In 1997 Tim. Before Duncan, the top pick in the draft would hardly have gone to summer league.

It's not just the top picks, most lottery rookies have little interest in playing in summer league.

This kind of competition used to be a place for low-pick rookies and veterans to prove themselves.

But since Duncan started playing in Summer League, the tournament has been gaining traction.

By now, it has almost become a necessary path for rookies before entering the NBA.

Today is another milestone day for the NBA Summer League.

Because of the appearance of Ryan, the scale of the summer league was completely changed!

Although Duncan played summer league for the first time in '97, it set a precedent for champions to participate in summer league.

But summer league is still very niche, often only played in high school or college stadiums, with small live audiences and generally no live television.

But what about today? The Summer League is not only broadcast live across the country, but even more than 50 million people in China are watching it!

Summer league is no stranger to Chinese fans. Since 1996, the national team has participated in the summer league.

At that time, the most memorable game was probably the one in which the national team was abused by the Lakers' summer league team by 20 points.

A young man called Steak also made a name for himself in the Chinese basketball world.

Therefore, domestic fans are more familiar with the NBA Summer League.

Last year, Yao Ming did not play in the summer league because of the World Championships.

And this year, when Ryan played in the Summer League, Stern learned what a mysterious force from the East was.

He really didn't expect that just a summer league game, the number of people watching this game in China would have reached the level of 50 million!

Summer league is like this, if this Nima reaches the regular season, he can't take off directly?

In addition to China, Ryan's influence in North America is also significant.

Not to mention anything else, the Pepsi Center was full of 19,000 people today, which has already broken the record for the number of live fans in Summer League!

Because of the appearance of Ryan, the summer league has completely turned from a small warm-up game into a well-known hot event!

Ryan walked up to the stage cheering, his eyes fixed on Xiao Si.

But at this time, a huge figure walked out of the player's tunnel, attracting Ryan's attention.

There was also a huge cheer at the scene.

Ryan took a closer look and found that it was O'Neill!

This is probably the first time that a superstar has been in person to watch the Summer League in person!

After all, O'Neill is also the spokesperson of Reebok, so it makes sense for Reebok to let him cheer up the heat of this game.

After O'Neill entered, he walked straight to Ryan, who was already on the field, and hugged him:

"Hello, Ryan! I've heard that you're very powerful, so show your hand today!

Come on, if you play well, I will suggest to the management to exchange Kobe Bryant for you! ”

Ryan smiled bitterly, O'Neal deserves true love for Kobe, and he was thinking about replacing Kobe Bryant when he watched the summer league.

Seeing Ryan smiling bitterly, O'Neill patted his chest:

"What? Don't believe me? I'll tell you, my position with the Lakers is so high that management has to listen to me.

If Kobe Bryant is here, then I won't do it! When the time comes, Kobe Bryant must leave!

And you and my friend, you are the best person for us to trade! ”

What else can Ryan say? I could only nod vigorously: "Ah, Brother Shark is right!" ”

O'Neill returned to his position after greeting Ryan, and the reporter also carried the camera to interview with a scowling face:

"Shaq, did you come to see this game!?"

"Or else? Could it be that I came to see Charles. Barkley twisting his ass on the field? If there was such a show, then I would have to come! ”

"So Shaq, what do you think Ryan will do today?"

"When I played in the All-Star Game last year, a lot of people were saying that Ryan, who was crazy in the NCAA, could have been selected for this year's All-Star Game.

My reaction was: Oh my God, what do you say? Freshman players go straight to All-Star? I'm afraid it's not only players who haven't played in the NCAA who will blow like this. Oh, I said it's not Kobe, don't over-read it.

Curious, I watched all of Ryan's games in March Madness.

Then, I realized......

Damn, it's good that Ryan is playing in the NCAA, otherwise there would have been a poor guy who would have been squeezed out of the All-Star team!

So, you know what I mean? Ryan is already an All-Star caliber player!

You're asking me if an All-Star caliber player can play well in Summer League?

I don't have to answer such a stupid question! ”

O'Neal blows Ryan to the sky in front of the camera, and Shark is like that, he can blow affectionately and devotedly when he likes you.

But after falling out with you, you can also turn your face and deny people directly.

