NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 289 Good Schedule

"You study hard, the playoffs are a good opportunity to improve yourself." Russell said to the young people of the team.

Many people will leave next season, and young people will have a place to play. Russell hopes that they can take on the heavy responsibility at that time.

So in the previous games, when the outcome was decided, the team would also let the young people go up to feel the atmosphere.

Learning from the team's seniors, Russell has asked young players like this since the beginning of the season. The intensity of the playoffs is different. He reminded again that he hopes they can learn some practical experience.

There are some things that you can't learn until the playoffs, and they are all very valuable and a way to increase your status.

In fact, the Clippers have no hope of breaking through the first round of the playoffs, and their morale is not very high.

They just felt that the team was out of luck. Last season was a bit unlucky, and this season will be even more unlucky.

In fact, Russell felt that they were a bit lucky, otherwise they would not have made it to the playoffs this season.

Back at home, the Clippers made another change, not because they thought it would be good to change, but as a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

The Clippers' twin towers finally appeared in the starting lineup, which was once a threat to the Suns.

It's just that now, the Suns basically have no weaknesses. If they want to defeat them, they must rely on hard power, and some small changes in tactics are useless.

The home court of the Clippers is also the Staples Center. They were raised by their stepmothers, but the team also has some fans who hope they can win a game.

In fact, the Clippers got off to a good start again.

The twin towers still have some effect, especially when the physical strength is sufficient. After all, the sun does not have an orthodox insider.

It's just that the Suns' defense is also very smart and will not allow the Clippers to combine inside and outside.

The Clippers can score, and the interior defense is relatively strong, but it is also true that they cannot defend.

Russell and Joe Johnson are too strong, and the Clippers really have nothing to do.

In fact, Stoudemire was a little depressed. He always had to wait for the opponent's inside line to consume some of his strength before facing the Clippers.

"The Clippers' outside shooting is still a bit worse, and their tactics are too rigid."

"The main reason is that there is a difference in player ability. Russell and Joe Johnson are singles, and it is difficult for the Clippers to guard against."

"The offensive and defensive ends are so good, even in the history of the league, it is difficult to see a team like the Suns."

"Russell is so good, but the rookies selected by the Suns that year were all very good, vision and luck!"

The game began to become unbalanced from the rotation period. It's not that the rotation lineup is stronger than the main lineup. The main reason is that there is so much consumption ahead. Many players have to take a break at this time, but the Suns don't give them this opportunity.

Increase the strength little by little, but the opponent's resistance is getting weaker and weaker, and of course there will be problems.

So, the Suns once again gained the lead in the rotation.

Then the main force of the Suns will play again and stabilize the advantage, which can often be transformed into a victory.

The same is true of this game. The Clippers returned to the home court and played hard, and they were not able to persist until the end in the first half.

The fans of the Clippers at home are also a little dissatisfied. They are all playoff teams, and the performance of the Clippers is really not eye-catching enough.

Entering the halftime break, the Clippers' coaching staff was also sad, and they didn't know how to adjust.

Silky pass the ball and throw that damn basketball in!Everyone knows that the Clippers can't do it anyway.

In the third quarter, Maggette finally hit a few good shots.

But the current problem for the Clippers is that it is difficult for players to perform at the same time. This is completely different for the Suns. After all, if Russell plays well, he will definitely lead other players to perform well.

And even when Russell is resting, the Suns will not be divided on the offensive end.

D'Antoni still has a way of attacking. Under Russell's intentional or unintentional guidance, the advanced nature of the Suns' offensive end is really not comparable to other teams.

Since the Clippers are not as comprehensive as the Suns, after a few times of false ferocity, the Suns controlled the situation again.

They were not overwhelmed by the Suns' offense all of a sudden, but it felt like it was impossible to catch up with the score, and there was a taste of slow death.

They played well during this rotation period, after all, they are in better physical condition at home.

It's a pity that the score gap between the two sides has not narrowed. At the end of the quarter, Russell came up to control the situation, and the Clippers had no chance.

They tried three-point shots several times, but they couldn't hit them.

And the Clippers are the only ones who shoot three-pointers. Even if the situation reaches a critical moment, the others still don't shoot outside the three-point line.

If you don't shoot at this time, you definitely don't have that ability, and some outside players have no three-point ability at all. You can also have this awareness. The Clippers' basketball concept is still too backward.

It was actually an accident that they performed well last season, and their strength is only like this.

Therefore, the Suns won the match point in the away game and won another victory in the series.

Russell was also full of momentum after the game. He smiled and said, "This is the result of our hard work. This is the playoffs."

Joe Johnson is also very convinced of his backcourt partner. He said: "He can send assists as he wants, and he can really drive us."

On the Clippers side, Brand said helplessly: "We tried our best to find a way to freeze the sun, but it was difficult. They have many All-Stars, and we can only try to find a way to stop them."

The duel between the Suns and the Clippers is strong and weak, but no one will give up.

To enter the next round, the Suns must also win another game solidly.

Russell also said: "Our attitude is to try our best to win, and it has never changed. So I don't care about home games or away games, and I don't care about the series scores. We will go all out for every game."

It is relatively easy to win all three games, and the atmosphere in the Suns must be good now.

And this season, they don't need to fight against the Spurs and Mavericks in a row. They can watch them do one game first, which can be said to be flattering compared to the previous two.

The outside world can only lament the luck of the Suns. This season they are not only strong, but also encounter very few obstacles. Most people think that they will have no problem defending their title.

Of course, there are also a few people clamoring that the opponents they encountered in the playoffs are weak and will overturn in the end.

This is basically sensationalism, or a small probability bet, after all, there have been many times when big hits must die.

However, the dynasty teams are all hot to become the team that has the last laugh. The goal of the Suns this season is to become the dynasty team, and they must overcome this curse.

Therefore, Russell has been talking to other players to play well and relax after the game, but he must not be distracted during the game.
