167 : A key game on the road to Forbes No. 1 to beat Kobe Bryant where he does best?
Kobe Bryant and Ryan, the two men most likely to take the No. 1 spot in the West this season.
Therefore, the game between the Nuggets and the Lakers has always been on the list of "most anticipated games" by fans.
Although the two sides have already played each other once this season, the Nuggets were using the "Lotto Team Experience Card" last time, so it can't really be considered a winner.
And this time, the Nuggets and Lakers can finally fight each other with a full lineup!
Who is the king of the west this year, this game will be able to tell!
Of course, Ryan also knows that the current Lakers are not yet a complete roster.
There is no sister-in-law in this house, can the taste of dumplings be right?
The Lakers without Gasol are indeed strong, but they are not complete after all.
So Ryan has to win even more, if the Lakers can't even beat without Gasol, then after Gasol joins, the Nuggets will win?
This time, Ryan is going to settle the last account anyway!
In the last game, Kobe Bryant won at Pepsi Center, which was called a show of power and arrogance.
won the Nuggets by more than ten points, not to mention, after the game, he deliberately stared at Ryan on the sidelines in the interview session and said cruel words.
Ryan didn't say anything at the time, because he was all about truth.
It's not interesting to force Lai Lai in the air, just fight to know who is the bear!
Ryan was excited about this trip to Staples.
Even if they won this game, they still couldn't make the Nuggets climb directly to the first place in the West.
But at least they can win the first place in the west once and prove their strength!
The day before the game, Ryan and his team arrived in Los Angeles to get treated like a Celtic.
On both sides of the street, countless Los Angeles fans held up signs with abusive words and yelled at the Nuggets team bus.
It's also a shame that the route of the team bus is basically in the city center, otherwise it would not be surprising that there are excited fans who throw peanuts at the team bus to feed Milane.
The whole of Los Angeles has hated the Nuggets this season, after all, the Nuggets are the defending champions and the biggest obstacle to the Lakers regaining dominance in the West.
The existence of the Nuggets is a stumbling block to the rise of the Lakers.
Los Angeles fans have waited too long, and they are also very angry to watch Ryan, a young man, do whatever he wants in the West all these years.
Now that the team finally has the strength, it is natural to pick out the former king and re-wear the crown of the west!
On the night he arrived in Los Angeles, Ryan didn't have dinner with the team.
but in Leon. Led by Ross, he attended a business dinner.
In the territory of Los Angeles, there is never a shortage of such dinners.
And such dinners are often full of opportunities.
It would be a waste to come to Los Angeles just to play basketball.
At the dinner, many manufacturers and brand owners expressed their intention to cooperate with Ryan.
Although he said that he was intentional, he didn't mention much about signing a contract.
Can Ryan not understand the mind of this group of blood-sucking capitalists?
If you want to let the live broadcast be rewarded, you must not rub the edges?
Similarly, if you want them to sign as your spokesperson, you need to show enough explosive performance.
"Interested in cooperating" means that I want to see Ryan's results in the last few games!
In the last few games, because Ryan has played a strong team, if the Nuggets can win consecutive games, it can basically show that Ryan does have a chance to win three consecutive championships!
At that time, this group of bigwigs will turn into licking dogs in seconds, begging Ryan to send him money.
The flow of three consecutive crowns, this is definitely something that no one will let go.
When Ryan's influence takes off, the brand he endorses will also explode.
It's also the end of the year now, and if Ryan wants to hit the top of the Forbes sports list, he must win these key games!
Among them, the contract with Pepsi has to be finalized.
Because Ryan's contract with Coca-Cola expired during his rookie season, Ryan is now free to choose a brand to join.
Pepsi is very willing to spend money, when Coca-Cola is still talking about cooperation with Ryan with a regular offer of 20 million in 6 years.
Pepsi has been quoted to 58 million for 6 years!
If signed, it would be the biggest drink endorsement contract in NBA history!
The endorsement fee is close to 10 million a year!
Pepsi Cola, firstly, wants to use Lane to enhance its global influence, and secondly, it mainly wants to develop the Chinese market.
During this period, Pepsi wasn't just chasing Ryan.
Almost all the popular entertainment stars in the Chinese-speaking region are basically under the command of Pepsi, which is simply an all-star lineup.
What yellow chocolate, what photographer, what Aaron Kwok, what F4, are all spokespersons for Pepsi.
Of course, Da Yao also signed a contract with Pepsi early.
Their ad is simply Ryan's memories of the same year.
Now there is one Ryan missing, and the Pepsi lineup is completely invincible in China, and even in the entire Asian region!
Therefore, they will do whatever it takes to take Ryan and put together this last and most important piece of the puzzle.
This is enough to crush Coca-Cola in the Asian market!
With the help of nearly 10 million contracts this year, plus the Walmart endorsement contract given by the real financier behind the Nuggets boss.
