192 : Look, I'm the best scorer in the league!
In the Western Conference Finals, the Nuggets had to set up more than a dozen temporary big screens outside the Pepsi Center.
Because a large number of fans who couldn't buy tickets gathered on the square outside the arena to spend this crucial night with the Nuggets.
Denver's security units are on the verge of a rival, and God knows how free the city will be if this game is won.
The first two games were evenly matched, and the emotions of the fans have all accumulated to a point.
Waiting for the victory of this game to be released!
The huge commercial value of Ryan and Kobe Bryant has attracted much attention in this year's battle of Tianwang Mountain, and the TV station will naturally not let go of this opportunity to frantically absorb TV.
All broadcasters start broadcasting the game hours in advance, with everything from expert analysis to off-field interviews.
Nike had been counting on Ajan to defeat Ryan, but now it turns out that Kobe Bryant is the real thigh!
Originally, Nike was desperate in the basketball market, and last season's humiliating round of Ajan's finals simply hurt Nike's vitality.
This year's regular season James + Reed combination lost to the Nuggets twice, which made Nike lose expectations.
But Kobe's rise this season has given Nike hope of regaining the market.
Originally, Kobe Bryant was replaced with No. 24 and Kobe Bryant was added with a black mamba character, all in order to make this Kobe Bryant cut from the previous No. 8 Kobe Bryant.
Who knew that Kobe Bryant was really reborn in terms of record.
If Kobe Bryant can interrupt the Nuggets' winning streak and regain the top, plus the commercial value buff that comes with Los Angeles.
Nike will see the light of day again!
At that time, Kobe Bryant is bound to become one of the most popular basketball players in the world again!
Therefore, Nike has always been very concerned about the promotion of this round of competition.
Not to mention Reebok's side, they are waiting for Ryan's triple crown to bring the entire brand directly to the next level.
Therefore, this round of competition has been hyped wildly.
The two families worked hard at the same time, and it was difficult to think about the heat of the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
The popularity of this game is so high that Ajan was completely killed in the finals last season has become popular!
Because there is a sentence in the promotional poster posted by Reebok on the official website:
"The legend who won 103 points in four games in the finals, what surprises will it bring us this time?"
James wanted to take his fans to Reebok for zero yuan at that time.
Is this slogan speaking in human terms?
What did you do last season?
The hero doesn't have a girlfriend in advance!
Obviously, a game that has nothing to do with his fart, he was stunned that he was breasted, so he was very angry.
But who would have thought that before the game, when ESPN reporters were interviewing fans outside the Pepsi Center, Ajan was breasted again.
Although today's battle of Tianwang Mountain is the home of the Nuggets, there are still some Los Angeles fans who came to Denver to cheer on the Purple and Gold.
The ESPN reporter interviewed a few very eye-catching fans wearing Lakers jerseys.
The reporter asked them if they were worried about the team losing such an important game.
Lakers fans replied: "Don't worry at all, Kobe is not LeBron who can lose 58 points in a game!" ”
Jim:.
Ajan should actually be happy, at least it shows that his status in the hearts of the fans is still very high.
The first thing that can think of you when you are a milk man is also a kind of popularity.
It's like when you mention Jordan's defeated men, you generally think of Ewing, Barkley, Malone and others.
And how many people care about poor Drexler?
So, Ajan should rejoice.
At least he wouldn't be as non-existent as a glider.
At the game, although the battle has not yet begun, Nuggets fans have turned the stands into a sea of sky blue.
They wore uniform clothes and cheered on the team from the stands.
The cheers of the fans passed through the tunnel and through the doors of the dressing room, leaving the players in the dressing room with their hairs standing on end.
Although the overall score of the series is currently 2-2, the Nuggets have lost two games in a row before.
Therefore, there is still a lot of pressure.
No one wants to be on a comeback when the game is almost won, and the Nuggets certainly don't want to be tied 3-2 with a 2-0 lead.
Ryan also buried his head in silence for a long time, and Bird wondered if Ryan was nervous.
But when the staff prompted him to play, Ryan quickly raised his head and stood up, then turned his head to look at his teammates:
"Let's go, let the fans listen to the wails of the opponents!"
