Ryan, the third black eight in history.

But it is also the first time in history that a rookie led the team to complete the Black Eight.

The start of Ryan's career has been explosive enough.

People thought that the blackout of the West in the rookie season would be the end of this legendary rookie season.

But no one could have imagined that the Nuggets would stand on the stage of the Western Conference Finals!

In the Western Conference semifinals, the tenacious Nuggets met the gorgeous Kings in a narrow way.

Adelman's flashy Princeton struggled on the offensive end with the Nuggets' infinite switching.

Ryan, whether against Webb or Peja, didn't suffer at all on the defensive end.

In the entire series, Webb only had one hard game in G4. The king of the best of 21 shooting 13-of-21 for 28 points on 61.9 percent shooting.

But this game is not an honor for Webber, at best it can be regarded as a fig leaf for him.

Because except for this one, all the others are car accident scenes!

G1, Ryan and Posey's tacit switch of defenses allowed Webb and Peja to shoot 37.5% and 33.3% of rollover shots, respectively.

G2, Webb 17 in 7 were continued to be suppressed by Ryan. No matter how gorgeous your pass is, how tricky your running position is, we won't suffer by changing the defense to make you play the wrong position!

G3's Webb was 6-of-16 and shot just 37.5 percent from the field.

G5 Webb continued to fall below the lower limit, shooting 31.3% from the field 5-of-16. G6 shooting percentage was finally back, but production was limited, with only 14 points on 7-of-11 shooting.

Kings fans shook their heads when they saw it, why don't you say that basketball is a good sport? Because it is suitable for all men, women and children, even those who can't get tough like Lao Wei Touer can go to the NBA and shoot two!

Don't be surprised, Webb in the playoffs is notoriously off the chain. During his Kings career, Webb shot just 49 percent from the playoffs. For comparison, Duncan's playoff true shooting percentage in those years was 56 percent.

What? Is it unfair to compare a man like Duncan who plays as a center but pretends to be a power forward to Webb?

That Garnett's true shooting percentage in the playoffs over the years has also been 52%!

You must know that Garnett's offense is the master who has been criticized in the playoffs, which shows what level Webb's offense is in the playoffs.

Many people may not believe it, but Webber has only 4 times in a single 30+ game in his entire career in the playoffs, and Garnett has 9 times.

Duncan? Four times at 40+ alone, and Duncan, who has a cute smile, is still the kind of player who doesn't focus on getting high scores.

Webb's style of play is so floaty that he prefers to shoot from the perimeter to hard.

No way, Weber's style is like this.

The King's Webber is already a Weber after a reform, and that Webber in the 90s was a big striker. Otherwise, how do you think his flashy passing skills came from?

Although there are occasional violent smashing buckles behind the back turn, there are occasional Olajuwon's possessed inside steps.

But a short-lived highlight can't hold up a seven-game series.

Coupled with the fact that Webber just suffered a torn meniscus last season, he has been particularly inefficient in this year's playoffs.

However, even though Webber was defended so badly, the Kings still battled the Nuggets to Game 7.

There is no other reason, and there are not many people on the Nuggets side who can score!

James. Posey's round lacks the magic of the first round, and the power of the duo with Ryan is greatly reduced.

Posey has some scoring ability, but his career-high season is 13.4 points. It's obviously unrealistic for you to treat him as a second person.

The Twin Blades Turkey was Ryan's biggest helper on the offensive end this round, but he wasn't much of a top scorer either.

Not to mention the others, who are basically averaging single digits per game in this level of competition.

Both the Kings and the Nuggets have an advantage, with the Kings having the advantage of not scoring as a single individual and Webb being limited to averaging just 17 points per game.

But five players averaged double-doubles in points per game!

Because there are so many people who can score, even if Webb plays so badly, the Kings can still win some games!

On the Nuggets side, it's the opposite, with single players scoring high, and Ryan averaging 23.8 points per game in six games, 30+ at a time.

The Double Knife Turkey averaged 19.1 points per game and Posey averaged 12.1 points per game.

But beyond that, there is no third player who averages a double-double in points per game.