Ryan's overtaking Tiger Woods this year is no longer a fantasy!
But Leon. Rose has clearly told Ryan more than once that all of this will only fall into Ryan's pocket after the capital sees the prospect of a triple championship.
Therefore, Ryan's game against the Lakers and Green Kai cannot be lost.
Because both of them have won the Nuggets by double digits, and they are the biggest obstacles on the way to the Nuggets' championship.
One could be a Finals opponent and the other could be a Western Conference Finals opponent.
If you can't beat them, the Nuggets' three consecutive championships will be in vain, and capital will no longer be optimistic about Ryan.
It's the No. 1 position in the West and the temptation of No. 1 Forbes.
Ryan will definitely fight Kobe Bryant in the game against the Lakers!
The next day, the night the game began.
Both Ryan and Bryant entered with solemn faces.
Taylor. Swift was on the sidelines again, and she happened to be in Los Angeles today to discuss the MVP shooting with the director, so she took time to come over in the evening.
It's just that in Los Angeles, where the stars are shining, the light on Mildew looks a lot dimmer.
Jack carrying a glass of beer. Nicholson looked at the young girl beside him and greeted him politely.
Originally, everything was quite normal, but after saying hello, Nicholson changed his words:
"Girl, I won't hand you a tissue when you cry later."
Swift was a little surprised, but quickly reacted
I was very brave today and wore a Nuggets No. 0 jersey and sat in the front row of the Staples Center!
And Nicholson is a die-hard Lakers fan.
As entertainers, they maintain basic courtesy.
But as fans, the position of the two can be said to be incompatible!
So Mildew responded to Nicholson with a smile: "In the first round of the 06 playoffs G4, Kobe Bryant was defended by Ryan and scored 1 point in the half. So, we'll see, Jack. Hopefully, tonight, Kobe Bryant won't come back to that again. ”
Jack. Nicholson didn't expect that this little girl would be so good at this kind of data!
In fact, this data mold was also accidentally seen when I was checking the information on the Internet.
Of all Ryan's opponents, there are only 3 that impress Mildew the most.
One half-time Kobe Bryant with 1 point, and one full-court 0-point Kidd.
and Ajan, who is particularly humiliating in almost every game against Ryan.
From this point of view, James's fame is indeed on an equal footing with Ryan!
After getting Nicholson, Mildew yelled at Ryan on the field: "Rush my lion!" ”
Lakers fans cast unfriendly glances, arrogant, too arrogant!
But that's okay, they don't mind watching a female singer walk out of Staples crying!
At this time, the referee signaled the two starters to gather in the center circle, and the game was about to begin.
Bryant walked around the halfway line without a smile, his eyes full of cold-bloodedness unique to predators.
The Black Mamba has already bared its fangs, and if Ryan is not careful, he will be killed on the spot because of the poison!
And Bird and Zen Master, these two must have found a way to deal with each other.
Ryan took a deep breath, this game is destined to be a meat grinder-like war.
The Lakers starters are in place, and without Gasol, the Lakers' starters are Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Odom and Bynum.
This lineup is already strong even without Gasol, because there are two differences in this lineup compared to the original history.
That is, neither Ariza nor Bynum are injured!
Don't look at the stats of these two guys this season, but the series of butterfly effects caused by their absence is precisely the reason why the Lakers lost to the Celtics in the Finals.
Bynum's absence caused the Lakers to have to push Gasol to the No. 5 spot.
And Gasol was not tough enough at that time, and he was just facing the Celtics in the style of "fighting with a ball", so he was once so guarded that he didn't dare to look at the basket.
Ariza's absence caused the Lakers to have to use Radmanovic as a small forward.
As a result, Pierce took the FMVP.
No matter how strong Kobe's defensive ability is, it is impossible for one person to defend against Ray at the same time. Aaron and Pierce.
If there is an Ariza to help share the pressure in the Finals, the Lakers will not be so embarrassed.
Therefore, Ariza and Bynum are both healthy in this history, which has improved the Lakers' combat effectiveness a lot.
Because of their existence, this Lakers basically does not have any big shortcomings.
If you want to win against the Lakers, it is indeed not easy!
Kobe, who had been staring at Ryan for a long time, finally spoke:
"You're really lucky, Ryan. You weren't there the last time I beat the Nuggets, giving you an excuse to lose.
You were lucky enough to score three points in the last game, making the whole world think that you won the second place in the West by hard power.
But today, your good fortune will not last any longer.
Tonight, you'll know why I'm number one in the West! ”
Kobe Bryant felt that Ryan was lucky to win the last game, and if the Warriors could force the Nuggets into overtime, then the Lakers would definitely win the game easily!
Lane didn't swallow his anger, but responded to him head-on: "I do need a little luck to beat the Warriors, but to beat you? Not at all! ”
The two venomous tongues were not convinced by each other, and the other players couldn't believe what kind of sparks they would have today.
