NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 248 Bullying

On November 11, the Suns played at home against the Jazz who came to challenge.

The Jazz's poor record last season was largely due to injuries. Now Deron is growing rapidly, plus Boozer, Okur, Kirilenko and other players, and there are Fisher, Harprin and others on the bench. Strength is still possible.

Not to mention the top teams, but it's okay to make trouble in the West.

Anyway, the top three in the Western Conference have not changed much. The Suns, Spurs and Mavericks must be in the first gear. Other teams can still compete for No.4 if they work hard.

This Jazz start is not much different from last season, except that second-year student Miles started.

Who will partner with Deron in the backcourt? The Jazz still need to finalize this season.

In fact, the No. 14 pick Ronnie Brewer they chose is okay, but they still need to adapt.

This year's powerful rookies are those, not many, and the Jazz's choice is not too bad.

In fact, there are not many great rookies next year, but with big fish, it feels completely different.

At the beginning of the game, the sun's state was a bit average, mainly because Stoudemire seemed a little tired.

In this case, both Boozer and Okur played well, and the Jazz took the lead.

Russell also saw that the lack of offense was only a part of it. Stoudemire still has problems with defensive movement. When he was on the court, he didn't protect the inside well enough.

But Stoudemire is in a period of adaptation, and the team will not be too harsh.

It is still necessary to lose some advantages as soon as possible to help Stoudemire recover, so that the team will be stronger.

For an ordinary team, doing so may cause problems with the record, but the Suns have this capital.

Even if the team loses some points with Stoudemire, their rotation can recover.

The main thing is whether Stoudemire has really recovered, whether his psychological quality can survive the fluctuations in the adaptation period, and whether he can keep calm in the face of doubts.

To be honest, Stoudemire is still full of confidence in recovery, he is an ambitious player.

In other aspects, the team is also fully cooperating with him. With Russell as a player, there is really a lot less pressure.

The Suns' players are basically players that Russell is optimistic about, and he will naturally maintain them.

Stoudemire's condition is not good, but the sun still allows him to play enough time according to the plan, and it will not be too long to cause too much burden on the body.

After Wallace came up, the Suns began to chase points.

The Jazz's two big men on the inside can't actually help defend. In this regard, they mainly rely on Kirilenko, and the help defense on the front line is honestly not as deterrent as the inside line.

So the Suns couldn't stop scoring after the lineup rotation. Originally, they lost by double digits at most, but the Suns overtook the score halfway through the second quarter.

The Suns' offense is really quick and quick, and they don't pay much attention to three-pointers for the time being, and the relatively old-school Jazz thinking can't keep up.

They have not participated in the competition for two seasons, even if they have a good lineup this season, they still need to adapt.

After the Suns became stronger, the situation in the league has gradually changed. Many teams have not really confronted each other, and they don't actually understand to what extent.

In fact, the Jazz also had people on the bench. Fisher, Harprin and Kirisek all played well, but they were still stunned by the Sun's fierce offensive.

The whistle at the end of the first half saved them, otherwise the game would definitely be decided directly.

But the situation of Stoudemire is also questioned by the outside world.

"Stoudemire's injury may have recovered, but he may have become a mediocre player. This type of injury that depends on his body has too much impact. The sun's maximum salary may really be wasted. The key is …The Suns didn’t win a championship without him, why don’t they sign a real No. [-].”

"The small lineup of the Suns is really strong. Stoudemire has not adapted to this system. Even if he fully recovers, his defensive awareness is too poor."

In the Sun's locker room, Stoudemire was also dissatisfied with his performance.

As a proud person, he felt that it was embarrassing for him not to score points.

Russell didn't enlighten him either, this kind of player doesn't need enlightenment.Just give him a chance.

Others may have some ideas, but the team will win and that idea won't be a big deal.

Many teams have problems because they have no results, otherwise players with different ideas can play well together.

The Jazz are reviewing the team's defense. They hope that the defense can be more aggressive.

Although their defense is not that good, it must not be the worst one.

The team's defense is getting worse and worse, and Coach Sloan is still a little unhappy.

But there is no way, the player he fancy Boozer has no defensive awareness, and the little fat Deron is not a good defensive type.

So in the third quarter, they were still beaten.

Finally, the rotation lineup was replaced, and the situation improved, but it was not that the defense was better, but the offense was better.

Kirisek on the bench has a good three-pointer and can open up the offensive space.

So their head coach, Sloan, has no choice but to have a better offense, so let's counterattack.

The Jazz is a helpless choice, and the Suns are the king in this regard.

It may be a bit of a disadvantage when practicing Stoudemire, but other lineups can completely plug the hole.

In the second half, Barbosa and Martin both felt good as the Sun's substitute perimeter.

With the ups and downs of the score, the Suns still led steadily in the final quarter.

This situation is easy to handle, Russell hangs Deron again.

It's good to bully the little fat guy, Russell is no longer afraid of this kind of physical defender.

Because the opponent's footsteps are not too fast, he cannot stop his attack.

When there was no offense, Russell didn't like defenders who were too strong, but now it's completely the opposite.

Of course, don't worry if you just walk fast, Russell can still take it hard.

Unknowingly, Russell has become the biggest public enemy of No. [-], basically he is bullying others.

Deron was completely suppressed, which also made it difficult for the Jazz to organize any good offense in the last few minutes.

The Suns were still a small lineup at the last moment, which may not be the case this season, but this lineup is the safest until Stoudemire fully adapts.

Although the Jazz has two big men, they are unable to play against the Suns defense.

Marion and Wallace's inside partner, Okur and Boozer are not easy to play.

The main reason is that the Suns are shrinking. Iguodala will go over to help defend at any time, so be careful when getting the ball inside.

At this moment when scoring is needed, the Jazz realized that their offensive ability was really not good.

In 2 minutes, after Deron barely missed an outside shot, the Jazz had lost confidence and the game was won by the Suns again.
