The Spurs held the lead from the beginning of the second quarter before coming back in the final minute.

It's not hard to imagine how Popovich was at this time.

Spurs fans are also extremely upset at this time, the 3-1 that was clearly in hand is now suddenly 2-2!

It feels like you were still in a luxury car the year before, and by the way, you married an 18-year-old wife who wore yoga pants to give you a every day. As a result, a year later, if you say bankrupt, you will be bankrupt!

Originally, the Spurs won the match point 3-1, but now it's okay, and they are forced to go to Tianwang Mountain!

Should I say it or not, Ryan is indeed much stronger than before.

Let's just say that the key attack that opened up the point difference, in the face of the Spurs' strategy of directly covering the spurs after blocking and dismantling, Ryan last season was helpless.

At the beginning of the season, Ryan could only break down this defense with passing.

But now in this playoffs, Ryan can directly rely on speed to break through the bag before it is formed!

Further back, Ryan's key steals and key blocks were even more perfect.

Anticipation, traversing, liaison with teammates. On every move on the defensive end, Ryan walked like a chess grandmaster with precision!

is worthy of a man who often plays chess with female stars in a hotel room for the rest of the night.

Bird's arrangement is also important, but if Ryan is not capable of carrying it out, then all the arrangements will be nothing more than empty talk.

You let him actively defend himself, but he spread his hands and waists, and it was useless no matter how well he arranged it.

In both G2 and G3, the Spurs relied on some of the Nuggets' defensive holes to win at critical moments.

But today in G4, when Bird and Ryan have done everything defensively, the Spurs don't have the slightest chance!

In today's key round of the game, the Spurs are completely defeated!

Popovich must now admit that Ryan has indeed been strong enough this season.

Strong enough to win against the Spurs!

Originally, Popovich thought that he could continue to take out the Nuggets as easily as before.

But today, with Ginobili and Duncan both playing well, Ryan was stunned to close the game at a critical moment.

It will undoubtedly be very difficult for the Spurs to win the series now by hard power.

The easiest way to do that is. Can't let the Nuggets have Ryan!

How is it not a tactic to deal with the strongest person on the other side?

Spurs have won a lot of tough battles with this!

Both the supersonic and the sun were killed by this tactic.

What? You asked the Spurs why they didn't get Kobe Bryant if they were so afraid of Kobe?

Is that a spur not to get it? I can't do it!

In the first game of the Western Conference semifinals in '02, Bowen once cushioned Kobe Bryant back to the locker room.

But the old thief didn't have long to be happy when he saw Kobe Bryant coming back from the players' tunnel. Moreover, there is an expression on his face that he wants to eat people.

And then there was no then, and the enraged Kobe Bryant scored 20 points on 44% shooting in that game where the defense was terrifying and the whole team shot less than 40%, helping the Lakers take away the game.

and in the original history of the 08 Western Conference Finals, the Spurs were also abused by Kobe Bryant.

Even though Duncan has expanded his defensive range and often runs out to help defend Kobe, he still can't hold him.

So when he hit the back, Bowen's shot to Kobe Bryant was almost every shot!

No matter how strong Kobe Bryant's ability is, you will also know who my Bowen is the moment you land!

The Spurs were originally going to let Kobe Bryant also experience a wave of landing into a box, but they didn't know that the Lakers had predicted the Spurs' prediction, and they had long expected that the Spurs would make a bad move if they were in a hurry.

Therefore, the coaching staff has long trained Kobe Bryant to prevent padding, and changed Kobe's landing method!

Although Bryant didn't always avoid Bowen's superb footwork, he still got padded occasionally.

But at least Kobe Bryant finally finished the Western Conference finals in good health and killed the Spurs 4-1!

Therefore, the Spurs didn't want to get Kobe, but they really couldn't get it.

As it turns out, when the Spurs come across a player they can't solve, they get on the wrong track.

At this point, Popovich had a crooked mind about Ryan.

Only this time.

