On April 10, the Pepsi Center was once again in the spotlight of the world.

The long-running battle between the Detroit Pistons and the Denver Nuggets for the top spot is coming to an end tonight.

Two months ago, the reversal in the final 1:55 of the All-Star Game has always been hated by Nuggets fans.

In that game, if one of the Pistons four Tigers won FMVP, it would have been forgotten.

But the Nima Pistons got Ryan, but in the end it was Ajan who was cheaper!

Nuggets fans really can't figure it out!

And for such a long time, some media have ridiculed Ryan for not scoring a single point on the Pistons' head at a critical moment, and Nuggets fans are almost annoyed.

Ryan's shooting percentage was not good, and some media jumped out and said: "It's normal, after all, the Pistons have prevented him from scoring a point."

When Ryan lost, some media jumped out and said: "Ryan is not the kind of superstar who can handle the Pistons after all." ”

I've been saying it and I've been saying it for two whole months!

And today, you can finally be ashamed!

Of course, there's more to this game than just revenge.

The Detroit Pistons are the most likely team in the East to reach the Finals in addition to the Heat.

In the past two years, no Eastern Conference team has been able to shake the Pistons' status.

And the Nuggets, now more and more people believe that they will reach the Finals.

So, today is also a preview of the finals that could happen!

Even Ryan can't guarantee that the Heat will be able to get past the Pistons in this history.

That's the case in competitive sports, the same team plays again, and the result can be very different.

Uncertainty is one of the charms of competitive sports.

Therefore, the Pistons are indeed one of the opponents that they are likely to meet in the Finals!

And the Pistons, who have always been the villains of the league, are a star stepping into the threshold of greatness.

In the early '90s, Jordan crossed the Pistons and began his legendary reign.

Last season, the Spurs and Duncan surpassed the Pistons to win the third championship, which can be regarded as Shi Fo's god moment.

So, the Detroit Pistons have always played a role in all generations - the touchstone of superstardom.

A star who can lead the team through all odds to overcome the Pistons is qualified to start his own era!

So, the Nuggets vs. Pistons game means a lot.

Naturally, the topicality is also very strong.

This is undoubtedly the last battle of the regular season this season!

In the dressing room, the atmosphere was just as tense.

Bird has been wearing a face since he entered the locker room today.

He's just going to put pressure on his players today and tell his players it's not an ordinary game.

In order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, Kirilenko asked Ryan:

"Ryan, how was the result of last night's match with the 36E lady?"

Ryan raised his head with a look of disdain: "I'm a serious person!" Unlike you, your wife also allows you to cheat once a year. ”

"Who's enough at once.

I mean, I haven't used it once! How can I not be serious! ”

Webber also coaxed: "That's it, Ryan, what did you say when you broke up?" There is no woman in my heart, and I play ball as a natural god. It's good that I have a new girlfriend so soon. ”

Ryan spread his hands innocently: "I said that there is no woman in my heart, and I didn't say that there is no woman around me." It's too much to attract young ladies, and I'm actually very distressed! ”

After everyone talked nonsense for a while, the atmosphere eased a little.

After a season of grinding, the Nuggets are already a united, self-regulating team.

The long season, with occasional defeats, doubts and name-calling, has made the team stronger.

As the players laughed and laughed, Big Bird stood up and shouted in a deep voice:

"It's time to play! Let the Detroit Pistons go to be second in the league with peace of mind! ”

With that, Bird was the first to walk out of the locker room.

He knew that as long as he could conquer the bandits from Auburn Hills.

Then the nuggets will be invincible in the world!

This is the final test for the Nuggets and Ryan!

Not long after the Nuggets players took to the court, the Pistons in blue jerseys and as tough as steel also appeared.

Ryan looked at the quartet of Billups, Hamilton and the twin Wallace and remembered the All-Star two months ago.

remembered the scene when the four of them were all standing in front of him, and he didn't get a point.

These four people, this time is simply a dark cloud hovering over Ryan's head.

Although Ryan knew that as long as the system was right, he could defeat them.

But this feeling of "I can obviously do it, but the outside world thinks I can't" is simply suffocating Ryan.

Today I can finally stop holding back, the four of them, plus a little prince.

Lie down for me, I'm going to do it so much today that you can't stand up!

The two starters are in place, the Pistons are still the classic Pistons Five Tigers, and the Nuggets are also all starters.

