Ryan, last 2.1 seconds to counter lore.

In the first game of the playoffs, the MVP candidate made such an explosive performance.

The fans at Pepsi Center still have weak legs, as if they need a little time to slow down after coming down from a roller coaster, and Nuggets fans also need time to slow down after watching the lore just now.

After all, just now, they had just experienced a moment of life and death!

With 2.1 seconds left, Ryan catches the ball, jumps forward, and then shoots.

The replay on the big screen shows that if Ryan's shot is a little slower, it is very likely to time out!

The moment the red glow flashed on the rebound, the basketball just detached from Ryan's fingertips.

This lore is really a slap in time!

But fortunately, the Nuggets won in the end under the leadership of Ryan!

Ryan, 12 points in overtime, 46 points in the game.

It's definitely a superstar-level playoff show!

This game undoubtedly opened up the gap between Ryan and other ordinary players again.

Mike. At this time, Brin also intentionally or unintentionally imitated the words of the magician who evaluated Jordan back then, saying:

"The 21-year-old players in NBA history are only divided into Ryan and others!"

Good guys, Nike calls good guys.

Did you say that considering our feelings?

On the court, after Ryan sprayed Kobe Bryant, he felt that all the grievances in his heart were finally vented.

Sure enough, there's nothing cooler than squirting in the face!

Ryan also looked up at the score, should I say that Kobe Bryant is indeed perverted.

In history, Ryan remembers that Bryant's career-high score in the playoffs was 50 points.

There is actually one more point in this history.

But it doesn't matter how many points Kobe Bryant scores, the victory now belongs only to the Nuggets and Ryan!

Nike was disappointed, and instead of overturning the first place in the West, Ryan also played such a wonderful game.

Well, Ryan is going to explode again!

Sure enough, after this game, Ryan's reputation hit a new high.

At first, people may think that the third-year player competing for MVP is somewhat magical.

But Ryan's first game of the playoffs has undoubtedly proven that he is an MVP-caliber player!

While MVPs are awarded based on regular season performance, fans will inevitably judge an MVP by their playoff performance.

The most typical is Garnett, whose performance in the regular season was actually completely worthy of the MVP award. But because of the tragic black eight by Ryan in the first round of the playoffs, he has been sprayed until now.

The same is true for the drivers in the original history, and there is no problem with his performance in the regular season winning the MVP, but the crotch pull in the playoffs has made him bear the infamy of "soft eggs" for many years.

Until the great man who saved his career came along.

After all, in the minds of fans, MVP means that this player must at least be the player with the strongest comprehensive ability this season.

And a really strong player can't do nothing in the playoffs.

So Ryan's victory not only helped the team win the first game of the first round, but also made his status at the top of the MVP list deserved!

On the night of the game, commentators on almost all sports channels were praising Ryan.

The fact that a three-year-old player can compete with the crazy Kobe Bryant to this point is enough to show how strong Ryan is.

Even Kobe Bryant admitted at the press conference after the game:

"I met an extremely tough guy today!"

This Peter Pan, who no one looked down on at the time, publicly praised Ryan for the first time.

The next day, the heat of the game still did not drop.

Countless sports TV stations are replaying yesterday's brilliant battle between Ryan and Kobe Bryant's quasi-lore - absolute tie - quasi-lore - lore.

There are even quite a few media outlets that have called it the greatest playoff star showdown in NBA history.

Not even one of them is exempt!

Because there are really few games that can meet the drama of "two stars racing each other" and "two stars racing each other's key balls, and more than one".

For Bryant, the game was a huge disservice. But for the fans, this game is a treasure!

Everyone spends money to watch the game, don't they just want to watch this kind of fierce duel?

Unlike Ajan, he blows it very well every time, but every time he is beaten by Ryan, the fans want to return the money every time.

But there are also nitpicky voices, and some people think, well, mainly Cleveland fans and Lakers fans think that the Nuggets are already a failure to play a team that has won 20 fewer games than themselves.

And believes that Lai's defense is also far from as good as people think.

was blown up by Kobe Bryant for a full 51 points, and he is embarrassed to say that he is the strongest outside defender in the active service? Are you embarrassed to blow what DPOY candidates?