Bird's previous warning made Popovich feel uneasy.

If Bird really retaliates for getting rid of Duncan, then there is no point in the Spurs reaching the Finals.

After all, who would take the runner-up as an honor.

The old thief didn't want to squeeze into the finals, but he ended up being a foil for others.

Popovich is very entangled right now, on the one hand, Ryan has become a huge threat. Don't let him have any accidents, Spurs are too dangerous.

On the other hand, he is afraid that he will also lose his star in the house.

This feeling of being held by others is really uncomfortable!

Popovich can only wait and see what happens, after all, the Spurs will not necessarily lose in the next battle of Tianwang Mountain.

If you can't hold the situation anymore, it's never too late to do it!

After this game, the 2-2 situation made the series even more tense.

The battle of Tianwang Mountain in Denver naturally became the key to whether Ryan could achieve justice.

However, before that, many fans had already binged online in advance, thinking that the Spurs would definitely overturn in Tianwang Mountain.

After all, in the last round of Tianwang Mountain, the Spurs relied on the absence of Xiao Si and Dio on the Sun's side to win by 3 points.

And in this round of the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Nuggets are a full lineup!

Spurs can't afford to take advantage of this!

For a while, the Internet was full of ridicule from fans:

"I don't dare to use off-board moves this time, the Spurs are completely out of line, hahahaha!"

"I want to see what the Spurs can do to win the battle of Tianwang Mountain in this round!"

"If you don't use shady tricks, spurs are not farts! Wait to be thrust wildly by a hot and hard soldering iron! ”

Naturally, Popovich was quite angry, what are you guys telling the truth!

Lao Tzu is already worried about not daring to mess with Ryan now, can you stop adding fuel to the fire!

If it's just the fans who say it, forget it, the key Ryan also mocked the Spurs with this in an interview:

"Unless I'm injured or my teammates are banned, the Spurs won't have a chance of winning the Battle of Kings Mountain!

Everyone knows how Spurs got to this point. ”

Popovich watched the news and told himself over and over again not to pass out.

He has also been comforting himself that the Spurs can still win the Nuggets by hard power.

In the last game, I only lost by 3 points!

But Popovich underestimated Ryan's desire to win at this point.

Let's put it this way, Ryan's desire for victory at this time is about the same as a single author's desire for a wife.

finally forced the spurs up the mountain, how can there be any reason for them to survive?

So in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Popovich was desperate to find that Lane was completely unable to hold back!

The Nuggets' first-round offense after the start of today's game actually released this signal.

At that time, after Ryan broke through with cover, he met Duncan and Bowen as always.

Horry, meanwhile, has also swam into the penalty area, ready to help defend Webb who is down the frame.

The Spurs thought they had everything defensively.

As a result, Ryan didn't pass the ball, but suddenly stopped and jumped under the defense of the two!

Although Ryan's mid-range shooting attribute is already 98, he has no anti-interference talent fragments, so he can't reach the point of ignoring defensive shots at will.

As a result, Ryan rarely makes strong shots.

Normally, Ryan will try to get rid of the defense before making a shot.

But this ball, Ryan's unreasonably difficult shot, but under the interference of Bowen and Duncan, he hit it steadily!

As soon as he came up, Ryan broke the Spurs' defense!

Bird wasn't surprised by this, and in the previous four games, Ginobili broke out three and Horry broke out two.

Today, it's the Nuggets player's turn to break out!

You can't let you spur all the good things, right?

A turn later, Ryan received a pass from Webb in the middle distance position on the right, and the moment he received the ball, he lifted the ball directly over his head to shoot.

But Bowen felt that Ryan would be a fake shot, because Ryan didn't completely get rid of the defense and wouldn't have made such an easy shot.

He must have wanted to point up the defense and wait for an opportunity to break through!

So Bowen didn't jump up to block the ball, but just rushed to Ryan and reached out to interfere.

Unexpectedly, Ryan jumped directly to the jump shot when Bowen was in front of him!

