NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 91 Defects
The Suns and the Kings, an offensive feast in the West, ended up with the victory of the Suns.

The Kings shot better three-pointers in this game, but they still lost.

The Suns have more rebounds, the Suns score more steadily at critical moments, and the Suns not only have offense.

As a strong team in the Western Conference, the Suns have demonstrated the strength of their comprehensive team.

The outside world has no doubts about their ability to hit the championship, but thinks that their players are too young and do not have enough experience in the playoffs, so they may not be able to perform at that time.

The next game also seemed to prove the instability of the sun.

They returned to the home court to face the Sonics. The substitute lineup was brutally abused by the opponent, and the short winning streak came to an end again.

The Sonics are still very strong, and there is no doubt that they will also be the enemy that the Midwest teams will face in the playoffs.

Ray Allen and Lewis are stable, and more importantly, Daniels and Radmanovic in their rotation are getting stronger.

The Supersonics have both offense and defense this season, and no one dares to say that they can win against them.

However, the soldiers of the sun were not too worried.

The Sonics are a team that relies on three-pointers to gain touch. Facing this type of opponent, it is normal to lose a game.

But when the playoffs start consecutively, their winning percentage is still higher.

From the perspective of the hard power of the team, the most dangerous players in the West to the Suns are the Spurs and Mavericks. The shortcomings of other teams are more obvious.

There was only one day to adjust the time after the loss, and the Suns immediately rushed to the away game against the Warriors.

They will be back to back again next time, and the arrangement of playing away first and then returning home is relatively acceptable.

The Warriors' record is in a mess now, and the co-prosperity ranks second to last in the West. The Suns feel that the opponent should be bad, and their mentality is relatively relaxed.

The Warriors now put Adonal Foyer in the starting five position. Foyer's inside offense is mediocre and his rebounding is also very average, but he is very good in assisting defense.

Relying on this defense, he didn't play much time in the Warriors, but he has a good contract.

The Suns are off to a good start, and their offense is a few pick-and-rolls better than the Warriors.

It's just that Stoudemire was a little depressed. Foyer's style of play actually restrained him a little bit, and he was in good condition, with a rebound.

The Suns fell behind on rebounds a lot and didn't care too much about it.

Anyway, in terms of score, they have been steadily leading the Warriors by double digits.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly in the fourth quarter. The Warriors' star Richardson broke out. After all kinds of losses, Fisher also came to feel, and made a cold shot from the outside. Tied the score.

In this quarter, the Warriors showed unimaginable enthusiasm. The Suns lost 10 rebounds in a single quarter and 20 rebounds in four quarters.

D'Antoni, who has always been a good man, couldn't help losing his temper. The Suns' rebound protection was too poor.

Stoudemire didn't seem to get a good night's sleep today. He was sleepwalking all the time on the court. He couldn't score after being crushed by someone on the rebound. Russell wondered if this guy went out to play at night.

Fortunately, they were not killed by someone, and the Suns who were dragged into overtime were suddenly awakened, solidly protected the backcourt rebounds, and then won the game by relying on their personal offensive advantages.

The game was won by accident, but everyone was not happy, and Russell, who won a double-double again, was the same. Although he has not made great efforts on the defensive end, everyone is responsible for the way the game is played.

Stoudemire also said after the game that he did not play well in this game, and he will not take it lightly.

Therefore, they put their fighting spirit on the back-to-back games against the Jazz.

Stoudemire resurrected with full blood and scored 40+, helping the team beat the opponent.

And Russell also sent out 20+ assists again, the data is very gorgeous.

It's just that their rebounds lost to their opponents again, which is a bit of a headache.

Stoudemire's rebounding is mediocre, and Marion is the Sun's best rebounder.

But Marion is not a real insider after all. If the rhythm cannot be raised and they can only compete with their opponents, their rebounding will have problems.

Although the inside combination of Stoudemire and Marion has abused many teams this season, it is undeniable that they are not traditional insiders. In front of some teams, their insiders will be weak.

"We still have to grab rebounds together." On the training ground, Russell communicated with other Suns players.

The real strength of the Suns is actually the striker, including Joe Johnson and Iguodala, who have the ability to rebound. If they want to protect the rebound, they must all work together.

Russell also made up his mind, and he also wanted to get involved.

One more person is more strength, not to mention Kidd on the back line, even Curry rebounded well later.

If Russell improves in this area, he can directly launch a fast break when he gets a rebound, instead of waiting for his teammates to pass the ball, so that their counterattack speed will be faster.

Of course, rebounding ability cannot be achieved overnight, Russell must first have this willingness.

If everyone is more active without watching on the field, the Suns' rebounding will be better, and their chances of winning the game will be higher.

Perhaps at some point in the playoffs, the key to winning or losing is the protection of a rebound.

With Russell organizing everyone to discuss, the Suns players are willing to work hard in this regard, and the team atmosphere is still good.

But the atmosphere belongs to the atmosphere. When the Suns had Russell, the team's first losing streak appeared.

The opponent is a powerful Mavericks, and they are not wronged when they lose.

The Mavericks Dampier missed the game, and they boldly put Nowitzki in the fifth position, which worked wonders.

Nowitzki couldn't guard Stoudemire, but Stoudemire's rebound was exploded again.

The outside world has a lot of soft words for Nowitzki. In fact, he just has enough range. Nowitzki is not soft when fighting inside. He is also very good at killing inside with the ball.

Later, when he got older, Nowitzki just shot more.

And now, it is Nowitzki's peak period.

Of course, there are other reasons for the Suns' loss in this game, and that is the outbreak of the Mavericks' striker.

Finley and Josh Howard broke out at the same time, and the Suns lost here.

Sometimes the success of the game is also Russell's loss. The Suns players now rely on Russell's second pass. When the critical moment is singles, the player's ability is not as good as some ruthless players on the strong team.

There is no way to do this, if there is no beauty of Russell, the Suns will not have the current record.

Russell's own offensive flaws are sometimes more obvious.

Russell also vowed secretly that he must train hard to make himself stronger.

At the critical moment, when he has a certain degree of confidence in singles with the ball, the Suns will be unstoppable.
