194 : King of the Western Finals! Next, Crusade to Boston!
Ryan, 61 points in a single game in the playoffs, 26 points in a single quarter!
In the regular season, he was the leading scorer.
In the playoffs, he was able to show a historic explosive performance.
Moreover, he may be the first person in history to force his commentator who is not optimistic about him to change his words in public.
This cruel king does not allow any questioning voices to exist!
The Lakers suspended the game, but fans in Los Angeles were afraid to look any further. They all know that the probability that the Lakers will be able to win Tianwang Mountain is quite low.
Kobe Bryant has already scored 51 points, but he still can't get the game done.
It simply doesn't get any more desperate than that.
Bryant scored 51 points and failed to kill the game, which also highlighted Ryan's strength.
Lakers fans really can't imagine what else Kobe Bryant can do.
Do you really have to hold the ball all the way from the three-point line to the basket to beat Ryan?
In the first two seasons, when Kobe Bryant showed his formidable scoring ability, all Lakers fans fantasized that when the team's roster got better again, Kobe Bryant would create another brilliant era for the Lakers.
But now Los Angeles fans have discovered that there is a guy whose scoring explosiveness is even more terrifying than Kobe!
Los Angeles fans couldn't believe their eyes, 61 points in a single game, still in the playoffs.
This hasn't happened since the 80s!
Although Jordan was the hegemon of the 90s, his 60+ playoff game was also won in the 80s.
Bryant sat on the bench with his chest heaving violently.
But his gaze was still sharp, staring at the Zen master.
He hasn't resigned himself yet!
The Zen master told Bryant to play a quick 2 points next, and then the whole team immediately fouled Big Ben.
Well, everything seems to be back to the scene of the first showdown between Kobe and Ryan in the regular season.
In the end, only Big Ben can save the Lakers!
The Lakers deserve to be a team with a tradition of super centers!
But when he returned from the game, the Zen master found that Bird had replaced Ben directly with Millsap.
Played a super small lineup.
Oh no, I should say that the Nuggets are getting taller at the center position.
Big Birdie certainly knows that such substitutions will lead to a weaker ability to protect the frame.
But even if Kobe Bryant scores, the Nuggets have the ability to pull back the difference by shooting free throws.
And if they continue to use Big Ben, it's okay if the Lakers don't score, but once they score, the situation will become quite dangerous.
The Zen master cursed secretly, Bird's behavior is equivalent to putting a mosaic on the most critical parts, which is as disgusting!
Big Bird, you coward!
There's a kind of you just leave Big Ben on the field, I'll wipe it!
If you don't let the strongest player on my side play, what kind of ability does it matter if you win!?
The Zen master gestured helplessly, signaling that he would foul Millsap directly after scoring later.
Although Millsap has the ability to shoot, because he has just played, the feel is not necessarily guaranteed.
What's more, now is the moment of truth, and Millsap may also miss the penalty due to nervousness.
In short, after Kobe Bryant threw this goal, he had to foul immediately anyway and snatch the time and the ball!
However, what made the Zen master desperate.
The first step in his follow-up plan went wrong.
Kobe's jumper, under the interference of Ryan and Atay at the same time, popped out of the frame directly!
Kobe Bryant really had no choice but to help defend him, but Kobe felt that it was better to come by himself than to let Ariza throw this kind of ball.
However, the fateful shot ultimately missed the mark.
Gasol almost grabbed the rebound and flicked the basketball the moment it popped off the frame.
But the second time, Millsap, the NCAA rebounding champion, did not waste another opportunity, and after seizing a favorable position, he steadily collected the rebound.
The Lakers fouled Millsap in time, but it didn't mean much.
Director Zhang also said a sentence that Chinese fans are very familiar with: "The Lakers won, and now there is only a theoretical possibility left!" ”
Fortunately, this time this sentence was used on the opponent.
Bryant's failure to shoot was enough to hit people, and after that, Millsap made two free throws and two free throws.
At this point, there is no suspense at all.
There is no one to take away from Ryan's great night!
10 seconds before the end of the race, Mike. Brin glanced at Doug, who was completely closed and glazed over. Collins, shaking his head:
"Ryan's game will definitely be difficult for most people to accept for a while.
Before the game, everyone knew that Ryan's score in this game would be very high, but absolutely no one expected that it would be so high.
However, when we look back at the battle of the Heavenly King Mountain in the West, we will find that Ryan's performance and his achievements are commensurate.
The strongest player in this era should have the strongest performance! ”
As soon as the words fell, the game ended.