Bah!

And the last 2.1 seconds lore, there is a lot of luck involved! The Nuggets just got away with it!

Cleveland prostitute, ah no, the famous Mike McNing even wrote an article analyzing the Lakers and Nuggets series in his column.

The title is very old-fashioned:

"The Nuggets seem to be in a good situation in the playoffs, but in fact they have collapsed!"

Ryan read it and called it professional, U.S. news, where they want to collapse, they have to collapse.

Of course, not too many fans took this kind of statement seriously.

That is, the Kecun fans and Lakers fans are lying to themselves.

And just one day after the Nuggets defeated the Lakers, the Cavaliers also successfully eliminated the Bulls in the first game of the playoffs.

James performed well, scoring 30 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks in the all-around data. Gordon's 35 points were down to nothing.

It stands to reason that James should have been blown up for playing such an all-round performance.

But in the face of Ryan's 46-minute countdown, the media really couldn't afford to blow Ajan.

After this fight, Barkley also commented:

"LeBron proved that he is one of the best 21-year-olds in NBA history.

But Ryan is the strongest one!

LeBron's words, at most, is the best player at the age of 21! ”

You can see how angry the fans are that they are eager to storm the Capitol Hill to take over TNT.

But the only thing that delights Cleveland fans is that the Bulls don't look defenseless against the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers' 4-0 sweep to advance should be a no-brainer.

But on the side of the Lakers and the Nuggets, the first game was so intense, proving that even if the Nuggets can win in the end, they will definitely have to shed their skin!

When the time comes, from the perspective of "court dominance", Ajan will be far ahead!

thereupon

In the second game, Cleveland fans watched the Nuggets slaughter the Lakers by as many as 17 points at home!

The Lakers' state is the same as the last game, and Kobe, who blocked God in the last game, was 7-of-21 today, scoring only 22 points on 33% shooting.

Not even half of the last one.

A wave of 3 of 11 in the fourth quarter directly killed the game.

On the other hand, on the Nuggets' side, in addition to Ryan today, AK47 also stepped up and swept away 22 points with a terrible efficiency of 8 of 10 shots!

With 10 shots, AK47 didn't shoot as many shots as Kobe Bryant in the fourth quarter, but he scored the same number of points as Kobe.

Kobe Bryant was criticized again after this game, and the "Kobe Bryant is too alone" remark that had plagued him for a whole season once again occupied the mainstream.

In fact, Ryan can also see that Kobe Bryant really has no one to pass.

Except for Odom, none of the Lakers performed well in this game.

Kwame. Brown couldn't catch the ball under the basket, and Parker hit all kinds of iron.

Luke, who was brave in the last game. Wharton, the father-in-home experience card has also expired.

Seeing that the Lakers lost so badly, the Kecun fans, who originally had high hopes for the Lakers, also hated from love.

"What kind of garbage is Kobe? Isn't it just a 65-win team? He can't beat it! ”

"To be honest, Kobe Bryant can't beat the Nuggets with this lineup, it's really unreasonable.

The Lakers lineup is not the top in the league, but at least it is also the second top.

The king of value for money, the king of money, the brutal young shark Bynum, the French king Turiaf, and the son of superstar, Luke. Wharton, 3 points the Great Devon. George, the Golden Warrior Aaron. McGee, Parker, the god of death when he smells, and Vujacic, the supreme of Europe

Can this lineup lose to the Nuggets by 17 points?

Waste Kobe! ”

"Don't brag about Kobe, he's a data brush!"

Ryan is all convinced, Cleveland people collectively split personality, right?

Before the game, you also said that the Lakers' strength is greater than the record, and you also said that Kobe Bryant is better than Lao Tzu.

Now Kobe Bryant Waste Lakers Trash Again?

Also, how does the Lakers' lineup have anything to do with Bright?

That can't be helped, according to the logic of Kecun fans, James is surrounded by CBA, and other stars must be surrounded by real giants.

In the third game, the game finally went to Los Angeles.

Lakers fans and Kamura are also looking forward to Kobe's magical performance when he plays G1 at home.

