Taciturn Andrei. On his first day reporting with the Nuggets, Miller earned a resounding new nickname:

Double-knife turkey!

Miller was speechless, I couldn't lift a knife, and I didn't look like a turkey.

Why did you get such a nickname!

It doesn't matter why it's anymore, anyway, the nickname Ryan gave him is very popular with his teammates.

That's what everyone calls him now.

However, Miller didn't bother to argue with anything.

After all, he has always been a taciturn man.

Not only is it taciturn off the field, but this guy is also extremely low-key on the court.

In the All-Star rookie game, he only used civilian layups to finish the empty baskets, which shows how simple he is.

When it comes to dunks, Miller can be called the reverse Curry.

One is not deductible but hard buckle, and the other is can be buckled but not hard.

Let's just say that nothing else matters to Miller other than victory.

It's all 2 points, what's the difference between a dunk and a layup?

Nickname? Then it doesn't matter.

So if your teammates like it......

The double-knife turkey is the double-knife turkey, and it doesn't affect the win anyway.

On the contrary, it can also improve the relationship between teammates, which is good for the record.

And...... The guy who gave Miller the nickname, Miller thinks it's quite an appetite!

From Miller's previous nickname "Little Fundamentals", it is not difficult to see what kind of player Miller is.

Like Duncan, he has a very unpretentious style of play.

In addition to his excellent back-to-back skills and a fat butt comparable to Kardashian's, Miller is essentially a traditional point guard with an unremarkable style of play.

He prefers to play with his brain more than his talent.

And Miller discovered that Ryan is actually a player who likes to play with his brain.

In last year's collegiate win over Dream Five, Miller was the starting point guard.

He knows very well that Ryan is not the kind of reckless man who only knows how to rely on his body, and Ryan's physical fitness is certainly top-notch, but what really makes him out of the encirclement is the no-ball movement and intelligent defensive options of a top classical quarterback.

Miller likes to work with players like that.

In fact, a large part of the reason why he chose to join the Nuggets was also because of Ryan.

Miller hasn't been a star player, but he's a player who really wants to win.

It's a pity that in the first four years of his career, he spent three years with the Cavaliers and one year with the Clippers.

I don't know how to write the word "win" in English.

After four years of losing, his desire to win was completely unsatisfied.

If a big man's desires are not satisfied for four years, can he stand it?

So, Miller came to Ryan to satisfy his desires!

Although the Nuggets were also a bad team before, they now have Ryan, and the lineup has almost changed.

You should be able to experience what it's like to win next season!

It was precisely because he recognized Ryan from the bottom of his heart that Miller also gladly accepted the nickname that Ryan gave him.

After the start of the training camp, the atmosphere in the team was still very good.

Ryan has a strong ability to integrate into the environment, and in just a few days, he has become familiar with his teammates.

Moreover, there is no bloody plot of "teammates look down on rookies and then be subdued by Ryan".

His teammates not only didn't look down on Ryan, but they all had special respect for him.

After all, Ryan's arrival has directly raised the attention of everyone in the team to a new level. Denver, a place where frozen birds don't poop in the cold, suddenly became hot.

The reporters who waited at the door of the training hall every day to interview and shoot broke through the threshold.

This gave the Nuggets players the feeling of playing in Los Angeles and New York.

Exposure means commercial value.

So you say, can the Nuggets players not like Ryan?

It's a fool to go against Ryan.

Not all of them are like Ricky. Davis is the best, thinking that the Cavaliers went to great lengths to choose a champion to assist him.

Everyone on the Nuggets knows exactly what Ryan means to Denver and the Nuggets, so it's all respectful to Ryan.

Nene: "What do you say?" Are you interested in the commercial value and popularity that Lane brings? No!

It's not that I've taken a fancy to Ryan's kindness, and I'm not impressed by Ryan's powerful personal charm! ”

With the traffic brought by Lane, everyone's popularity has soared wildly.

On the second day of training camp, the team's scheduled starting quarterback for next season, Walsh. Leonard was very excited to announce:

"Hey guys, I'm going to be interviewed by a foreign correspondent!"

The "foreign correspondent" in his mouth is naturally the CCTV reporter he is talking about.

Walsh. Leonard, as a second-round pick in '94, is definitely unknown in North America, although he is not well-known abroad.

But Lane's arrival gave him a feeling of becoming an international superstar.

