NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 347 Changes
"He must be locked, and we must be ready to help defend." James whispered to Wade.

He was worried that Kidd, an old guy, would not be able to restrain Russell. If Russell pulled out a few times from the three-point line, the previous efforts would be in vain.

"It's better to pay attention to other people. He may want to help his teammates get the MVP." Wade has different opinions.

Because Ray Allen is the person with the most points in the West at this time, thinking of Russell's previous All-Star performance, this possibility is very high.

If they go to help defend, they may just fall into Russell's trick, but if they don't help defend, Kidd may not be able to handle it at this time.

After the young players grow up, they will not respect the old players so much.

Kidd is indeed getting older, his strength is still good, but his movement is affected.

It didn't take long for James and Wade to whisper, and Russell hit a three-pointer directly in the counterattack.

Just a continuous change of direction, Kidd's defense has a loophole.

It can't be said that it missed people, but Kidd didn't expect Russell to make a two-step shot from beyond the three-point line.

Kidd retreated to defend the three-point line after being passed halfway by Russell, but Russell pulled it directly.

Russell suddenly shot coldly, and the East was still a little anxious, but at this time Wade went in but was taken by Stoudemire.

The defense of this lineup in the West is average, but the defense and offense of the All-Stars are not complicated. If the opponent comes in, Stoudemire will definitely have something to say at the end of the game.

When it was the west's turn to attack, Russell sent two second passes, and Paul and Ray Allen hit three-pointers respectively.

Now it was clear that they had to win with real swords and guns. Although there was no need to cover, Russell and Paul cooperated and successfully got the chance.

In terms of movement, the West is still better, and Russell's current rebounding ability will not let the West suffer any disadvantages. The pressure on the East has increased tremendously at this time.

In the Eastern Conference, Wade and James take turns attacking the inside. Their lineup has exposed the biggest problem, that is, there is no stable three-pointer.

Wade and James are not good at this, let alone the inside, and Kidd's offense is indeed a little anxious.

On the bench in the Eastern Conference, Billups felt average today.

In the end, they still got Joe Johnson up, and Wade went to play the one position.

It would be better for Wade to defend Russell, but it is a pity that this does not include offensive and defensive transitions. Russell is too strong when pushing fast breaks, and Anthony and Stoudemire can also rush up.

The score is still not much ahead in the West, even after three three-pointers, they only lead by 4 points, but time is running out, and the pressure of the game is much lighter for them.

Then James came in to complete the dunk, Wade also scored 2+1.

Their two abilities are indeed very good, but the West is not idle. Russell and Paul assisted Anthony and Stoudemire to score respectively.

With two passing masters, the game is much easier. This is different from James and Wade who can only break through and score the ball. There is also a gap in this regard.

If it weren't for the strong impact in the East, the game might end early.

And Joe Johnson also made a living at the critical moment. His previous performance was very flat, but at this time he hit a three-pointer steadily.

As long as they defend the West once, they will still have a chance.

Wade lowered his waist and was very serious. He must prevent Russell from shooting and force him to pass the ball. His teammates will complete the next work.

However, at this time Russell suddenly asked for a cover.

The eastern side was a little confused, isn't this an All-Star.

This is the All-Star, basically there is no need for a screen in the All-Star, but at the last moment Russell asked for one, it’s okay, can’t play pick-and-roll tactics in the All-Star, and how is it clearly stipulated.

Just when Wade was slow to react, Russell hit a three-pointer again.

There was no way to play this time, because there was no time. After Wade made a three-pointer and missed a three-pointer, the East chose foul tactics. Ray Allen made a steady free throw, and the game ended after two rounds.

Russell sent 20+ assists, but in the end the MVP was given to Ray Allen who scored 30+ points.

Russell is very happy because they are all his own people. Not only is he strong, but he can also make his teammates stronger.

Ray Allen also said after the game: "Winning and winning the MVP trophy means a lot to me. I played well and helped my team win."

Russell also said: "Ray is a very good player, this is just the beginning of our cooperation."

He also answered the China reporter's comparison between Stoudemire and Dayao. He said: "Stoudemire is more suitable for the All-Star atmosphere, but Yao deserves his name as the starter."

Such questions are super easy for Russell, and his performance is also worthy of the fans' expectations.

The media also thought that this year's All-Stars were very exciting. The East and West were fighting against each other, and the suspense was kept until the last minute.

The Suns took one less day off before the All-Star break, and can adjust one more day after the All-Star weekend.

Many teams have traded this season, and the second half of the season will not be easy.

The same is true for other teams. Many teams have already fought against the Suns.

They originally thought that the Suns would be weaker this season, but they didn't expect them to still have such a good record.

As Durant grew up, other teams thought of a terrible thing. If they didn't beat the Suns this season, it might be even more difficult in the future, so they all showed their talents.

On February 2, the Suns ushered in a brand new Lakers at home.

The Lakers still used the draft picks to get Gasol, and the Grizzlies were supposed to rebuild.

It's just that Bynum is injured, and the Lakers are still unable to offer a lineup of twin towers.

In addition, their front line is short of people, and the lineup is still not perfect.

Of course, if Gasol comes over, they will be reborn. Gasol is an All-Star player, and the combination of him and Odom will be very flexible.

The key is that Gasol is also suitable for the triangle offense. There are not many insiders with this player in the league, and the Lakers have also found the right target.

There are still no fools in the rich teams, and the several big deals that happened in the middle of the season are very targeted.

With a good helper, Kobe played very excitedly in the first quarter, which was completely different from the All-Star time.

Ray Allen worked hard on defense, but it is obviously unrealistic for him to completely lock Kobe.

To deal with Kobe, the Suns still have a flanking move, but there is no need to use it before. Let him get used to singles first, and then flanking in the final quarter. Kobe will often choose to be tough.

Of course, before that, the Lakers cannot gain too much advantage.

To be honest, the current Lakers are relatively weak on the defensive end, and they can't defend against the Suns.

When Kobe scored separately, Russell was not idle. Fisher was suitable for the Lakers, but they couldn't guard him.