But in this game, Kobe Bryant continued to get lost, and was defended by Ryan and scored only 17 points on 6-of-18 shooting!

This time, Kobe Bryant not only had a low shooting percentage, but even scored less than 20 for the first time!

After the last two games, no one will stand up and question Ryan's defense!

To be able to defend the scoring champion of the season so embarrassed, isn't this DPOY?

In fact, in the G1 Kobe Bryant's 51-point game, Ryan's defense was not bad.

But after the superstar kills crazy, he can often score goals against the defense. Being scored at this time is not a matter of whether the defense is good or bad, and the defender can only consider himself unlucky.

You don't talk about superstars, even ordinary football stars can kill crazy when they feel hot.

You don't see that Poole can score 41 points in the last game, and he will be able to score 1 of 15 in the next game.

So Kobe Bryant's 51-point game is really not Ryan's defensive dish, he can score with perfect defense, what can he do.

No, G2 and G3, when Kobe's magical touch is no longer there, Ryan's defensive ability is reflected.

In addition to defense, Ryan's offensive play in the last three games has also been consistent.

G1 scored 46 points, and G2 scored another 35 points.

Today G3 also scored 32 points while almost locking up Kobe.

It truly achieves the integration of offense and defense!

In terms of role players for the Lakers, Odom also played a rollover scene today, making 5 of 14 from the field, including 1 of 6 from three-point range!

When both Kobe and Odom pulled their hips, the Lakers had no second ending other than to lose.

After all, you can't expect the Zen master's "If you have a child, don't let Kwamei hug it" Jordan's hand-picked champion can break out.

In the third game, the Lakers directly intensified and lost by 21 points!

The match turned out to be as Bird and Zen Master thought, and after the first game, the gap between the two sides will become more and more obvious.

In fact, in the original history, the Lakers led the Suns 3-1, and finally suffered a tragic reversal, and the rout began when Kobe Bryant couldn't win the game after scoring 50 points.

This kind of feeling that the team has played at a high level but still can't win the game is the most shocking.

And in this history, this game appeared in the first one.

So the whole mentality of the Lakers collapsed.

Those who thought the Lakers could still wrestle with the Nuggets are now undoubtedly a big surprise.

And Kobe's strength in the first game, and the current score of 0-3, instead set off Ryan's strength!

If Ryan had easily abused the Lakers from Game 1, the media would have only said that Ryan was abusing the dishes.

But Kobe's 51-point performance in the first game was so brilliant that now people feel that it was because Ryan was too strong that he suppressed Kobe, who was so perverted in his personal ability.

G4, the Nuggets naturally don't have any reason to be soft-hearted.

And the role players of the Lakers have long been exhausted.

Odom was 5-of-14 and Parker was 4-of-13. Combined, the two were 1 of 10 three-pointers.

And that's not all, Vujacic 2 of 6, Kwame. Brown was 2-of-10 as a center, and Brian was 2-of-10. Cook 4 of 11

It's hard to find a player with a shooting percentage of more than 40% in the Lakers' stat sheet!

The most critical thing is that Kobe Bryant only scored 1 point in the second half of this life-and-death battle!

15 points for the whole game! Score a new low!

Ryan's excellent defense is one thing, and Kobe Bryant's performance today is mainly because the Zen master annoyed Kobe.

In the first half, Bryant was still going his own way, but his team trailed by 13 points.

So when he was in the locker room at halftime, the Zen master actually learned from the media outside, and told Kobe Bryant in a very stern tone: "Pass the ball more, don't be alone." ”

Kobe Bryant was stunned at the time, and that group of idiot media didn't understand anything, just ignore Bibi.

You Phil. Jackson doesn't know why I don't pass the ball yet? What is our team like, you don't have a beep in your heart?

No one really thinks this is a serious playoff team!

In fact, this is the case with Zen coaching, the more critical the moment, the more he encourages the integration of role players into the offense.

This was true even during the Bull period.

Steve. Cole, John. Role players such as Paxson have played decisive performances in key moments.

But the old Zen master made one mistake, that is, this Lakers' role players have no ability to integrate into the offense!