Before the start of the game, the smiling assassin who served as the guest commentator showed his kind smile, but said something that made Nuggets fans and Chinese fans want to beat people:

"Ryan won't score too much today."

Denver narrator Chris. Marlowe looked disdainful: "Isaiah, how can you see it?" ”

"When the two sides first met, Ryan wasn't very efficient in scoring.

The second time in the All-Star Game, the Pistons quad was only serious for a minute, and Ryan couldn't.

So today's battle for the top spot, they will definitely make Ryan very uncomfortable. ”

The Smiling Assassin was by no means a black-black Ryan for supporting the Pistons, and he had a basis for saying so.

Ryan, a mid-range scorer who mainly plays without the ball, is the most comfortable for the Pistons to defend.

If Ryan has Wade's breakthrough and is paired with an interior line that can open up space, the Pistons will really be uncomfortable.

But alas, Ryan is not Wade!

On the pitch, Ryan was ready for battle.

At this time, everyone in the team spontaneously gathered around Ryan and put all their hands on Ryan's shoulder.

Then, on behalf of the whole team, Webb said:

"We're all behind you, give it a go, lion!"

Webb's mental state this season is completely different from last season, and he still remembers his "I want to win, even once" in front of Bird last summer.

At that time, Weber felt that he was almost abandoned by God.

But this season in Denver, it made him reborn.

So far this season, Webb has averaged 15.3 points, 8.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. And because he is no longer the main attacker, he is much more efficient.

He also knows that this is his last chance to challenge for the championship.

So no matter who gets in front of Ryan, Webb will do everything he can to help the young superstar clear the way!

Ryan looked at his teammates and nodded.

Let's get started!

The referee threw the ball into the air, and the Pistons got the first attack!

For the Pistons' offense, Bird is not worried.

Although the head coach was replaced by Philip. After Sanders, the Pistons were indeed much more efficient on the offensive end than they were before.

Sanders is not like Larry. Brown's old pervert, he allowed more three-point shots. Even the big forward of Roaring Tianzun has to shoot more than 5 three-pointers per game, which is very rare in this era!

Billups let himself go, breaking the 400 three-point mark for the first time in his career.

The Pistons' offense has indeed improved a lot, but there is still a big gap from the top.

After Billups passed half-time, he saw that it was Ryan who was defending himself directly.

This '97 Tanhua is the engine of the Pistons' offensive end and the Pistons' most explosive scoring point.

As long as you can hold him down, the Pistons' offense will only make it worse!

As for Hamilton, just leave it to Kirilenko, AK47 is very effective in defending both the off-ball and the ball-handler.

In this way, Ryan and AK blocked Billups and Hamilton, and the Pistons' offense couldn't run smoothly for a while.

Billups could only feed the ball to the roaring celestial deity that came out.

Tianzun singled Nene with his back, but the Brazilian's defense was just as tough.

Under the interference of None's best efforts, the roaring Tianzun turned over and jumped out of the frame with a straight arm.

But on the inside, Big Ben grabbed an offensive rebound on top of Webb's head!

Although Big Ben is short, he can play steadily, and he was not caught behind by Webb when he wrestled with Webb, so he also got a good scramble position.

Coupled with athletic ability, Webb directly crushed Webb, so Webb couldn't even touch this kind of five-to-five ball!

After winning the rebound, Webb did not hesitate and fouled Big Ben directly!

Philip. Sanders cursed secretly, this season, more and more teams have begun to use shark slashing tactics for the big itself.

Big Ben also lived up to expectations, and his free throw shooting rate this season was 41.6%!

For comparison, Billups has shot 43.3 percent from three-point range this season

In the 20-21 season, Ben. Simmons shot a staggering 34.2 percent from the free-throw line in the playoffs. But when people thought it was a ceiling-level iron performance, they found out after checking the data

In the 05-06 season, Big Ben shot only 27.3% from the free-throw line in the playoffs!

For someone like Simmons, who is already outrageous in shooting, he still can't surpass Big Ben in this regard.

The strength of Big Ben's shooting in this area can be seen!

Fouling him is a surefire thing!

Big Ben reluctantly stood at the free throw line, and after receiving the basketball, he brewed for a long time, comparing the shooting action five or six times.

Then throw the ball with a determined look!

"Three don't stick! Root. Wallace's first penalty in the opening game was directly three non-sticks!

In terms of disappointing shots, Ben. Wallace never disappoints! ”

Nuggets home commentator Chris. Marlowe is dancing, with such a center on the floor, how can I lose in Denver!?

