Ryan, No. 1 in the West, scoring champion.

At the same time, it also ranked first on the Forbes sports list.

The first basketball player since Jordan to make this list.

And he's not even 24 years old!

Even Jordan, who was in the same period, was not as successful as Ryan.

The 23-year-old Jordan doesn't even know what it's like to win a series.

As for Ajan, will anyone really compare Ajan to Ryan now?

I'm afraid that even Nike itself doesn't have such a thick skin!

At this time, Ryan is like a winner in life!

To have competitive results, to have competitive results, to have commercial achievements.

As a basketball player, Ryan also has the highest traffic and attention.

No, yesterday's video of Barkley buying a cake to help Ryan celebrate was unsurprisingly high in hits on the Internet.

In the video, the perfect atmosphere of the Nuggets also made Denver fans cheer.

I think that such a team will enter the playoffs, and its combat effectiveness will definitely not be low!

However, there are always some people who have a strange focus, and some fans in the video don't care about the elaborate dollar cake or the atmosphere of the team.

Instead, he focused on Taylor, who appeared next to Ryan. Swift!

It is said that Mildew secretly rushed to Denver yesterday to help Ryan celebrate, wanting to surprise Ryan.

After the celebration, reporters also photographed Ryan driving home with Mildew.

So, the top comments below in the comment section of this video are like this:

"Ryan promised me that Mildew's mouth is for singing!"

I really don't know what messy things these netizens are thinking.

Regardless, Ryan's achievements in the regular season this season have been dazzling enough.

But it's clear to everyone that the playoffs are where the stars really come in.

The 04 Wolves were also invincible in the regular season, leading the team to beat the Lakers F4 in the West, and his personal data was also dazzling.

As a result, because he was given the black eight by Ryan in the first round of the playoffs, the infamy of the soft egg was borne for several years.

No matter how brilliant his regular season results were that year, they were all invalidated at the moment when he was blackened.

Even that MVP trophy became a disgrace for Garnett.

When others think of their MVP, they think of words like "powerful, invincible, superstar".

And when Garnett mentions his MVP, people will only think of the shameful Black Eight

So, Ryan's battle isn't over yet.

The regular season is so long because the NBA needs to sell tickets.

The league needs the regular season, and the stars need the playoffs!

The first step in Ryan's three-peat-winning journey began in Phoenix.

The last day of the regular season and the mildew indulgence, ah no, after extreme relaxation.

Don't say it, Ryan is in really good shape!

In the first game of the playoffs, he scored 43 points!

It turns out that this life still has to be a combination of work and rest!

The Suns' lineup on paper is really not weak at first glance, and the Sharks and Nash are both Hall of Fame-level guys.

Smalls is also one of the league's strongest interior players in the league.

But this seemingly good lineup is fundamentally deformed.

Thanks to the reckless operation of the Sun's management, the Sun successfully achieved reverse growth in a good situation, and weakened itself a lot.

They did a good job of defending in the playoffs at the start of the season. Thomas sent away.

In the middle of the season, I suddenly felt that the team's low-post defensive ability was too poor after the team was missing Thomas. As a result, Marion, an important part of the MSN group, was traded out in exchange for the less dominant Sharks.

The operation of the sun does not rule out the possibility of temporary intentions.

Because even Marion himself didn't get any news about the trade, he only saw the news of his trade in the newspaper when he came to training that morning.

And the deal didn't have any positive impact on the team at all

After Marion left, the Suns were missing an off-ball attacking point. O'Neal's traditional positional play was incompatible with Nash's small-ball whirlwind play, resulting in the team's rapid offense, which the team is known for, becoming fragmented.

This shows that the Suns management did not think deeply about it before the transaction.

It's like playing a game, and they choose a guy who seems to have a high ability value and trade without brains.

What? You say you want to change the style of play according to the shark?

That's too much to say to D'Antoni.

D'Antoni is not the kind of all-round coach, his ceiling is too narrow and he has no ability to adapt. Whether it's coaching the Suns now or the Rockets in the future, I've been playing Kombat Whirlwind all my life.

He can't do this kind of inside line with O'Neill.

The end result is that the coach and the players are not suitable, the players and the players are not suitable, and the team succeeds in weakening.

The series of operations of the sun is like taking a few pieces of gold and setting them on the pants.

Although gold is expensive, Nima must be uncomfortable to wear when you use it as pants! Both Ice Bird and Beep!

It's not as comfortable as vacuum packaging!

O'Neal, Nash and Smalls are all good players on their own.

But it can be counterproductive when combined.

So, now that the Suns have fallen from their peak, Ryan didn't worry about a rollover in the first round before the game began.

After Ryan scored 43 points comfortably in the first game, the Suns seemed to have lost their morale completely.

In fact, even if Ryan scored 43 points in the first game, the Suns only lost by 8 points in the end.