Originally, people's expectations for Ryan were very high, and the shark added fuel to the fire, which raised everyone's expectations to a new level.

Nike laughed numbly, and held it, and then held it.

The higher you hold it now, the more painful it will hurt later!

In Nike's experience, it's often difficult for rookies to put up too good a game in their first game of Summer League.

Today, Ryan is sure to flip a big car!

With both sides starting the game, Stoudemire was starting to get a little impatient.

On the scene today, everybody is talking about Ryan, Ryan, Ryan.

Sick of it!

I'm the best rookie in the hall, but here I seem to have become a little transparent!

Xiao Si can't wait to get back face as soon as possible and take revenge for last year's bucket runaway.

Xiao Si believes that he has been playing in the NBA for a year and is completely different.

I must let that young lion know that the jungle is truly terrible!

On the Suns' side, there are two newly drafted rookies and three sophomores in the starting lineup, namely:

This year's No. 28 pick Brazilian Lightning Barbossa, fourth-year forward Donnell Barbosa, who is trying to stay in the NBA. Harvey, a sophomore white forward Casey. Jack Buson, Rookie of the Year Smalls, and Polish center.

That's right, it's really the 2.18m center forward from Poland, the second-year player Cesari. Terebanski.

On the Nuggets' side, the starter was the undrafted Giulio . Harrington, '02 second-round pick Vincent. Yarborough, No. 1 Ryan, last year's No. 5 rookie Nick Rhodes. Skotishvili and last year's No. 7 show category.

The Nuggets' summer league roster seems okay at first glance, after all, there are three lottery players.

But in fact, Ryan and Nene have a bit of combat power.

What? You say that the fifth show, whose name is comparable to that of Brother Alphabet's Skotishvili?

He is the product of the Nuggets being defrauded.

D'Antoni once took this guy with him when he was coaching in Europe, and blew this guy to the sky.

And because D'Antoni was the head coach of the Nuggets before, the Nuggets management trusted the mustache so much that they didn't even send anyone to inspect Scotishvili, so they selected him at the No. 5 position.

As a result, this guy averaged 3.9 points per game last season, and his shooting rate was only 29.3% when he played inside......

That's right, the total shooting percentage for the season is only 29.3%, which is still an inside!

If you look at the history of the league as a whole, you'd be hard-pressed to find a player who has been more efficient than that.

You might say it's normal for a rookie player to be inefficient in his first year, but this guy has been inefficient throughout his career!

Scotishvili made a total of 626 shots in his entire NBA career, but missed 436 of them, and his career total shooting percentage was only 30%!

If his career can be longer, where will it be Kobe's turn to sit on the iron throne of the NBA.

Although he is 2.13 meters tall, he has no scoring ability on the inside.

The only way for this gentleman on the offensive end is to stand on the outside to catch a pass from a teammate, and then throw the ball out with his own arms. Regardless of whether he scores or not, as long as he can successfully throw the ball, it means that he has done his best to complete his task.

Being able to make mistakes and not be covered is the biggest help to the team.

So, while there are three lottery rookies on the surface, in reality one of them is not even as good as a draft loss.

Ryan's team is not easy to bring.

The two sides stood still, and Stoudemire smiled at Ryan, "Long time no see, bastard!" ”

"Have we met? I'm sorry, but there are so many players in my head who can't even score in double digits, I really can't remember who you are, forgive me. ”

That's right, that's right!

What Xiao Si experienced last summer was this feeling of making people's blood pressure soar but unable to do anything about it!

This familiar feeling made Xiao Si even more irritable.

The moment the game began, Xiao Si flew into the air with all his strength and fought the ball to Barbossa, a Brazilian lightning.

Barbossa just pressed the accelerator button and cleared Harrington.

The speed of the Brazilian lightning is not for nothing.

The Brazilian went inside, drew the defense, and smashed the ball straight to the rebound.

In the next second, the basket became "dark", Stoudemire flew into the restricted area, received the basketball that rebounded after smashing the board, and scored with both hands to dunk vigorously!

Whether on the football field, basketball court or fighting field, Brazilians are always artists on the tip of the knife.

They will never play a dull game, and as soon as they opened, Barbosa and Xiao Si played a five-ball level combination!

Ryan looked at Scottishvili, who was in charge of defending Xiaosi, and sighed.

