084 : The defending champion has become a lost dog, is 56 points a lot?
115 to 73, a number that hangs bloodily on the big screen in the center of ATT.
Ryan exercised his "first liquid rights" against the defending champion!
The championship ring is still Spurs', but the dignity of Spurs is gone!
With a 42-point difference, the defending champions lost the most in the opener, and there was no one!
And Popovich, who looked high before the game, was beaten by Ryan and his face turned green!
Especially after Ryan spewed trash talk at him, his dignity as the godfather of the Spurs was even more smashed!
Spurs fans are also confused, because today is the opening game, and there is also the championship ring awarding ceremony, so the ticket price is much more expensive than usual.
As a result, Nima showed us this!?
This is equivalent to spending money on a hamburger, and if there is no meat in the bread embryo, forget it, and end up with two rat droppings in it!
It's just spending money to buy disgusting!
But for the Denver fans and the Chinese fans, tonight was simply too blissful!
At the beginning, I thought that if I could win against Spurs, it would be the New Year.
As a result, as soon as the fourth quarter started, Ryan expanded the margin to 30 points!
Later, I thought that winning the Spurs by 30 points would be happy enough.
I didn't expect Ellis, who had a fateful relationship with Ryan, to be so powerful, scoring 11 points in a single quarter in his NBA debut, and he was stunned to stretch the difference to an astonishing 42 points!
This is called revenge!
In last season's playoffs, the Spurs won against the Nuggets, and all the points difference did not add up to 42 points!
Now, I finally don't have to look at Popovich's self-esteemed face anymore, and finally see the hope of beating the Spurs in the playoffs!
The post-match press conference between the two teams was simply lively, and the press conference was packed with people.
When Popovich walked into the press conference, his eyes were bloodshot with anger.
Can this old man not be angry? Originally, he had thought about it, and he wore his three rings to show off at today's press conference.
By the way, mock Ryan's incompetence.
But now, he's embarrassed to wear a ring on his hand!
It's my ring, but I always feel ashamed to wear it.
is obviously the defending champion, but he was beaten like a lost dog!
Who can stand this feeling!
Popovich: Who knows, family.
Defending champions: We really don't understand the 42 points lost in the opening game!
Popovich sat on the podium with his mouth deflated in the shape of an arched bridge.
A reporter raised his hand: "Coach, what really happened on the field today?" Why lose by 42 points? What went wrong with the team? ”
Popovich replied angrily: "The problem with the team is that the basketballs thrown out are all smashed into the basket, it's as simple as that." ”
"So. The Spurs set the record for the biggest loss in the opening game for the defending champions, is there anything you would like to say? ”
"Expect the next record-breaker to show up! Okay, can you ask some questions! ”
The reporters can see that it is impossible for Popovich to be honest with the interview today. He is now a powder keg, and whoever touches it suffers.
There is a saying circulating in NBA journalist circles: "There are two kinds of people in this world that cannot be touched, the 35-year-old woman and Popovich after the loss." ”
After the loss, Popovich is like a 35-year-old woman, but if they are allowed to seize the opportunity, they will release everything that is holding back!
The Spurs' press conference was depressing and tense, and every reporter was afraid of being scolded by Popovich for saying the wrong thing.
On the other hand, the Nuggets' press conference was a completely different atmosphere, extremely cheerful.
A local journalist in the holy city shouted loudly and dissatisfiedly:
"Larry, the game has entered garbage time, but the Nuggets are still attacking with all their might, isn't this a bit disrespectful to the opponent?"
Facing the reporter who deliberately provoked trouble, Bird showed a surprised expression, and then looked at Ryan:
"Damn, they can't even guard the high school students on our team, and they actually blame me for disrespecting my opponents?
God, Ellis is already the weakest player I can field!
How else can I respect you? Call 42-year-old Jordan and 46-year-old Magic to play with their beer bellies? ”
For a while, there was a burst of laughter at the press conference.
Although the Nuggets post-game press conference, the head coach's beep has become a reserved program.
But it should be said that the gap between professional players and amateurs is still very large.
