The Nuggets lost two in a row on the road, but when they returned home, they immediately won four in a row.

This made the head coaches of all teams want to raise funds to invite a feng shui master to go to Pepsi Center to have a look!

This place is so wicked!

However, the feng shui master will probably shake his head when he sees it: "I can't see it, because there are a group of noble materialists over there!" ”

It's a headache all over the league right now, especially for teams in the West.

The Eastern team usually goes to PepsiCo once a season, but the Western team goes twice.

A team of 12 people, one person loses twice, that's equivalent to losing 24 times in a season at Pepsi Center! Not to mention the team, even the country can't afford this consequence!

Is it true that no one can take the victory at Pepsi Center?

Everyone knows that it's not easy to win 10 in a row at home.

Even if you can fight and win to the end every time you are evenly matched, how can you be sure that you won't be upset?

However, Mavericks, who are about to visit the Pepsi Center, are not afraid of this red base in the western United States.

After all, they've only just beaten Ryan's team!

Iverson said this in an interview:

"Ryan's team is very hard-working, and they don't take a stitch from the fans on the sidelines, so it's a very different team.

But whether it's on the road or at home against the Nuggets, it's no different for me. No matter where I play, I will give my best and win. ”

Terry said the same thing: "Whether it's in Dallas or Denver, the size of the basketball court is the same, the position of the basket is the same, and the rules of the game are the same. So for us, it's no different, we're still going to win. ”

When the reporter heard this, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "You mean that there are still places where the rules of basketball can be different?" ”

"Of course, for example, Klee. Forget it, when I didn't say it. In short, we will win at Pepsi Center! ”

AI and Terry's speeches are actually quite good, and they can't be said to be particularly crazy, at most they are confident.

But Josh. Howard's words are somewhat arrogant:

"You talk like Pepsi Center is invincible, and let me remind you that even the Bulls, the strongest team in history, with 72 wins, lost twice at home that season.

Even the 86 Celtics, have dropped a home game.

There is no team in the world that is unbeaten at home.

How? Do you think this Denver Nuggets can compete with the 72-win Bulls or the 86-win Celtics?

Just by Lane? Heh, he can't even compare to Jordan and Bird's little fingers.

So it's not that the Nuggets won't lose, it's just that they haven't met a really strong opponent at home.

I'll be with the team and show you what the real top teams are in the league. ”

Josh. How crazy is Howard? His words not only offended Nuggets fans, but directly came to the wave of attacks!

What does it mean that "the Nuggets are not going to lose, but they haven't met a really strong opponent at home"?

The translation of this sentence translates to the equivalent of "I'm not targeting the Nuggets, I'm saying that everyone in the league is all happy!" ”

Josh. It's not without reason that Howard is so crazy, and the Mavericks' record this season is indeed too good.

So far this season, the Mavericks' record is 13-2, which is better than the Nuggets' 12-3!

And this season, Josh. Howard, both in terms of playing time and exposure, is much higher than before.

The Mavericks have been invincible this season, and he is an integral part of this Maverick team. The most important thing is that he did help the team win against the Nuggets last time!

He's not crazy, who's crazy?

He's a bachelor right now, going to the bar and watching the DJ dance – look at the swell!

Of course, Josh. Howard didn't just swell because of the team's good record. The reason why he was able to limit Ryan a little in the last game, and why he was so crazy in this game, is also because he has the "reference answer" to defend Ryan.

Junior Johnson has been locked in his room in the offseason since he was bloodied by Ryan in the playoffs last season, watching Ryan's game footage, carefully studying frame by frame.

Finally, he spotted some details on Ryan's offensive end.

Ryan's breakthrough is often a one-shot deal, with no fancy dribbling, purely by the speed of the first step.

The first step can be sudden, and if you can't, you will be blind. Therefore, there are not many changes after Ryan holds the ball, and the main thing is to look at the center of gravity.

Whether Ryan is holding the ball, just receiving the ball or making a triple threat, as long as he lowers his center of gravity, he will definitely take the first step to break through. Howard just needs to lift the back and move and block.

Similarly, if Ryan doesn't press his center of gravity, no matter what feint he does, he will definitely shoot at the end, and there is no such thing as a sudden dribble change. When the time comes, just pay attention to blocking shots!

To put it bluntly, Ryan's rhythm changes little after holding the ball, and he can study it thoroughly as long as he studies it carefully.