He never gets nervous!
Both sides played warm-up, and ESPN's two commentators, Mike. Brin and Doug. Collins is also warming up for the game.
Both sides also know that it will be Kobe Bryant and Ryan who will decide the outcome today.
Mike. Brin believes that Ryan, as the scoring champion this season, should be able to dominate against Kobe.
But Jordan's first and last head coach in the NBA had a different view:
"Kobe Bryant is the best scorer in the league because he's the most technically complete active player.
Ryan is better than Kobe Bryant, it's just athleticism.
Once the dry pull does not feel good, Ryan will fall into passivity.
And Kobe Bryant is the most competitive player other than Jordan.
In such a crucial game, Kobe Bryant will never be relentless.
Now he is the kind of player who will never be soft when he needs to be hard!
Therefore, he will never pull his crotch in Tianwang Mountain!
After all, Kobe Bryant is a player who has scored 81 points in a single game, while Ryan has only scored 60 points in his career.
So, I'm optimistic that Kobe Bryant will perform even greater miracles today. ”
Doug. It's not that Collins has any prejudices against Ryan, he just thinks that Kobe Bryant is the player he has ever seen most like Jordan.
With the personalities of Jordan and Kobe, they would never allow themselves to lose to such a young man.
Soon, a reporter relayed Collins's words to Ryan.
But Ryan didn't care: "I'm not here to play with the courtside commentators, let's focus on Kobe!" ”
The game is about to start, and both sides have no secrets to speak of today, and they both know how many pounds and taels each other has.
So both sides didn't twist and pinch, and they were honest with each other as soon as they came up, without the slightest cover-up!
Bryant opened the game with a step-back jumper and scored from a distance above the free throw line.
In the fifth game of the game, it was impossible for Kobe Bryant to easily pass the ball to Gasol.
Because when Kirilenko pinched Kobe, he would pay special attention to cutting off the passing path between Kobe and Gasol at the same time.
Old fish?
Monta. Ellis wouldn't let that bald guy go even half a step if he was killed today.
So, Kobe's best thing to do is to break Atay one-on-one above the free throw line.
In the opening game, the Lakers played very simply.
Gasol held the ball in the low post, and Kobe Bryant caught the ball with a 45° ring in the middle and long range, and after receiving the ball, he directly followed a step back, and then made a jumper.
There aren't so many things that go around the bend, and taking the ball is dry.
However, the Lakers fans didn't have long to be happy, and Ryan immediately returned the ball!
This time, Ryan directly held the ball and broke through to the inside, knowing that there were several people waiting for him on the Lakers inside at any time, but Ryan still did it.
Sure enough, after Ryan hit the three-second zone, before he got close to the basket, the restricted area was immediately crowded.
Big Ben couldn't open up space, Bynum guarded the basket, Kirilenko's three-point threat couldn't support Gasol, and Ariza also followed the basketball into the restricted area, all of them were people.
The congestion level of the restricted area is comparable to that of the subway in the morning rush hour, and there is simply no room to attack.
But just when everyone was encircling Ryan, Ryan suddenly hit the ground and passed, giving the ball to the bottom of the basket, and Ben, who posed the least offensive threat!
The attention of the entire Lakers team was attracted to Big Ben, thinking that he would be directly strong under the basket.
But Big Ben also didn't attack, but passed the ball to Kirilenko, who was completely unmarked.
Although Kirilenko's three-point shooting is really not good, it is not the kind that he can't shoot at all.
Therefore, Gasol, who had shrunk back, immediately pounced on Kirilenko, and the Lakers' defensive attention shifted from Big Ben to Kirilenko.
However, Kirilenko still did not make a move!
He couldn't do three-pointers, but he was too good at passing.
I saw AK47 push hard with both hands and quickly pass the ball to the top of the arc outside the three-point line. There, Ryan was in place and caught the basketball, and got a lot of room to shoot!
True, everything before was just a feint.
Ryan deliberately broke through the interior and passed the ball to Big Ben, allowing the Lakers' defense to focus on the interior.
