NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 34 The Miracle Named Russell

Nowitzki made a three-pointer against the defense, and the basketball bounced out of the basket. The expectant eyes of the home fans turned into disappointment. They ran out of time.

Iguodala protected the rebound. It was the last 40 seconds, and the sun was almost stable.

But they are still multi-line fast breaks when they get rebounds, and they have no idea of ​​​​lowering the rhythm at the last moment.

When there is a transition, play the transition, no matter when it is, this is the Suns' offense.

After Nowitzki missed, the players on the Mavericks field also sighed, resulting in a slow reaction.

Because the leading team at the last moment basically did not play like the Suns, and it is also an important reason why they did not react.

It was too late when they wanted to stop, and Stoudemire scored 2 points in a fast break.

This time, the Mavericks' heart was completely gone.

Although Stackhouse hit 2 points next, they have no intention of taking foul tactics.

This time Russell took the time to overwhelm the last shot, and the Mavericks scored another one in the last few seconds. The score gap between the two sides became better, but it had no effect on the outcome of the game.

The Suns avoided a losing streak and won an away game, and the Mavericks, the No. [-] in the West, instantly became No. [-] in the West.

No. [-] is not the Suns. The Spurs are No. [-] in the Western Conference, and the season has only just begun. The team ranking at this time does not have much meaning.

Russell scored a double-double again in this game. Although it was only 10 points, he sent 22 assists.

Many defenders can't send 20+ assists in their lifetime, but Russell sent two in just a few games in the new season.

The talent is so terrifying that his college coaches are confused. Could it be that he delayed a genius with colored glasses.

In this game, all five starters of the Suns scored in double figures. Only Joe Johnson did not get a double-double. The other three, Stoudemire, Marion and Iguodala also scored in double figures.

The Mavericks who played the big center actually lost rebounds, and the Suns also broke everyone's inherent impression in this regard.

Without a big center, he still has sharp rebounds. Grabbing a rebound is a counterattack, and offense and defense do not conflict.

For this loss, the Mavericks are afraid that they will be blamed, and the old Nelson may not be able to handle it after boasting.

Dampier averaged more than a dozen rebounds per game last season. How come the Mavericks can't do it? Is it parallel imports or the team's tactics, or neither.

For the loss, the old Jianghu Don Nelson didn't have much emotion, "They beat us, and I am looking forward to the next contest, that's it."

Old Nelson suffered a lot of doubts last season, and he is already cultivating successors. If the Mavericks do not achieve their best this season, he can leave at any time.

But for the outside world, this game has a great impact.

The Suns defeated a real strong enemy, Russell once again proved himself, and they are likely to have an impact on the pattern of the Western Conference.

Russell looked calm in the face of praise, which he had expected a long time ago, with 20+ assists, which he has won many times in the system simulation battle space.

"I don't think it's amazing. It's not just me. Coach D'Antoni's tactics are very suitable for us. My teammates are also very strong. It's beautiful. I just simply send the ball to them and they can score."

"So we can definitely be successful this season, just be patient with us a little bit, we're trying to get better every moment."

Before, many people criticized him for hugging his thighs. Anyone can do his layman's pass.

So Russell just said it himself, he just got 20+ assists easily, and the trolls were not angry.

As a big troll, Joe Lewis has reluctantly canceled his account in a chat room.

In fact, he doesn't mind running naked, maybe it will make him more prosperous.

It's just that he is worried that someone will make a fuss about it, which will make it difficult for him to make money as a basketball expert in the future.

It’s okay to be a clown-like expert. He is still a high-end person if he makes money, but it’s still not enough to be a clown. He also has pursuits. He graduated from a prestigious university.

The Phoenix papers had already called Russell a miracle, and now it was time to see how long the miracle lasted.

It is not unreasonable for an unknown player like Russell to explode at the beginning.

But there is a saying that existence is reasonable. The outside world will not think that Russell is possessed by aliens or something. Most people are envious and jealous.

After winning the Mavericks, the atmosphere in the Suns relaxed again.

But the young people didn't think so much. When the outside world was bustling, they had already played the Hornets back to back in the away game.

It is still relatively easy to play the Hornets, because they have been a mess in the new season and have not won a game yet.

The only strong point on their offensive end, Baron Davis, had conflicts with the team and suffered injuries, so he will not play at all.

The second-year David West is still playing soy sauce. Their best scorer on the offensive end turned out to be Lee Nairon, a fringe player with a basic salary. The 34-year-old veteran David Wesley also had to Come out to preside over the overall situation, and no one in the entire team has the ability to take the initiative to attack.

That is to say, their defense is so-so, otherwise every game will be ugly.

Well, they are looking ugly every game now.

However, the Suns, who have been fighting the Mavericks for a whole game, got off to a slow start in New Orleans.

The Hornets' defense is relatively good. They retreated in time and played very slowly. The Suns hadn't adapted yet.

They were also careless. They had just been No. [-] in the Western Conference before, and now they encountered the bottom team in the Western Conference.

Fortunately, it was only the first quarter, and now they have time to make adjustments if there is a problem.

"Hey, everyone, don't fall asleep on the field." Russell reminded his teammates.

He was the player with the best performance at the beginning. The Hornets' backcourt combination was shorter than Russell's. They also tried their best to defend Joe Johnson, but they ignored Russell.

Of course, the opponent dragged the pace very slowly, and Russell didn't have many opportunities, but just made a three-pointer.

But he seized the few passing opportunities that allowed his teammates to score directly, helped Stoudemire and Marion score inside, and gradually stabilized the situation.

When it came to the rotation, the Suns didn't take the lead, and D'Antoni also let the starters rest.

While sitting on the bench, Russell was also constantly communicating with his teammates.

At first he wasn't sure if he could do what these leaders did, but then he found it was easy to do.

The Suns didn't take advantage of the rotation this time. David West, who is playing soy sauce, is actually shooting well now. No wonder Paul can become a pick-and-roll weapon after he comes.

Moreover, it is not bad that the Hornets have an insider on the bench, that is Chris Anderson.

It's a pity that Birdman will be caught in a ban on drugs in the future, otherwise Russell really wants to dig it up and use it.

"Cheer up, guys, we can go back to Phoenix after this game and get some rest."

The main force played again. With Russell's efforts, they gradually put away their mentality of underestimating the enemy.