It was with this strategy that Josh. Howard was only able to contain Ryan a little bit in the last game.

Today, he will still use this strategy against Ryan, making Ryan struggle on the offensive end.

The Mavericks are menacing, and the team with the best record in the league is ready to conquer PepsiCo Center.

The Rocky Mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the heavily armored knights can only barely attack halfway up the mountain and be defeated.

But the cowboys from Dallas are very confident in conquering this mountain!

Of course, various media outlets do not think that the Nuggets have no chance of winning, and they are not overwhelmingly optimistic about the Mavericks.

The Nuggets lost the last game, and the problem is not particularly complicated.

It boils down to the fact that Ryan is limited and doesn't have enough firepower to compete with the Mavericks, who have multiple singles points.

So it's very simple to solve the problem, just need the rest of the Nuggets to give Ryan more support in terms of firepower.

Bird is also arranged in this way, and in the next game, he needs the Nuggets to play more blossoming performances.

During the tactical meeting, he also told the players: "In the next game on the offensive end, everyone has to allocate time to shoot, and you can't keep rushing. When you feel that you can't stop the opponent's counterattack, take a break in time and don't continue to shoot. But don't stop completely, remember to use your tongue and small movements on your hands at the same time to continue attacking the other party! ”

Ryan felt that Bird's arrangement made sense, but he always felt that something was not quite right in his mouth.

How does it feel like I'm doing something at the same pace?

Bird also believes that the key to winning the next game is to give Ryan more firepower.

Don't let Ryan's score alone compete with the scores of several others.

AK47 immediately patted his chest after hearing this strategy: "Don't worry, I've been practicing with Ryan every day recently, and I've made great progress in three points and mid-distance!" ”

Ellis also came to Ryan's side: "Big brother, you know me, I never pull my crotch in key games." ”

Even the double-knife turkey rarely showed a strong desire to score: "With my hip attack on the root of the AI, I should be able to take him down steadily!" ”

Everyone put on a posture of wanting to take the Mavericks and continue the momentum of the unbeaten myth at home.

Ryan was also quite moved, Mina-san, our bond really can't be ignored!

The result of the next day's competition

"Missed again! Andre. Kirilenko has already made 0 of 3 shots at the beginning of the game today!

Terry defended Kirilenko very well and didn't give AK47 any chances! ”

Amid the shouts of the live narrator, Kirilenko looked at Ryan awkwardly and smiled apologetically.

At the beginning of today's game, Ryan focused on organization, after all, the strategy of this game requires him to get his teammates to actively integrate into the attack.

So, Ryan fed Kirilenko three times in a row after the start.

Kirilenko originally wanted to vent his offensive desire today and help Ryan share more pressure.

But today, Terry is inseparable from him.

The little general looked at Kirilenko three times and couldn't help but smile.

The little general is not an idiot, the whole world knows that the key to the Nuggets' victory is the need to bloom more, so can the little general not know?

In response to this strategy, he retaliated with a-for-tat today and was resolute on the defensive end!

Don't give role players a chance to score easily, forcing Ryan to single!

Last season, the Nuggets used this strategy to kill the Mavericks. This season, the little general wants to make the Nuggets pay for their blood debts!

Ryan is of course strong in singles, but it doesn't matter, he can't compete with the firepower of the Mavericks at all!

So today, the Mavericks didn't flank or defend Ryan at all, and the others didn't have too good opportunities.

Kirilenko was embarrassed to death, although Terry defended himself very well just now, but Terry was short after all. When AK47 shoots, Terry can barely interfere with his mouth.

As a result, this still does not go in!

And it's not one but not two, the AK47 direct triple shot all misses the target, which can be called a master of human strokes.

No way, Kirilenko is not an elite-level scorer after all. He's been training hard this season, but shooting consistency isn't something that can be significantly improved in a few days.

After the Mavericks went on a counterattack, Nowitzki received the basket from the right mid-range.

He knew that Ryan's stealing ability was average, so he boldly broke through the ground frame and dribbled to the middle, and made a floating shot.

Ryan had sealed it as much as he could, but the basketball eventually went into the net!

The goal gave the Mavericks a six-point lead, but six points weren't the scariest of all. The scariest thing is that the state of the German tank looks good today!

Just now, Ryan didn't have any problems defending, but Nowitzki was still able to shoot the ball.

For a player like Nowitzki, if he has a good hand, he can ignore the defense!

This can't help but make Nuggets fans even more worried.