This round can be regarded as letting fans see the upper limit of the Nuggets' current lineup.

can win the Timberwolves, mainly relying on defense, Ryan's defense is equivalent to directly abolishing the madman's point, so that Garnett is playing with the Nuggets with a broken arm.

But in the face of Princeton's corpolist king, it is not so easy to strangle a little, or just strangle a little is useless for the king.

The long tug-of-war led to the Nuggets' own average scoring ability weaknesses exposed.

Therefore, the Kings are more difficult to deal with for the Nuggets than the Timberwolves, the No. 1 in the West.

The gap between the top eight in the West this season is very small, and because of problems such as the style of play, it is very likely that there will be a situation where you can play first but not fourth.

In this way, Ryan experienced the first tie-break of his career in his rookie season!

It's no exaggeration to say that on the night of the tie-break, Ryan was more nervous than the night he first lay in Theron's bed!

However, just like the G6 who played the Timberwolves before, the moment he got on the court, Ryan was immediately not nervous.

Today, Webb is still tormented by Ryan Posey's infinite change of defense.

He didn't dare to shoot lightly at all, and even shot 0 of 3 from the free throw line because he was too nervous!

Webb's mentality is also the key reason that has always limited him from going further.

On the other hand, Ryan is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is very successful in throwing and cutting inside.

In this round, Ryan cut into the frame a little more. After all, the Kings' interior defense isn't as tough as the Timberwolves.

One has been floating outside to throw, but the other has the opportunity to kill inside.

Ryan and Webb are in stark contrast.

In the end, Ryan scored 27 points in the tie-break, while Webb only had 15.

The Nuggets also won the Kings 84-78 and miraculously reached the Western Conference Finals!

A rookie who led the team to the Western Conference Finals.

This is something that even the full-fledged Duncan failed to do in his rookie season!

Stan. Kroenke was laughing like crazy, he didn't expect that he would continue to sell tickets after playing so far this season!

Ryan snatched seven of the kings, which really gave the basketball world a small shock.

I thought that Black Eight was already the limit, but who knew that the king was also promoted by him!

Garnett cried directly in Kassel's arms, and Lao Tzu couldn't pass the first round after fighting for eight years.

As a result, Ryan enjoyed the Western Conference Finals in his first year!

Garnett has the heart to retire!

The gap between people and people is sometimes really bigger than the gap between wolves and aliens!

Some people get tired of eating fruits, and some people have never entered a fruit store in their lives!

Previously, Wade also entered the second round with the Heat, and many media were comparing Ryan and Wade.

But now, when Wade was also eliminated, and Ryan grabbed seven to advance, all the comparisons were meaningless!

There are only two players left in the '03 draft who are still alive in the playoffs, and that is Ryan and Milicic!

It is worthy of being the champion and the leader!

And after winning the tie-break, Ryan also set another record.

In the NBA's official announcement of the Defensive Team of the Year, Ryan's name was prominently listed!

The youngest player in NBA history to make the All-Defensive First Team!

It's hard to imagine a player who made it to the NBA's best defensive team at the age of 19!

Under normal circumstances, when a rookie enters the league, the easiest thing to show is his passing or scoring ability.

Defenses typically take several seasons to hone.

As talented as Garnett, he only made the All-Defensive Team in his fifth year in the industry, a year after he entered the All-Defensive Team.

As strong as Jordan, he was also selected for the first time in the fourth year of his career.

But Ryan, even though he is only 19 years old, there is absolutely no star in the league who wants to play against him!

A day later, Ryan was in the best three, also the youngest player in history!

This time, the record doesn't need to be customized, Ryan has it directly!

Ryan mainly suffered a little bit in the record, otherwise he would have squeezed Peja out of the second line!

Of course, Ryan didn't just care about winning the prize himself.

As a selfless person, Ryan also helped Garnett break a record by the way - the first MVP in history to encounter the Black Eight!

This is not the same as MVP, but the gold content of the first round, after all, it is as strong as Abdul-Jabbar, Moses. Ma Long and other legends have also had the experience of winning the MVP but playing in one round.