112-105, the Denver Nuggets won the key battle of Tianwang Mountain with a 7-point advantage at home, in a situation of two consecutive defeats!
Ryan scored 61 points in a single game, one of only three players in NBA history to score 60 points in the playoffs.
Kobe's 51 points are bright enough, but compared to Ryan, it also looks overshadowed.
Inside the stadium, the cheers of the fans continued.
Outside the arena, the breath of freedom has begun to spread.
Previously, the local security department was worried that after the Nuggets lost, fans went to buy zero yuan in order to vent their dissatisfaction.
But they didn't expect that the fans would be so happy that they would also celebrate by purchasing zero yuan
On the pitch, Ryan didn't celebrate.
Instead, he sat down on the bench exhausted.
61 points, this is individual work.
The team scored 112 points, and Ryan alone scored 61 points.
One person took more than half of the points.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Lakers were suddenly killed by Ryan's firepower.
Ryan is alone, and he has his own set of offenses.
At the beginning, it was rubbed in the middle and long distances, and then it went into the depths to stir, and this set was quite squeezing physical energy.
No way, this season's Nuggets can be regarded as a team with strong defense and weak offense.
Although it is not like the 76ers who played in the Finals that year, there is really no one around the AI who can score.
But the dependence on Ryan is indeed relatively large.
Because he was so tired, Ryan didn't even give a sideline interview.
The reporter could only interview Atai, who played 40 minutes in the first game today and scored 7 points.
"Ron, you were very successful in defending Kobe Bryant today, and you didn't give Kobe an easy shot for the whole game.
Is there anything you would like to say about this important victory? ”
Atai stretched out his hands:
"Defensive success? Come on, Kobe Bryant scored a full 51 points today, and he has scored 50 points in the playoffs twice in his career, and I touched him once.
To be honest, I wasn't too happy with my defense today. Also, I couldn't help the team today from beyond the three-point line, shooting 0-of-3.
But as I said, I can't even score a single goal, and Ryan can win the game!
With Ryan, we're invincible!
We are following the greatest players of the world on our way to the greatest goal! ”
Good guys, reporters call good guys.
Ryan is sitting on the sidelines and passively pretending to beep!
Atai smiled secretly, heh, my EQ is so high, what will Big Ben and AK take to roll with me?
Nuggets old 1.5 position, I'm sitting firm!
Basketball is not about playing and killing, it is about human sophistication~
The leader likes me, more than anything else!
Male leader, then blow hard.
Female leader, then tease!
Do these two things well, a happy life is not a dream!
This statement in Atai's post-game interview made Ryan, who was already brilliant today, even more heroic.
At this time, Atai turned his head to look, only to find that Big Ben's bastard actually asked the referee to come and give the game ball to Ryan!
Atai scolded secretly, you kid is really good at borrowing flowers to offer Buddha! Damn, why didn't I think of that!?
Ryan took the basketball, sat on the bench and adjusted his breathing, and looked up at the data on the big screen.
With 61 points in the playoffs, even Ryan himself felt a little magical.
During the game, Ryan didn't think about the scoring stats at all. Although he kept asking Collins to help him score points, it was just a trash talk, and Ryan didn't pay much attention to himself.
He only knew that he had to bring Kobe Bryant down!
And then it's 60+.
Kobe Bryant's 51 points are also strong enough, Artei is like that, Kobe can still hit 50+.
It's even more terrifying than the 40-point 40-point Western Conference semifinals in the original history!
It can only be said that Kobe Bryant and Ryan have forced each other the strongest in this game!
At this time, on the Internet, most people are blowing Ryan's single 61-minute night.
Even Jordan was stunned when he saw the news, he only did it once in the playoffs 60+.
In the entire history of the NBA, only he and Baylor have been able to do it before.
But now, a third person who has met the conditions has appeared.
Now, even Jordan is a little expecting Ryan to win a three-in-a-row.
If Ryan succeeds in winning three in a row. That statue of his could sell for a little more!
At the Lakers' press conference, Kobe Bryant was staring at the data sheet in his hand in a daze.
He still can't believe that Ryan actually scored 61 points!
Bryant knows exactly what kind of defender Ariza is, and while he isn't a historic outside gatekeeper, he sees defense as fun, and can spend 48 minutes playing around with his opponents and figuring out how to fix his position for 48 minutes.
Not only is he passionate, but he is also resourceful, and his reading of defense is always very accurate.