This stupid Dabai, who has a shooting rate of less than 30%, just now only knows to stand under the basket and watch, and he doesn't even bother to stretch out his hand.

Just when you think his offense is bad enough, his defense can still surprise you!

This will be put aside for 20 years, and the draft template must be Mrs. Wang!

Attacking him, he can occasionally score one, but he really can't defend one!

After watching Xiao Si dunk and score, Skotishvili scratched his head embarrassedly: "Oops, I almost stopped it." ”

Ryan:......

Your reflex arc is longer than your name!

Ryan continues to defend Smalls as he did last year? Come on, whoever this Denver alphabet brother changes to, anyone can get a Jordan experience card.

He's on the court, and the Nuggets are playing four or five on the defensive end.

Today's situation is certainly impossible to prevent.

You can only attack against attack!

The Nuggets' offensive round, Julio. Harrington possessed the ball past halftime.

Ryan just ran back and tried to shake off his opponent Casey. Jack Buson found that the class actually took the initiative to cover without the ball.

Although the summer league is already a professional competition, the coach who leads the team basically does not arrange any tactics.

But this spontaneous off-ball block is very timely.

Although the class looks wild, it is actually very high.

After getting old, he went to the Rockets to play blocking and dismantling with Harden, and he still played well, and his awareness of blocking and dismantling was very strong.

So just now, even if there is no tactical set-up, he can help Ryan do an off-ball cover just right.

This name is sealed by the Chinese Internet, and searching for "class collection" in the short video APP can search for a lot of good things, which is by no means simple!

Originally, Jack Buson was very slow, and after being blocked by the class, Ryan directly got a big empty space in the middle distance!

Seeing this, Harrington immediately passed the ball to Ryan.

Summer League, the Suns don't have much sense of defense.

Ryan just caught the ball and shot easily, and careful people found that Ryan's shot action changed slightly, and the shot point was shorter, but the shot speed was much faster.

The basketball went into the net without any suspense, 2-2, and Ryan hit the first shot in the summer league!

Ryan pointed to the class to show his gratitude, and he was the only one in this group who could be reincarnated, and his ability and consciousness were different.

But Xiao Si is not nervous, just a mediocre mid-range shot, nothing.

After a defense, the class took the initiative to play against Xiao Si.

But Barbossa managed to get Harrington off with a pull-up jumper after a breakaway.

4 to 2, the on-site commentator couldn't help but shake his head: "Barbossa and Xiaosi are simply OK combinations in the summer league!" ”

But Xiao Si didn't have time to be happy for long, but he heard a "brush" again.

Ryan once again used his off-ball run to get rid of the white and slow Jack Buson, and scored a mid-range catch-and-shoot jumper in the bottom corner!

Xiao Si is all convinced, and Jack Buson puts this and Scotishvili on the other side!

Except for the difference in height, there really is no difference between the two of you!

It's all about shooting success is not guaranteed, and defense is guaranteed to be unsuccessful!

After a round, Ryan again easily got past a class off-ball screen to shake off Jack Buson and get a chance in the mid-range.

This time, even Xiao Si, who doesn't like to defend, couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to pounce out to help defend.

Seeing this, Ryan struck the ground and passed it to the class that immediately went down. Although Ryan's passing attributes are not high, this simple ball can still be passed.

After receiving the ball, the Brazilian went inside and directly attacked the Polish center forward with 2.18 meters.

Although the confrontation is fierce, let's not forget that he is also Brazilian, and his hand work when he goes to the basket is very delicate and his finishing ability is extremely strong.

Therefore, although it is a small and broad strong game, although the confrontation is very fierce, the class still uses its delicate hand work to successfully score the ball!

6 to 4!

Xiao Si is very embarrassed, in order to help his teammates make up for his own position, the media must not say that I am not good at defense?

Ryan and the class became more and more tacit, his eyes became more and more ambiguous, and the green grassland above Harris's head grew longer and longer.

Angua: Heh, I've been scum by Ryan a long time ago!

Wade: Heh, what is it like me to be abandoned after a bubble?

Xiao Si knew that this was not the way to go, and after a year in the NBA, he began to use trash talk to try to provoke Ryan to rush inside:

"Ryan, what's the joke? Floating outside casting? This is the most high-profile champion in history?