Big Ben then passes to AK in the big open space, so that the Lakers' defensive attention shifts to the big open again.
As for Ryan, who was the biggest threat, he immediately ran back to the top of the arc outside the three-point line the moment he passed the ball from Big Ben. Although Ariza chased after him as soon as possible, Ryan ran back too fast.
After a series of perfect runs, Ryan catches the ball and shoots a three-point shot, and the basketball hollows into the net!
Today, Ryan first sharpened the Lakers' defense with a three-pointer without the ball!
The Lakers' one-and-three-up strategy gives Ryan very little offensive space.
And you can't really just rely on top throws and dry pulls.
Since he couldn't fight inside, Bird simply found another way and hit outside!
On the outside, the Lakers have been using Ariza to defend Ryan one-on-one.
Then look for opportunities on the outside!
Don't forget, Ryan was an off-ball scorer in the early days, and once set a record of "scoring 39 points without a single dribble".
Now, it's just moving Ryan's off-ball offense beyond the three-point line.
Ryan and Kobe Bryant punched each other as soon as they came up, and this opening also proved that the two teams can only find a way to play on the stars of both sides!
It's definitely going to be a great matchup!
In the second round, Kobe Bryant received a pass from Gasol at a step inside the three-point line, and after receiving the ball, he drifted directly towards Artai and made a mid-range shot.
Altai was already very tightly sealed, and as a result, Bryant still hit the shot.
Barkley was right when he said that Kobe Bryant was one of the best "difficult shot scorers" in NBA history.
Once he has a good hand, he can grasp all kinds of balls that are not opportunities.
Furthermore, it is grasped in various postures.
4-3, the Lakers overtook it.
But everything seems to be a repeat just now, after Kobe Bryant's goal, Ryan immediately responded!
This time, it was Artey who made an off-ball screen for Ryan.
Ryan picked up a cover and cut the basket, making the Lakers' defense extremely tense.
As a result, he just ran two steps, but Ryan ran back and ran outside the three-point line.
As soon as Ariza got rid of Atay's cover, he was about to run out with Ryan again.
As a result, Kirilenko also came out sideways at this time and another off-ball block.
A block and a demolition in the in, but I didn't expect to run out and a block and a pick-and-roll.
Ariza couldn't react and crashed into Kirilenko's arms.
Then Ryan picks up Monta. Ellis's pass, a three-point hollow shot through Yang in 100 steps!
Although Ryan doesn't have any talent fragments related to three-pointers, he has 94 three-point attributes after all.
So if you throw an empty position, the hit rate is still very impressive.
6-4, the two teams staged a drama of alternating leads as soon as they opened.
Ryan also glanced at Kobe Bryant and raised an eyebrow at him, as if to say:
"Now it's your move!"
In the first quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant and Ryan went back and forth with each other.
Kobe Bryant's unreasonable catches and shots again and again made Atai scold his mother.
Ryan's hard-to-catch run also took a heavy toll on the Lakers' defense.
After the first quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant scored 12 points in a single quarter, and Ryan scored 14 points in a single quarter!
The Lakers trailed 24-26.
The result of Ryan and Kobe Bryant's soaring score is equivalent to the final point difference between the two teams!
It was only in the first quarter that Kobe Bryant and Ryan set the tone for this game!
Whoever wins the star duel will win the final game!
During the break, Barkley danced excitedly:
"See? I said earlier, this game will be a hurricane between Kobe Bryant and Ryan! ”
But just when Barkley, and all the fans thought that Ryan and Kobe Bryant would go on such a wild race.
In the second quarter, both Bird and Zen Master began to stop each other's trump cards.
The Nuggets' first offense, when Ryan seized the opportunity again and ran beyond the three-point line to get ready to catch the ball.
Ariza, however, rushed out in time, using his speed and reach to cut off the basketball like he did in the last minute.
The Zen Master had alerted Ariza to Ryan's run. And tell him that when Ryan stands outside the three-point line, it's the best time for a steal!
In the first quarter, Ryan suddenly increased the proportion of shots from outside the three-point line, which really caught Ariza off guard.