Attacking disadvantage, plus a good-touch Nowitzki? this

One turn later, the Twin Blade Turkey tries to back-punch the AI.

But Iverson immediately cut the ball away the moment Miller turned and jumped!

Iverson is not the same as Harris last season, he is a three-time steal king after all!

Last season, Harris was beaten passively in the face of a double-knife turkey's hip attack.

But AI has the ability to take the initiative!

The Nuggets' offense missed again, but fortunately, after the Mavericks counterattacked, Josh. Howard's three-pointer also popped up and couldn't open up the gap.

Ryan grabbed the rebound himself and ran all the way to speed up the pace.

But Josh. Howard's stalking was so annoying that Ryan couldn't speed up, and he didn't dribble through the half court very smoothly.

In the end, Ryan took Webber's cover to break through and go straight into the Mavericks penalty area!

But Nowitzki and Dampier, the second center in the West, were both under the basket at this time. In addition to that, Josh. Howard is also chasing Ryan.

Even if Ryan is physically strong, it will be difficult for him to score in the three-man encirclement.

And right now, the Nuggets need to score efficiently.

In desperation, Ryan leaked the ball to Webb, who shot a mid-range jumper.

This is the Nuggets' first open shot of the day!

However, this is not a leak from the calf, but a deliberate act by the little general.

Webb is a point that the junior general thinks can be let go, and he doesn't necessarily have to be marked, and Webb's shooting percentage has been quite tight this season.

This season, Webber is averaging only 11.6 points per game, and injuries and aging have caused problems in the lower limbs, which has significantly reduced Webber's mid-range shooting percentage.

Sure enough, although it was an empty position, the basketball popped up again, and the Nuggets still failed to score!

Bird pouted, it seems that every step has been counted dead by the little general's guy, he really came prepared!

At this point, Big Bird looked at Ellis on the bench and leaned his neck at him.

Monta. Ellis was so excited to get on the pitch early that he immediately took off his training jersey and went to the technical bench to prepare.

On the court, Terry's breakthrough layup was directly fanned out of the baseline by None.

Dead Ball, Monta. Ellis comes on and replaces the two-knife turkeys.

When Ellis came on, his expression was focused.

This kind of desperate moment of father-son soldier scene is Monta. Ellis longed for it!

He fantasized countless times that when the rest of the team couldn't step up, when Ryan was in trouble, he would step up and change the game strongly, and then join forces with Ryan to send the other party to hell!

And today, this fantasy scene has finally appeared!

Fans are also interested in Monta. Ellis is full of anticipation, the last time he played the Cavaliers, the Nuggets' reversal was from Monta. Ellis started early.

Sure enough, as soon as Ellis came on the court, he stole the Mavericks' baseline serve!

He reacted quickly, biting the AI and reaching out to disrupt Dampier's pass to the AI early.

After completing the steal, Ellis immediately counterattacked with the ball in an attempt to push a fast break!

Ryan and Nuggets fans are very relieved, at least today, not everyone is so stretched!

The team's first goal of the day is coming!

Ellis was quick with the ball, but after reaching the free-throw line, Ellis's CPU seemed to suddenly burn.

I saw that he did not continue to push into the penalty area, nor did he make a stop-and-go jump shot, nor did he pass the ball to his teammates. Instead, he made an inexplicable stop, then turned around and dribbled back to the three-point line, and then shot directly at the AI's defense.

This operation that even Big McGee couldn't think of, was stunned by Ellis.

Needless to say, his three-point shot popped up directly under the interference of the AI.

The Nuggets' role players hit another hit!

Seeing that the first goal of the day was coming, and in the end it was missed in this way!

Bird looked at Ellis with cannibalistic eyes, and Ryan glared at Ellis viciously.

Ellis buried his head himself, and he knew he was out of it.

Just now, Ellis mainly felt that Iverson, who was less than 1.8 meters tall, was defending himself anyway, so why not just pull out a three-pointer?

So, Ellis made an inexplicable emergency stop, dribbled back to the three-point line, and shot directly.

Watching the basketball iron, Ellis also admitted that he may have been fighting between his left and right brains at that time!

Ellis made such an outrageous shot as soon as he came up, and that meant that

It will be very difficult for the Nuggets to rely on role players to provide firepower support to Ryan today!

That's why the NBA doesn't have 82 wins in a single season, nor does it win all at home in a single season.

Because of the basketball game, there is always an opponent who can target you!

