NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 271 Iron-Blooded Wolf King
The Cavaliers still let James rest, what if there is no strength after no rest at all.

It doesn't matter if you lose, but don't fight for injuries. James seems to want to win too much, which is worrying.

Therefore, the Cavaliers let James rest for more than 1 minute in the final quarter.

There was no way to rest more, because the Cavaliers didn't score a point in almost 2 minutes, and James couldn't sit still.

In fact, the score has not left much, it has increased a little, and it has not yet reached double digits.

It's just that I don't know if it was a bit rushed to play, and James felt a little bad after going up.

At this time, Barbosa and Iguodala each hit a three-pointer, Russell was still watching the excitement off the court, and the Suns led by double digits.

After Russell played, the game has become very comfortable. He assisted Marion and Stoudemire, easily stabilized the team's advantage, and forced the Cavaliers to shoot consecutive three-pointers.

The Cavaliers also scored some three-pointers in the end. James, Larry Hughes and Marshall all made hits, but missed more.

At this time, the Suns guaranteed the hit rate and closed the game in one fell swoop.

James was a little frustrated after the game. He said: "They are playing in the way that suits them best. Judging from the current situation, they cannot be defeated."

"No matter how you defend, Russell can always find a way for the team to score. No matter what means you try to stop him, he can always find a weapon to deal with. He is a veritable source of offense for the Suns."

Facing the opponent's seemingly heartfelt approval, Russell was modest and said: "I don't think we are invincible. We still have a lot to improve."

"We are more concerned about the success of defending the title than improving the new winning streak. After the season is over, the most discussed topic will definitely be the championship."

The Suns have won 44 consecutive victories, and they have not lost more than half of the season.

When the outside world talked about this, they all thought it was a miracle.

And in January, it's almost over again, and the Suns have only one game left.

They ended their road trip in the East and came to the West, but they were still on the road, playing the Timberwolves back to back.

The Timberwolves have a poor record this season, and various rumors are everywhere.

Some things may not be groundless, but they just haven't happened for the time being.

At this time, the management still needs to do something to cover up. Their head coach Casey has been fired as a backer.

As the boss of the team, Garnett also stood up and said that he has no conflicts with the team, he will still be a Timberwolves, and he is confident to lead the Timberwolves to victory.

After the coaching change, the Timberwolves also temporarily recovered a little vitality.

Now that they are playing back-to-back away games against the Suns at home, the Timberwolves also plan to fight with all their strength. It will be completely different from the last time Garnett did not play and the team had no fighting spirit.

As long as Garnett gets excited, it will indeed have an impact on the Suns' offense.

On the defensive end, like Duncan, he is the only insider in the league who can better prevent the Suns from hitting the basket.

Garnett may be faster, Stoudemire will also be affected.

So no matter how strong the current Timberwolves are, they must make changes on the offensive end of the Suns.

In this game, there is something different, that is, Garnett feels explosive.

Garnett with a good touch can also enter the ranks of superstars by hitting consecutive mid-to-long distances.

The Suns still haven't flanked for the time being. Garnett is not an offensive type, and he doesn't have Duncan's low-post lethality.

In this case, the Suns also chose to fight against the Timberwolves.

Their main attack became outside, and Stoudemire became a cover at this point.

The Timberwolves have three backcourts, Mike James, Hassell and Ricky Davis, two of which are weak in defense, and the Timberwolves' defense this season has also suffered a lot, so Russell and Joe Johnson started to play again. up.

They are two super backcourts, and when they encounter opponents with poor defense, they never stretch.

So even if the Timberwolves performed well and Garnett scored in double figures in the first quarter, the Suns still slightly overwhelmed the opponent in scoring.

Compared to offense, the Suns must be professional.

The key is the back. With Garnett going crazy, it is not difficult for the Timberwolves' main force to bite the score, but when it comes to the rotation lineup, the difference between the two sides is too far.

Many teams lost to the Suns because the bench lineup scored too few points.

The Timberwolves' bench, that is, rookie Foye, may not be effective against the Suns.

On the Suns bench, even Barbosa, who is relatively weak, can't restrain them. Let alone Martin and Wallace, you must know that in the Suns' rotation, there is no chance for Ellis, who can score points, for the time being. .

Therefore, during the rotation period, the Suns expanded their lead in a few minutes.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves played the main force, and Ricky Davis hit two fairy balls, so they didn't collapse immediately.

But in the first half, the Suns still led by 10 points.

The previous Timberwolves are probably ready to surrender at this time.

But Garnett did not give up in this game. In fact, Garnett is also struggling in various ways at this stage, hoping to go to a strong team to win, and hoping that the Timberwolves can suddenly rise.

The latter idea may really only be thought about.

In the third quarter, Garnett went crazy, not just relying on his touch like the first half, he was still hitting the basket, and he really confronted.

Marion received 3 fouls in a short period of time and went straight down to rest.

If it is an ordinary team, it will definitely be difficult to get an All-Star defensive player.

But the Suns just let Wallace play calmly. He can defend just like Marion, and his body may be slightly stronger.

Garnett saw Wallace posting up to fight with great interest, and his heart suddenly became cold for a while.

It's useless to hit one more, even if there is another one, there are still people in the Suns lineup.

The point is, after a wave broke out, Garnett couldn't continue to fight and attack inside.

He really doesn't adapt to this. He defends better by relying on his long arms and mobility. On the offensive end, he actually relies on his long arms for jump shots.

Occasionally, you can forcibly bully the opponent player, but the consumption is also huge.

After Wallace came up, he couldn't play like that anymore.

But the effect is still there. Wallace's shooting is still slightly worse. If he can't rush in, the Suns will also weaken some threats on the offensive end. The Timberwolves still narrow the point difference to single digits.

And Garnett also got ruthless this time. He didn't rest after the game, and went straight to the Suns.

There must be a desire to win, but that's not all. Garnett did this to show his attitude, and he will do everything for the team.Facing the most powerful Suns in the league, and with a lot of attention, it is a good time to make a statement.