But in the second quarter, when the Lakers and Ariza reacted, it was not so easy to get opportunities outside the three-point line.
Ariza made a steal and used his athleticism to dunk straight away.
Although Ryan tried his best to chase the defense, he was a few centimeters away from completing the block.
As soon as the second quarter came up, the Lakers equalized the score.
It looked like Ryan's scoring performance was going to break gear.
The Lakers can't kick the Denver miners off Tianwang Mountain in one go?
However, when the Lakers found a way to contain Ryan.
The Nuggets have also found a way to contain Kobe!
In this round, Bryant continued to shake off Atay by running off the ball and blocking off the ball.
Holding the ball directly and going head-to-head with Atai, Atai's oppression is too strong.
But running off the ball and covering it can give Bryant a little space to shoot.
This is also the reason why Kobe's mid-to-long-range shooting can suddenly be so accurate today.
After Gasol saw Kobe Bryant flash out of space, he also fed the ball tacitly again.
But as soon as the basketball flew halfway, it was blocked by Ryan's long arm, and Ryan opened his five fingers and took it in his hand steadily, and immediately returned a steal!
The Lakers relied on the triangle offense to give Kobe Bryant space to shoot, so they only needed to block the connection between the triangle offense and Kobe Bryant to prevent Kobe from receiving the ball!
Although Fisher is a point guard, under the Lakers' triangle offensive system, Lao Yu's assists can only rank fourth on the team.
After Kobe, Gasol and Odom.
To put it bluntly, the two triangular offensive axes of Gasol and Odom are the two most important points to deliver ammunition to Kobe.
During the break, Bird arranged for Ryan to block the passing lane between Gasol and Bryant.
After all, Ariza is the least offensive threat for the Lakers, and Ryan has little problem occasionally letting him go.
Ryan also resolutely executed the strategy and immediately returned a steal to the Lakers!
Kobe Bryant scolded secretly, Ryan is really retribution!
After completing the steal, Ryan immediately passed the ball to Monta, who rushed to the front. Ellis.
Ellis made a quick push to the box, but instead of making a layup of his own, he threw the ball diagonally behind and passed an open catch to Ryan, who was following up.
Ryan received the ball with one hand in the air, and no one could stop him now.
But maybe he felt a little boring to dunk like this, so after Ryan received the ball, he touched the back of his head with his other hand in the air, and temporarily posed a chic head touch pose in the air to dunk the ball in!
After a perfect counterattack, the Nuggets regained the lead!
The Zen master sighed, he had finally found a way to contain Ryan a little.
Unexpectedly, Bird also found a way to contain Kobe!
So this round is not only difficult for Ryan, but also for that bastard of Bird!
As a result, both Kobe and Ryan's scores were slightly curbed in the second quarter.
Bryant scored 7 points in a single quarter and Ryan scored 8 points in a single quarter.
At halftime, Kobe Bryant scored 19 points and Ryan scored 22 points!
Although the momentum in the second quarter was not so fierce, the two scored terrifyingly.
Once again, the scores of the two teams coincided with the difference between the individual scores of the two leading stars.
48-51, the Lakers trailed by 3 points!
The duel between Kobe Bryant and Ryan is extremely anxious, and the difference between the Lakers and the Nuggets is difficult to pull apart.
This battle of Tianwang Mountain is extremely hot, enough to burn the eyes of fans.
But!
The two head coaches, Bird and Zen Master, felt that the game was not hot enough!
They decided to add fuel to the fire and heat up the game in the second half!
So in the third quarter, these two guys, who have won the championship as players and coaches, have a new trick.
On the Lakers' side, there was a sudden change of formation in the third quarter.
Let Odom start the second half.
Although Bynum is stupid, his hardness on the inside is really not to be said, and he also grabs rebounds well.
Neither Gasol nor Odom is playing the No. 5 position as effectively as the Sharks.
But Zen Master needs another triangle offensive axis to feed Ryan the ball, and he needs to arrange more passing points for Kobe Bryant to avoid the passing route being easily intercepted!
In the second quarter, 5 of Kobe's 7 points were scored when Gasol and Odom were on the floor at the same time.