Before the game began, Bird looked like he was on the verge of a big enemy, but now he pretended to be a natural one.
The Holy City reporter was stunned, and now, it was the turn of the Denver reporter to ask:
"Larry, the team's offensive system this season has been spectacular. But as we all know, the more complex the tactics, the more difficult they are to execute.
But the problem of difficult tactical execution was not reflected in the Nuggets.
What is the secret of such a high rate of tactical execution by the players? ”
Bird shrugged:
"Tactically complex? Our attacking tactics are nothing more than active running without the ball, constantly looking for open teammates with the ball, and that's it.
No way? There won't be a team that can't even implement this elementary school tactic, right?
To tell you the truth, I didn't expect such a simple tactic to win the defending champion by 42 points.
Let's just say that my players are too strong.
With just one click, they were on the offensive like a flood. ”
Bird's words are equivalent to Jordan telling you, "My offense is very simple, just jump up and wait for others to land before making a move." To tell you the truth, I didn't expect such a simple trick to beat the best defensive player. ”
The loading and beeping index is simply full!
It's not hard to imagine how Popovich's blood pressure will soar tomorrow when he hears this.
The reporters then turned their attention to Lane:
"Ryan, this game must have made you raise your eyebrows, right? How did it feel to put on such a good show on the Spurs' championship ring presentation night? ”
Ryan deliberately mimicked Popovich's pre-match words:
"A lot of people said they were going to beat me before the game, but now, they can only measure their rising blood pressure in the dark."
The reporters laughed again, and the whole press conference was filled with happy air inside and outside the scene.
The Holy City reporter couldn't stand the milk, so he could only shout helplessly:
"The things of the regular season, how can you be considered a loss!? The playoffs are where the real strength will be tested! ”
Bird nodded:
"That's right, but don't worry about us, we're half a year away from beating the Spurs in the playoffs."
At that moment, the reporters in the Holy City probably wanted to shout: "Which of you is going to beat him?" I'll pay the fine! ”
In this way, this opening game directly became popular in the entire basketball world.
Who would have thought that the defending champion could be beaten like this.
You know, the Spurs' lineup hasn't changed much and hasn't experienced injuries.
As a result, while retaining the complete championship lineup, it was beaten like this.
This made almost all the mainstream media marvel at the fighting power of the Nuggets and praise everyone on the Nuggets:
"10 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists! Chris, who was sentenced to death before the season. Webb almost hit a triple-double and he's at home in his new position! ”
"17 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, AK47 shows all-around attributes again!"
"11 points in a single quarter! Monta. Ellis, another gifted high school student comes out? ”
Of course, it was Ryan who was touted the most:
"38 points in the opener! Ryan does what he says, revenge Spurs! ”
"Ryan: Pepsi Center, there's going to be a championship flag soon"
"At the start of his third season, Ryan is still far ahead of the rookies in the class of '03!"
"Three-pointers, passing skills are beginning to show, and Ryan, who continues to get stronger, is marching towards a burst!"
In just one game, Ryan captured the world's attention and became the most trafficked player of the season.
Nike was scared to death, but he didn't expect the season to start with hellish difficulty.
If James doesn't put on some decent performance, he won't be able to take that little bit of traffic away from the Nuggets' 42-point victory.
But don't say it, Ajan's first game this season was quite competitive!
The first game of the 05-06 season for the Cavaliers, just two minutes into the game, Cavaliers fans were in high spirits.
Because James actually hit 4 three-pointers in a row in two minutes!
It's no secret that James' long-range shooting ability has been criticized for the past two seasons.
But at the beginning of the season's opener, James used four consecutive three-pointers to show the results of his training this summer!
In the end, James scored 24 points in the first half, and went straight to the break halfway through the third quarter, scoring 31 points in 33 minutes, shooting 6 of 7 three-pointers in the game!
Lead the team to destroy the Hornet, which has a bomb disposal expert, in half the hour!
After the game, Hornets coach Byron Brown. Scott sighed: "I can't help but stop thinking to appreciate LeBron's play, his progress is incredible!" ”
James himself wasn't very modest: "I could have scored 38 and 40 points, but I'm not the kind of player who cares about scoring stats. The match was decided, so I didn't play again. ”
Ajan's words are Ryan, who was leading by 25 points before complaining and then playing.
