NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 53

Only Iguodala played again as the main force in the final quarter, and D'Antoni wanted to make the young man happy to the end.

Just playing with the bench lineup, Iguodala has no chance to shoot.

He has become a strong point on the court, without Russell's instant pass, and he is not strong, so he didn't make a single shot for a few minutes.

So he also went off the field, and the Suns put on the full bench.

But even so, Iguodala also scored the first 30 points of his career.

He also told reporters after the game: "This is wonderful, you can't believe it just happened, thanks to the coach and the best teammate of the team."

After returning to Phoenix, taking advantage of welcoming new teammates, Russell treated all the staff to a luxurious meal.

Tasting good red wine, the mood of the players is also very carefree.

Most of them don't know what's so good about red wine, and neither does Russell, but it feels good.

Because it's not drinking, it's drinking dollars and class status.

"Let me tell you, Boss Russell really has nothing to say, you can't go wrong with Boss Russell," Wallen yelled.

He has a good eloquence, and he talked about the extraordinary stories of Russell's student days, which attracted bursts of applause.

The players have never seen such a suitable general manager, and everyone can rap together.

Instead, Russell and Chamberke sat in opposite corners and asked some professional questions.

Harris didn't come, he paid attention to film and television investment projects while paying attention to NCAA players.

In fact, Warren is also concerned about the players who are expected to participate in the draft next year, but he still spends more time in Phoenix, and he will be with Russell when he comes back.

Harris also needs to have fun after work, and Russell is busy now, so there is less time to see each other.

However, the relationship between everyone is still very stable, and Harris does not dare to be sloppy in his work.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, if Russell doesn't shoot him to death, the Harris family will shoot him to death.

"We want to win the championship together and play together until we retire." The atmosphere was here, and everyone was excited.

But don't take it seriously at this time, everyone is full of alcohol and blood.

Those who were not so excited joined the discussion among Russell and the others, talking about the team's tactical adaptation during this period.

When the time was almost up, Russell arranged for someone to send all the players back.

If you have your own arrangements, you need to contact the team staff to confirm the status at any time. Don't drink a little wine and have problems. Russell is more careful about this aspect. After all, he has lived for two lifetimes and has gained a lot of experience.

"How soon do you want the team to win the championship?" Chamberlain asked as he and Russell came out together.

"You also think that when I said that I won the championship this season, I was talking casually?" Russell asked.

Zhang Boke shook his head, "You must be serious, but I want to analyze the possibility. I am a little worried because I know your character. If something unexpected happens, your patience can last for several seasons."

"Do you have this impression of me?" Russell looked a little weird, then smiled and patted the other person's shoulder and walked forward, "Don't think too much."

"Some things may be easier than you think, but if you are destined not to, it's okay. My friend, you have misunderstood me."

The two sides separated, and Russell went home in the car driven by the bodyguard.

It seems a bit late. It’s better to go back to take a shower and then play two simulation games to sleep well. You have to train and compete the next day, and you must maintain your physical condition.

The Suns are going to play back to back again, but the first game is at home.

So the first game doesn't matter, the second game will be relatively difficult.

The Warriors are visiting. The Warriors have been weak in the past few seasons. In the new season, they hired coach Mike Montgomery from Stanford University. However, college basketball coaches have not had much success in the NBA. Business leagues and college basketball are basically two kind of exercise.

The Warriors are just giving it a try, and they can't blame the coach for their weak lineup.

Their roster also changed over the summer, throwing away Nick Van Exel's big contract, not re-signing Dampier, and now featuring young players like Jason Richardson, Troy Murphy and Mike Dunleavy. host.

They actually want to make some achievements, but they are not strong enough. The team's strongest Richardson is also a quasi-All-Star.

They also hope to trade for an All-Star player, but this kind of thing is not so easy.

There was a transaction later, but it didn't have much effect on the record.

The Warriors, like the Suns, were early supporters of offensive basketball.

Even now, the Warriors' offense is like that. They can't compare with strong teams, but their defense is poor.

Russell faced Speedy Claxton, the type he likes. He is not tall, not very strong, and a traditional guard with average shooting. This rookie was signed by the Warriors after being mixed with the Spurs for a championship. coming.

The one who is not as famous as the bench, the Lakers changed their blood in the summer, and Fisher, who had mixed three championships with the Lakers, got a long-term contract with the Warriors.

Fisher is now at his peak, a strong tool man guard, the type who dribbles the ball to a star player after halftime, and goes to the three-point line to squat by himself.

He took a bigger contract but didn't have a starting position. Later, Clarkston traded away and traded for a bearded Davis. He was always only the second choice. The Warriors' experience made Fisher unhappy except for the money.

Of course, it's not that talents are unrecognized. A good role player like Fisher is only suitable for a championship team. Ordinary teams need a more capable guard, and he doesn't have that kind of strength.

The Suns are much stronger than the opponent, but the Warriors started the game first.

The reason is that Jason Richardson's unreasonable touch broke out. This buddy has good physical fitness. He has won the slam dunk championship and can shoot. It is difficult to limit the touch.

Joe Johnson's face was a little dark, and he was suppressed by his opponent again.

In fact, it is not completely suppressed. Joe Johnson's performance is quite satisfactory, but the opponent's performance is so good that he hit two three-pointers against Joe Johnson.

If it weren't for the good performance of the Suns this season, Joe Johnson is estimated to be scolded by fans for parallel imports.

It's okay to be upset. Among the teams they met, there were very few insiders who could suppress Stoudemire, but there were some outsiders who could play Joe Johnson.

Seeing Joe Johnson gnashing his teeth, Russell also went to comfort him.

"It's okay, the opponent is just lucky for a while, we just need to keep performing steadily and help the team win the game."

"I know." Joe Johnson responded lightly.

Even if you are very angry, you have to pretend to be calm. There are some such boring players in the league.

In addition, Warriors player Dunleavy also performed well. The Warriors have two big men who can shoot, Dunleavy and Murphy. Murphy is on the inside, and Dunleavy is on the outside.

To be honest, it's actually easier for big men to get shots from the perimeter.

Of course, Russell's biggest impression of this buddy is that his Clippers coach is also Mike Dunleavy. It is convenient for their family to name, just copy and paste.

"Brothers, this is our territory, we can't let them be arrogant anymore." Russell raised his index finger and said loudly.
