NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 81 Russell Rules
Russell asked Thomas Carter and Aaron Nelson, and settled on Bruce Fraser's recommendation.

The person recommended by Carter is more famous, but the other party has a formal job and can only work part-time.

Fraser recommends people from the same circle who specialize in private services and can provide more cost-effective services.

Mapel, an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman, is a certified nutritionist and physical therapist.

Like Fraser before her, she is well-known in her own circle, but it is difficult to meet a high-level client like Russell, and she is willing to provide one-on-one professional services.

As usual, Russell gave a good salary, but this way, it is enough to hire her alone, which is actually more affordable than those busy nutritionists and physical therapists.

Russell doesn't need the other party to follow him every day, after all, the team also has services in this regard.

What the other party has to do is to pay attention to the changes in his physical condition twice a week, and formulate targeted recipes.

Physical therapy is to cooperate with the Sun medical team and Fraser after games and training.

Russell was also careful before, but he will be more professional in the future.

For his own body, some money should be spent or has to be spent. He is very glad that he is not a relatively poor rookie.

With a private team serving him, he can grow more smoothly.

Russell needs to recover from his injuries, but the sun's tough schedule has not passed yet.

The team just adjusts for a day, and they are going to play back-to-back away games.

Russell can't follow the past, and can only do something that can be done, that is, make a video to ask for All-Star tickets.

He was injured so hard, can't the fans let him start the All-Star?

Russell doesn't mind pretending to be pitiful at all, and the fans certainly don't mind either.

There are indeed many fans who care about him and worry about his situation, and don't care at all that he, as a rich second generation, actually lives better when he is injured.

But without Russell, the Suns performed poorly.

On January 1, the Suns defeated the Pacers in an away game, and the final quarter became garbage time.

A few days ago, the Suns brutally abused the Pacers, and now the roles of the two sides have just been reversed.

O'Neal's performance appeared, overwhelming Stoudemire, and the Sun's offense was also the worst performance of the season.

Stoudemire was also criticized, thinking that he relied on Russell for his previous explosive performance.

O'Neal Jr. said, "Russell is the engine of the car. They have a lot of good players. These guys can score and do some extraordinary things. But without Russell's organization, their offense is in trouble."

Pacers guard Tinsley was very proud of beating the Suns with the league's first record. He said: "Today, we gave them a quick hit instead of letting them take the initiative. We kept scoring, so they couldn't help it." Play fast."

Carlisle also didn't mention Russell's absence at all. He said, "We played a good defense and the offense was not bad, so we won a big victory. Obviously, when you do a good job on one end of the court, it will help you on the other end. One end is better."

D'Antoni told reporters after the game: "When opponents are aiming at the youngest team in the league, can you expect us to win 73 games? Can you expect us to surpass the Chicago Bulls? My The answer is, we can't."

"People say we have to go through some adversity to really be a strong team. Well, Russell's injury created adversity for us."

The Suns are on a losing streak for the first time this season, but it's not over yet.

Next, they played back-to-back away games against the Wizards. They were overturned by the opponent in the last quarter and suffered a three-game losing streak.

The three strong points of the Sun, Stoudemire, Joe Johnson and Marion all scored 30+, but at the last moment they could only watch Arenas shine, and the importance of Russell was mentioned again.

"We lost Russell, which affected us a lot. When we have this court leader, the game will never be like this." A player in the Suns said after the game.

The fans of the Suns were also very impressed, so they voted for Russell more actively. There are also many fan organizations to help promote and get people to vote for Russell for the All-Star vote.

Russell didn't think that the injury would have such benefits. He immediately posted a message to thank the fans and said that he was actively preparing for his comeback. He hoped that he could give fans a wonderful performance in the All-Star.

The fans were greatly moved and voted more positively.

And there are many Huaguo fans who are the same as the local Phoenix fans. Russell's votes are soaring.

But others were miserable, and the Suns continued to fail.

The point is, they can't even attack.

They should also be blamed for their unlucky luck. After Russell was injured, they did not encounter that kind of rookie opponent.

On January 1, they played away against the Pistons and were rubbed against the ground by the defending champion.

Under the defense of the Pistons, Stoudemire couldn't rush at all. It felt like a rookie who had no inside skills and couldn't grab rebounds.

There is really no way, without Russell's pass, Stoudemire's singles are really nothing in front of the Pistons. After all, the Pistons played the F4 Lakers last season.

Losing to the Pistons was acceptable, but the Suns immediately lost to the Grizzlies.

The team has lost five games in a row, and their scoring has dropped from 110+ and 120+ when Russell was in the game to 80+ in the previous two games, and now only 70+ is left.

This gap is too big, and Stoudemire's performance is not as good as the brainless Swift.

Stoudemire originally planned to lead the team to victory during Russell's injury and win the support of more fans.

He also told Russell before that despite the rest, the team will cry now with him.

The team lost, the data dropped, and the fans stopped voting for him as an All-Star. He was about to become a representative of fake players.

The media summed up a Russell rule. As long as Russell does not play normally, the Suns will definitely lose.

D'Antoni is also very worried, fearing that the team will not be able to get up after this wave.

Russell was well at this time, but did not make an away comeback.

When the team returned to the home court on January 1, Russell returned to the game.

Originally, he also considered whether to wait for a weak opponent to come back, but he was still kind-hearted, and couldn't bear to see his coach and teammates being beaten all the time, and then came back against a strong opponent, the Spurs.

The fans were very moved, thinking that Russell came back early for the team, or faced the most difficult Spurs.

This is the responsibility of the team leader, Stoudemire is at best a scorer.

Russell told reporters before the game that he has fully recovered.

But the fans still don't believe it. They think Russell is the hero who saved the team with injuries.