After the game started, the Lakers attacked first.
Bryant didn't hold the ball, and he had learned to let go of the ball during this period.
But even without the ball, Kobe Bryant immediately got into trouble.
Because the Nuggets are using Artest to deal with Kobe!
Atay pushed and pulled roughly, and that wrestling-style defense made Kobe Bryant very uncomfortable even running without the ball.
While pushing, Atai also spewed trash words at Kobe: "You just stole the No. 1 in the West during our ban, soft egg!" ”
Kobe Bryant saw that he couldn't stay in the middle distance, so he finally chose to turn around and cut inside, and Odom immediately responded to the high post to give Kobe Bryant a layup.
But the moment Kobe Bryant made a layup, there were at least three or four arms across the basket in front of the basket!
This is the Nuggets' defensive strategy today, let Kobe Bryant go head-to-head with Altai in the middle and long distance, and then try his best to block Kobe's breakthrough!
Bird, of course, knew that Bryant's mid-range skills were superb, and he was almost the closest to the boiled egg.
But Atai is not a decoration after all, under Atai's stubborn play, Kobe's shooting feel will definitely be affected, and it is not easy to score.
At this time, the breakthrough of blocking Kobe Bryant will definitely make him fall into a bitter battle!
No, just now Atay made Kobe Bryant struggle quite a bit in the middle distance.
Therefore, the medium and long distance is a single defense of Atai.
Once Kobe Bryant breaks through, the whole team shrinks!
This contraction was very timely, and Bryant tried to pull the rod under multiple interferences, but in the end he couldn't escape the birdman's pursuit.
The Birdman slapped Kobe Bryant's layup away, and Kobe Bryant's first offense failed in embarrassment!
Ryan picks up the basketball and starts attacking!
But the Lakers, too, have set up a net for Ryan!
After receiving the basketball outside the three-point line, Ryan found that the Lakers were defending a joint defense!
And it was Ariza who stepped up to defend Ryan.
Although Ariza has never been selected in the defensive team in her career, her defensive ability is recognized as strong.
As a defensive flank, Ariza suffers from being unable to withstand heavy forwards.
So, the Lakers have prepared a joint defense for Ariza!
Once Ryan is deep below the free throw line, the whole team shrinks to pinch Ryan!
No, Ryan wanted to eat Ariza as soon as he came up this time, and he knew that Ariza couldn't stand himself.
As a result, as soon as Ryan entered, he felt that the surroundings had become extremely cramped, and it was full of players in yellow jerseys.
The Lakers are all shrinking!
Ryan immediately passed the ball and found Artey in the bottom corner.
But as soon as Atai made a three-point shot, Kobe immediately pounced and completed the block!
Atai's shot is slow, so he can't hit it in the blink of an eye.
As long as Kobe Bryant is focused enough, he can control Atay's score to the death!
The Lakers' joint defense contraction, which made Ryan swallow.
Today, it's impossible to play elegantly and handsomely.
It was a bloody hand-to-hand fight!
After the first round, neither Kobe nor Ryan scored.
Both Zen Master and Bird also tested each other's defensive strategies.
In fact, the tactics they used were surprisingly consistent.
Although it is not as good as the details, it can basically be summarized as follows: first block the others, allow the star to make mid-to-long-range shots in the interference, and do not allow them to attack the frame.
In other words, who can win this game depends on who can score more points in the middle and long distances, Kobe Bryant and Ryan!
As soon as it opened, it was destined to be a showdown between stars!
Bryant is confident in his mid-range ability, and Ryan? He's not enough to stuff his teeth!
The tone of the game was set from the start.
Senior commentator Mike. Brin also saw the situation in this game.
So, after the first round of temptation, Mike. Brin shouted meaningfully:
"It's going to be a night of superstars.
But
Among them is a superstar who will fall bloodily! ”
Kobe Bryant naturally saw this, fighting for the middle distance? Laugh to death, I haven't lost to anyone in the middle distance!
So after Ryan struck the iron, Kobe Bryant spread his hands: "Okay, this is the time when your score is closest to mine in this game." After that, I will lead the score until the end of the game! ”
Competing with the league's best middle distance masters?
Hehe, Lao Tzu is going to completely destroy Ryan tonight!
Ryan looked at the arrogant Kobe Bryant and just smiled and didn't say a word.
In terms of the diversity of mid-range techniques, Ryan is indeed inferior to Kobe.
After all, Ryan doesn't have too many mid-range talent fragments, drifting, leaning back, and not being very good at back.
But in the face of Ariza, Ryan has his own way to deal with him!
Go crazy, go crazy.
When you are defeated in what you do best, you know what deep despair is!
Today's 10,000-word update is present! The conscience is old, kneel and beg for a monthly pass!