Philip. Sanders was also speechless, he has been a head coach in the NBA for so many years, and he has never seen such an outrageous person shooting!

You have to say that you are tired and the free throw is unstable.

The first goal of the opening game of Wozhnyima, you will give me this kind of energetic show?

Big Ben is also very helpless, he doesn't understand why basketball games are so complicated.

Is the shooting thing a human play?

Why can't you play basketball like football, holding the ball and rushing straight into it?

Laughing to death, Big Ben didn't realize at all that he couldn't fight like that, not because the rules didn't allow it, but because he didn't have enough coffee seats.

It's as if Ryan never knew that girls could be so active before he crossed over.

It is impossible for Big Ben to know how blind the referee can actually be.

For some players, walking with the ball is allowed.

In the second penalty, Ben learned a lesson and increased his strength.

The basketball was no longer embarrassed, but it hit the basket on the neck.

The Nuggets' first defense was perfect!

But the whole world knows that it's not good to keep pistons at bay. Being able to handle the Pistons' defense is the key to defeating them!

In the commentary seat, the smile of the smiling assassin revealed schadenfreude.

Another so-called young superstar, to be embarrassed by the Pistons' steely torrent defense!

The Pistons have a good set of mid-range off-ball offense against Ryan, and it is said that breaking the sky is to bite Ryan and not give him an easy chance to shoot.

And that's exactly what Hamilton and Prince are good at.

Hamilton was ready to run a marathon with Ryan.

In order to avoid an accident today, Hamilton even ate a shallow meal of five minutes!

After all, he didn't want Big Ben to get a shark experience card with a stomach.

Come on Ryan, the showdown between our two marathon runners has officially begun!

But!

Ryan didn't linger with Hamilton for the full half as usual.

Just after halftime, the Twin Knife Turkey gave the ball directly to Ryan from 45° outside the three-point line on the right side and then pulled away.

At the same time, the Nuggets helped Ryan open up space.

Webb even stepped back to the three-point line!

Philip. Sanders is confused, what are the Nuggets going to do?

This stance. Is it to let Ryan hold the ball and single!?

Bird ate too much of the bad bird food last night!

How dare he!?

What's the difference between letting Ryan hold the ball and letting O'Neal be the three-point gun?

In the commentary seat, the smile of the smiling assassin disappeared.

When things go wrong, there must be demons, and the Assassin knew very well that Bird was not the kind of coach who was prone to tricks. Ryan must have done it on purpose!

Ryan took two steps back and opened up a dash of distance from Hamilton.

Hamilton swallowed, the stance he knew all too well.

They did the same thing when they dealt with James and Wade.

Ryan you don't really want it.

Before Hamilton could finish complaining in his heart, Ryan rushed towards Masked Man with a kick of floor oil!

With the blessing of the "Instant Activation" talent, Hamilton felt that it was just a blink of an eye, and Ryan rushed in front of him!

Hamilton tried to stop it with his hands, but quickly rejected the foolish idea.

This season's rules don't allow him to do that.

Hamilton has to keep his foul count under control, because if he's plagued by fouls, the Pistons are missing the most important of the three legs on the offensive end!

He's the one who leads the charge!

There's no way, Masked Man can only use his torso to block Ryan.

But where is this time, and Lane's confrontation ability is not comparable to Hamilton.

Ryan dribbled with his right hand and topped his left shoulder, squeezing straight away from Masked Man's side and flying into the interior like a bullet!

Because Ryan's breakthrough was so sudden, both Wallace couldn't get back to the box in time.

In this way, Ryan easily broke through Hamilton with the simplest dribble from outside the three-point line, and then scored with a one-handed dunk inside!

The whole court shook, and no one thought that Ryan would use such a simple and crude way to directly smash the Pistons' iron-blooded defense!

On the commentary bench, Chris. Marlowe also cheered with the fans:

"Can't score against the Pistons' defense? No, Ryan can score in the first round!

With a tomahawk slam dunk, Ryan officially declared war on the Pistons in the most explosive way! ”

On the sidelines, Daddario jumped up excitedly, and his chest naturally jumped twice.

When the fans saw the Q-bomb of D'Addario, it seemed that they understood everything.

Why has Ryan's ball control skills improved so much? Because he can now practice ball control every day! It's still the kind of training that controls the two!

