NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 356
The back-to-back away games played by the Suns were easy, but when they returned home, they encountered the Rockets who came to challenge.

The Rockets have a good record now, and they also have the opportunity to hit the top four teams in the Western Conference.

However, Dayao was injured and unable to play.

In addition to the lineup problem, the Rockets have injuries. Their lineup is not bad this season. If Dayao and McGrady stay healthy, they may be able to suppress the Spurs. Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Without Dayao, the Rockets directly confronted the Suns under the leadership of McGrady.

The head coach of the Rockets is Thibodeau now, and Thibodeau also focuses on defense, but he still knows the Suns better, so he tried some counterattacks.

It's just that there is actually a problem with his offensive tactics, and he is completely star-eating.

The Rockets can speed up, which should be better for McGrady, no matter whether he wins or loses, the defense he faces will not be as tight as a layup.

It's a pity that this buddy still hit a low shooting percentage, Russell admired it very much.

It is said that Kobe is picturesque, but this buddy is really only picturesque, and his shooting rate is much lower than Kobe.

But this style of play still attracts fans, Russell really pities those players who play down-to-earth.

With McGrady as an undercover agent, the Suns didn't give the opponent any chance from the beginning to the end.

Of course, this buddy also scored a quasi-triple-double, and the data is very good.

If you only need the shooting percentage of this buddy, Russell can get a triple-double of the season, and win the scoring, assists, and steals at the same time, and he can set various single-game records.

At the end of March, the sun needs to go to the east for a walk.

The first place they went was Detroit. The Pistons actually have a good record now, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.

In fact, their regular season performance is no worse than when they won the championship.

It's just that their hardness may be a bit worse, or it may be that their luck is not as good as before.

The current situation of the Pistons is a bit embarrassing. They are aiming to win the championship again, but there are no superstars in the team, and this wish is difficult to realize.

And in this case, they tried hard to get some reasonably qualified rookies, but they couldn't train them.

The Pistons are actually a bit tasteless in the league now.

Whether they are willing to admit it or not, there are no final players in the playoffs, and it is too difficult to create miracles.

And to win the championship, their lineup may not just create a miracle once.

This is the case for teams that are not willing to spend money, hoping to win with a decent lineup.

However, after a few seasons, they have seen some facts clearly. When they really recognize their own strength, it is time to rebuild.

Certainly not this season. Without the Celtics' rise, they would still be the best team in the East.

In fact, it is not measured by the championship level. The current Pistons are not bad. McDyess is also playing more and more stable inside the team. His partner with Rasheed Wallace is not bad.

Outside Billups, Hamilton and others are also relatively stable. Their lineup cannot be said to be too old, but they have no potential.

At the beginning of the game, the Pistons played unexpectedly well.

Why is it an accident, because it is not their regular pattern, Wallace feels so good at the three-point line, relying on him to support the Pistons and the Suns to play back and forth.

And their defense is only quite satisfactory, and Stoudemire is now much more agile than the Pistons' two insiders.

In order to guard against the Sun's perimeter, the Pistons did not shrink much, allowing Stoudemire to hit the basket many times.

They pay attention to guarding against the Suns' three-pointers, and then compete with the Suns relatively easily.

The Pistons are pretty good at this way of deciding the outcome, but not as good as the Suns. Fortunately, they are lucky. Rasheed Wallace feels very good today.

Wallace is better at the [-]-point line than Okur because he can handle the ball.

But when it comes to the rotation period, the Pistons are definitely not opponents.

Their approach is to defend. The Pistons have not lost their defense until now, which is the reason why they can stabilize in the regular season, but after all, it is a little different from the original defense. It has a great effect.

In the second quarter, Wallace missed his three-point bet, and he was not a marksman in the first place.

And someone from the Pistons stood up again, that is Prince, he is also a little tender to bully the current Durant, especially in terms of defense.

In terms of scoring, the Pistons are indeed a team team, more team than the Spurs.

It is also because of this that they have no real killer.

In the first half, the Pistons struggled and worked hard, that is, they barely bit the score.

The two teams can be regarded as understanding each other, and there was no fundamental change in tactics in the second half.

It's just that the Pistons can't bloom more at the same time like the sun, they are coming in turns.

Billups, who had a mediocre feel in the first half, finally rose to prominence in the third quarter.

Russell is not afraid of him now, so he confronts him.

Billups is also a very powerful first position, not weak in all aspects, and very good at taking advantage of his advantages.

However, he is slightly weaker than Arenas in all aspects, so Russell can still carry it.

In the case of the two attacking each other, the score is generally tight because the Pistons defend very well.

But the Suns are still slightly ahead. The situation is similar to the previous game against the Pistons. They used a small advantage to eat away at the Pistons, and then the Pistons, who are not very good at the offensive end, cannot come back.

However, the situation has changed slightly during the rotation period. Pistons rookie Stuckey performed well and helped the Pistons keep up with the rhythm of the Suns.

Stuckey is still good in some aspects, no wonder the Pistons want to train him later.

It's a pity that his combo guard's strength is not perfect and he really can't be the boss of the team. The Pistons also trained the wrong people behind them, which led to a few more detours.

To be precise, he never came out from behind.

But now, Stuckey still has some offensive power on the bench.

Of course, the Pistons can have such a performance because Billups has been on the court, and Russell is resting when he should rest.

Therefore, Russell achieved excellent statistics and records in the regular season without going all out. It is basically no problem to say that he is No. 1 in the league.

At the end of the quarter, Billups also consumed a lot, and his shots gradually became inaccurate.

However, relying on defense and overall performance, the Pistons still bit the score.

It's just that in the last 5 minutes, Russell started to be unreasonable again.

He had enough rest, Billups couldn't keep up with him at this time, Russell just called a screen and shot.

Of course, it may also be a second pass. Anyway, it is difficult for defensive players to find the difference for a while.

When studying the video, you may be able to find some differences, but it is difficult to react directly on the field.

So, the Pistons once again felt helpless.

Without a superstar, it's just so aggrieved.
