225: Strongest regular season performance ever! Cherish it, LeBron, there's not much time left for your fantasies!
Nowitzki wasn't too upset after the game.
Because his team was not beaten by Ryan's ultra-long-range strike until the last three seconds.
This is enough to prove that the Dallas Mavericks are closer to beating the Nuggets than most teams in the West!
Once again, they've pushed Ryan to the edge of a cliff!
It's just that the outside world didn't notice this at all.
Everyone, immersed in the light of the myth of a 33-game winning streak.
The moment the game ended, all memories of the Mavericks disappeared from the fans' minds.
They won't remember how good the Mavericks were in this game, and they won't remember how terrible Nowitzki and Terry's firepower was.
All the memories about the Mavericks melted into one sentence: "They couldn't stop the Nuggets."
This is exactly why they are underrated.
However, Ryan did not underestimate the Mavericks, and he knew that the German tank would be one of his biggest opponents this season.
On the sidelines, Jazz Flying Pig's heartbeat hasn't slowed down yet.
In the last 3 seconds, I saw Tyson. When Chandler made the rebound, Fliggy really thought he was going to run on the spot today.
Although Chandler's goal only allowed the Mavericks to equalize, when the game went into overtime, it was difficult to say.
No, Fliggy even thinks that the Nuggets will lose.
Because of that equalizer, the Mavericks have completely overpowered the Nuggets in terms of momentum. And Dirk and Terry's hand today is too magical.
If you play overtime, the Nuggets are more than lucky.
Although Barkley said before that if the Nuggets couldn't win 33 in a row, he would tear his clothes in public, but to be honest, he didn't want to show his belly that was stronger than an 8-month-old pregnant woman in public.
He doesn't want to be the forever clown in basketball.
For such a role, one in the basketball world is enough!
Thank God Ryan's incredible long-range three-pointer saved him from humiliation!
That shot saved the team and Charles. Buckley's Discipline.
Flying Pig unbuttoned his tie and unbuttoned both shirts.
The cool cold air enters the body, giving Fliggy a feeling of "finally coming to life".
But tonight, most teams across the league had a strong sense of suffocation.
33 consecutive wins, the longest winning streak in NBA history.
And, it was created by a team that didn't have a second All-Star other than Ryan that season!
This makes most teams in the league have no hope of defeating the Nuggets at all!
There are still 19 games left until the start of the playoffs, but many teams feel at this moment that they have lost the playoffs!
The Nuggets' stellar record has left many teams unaware of what it means to make the playoffs.
Is it just to be killed by Ryan and the Nuggets?
At least Doug. That's what Rivers thinks now, and he knows better than anyone that his Celtics can't win against the Nuggets anyway.
Even if the Big Three are each three or four years younger, it is estimated that they will not be able to do it!
The reason why Celtic have looked hopeful over the past two years is because
It's because Ryan isn't there!
Another example is Popovich, who knows that his stellar regular season record this year has turned into a bunch of meaningless numbers.
Now if this Spurs meet the Nuggets in the playoffs, I'm afraid they will be swept!
This may be the first time, with 19 games to go until the start of the playoffs, but there are already people who have lost in the playoffs.
The deterrent power of a 33-game winning streak is so terrifying!
That night, Ryan took the players to a nightclub to celebrate.
Ryan himself was not in the mood to celebrate, in his opinion, no matter how great the 33-game winning streak is, it is only the regular season.
But Ryan can't demand others with his own mentality.
Do you want Matthews to run off the ball for 48 minutes without complaint?
Want Love to fight for a spot every night?
Want Millsap to rein in his offensive talent and focus most of his efforts on the defensive end?
Want the substitutes to be honest with their role?
If you want them to do this without generating negative emotions, you need to let them relax once in a while.
The Nuggets also care about Ryan, and found Ryan a mixed Asian-European race, with both Asian looks and European and American fat buttocks.
Seeing that Ryan was a little hesitant, Atai also helped Ryan do psychological counseling:
"She's your fan, she's just more willing to give than any other fan."
But Ryan still didn't bring her home, and this kind of fan may have been pierced even if he brought sports protective equipment.
Besides, Kelly had prepared Ryan's favorite "Hey Female Colleague in the Office" themed package at home early this day.
We already have signed players, so there's no need to look for free agents.
After all, there are some things that are more comfortable to run in.
The day after the Nuggets won 33 straight, the Miami Heat crushed the Orlando Magic at the American Airlines Center.
James scored just 15 points today, and he's still uncomfortable with the Magic's defense.