But in the next three games, the Suns were all defeated by more than ten points.

The most game lost by 16 points, and the least game also lost by 11 points.

It's not uncommon to see Ryan sliding and dunking after a breakaway, and the Suns didn't intend to stop it, just stared blankly.

The entire Suns team was demoralized by the first game, and they had no will to fight at all.

In this way, the Nuggets ran over the Suns 4-0 and advanced to the second round.

This is the end of Phoenix's glory, but when will their next glory be?

It is estimated that only the temperamental man who has just finished his rookie season in Seattle knows.

This is rotten, that's more than ten years.

After the series, D'Antoni shrugged: "How do we win when the three best players in a series are in Denver?" ”

Ryan's road to three consecutive championships went very comfortably, and on the other side, the Lakers also won the Mavericks 4-0 directly!

Although the Mavericks got Kidd in a mid-season trade, the current Mavericks still have two very fatal shortcomings.

One is that the interior defense is too weak, and the old driver's offensive ability is undoubted, but defense has never been his strong point.

As for Dampier, he is already a Hall of Fame-level player in the category of "NBA big contract fraudster", a typical high-salary and imbecial.

The second point is because of Josh. Howard was put in a position that didn't belong to him.

Because of the preference of the little general, Josh. Howard averages 14 shots per game, as many as the AI.

The result? After playing four games, he averaged only 12 points per game, and his shooting percentage was less than 30%.

He's the best to ask him to be a role player, but if you want to use him as a core, that's really a fool's dream.

Cuban can't bear it, the little general, Sabi wanted to trade Dirk secretly, and now he is still correcting such an incapable guy.

What's the use of keeping him?

Both the Nuggets and Lakers advanced to the second round 4-0, which also made the media hype about the Western Conference showdown even hotter.

Some say the Nuggets are bound to run over the Lakers because the results of the regular season speak for themselves.

Some people also say that the Lakers will take revenge on the Nuggets in the playoffs, because at the end of the season, the Lakers and the Nuggets with a full lineup played each other, and the Lakers won.

However, Ryan doesn't really want to join the debate right now, and the next second round is the most important thing.

Since taking the Suns, Ryan has been keeping an eye on the Spurs and Hornets series.

The two sides fought fiercely until the seventh game, as in the original history.

But the difference is that this time the winner of Game 7 is the Hornets!

Because West was not injured by Horry in this history, the mid-range assassin scored 30 points with a 56.6% shooting percentage in the tie-break.

But the most critical figure is Paul, and this tie-break battle was completely killed by Paul's last two attacks.

In the Hornets' penultimate offense, Paul broke through Ginobili with a quick change of direction, and in the face of Parker, who was recovering the defense, he made a second change of direction in a row to pass it. But the continuous change of direction made Paul's own center of gravity a little unstable.

So he staggered to the bottom of the basket, and under the basket, his idol Tim was standing. Duncan.

Paul rushed to Duncan and jumped straight up, turned 180° in the air to dodge the block, and then turned his back to the basket to score the ball!

And, the referee also blew Duncan for a foul, which was a 2+1!

Paul was unrelenting at the critical moment, and after hitting the free throw, the difference was overtaken to 2 points!

And a round later, it was Paul again, who first dummered a shot from beyond the three-point line and flew Bowen, then went to the basket along the baseline to face Duncan again.

Duncan covered the basket this time, but in the air, Paul pulled the ball back to his waist. Instead of pulling the rod for a layup, he went around Duncan in the air and sent it to David. In West's hands!

This change in the air is very exciting, David. After receiving the basketball, West also followed up with a two-handed dunk to extend the margin to 4 points!

And in the end, the Spurs lost to the Hornets by 4 points!

Scored 30 points for David. West and Paul, who had 17 points, 13 assists and 4 steals, joined forces to help the team advance!

Under the Nuggets' previous example, the Spurs are now too afraid to make dirty moves against any team.

Because the whole league knows that as long as you take a little revenge on Duncan, Popovich will be cowardly.

So in this history, Spurs' behavior has indeed converged.

And the Spurs, who have reined in, have also returned to where they should be.

They were eliminated by the Suns last season and beaten by the Hornets this season.

Originally, if there were no dirty moves in the original history, it would have been difficult for the Spurs to win these two rounds of the series.

But in this round of the Hornets, it should be said or not, in the end it was Paul who killed the game!

His attack and pass are too deadly!

There is indeed something about the pinnacle Paul without major injuries!

At the end of the game, Popovich stared blankly at the court.

Originally, he prepared a series of strategies to deal with Ryan, hoping to reach the Western Finals.

As a result, for the second year in a row, the Spurs didn't even meet Ryan's face!

Paul and West hugged each other excitedly, and the young man made it to the Western Conference semifinals.

moreover

Next up is the opponent who has disgraced him!

