NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 343 Health Advantage
Several stars of the Hornets are not so stable at critical moments. They can't see that much in the regular season, and they will become their Achilles' heel in the playoffs.

Halfway through the final quarter, Paul hit a three-pointer, and the two teams were relatively close.

But then, Paul, West and Peja, the Hornets three strong points have problems.

On the Suns side, Russell hit two three-pointers steadily.

This is the horror of Russell. He will not lose the chain at the critical moment of the game, and may be even stronger.

As a comparison, Russell is indeed relatively calm, because he has cultivated confidence.

As long as there is a shooting opportunity, the incredible scoring ability can be displayed without problems.

When entering the last minute, Paul finally showed his power again and played 1+2, reducing the score of the two teams to 1 points again. This is the last hope of the Hornets.

But then Russell hit another 2 points, and the Hornets players were a little discouraged.

In the end, Paul hit the iron again, and the Suns once again won the victory against the Hornets.

Russell praised Paul again after the game, but with the attitude of a senior and a winner.

Naturally, Paul was not so convinced, but if he couldn't win, he couldn't win, so he had to be convinced.

Two days later, the Suns played at home against the Sonics.

However, the Supersonics have suffered injuries during this period, and Varejao will not be able to play this time.

In fact, there are few players with fewer injuries like the Suns. Martin also had some minor injuries this season, as did Marion. That is to say, Iguodala has excellent physical fitness and there is nothing wrong with it, and Barbosa may be the front runner. After a few seasons off for some time, this season is good.

Without Varejao, the Supersonics can fight with Collison's words, but this buddy's confrontation is much worse.

So Stoudemire played very happily, and became the inside bully in the game.

The Sonics are not far behind, but it has been the rhythm of the Suns since the beginning of the game.

Almost the entire game was relatively flat, and the Suns finally won.

Russell also sent his blessings to his former teammates, hoping that they will all stay healthy and have a good fight in the playoffs.

There are still a few games before the Suns All-Star Weekend, and their record has surpassed the Celtics at this time, becoming the league's first.

Before the start of the season, Russell said that they would still be No. [-] in the Western Conference. At that time, many people did not believe it, but now it feels that there is no suspense.

Because both the Spurs and the Mavericks have a little problem, the record is not as good as the Hornets, and there is still a gap between the Hornets and the Suns. This season, the competition in the Western Conference is fierce, but the Suns are still alone. Now many teams have raised the threat to the Suns again. grade.

On February 2, the Suns ushered in a challenge from the Wizards at the US Airways Center.

With Arenas injured, the Wizards performed well under the leadership of Jamison and Butler.

For a while, everyone thought they would withdraw from the playoffs, but they didn't expect them to resist.

Without Arenas, the Wizards improved their defense to stay in the playoffs.

It's just that they are still weaker in the face of really strong teams.

In this game, Stoudemire beat Haywood when he came up.

Haywood has performed well this season. He also has height, and he is not afraid of Stoudemire in the interior, but he just can't keep up with Stoudemire's rhythm. What can we do?

Haywood can also play Stoudemire in a positional battle, but the Suns won't give him many opportunities.

And now Jamison can also explode with Durant.

The performances of young players Blanche and Nick Young on the bench are also becoming more and more conspicuous.

It's a pity for Arenas, who missed the opportunity for the Wizards to become a strong offensive team in the East.

And with his sinking, the future Wizards will gradually lose their competitiveness.

After he waits for a year, everyone still maintains their spirit, but it will not work after a long time.

The Wizards played a very good teamwork in the second half of this game, but they still lost to the Suns in the end.

In many cases, when players have a gap in strength, tactical competition is not so meaningful.

Of course, the Suns are also at the top of the league in terms of tactics, not just the players.

After killing the Wizards, the Suns have two days to adjust, and then they will play back-to-back, followed by the All-Star Weekend.

The Suns will go back to back to play the Warriors away first. The Warriors' record this season is so-so. They may make a difference in the East, but they are still a little bit worse in the West.

Without Ellis, they are still almost meaningless on the offensive end.

Regarding the lineup, the Warriors have also tried their best, but they still need some opportunities in many cases in the league.

The old Nelson is good at coaching the team and is very skilled in all kinds of tricks, but he doesn't like defense and it is always difficult to bring the team to a higher level.

In this game, the Suns started the scoring mode. Russell, Ray Allen, Durant, Stoudemire, and Ellis all scored 20+ points, and the team also won steadily.

After the Suns returned home, they ushered in the Mavericks who made a trade.

The Mavericks did not perform well this season, and finally got Kidd over.

With young players and draft picks, the Mavericks also showed enough sincerity.

Kidd's organizational ability is what the Mavericks need most now, and this deal is definitely not a loss.

But this season the Mavericks can't do anything if they want to play well. Their head coach Johnson has lost the vigor at the beginning, and he has also got into a dead end in tactics.

In order to improve the team's offense, the Mavericks' defense this season actually had some problems.

But their offense has not improved much, so their record is not as good as in previous years.

And when Kidd came over, he would definitely have to get used to it. They should have made up their minds in the summer, and it was too late to get him over now.

Of course, it's just a little late for this season, not too late for the Mavericks.

After all, Harris, the main player in the trade, is not particularly suitable for the Mavericks.

It's just that Kidd is still unable to play in this game, and with Howard's absence, the Mavericks players have mediocre fighting spirit.

Terry has temporarily returned to the main lineup, but unfortunately he scores more points by himself and cannot organize and drive the team.

Nowitzki played steadily, attacking, organizing, and rebounding at the same time, but after all, two fists were no match for four hands.

The Suns' victory was a lot easier than before, and it was really difficult to play with fewer players on the team.

Russell feels that their advantage is not only the large number of players, but also the team doctor team. There are really few teams with as few injuries as they do. Some players with perennial injuries will be much healthier after coming to the Suns , Many easy games were won in this way.

Therefore, a team that really wants to win must do a good job in logistics.

It's a pity that many team managements only see superficial benefits. Even if the team they cooperate with doesn't perform so well, they won't make immediate moves. In this regard, Russell really thinks that the Suns deserve the championship.
