NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 292 Normal Victory

During the intermission, Russell had a heated tactical discussion with the coaching staff.

Russell also participated in this kind of discussion before the start of the game, and many words hit the nail on the head.

Every time it comes to the playoffs, Russell will participate more in tactics. No matter what the coaches of the coaching staff think beforehand, it turns out afterwards that Russell's proposal is often correct.

D'Antoni lamented that Russell is a player who is very suitable to be a head coach.

It is said that superstars may not be suitable to be coaches, but Russell has no such problem at all.

Of course, everyone doesn't know that Russell often hits the nail on the head because he plays too much in the simulated arena.

During the regular season, he will not pay so much attention to a team. In the playoffs, he will definitely study the opponent carefully. Even if he did not have a deep understanding before, he will know everything after many simulation games.

Now the advantages and disadvantages of the Jazz have been engraved in Russell's mind.

On the field of play, he can not only make suggestions, but also command players to better attack and defend.

This is the reason why the Suns can easily lead their opponents now.

With no superstar opponents, Russell's move is really easier to deal with.

Superstars may break the rules, but the Jazz obviously don't have such players. The Suns' playoffs may be the easiest playoffs in Russell's career.

Playing again in the third quarter, both sides increased the intensity of the game.

On the Jazz side, the offensive end has become more decisive, and the defensive end has strengthened physical confrontation.

Although Jazz coach Sloan's methods are relatively old-fashioned, they have passed the test of time and are not useless.

If the sun is too relaxed, it may capsize in the gutter.

But Russell will definitely not let this happen, he is very concerned about the status of the Jazz.

How the opponent is going to play and what changes will happen, Russell has basically seen it in simulated games.

So as long as there are signs, Russell will remind his teammates to respond and eat the Jazz to death.

The Jazz went all out, but they couldn't catch up with the score, and they were more anxious.

Now they seem to be inseparable from the Suns, but they will soon enter the rotation period.

They are actually ready to play the main force, but the intensity of the game is so high, they always have to rest for a few minutes.

And as long as they go down to two strong points, the game will be overwhelmed at any time.

No kidding, it was like that in the first half and it happened again in the second half.

In fact, the Jazz's rotation lineup is also very stable, but the offensive end is slightly worse.

But even this problem is infinitely magnified when facing the sun.

Seeing that the Suns' lead had come to double digits, the Jazz quickly replaced the main force.

They don't play other tactics anymore, just Deron and Boozer pick and roll to see how strong the team feels.

Perhaps because of this, both of them performed well.

Deron and Boozer do have some tricks, but their weaknesses are more obvious, and the Jazz are not strong enough.

When the opponent started desperately, Russell also started the scoring mode without hesitation.

But it's not the kind of all-inclusive type. He uses the screen to play Deron, and will also see the opportunity to distribute the ball to Joe Johnson and the inside.

The difference from before is that he has increased his shots. As long as the Jazz's defense does not come up, he will pull up, and his shooting rate is very guaranteed.

"The gap is a bit big, Russell definitely didn't fully exert his strength."

"The Jazz's defense has really deteriorated. They can't be the opponent of the Suns."

"The Suns' playoffs this time are the same as the regular season. They have good luck. This round is stable."

In the middle of the last quarter, the Jazz became more and more anxious, and their three-pointers also increased.

The main players are Okur and Deron. The Jazz have other pitchers, but it is really difficult for a pure pitcher to find a shot in the face of the Suns' defense at the last moment.

Deron can only play with the ball, or Okuru can use his height advantage to make a shot.

It's a pity that Okur was also useless at the critical moment, missing both shots.

Deron hit a record, and now Deron is the Jazz's baby, and their head coach Sloan also thinks that it is worthwhile to spend a lot of money to select him.

There is no doubt that if the development continues, Deron will be the ace of the Jazz.

It's a pity that the upper limit of this trump card is approaching, and the Jazz cannot make a breakthrough relying on him alone.

At the critical moment, the Jazz couldn't make a three-pointer, and chasing points became a fantasy, because they couldn't guard against the sun.

With Joe Johnson hitting a three-pointer on a second pass from Russell, the game was over.

"A team needs teamwork at all times." Coach Sloan said seriously after the game. "At halftime, I told everyone that we have to learn to play. Stick together. If one person makes a mistake on the court, everyone else has to take the blame. This is a setback that a young team needs to go through, we have to stand together, we have to fight together, I don't see them doing that Yeah, they're all looking for excuses!"

But he also said afterwards: "A defeat can make you grow and become a better player, or you will be easily overwhelmed by your opponent. We will see how the players respond in the next game. .”

The head coach of the Jazz spoke very tough, but the players were still different. Deron said after the game: "This simply makes us helpless. It is difficult to overtake when the Suns are behind."

Fisher said: "I hope we can find our status in the next game and have a good start in the game."

As the victorious side, the sun's side had fewer words.

D'Antoni just said: "We can create good shooting opportunities, we can also grab offensive rebounds, we proved that we can do a lot of things."

Russell said to the reporter easily: "I think our performance today is good enough. As long as we can maintain this state, there will be no problems in the series."

The Suns have an obvious advantage in strength, but they are still meticulous in training.

A strong team has the demeanor of a strong team, and it also has a very serious chance. Russell will not allow players to relax before the playoffs are over.

"Guys, we're building a dynasty and we need to focus on that."

In the Suns training hall, there is a reminder of how many games they need to win for the three consecutive championships. Players will be refreshed when they see the number of games above.

Everyone is lucky to be part of a great team, so it takes a lot of sweat.

Two days later, Game [-] of the series began again on Suns territory.

The Jazz changed Fisher to the starting lineup, and they hoped that Fisher would bring more experience in the playoffs.

For the Suns, no matter who Deron's partner is, it will be the weak link of the Jazz's defense.