Because Bowen stretched out his arms early and stood very close to Ryan, even if he didn't jump, it had a certain distraction effect.

But Ryan was stunned and threw the ball steadily when there was no shooting space at all, completely ignoring the interference!

It's true that Ryan doesn't have anti-interference talent fragments, but the mid-range shooting attribute of 98 is enough to support Ryan to score some fairy balls when he occasionally feels good!

Ryan just can't eat difficult shots like Jordan did.

But there is still a basis for occasionally eating difficult shots as desserts!

If you want to say that Ryan relied on the three-point ability of 78 to draw a three-point as accurate as Curry, it is really impossible.

But 98's mid-range shooting ability is occasionally pumped, and there is nothing wrong with it!

With the opening two goals, Ryan had already set the tone for the game.

Bird was sure it would be the night of Ryan's career!

The young lion king can't wait to tear up the opponent in front of him who stopped him twice!

Sure enough, Ryan was completely crazy in the game that followed.

His mid-range jumper is ridiculously accurate, and the more accurate Ryan is, the more confident he becomes, the more daring he is to shoot, and he has all kinds of face-to-face appearances against Bowen.

At the end of the first quarter, Ryan scored 12 points in a single quarter!

Ryan's mid-range shooting is hot, which is quite lethal for the Spurs' defense.

The whole world knows that the Spurs' defensive system is not to give you easy breaks, nor to give you a chance to string up teams, but to give you 1-on-1 mid-range strong shots.

That's why the Spurs are so afraid of Kobe Bryant's mid-range heads-up master.

In the first two seasons, Ryan was not a good mid-distance one-on-one. Therefore, the Spurs are also not very afraid of Ryan.

But today, Ryan really shot the Spurs in the middle distance!

Popovich didn't change his defensive strategy during the break before the start of the second quarter, and he didn't believe Ryan's hot touch would carry over into the second quarter.

The time between the intersections will definitely cool down Ryan's hands.

The result came in the second quarter of the first round

"It's in again! Ryan's shooting touch today is simply amazing!

It seems that he is about to bury the spurs on the icy Tianwang Mountain!

Ryan shot immediately after hanging the screen, and Duncan's change of defense was already quite in place, forming a disturbance!

But today, there is no way for the Stone Buddha of the Holy City to stop him! ”

As soon as the second quarter came up, Ryan scored again with a difficult shot.

Popovich's face was pale, and many fans were secretly refreshed.

When Ginobili broke out and killed the game with one match-fixing after another, the fans of the other teams were also very uncomfortable.

Today, he Popovich has experienced this feeling as well!

In the second quarter, Lane's hand not only did not cool down, but intensified, and he scored 13 points in a single quarter!

Half time is already 25 points!

The Nuggets also led by Ryan and led by 11 points at halftime!

Ryan's outburst today caught Popovich off guard, and also caught the fans and Mike off guard. Brin couldn't be more excited:

"I thought that Ryan's performance at the critical moment in the last game was magical enough, but I didn't expect it to be just a warm-up!

With 25 points at halftime, Ryan has broken his career record for scoring points in a half in a playoff game!

He's always reminding the world that I'm the MVP of the season! ”

Lane's half-time performance once again flashed through Popovich's mind to use some means to stop Lane.

But because he was afraid of losing Duncan, Popovich still endured.

However, Popovich will certainly not let Ryan continue to attack like this.

In the second half, he finally changed his defensive strategy. When Ryan has the ball, he asks the players to pinch Ryan directly!

After the start of the third quarter, Ryan's scoring pace was indeed delayed.

No matter how good the hand feels, Ryan can't shoot every ball against the defense of two people.

But the Nuggets' scoring pace was not delayed!

Faced with the Spurs' almost frantic pinch attack, Ryan began to find teammates in the open slots.

The tacit understanding of fighting side by side for a season, as well as the passing attributes that have been wildly accumulated last summer, allow Ryan to find his teammates who have been released in the bag with his eyes closed!