As a result, the Zen master increased Odom's playing time.
The change of formation had an excellent effect as Gasol continued to hold the ball low and pretended to make a fake pass in the direction of Kobe, but in fact gave the ball to Odom.
Kobe Bryant also immediately reversed, and Odom sent the ball steadily and assisted Kobe Bryant to score with an easy shot.
Odom's appearance didn't just benefit Kobe.
Even Gasol got a rare opportunity to hit the rim.
One round later, Bryant received a pass from Gasol at the free-throw line.
But instead of shooting, Bryant shoved the ball to Odom, who cut along the baseline after attracting the attention of the defense.
Big Ben and Kirilenko immediately turned towards Odandan, but the left-handed magician pushed the ball to Gasol the moment he touched the ball!
At this time, Big Ben and Kirilenko could no longer react, so Gasol easily dunked and scored, and Odom assisted with a beautiful one-handed touch inside pass to help the Lakers score again!
Odom still has talent, after all, he is the most versatile forward player before James.
Later, his fall also told men all over the world a truth: stay away from women with big butts!
The Zen master's hand suddenly changed formation in the third quarter, killing the Nuggets by surprise.
But Bird also surprised the Lakers.
On the next offense, Ryan pocketed the ball outside the three-point line again, and Ariza, who was used to this rhythm, naturally immediately pasted it.
But when Ariza's inertia had not disappeared, Ryan directly dribbled through and easily passed by Ariza's side!
In the third quarter, Ryan had to start combining the off-ball and the ball-on, so that Ariza couldn't figure out the rhythm of defending Ryan!
This simple acceleration forced Ariza to turn his center of gravity immediately, so it directly caused Ariza to slip and fall to the ground.
The young small forward thought he had found a way to contain Ryan, but as soon as the third quarter came up, he could only lie on the ground and watch Ryan score again!
After a round, Ariza chased not so hard in order not to be overtaken by Ryan, and was always on guard against Ryan's sudden breakthrough.
The result?
Ryan just made a direct three-point shot this time!
Ariza didn't pounce firmly enough, so the interference was half a beat slower.
And this is a fatal half-beat for the defense of Ryan.
Mike. Brin raised his arms and shouted:
"Three-point hit! Ryan led the team to overtake again!
He has 27 points today, and the third quarter has just begun!
I don't know how far Kobe and Ryan will go against each other today, but one thing is for sure.
These two guys will be like two real fighters today, swinging their fists at each other without taking half a step back! ”
But Mike. As soon as Brin finished shouting, Collison on the side emphasized again:
"But in the end, Kobe Bryant will win this matchup!"
Collins couldn't be more bullish on Kobe, and even though Bryant is now temporarily behind in individual scoring, Collison has never doubted that No. 24.
He may not be as good as Jordan, but he can't even be as good as Ryan!
To show that he is indeed not biased against Ryan, Collins goes on to add:
"Ryan, when it comes to offense and defense, he's the best.
But Kobe Bryant is the most terrifying scorer in the world! ”
In the third quarter, Kobe Bryant did recover a little bit in terms of individual scoring.
Although Ryan changed the rhythm, at the end of the third quarter, his hand seemed to slip a little.
Bryant, however, is still throwing in the shots that aren't too good for chances.
Gasol and Odom's passes really made Kobe Bryant play easier.
But Artai will not give Kobe Bryant a chance to vacate the position, in fact, 90% of today's defense, Artai caught up in time.
But Kobe Bryant was able to shoot again and again under Artay's interference.
As long as Atai doesn't hang directly on him, he can keep going!
At the end of the third quarter, Bryant outscored Ryan in a single quarter for the first time, 14-13.
It's another brilliant game.
The two scored a total of 33-35, and Bryant was only 2 points behind for the time being.
However, because Gasol also scored some points in the third quarter, at the team level, the Lakers overtook the Nuggets by 1 point.
In the second quarter, both sides thought they could limit each other's stars.
But in the third quarter, Bryant and Ryan's scoring went crazy again.
The firewood added by the Zen master and Bird in the third quarter is equivalent to roasting the two leading football stars directly on the fire.
