NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 80 Accident
Varejao ended up with five fouls, like a victorious general.

He didn't score in the second half, but he won enough rest time for Stoudemire. O'Neal was already panting a bit on the field, and the big shark with reduced physical strength couldn't bite its prey.

"O'Neal is still difficult to limit, but his dominance..." Barkley sighed.

"He was hated by a rookie, and he hasn't been furious yet. This is not the Shaquille I know."

"The victory of this game will be won by the Suns. The Heat did not show their strength in the Eastern Conference. The Suns gained the advantage too easily."

After a good rest, Stoudemire came up and caused consecutive fouls. He made a good free throw percentage this time.

Compared with O'Neal, the Heat want to cry.

Halfway through the final quarter, the Suns' lead was still 20+, and the game entered garbage time.

The two sides replaced the bench lineup, and when the Suns started the five tigers off the field, all of them scored in double figures.

Facing O'Neal, Stoudemire still scored 30+, and he will be added to the list of strong insiders in the West this season.

And Russell, once again scored a beautiful double-double with 20 assists, which made the opponent's coach extremely envious.

After losing to the Sonics, O'Neal was very unconvinced, thinking that the opponent's forward group was just a bunch of guys who liked to flop.But after losing to the Suns, the Sharks showed a generous side, comparing Stoudemire Jr. with his young self: "Tonight's game is between the old me and the young me." Confrontation. I wanted to push him outside for the jump shot, and he made it, and he shot it so well, a nice lad."

This is the thick skin of the old guy. When he is fucked, he says he looks like himself when he was young. As O'Neill gets older, he will give away the title of "Little Shark" without money.

However, Stoudemire feels very refreshed by the affirmation of his seniors. After all, O'Neill's status in the world is there.

He said: "I did a little more than usual in every aspect. I tried to fight him in various ways, and at the same time, I used my own jumper. I expected him to drop back a little and let me jumper. And When he comes out to defend, I will change my strategy and try to rush to draw him a foul or create an opportunity for my teammates."

Heat coach Stan Van Gundy was convinced after the game, "I have never seen a faster team than them in the ten years I have been in the NBA. They have excellent athletes in every position."

D'Antoni said, "So far we have integrated very well. Russell made everything look easier, and the other guys also made everything easier. They rely on each other. This may be the best game we have played all year. A good time."

Russell is more high-profile. He made it clear to reporters: "They are the best team in the Eastern Conference, and we are the best team in the league. I hope fans can vote for us, and we will meet the All-Stars."

Compared with his face, he didn't give up too much. This game has attracted a lot of attention, so he must gain some enthusiasm.

The outside world was also surprised that the Suns took their opponents lightly.

The Associated Press stated that in the East-West boss duel, the Heat lost completely.

ESPN reported that the Suns are sharp offensively and the Heat are helpless.

USA Today believes that the Suns easily "handle" the leader of the Eastern Conference.

Anyway, as the season continues, the Suns' status in the league has been increasingly recognized.

This is not someone's politeness, but the reputation they have earned in every game.

In the regular season, no one can deny the body of their strong team.

So although it's still a bit early, the Suns have to wait until the playoffs to further prove themselves.

After having a blast with the Heat at home, the Suns rushed to Utah to play back-to-back without stopping.

It is also tiring to play back-to-back away games, especially at home on a plateau like the Jazz.

However, the Suns are relatively familiar with the Jazz. Their record has been declining now, and the team has begun to perform poorly. Raja Bell and Okur, who were put on the starting lineup, have been taken down again.

They stuffed three rookie players in their starting lineup. If it wasn't for Boozer who is now their general, Sloan would want him to rest on the bench.

The NBA has not been relegated anyway, so many teams are unscrupulous when they make a bad decision.

Facing the bad lineup of the Jazz, the Suns played very easily when they came up, not at all like a team playing back-to-back away games.

In just half a quarter, they led to double digits.

However, Russell had an accident at this time. In a confrontation, he had an ankle problem.

Playing against the Heat, he still played a bit longer, and Russell's physical condition has already had some problems in the consecutive back-to-backs in January, but he didn't respond much to the lack of confrontation on the back line.

After all, he is only a rookie, and he didn't play many games in college. He directly transitioned to high-intensity NBA games. His body load is relatively heavy. Even if he pays more attention, injuries will come unknowingly.

Before Russell was injured, he really didn't expect that the Sun's medical team is very good, and he has been paying attention to it before.

Unexpectedly, he kept reminding others to be careful not to get injured. As a result, he was the first to have problems among the five starters.

Fortunately, it should only be a sprain, and Russell did not leave early after being confirmed by the team doctor.

This is an away game, so it doesn't make much sense to leave early.

After Russell left the court, the other Suns players were very uncomfortable. In addition, their physical strength was not in the best condition, and the Jazz quickly caught up with the score.

The Jazz actually didn't want to win, but the players didn't agree.

Okur played just 20 minutes off the bench and scored a large double-double. Raja Bell and Lopez also scored in double figures. As a result, the Jazz reversed the Suns and won the game without Boozer showing much.

The Suns' winning streak was interrupted, but no one cared. They were all concerned about Russell's injury.

After the game, Russell returned to Phoenix for a professional inspection. The problem is still not serious, and no bones are injured, but he must rest for a few games.

Dr. Thomas Carter advised him that he had better be fully healthy before playing.

He is a rookie in the NBA, and his body is not particularly strong. It may be very troublesome if he comes back in a hurry and has problems again. At this time, he can also take the opportunity to restore his physical fitness.

Russell wants to cry, he doesn't want to rest, and now he is competing for the All-Star starter.

Russell is also very depressed if he pays so much attention or is injured.

He communicated with Thomas Carter and Aaron Nelson of the team's medical team. Both of them believed that his physical fitness needs to be improved. Although he is on the back line, the confrontation in the NBA is fierce, and he needs to be stronger to maintain his health for a long time body of.

Russell thought that the sun had a genius doctor and didn't care. After this injury, he realized that he must be more careful to protect his body.

Thinking of the physical investment of those top players, he felt it necessary to hire a private nutritionist and physical therapist.