And, after passing more in the second half, Ryan also began to actively fight for offensive rebounds.

In the first two quarters, because Ryan himself was the endpoint, he couldn't quickly run to the basket to grab rebounds after shooting from mid-range.

But in the third quarter, because Ryan became a dresser, he was often the first to appear under the basket after his teammates shot.

In the third quarter alone, Ryan grabbed three offensive rebounds!

Among them, the offensive rebound in the seventh minute of the third quarter made the battle-hardened Popovich show a confused expression.

At the time, Webb was striking iron in a mid-pitch at 45° on the right. Ryan rushed to the basket along the baseline and jumped up on the right side of the basket to grab the board.

Unexpectedly, after the basketball hit the iron, it bounced to the left side of the basket.

Anyone who has ever played basketball knows that a bad rebounding position basically means that there is no chance of getting a rebound 99% of the time.

But Lane today staged that 1% chance!

I saw Ryan quickly fly from the right side of the basket to the left, relying on the bounce height and arm span to catch the basketball one step ahead of Horry.

I thought this was the end, but after Lane grabbed the rebound, he turned 180° in the air, rounded his arm and smashed the ball directly into the basket! Ryan's wave is equivalent to a 180° buckle in the air!

Popovich is convinced, and he can still grab the rebound from the wrong rebounding position, and Nima still makes up the dunk directly?

Ryan, you're not human!

Seeing that the score that finally returned to single digits was pulled to 11 points because of this unreasonable supplementary dunk, Popovich wanted to die!

This system bureau! It's just fake!

In the entire third quarter, Ryan scored only 7 points under the Spurs' tight defense.

But with 4 assists and 4 rebounds in a single quarter, the full-court statistics have come to 32 points, 6 assists and 7 rebounds!

The Spurs wanted to hold Ryan, but the hurricane had already rolled up, and it was too late!

Ryan in the battle of Tianwang Mountain has completely entered the killing mode!

All San Antonio fans can watch as Ryan pulls off one unbelievable maneuver after another, topping up with defensive mid-range shots, timely assists, and sky-defying rebounds and blocks

They even had the terrible phantom of number 23 flash in their minds!

This all-encompassing reign of terror, this angry expression, this desperate game.

With Mike. Brin's words: "Ryan was at his peak today, Jordan was playing in the number 0 jersey!" ”

can't hold it back, the whole world can see that the Spurs can no longer hold Ryan as they did in the previous two years!

The difference came to 13 points, and if the Spurs couldn't make any changes in the fourth quarter, then the match point would be firmly won by the Nuggets!

Popovich struggled on the bench, struggling with himself.

If it goes on like this, Ryan will definitely kill the game.

We have to think of a way, we have to come up with a way to contain Lane!

So during the break, Popovich finally walked up to Bowen!

The old man didn't say anything, just stared at Bowen for a few seconds.

But Bowen knew what to do next as soon as he looked at him, and nodded silently.

Seeing that Popovich finally gave the order, Bowen was ecstatic!

He's wanted to Ryan for a long time!

Great show? A big victory in Tianwang Mountain? A night of legends?

I'm sorry Ryan, but you won't be able to get any of that!

Popovich also wants to gamble, what if Bird is just hard-mouthed? Maybe he didn't dare to take the risk of touching Duncan.

After all, there are few people in the entire league who know better than Bowen how to hurt people without being punished.

By the time Popovich and Bowen were ready to direct their best show, countless fans had already blown up Ryan online.

"It's incredible! The Ryan of Tianwang Mountain is simply a historical-level strong! ”

"With 32 points, 6 assists and 7 rebounds in the third quarter, Ryan deserves to be the MVP! Justice is finally being done in Denver! ”

"What am I talking about? The Spurs can't win without relying on shady tricks! ”

Ryan's performance on the night of his career has already shaken the whole world.

Everyone is confident that after this night, Ryan will add a new chapter to the legend of his career!