Because next, in the fourth quarter of the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Lakers only led by 1 point, which means that Ryan and Kobe Bryant have to bite each other more bloody!
On Bird's side, his restrictions on Kobe Bryant are really exhausted.
He didn't know what else he could do to restrain that bastard.
But the old Zen master, who wears nine rings as a coach and can build a dynasty and soak in the daughter of the team owner by the way, still has one trick!
He keenly caught Ryan's third-quarter shooting slip, so he told his players:
"Expand the scope of joint defense!"
Specifically, the effect of the game was when Ryan once again broke through Ariza from beyond the three-point line and prepared to shoot a mid-range jumper.
Bryant pounced without warning and interfered with Ryan's shot!
Previously, Bryant would only come up when Ryan was deep to the left and right of the free throw line.
But now, Kobe Bryant actually pounced on such a long distance!
The so-called expanding the scope of the joint defense is to protect the gap between Ariza's back and the free throw line!
Sure enough, Ryan, who had a declining hand, missed a jump shot under interference, and the Lakers seemed to have found a way to contain Ryan again!
Odom grabbed the rebound, and the left-handed magician made a long pass straight from the backcourt and handed the ball to Ariza, who acted as an arrow.
Ariza countered with a one-handed smash and slammed it hard, as if to vent all the grievances on the defensive end.
The Lakers are back to 3 points!
Doug. Collins said coldly: "The blue sea in the Denver stands seems to be a little churning!" ”
A round later, Ryan handed the ball to Artay when Kobe Bryant came up to help defend him.
Atay has been doing well so far in the playoffs, but he's not a serious shooter after all.
And because he was exhausted by going all out to defend Kobe Bryant today, his shooting touch was terrible.
The basketball hit the side of the basket hard, and Kobe Bryant also spewed trash words at Ryan:
"Please, it's up to Ron to defend and you can't rely on Ron to attack, right?
Leave him alone, his annual income is not even a tenth of yours!
Rely on your own performance to match your value, Mr. Forbes No. 1! ”
Ryan gritted his teeth, and then the Lakers' offense, after Kobe Bryant received the ball and was closely defended, he hit it again with a back-to-back shot on the spot!
Bryant's total score is officially tied with Ryan, 35-35!
Moreover!
The Lakers lead the Nuggets by 5 points!
This is the Lakers' biggest lead of this game so far!
Kobe Bryant's performance today was like a miracle help, and he still scored high scores even though Atay was almost out of position for the whole game.
But that's where he's scary.
The game that best reflects Kobe's scoring ability in the original history was not the 81 points against the Raptors, nor the 62 points in the third quarter against the Mavericks.
But what many people will overlook is the 2009 Western Conference Semifinals Game 2, a single game against the Rockets 40 points.
At first glance, 40 points are nothing compared to 81 points and 62 points.
But if you watch the game, you know how amazing Kobe Bryant was that night.
Every movement he made off the ball, every dribble, Battier and Atay were able to keep up in time.
The Rockets' defensive details in that game were almost perfect, and Battier and Artey did their best to leave no space for Kobe Bryant.
But Bryant still scored goals, and those balls that weren't chances at all, he just scored.
Today's Kobe Bryant has undoubtedly entered that state!
Taizi's defense is impeccable, and he bites very hard, but he can still score goals again and again.
Bird immediately suspended the game when he saw that the situation was wrong, and Nuggets fans panicked.
This is special. How can there be a feeling that the fourth quarter is about to collapse?
Doug. Collins is simply New Year's:
"Kobe Bryant's personal score tied Ryan, what do I say?
Ryan's lead is only temporary!
When this timeout returns, Kobe Bryant's individual score will completely surpass Ryan's.
And the Lakers will hold that lead until the end of the game!
Ryan is great, the gap between him and Kobe Bryant is not big, but there is a gap after all!
Maybe both of them can score more than 40 points in this crucial battle today.
But there's only one winner! ”
Doug. Collins had a sense of pride at this time, "Look, Lao Tzu knows too much about balls".
Because for now, everything was in his expectation.
And the Lakers do have the advantage.