Ariza is like the kind of older leftover who thinks very highly of himself in the marriage market. Little fairy, you don't want to take advantage of him.
And the Zen master, Kobe Bryant knew very well how much the old man had used to contain Ryan today.
But it was completely useless, Ryan still won!
"Hey, the reporter is talking to you, brother."
Gasol patted Kobe Bryant on the shoulder at this time, and Kobe Bryant came back to his senses.
"Huh? Am I listening? Belch. Can you repeat the question you just asked? ”
"Kobe, can you rate Ryan's 61 points in a single game? Of course, your 51 is great, I'm just."
Kobe Bryant waved his hand:
"Don't comfort me, 51 is not great at all in front of 61!
Ryan was the best player of the day!
Phil, our whole team, threw all the tricks at him, pointed all the defense at him.
But he was still able to stand up to one, two or even three people and keep scoring the ball.
Ryan is a well-deserved regular season MVP.
He won today and that's it. ”
Kobe Bryant is not someone he can't afford to lose, and he doesn't make excuses for losing.
But soon, Kobe Bryant approached the microphone again:
"But, I'm still saying that, the series isn't over yet.
When we were 2-0 down, there were a lot of media outlets saying we were going to be finished.
The result? We're still fighting.
But that's the way it is in the playoffs, you never know who's going to win until the last minute.
In the next sixth game, we will equalize at home! ”
Kobe's praise for Ryan is already quite high.
But Kobe Bryant is not the kind of person who will surrender easily.
He remains confident that he will be able to claim the win back in the next matches.
But few people care about Kobe Bryant and the Lakers anymore.
The day after the game, it's not hard to imagine what kind of craze Ryan caused.
The 61-point heat of this postseason is almost the same as Kobe's 81-point dragon slaying night that year.
Although there are 20 points less, the difference is that one is the regular season and the other is the Western Conference Finals. One plays on a lotto team and the other plays one of the best teams in the West!
Although after yesterday's game, the news of Ryan's 61 points in a single game has been spread to the world through the Internet.
But today, all the newspapers that reported on the incident still sold out.
ESPN reporters also interviewed a number of stars today to see how they react.
Wade still looked confused when he faced the camera:
"When I woke up this morning, I thought I had a dream last night, but when I read the newspaper, damn it, Ryan actually scored 61 points in the playoffs!
Yesterday's game, let's just say it, I could only sit in front of the TV and shout WOW! ”
The unruly AI also showed a surprised look in front of the camera:
"Ryan is probably the only one in the league who doesn't need training even more than me!"
Barkley naturally won't let go of this opportunity to blow Lane, but the angle he blows is very tricky:
"Thanks Kobe, if it weren't for Kobe, we'd never know where Ryan's ceiling is!
Think about it, if it was LeBron who played against Ryan, and Ryan would have scored 30 points to close the game, we would not have seen such a wonderful performance! ”
Jim:???
This Nima can drive me too!?
No, I'll forget about the milk before the game, why do I still have something to do after the game?
What does this game have to do with Lao Tzu!?
What bad intentions can Fliggy have? This shows that in the class of 03, Ajan has obtained the status of the Vice-Chosen Son.
Otherwise, why doesn't Fliggy compare Wade, Anthony and others?
This is a kind of affirmation from Fliggy to James!
Ryan's playoff 61 points, after all, was the first time since the '80s.
So it's normal to cause a stir.
Los Angeles fans can now just endure it all in silence and wait for the series G6 to begin.
In the last game, even Los Angeles fans admitted that Ryan's performance was impeccable.
But there is only one such game!
At present, the strength of the two sides is still quite close. Although Ryan played a career masterpiece in the last game, the Nuggets didn't win much in the end.
Therefore, they all still have hope for the series.
But in reality, the Lakers are nowhere near as strong as the Los Angeles people expected.
On May 29, in the legendary land of the NBA, the Staples Center, where 14 championship flags hung overhead.
The Lakers lost to the Nuggets 88-128!
The Lakers were completely deflated, and when fans thought this team was going to fight back, they were completely deflated by Ryan's 61-point game last time.
It has been said countless times that the Lakers in 2008 were not strong enough in their mental attributes.
Paul. Gasol really resembles a weak Spaniard, and even Kirilenko ate him hard several times in this match.
Ryan even had a goal that directly ignored his defensive riding dunk.
This goal made fans all over China experience the thrill of the strange Yanmar.
The fans slapped the table frantically: "Ryan is a capable person, not only went abroad to ride in the locker room, but also rode on the basketball court to show us!" ”
Odom sleepwalked all over the court, distracted on defense, and shot iron.