Moses. Malone was even voted MVP twice and only made the first round of the playoffs, and his position in this regard is unshakable.

And Garnett, as the MVP of the season, not only did he not pass the first round, but Nima was blackened!

All at once with Moses. Marlon opened the gap!

This is the beginning of becoming a legend!

Chinese fans ridiculed that Garnett's historical status has been high, and he has to knock two to Ryan!

Garnett really cried miserably, because of this, he was called "the most watery MVP in history" by the media.

The nickname "soft egg" also spread.

Far from being Garnett's honor, this MVP has become a disgrace!

And Ryan's victory over the season's MVP added to the fire.

At this point, Ryan's rookie season has been completely superb.

In his rookie season, he was selected to both the All-Defensive Team and the All-Defensive Team, and the All-Defensive Team was still in the first place! Then, defeat the MVP and make it to the Western Conference finals!

The next day, Sports Illustrated chose Ryan again as the cover, and the headline was directly four letters: GOAT!?

Everyone has been waiting for Jordan's successor for so long, only to find that Ryan seems to be the closest person!

Duncan, although he was also strong in his rookie season, was an inside line after all.

Only Ryan has the potential to become the Jordan of this era!

The whole world is crazy to praise Ryan, and Barkley bluntly says: "A Jordan-like ruler has appeared!" ”

Philip. Sanders still admires Ryan very much: "Someone else has just entered the league at the age of 22, and he may have won the NBA championship at the age of 22." ”

Bird, the king of beeps, also made a rare opinion: "I dare to say that before the age of 25, Lane's style was second only to me in NBA history!" Well, a draw at most! ”

Even Jordan himself was chased by reporters to make him evaluate Ryan.

Jordan, who had just come out of the golf course, had to take off his sunglasses during the siege of reporters:

"Ryan? Yes, I've always heard of him lately.

Friends around him, the news on TV, and the newspaper in his hand, are all talking about Ryan.

He's almost the hottest figure in basketball right now, right?

I have to say that Lane's achievements in his rookie season were truly remarkable.

If he stays healthy, he can become one of the best players in NBA history. ”

The reporters were obviously dissatisfied with this overly official answer, so they continued to ask: "Do you think he can surpass you?" ”

Faced with this question, Jordan smiled slightly:

"How so? He still lacks a point.

A little bit of something that makes him stronger. ”

"You're saying Ryan is missing All-Star caliber teammates?"

Jordan waved his hand and smiled vaguely: "No, what it is, Ryan will know when the time comes." ”

With that, Jordan put on his sunglasses again and sat in the Ferrari given by the manufacturer.

He's got to go on a date with a Cuban model.

The reporters watched speechlessly as the red Ferrari walked away, damn, when did Jordan learn to be a riddler?

Anyone who speaks halfway or writes out of chapter should go to court!

What makes Ryan stronger? Not a teammate yet?

Don't say you're missing a three-point tournament history!

That thing, in 50 years, no one will be able to break it!

But overall, Jordan's evaluation of Ryan is also very positive.

This wave was collectively touted by celebrities and coaches, which can be regarded as making Ryan's popularity reach a climax.

But Ryan's miracle road this season ended here.

Ryan took out a No. 21 in the playoffs and couldn't get past another No. 21.

In the Western Conference finals, against the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, the stubborn Denver Shakhtars finally failed to change their fate.

That's right, it's not the Lakers who entered the Western Conference Finals in this history, it's the Spurs!

They eliminated the Lakers F4 with a total score of 4-2 in the Western Conference semifinals and successfully reached the Western Conference Finals!

In history, Duncan has never been able to defend his title in his entire career.

This also has the legend that Spurs are "invincible in odd-numbered years".

But in reality, Spurs are not without a chance to defend their title.

And the reason why the title defense failed in 2004 mainly starts from that 0.4 seconds.

In the Western Conference semifinals of the Lakers vs Spurs in the original history, the Spurs led 2-0 at the beginning.

But in the end, he was stunned by the Lakers for four games in a row!