But Wade's 26 points, along with the Magic's poor three-point shooting today, saved James' game.
As a team that relies heavily on three-point shooting, the Magic shot just 16.7 percent from three-point range today.
This is undoubtedly a self-defeating tactic.
And this easy victory also gave James confidence.
I want to beat the magic trick that I couldn't beat no matter how hard I was at the beginning, and now I can win without exerting force, it's really cool!
James, who was in a good mood, also spoke eloquently at the post-game press conference:
"We don't need that many exaggerated streaks, we just keep our feet on the ground."
"I don't care about other teams at all, my goal is to win the championship."
"The regular season record doesn't mean everything, I just know that we're in the right place right now and can make a big difference in the playoffs."
James's answer, both inside and out, was about Lane's 33-game winning streak last night.
What "doesn't need that many wins", what "regular season record doesn't mean everything".
It's not that we don't want to take it, it's just that it's not necessary.
In reality, there are many such people:
"It's not like I can't afford a BMW or Mercedes, but the car is a means of transportation. I just know someone who is worth hundreds of millions, so I can open a fit. So, why buy this kind of car? ”
obviously can't get it, and he still puts aside that look of contempt, and ridicules everyone who can get it is a big fool.
It's so hypocritical that it's annoying.
James's attitude naturally annoyed some reporters at the scene.
A journalist raised his hand and stood up:
"LeBron, don't you need that many streaks, or can't you get them?"
James's grinning expression disappeared instantly, and his face became gloomy:
"What do you want to express?"
He couldn't believe that a reporter dared to scold himself so directly.
Aren't you afraid that I won't give you an interview again?
James thought that by putting on an angry expression, he would be able to make the other party retreat.
But the reporter's voice was still loud:
"What am I trying to express? Are you sure you really want me to say it? ”
James nodded: "What do you want to say about your freedom." ”
"Then I'll say, you don't need it, you just can't get it!
Ryan, he's the one who really doesn't need it!
He doesn't need as many All-Star teammates to lead the team to a record.
And you, if you don't have Dwayne today, you're going to be repaired by Howard again!
He doesn't need any regular-season record or winning streak, as he has already won three championships.
And you, you haven't even won a championship so far, how can you be embarrassed to despise the honor of the regular season?
Sorry LeBron, but you're jealous of him, you're not reconciled to your gap getting bigger and bigger, that's the truth!
After 33 consecutive wins, Ryan has dumped you so much that you can't even see the taillights! ”
The entire press conference scene instantly fell silent, James looked around in a panic, and there was a feeling that he had been stripped naked in front of the public!
The Heat's press officer hurried off the court to get the reporter out.
But he didn't persevere:
"You're a good player LeBron, but please stop those hypocritical behaviors and embarrassing boasting!"
James' hands trembled, damn, what are you going to do one by one?
Anti-stall storm, right!?
Since joining the Heat, James has simply become a big villain.
There are fewer and fewer people who respect him.
Now, some journalists even dare to humiliate themselves to their faces.
It's simply it
Looking at the reporter who was asked out, James's trembling hand suddenly froze.
So what?
Lao Tzu really needs star teammates, and Lao Tzu really can't play Lane's 33-game winning streak.
But as long as I win in the end, no matter what way, as long as I win in the end!
Everything will be reversed!
James also stood up and turned to leave the press conference.
Before leaving, he only left one sentence: "I will definitely bring a championship trophy to Miami!" ”
Reporters frantically pressed the shutter, and one news after another spread quickly on the Internet:
"James was so angry with the Nuggets' 33-game winning streak that he left the game directly!"
"Ruthlessly expose the mask of hypocrisy! LeBron is jealous of Ryan's results! ”
"Big Three, can you really succeed in the finals?"
This incident made fans look forward to the Finals meeting between the Heat Big Three and the Nuggets.
Stern would love to see that, and sure enough, sometimes it takes some "uncontrollable" journalists for the league's story to be wonderful.
James was overwhelmed by Ryan's 33-game winning streak and was outright furious.
But Lane, he didn't pay any attention to what James said.
After sniping the Mavericks with a long-range three-pointer, the Nuggets rested for two days before taking out the Toronto Raptors led by Anthony.
Extended the winning streak to 34 games.
History first!
A day later, back-to-back against New York, Xiao Si scored 37 points, but Lane still took 35 consecutive wins!
Previously, Ryan hadn't been too excited on a 33-game winning streak.
