NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 274 Helpless Anthony
The Suns' rotation lost points in the first half, and they picked them up in the second half.

In fact, the main force of the Suns has always had a slight advantage, so the Suns overtook the score at the beginning of the last quarter.

Wallace and Martin directly beat the Jazz a little bit. Under the bad situation, the Jazz's problems were obvious.

No one scored, and the defense was not particularly good. The Jazz panicked.

They don't know why it happened, and some fans can't understand it either.

In fact, it is easy to understand, that is, they actually performed supernormally in the first half, and now they are normal.

"Russell scored again. Today he only scored 6 three-pointers. It's just average."

"Yes, it's just the highest score in the game, so it's nothing special."

"Deron is a little wilted, and he doesn't dare to make a move. Isn't this buddy making a fuss in front of him... Hey, young people are not very reliable."

"It seems that Russell is very old, but Russell is still young, okay?"

In the last few minutes of the Jazz, Okur played more resolutely.

But Okur's style of play makes it difficult for the team to quickly catch up with the score.

Of course, the score gap is not very big, and it has not yet reached double digits.

It's just that the Suns have been scoring all the time, and it's impossible for the Jazz to narrow the score gap if they don't explode.

The Jazz are not the type that can explode on the offensive end, so as time goes by, they still have nothing to do.

With the referee's whistle to end the game, the Suns started their 47-game winning streak.

Next, the Suns will go to back-to-back away games, and the schedule before the All-Stars is not too tense.

The outside world is also exploring whether they can't beat the Suns now, and if they recover at the All-Star Weekend, can they continue their winning streak.

On February 2, the Suns went to Denver to play against the Nuggets, who have also attracted attention this season.

The Nuggets got Iverson through a trade before, and the golden guns of Iverson and Anthony are also expected.

It's just that the Nuggets' current record is not good. First of all, the arrival of Iverson did not make the Nuggets qualitatively change. In addition, Iverson was injured and could not play this time.

The combination of Iverson and Anthony, Russell is not too concerned.

Their combination has a big disadvantage, that is, there is no organizer.

Iverson can pass the ball, but what he is good at is not organization but scoring, especially Anthony.

Moreover, the Nuggets' defense is getting worse and worse, and they have to rely entirely on offense for food.

Relying on offense to eat without a good organizer will actually be fatal, and there will be no fault tolerance rate.

With Iverson absent this time, the Nuggets are actually worse than the previous lineup.

At the beginning of the game, Stoudemire played very comfortably. The insiders of the Nuggets looked more ferocious but actually defended very averagely.

On the contrary, Anthony is as strong as ever. Anthony is definitely at the peak now, and his offensive ability is nothing to say.

Because of his excellent shooting percentage, the Suns chose to flank, because Anthony is a relatively pure offensive type.Somewhat surprisingly, however, his next few attempts were excellent.

In fact, it is not that many players do not have the ability to pass the ball, but that their minds are not in this area and their consciousness has not been cultivated.

Anthony is in good form this time, but it feels a bit handy.

The key is that the other Nuggets players are also good, and Anthony's pass was not wasted.

So, with Russell, Stoudemire and Joe Johnson all playing, Anthony led the Nuggets' rotation to overtake the score.

Because of Stoudemire's easy play earlier, it was easy for the Suns to take the lead. I didn't expect the Nuggets to fight back. It seems that after playing so many games, many teams have also studied the Suns' bench lineup, which is not as strong as it was at the beginning of the season. There is no resistance.

And Anthony is really good, scoring, assisting, and rebounding three-handedly, this time looks like James.

At the end of halftime, Anthony was already a quasi-triple-double, and he still had the highest score in the game.

Russell also wants to cooperate. Although Anthony is not as good as James, if he has more suitable teammates in his peak period, he may not be unable to win the championship.

It's a pity that this kind of assumption can be said by many players, which is really meaningless.

Russell also saw Anthony's outstanding performance in this game, and he was a little sighed.

As for whether to continue to flank Anthony, after the discussion during the intermission, the Suns felt that they still needed to flank Anthony. After all, he felt very good today.

And his good pass is just an accident, and he can't give up because of choking. Now facing the Nuggets, it is better to lock Anthony than to lock Nowitzki against the Mavericks.

So in the third quarter, the Suns still resolutely pinched Anthony, but this time they succeeded easily.

Nothing special, it's just that the defensive intensity has improved a little bit, and the Nuggets' players can't continue to output on the offensive end.It is possible to win a game with role players, but you cannot rely entirely on role players.

The reason why role players are role players is because they are not that good and their offense will not be so stable, so even if they performed well in the first half, there is a high chance that they will recover in the second half.

This time, Anthony's pass did not turn into a lot of points, and he was pinched and his shooting percentage was very low, so the Suns quickly overtook the score.

It's that simple a lot of times, and one of the reasons why the Suns can do it easily is because the Nuggets' defense really makes people anxious.

With Stoudemire playing well, the Nuggets didn't take any special measures.

In the third quarter, Stoudemire played more easily than in the first half. Russell just passed the ball to help the team regain the advantage.

Rotation work, the Suns are strong again, and the situation of the Nuggets suddenly becomes very delicate.

The key is that they don't have the belief that they must win, because their current lineup is not neat, and losing to the Suns is also acceptable.

Their head coach Karl saw the players looking a little listless, and was so angry that he yelled on the field, but the head coach couldn't do much at this time.

In the last few minutes of the game, Anthony was strong again, but still couldn't catch up with the score, and it just made the Nuggets lose more decently.

However, losing is losing. For a mid-range team like them, it is actually not decent at all.

Not only will they be ridiculed by the media after the game, but even Iverson, who did not play, is the same. After all, he dare not play, he must be as timid as a mouse.

The love of fans will be consumed. After consecutive failures, Iverson's popularity is not as good as before.

Of course, losing to the Suns is not so difficult to accept, and the opponent's fans also hope for a miracle.

After the game, Russell said again that he didn't know when the winning streak would last.

"However, we do need some relaxation mentally," he said.