Seeing Ryan break through with ease, Hamilton is secretly scolding the league for its stupid behavior of changing the rules.

He knew that Ryan's dribbling was actually very simple, and if he put it last season, he would definitely not be able to break through. But under the No handcheck rule, Ryan can break through without any technical content as long as the impact is strong enough!

No way, who made the ratings of the finals of the Pistons and Spurs so low that the ratings were outrageously low?

If the league is just right, and then continue to play defensive basketball, the ratings will be so low, and the advertising fee will not be able to sell the price.

In fact, Stern wanted to unlock the No Handcheck rule step by step at first.

That's why this rule was introduced in the 04-05 season, but it didn't change significantly last season.

People need time to get used to the new size.

But last season's frightening ratings made Stern decide to cut through the mess and speed up the progress, so this season he blew Handcheck.

It's just that people never expected that Ryan, an off-ball scorer, could also eat the dividends of the rule change!

After that, Prince Prince Jr. made a catch-and-shoot to help the Pistons equalize.

But even the most die-hard Pistons fans know that it's unrealistic to expect Prince and Ryan to score points.

Ryan is averaging more than twice as many points per game as Prince!

You've got to find a way to hold Ryan!

After a round, the Nuggets continued their previous strategy, with Ryan holding the ball at the top of the arc and singled Hamilton!

With the experience just now, Hamilton put Ryan more defensively this time, and directly put two steps.

Ryan slowly approached, accelerated, and then approached Hamilton, suddenly a body in front of a body changed direction!

This movement of changing direction in front of the body is very basic, and to be honest, the speed of changing direction is not fast.

However, because it was still far from Hamilton, Ryan's dribbling was not disturbed in any way, so the change of direction was quite fluid and there were no mistakes.

No matter how good the dribbling ability is 60, it won't be able to drop the ball without confrontation as a basic body change of direction.

This change of direction, which is neither pleasant and confusing, nor strong, only gives Ryan a glimmer of room to break through, but it is enough!

As long as Hamilton is not in front of Ryan as a whole person, Ryan can pass through him with the force of impact!

It's the same as just now, Ryan dribbled with one hand, protected the ball with the other, and then carried away Hamilton, who didn't dare to get started, with his shoulder, and easily entered the inside!

Roaring Tianzun rushed back to the restricted area, but Ryan still took the first step to score with a one-handed dunk!

After holding the ball and breaking through, he dunked with one hand, and the Pistons' defense was broken down again!

Nuggets fans are crazy, where have they seen this before!

Ryan was stunned to break through with the ball in a row, this is too magical!

Big Ben is angry, okay, okay, Ryan, you want to play like this, right?

Lao Tzu directly let Weber shrink the forbidden area, see how you break through!

So in the next round, Big Ben waited directly on the edge of the three-second zone when he defended.

The defense of the entire Pistons has become the kind of formation that shrank more fiercely when they played the Lakers.

When Ryan was holding the ball at the top of the arc, Hamilton couldn't wait to step back behind the free throw line!

Big Ben looked at the Pistons' bucket formation, full of confidence.

This time, I want to see how you can score!?

In the face of our shrinking defense, you Ryan has great ability, and this round will be in vain!

As a result, Daben just finished thinking about it, and Ryan started shooting directly outside the three-point line!

Laugh to death, you are so tightly guarded inside, don't you know how to shoot outside?

Isn't it fragrant to shoot three points directly in the vacant position?

Hamilton was so frightened that he immediately reached out to interfere, but because he had just put Ryan too far away, he couldn't interfere with Ryan's shot at all.

And under the effect of the talent of the "opportunist", Ryan's empty three-point went straight through the net!

"At the beginning of 7-2, Ryan scored 7 points in a row!

Moreover, Ryan scored all three of his first three shots in the opening period!

The Detroit Pistons' defense has no way to deal with him!

Ryan couldn't score under the Pistons' defense?

It's a joke!

He scored as much as he wanted under the Pistons' defense! ”

Chris. Marlowe turned his head after yelling, and the smiling assassin had become a bitter melon assassin.

Seeing Ryan's score so calmly, Isaiah. Thomas sighed, and the memories of being trampled under Jordan's feet suddenly began to attack him.

He knew that the Detroit Pistons.

It's going to be a backdrop for the rise of a superstar again!

This damn curse will be fulfilled on Ryan again!

Thank you for the rewards of the big guys such as Don't End the Night, Defend the Country and Rush with Me, thank you!