At the time, it was speculated that Ryan might just be unhappy with the tie and that he wanted to break the record, so he wasn't particularly excited.
Then it's 35 consecutive wins today, Ryan should be excited, right?
But in the lenses of the reporters, Ryan still looks unfazed:
"I can only rate our performance this season 60 points now, and if we can win a championship, it's 100 points."
The reporter deliberately asked rhetorically: "35 consecutive wins are only 60 points?" Some people have to divide seventy percent at every turn. ”
"Don't compare him with me, it's not that he's bad, it's mainly that my brother's requirements are a bit high.
You and I both know that I won't lose to him in this year's finals! ”
Ryan is now desperate to skip the regular season and jump straight into the playoffs.
But fans don't want the regular season to end there, and they still want the Nuggets to continue their winning streak.
Unfortunately, the 35-game winning streak is the swan song of this historical record.
Because a day later, the invincible battleship that had won 35 consecutive battles in back-to-back battles ran aground in Memphis.
The Grizzlies haven't had much attention this season, especially with their star Rudy. After Gay's reimbursement, this team is even less interesting.
But the truth is quite the opposite, Rudy. After Gay is sidelined due to injury. The Grizzlies are playing better!
No waves, no inefficient mid-range. The Grizzlies began to play positional battles one by one, and began to defend every ball that must be fought for.
In the original history, after Guy's injury, the Grizzlies played a good record of 17 wins and 8 losses, which is 14 percentage points higher than before Guy's injury.
After the Memphis Grizzlies didn't have Guy, it was like a change of soul and began to create frequent upsets in the league.
Including today's one.
87-82, the Nuggets lost by 5 points. The longest winning streak in NBA history stopped at 35 games.
However, 35 consecutive wins is already quite an achievement.
After the game, many people thought, "God just can't bear to let the lovely Memphis suffer anymore." ”
The implication: the grizzly bear has shit luck.
But in fact, this game made Ryan wary. He knew that grizzly bears weren't shit lucky.
Like the Mavericks, the Grizzlies have also beaten the Nuggets twice this season!
The Nuggets' interior defense was completely unable to withstand the destruction of the black and white bears.
Tony. Allen's defensive ability made Ryan's perimeter jumper rate fluctuate.
It is difficult to achieve the effect of the previous games against the Magic and Spurs, and directly cast the dead alive.
At first glance, Ryan also scored 34 points today, and his 43% shooting percentage is also considered passing for the outside.
But if there was another guy to defend, then Ryan might be able to increase his shooting percentage to 50%!
In that case, the winner won't be the grizzlies.
Tony's defense is good, not because he can directly lock up a superstar.
There is no player in this world who can lock a superstar directly.
But Tony was able to reduce the efficiency of almost every superstar he was up to, and that's what made him scary.
The perimeter shooting is not stable enough, and of course Ryan wants to play in the past?
Sorry, the Grizzlies are also very good on the inside.
It is impossible for a team to become a defensive powerhouse with a single defender.
Because no matter how strong the defender's defense is, it can't support a defensive system.
Payton was able to limit Jordan thanks to the fearsome forward group around him.
Tony can be so scary, thanks to the black and white bears behind him.
After Randolph arrived in Memphis, the defensive enthusiasm increased significantly.
As for Gasol, he doesn't have many block statistics, and the hot scene of the block is not as shocking as Warcraft.
But Gasol Jr. is one of the most balanced and versatile centers in the game, with excellent height, reach, and tonnage, as well as excellent defensive awareness, defensive judgment, defensive positional sense, and defensive skills.
He may not be able to block the hat, but he can greatly reduce the efficiency of his opponent's rimming.
In his career, he has won the "Kneeling Emperor Award" and the "Single Replacement Grandma Wang Award", which shows his strength.
The Great, the strongest Cameroonian French-American center. Grandma Wang, a FIBA legendary tyrant under the basket.
can be compared to the two of them, you know Xiao Jia's ability.
So in the face of the Grizzlies, it is difficult for Ryan to be really efficient, whether it is attacking the frame or jumping.
He won't be locked up directly, but efficiency just won't go up. It's always a little bit away from killing the game.
In addition to this, Conley's defensive ability is also very strong in the No. 1 position, and Battier will always appear in every gap.
Plus that skillful rotation. The Grizzlies' defense is an art!
Their defensive, slow-paced team may make the game nothing to watch, but it's definitely a real winning strategy.
The Memphis Grizzlies are by no means the eighth-division team in the West in the true sense of the word!