This is normal, the stinky fish and rotten shrimp of the Rockets in the original history are not very popular in the hearts of Chinese fans.

Leonard was a man who knew about Entu, so he decided to ......

Introduced all the mysterious fruit supermarkets in Denver to Ryan, and thoughtfully marked the location and price on the map!

I didn't forget to tell Ryan righteously: "These are the greatest treasures of my life!" ”

Ryan is all served, can you be a little healthier?

In any case, the atmosphere is quite enjoyable.

Everyone respects Ryan and Ryan gets along well with his teammates.

Of course, it's not enough to have a good atmosphere.

If a team wants to have combat effectiveness, in addition to tacit understanding and atmosphere, it also needs the support of a rigorous tactical system.

While the reporters were still paying attention to Ryan, Kiki. Van der Werch has made another signing.

They poached Spurs assistant coach Mike. Budenholzer, who gave him the position of chief assistant coach.

Assisted by the team's head coach Jeff. Bouzdrick, in charge of the offense.

The current Nuggets head coach Bouzderrick is a very talented coach on the defensive end.

Harden's Rockets, who almost toppled the Cosmos back then, were one of the few teams in D'Antoni's team that had defense.

And that's all thanks to the tuning of Bouzdrick, who was the Rockets' defensive coach at the time.

However, Bouzdrick's offensive ability is not good, and Ryan's classic quarterback style of play needs enough exquisite positional offensive tactical support.

So, Van de Verky found Budenholzer as a positional attacking specialist.

Budenholzer, who later led the Hawks to the "Eastern Spurs" and the Bucks to the championship-winning head coach.

Although this gentleman will become a champion coach in the future, his on-the-spot command ability is extremely poor.

While everyone was laughing at Coach Lu for only calling a timeout to give Ajan a break, Budenholzer couldn't even call a timeout!

When the Bucks were hacked in '23, there were many critical moments when Budenholzer just sat there and watched, without calling a timeout.

The main thing is a sideline VIP seat, bowing your head and playing with your mobile phone.

When a player plays, what does it matter to my manager?

But I have to admit that Budenholzer is very good at drawing tactics.

He belongs to the kind of coach who has sparse on-the-spot command, but can arrange the tactics properly before the game and build a complete offensive system.

Especially team-based offensive tactics, which is his specialty. The Hawks were brought by him as the "Eastern Spurs" because the Hawks' style of play is as team-oriented and smooth as the Spurs.

Budenholzer and Bouzderrick are not top coaches, but together, the two will not have too many flaws on both ends of the floor.

When it came to the joint training stage, the team's offensive run-in was also smooth.

Ryan, Nene and Miller happen to be the backcourt, the front court and the center.

These three axes also have extremely high ball quotients.

These three axes are here, and you are two fools who know how to play.

And with a top point guard like Miller in control of the court, coupled with a smart blocking and pick-and-roll master like Nene, Ryan also feels that he wants to score very easily.

Defensively, head coach Bouzderrick built the system himself.

He looked at Ryan, who was 2.03 meters, and James, who was newly signed at 2.03 meters. Posey and Nene at 2.11m had a bold idea that they had always wanted to experiment but hadn't tried before.

This set of strikers is generally short, but it is more mobile than F1.

That trick...... Maybe, you can give it a try!

The two coaches began to make drastic changes to the Nuggets, who couldn't even make the playoffs last season.

Seeing how well Ryan and his teammates fit together in the offensive and defensive system, both coaches were ecstatic and confident about the new season.

In the preseason, the Nuggets had a 5-2 record.

Although they are playing against weak teams, and because they are still scouting players, everyone's playing time is sparsely chopped.

But the two coaches can see that the system they prepared is compatible with the team enough, and it is also good enough.

So, the confident Bouzderrick told the media directly in an interview before the start of the new season:

"Adjusting to the NBA? Ryan doesn't need to adapt, he's fully prepared and maybe he can score 25 points in the first game! Moreover, he is definitely capable of leading the team to victory on his debut! ”

In the previous summer league, owner Kroenke would also worry about Ryan's poor performance before the game.

But now, the head coach has no such worries at all.

He knows better than anyone what level Ryan is, and he will not doubt Ryan's ability at all!

With a player like Ryan, do I need to keep a low profile?

The media are shocked, is Bouzdrick so crazy?