The G3 Lakers played a suffocating defense in the backwater, allowing Duncan to be directly prevented in the game, scoring only 2 points in the first half, only 10 points and 13 rebounds on 4-of-14 shooting, and 6 turnovers in the game, which was one of the few games in which Duncan pulled his hips.

On the day of G4, Kobe Bryant went to Eagle County from Los Angeles at 3 o'clock in the morning to participate in the hearing, so the rush law came into effect, and he scored 42 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 0 turnovers that night to lead the Lakers to equalize the total score.

But neither of these games was the worst of the worst, the most terrible was the last 0.4 seconds of G5 Tennoyama, and Fisher scored the goal that allowed him to blow for the rest of his life.

Prior to that shot, Duncan had actually hit a difficult shot, and the Spurs felt like the match point was secure.

But who would have thought that the last 0.4 seconds were actually counter-killed by Lao Yu, it is not difficult to imagine how serious the defeat was to the morale of the Spurs.

The victory in hand was snatched away, and the situation of leading 2-0 was won by the opponent three times in a row, allowing the opponent to take the lead in getting the match point.

The whole team mentality of the Spurs collapsed.

On the Lakers' side, because they won three games in a row, their morale was very high.

So G6, the morale-barred Spurs were killed by the red-eyed Lakers, and finally lost by 18 points, missing the opportunity to defend the title.

But in this history, the very fortuitous event of 0.4 second lore did not appear.

That game didn't even have Duncan's quasi-shut-out shot, because the Spurs won the Lakers by 5 points at the most, and they didn't hit the shut-out moment at all.

The Spurs after Tianwangshan finally recovered their decline are completely different from the Spurs who have lost three games in a row.

And because the Lakers lost Tianwang Mountain, O'Neal publicly bombarded Kobe Bryant for being too selfish in the last quarter, which made F4's already poor locker room atmosphere collapse early.

Just like that, the G6 Spurs defeated the Lakers 84-76 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!

In the past few years, the strength of the Spurs and the Lakers has been between them, and it is actually normal for anyone to win.

In '03, Hawley lost his crosshairs, and the Spurs went 4-2. In '04, Fisher scored a stunner, and the Lakers made it 4:2.

For a team of this calibre, it could be just one or two goals or two that could change the outcome of a series.

And in this history, Spurs have not been unlucky.

In this way, the Spurs made it to the Western Conference finals and met with the Nuggets.

Ryan has been devastated by three consecutive rounds of encountering top power forwards.

And Ryan has only met 2 players in the West this season, and I really envy those players who have met 3 opponents in the East in more than ten years.

That can't be helped, a group of players in the east are around me.

This time against the Spurs, the Nuggets' ceiling has really arrived.

Duncan is different from Garnett and Webb.

He took the ball and really hit it inside.

And what the Nuggets are most afraid of inside defense is this kind of big man who fixes the sea god needle.

So in the Western Finals G1, Duncan slashed 30 points and 11 rebounds in 13 of 18!

The Nuggets also experienced the desperation when one of the opposing players shot above 70%!

Ryan, on the other hand, was limited to just 17 points because the Spurs' defense was also Klein.

It's not that the Spurs can interfere with Ryan's shooting rate, it's that Ryan can't catch the ball at all!

The Spurs don't use Bowen to defend Ryan, but use Bowen to defend Miller, who is responsible for holding the ball!

The Spurs' defensive strategy has always been to block the middle and put the edge, forcing the ball carrier to go to a narrow field of vision, and then immediately flank it.

As a result, the ball carrier can either shoot against the defense before the pinch hits, or pass wide.

There's no easy way to organize.

Bowen is the first defensive chain that forces the opponent to move, and Miller can easily play the ball when facing a point guard, but in the face of Bowen's pressure, after being forced into a tight position, the ball is really limited.

At this time, no matter how fast Ryan runs, no matter how fast he is, it is useless if he can't catch the ball!

The Spurs' favorite defensive strategy is that of an off-ball scorer like Ryan and a ball-handling breakaway like Ajan.

But Kobe Bryant, who can hold the ball one-on-one and make a difficult mid-range shot, the Spurs can't hold it.