Ryan remembers the 2011 playoffs in the original history, when the Grizzlies took a shot at the Spurs, and then fought with the Thunder until they tied for seven before losing.
And that round of the series, to be honest, the whistle was a bit of a thunderbolt. Otherwise, who can make the cut.
Therefore, the Grizzlies are definitely a team with the strength of the Quasi-Western Finals!
The reason why they are in eighth place is purely because Guy is the star of the house who was injured too late.
However, just like the Mavericks, who almost won the Nuggets before, no one cares about the Grizzlies.
Nobody cares how good they are.
People are talking about the Nuggets' 35-game winning streak and their stellar regular season record.
However, people at this time probably didn't expect that the 35-game winning streak would not be the final honor for Ryan in this year's regular season.
The Nuggets won 14 of the remaining 16 games of the regular season.
A loss to the Heat, but that didn't excite James fans, as Ryan didn't play that day because he had the flu.
The other game was lost to the Thunder, which was also a game with nothing to say, and the Thunder team had a three-point outburst.
And when the Nuggets took out the Jazz on the last day of the season, two more records that were thought to be impossible to be touched again were touched by Ryan.
"A victory without suspense! It was also the Nuggets' 72nd win in a single season!
Lane's greatness goes without saying!
We never imagined that there would be a second team in the world to win 70 in the regular season.
We never thought the Denver Nuggets would be able to do that.
The Nuggets' starting five Tigers have champions, lottery picks, second rounds, and even draft picks.
Their construction doesn't fit the image of a strong team, but they do what countless strong teams can't!
When the Nuggets formed this team last summer, no one thought they would be able to win more than 55 games.
Last summer, we all thought it was going to be a season for the Heat's Big Three.
But now, the Nuggets are on a par with the 96 Bulls!
And the Heat aren't even number one in the East!
A 35-game winning streak is followed by 72 wins, and the Nuggets' dominance this season is unquestionable.
Lane personally also scored 35.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 10.8 assists, 2.1 steals and 2.4 blocks this season!
That's right, Oscar. Robertson's first triple-double per game since then!
Ryan, who hasn't played well for two years, has embarrassed the world as soon as he comes back!
Is 72 wins + 35 consecutive wins + triple-double per game in a single season Ryan the best in history?
I'm not sure yet, but he's a convincing candidate! ”
Mike. After Brin finished speaking, the Miami fans broke the defense.
No, now you can't say a word about yin and yang, right?
How can this also lead to the Heat's second-place record in the East?
Second, what's wrong?
The second is not bad!
The Heat became the joke of the whole world.
Last summer, they formed a big three, and the media exaggerated that the Heat could win 82 in a row before the season began.
As a result, they didn't even have 60 wins this season, and their record was not as good as the Bulls led by third-year Rose!
Now everyone knows why Ross didn't bother to recruit Wade and Ajan.
The two of them add a piece yet, and Ross is alone.
and Ryan, who won 72 wins, can't be compared.
After the game, some people also asked Ryan how to compare the records of the Heat and the Nuggets this season.
I thought that Ryan would take advantage of the topic to play, but he just spread his hands:
"The performance in the regular season is just a reference, and who will survive the playoffs will have to be played to know.
All we have to do now is concentrate and carry the magic of the regular season into the playoffs.
As for the comparison, there is no need for that, right?
It's not 72 wins vs. 70 wins, it's 72 wins vs. 58 wins.
There is nothing to compare, the gap is obvious. ”
Ryan has no yin and yang weirdness, and the whole thing directly highlights a disdain!
At this time, Ryan is really not in the mood to care about the Heat.
For the Heat, Ryan is confident that he can win.
But with two opponents, Ryan has to be very careful now.
After this year's rankings are officially out, the Nuggets' opponent in the first round is the Memphis Grizzlies, who previously broke the Nuggets' winning streak!
The opponent in the second round is the winner between the Lakers and the Thunder.
In the third round, they will face the Dallas Mavericks, who are 2-2 against the Nuggets in the regular season this year!
And the Grizzlies and Mavericks are the only two teams that can beat the Nuggets twice this season!
The Nuggets lost a total of 10 games in a season, and they contributed 40%.
So, it's not to blame Ryan for being too scum to abandon Ajan.
The main thing is that the temptation outside is really too great!
You have to get rid of them before you can beat Ajan in the finals.
You have to get the colored flags outside right first, so that the red flags in Ajan's house can flutter.
Who is Ryan and Ajan? Beating him up is like beating his own son.
