NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 43
"Maybe, the team will really create miracles this season."

Seeing Russell's edited interview video, many fans have a little hope in their hearts.

These are young fans who haven't suffered much from society and are easy to accept beauty.

Everyone thought Russell was talking nonsense when he won the championship last time, but now that the Suns have stabilized their start and tend to compete with the Spurs and Mavericks, the situation is different.

With the support of the record, even if it can't explain everything soon after the start of the new season, what is said is completely different. In competitive sports, the winner is king.

"Regardless of whether the team can compete for the championship, we will definitely not have a problem with the playoffs this season."

"This year's draft is really good. Russell is a player himself and really understands the ball."

"The sun will definitely get better and better, and the young players on the team are all good."

The fans' recognition is increasing, and the sales of tickets have also increased. Russell is also very happy.

He doesn't know much about sports. He bought the Suns just for his son. Now that the team is running well, the team will undoubtedly increase in value. He has more words to talk about in front of his old friends, and he has more face.

Russell's basketball career is going well, and he has a girlfriend again. The family thinks that he is more worry-free than Michelle.

"Boys really grow up fast after entering society."

Neither kid lived with Russell Sr. just for work.

But it would be nice to meet up for a meal every week. Old Russell is actually not very old, and he has his own life.

On the training ground, Russell is playing against the bench with a substitute.

Russell would probably be at the bottom of the team if he was singled out, but as long as he is partnered with others, he can bring out the offensive power of his teammates. Everyone likes to be teammates with him.

Russell also wants to bring out the team's rookies as much as possible, so that the Suns' combat effectiveness will be stable.

Looking at it now, Kevin Martin and Varejao have adapted to the team faster, but Varejao's style of play is already relatively mature. If the offense is not good, the Suns don't have to worry about the inside line at all.

Others are still slower. Ariza is still in the stage of polishing his skills. Don’t count on it this season. Barnes depends on the situation. He mainly improves his shooting. He is much more mature than Ariza in other aspects. It feels like he has played in college for four years. Still not the same.

"Hey, trust me, you guys can do better," Russell said to his teammates during the break.

"Of course, before I came to the team, I never thought that basketball could be played like this." Varejao said excitedly.

"I'm going to train hard and I can definitely do better."

He has a more outgoing personality, and he is less talkative when he is a little young.

Russell doesn't care about the character of the players, as long as he can contribute to the team.

"Training according to the coach's requirements, everyone will definitely become stronger. We are different from other teams, and each of our team spots is very meaningful to the team. However, everyone must pay attention not to get injured. Talk to the team doctor."

Dr. Thomas Carter and Aaron Nelson's chief trainer, this pair of miraculous doctors who have rejuvenated, one is in charge of treatment and the other is in charge of recovery. Of course, Russell kept this team.

After all, in the original history, the Suns were most famous as the team doctor.

In the NBA, the most difficult thing to predict may be injuries, so Russell pays great attention to this aspect.

Every player on the team, Russell does not want to have injuries.

Injuries can be avoided if they can be avoided. On the contrary, the outcome of a few games in the regular season is not that important.

Cooperating with the team doctor to prevent minor physical problems is the concept that Russell wants to instill in the players.

All rookies are given a four-year contract. Not only does Russell want to use the rookie contract reasonably, but also to allow young people to train and improve without worrying about other things in a short time.

So the rookies of the Suns don't need to disregard their bodies to prove themselves, Russell believes in them.

This kind of belief is reflected in ordinary training and communication.

The new season has not yet started, and the players in the team may not have a very close relationship with Russell, but they have basically accepted and believed in him.

It’s cool not to go to the away game. Even if the training time is long, you can go home slowly and rest comfortably.

The place where Russell lives now is one of the family's villas, which are not large in size but very close to the city.

He has bodyguards around him, but there is no nanny at home. He doesn't like other people entering his private space.

Anyway, he usually goes home after eating, and occasionally he can make a meal adjustment when he is interested.

Before the break, he conducted a simulated battle again, and his opponent was the Bucks he was going to face next.

The Bucks have not changed much in the summer lineup, but the defense has become relatively poor in the new season, and they have fallen directly from the playoffs.

They are also mainly young players. Sometimes young players grow up and can greatly increase the strength of the team, but they may also be affected and lead to a decline in the strength of the team.

The Bucks dug Mike James from the Pistons to play the sixth man in the summer, and it looks okay.

Because of TJ Ford's injury, they directly signed the unwanted second-year player Maurice Williams, who quickly developed into the team's starter.

As a small ball market, their summer operations are okay, at least they didn't mess around.

Xiao Mo still doesn't have a nickname that everyone doesn't pass on. The Bucks' vision is not bad, and they have found a guard that can be used.

But if there is a problem with the team's performance, there is really no way.

It can only be said that this kind of marginal team in the Eastern Conference playoffs is not stable enough.

The boss of the team, Reid, is a weak All-Star at best, and the head coach Terry Porter is also very average.

The new season started poorly, and it is normal to fall down.

Not to mention, if the history remains the same, they really got a champion lottery.

Although they used the same number one pick, at least it's not a loss, isn't it, how many teams work hard and can't get it.

On November 11, the crowd at the Suns home court was surging, and the stadium finally had no empty seats.

They have a sharp offense and a good record in the new season, and the fans' interest in coming to the stadium to cheer has greatly increased.

There are even quite a few personal fans of Russell, not the kind of family business employees.

The Bucks have a few positions in the starting lineup where the individual defense is very average, but this is not the root cause of their poor defense, and their team defense is not good either.

Russell is also happier playing against a guard like Maurice Williams. This buddy is an attacking guard with poor defense and average speed. Russell can play relatively easily.

It is not without reason that Xiao Mo was given up by the Jazz in his second grade, but this player has the ball and mid-range, so it is normal to be able to stay in the league.

At the beginning of the game, the Suns played a mercury-like offense.

They always feel better at home. Iguodala felt good at the start of this game, which shows that the Suns' starting lineup has no weaknesses on the offensive end, and it is difficult for anyone to play.