Come on! Rush at me head-on! Can you fight like a man? ”

But this kind of pediatric agitation method is useless for a social old fritter like Ryan.

Lane instead gave Xiao Si a sentence: "Come on, win you, Lao Tzu doesn't need to enter the three-second zone at all!" ”

"Ah......h I don't know how to reply to this sentence, you say it again! ”

Xiao Si is simply enough, every time he sprays with Ryan, he will be sprayed speechless!

Hit me without going into the three-second zone? Okay, I'd like to see how accurate you can cast today!

Isn't it just a few mediocre vacant shots? Okay, Lao Tzu, see how you can win if you don't enter the three-second zone!

Xiao Si knows that Ryan has a certain mid-range shooting ability now, but the scoring mainly depends on attacking the frame.

He really doesn't believe you can kill the game by shooting!

Can be ...... after a few rounds

"Ryan, without the ball to the right side of the mid-range, unguarded, caught the ball and threw ......

And also! God, it's 6 out of 6!

Ryan's mid-range shot is so stable, it's a shooting machine!

Ryan started with 6 of 6 shots and has already scored 12 points on 100 percent shooting!

As soon as he gets his chance in the middle distance, it won't be a surprise! ”

At this time, the Denver fans on the scene were also crazy.

Their champions did not disappoint!

Although Ryan basically shot in a big open position today, it is not easy to shoot 6 in a big open position in a serious game!

When a mediocre mid-range shot hits 100% of the shots, it's no longer unremarkable!

Ryan's mid-range shooting attribute is not high, only 70. Coupled with the hot spot bonus of catch-and-shoot shots, it's only 75.

Even if it is a pure vacancy, this attribute cannot guarantee that it is so stable.

But don't forget, Ryan's talent fragment of "Opportunist" that he drew earlier can greatly improve the stability of shooting in open positions!

Therefore, Ryan's mid-shot today is ridiculously accurate!

And Jerry. West's shooting pack's shooting speed bonus allows Ryan to stop giving the opponent a chance to interfere once he gets an open spot.

During this time, Ryan has been practicing this shooting move, and his proficiency is already very high, and he can fully exert all the bonuses.

In addition, Ryan himself feels very good today, so it is not unusual to have 6 out of 6.

Today, the talent fragments and action packs obtained from the draft rewards all made Ryan call it really good! His grasp of the middle distance has undoubtedly increased a lot!

Of course, there is also a special praise for the Suns' No. 3 Jack Buson and Xiao Si.

From the beginning to the present, Jack Buson was stunned that he didn't follow Ryan even once, allowing Ryan to easily get 6 vacant opportunities!

In order to prevent his direct counterpoint from scoring, Xiao Si also chose not to help defend Ryan, and watched Ryan shoot easily again and again.

Denver fans really cried to death, the first time they saw a beating and they were so cooperative.

The Suns' sparse defense and Ryan's solid open jump shot are a match made in heaven.

After Ryan made 6 of 6 shots in a wave, the Suns called a timeout.

Xiao Si people are stupid, why don't you kid really not enter the three-second zone!?

Scouts and fans also swallowed, how long has it been since March Madness?

How could Ryan's shooting improve so far?

At this rate of growth, Ryan will become a superstar without any suspense!

Reebok's wave of 120 million is simply a lot of money, okay!

O'Neal also drooled over it, he was tormented by Kobe's indiscriminate shots and crazy iron, and he was really moved to see Ryan playing so reasonably and efficiently.

Not to mention, the Palace Lakers must be forced to trade Ryan with Kobe.

If Ryan doesn't come, then I won't do it!

Ryan made 6 of 6 in this wave to meet the fans' expectations of him.

Of course, fans and commentators are also discussing when Ryan will miss the first goal of the day. After all, this kind of hit rate is impossible to maintain forever.

Xiao Si is also waiting, and when Ryan's shooting starts to fluctuate, it will be the day when the team will turn over!

After all, there is such a thing as shooting, no matter how big the vacancy is, there will always be a time when the shot is missed.

He can't be so accurate all the time!

No matter how amazing Ryan is, he can't not lose a single shot in the whole game, right?

Should...... Unlikely, right?