But the Grizzly Bear and the Mavericks, I'm afraid, can't accept such a violent beating to Ryan.
Because the Nuggets' regular season results were so dazzling, the whole world felt that it was a sure thing that they would pass the first round.
Grizzly bears are strong? Come on, which good guy would go to the Grizzlies game?
The Grizzlies' all-season live games in the United States combined, have not been as many live games in the United States as the Nuggets have been in half a month.
Therefore, few people have seen the Grizzly Bear's ball, and even if they do, they can't remember it.
All you know is that the Grizzlies are a team that has lost its star Guy and barely made the playoffs.
They had no idea that the grizzly bear had completed its metamorphosis.
And judging by the urine of previous seasons, Ryan has never liked to waste more time in the first round.
Then, when the Grizzlies crushed the Nuggets 98-92 in Game 1 of the playoffs.
The whole world is stupid!
"Impossible! How is this possible? The Grizzlies won 46 and beat the Nuggets with 72 wins! ”
"The most unexpected upset ever! The Denver miners got off to a bad start! ”
"Amazing Memphis, played a magical game!"
"It's worth mentioning that this is the first playoff win in the history of the Memphis Grizzlies!
In their first victory, they beat a legendary team! ”
Memphis was jubilant, and for the first time, the small city with no sense of presence felt respected.
How did the Nuggets lose?
Lose in the hit rate is too low!
The Grizzlies' defense is not all about pinch shots.
As a result, the Nuggets don't have many open three-point opportunities.
It just so happened that today Ryan didn't feel good and the shot was taken by Tony. Aaron defended frequently.
Tony now. Allen, the defensive ability is stronger than when he played the finals in '08.
He is more mature, smarter and calmer.
Aside from being slightly shorter, he's pretty much a perfect perimeter defender.
To defend this thing, physical condition is the foundation. Such as traversing speed, arm span, etc.
Execution and enthusiasm are the second layer, many players are in very good physical condition, but because they are too lazy to defend, they will still be stabbed by tens of thousands of people, such as Anthony.
Prediction, skill and positional sense are the third layer, and with the physicality and attitude, the defensive skills are good, and that's a terrible defensive player.
Tony. Allen is such a top defensive player with three layers of ability!
After this game, Ryan also admitted that Tony deserves to be a defensive player who is praised by most scoring masters.
However, the result of this game did not change people's psychological expectations.
Fans still feel that the Nuggets are just taking a nap.
How could the Grizzlies possibly cause trouble for the Nuggets.
But in Denver's second home court, the Grizzlies played exactly the same result!
Of course, the process is not the same.
In the second battle, Ryan, who felt hot, was no longer held down by Tony.
He scored 43 points from the game, allowing Tony to score 43 points. Aaron was exhausted.
But the Grizzlies, they controlled the rest of the Nuggets.
The most important thing is that the black and white bears have penetrated the Nuggets' interior line!
Randolph went down to earth for 31 points, and Millsap couldn't stand the backrest of this fat man with a big ass at all.
Mark. Gasol scored 24 points on 9-of-10 shooting!
That's right, a full 90% hit rate!
Kevin. With his height and strength crushed, Lefu is completely unable to restrain the big white bear under the basket!
Ryan naturally knows that he has to help defend, but no matter how strong he is, it is impossible to help defend Randolph and Gasol at the same time.
When Ryan goes to the basket to pinch Gasol, Randolph can get a single opportunity.
Similarly, when Ryan went to help defend Randolph, the big black bear was able to find Gasol under the basket as soon as possible and let him eat Lefu alone.
The Nuggets originally formed this lineup because the league-wide team with a low offensive style is almost extinct.
But who would have thought that the Memphis Grizzlies would inherit the last will of this traditional style of play!
Unexpectedly, the Nuggets met the Grizzlies in the playoffs!
The Nuggets' problem of being too short on the inside has been completely targeted in the playoffs!
In the second game, the Grizzlies not only maintained their defensive level, but also played well on the offensive end.
The Grizzlies won the Nuggets' first two home games and took a 2-0 lead in eighth place in the West.
It's not hard to imagine how shocked the world was.
A team that picked up a historic 35 wins during the regular season.
A team with 72 wins all season.
A team with a star player averaging a triple-double per game.
In the first round of the playoffs, facing the eighth place, he lost two games in a row!
For a while, the media eager to see the Nuggets have an accident went crazy:
"Once again, it's been proven that offensive teams are only good in the regular season."
"It's an eternal truth that defense wins championships!"