Kobe didn't argue with the Zen master at the time, he wasn't the kind of person who liked blind Bibi.

He prefers to educate people with his actions.

So in the second half, Kobe Bryant only made 3 shots in a gamble.

Other times it's passing.

The media said that I am alone, and your head coach is also fooling around here.

Okay, Lao Tzu won't make a move, but Lao Tzu wants to see if you can win!

There is no doubt that after Kobe Bryant didn't make many shots, the Lakers didn't even have the slightest chance of winning.

The Zen master also knew that he had said the wrong thing, but it was irreparable.

So G4, the Lakers were completely destroyed directly with a gap of 33 points!

In four games, the Lakers really took one step at a time, fishing on vacation!

With a total score of 4-0, the Denver Nuggets were dragged into overtime in the first game, but in the end they passed the first round cleanly and successfully advanced, proving the dominance of the first place in the West!

Cleveland fans were disappointed, thinking that the Nuggets' first game was just luck, but they didn't expect it. It's actually the Lakers who rely on luck!

As for Ryan, he undoubtedly proved his MVP-level strength in the first round.

In the first Lakers' big outbreak, Ryan was able to hold back with a lore.

In the next three games, Ryan played the Lakers like a dog.

On the contrary, it was Ajan, who also lost to the Bulls once in the last game.

The question of who is "the strongest 21-year-old player in NBA history" no longer makes sense.

Is there an alternative to Ryan?

By the end of the first round, Ryan had cleared all doubts.

At this point, the whole world knows that this year's league number one is worthy of its name!

After the victory over the Lakers, Ryan and Bird also had a drag on their faces in interviews.

Bird: "Rejoice? What are you asking? When is it an honor to pass the first round? ”

Ryan: "We're not done yet, it's just that there's nothing to celebrate after the first round. After all, we're not the kind of team that only makes the playoffs once in years. ”

Cleveland Media: "The little emperor successfully passed the first round, showing his true colors as MVP!" ”

The performance of both sides to advance to the second round is simply superior.

Ryan and Bird really weren't too happy, and the first round was nothing compared to their goals.

The next Western Conference semifinals is where the challenge really begins.

In the semifinals, the Nuggets' opponents will be between the Mavericks and the Warriors.

In the original history, the Warriors staged the Black Eight Miracle to defeat the Mavericks the following year.

But this history is different, this historical Warriors and the original historical Warriors are completely two teams.

In the original history, the core lineup of the Warriors during the Black Eight period was the bearded Davis, Martial Saint Jackson and Richardson.

And in this history, the core lineup of the Warriors is the trident of Arenas-Yaoming-Jamison.

It is not the mad scientist Nelson Sr. who coaches the Warriors, but Lionel who pays attention to positional offense and defense. Hollins.

The greatest achievement in Coach Hollins' original history was to bring out the grizzly bear who had to peel off the skin of whoever met him.

It can be seen that his style of play is very different from that of Nelson Sr.

Therefore, the series between the Warriors and the Mavericks, the outcome is not certain. At the moment, the two sides are tied 2-2, and it is not certain who will win or lose.

However, Chinese fans are still looking forward to the Chinese derby, and when the CCTV reporter interviewed Ryan, he also asked Ryan who he wanted to play in the second round.

Because it was a Chinese reporter interviewing him, Ryan had something to say:

"To be honest, I don't really want to meet Yao Ming. Webb said he didn't want to retire early. ”

Although he said it in a joking tone, Ryan was also telling the truth.

The Warriors have always had a very good style of play against the Nuggets, because the Nuggets have always had a headache with strong interior finishers.

It's not like I'm afraid, but it's going to be very difficult to fight.

The reporter then asked: "What if you face the calf?" They're a 60-win team. ”

This time, Ryan was full of confidence:

"If we meet the Dallas Mavericks, basically, we can win!"

I thought that when I was interviewed by a Chinese reporter, I would not cause any criticism.

As a result, in the afternoon, the video of Ryan's interview went viral on the Internet.

The interview video is also captioned with English subtitles!

Ryan's sentence "We can basically win in the face of the Mavericks" naturally offended Mavericks fans.

