NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 278

The All-Star weekend is just an interlude in the entire regular season, because Russell has not participated in so many projects, Russell has really recovered a lot of energy these days.

The same goes for everyone else, especially the players who didn't come to Las Vegas to join in the fun, and they all took a good rest.

After the All-Star weekend, it came to late February. The Suns' schedule is still relatively tight at this stage. Not to mention back-to-back, there is only one home game in a few games.

After Russell returned to Phoenix, he said goodbye to Nora and followed the team directly to Los Angeles.

Nora is also going to Los Angeles, but the time between the two is still a bit different. They just got tired of it for a few days, so there is no need to continue to squeeze together.

After coming to Los Angeles, the team only did simple training, mainly to give the players a feel for the game.

Although there have been no games for a few days, the regular season has been going on for a long time, and it is relatively easy for players to recover.

Their opponent is the Clippers. The Clippers are not in the top eight in the Western Conference, and the team is a little confused.

They were still ambitious last summer and felt that they had the opportunity to go further in the new season, but the reality was cruel.

It can only be said that they were dark horses last season, and most dark horse teams will be beaten back to their original form in the new season.

In this game, they also hope that the Suns can continue their losing streak to boost the team's confidence.

The Clippers have no intention of giving up this season at all, because the current situation does not match the team's expectations, and neither the management nor the head coach Dunleavy can let it go.

This is also a personal choice. After the All-Star Weekend, there will be more and more teams that are bad, but there are also many teams that will not be bad.

It's just that the Clippers with ideas were hammered by the Suns in the first quarter.

Russell, Stoudemire and Marion are all in good condition, the Clippers can't defend at all, and they only have Brand playing, and everyone else can't break through the Suns' defense.

This is the reality. It is not enough to have ideas, but also to have enough strength to match.

During the rotation period, the Clippers couldn't stand it even more. The rested Sun was like a wolf like a tiger, and it was time to clock in and get off work in three quarters.

After the game, the media also said that the invincible Sun is back.

It's just that Russell played so well, it's hard to tell what the quality of the others is like now.

The next day, the Sun returned to the home court and ushered in the Celtics who came to challenge.

The Celtics are still developing young players, and older players simply can't play.

Their indiscriminate training must be for trading. It is really for training young people to use for themselves, and they will use veterans to lead them to fight well.

Facing a group of young people, the Sun Five Tigers once again had the advantage at the beginning, and did not give the youngsters any chance.

Both offense and defense are top teams, and the possibility of overturning is really low.

Pierce and Jefferson broke out in a small wave in the third quarter, which didn't let the game end in the third quarter, but the Suns still won the back-to-back relatively steadily.

Pierce was also very helpless, and admitted after the game that the team lacked competitiveness this season.

If the Celtics don't strengthen, they may send Pierce away for reconstruction. Who is an All-Star player willing to endure a long-term loss.

Back to back only adjusted for one day, and the Suns went away again.

The rest of their games in February are away games, and it is not easy to run around in the east and west.

On February 2, they met the Timberwolves again.

The current record of the Timberwolves has not improved, and they are a bit self-defeating.

The Timberwolves are more used to playing poorly, and they will not be embarrassed.

Garnett has the experience of last time, and this time he is more excited, and he is more active when he comes up, and he doesn't support much but just attacks by himself, very imposing.

The Timberwolves played well in the first quarter, and Randy Foye has also improved now.

It's just that they didn't hold up during the rotation period, allowing the Suns to gain the lead.

Next, Garnett didn't have the same feeling as before when he played again, and the Suns' lead suddenly expanded to double digits.

Facts have proved that Garnette may have good offensive ability, but he is best at defense.

On the offensive end, he may occasionally explode a few games, but the hope of killing people with his offense is still relatively slim.

As a result, the Suns clocked in and got off work in almost three quarters. The more difficult schedule did not seem to be difficult for the Suns, and a strong team is a strong team.

Then the Suns went to the East to play away games. Of course, the Timberwolves were relatively close to the East, and the Suns also went all the way east.

The sun went to the east to meet the eagle again, this time the eagle was not as chic as last time.

With Russell's help, Stoudemire blasted the Eagles inside in the first quarter.

In fact, Nash's performance is still remarkable, especially in passing.

But the biggest difference between Nash and Russell now is the lack of scoring ability. When his teammates can't hit well, Nash often has nothing to do.

This is also the reason why the Eagles' young players are growing, but their performance has been stagnant.

After being beaten by the Suns in the first quarter, the Eagles never recovered.

Stoudemire performed very well this time, scoring 40+10 and still had a few blocks.

Now Stoudemire's performance is getting better and better, even better than before. After all, he has improved significantly in rebounding and blocking shots.

Maybe during the break, he still thought a lot, and now he comes back to play basketball more intelligently.

The previous thought that the Suns took Stoudemire with the maximum salary was a misjudgment, and the statement that the Suns had the foresight, knowing that Stoudemire would recover, and there is still love.

There is no doubt that the media is just a wall, so don't pay too much attention to the voices of the outside world.

When you perform well, most voices from the outside world will praise you, even exaggerated praise, but when you perform poorly, your breath is wrong, and there will not be many people to support you. Russell is very thorough about these.

After winning the Eagles, they have won four consecutive victories. It is really not difficult for them to win.

Nash is also more envious of the Suns, and Nash is also more determined about the future direction of the team.

It's a pity that even if the offense has learned something, the Suns' defense is too difficult to learn. It is actually difficult for Nash to develop greatly in the Hawks if there is no accident.

At the end of February, the Suns played back-to-back away games, and the first thing they had to face was the Pacers.

The Pacers have a poor record this season, and the team has also traded and plans to rebuild.

Jermaine O'Neal is still an All-Star, but after being injured, his threat in the interior has gradually declined. The Pacers must consider the future.

Although the team did not directly attack Jermaine O'Neal, the team's second and third points were sent out. They and the Warriors each got what they needed. The Warriors need stronger immediate combat power, while the Pacers are preparing to train new players up.

For example, Danny Granger, now the Pacers are very optimistic about this young striker.