Fools can see that the Lakers are dismembering the Nuggets at this time, and the Nuggets have no better way to deal with Kobe.
It is self-evident who has the better odds of winning.
On the Nuggets bench, everyone was gasping for air in exhaustion.
Bird sat down in the middle, calmly picking up the tactical board and pen.
He didn't look nervous at all, not even as nervous as the fans.
Bird really didn't have a way to get Kobe Bryant, but there was a way to keep Ryan scoring.
Now, Ryan's mid-range shooting has declined, so he has to deal with the Lakers in a different way.
No one knows what Bird has laid out, Doug. Collins even believes that Bird's timeout was in vain.
As a former head coach, Collins himself has completely failed to think of any way to contain Kobe.
Swap Ryan to defend Kobe?
Forget it, Ryan's hand has slipped now.
Letting him defend Kobe Bryant again will only make Ryan's hand worse and hasten the Nuggets' death.
The timeout ended, and the players from both sides returned to the field.
Doug. Collison shook his head: "Next, the Lakers will make Pepsi Center completely desperate!" ”
The fans at the scene were shouting the three letters "MVP" to cheer for Ryan.
Ryan also pointed to the stands on all sides, indicating that he heard the fans.
He also said that he would definitely leave the victory in Denver!
After receiving Ryan's response, the cheers from the audience became more intense.
But the intense cheers also stimulated the nerves of the Lakers, who are now desperate to shatter the illusions of Nuggets fans!
The Nuggets attacked, but to people's surprise, the person in charge of dispatching outside the three-point line was AK47!
Like a point guard, he dribbles beyond the three-point line and directs his teammates to run.
Ryan continued to run without the ball and finally got a chance to get a pass from Kirilenko after a big circle.
However, Ryan's position to catch the ball this time is no longer mid-to-long-range.
Rather, it's around the right side of the three-second zone!
Previously, in order to avoid the Lakers' joint defense.
Ryan avoided that area as much as possible in the first four games.
Today, the range was stretched to the three-point line.
But now, Bird instead let Ryan catch the ball directly in the most dangerous place!
Sure enough, after Ryan received the basketball, Ariza chased after him, and Kobe, who had been guarding the edge of the penalty area, also immediately pinched it.
But Lane used his terrifying first step to start the speed before he came up, and stepped into the forbidden area in two steps!
Catching the ball from beyond the three-point line, the reason was too far from the basket, so it was difficult for Ryan to get to the basket under the Lakers' one-shot triple.
Often, before he can hit the basket, the way to break through is blocked.
But now, because he is receiving the ball from mid-range and very close to the basket, Ryan can kill directly to the basket in one or two steps!
No matter how fast Ariza and Kobe Bryant's flanking attack is, it's too late to stop it!
Although Bryant and Ariza both blocked, Gasol also guarded under the basket.
But Ryan still burst to the basket and jumped up, lifting the basketball in the air, facing the block of Kobe and Ariza, Ryan withdrew the basketball, and then the whole person slid behind the rebound, letting go of Gasol.
In the end, Ryan threw the ball back in a big loop, and in the three-man defense, the big loop wiped the board and hit the lever after the rebound!
Ryan managed to score in the seemingly impregnable Lakers restricted area!
Feel slippery? Then make a mistake in the most dangerous place!
The Zen master scolded secretly, this ball is a perfect combination of Ryan's personal ability and Bird's coaching ability!
Bird's arrangement allowed Ryan to quickly enter the restricted area, which caught the Lakers' contraction off guard.
And Kirilenko played the No. 1 position on the outside, and also branched out another inside Odom, making the Lakers change from a three-in-one to a two-in-one!
No matter how low Kirilenko's offensive threat is, Odom can't just ignore him, right?
So now, only Kobe Bryant and Gasol can participate in the joint defense in the Lakers restricted area!
This greatly reduces the difficulty of Ryan's attack on the frame!
Of course, even so, it's not easy to attack the frame.
With a ball like the one just now, with Ariza, Kobe Bryant and Gasol blocking it, most players couldn't have managed to score.
But for Ryan, it's not just about scoring goals, it's about scoring goals efficiently!