This sentence also made Cleveland fans work frantically on the Internet as if they had received a holy decree:
"If James and Ryan play the same time, it is estimated that the opening game will be 40 points per game! He has the ability to shoot three-pointers, and his scoring ability has finished beating Ryan! ”
"It's always been a complete game, and James had already scored 56 points in a single game last season. Ryan's current career-high score is only 45 points, and he takes the lead and LeBron. ”
"There's going to be a rookie from the class of '03 coming in this season, but it's going to be LeBron, not Ryan!"
James' performance in the first game made both the Cavaliers and Nike lift their jaws to the sky.
However, these voices in the media did not affect Ryan.
He didn't care too much about James' performance, but more about his teammates.
Today in the locker room, Ryan gave Ellis a piece of Patek Philippe as promised.
Ellis took the watch, but he didn't expect Ryan to fulfill his promise so quickly and so simply: "Big brother, give me such a valuable gift, sister-in-law won't say anything about you, right?" ”
Ryan smiled and waved his hand.
"What did the second sister-in-law say?"
Ryan:???
"Where did the second sister-in-law come from? It's all said that the all-star threesome party is a rumor! Gossip!
A person of such integrity as me would starve to death and jump off the Empire State Building, and it would be impossible for me to play this three-player game! ”
After Ellis put the watch on, he slapped his chest red on the spot:
"Father-in-law, if you don't dislike it, I will provide for you in the future!
Rest assured, in the future, this kind of garbage time dare to fight and dare to fight, my generation is duty-bound!
You're not good at making a move in garbage time, I'll help you do it!
Whoever upsets you, I'll make him lose thirty or forty points in garbage time!
58 points is not impossible!
In short, until they are convinced!
I will carry out the concept of off-peak travel to the end! ”
Ryan nodded, yes, the young man is quite conscious, and he found a way to win the GOAT at a young age.
A piece of Patek Philippe for Popovich blood pressure 280 and Ellis's awakening.
Value!
At this point, Bird clapped his hands and reminded everyone that the media opening time was approaching and that the reporters were coming in.
At the same time, it is also reminded that everyone will rest early today, and they will soon play against the Suns, the No. 1 team in the West last season and the only 60-win team last season.
The first home game of the new season, no room for error!
While the previous 42-point win was a beautiful one, the season is too long to dwell on past wins.
Journalists quickly walked into the dressing room to interview the players.
But today, many reporters didn't mention the 42-point win over the Spurs.
Most reporters are asking questions related to James' 34 minutes and 31 minutes.
And, they are all comparing James and Ryan!
"Larry, who do you think is the stronger LeBron or Ryan's scoring ability?"
Bird didn't even think about it: "The one who made the playoffs." ”
"Well, but LeBron scored 56 points, and Ryan didn't even touch the 50 threshold. In the opening game, LeBron scored 34 points and 31 points, can you answer my question head-on? ”
"Is 56 a lot? If Ryan wants to, he can too. ”
The reporter couldn't help but laugh: "Heh, not everyone is you, Larry. I know you want to defend your players, but everyone sees the difference! 56 points, not everyone can get it! ”
As soon as the reporter finished saying this, he heard Ryan on the side also say in response to other reporters' questions: "Is 56 points a lot?" ”
Ryan replied with a determined gaze full of confidence.
Seeing this, Bird smiled at the reporter in front of him:
"Not all of them are me, but it seems that some people do look like me. I advise you to stop talking about 56 points. Otherwise, LeBron will lose his only advantage. ”
With that, Bird looked at Ryan again.
That kid really has a bit of his own spirit.
If I had been so provoked, I would have answered like that.
I don't know why, Bird always has a hunch that in these games, Ryan may have a high-scoring game.
Don't ask where Bird's hunch comes from, the one who pretends to beep, the one who knows how to pretend to beep best!
Today's 10,000-word update is present! Steady as an old dog's update, kneel and beg for a monthly pass! Thank you, fathers!