Paul hasn't forgotten how he was humiliated by Ryan half a year ago.

The moment he was slapped, the image of begging for mercy in embarrassment, Paul would have clenched his toes in embarrassment just by thinking about it.

Although he dared not speak out, Paul never let go of his hatred.

The fight was indeed miserable, but this time. Paul is going to respond to Ryan on basketball!

If you can eliminate Ryan, who is chasing three consecutive championships, in the playoffs, it will be too enjoyable!

Simply the best revenge on Ryan!

Young people always like unrealistic fantasies.

When Ryan was younger, he often fantasized about the ability to stop time.

However, Ryan only thought secretly, but Paul directly said his thoughts about disrespecting Ryan:

"What's wrong with being first in the regular season? Everyone is equal in front of the playoffs! Next, we're not going to lose to the Nuggets!

Ryan may think he'll run rampant, but we'll let Ryan know that it's not 2007! ”

What Paul means is that Ryan in 2008 is not a champion yet, nothing remarkable!

Paul is so aggressive, naturally he can't make it to the playoffs.

He could have been honest in the regular season, but now that the two sides are in a close match in the playoffs, he won't hold back.

What's more, Paul has just taken down his long-time idol Duncan.

You know, it's a wonderful one.

So, it's not uncommon for Paul to have a burst of self-confidence.

In the post-match press conference, reporters naturally mentioned the last clash.

Paul's response:

"Ryan scored a full 58 points in that game, but we kept the margin between seven and eight points.

In other words, the Nuggets played hard.

Ryan knew we were going to fight back like crazy, and he didn't want his luxury stats to be in vain.

So when I went to the basket, he deliberately knocked me down viciously.

I also fell for the trick and punched Ryan in a fit of rage, and the conflict began.

He used this despicable tactic to provoke me, get me sent off, and finally beat me up.

He seemed to win, but he didn't win at all.

If I hadn't been sent off, we would have had a chance in that game! ”

Paul's words are typical of the wicked suing first.

Not to mention how many small moves he made to Ryan before, not to mention at all that before Ryan hit him, he had already pushed Ryan hard when Ryan was making a layup.

Immediately afterward, Paul approached the microphone:

"But this time, I'm not going to fall for Ryan again.

No matter how much he provokes me, I won't do it.

I'm going to beat him with basketball, whether it's five, six, or seven, I'm there for him! ”

Paul's declaration is not only to save face for himself, but also to cheer himself up.

Can't you just write the words "I'm afraid of Ryan" on your face before the game starts, right?

No matter what happens, he's ready to fight Ryan to the end!

Paul's extremely bold statement caused a heated discussion on the Internet that night.

Ryan was naturally angry, but he didn't just care about getting angry.

The Hornets in '08 were the peak of Paul's Hornets career team strength and personal strength.

If it hadn't been overshadowed by the spurs in the original history, Luo Zi might have touched the floor of the West Decisive Ground a long time ago.

And Paul's speech was not all nonsense, the Nuggets were really hard to play at that time.

Their offense was so strong that Ryan's 58th point gave his team a 10-point lead over the Hornets in the final minute.

And in the regular season, the Hornets also won the Nuggets once.

So, it's useless to just get angry.

You'll have to find a way to deal with them.

Ryan has been thinking about how to use his two newly acquired defensive badges against the Hornets and against Paul.

Because the offensive pressure is too much, it is unrealistic for Ryan to defend Paul all the time.

But at the critical moment, Ryan must crush Paul to death in one go!

And after watching the game just now, Ryan suddenly felt that the new talent fragments he got before, don't say it, seem to be really suitable for dealing with Paul!

It can increase the ability to react in the air for steals, and it can also increase the ability to stay in the air when blocking the frame.

Very symptomatic!

Paul just killed the Spurs, didn't he rely on a layup and a pass!

It doesn't matter how anxious the regular time is, as long as you can crush Paul to death at a critical moment, then the Hornets have no chance at all!

So at the end of the training the next day, Ryan also officially responded to Paul in an interview:

"I don't want to go into the details of the day I beat him up because it was too much for Paul to remember.

He didn't beg me for mercy like he did yesterday.

As for accompanying me to the seventh scene, that's even more of a joke.

I have no doubt that Paul had that determination and perseverance, but

Damn, there won't be a fifth, sixth, and seventh games in the series at all!

In just four games, Paul can start preparing for next season!

You can write this sentence in the newspaper and send it to Chris in person. Paul!

It's true that it's not 2007 anymore, but Paul's third year isn't my third year either! ”

Ryan is fully prepared to torture Paul with his new defensive skills.

The Hornets are really strong, but 4-0, Ryan is serious too!

Today's 10,000-word update is presented, and the conscience of the old man kneels and begs for a monthly pass! Thank you, fathers!