25 points is not a low score in this era.

In the 03-04 season in the original history, Maddie was the only one in the league who averaged more than 25 points per game.

This shows how precious 25 points are in this era.

Reporters think that Bouzderrick is bragging, and Ryan is only averaging more than 10 points per game in the preseason. Although there is a factor of not playing much time in it, even if Ryan is given playing time, it is not easy to get 25.

Besides, the Nuggets' opponent in the opener......

But the Timberwolves with Garnett, a defensive beast!

Moreover, the Timberwolves are one of the favorites to win the championship in the new season after adding Kassel and Madman this summer!

Ryan is really strong, and if the Nuggets opener were playing a mid-tier team, everyone might not think Bouzderrick was too crazy.

But a defensive expert like Garnett and a Timberwolves who are the favorites to score 25 points?

Coach Bouzdrick, it's okay to lie to your buddy, don't lie to yourself!

Nike seized the opportunity to deliberately use media hype to amplify this incident and further increase the traffic of this incident.

For a while, the whole country was talking about "Ryan is going to score 25 points on Garnett's head in his debut".

Nike: This is not heating Ryan for no reason, but roasting Ryan on the stove!

As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and when the time comes, Ryan will not score 25 points, and his debut will be a complete failure!

The hotter this matter is, the worse Ryan will fall at that time!

Therefore, Nike would rather pay out of his own pocket to help Ryan hype. It's like Eason Chan knows that he can drive Chuangwubai when making movies, not only does he not need to be paid, but he also prepares his own truck!

In Nike's view, Ryan was 15 of 15 in the summer league, and it was Stoudemire's completely unaware waste that kept giving Ryan empty spots, and it was Jack Buson's kind of waste who couldn't defend at all.

But the Wolves, who can fill the entire half, will give Ryan a chance to shoot an open spot?

Ryan will be anti-autistic!

As long as Ryan rolls over, it can bring out James's strength!

The Wolf King was also extremely excited to see the whole world talking about Ryan's debut.

Ryan is a traffic aggregate, and as long as he abuses Ryan in the opening game, he can easily steal all the traffic!

This season, I made up my mind to overpower the other No. 21!

Ryan is now not an opponent in Garnett's eyes, but a big fat sheep sent into the wolf's mouth!

Although the wolf king asked Ryan to sign him before, after all, it was only a business behavior required by AND1, and it didn't mean that the wolf king liked Ryan much.

At this time, both Nike and the Wolf King thought that the Nuggets were giving away heads, and only Buzdrick knew......

Ryan's excellence has far exceeded people's expectations!

Allow you to underestimate Ryan, because none of you know that this team's offensive and defensive system matches Ryan's more!

At the time of Lane's controversy, Bouzdrick spoke again in a routine interview after media training:

"Crazy? I think I'm still too low-key!

When you can coach a player like Ryan, you're going to be crazier than me!

With such a good player, why should I be compromised? ”

To understand, Bouzdrick, who only became the head coach last season, has lost enough. After all, last season's Nuggets won less than 20 games in a season.

Seeing that the team has become stronger this season, he really doesn't want to be a grandson anymore, and he can't wait to raise his eyebrows!

Buzdrick is now like an upstart who has just received the demolition money, hoping to let the world know how rich he is now.

Ryan looked at the incomparably arrogant head coach and sighed.

Hey, your style of acting doesn't match my low-key personality.

Can you be a little more restrained like me?

When Ryan was interviewed by reporters, he was very low-key:

"Coach Bouzderrick has won an award, so I won't score too many points on my debut."

The reporters smiled, Ryan started to look for the stairs in advance? Hahahaha, he must hate Buzdrick's big mouth!

While the reporters were gloating, Ryan added:

"I'm not going to score too many points, definitely not more than 50."

After speaking, looking at the deflated expressions of the reporters, Ryan turned around and left with satisfaction.

Low profile?

With this strength, it's low-key!

The Timberwolves will indeed be difficult to deal with, but Ryan believes that as long as he plays everything he has practiced in training camp, as long as he plays all the tactics of Buzderrick and Budenholzer......

In the first game of the new season, let's take last season's double striker!

Timberwolves? It is indeed a strong team.

But you'll find out after the opener......

The Nuggets are also a strong team now, and there is no need to be afraid of any opponent at all!
