NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 88 Rage

In the end, Russell overwhelmed Kobe with a slight advantage and became the starter of the Western Conference All-Star, and D'Antoni also became the coach of the Western Conference All-Star game.

The Suns' record is similar to that in history, but variables are beginning to emerge.

Russell believes that they will eventually become luckier and stronger than in the original history.

Soon after the All-Star bench lineup was announced, Stoudemire and Marion joined hands.

It is a pity that Joe Johnson was not selected this season, because the Suns had a poor record last season, otherwise, with their super performance this season, they are worthy of four All-Stars.

After playing back-to-back away games, the Suns adjusted for two days and returned to the home court. When they stood on the court again, the players felt much refreshed.

In consecutive away games, people's legs are often filled with lead, and they have to rely on willpower to support them.

This situation is not only easy to lose, but also easy to get injured.

Fortunately, the Suns' team doctor was very good and provided the players with very suitable recovery advice.

Russell is working twice as hard now. After he officially entered the league, he started to lose weight slightly, and his body fat percentage has also been repeated. Fortunately, his body has mostly adapted by this time, and he has gained two pounds of muscle.

It's good to keep this state during the season, and Russell will add a little muscle in the summer.

The alliance confrontation is still relatively fierce, and he needs a stronger body.

It's just that if you don't add much muscle, it won't affect his moving speed, but it can increase his explosive power.

On February 2, the Knicks visited, and Marbury, who was stubborn, wanted revenge.

However, the Knicks have a very poor record now, and it is estimated that they will announce their goodbyes this season.

Marbury came to the place where he had fought before, but what greeted him was boos from the fans.

Russell also felt a little sympathetic to him at this time. This guy probably didn't get the favor of any fans, and it's not difficult to understand that something went wrong in his heart.

Marbury didn't play any point guard games this time, he just came up to score and caught Russell to play.

Russell didn't care, but he still had to despise the opponent. He sent a wonderful assist and said: "See, this is what the number one should do. Forget it...you can't do it anyway."

"Shut up, I'll blow you up." Marbury was furious.

Russell laughed straight, "And I will lead the team to win again. Beat me? Does anyone believe it, do you believe it yourself? Don't struggle, you just don't have the strength."

The two were right on each other, full of gunpowder.

In fact, the Knicks played well at the start, and their three-point defense against the Suns was relatively successful.

But the three parties and the inside line can only choose the same. If they block the Sun's outside line, they cannot block the Sun's inside line.

Stoudemire ravaged the basket again, and Marion rushed in repeatedly.

The Knicks' ability to protect the frame is worse than the Suns, and they really have nothing to do.

Coach Williams also feels that it is not bad to let the Suns play inside, after all, it is two points.

If the sun's three-point rain starts, then there is no need to fight.

Marbury scored in double figures in a single quarter, the highest in the game, but the Suns fell behind.

He was actually a little desperate in his heart. He actually had a hunch that if he scored more points, the team would fall behind.

But how to win the sun?He didn't know, he was just stubborn and unwilling to admit it.

However, the Knicks' bench lineup performed very well this time, and Penny Hardaway feels very good against his old club after his comeback.

Although he is no longer at the peak due to injuries, the former All-Stars can still occasionally have a flash of inspiration relying on experience.

Barbosa and Martin also performed well on the Sun's side, but they still caught up with the Knicks.

The Knicks season is hopeless, but because several players' old clubs are the Suns, they still want to win this game.

However, on the main lineup, even if the Suns didn't play so well outside, they still had the advantage.

Their inside advantage is too great. In fact, the Knicks still lead in rebounds, but they are too disadvantaged on both offense and defense inside.

The sun's inside line can score, and can also suppress the opponent's score.

Now is the era when the inside line is withered and the space inside line has not fully risen. The Suns have too much advantage in their style of play.

From the point of view of the score in the first half, everyone was evenly matched, but the bottom line has been figured out.

The Suns won't give the bench so much time in the second half, and the Knicks won't be their opponents if they don't play better.

The Sun's rotation lineup, the offense is not so strong is only one aspect.

As a team substitute, their offense is not bad, but their defense is indeed worse.

Martin is also a little embarrassed, he often can't guard against players.This is because the player's physical condition cannot keep up, and Russell will not blame the opponent, but just tells Martin to develop good defensive habits.

And the defensive problem of the rotation lineup is not only the outside line, but also the front line. The players are young and not strong enough. The speed of old players like Horry is relatively slow. I really don't see much effect in the regular season.

Now Horry is more about imparting experience to young players, and Russell only regards him as a lucky buff. Even if his performance on the court is average, he feels more confident.

"Alright, let's close the game in the second half!"

After the intermission, the Suns players walked out of the locker room full of confidence.

In the third quarter, they played more inside cuts.

Even if the Knicks' defense shrinks, it will be difficult for them to prevent the Knicks' inside cuts. This is the case with their inside line. As long as the Suns' violent men rush in, their short inside line can only watch.

While the Knicks' offense is more star singles, the Suns' defense can be very targeted.

Crawford didn't feel that good this time, and of course Marbury didn't give him so many opportunities.

Looking at the resolute offensive Marbury, the Suns are very confident on the defensive end.

Give him a few more points, it's a big deal, a star of Marbury's level can't kill the Suns.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the Knicks simply gave up their defense and took the fifth position to attack the Suns.

The Suns like such tough opponents, the rhythm of both sides has been further accelerated, and Russell has had several chances to break through and make layups.

The faster the pace, the more defensive loopholes, there is no way around this, and the Knicks have no intention of defending now.

The Knicks players had to attack each other for a while before they realized that the scores of the two sides were almost the same, and the Suns' lead was only a matter of one or two goals, but after half a quarter, the Suns had already led by double digits.

There was no three-pointer this time, the Suns were just grabbing the transition from offense to defense, and Russell's extremely penetrating passes directly turned into points.

The home fans were mesmerized, and the Knicks players gradually lost their fighting spirit.

When Russell once again took advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing and broke through for a layup, Marbury couldn't stand it and pulled Russell down severely.

Russell fell heavily to the ground, his head was a little dazed, and then he became furious.
