, but the Suns still won the game relatively easily.

Randolph is worthless, probably because he is not the type who can drive his teammates, he is only suitable to be a terminator.

Two days later, the Timberwolves visited.

In fact, the Timberwolves can't be said to be a weak team now. Although the rookie Randy Foye they selected is not particularly good, it is not too bad.

It's just that their player selection is a bit weird. They already have a guard like Ricky Davis who can't figure it out, and they choose an offensive guard like Foye who is of average height, and then they signed Mike James. Also an attacking defender.

A group of guards play by themselves, but there is no organizer. Is this for Garnett to score, rebound, and organize together? No wonder Garnett has to leave.

Garnett chose a truce in this game, probably because he suffered a minor injury in the last game.

In fact, he can also play, but this season he really has no passion and doesn't want to go up and be ravaged by the sun.

The Timberwolves without Garnett were naturally abused. Russell didn't even play long in the third quarter before clocking out of get off work.

It is not only the strength of the opponent that hinders the player's data, but also the weakness of the opponent. Naturally, it is not as good as the data of the normal 20 minutes to solve the battle in 30 minutes.

The Suns have won 40 consecutive games in this way, and they are still unbeaten at the beginning, and now it is late in January.

But they started playing away games again, with four consecutive away games in the East, and the start was back-to-back.

They played against the Wizards in the first game, and Arenas was full of momentum, and spoke again before the game.

The last game between Arenas and Russell, the two teams played very well, and the fans are actually looking forward to their reunion.

However, the plot did not develop according to everyone's expectations. Russell exploded on the court, but Arenas felt his hips in the first quarter.

Because Arenas is the player who can most threaten Russell in the No. [-] position, Russell is not polite at all.

As a result, when Arenas hit the iron continuously, the Suns led by 20+ all at once.

It was such an exaggeration, leading so much before the first quarter was over.

And while Russell scored, Joe Johnson and Marion also performed well, and the result was a wave of explosions.

The Wizards played well last time, so the Suns are not just Russell alone.

The Wizards did not reach the level of a first-tier team, so it is miserable.

Arenas did not give up. In the second quarter, his shooting percentage was adjusted back and he began to score points.

But it's a bit late, the Wizards are so far behind, and there are not many players as ambitious as him.

The others have almost given up. The Suns attack very easily. Even if Arenas scores, the team can't stop the Suns from scoring, which is actually useless.

The result is that although Arenas has been unwilling to give up the game and Daniels on their bench also played well, the Suns still won a big victory.

After winning the Wizards, the Suns played back-to-back away games against the Knicks.

It's good to beat anyone, but the result is a Knicks with no morale and various internal contradictions.

Marbury didn't play, but Crawford played well this time.

Crawford also wants to show his organization this time, but his offensive player's organization is really awkward.

It’s just that he is relatively smooth when he plays by himself, but if he pays attention to passing the ball, he is very deliberate, and sometimes it will destroy the rhythm of the team, and he must not be able to play when he wants to pass, and he cannot combine scoring and assists. .

As a result, both his and Curry's statistics were good, but the team couldn't stand it.

At the end of the quarter, Crawford came to his senses, returned to himself, let go and scored 20+, but the Knicks fell behind early, and no matter how much Crawford scored, he couldn't save it.

How could this be? The outside world is amazed at the toughness of the sun.

They have already set a record, why are they still not losing? Could it be that they really want to win 82 games?

I thought it was impossible, but the media was always talking about what an undefeated defense from beginning to end would be an indelible record in the history of the league.

Russell is always chatting with everyone, just let everyone have a good time, don't take it seriously.

The record has already been broken, so you can play as you want, play easily and play well.

If you are really excited and energetic, then practice more steadily to improve your level.

As long as one's own level will never betray oneself, and with enough strength, players can survive well in the league, no matter which team they are in.

The away game is still going on, but the opponent is really not strong.

Their third opponent in the Eastern Conference is the Bucks, where both Reed and Mo are absent.

The team's first and second scoring points are not there, how easy it is for the Suns to imagine.

At this time, Russell felt that they didn't need such a strong lineup at all. They just needed to stay healthy, and it would be easier than [-]% of the league's teams. There were too many injuries in the league. Compared with the Suns, the players should not be too healthy.

This is a good cycle. If there are more players who can play, everyone will not play reluctantly. If everyone is healthy, there will be more players who can play. Otherwise, it is a vicious cycle.

Thus, the Suns started with a 43-game winning streak.
