NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 245 Public Enemy of the Alliance
Stoudemire back, then Varejao will return to the bench.

However, after playing as a starter for a season, his worth has been raised, and he has no objections.

Xia Tian still had contact with the team to trade him, but the Suns still need him as a meat shield inside, there is nothing good to gain, and it is impossible to trade him.

For example, Martin, who has won the best sixth man, is not going to be traded this season.

The Suns also enjoy the benefits of the players' rookie period. When the time comes, it is easy to say whether they will directly sign with a team that is willing to pay a good price.

Therefore, compared with last season, the Suns' starting lineup has changed at the fifth position.

Because there are many young people, the Suns have completely maintained the championship lineup. After Stoudemire's return, the team has become stronger. Therefore, the Suns have become the public enemy of the entire league before the season has even started.

Anyway, the strength is strong, Russell doesn't care much, if they don't disintegrate, other teams in the league really can only hold back.

In early October, the preseason began, and the Suns belonged to the group that started the game earlier this time.

Undoubtedly, because of the league's promotional plan in Europe, the Suns were one of several teams that went to play in Europe.It has to be said that league president Stern does have a hand in NBA promotion.

Now it's the harvest season. When the whole world spends money for the NBA, the value of the team and the salaries of the players will increase significantly.

Those who have sold the team in the past few years are actually at a disadvantage, because all teams will increase their prices in the future, including those teams with poor records.

If the Suns are an upstart in the alliance, it must be even more unusual.

Now the Suns are also very popular in Europe, and fans who like beautiful basketball have almost no borders.

So Russell also received a warm welcome in Italy, maybe there are many European beauties willing to give birth to monkeys for him.

But now it is easy for him to hook up with beautiful women, and the possibility of being exposed is also very high. Celebrities are like this.

Russell just sighed, he really doesn't have much interest in this aspect, as long as his girlfriend is beautiful, it's better to fuck others on the basketball court.

In the game against Roma Vitus, Russell made an appearance in the first quarter and didn't play much.

He plays too much to bully others. In European games, it is better for the team to play young people who usually don't have many opportunities.

D'Antoni is also relatively familiar with European basketball. Under his command, the two teams played very fiercely. In the end, the Suns won a small victory. It can be said that everyone is happy.

After that, everyone also played around in Italy before returning to Phoenix.

Therefore, the start of the preseason is still relatively easy, but the team's training is still unambiguous.

Not all players are so self-disciplined in the summer, so during the preseason, in addition to lineup running-in, it is more about getting the players back to the game.

As the defending champion, the Suns still like to get off to a good start.

On October 10, the Suns faced the 11ers.

The 76ers haven't made any big changes yet, only an unknown rookie. Their draft level is not bad, but this season is not very good.

They have been selling Iverson in the summer. The answer is that the popularity is still not low, and the scandals with various teams are flying everywhere. It is said that the Celtics are very interested, but in the end there is still no deal.

So their roster is the same as last season, but everyone knows they will change, it's just a matter of time.

Iverson performed well this time, and his offensive power is still outstanding. Teams with ideas will definitely continue to contact the 76ers.

Russell did not play too much in this game. Now the team is helping Stoudemire reintegrate, and the goal is not to win for the time being.

Even if there are conflicts, they are suppressed now. The goal of the Suns is to establish a dynasty and leave a name in the history of the alliance.

However, under Russell's second pass, the Suns are still in the leading position.

In the second half, the main players of both sides began to reduce their appearances, and at the end of the quarter, they basically watched from the sidelines.

The 76ers' young players also played well, but they are still not inferior to the Suns.

This season, the Suns' bench is still the best in the league.

After defending the title, there is no problem saying that their lineup is the first in the league, whether it is a starter or a substitute.

They are the new super team, and they are all young players, and the others have nothing to say.

The only good thing is that after the rookie period of young players, their value will soar, and the Suns will not be able to keep them in the future, otherwise other teams will really have no way to survive.

After winning the game, Russell also said to reporters: "Well, our goal this season is to defend the title. If I say anything else, I think everyone will not believe it."

"Amare has fully recovered, but we will not let him play so much time at the beginning, the team will let him adapt slowly. There is no doubt that his return will make the game easier."

D'Antoni also pretended: "I am very troubled now. There are too many talented players on the team. It is difficult for me to get all of them enough playing time..."

The coaches of other teams in the league must want to beat people, why are all the good players in the Suns.

Although the team's rookies didn't perform well, they also played very well in the summer league. Could it be that the Suns will not make mistakes in the draft? The outside world is very curious.

For the Suns now, the preseason really doesn't matter.

But they are too strong, there is really no way, Russell and the others can win even if they rest.

In the next game against the Lakers, Kobe didn't play again, and they also took it lightly.

The Lakers didn't do much this season. They signed Radmanovic in the summer, and the rest are minor repairs.However, the team's young players are still growing, such as Bynum, a sophomore with good static talent.

But forget it if you want to compete with a few strong teams in the West, Kobe is also extremely unhappy.

He and O'Neal were not separated for soy sauce. If the Lakers couldn't bring him a suitable teammate in this regard, he would definitely get angry. And since the Lakers sent O'Neal away, it was impossible to send Kobe away.

It is certain that they will find ways to strengthen. After all, the rich teams do big things, and the Lakers and Celtics are the same.

In fact, they have all asked about the situation of the sun, but the sun will not trade with them for the time being.

With Russell resting, the Suns also lost the next game, losing to the Clippers.

There is no doubt that the Clippers Twin Towers played well again.

The Clippers still signed Thomas as in the original history, but at a lower price.

For a player with a dark history like Thomas, not many teams are interested in him. The Clippers may feel that they have taken advantage of it now, but in fact that is the case. They will definitely not be able to do it this season.

Then the Suns beat the Kings, Supersonics and other teams, and the preseason ended without any surprise.

Everyone has not found that Russell has become stronger, but there is no doubt that the sun is strong.

Now the outside world is just discussing whether Stoudemire can recover and whether his maximum salary is worth it.