After all, the Mavericks are one of five teams with 60 wins this season and the most wins against the Nuggets in the regular season — three!

The Nuggets lost 17 games in the regular season this season, and the Mavericks alone in 3 games.

Dallas fans were furious, and Cuban, the big-mouthed boss, was equally upset after watching the video.

As the second-highest team in the league in total salary this season, it's no wonder that Cuban spends so much money and is still looked down upon.

And you know, the Mavericks are second on the total salary list, not because Cuban is reluctant.

It's because the Knicks are really wronged!

Alan. Houston, Hardaway, Antonio. Davis, the league's top three junk contracts, are all in New York.

Excluding New York, which has problems with the brains of the management, the Mavericks are the first in salary!

Kuban then did not hesitate to respond in an interview:

"Basically, we can win against the Warriors and the Nuggets.

Especially the Nuggets!

Because they have been lost in Texas for the past two years! ”

The owner of Cuban personally went off the court to tear Ryan and let the fans talk about it.

Ryan didn't know what Cuban was doing with such an atmosphere.

I'm just telling the truth.

That's right, the Nuggets lost to the Mavericks three times in the regular season.

But precisely because he loses more, Bird also studies calves more.

Long before the playoffs began, Bird had already developed a series of plans against the Mavericks.

This is the same reason as a young girl feels pain but a young woman doesn't feel enough, why? It's because I've been soaked a lot, but I'm not afraid.

Every time he lost to the Mavericks, Bird summed up his experience and summed up the whole season.

It's no exaggeration to say that the Mavericks are one of the most prepared teams for the Nuggets!

So, don't look at the Mavericks' regular season record being better than the Warriors.

But Ryan felt from the bottom of his heart that he could win against the Dallas Cowboys!

I don't know if there is a feeling of anger in it, the series between the Mavericks and the Warriors G5, Nowitzki shot 13-of-19 with 36 points and 12 rebounds.

Lead the team to take Tianwang Mountain.

G6, Nowitzki made 11 of 20 shots, 15 of 16 free throws, and exploded with a luxurious double-double of 37 points and 15 rebounds!

In one breath, the Mavericks eliminated the Warriors in two consecutive games.

Jamison on the Warriors' side has been criticized by domestic fans as a Class A war criminal because he was directly blown up by Nowitzki and pulled the clean.

Domestic fans even came up with such a sticker buzzword: "Jamison must have no problem defending Nowitzki, but the crotch is a little yellow." ”

There is no way, in the original history, Jamison went to the Mavericks, and that could only give Nowitzki a sixth man existence.

Dirk of this period is the ultimate enhanced version of Jamison!

It's normal to blow him up.

And it's not just Dirk who is great, the reason why the Mavericks have such a high salary is because they have raised a group of top-level singles.

In addition to Nowitzki, they also have Terry, Josh. Howard, Jordan's apprentice Stackhouse.

Coupled with the up-and-coming Ryan son Harris, this makes the Mavericks' offense unguardable.

Yao Ming did his best to beat Dampier, the second center in the West, and Arenas also worked hard to score points.

But in the end, G6 still lost and was eliminated by the Mavericks 2-4!

Nowitzki's terrifying performance made Ryan's sentence "We win the Mavericks" even more untenable.

Cuban also bluntly said at the press conference on the night of the win over the Warriors:

"Ryan will soon be able to go back to China and talk to Yao Ming about how we feel about losing to us.

My task this year is to take the Chinese players home! ”

The next day, Cuban was on the front page of the world's sports media, yes, the world's sports media, including domestic ones.

And all the titles are surprisingly consistent:

"Cuban wants to send Chinese players home"!

You don't have to think about it to know how much this sentence has caused waves in China.

Stern couldn't have imagined that the NBA would completely explode in China in this way.

Ryan could tell that Cuban was really angry.

But.

Don't be angry first, because after watching the series. You may be on your knees begging me to join the Mavericks!

Bird's strategy against the Mavericks that he developed over the course of a season was to make Ryan so confident.

Thank you for the tips from the big guys such as the head of the family, thank you!
