NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 66 Meeting Resistance
The Nuggets have guys who can't play, but they're good at home, and they feel like they have a chance to win the game.

The sun can only be regarded as a flash of success now, and many teams feel that they have a chance to beat them.

In other words, the demeanor of their strong team has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if the opponent thinks that they are playing well, they will also feel that they are more lucky in their hearts.

However, the Nuggets' tactics are really very targeted.

In the first quarter, their guard Andre Miller played various singles against Russell.

Andre Miller is actually the same height as Russell, but he feels like a tall guard.

What Livingston wanted to do on the Clippers side was not done, but Andre Miller did it.

The key is the wingspan. For a defender of this height, Russell's wingspan is already very good, but the opponent is even better. It has exceeded two meters. It is definitely a gibbon.

Andre Miller can even back up Russell. Now many insiders are not so big, but this buddy is very familiar, Russell is very depressed.

He was also fouled twice, and the opponent directly resisted him with his body, and it was easy to lose control.

Fortunately, Stoudemire also performed very well on the Sun's side. In fact, Martin and Nene are both insiders who can defend against pick-and-rolls, but they are not so effective against Stoudemire.

what is the reason?It is because the bully is too violent, Martin and Nene have no problem with speed, but their explosive power is not as good as Stoudemire.

Stoudemire is also unhappy about the All-Star voting now, so it is quite violent.

Especially Nene, he is playing tricks, he did not expect Stoudemire to be so capable of rushing and booming.

Russell also wondered why Stoudemire's violent style of play is not very popular with fans.

It may be that he is not handsome enough, or that the dunk video is not well-developed enough, or that people feel that he is not a person who leads the team to win because of his strong limbs and simple mind.

Forget it, who cares, he is popular enough, and Russell will lead his teammates after he becomes more popular.

Russell was plagued by fouls in the first quarter and didn't play much time, sitting on the bench and thinking about it.

Barbosa's organization effect is much worse when he goes up, and Joe Johnson needs to use it to make the ball.

The Suns are now used to Russell's existence, and he feels weird when he plays.

Without Russell's ball scheduling, the Suns' tactics were still a bit lacklustre.

Even if Stoudemire performed well, they were given the lead by the Nuggets.

Stoudemire is undoubtedly an All-Star, and he is still a relatively strong one, but he has shortcomings in his control of the game.

His defensive ability is not enough to help the team stabilize the morale.

It is also impossible to attract double-teams in the low post, giving outside players more opportunities.

So it's no wonder that there aren't enough All-Star votes. He still has a lot to improve.

Of course, the opponent is also a reason, and it will be easier to get in after a few years when there is no one on the inside. Later, the NBA All-Star voting canceled the center position because of the lack of stars.

In the contest of substitutes, the two teams were equally divided.

In fact, in terms of personnel, the Suns are stronger, especially the inside line. Varejao's compatriot Nene started their rotation and there was a shortage of players, and Varejao was also powerful when he played.

It's a pity that the Suns' outside performance was unstable, but Nuggets veteran Brian Russell played very well and did not let the Suns take the opportunity to chase points.

Brian Russell is the one who provoked Jordan to become famous. Jordan beat him to hit a lore and win the second three consecutive championships in his life, which also made this buddy a famous background board.

It's a pity that Internet celebrity players are not very popular now. He is about to retire with a basic salary in the Nuggets. After retiring, he will continue to provoke Jordan to maintain his popularity.

Just such an old player told the young Suns what a good role player should do when he came out.

He's almost 35 years old and still making dollars on the court, and it's not just by mouth.

The team's backwardness also made the Suns vigilant, and they began to defend first.

The Nuggets do not have Anthony, and their offensive strength has undoubtedly declined.

"Don't let Martin rush, you know what to do." Russell and his teammates said.

Martin is also an impact player, but he is not as strong as Stoudemire, and the Suns are familiar with this style of play.

Russell also pays a lot of attention when he plays again. Andre Miller has a stable scoring ability, but the speed is not fast. Russell can still control his hands.

He also wanted to confront the opponent before, so he got it.

In the second quarter, Russell organized honestly. Even if the Nuggets took stricter precautions against Stoudemire, the Suns' offense did not have any problems.

The Suns have too many offensive points. With Russell dispatching, everyone is a threat.

And the performance of the Nuggets is not bad. Their main lineup doesn't shoot three-pointers very much, but the mid-range shots are relatively stable.

Including Nene, I feel very good today.

Stoudemire is indeed doing a good job in restricting the opposing players.

However, the Suns' front line defense is good, and the overall defense is getting more and more tacit, and the momentum of the Nuggets' offense has slowed down.

By the end of the first half, the Suns had caught up with the score.

Generally speaking, the two teams feel that there is not much difference. The Nuggets have indeed prepared, and both offense and defense are more targeted.

Now that the second month of the season is almost over, other teams are doing more and more research on the Suns. They certainly cannot maintain a high winning percentage all the time.

This is the only way for teams with changing lineups. Some teams have a good chemical reaction and will start winning streaks, and then they will slow down later. Some teams do not start so well, and their winning percentage will gradually increase later.

The season is relatively long, and it is a process of adjustment for all teams.

"The opponent also has a lot of pick-and-roll attacks, we can do better." Russell said during the intermission.

In fact, the Nuggets' pick-and-roll intention is more obvious. After Miller and Martin pick-and-roll, there is a high probability that one of them will end, and the relatively small probability is the weak side and other points.

It sounds a bit like the sun, it can be said to be their ordinary version.

It is reasonable to say that the sun can handle it, but the actual operation is not so easy.

The Nuggets also felt that they should be restricted better. Coach Bzdelik encouraged the players, "We are very familiar with the Suns' style of play. We can consume them and beat them with stability."

"This is the Pepsi Center, our territory, and we will definitely win the final victory."

The challenge is much bigger than imagined, but this is a basketball game, and you have to play it to know the result.

Playing again in the third quarter, Russell and his teammates bumped their fists one by one, and they wanted to show a better attitude.

They are not afraid of losing, but if they can win the game, they must work hard to win it. This is a professional attitude.

"Brothers, show them some color, we are the boss in the west." Russell shouted.