Ryan is all convinced, Ellis what kind of Poole operation is this? Poole was a hunk who was caught by Kuzma in the locker room watching the royal movie, and he just finished a shot and his brain was not clear.

But you Ellis don't seem to have a habit of watching art films before games in the locker room.

Monta. After Ellis hit the iron in that unbelievable way, Dampier grabbed the rebound and switched to the Mavericks to attack.

This time, the Mavericks didn't waste another chance to pull away from the score.

The AI used a feint from outside the three-point line to shake Kirilenko's center of gravity and immediately broke through, and scored a layup against Webb's defense!

Mavericks start with an 8-point lead!

Junior General Johnson was triumphant, and his defensive strategy today worked very well!

If the Nuggets want to score next, they can only let Ryan single!

The Nuggets can only play as my little general wants!

The little general, of course, doesn't expect Josh. Howard can completely defend Ryan, but just like in the last game, Howard only needs to contain Ryan's offense a little, and Ryan's firepower can't compete with the Mavericks!

Josh. After Howard glanced at the live score, he shook his head and prepared to make an impromptu diss and humiliate Ryan with his tongue.

But before he could speak, he was covered by Iverson:

"I know what you want to do, but you'd better not do that!"

Iverson knew very well that Ryan was the kind of person he couldn't mess with.

Don't look at the team leading now, and it's still playing smoothly. But Dan Van Josh. Howard is now trash talking at Ryan, and this game could become very dangerous!

The scene where Iverson covers Howard's mouth was also captured by the on-site camera.

The on-site commentators all smiled: "It seems that the AI knows very well that no matter how many points ahead, it must not annoy Ryan!" ”

After the lecture, Denver live commentary Chris. Marlowe smiled, the last person who had this kind of deterrent power and made others dare not even talk trash when they were ahead was probably Jordan, right?

But where can the young and vigorous Howard manage so much, Lao Tzu is 8 points ahead, afraid of a hammer!

After the AI took his hand away, Howard immediately sprayed at Ryan:

"Today, I'm going to smash the Pepsi Center!"

Iverson glared at Josh. Howard glanced at it and cursed MMP in his heart.

Okay, yes, you have to make this game more difficult!

What a idiot!

Young people who are on the rise are like this, they are not afraid of heaven and earth.

Last season's Josh. Howard Shang didn't dare to beep with Ryan yet.

But this season's Josh. Howard, it's already starting to be empty.

Bird didn't pause the game, just nodded at Ryan.

This action means: "Don't organize, you can attack as much as you want!" ”

Since the opponent gives the singles a chance, it can only be used first!

Although it is known that Ryan will have a hard time competing with the Mavericks in so many singles.

But at the moment, there is only this way, in short, we must break the scoring drought first!

So after attacking, Ryan did not pass again after receiving the basketball at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, but gestured and signaled everyone to pull away!

Seeing this, the little general smiled proudly.

Josh. Howard is quite confident, after all, he went to the exam room with the reference answers, do you say he can not be confident?

He thinks he has mastered Ryan's attacking habits completely.

Ryan began to dribble and slowly faced the basket. Then, Ryan leaned forward, pressed his shoulders very low, and stepped forward in one step.

Lower your center of gravity! All of these actions prompt Josh. Howard, Ryan is going to break through!

So he immediately took a step back, ready to defend Ryan's breakthrough.

But as soon as he stepped back, Ryan pulled straight up from the ground. This induces Josh. Howard's retreating fake and real throw made Bird's eyes shine!

However, it is not enough to induce the other person to retreat.

This kind of trick of suddenly pulling up the real shot after a false burst, and it is not so simple to have a stable hit rate.

But Ryan has no problem with that, after all, he has just reaped Maddie's talent for drying.

I saw that Ryan threw the ball very smoothly, because Josh. Howard was deceived into taking a step back, so there was no time to interfere.

In this way, Ryan hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line to break the scoring drought for the Nuggets!

In the first round of singles, Ryan scored easily!

Josh. Howard was a little surprised, why didn't my "reference answer" work?

Ryan just lowered his center of gravity, why did he suddenly jump shot?

Ryan stared at the startled Howard and shook his head at him, "You should listen to the AI, little ghost!" Don't yell at me, you're not qualified! ”

"!" Josh. Howard was breasted again, although he was a rookie in the class of '03 at the same time as Ryan, but because he played four years in college, he was older than Ryan.

