NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 31 Different Running and Bombing

Mavericks coach Don Nelson is known as a mad scientist, loves running and gunning, and likes to study various alternative tactics, but facing the Suns, he does always choose to keep a big man inside.

Dampier can't, then try Calvin Booth who is faster, or Bradley who is experienced and tall.

It's just that these two have no offensive ability, and they can't limit Stoudemire.

However, the Mavericks have an advantage over other teams. They have been relatively successful in defending Joe Johnson.

The Mavericks are ugly, Josh Howard and Marquis Daniels can defend, and Joe Johnson is very uncomfortable when he comes up.

As for the Mavericks' offense, it is also difficult for the Suns to handle Nowitzki.

In fact, it's not as difficult as facing James. Marion's single defense is also very good. He can actually face Nowitzki.

It's just that Nowitzki is at his peak now, not the big man who can only shoot slowly later.

The peak Nowitzki can break through with the ball, and can still throw the basketball in with a soft touch under fierce confrontation. He is a top face-up master.

It is also very difficult for Marion to defend. Once Nowitzki finds a chance to be misplaced, he must enter.

It is useless for a defender like Russell to interfere in front of him.

The Suns also thought of many ways to limit Nowitzki, so the two strong offensive teams in the West actually put up defense in the first quarter.

The Mavericks also put Iguodala in defense, but they pay more attention to Russell.

The main thing is Harris, he doesn't want Russell to score in front of him, he still wants to play Russell a few times.

Just judging from the efficiency of the first quarter, Russell is far better than the opposing Harris.

Devin Harris wanted to prove himself a little too much. He took too many shots, and when his shooting percentage was not high, he didn't even have an assist as a No. [-] position.

Russell mainly connected the teams, only seized the opportunity to take one shot, and made 100% of his shots steadily.

Even fans who are not very professional can see the pros and cons of the two.

The Suns also began to take the lead. Although the lead was not much, this kind of strong team matchup where both sides are relatively strong can build a psychological advantage by pressing the opponent a little bit.

"Dude, do you know how to shoot!" Russell couldn't help provoking his opponent.

Trash talk can't be stopped once it starts, it's cool to spray a few words.

"I can blow you up, man." Harris shot back with wide eyes.

It was just stealing one, obviously he was stronger, capable of single-handedly, Harris was very upset.

What made him even more upset was that the head coach thought he was not playing well and replaced him.

Russell is a bit regretful, he likes to bully rookies, and the old guys in the league are more difficult to stimulate.

Unless he is strong in singles, he can spray whoever he wants, which is easy to produce results.

But after Terry and Stackhouse came up, the Suns were not so easy to play.

These two offenses are really good, and when the Suns also enter the rotation, they can't stand it a bit.

Barbosa has been sidelined for the third game. He couldn't stand the last back-to-back away game. The team simply decided to let him rest and play again when he recovered.

So the Suns' current bench lineup has been affected, and the previous losses are also related to this aspect.

But there is also a surprise, that is, Kevin Martin has risen very quickly, and I feel that just attacking him is better than Barbosa.

Kevin Martin is also more suitable for the Suns' system. Outside players don't need much confrontation, and he can show what he is best at.

Russell feels that Martin's rookie season can become a more important rotation firepower for the Suns.

Of course, there are also problems, that is, he still can't handle the defense, and Stackhouse hits him casually.

Among the rookies, only Varejao is relatively stable, but unfortunately, his offense depends on luck.

Each of the Suns' current group of substitute players has their uses, but they also have their shortcomings. Russell really wants them to grow faster.

"It's okay, just play like this." D'Antoni clapped his hands on the sidelines.

Russell took a sip of the energy drink with a smile on his face.

Young players are really lucky to meet a coach like D'Antoni. Some coaches in the league don't give young people much time at all, and they like to swear. Without a strong psychological quality, they may be abolished.

With Russell's eyesight and D'Antoni, the Suns should be able to train a group of good young players.

When the Mavericks took the lead during the lineup rotation, Don Nelson immediately cheered up. He began to let the players attack boldly and make decisive shots.

There is nothing wrong with this arrangement, but the Mavericks' back line already has a few players who are easy to let themselves go.

If they explode, they can naturally push their opponents flat, but if they throw waves, it is also a disaster.

As soon as the Mavericks took the lead, the waves flew away, and the Suns took the opportunity to fight back.

And when the main players came back, the Suns immediately got the score back.

The Mavericks' high inside line wasted for a while, and they couldn't beat Stoudemire even more.

In addition, Iguodala was set ablaze, went in and dunked a few times, and the sun was fully opened.

The Suns' offense is not just outside three-pointers, they also play sneakily inside.

Marion and Iguodala got a chance to cut inside, and the basketball in Russell's hand will be sent over as soon as possible.

Several Suns players, except for Russell, are all very explosive dunks.

Handsome shots, explosive dunks, this is the brand new sun.

Don Nelson was also very emotional watching the Suns' offense. He was too envious of the Suns having Russell as the organizer.

Nash's question mark face, didn't the Mavericks have a good guard with strong organizational skills before?

In fact, Don Nelson is not the same as the running and gunning of the Suns. It is impossible for Nash to play like Russell in the Mavericks. Don Nelson will feel that he is not aggressive enough.

The Mad Scientist likes to experiment with various tactics, and will not let a defender completely become the core of the tactics.

The guard is only the most comfortable in the hands of D'Antoni, because D'Antoni is the core of the guard when he plays, and he likes to arrange tactics like this.

The sun was on the rise, but the Mavericks didn't react immediately.

Nowitzki played super efficient again, but he couldn't pass the ball a lot of time.

The discipline of this Mavericks is still not strong enough, and it is also the reason why they are still running in.

In addition, there is no good point guard, and the ball cannot be passed.

Because when Nowitzki played with the ball, the Suns chose to flank.

If Nowitzki plays the ball, it will not be so easy to get the ball.

Nowitzki, who was a little annoyed, also made a big move, and as a result, he made two mistakes.

The Mavericks now have these outside players who are both offensive and defensive, but the three-pointers are relatively poor. Howard, Daniels, and Stackhouse are all good mid-range shots. Their three-pointers are not good enough to help Nowitzki open up space. .

There was no way around it, and when the Mavericks were in trouble, the Suns quickly opened up the score.

Stoudemire ravaged the basket, and Russell scored double figures in assists at halftime.
