The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 87 Waiting for you at last

Stoudemire played relatively restrained, scoring only 20 points and 9 rebounds.

Of course, he didn't deliberately let the water go, after all, he is a professional player, the main reason is that he doesn't need it, and the Suns were defeated before he exerted much force!
Raymond Felton is obviously much more sophisticated than Dragic. He sent 15 assists and completely revitalized the team. Seven Knicks scored in double figures.

Dragic scored 17 points and 5 assists, but the team lost 25 rebounds. He has been struggling in the abyss. He is also very helpless...

121:96
Sun's three-game losing streak!
On January 1, the Cavaliers struck.

The Cavaliers were ruthlessly abandoned by James this season, and they were so devastated. After burning out their jerseys, they went all the way to the No. [-] pick.

Dragic scored a career-high 14 assists, led the Suns to play a long-lost gorgeous offense, conquered the Cavaliers in one fell swoop, and ended the losing streak.

On January 1, the Suns met the Nuggets again and lost 11 points.

During the period when Tuman and Nash were absent at the same time, the Suns had an ultra-low record of 2 wins and 8 losses.

Currently 18 wins and 18 losses, the winning percentage is just over half.

The good news is that they have the same record as the Big Three's Heat, which is not a shame.

It's not terrible to bump into a shirt, it's embarrassing whoever is more expensive!
The current league record is the defending champion, the Los Angeles Lakers, with 29 wins and 8 losses.

The Boston Celtics ranked second with 27 wins and 10 losses, the Magic 26 wins and 12 losses, and the Mavericks 25 wins and 12 losses, catching up closely behind them.

The Heat are no longer the favorites to win the championship. The Big Three are burdened with huge pears. Of course, the Filipinos have even bigger pears. It is said that Pat Riley has sharpened his sword and is ready to resume his old career and pick up the coach!
The bad news is that the Suns have dropped to 11th in the West!
The top eight in the West are the Lakers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Thunder, Warriors and Jazz.

The ninth-ranked Hornets are 19 wins and 17 losses, and the tenth-ranked Grizzlies are also 18 wins and 18 losses, but they have a winning advantage against the Suns and are ranked ahead.

No.12的快船17胜18负，No.13的国王15胜21负，太阳要是继续沦落下去，很难突破这四支球队的围追堵截……

Fortunately, Tu Man is back!

On January 1, the Suns played against the Nets at home.

The Nets, who have sniped the championship several times, are no longer what they used to be. In the past few years, Kidd, Jefferson, Yi Jianlian, and Carter have been sent away.

There is only one "Little Pluto" Devin Harris and Brook Lopez among the stars that can be obtained now. The others are all reserved trading chips, and they don't even deserve to have names.

In May of this year, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov acquired 80% of the Nets' stock and 45% of the Nets' new arena.

As a straightforward and rough old man, he will never let the Nets just go with the flow, so once he takes over, he will start to clear the salary space, hoard chips, and prepare for a big fight at some point in the future!
This season, the Nets' total salary ranks 23rd in the league, almost on the luxury tax line, and it is clear that they are ready to fight for the lottery pick.

The current record is 10 wins and 27 losses, this persimmon is soft!

After 24 days, the eagerly awaited Suns fans finally saw Tu Man. He was still the first to play, and immediately detonated the audience!
The fans screamed frantically:

"Tu Man, we support you, go ahead..."

Tough guys always win respect, especially in this hot place in Arizona, a tough guy who challenges the bottom line of the league for the team leader is always worthy of tears...

Tu Man opened his arms, embracing the cheers that filled the sky.

This feeling is so good!
When Robin came on stage, Tu Man whispered in his ear:
"Hey, brother, go and talk to your brother. Stay away from me this time, I'm so overwhelmed, this time I have to fight against God, don't hurt him by mistake..."

Robin Lopez and Brooke Lopez are twin brothers who are the exact same size and look but are very recognizable.

Robin has an afro head and a beard like a halberd, but Brooke has a clean body, a fair face and no beard, and looks much younger than Robin!

Unexpectedly, Robin said nonchalantly:

"Dude, you're worrying too much! Brook won't go to the basket at all. He's a softie, and he doesn't defend. He can't wait to throw ten three-pointers every game. How could you hurt him by mistake?"

Tu Man smacks his lips, well, you plastic twins!

In fact, Robin was right.

The two brothers not only have very different styles, but also have very different understandings of basketball.

Robin is a tough guy. He does all the dirty work on the court, blocking, topping, rebounding, and defending, but his offensive skills are rough, and his ability to score independently is about zero.

Brook is the exact opposite. He has a solid scoring method at the basket, has a soft touch, and is accurate in the middle distance, but he hates physical confrontation, his defense is thin, and his rebounds are stretched...

Creator is really amazing!

He may be planning to create an all-round center forward with both offense and defense, but later he may think that it is too buggy, so he divides him into two, one for offense and one for defense...

Gentry is capable of things. He didn't let Robin play as a substitute. Instead, he teamed up with Tuman to start and continued to play the fifth position, allowing Tuman to play freely.

Lopez Derby!
Lopez with a beard defending Lopez without a beard?

The outside partners are Dragic, Richardson and Turkoglu.

The coach of the Nets is Avery Johnson, nicknamed "Little General". He became famous when he led the league's No. [-] Dallas Mavericks, but was hacked by Don Nelson's Golden State gangsters!
After being kicked out by the Mavericks, Avery Johnson has been accumulating for two years. He originally wanted to make a comeback in the Nets and let Cuban regret it, but the boss would not allow it!
His current task is to find a way to lose, and lose beautifully, without any traces. It must not be intentional, but the players are not strong...

It's so hard!

There are at least eight teams in the league that think this way.

No, if you don't pay attention, you won ten games, how can you be human?

Originally, he was still worried about the Phoenix Suns, which had been out of the sky during this period. If he won again, would the old man take out AK?
But seeing Tu Man, Avery Johnson let out a sigh of relief.

The great savior is finally waiting for you!
With a big hand:
Point Guard: Devin Harris
Shooting Guard: Stephen Graham
Small Forward: Travis Outlaw

Power Forward: Derrick Favors
Center: Brook Lopez

Although Derrick Favors is the No. 3 player this year, he is incomparable with Cousins, Wall, George, Monroe, Hayward, Bloodcloth, and Bradley. So far, he has only 4 points and [-] points. The appearance of the board is definitely water...

Tu Man played the fourth position this time, and Da Luo didn't defend him. It would be a nightmare for a rookie Derek Favors to defend him!
Avery Johnson is really generous. He was afraid of losing, and he even gave an ATM as a gift.

Didn't Tu Man want the wind to catch the wind, and the rain to catch the rain?