As a result, that guy actually called himself a little ghost!

Damn, it must have been a coincidence!

Don't think you'll win me by scoring a goal once in a while.

Today, Lao Tzu will inevitably strangle you on the defensive end!

The game continued, and the Nuggets were also using a man-to-man defensive strategy.

The AI went on to single out Kirilenko, who this time used a beautiful crossover past the Russian before going straight into the box.

But Kirilenko is very aggressive, and the AI certainly knows how terrifying Kirilenko's block range is for the only outside block king in history. In this case, rash layups will only take risks.

Therefore, after the AI entered the three-second zone, it did not directly strengthen itself, but made a fake throwing move.

Weber was deceived by this feint, but Kirilenko did not!

He didn't shake the first shot, and when Iverson really jumped up for the second time and made a layup, Kirilenko stretched out his arms and jumped hard!

"AI is strong under the basket. Catch the risk! Kirilenko jumped on the spot and grabbed Iverson's layup!

God, the only reason Kirilenko doesn't take DPOY is because DPOY is Ryan! ”

Not to mention Denver live commentary Chris. What about Marlowe's majors? He is directly boasting one and getting one free in this wave!

While blowing the AK47, don't forget to blow the Ryan.

AK47 grabbed the basketball and handed the ball to Monta. Ellis, and roar!

His desire to continue winning at home is stronger than that of Ryan. Since the offensive end doesn't feel good today, let's pull the intensity of the defensive end to the full!

Ellis possessed the ball just after half-time when Ryan, who was at the top of the arc, raised his hand and began to ask for the ball.

Ellis obediently passed the ball over and Ryan was going to continue with Josh. Howard heads-up!

Josh. Howard was still fully focused, and he vowed to save face with a good defense.

However, Ryan had already started kicking him in the face with his foot:

"This time, I'm going to shoot from outside the three-second zone, so you don't have to worry about me breaking to the basket."

As he spoke, Ryan pointed to the position of a step inside the three-point line.

Bird shook his head, feeling a sense of shame as he looked at his QQ space after work.

Wasn't it like that back then?

Josh. Howard didn't believe Ryan's nonsense, Ryan just wanted to lure himself to prevent a breakout, and then wait for an opportunity to break through, I'm not so stupid!

Ryan holds the ball in both hands and lowers his center of gravity, then starts to the right! Josh. Howard scolded secretly, you really want to break through!

He immediately moved sideways to block, but Ryan just made a triple threat feint, but in fact accelerated to the left side to break through!

Howard hastily moved sideways to the other side, ready to continue to block Ryan. But Ryan just took a small step forward and just stepped into the three-point line, and Ryan pulled it straight again! The triple threat is dry pulled out after one step, and the whole action is very smooth!

Josh. Howard's eyes widened, why did this guy have completely different offensive options from the last time they met!

Josh. Howard hastily reached out to interfere, and from the audience's point of view, Ryan was on top of Josh. Howard made a strong shot.

But actually, Josh. Howard's interference is simply useless.

The basketball spun and flew towards the basket, and from the perspective of the audience, the fans couldn't help but be a little nervous:

"Ryan dealt with Josh. Howard, can you only rely on dry pulling? This offensive stability is completely unguaranteed! ”

The next second: "Brush!" ”

"Ryan takes a step inside the three-point line and pulls a jumper again! It turns out that the position that Ryan pointed to just now is exactly where he shoots!

Ryan told Josh ahead of time. Howard himself will shoot somewhere, but Josh. Howard still didn't guard against Ryan!

Ryan scored 5 points in a row, and the score bit again!

Ryan seems to have entered some kind of wanton singles mode today! ”

Ryan also turned his head to look at the junior Johnson after scoring the goal:

"You'd better not keep letting this idiot defend me alone! Because to blow up your bunch of singles, I'll be enough alone! ”

The usefulness of the new skills is far beyond Ryan's expectations!

Although it was only two rounds, those two balls had completely made Ryan play with confidence.

Today, singles Josh. Howard is no longer difficult for him!

Slightly restrictive? No, that idiot can't even do it with a slight limit!

It's really a bit difficult for an average player to match the firepower of a team, but it's a bit difficult for Ryan, who has become stronger again.

Why not!?

Ryan rubbed his hands, insisting on single defense?

Well, then don't blame me for getting high scores!

Thank you for the tips from Cerberus_dove and other bigwigs, thank you!