It's a pity that Ryan's ability to hold the ball is not very good now, and it is impossible to play the effect of Kobe Bryant's hard defense against the Spurs at this stage.

In the first game, the Spurs defeated the Nuggets 90-79.

The second game was even worse, and while Duncan was killing crazy on the inside, the French sports car Parker also broke out.

When Ryan went to chase Ginobili, Parker scored 30 points on the head of the twin turkey with a small spin on the top after his pick-and-roll breakaway!

97-82, the Nuggets lost two games in a row!

G3 began, and the Nuggets changed their strategy.

Ryan no longer played without the ball, but began to use his routine of killing the Timberwolves.

That is, holding the ball and taking a step to block and dismantle a step and then make a sudden stop to shoot.

The sudden change of move made the Spurs' defense a little uncomfortable, and Ryan scored 25 points to help the Nuggets pull one back.

But G4, the Spurs inside knew that the defense Ryan block was going to save and interfere with the shot. Once blocked, the person responsible for defending Ryan and the interior line assisting in defending Ryan will directly choose to pinch Ryan.

Of course, Nene can go down, but the Spurs also bullied Ryan's average ability to shoot the ball in the pinch, so he carried out the pinch with impunity.

In addition, Horry also went completely crazy this time, scoring 21 points on 5-of-6 three-point shots, which made the Zen master want to call the police!

You weren't like that with me last season!

You wild man, pretending to be dead at home, went out and shot quite happily!

3 to 1, Spurs easily got the match point!

G5, relying on the explosion of Posey and Miller, the Nuggets pulled the series to 2-3.

By the sixth game, Ryan also broke out in a wave. He always hit a difficult mid-range jumper before the bag came up, scoring 32 points in the game!

But.

The Nuggets are no longer good, and this team's ability has reached the ceiling.

Miller was limited by Bowen to shoot 2-of-11 and have four turnovers. Posey was 3 of 13 and was shot by Hori.

Walsh. Leonard finally woke up and scored 17 points, but it wasn't enough to help Ryan get through.

At this time, Skottishvili, the ceiling of Denver's combat power, took the initiative to ask Ying to share the burden for his eldest brother Ryan!

But it was vetoed by Bouzdrick.

Forget it, brother, the Spurs already have Ginobili, and they don't need a sixth man!

You just need to take care of Theron, Ryan will have to use it when he gets home!

The Spurs never gave the Nuggets another chance.

4-2, San Antonio reached the finals again!

That's it for Ryan's legendary rookie season.

After the sixth game, Ryan kicked the basketball very ungracefully.

This round of the series has given him a deeper understanding of the ceiling of his personal ability.

Ryan now knows very well that he is still a long way from the title.

It's not enough to attack and defend without the ball!

Your ability to hold the ball and play the ball needs to be improved!

Stan. Kroenke also knew that the team had to raise the ceiling.

Either find another perimeter for Ryan who can defend, and don't let him always be one-on-two on the outside.

Either find another one for Ryan to score, and don't let Ryan always be alone at critical moments.

As he walked to the locker room after the game, Scottishvili patted Ryan on the shoulder:

"It's okay Ryan, next season, I'll be your most trusted helper!"

Ryan smiled, "Thank you, buddy. ”

Then, Ryan's cell phone rang, and it was Theron calling.

At that moment, Skotishvili felt that his comfort was purely superfluous.

My goddess will comfort you.

I don't care how you comfort each other, but promise me that the mouth of the goddess can only be used for eating and talking!

Despite losing the game, Ryan's rookie season was unanimously praised.

At least Nike didn't dare to be angry after Ryan's loss, because the Black Eight MVP, Western Finals, First Defense and Three Formations were successful enough.

is so successful that a certain little emperor is almost forgotten in a corner full of cobwebs.

And Michael. Jordan looked at Ryan's unwilling appearance at the press conference and took a deep puff of his cigar thoughtfully.

The one that was the most important thing to Ryan.

Probably, it has appeared.

Today's 10,000-word update is present! The old drivers are not as stable as the old ones! The conscience is old, kneel and beg for a monthly pass! Thank you dads!