Bynum is too young to help the team score.
After all, it was a character who asked Tiangou to teach him to almost have a cerebral hemorrhage, and it was normal to have no means to score.
The only one in the whole team who has fighting spirit is Kobe.
But unfortunately, the only one in the whole team who has fighting spirit is Kobe.
The Lakers trailed by 35 points in the third quarter, and there was no need to compare in the fourth quarter.
Ryan scored just 25 points today, less than half of his last game.
It's really impossible for Ryan to come back to a legendary 61-point game, at least not in a row.
However, even if Ryan doesn't score that many points, the Lakers won't necessarily win.
The avalanche happened so suddenly.
Kobe Bryant never realized that the moment he cursed and scored 51 points to lose the battle of Tianwang Mountain, this hot series had already left him.
Psychologically, this Lakers team is really difficult to compete with the Nuggets who are determined to build a dynasty.
So the collapse is only a momentary thing.
Such a result is naturally very difficult for Lakers fans to accept.
40 points, this is the largest point difference in the Western Conference Finals since the 21st century!
They died suddenly in the most shameful way.
After being counterattacked by the Nuggets in the regular season, in the playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers were also cut down by the Denver Shakhtars!
The unprecedented shame enveloped Kobe Bryant, but he still hugged Ryan after the game.
People thought that after the rise of the Lakers this season, they would regain dominance in the West.
As a result, the rise of the Lakers has merely served as a stepping stone for Ryan's legendary dynasty.
And Ryan.
61 points in a single game, breaking the record of the Western Finals.
Win 40 points in a single game, and also create history in the Western Conference finals.
Such results make Mike. Brin raised his arms and cheered at the end of the game: "Ryan is a well-deserved king of the Western Finals!" ”
Although the score was 4-2 instead of 4-0, Ryan was the most dominant and reached the finals stage for the third year in a row!
After the game, Kobe Bryant still received a lot of praise in the press release.
After all, before the start of this season, no team believed that the Lakers would make it to the Western Conference Finals.
But Kobe Bryant didn't smile even once, he just told reporters: "Our goal is only to win the championship, and we failed." I'll start training tomorrow and we'll be back next season! ”
The same expression and answer also appeared on Ryan's face:
"The Western Conference Championship trophy is great, of course, but it's like a big seafood meal can't just be an appetizer.
It's the main course that counts!
Now, you can wish the next opponent good luck. ”
Beating Kobe Bryant and playing legendary stats in the Western Conference finals are just foreplay.
Where is there someone whose foreplay is particularly hard, and as a result, they are disarmed at the beginning of the main play?
So the next finals are what Ryan really cares about!
Although at this time, the Eastern Conference Finals are still in full swing.
But Ryan certainly knows exactly which team will make it to the finals.
He approached the microphone with a serious expression:
"In the first game of the regular season this year, that team won us by 14 points in the opener, at the championship ring ceremony.
Throw the team to hell all at once.
Then, the team went through injuries, struggles, a major roster reshuffle, and bans.
The Nuggets have encountered too many things along the way this season and crossed a lot of hurdles.
But now, the Denver Nuggets are still standing here!
We have Ron, who is invincible on the defensive end, who is responsible for scoring 40 points against the opposing team's leading scorer every game, even if he is tired of supporting his hands and knees.
We had a big Ben who felt like his career was over when we were in Cleveland, and we established a no-fly zone in Denver.
We've got Andre, and this bastard didn't just get a tattoo during his injury, and you don't know how much he's coming back to get back on the field.
We have Monta. Ellis, the little brother who always helps me with my scores.
We have Millsap, and you can never underestimate his power.
We have Andrey. Miller, he always gives me a breather in the second team.
We've got feathered birdmen, Lori, we've got Percy, we've all stood here!
We've been through it all, and now, it's time to embrace the honor! ”
Ryan didn't mention his 60-point night, nor did he mention today's 40-point win.
Although hailed as the king of the Western Conference finals, in Lane's words, it was as if the Western Conference Finals had never happened.
His eyes are all on the championship trophy!
The last time they met, Ryan had blood on the floor of the North Shore Gardens.
This time, it's not just blood.
Ryan will also place the heads of the Boston Triumvirate on that green floor!
The final step to becoming a legend, no matter how tough the Celtics are, no matter how terrifying the North Shore Gardens are.
The weather-hardened Denver miners will face these obstacles head-on and take firm steps to overcome them!