Bird relied on Ryan's individual ability to make his tactics successful.
And Ryan relied on Bird's tactical arrangement to completely release his personal ability!
Indeed, the Nuggets have no way to limit Kobe Bryant anymore.
So, let Ryan and Kobe Bryant decide the victory with their scores!
After Ryan's goal, his personal score once again surpassed Kobe Bryant's to 37 points.
Moreover, the Nuggets are only 3 points behind!
The Lakers counterattacked, and Odom just got the basketball this time to see Kobe's position, and was cut off by Kirilenko directly!
The left-handed magician is too tall after all, so the ball guard is not up to the level of a true point guard.
After the basketball was stealed, Kirilenko continued to possess the ball through the half court, continued to play the No. 1 position, and pinned Odom to the outside!
Kirilenko, although also tall, is not as good as a real defender.
But Odom's ability to tackle the ball is not as strong, so Kirilenko can dribble calmly without worrying about steals
The Nuggets did the same, Ryan cut to the left side of the mid-range to receive the ball, and Kobe Ariza had to surround it even though he knew that Ryan might be going to break through.
Because letting Ryan catch the ball and shoot at that position is no different from sending points directly.
Sure enough, Ryan broke through directly before the flanking attack came up.
But this time, Gasol blocked it in advance!
The Spaniard's basketball IQ is indeed high, and only in the second leg after the Nuggets changed their strategy, he saw through the opponent's mind and appeared in the most correct defensive position.
Ryan wanted to jump up and turn in the air to wipe Gasol, but there was not enough space, and Ryan just turned sideways and slammed into Gasol.
Gasol also reached out and pulled Ryan.
But in the fierce confrontation, when the center of gravity has been tilted, he sent the ball to the basket, and the basketball still went into the net!
A great layup feel can not only increase the success rate of pull-up layups, but also increase the shooting rate of layups in confrontations!
Although Gasol blocked the basket in time, he still couldn't stop Ryan!
Without Odom's protection, without the timely contraction before the basketball jumped, the Lakers simply couldn't stop Ryan's attack on the frame!
Now, Ryan doesn't need to rely on the touch of mid to long range to score!
The ball goes in, the whistle blows, the referee gives Gasol a foul, and Ryan gets the chance to hit three points!
The audience burst into fierce cheers, and when everyone was at their most desperate, Ryan stood up in time again!
The Zen master scolded and angrily smashed the tactical manual to the ground.
In order to contain Ryan, he has already tried to break his head and used all the methods he can use.
But Lane is this bastard. How can we contain him completely?
Ryan stepped onto the free-throw line and dribbled twice to make a shot.
But he suddenly remembered something, so he stopped the free throw, turned his head to look at the technical table on the sideline, and pointed to Doug, who had been talking cool all night. Corinth:
"Hey Doug! Help me calculate the score at the tech desk and memorize it for me!
Next, I'm going to go up to 40 in points, and I'm going to surpass Kobe Bryant, and the team's score will be tied.
Score all of them to the top, and remember, I'm the best scorer in the league! ”
With that, Ryan hit a free throw.
40 points in a single game, leading the team to equalize the score.
Ryan hasn't been crushed yet!
Doug. Collins was stunned for a moment, he had never seen a player who spewed trash talk with commentators in his life!
What made him even more stunned was that Ryan was not killed in an unfavorable situation, but stood up again!
Bird watched his strategy regain Ryan's scoring energy and sat down on the bench with ease.
Judging from the reaction of the Zen master Na Lao Deng angrily smashing the tactics manual just now, he must have been powerless against Ryan.
So right now, there's nothing either side can do about each other's biggest stars.
Do you need to talk about the results?
One to attack the frame, one to shoot at long range.
No matter how perverted Kobe's mid-to-long-range shooting efficiency is, it is impossible to surpass Ryan.
The lion king will tear the viper in half!
The fourth quarter had just begun, and Ryan had already scored 40 points.
By the time the game was over, Bird believed.
Ryan will give the world an incredible number!
Today's 10,000-word update is directly delivered! The conscience of the old man kneels and begs for a monthly pass! Thank you, fathers!