Fans all over the world are looking forward to Ryan's performance in the fourth quarter, but in the fourth quarter, the Nuggets' first attack, the Spurs did something that made fans around the world hate it!

At that time, Ryan received the ball from outside the three-point line on the right side and shot directly from distance after getting a chance through a series of off-ball runs as usual.

Bowen actively pounced and jumped up to interfere.

He landed before Ryan, but after landing, he unnecessarily moved forward and shoved his foot into the place where Ryan landed!

However, this time Ryan was lucky, landing on his feet just to avoid Bowen, and there were no accidents on the court.

But everyone with a discerning eye saw Bowen's actions just now, In the CCTV studio, Su Qun complained: "Bowen is going to do bad things again!" ”

Ryan looked at Bowen and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Ryan didn't react, Popovich suddenly became bold!

Since the other side does not resist. Of course, it's a matter of inches!

This time it was just Ryan's luck that he didn't step on Bowen. But next time, he will die!

Popovich, who was in ecstasy, didn't notice that Bird had already clapped his hands in the other half.

Hi mouth? Don't dare?

No, Bird always does what he says!

The Spurs attacked, and their most stable point of attack today was still Duncan.

Parker also put the ball straight inside and gave Duncan a back-to-back single Webb.

Webber tried his best to defend, but Duncan, who felt that Weber's center of gravity was too high, turned his back directly, easily passed Webb, and entered the penalty area!

Duncan jumped up and went straight to the basket, and there was no room for foul play in this ball, because Duncan had already smashed the ball to the basket.

Even if it is a foul, there is a high probability that Duncan will be given a 2+1.

But Nene was still like a crazy bull, sprinting to the basket without hesitation, jumping up, and slamming Duncan directly to the ground in the air!

Because he couldn't support his center of gravity in the air, Duncan was directly knocked parallel to the floor, and then fell hard!

Duncan's arm landed on the ground first, and he was under tremendous pressure. The moment he fell to the ground, Duncan's arm slammed into the ground and then bounced high, making Popovich's face pale with fright!

This foul of the bad boy army against Jordan made all Spurs fans break out in a cold sweat!

Looking at Duncan who was lying on the ground struggling, fans all over the world knew that Bird was not a mouthful!

In the second round of Bowen's attempt to make a move on Ryan, Bird immediately retaliates!

He does what he says!

Duncan lay on the ground clutching his arms, unable to stand up in pain for a long time.

The referee also immediately gave Nene a first-degree malicious foul.

But Bird doesn't care, a first-degree malicious foul for a Duncan, if Popovich is willing, then Bird is willing!

The Nuggets really don't have the kind of player like Bowen who can stealthily hurt people and get away with it.

But. Bird doesn't care if it's secret or not!

Even if Nene and Duncan exchange one for one at the limit, it is the Spurs who will suffer!

Popovich was directly stupefied, and Lane had already made him experience the feeling of watching the opposing players play superbly. Now, Nene has made him feel the feeling of being maliciously violated by his core star 11 years in advance!

This round of the Nuggets really treated them in the way of others!

Thankfully, Duncan wasn't in trouble. After a moment of pause on the ground, he stood up again.

But even so, Popovich hurriedly called Bowen to his side: "Bruce, stop, terminate the plan!" Don't touch Ryan again! ”

Bird's guy is here for real, Popovich doesn't dare to risk Duncan again!

Although Nene took a first-degree malicious foul, if he was whistled for another malicious foul, he would be directly sent off the court, or even an additional ban.

But Popovich didn't dare to gamble on Duncan's health, what if a foul was committed and Nene really hurt Duncan? At that time, there will be no point in giving Nene 10 malicious fouls!

Seeing Popovich pull Bowen to his side and whisper, Bird knew that it was a beep!

This also means that in the future, nothing can stop Ryan's destined great performance!

When the Spurs really can't use off-the-board moves to deal with the characters who give them a headache, their only end is destruction!

If you don't kill me, I'll kill you.

The fourth quarter will be Ryan's execution time!
