NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 319 The Collapsed James
The Suns' loss was actually just an accident. The young players were a little frustrated, but they quickly adjusted.

Russell is not worried, because their current lineup is also super strong.

It doesn't matter if you lose a few games during the run-in. He believes that as the season progresses, everyone will gradually accept the Suns in the new season. They are still the first in the Western Conference.

On November 11, the Suns played against the visiting Cavaliers at home.

The Cavaliers were fucked in the finals last season. Even if they face a different sun in the new season, they still want to come back.

It's just that Cavaliers didn't do anything in summer, and the lineup remained the same.

For a team that wants to compete for the championship, it is actually a bit shabby.

However, the hard-fought Cavaliers still played well in the first quarter, and James worked hard to drive his teammates.

Without the three annoying strikers of Marion, Iguodala and Wallace, James is still a lot easier.

Moreover, the sun's defense and speed are not as good as those of the previous sun. The main reason is that they are unskilled and have to bring in new players. Therefore, the two insiders of the Cavaliers have a place to play. This is the situation where James did not go all out to score. s reason.

If the Suns can't abolish Big Z and Gooden, Stoudemire is indeed in some trouble without the help of Marion. He is still short, and Millsap is also short as an insider.

Although Millsap's wingspan is not as exaggerated as Marion's, it is still relatively good. Without the wingspan, a short insider can't survive at all, but there is still a difference between him and Marion.

Marion is actually a small forward who helps defend well. Millsap's movement is still poor. He is a relatively flexible power forward, but he is actually an insider.

Although he was learning from Marion and Wallace before, his style is still different. Now he is not fully adapted to the field, and he is also more bullied.

However, he played harder and made people see progress, so the team will continue to give him opportunities.

But soon the Cavaliers could no longer be arrogant inside, because they still have no substitutes.

After Ellis came up, he taught the Cavaliers to be a substitute player, and Gasol actually has a better defensive effect on the inside. Gasol is not a rookie like a college player. He has played both professional games and international games. He is the world championship champion. I took them all.

As long as he adapts to the league well now, he can become a titan. For the athletic ability to drop to a certain level, he can only rely on the high Z effect better than Stoudemire.

Big Z's physical strength is not enough, and Gasol Jr. helped to stagger for a period of time. After Stoudemire came on the court, the team can play and run happily again.

Especially when Durant or Hill is in the fourth position, players can try to speed up.

Although it is only the third game, everyone already understands that the Suns' bench lineup is very strong.

Not to mention veterans like Hill, even Barea, Tony Allen and Ariza, who are not conspicuous, are actually good seedlings.

It's not as mature as last season's bench lineup, which covered up other players. Now that the Suns are still running in, they can see a lot of things with a magnifying glass.

The more the media analyzed, the more excited they became, feeling that they had uncovered the secret of the sun.

But other teams are very depressed, why the Suns can always choose usable players.

Many other teams' first-round picks were scrapped, and the Suns' second-round picks can be used so well. It's unscientific. Jealousy makes hostages separate.

When all unscientific things happen, everyone will take the initiative to make excuses for him.

Some players who are good players can't know people, but those who are good players can also be accurate.

The Suns played well, the Cavaliers were depressed, and James couldn't sit still when he was resting on the bench.

Because the season is still at the beginning, even if he plays more, it is impossible for him to play all the games as desperately as he did in the playoffs.

Physical strength is one aspect, face is a bigger issue.

But seeing that there was a problem with the score that was finally biting, James was very anxious.

After playing in the second quarter, James started scoring mode.

James practiced shooting hard in the summer and felt that he was still improving.

Of course, this is just an illusion. It is impossible for his shooting to improve significantly in a summer. He is not this type.

However, this time he did open the scoring mode more easily.

It's not because of anything else, it's just because the Suns' defensive level has declined, and the mentality of the regular season is much better.

In the playoffs, James may have problems with his touch again, and the pressure will make people lose their hair.

The young Durant has been beaten by Iguodala in various ways before, and of course he will be taught to be a man by James.

Russell certainly won't help, but it's okay to mention.

He is very familiar with James, so he will always tell Durant what to do.

Russell is familiar with many players through countless simulated battles. Don't underestimate this kind of experience. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a player to fight so many games in a lifetime.

So Russell's point is very effective. Durant can't do it well for the time being, but he must have benefited a lot and can grow faster and more correctly.

James played well in the second quarter, but the rest of the Cavaliers were almost completely restricted.

At halftime, the Suns still took the lead.

Looking at it this way, the Suns are not weaker than last season at all, at least the Cavaliers can't take advantage.

In the third quarter of the game, James continued to exert his strength, and Russell also broke out on the Sun's side.

Russell now wants to bring in newcomers, and he has to find a balance between bringing in newcomers and attacking himself.

Now that James is about to explode, he certainly can't let rookie Durant deal with it.

He suddenly attacked fiercely, and then suddenly passed a second pass to Ray Allen, who responded with a three-pointer and directly beat the Cavaliers to the ground.

James still scored a lot, but if the intensity was raised in the second half, the other Cavaliers players really couldn't keep up.

The inside line is physically exhausted and can't keep up with the rhythm. Larry Hughes is on the verge of being crippled due to injuries, and James is about to collapse.

In fact, other Cavaliers players are also working hard, but their strength is not good, and sometimes this is even more frustrating.

Looking at the Suns, Russell is as fierce as a tiger, Ray Allen is like an efficient assassin, Stoudemire is fierce, Durant's talent is undeniable, and there are strong players on the bench.

In the rotation time of the second half, the Cavaliers' bench lineup was once again free.

James can only raise his weapon again. He is actually really good in this game, and his three-point shooting rate is also good.

But the team's score just couldn't catch up. After entering the finals, James has different expectations for the team. If he could endure last season, he really can't bear it this season.

He was going to climb the highest peak, and he thought they would have a chance when the sun disintegrated.

Now it seems that it will be more difficult for them to rush out of the East, so they must change.