"The Memphis Grizzlies have shown the world that old-school play isn't completely eliminated!"
"So I've said before that it's not rigorous to judge Ryan by his achievements in the regular season.
Have you ever seen the best player of all time blackballed? ”
"The playoffs are different, and the playoffs are always more targeted. Our expectations for the Nuggets are a little too high. ”
The Grizzlies players were also in high spirits.
Tony. Allen couldn't be more excited after winning the second game:
"We just tried to defend as much as we could, not give them any space to shoot, and then try to not make Ryan feel comfortable playing.
When Ryan's leading light doesn't come on, the rest of the Nuggets naturally can't find a way forward. ”
The great black bear who turned back to the prodigal son roared passionately:
"I'm willing to give everything for Memphis! I know you don't believe me, but I'm going to start winning! ”
Grizzlies coach Lionel. Hollins even directly admitted:
"We deliberately went against the Denver Nuggets!
If we play against the Spurs or the Mavericks, we may not have an advantage.
Because they have Duncan and Tyson on the inside.
But the Nuggets are a team that doesn't have a traditional interior line, and our offense will be easier.
And, we beat them twice in the regular season.
While Ryan is remarkable, the Nuggets' 35-game winning streak and 72-win streak are as incredible as mythology.
But we do have a little more certainty in playing the Nuggets! ”
As soon as Hollins said this, he was instantly famous in the United States.
Deliberately sniping at a team with 72 wins?
I don't know if Hollins has the ability, but the courage is really big!
When this guy goes to eat the fruit bowl, I'm afraid he has to shout "Don't be under 40, it's not challenging".
But Hollins pretended to beep and sniped the 72-win team, and he was about to do it!
With just two more wins, his Grizzlies would be the greatest Black Eight team in history.
Other teams, Black Eight, at most, beat the first place.
But the Grizzlies, they're about to beat a team with 72 wins!
The fact that the Grizzlies led the Heat 2-0 naturally made James feel good.
On his side, the Heat already led the 76ers 2-0, and the first round was easy.
At the press conference, reporters also asked him about the Nuggets.
James's smile was simply irrepressibly revealed:
"Hahaha, I said before, the playoffs are everything.
As a result, some people actually said that I was jealous of Ryan.
Now you know, right? I'm right!
Success in the regular season should not be confused with the playoffs.
Before, you were all clamoring to know how many games the Nuggets could win the championship, but now you don't have to worry about it.
Because now you have to think about whether the Nuggets can make it past the first round!
I'd love to play Ryan in the finals, but I'm afraid he won't be able to come. ”
James ended the press conference proudly, feeling so good that he seemed to take a sip of iced Coke and immediately hiccup.
It's refreshing!
In fact, James didn't expect the Grizzlies to be a problem, that team had no stars, a small ball market, no large-scale changes in lineups, and the stars at home were reimbursed for the season.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like cannon fodder.
But their defense in the playoffs is really impressive, and in fact, James can't guarantee that he will perform better than Ryan in the series against the Grizzlies.
He knew that the Grizzlies weren't just lucky, but actually grabbed two games in the Rocky Mountains.
But this is called standing and talking without backache.
He deliberately didn't mention the strength of the grizzly bear, just taunted Ryan vigorously.
Miami fans have the feeling of being stuffed in a confined space for a long time, and now they can finally come out and take a breath.
Throughout the season, the Heat's Big Three lived in Ryan's shadow.
It's not that they're not good, it's that Ryan is too good.
He was so perfect that he didn't even look like a real person.
But now, here comes his imperfections!
When Ryan is knocked out of the tournament, people will forget about 72 wins, forget about 35 consecutive wins, forget about averaging triple-doubles per game.
The only thing people remember is the Big Three who made it to the top!
Heat fans feel like they've won.
The next two games will go to Memphis, and the Grizzlies will be able to win at least one.
After getting the match point, the Grizzlies will do their best.
Ryan's legendary story begins with the miracle of the Black Eight, so this time, let him also taste the pain of being blacked eight!
It was as if the Nuggets had fallen from the clouds to hell and were shattered.
Those who didn't dare to speak before all attacked in droves, trying to trample Ryan and the Nuggets down.
But in fact, it is normal for the Nuggets to fall behind the Grizzlies, and during the regular season, the Grizzlies have already shown good strength, but the fans and the media themselves don't remember.
Again, the Grizzlies are just pretending to be eighth in the West, and they definitely have the strength to be in the top three in the West.
The question is not to lose twice to eighth place, it's a question of how to turn the game around.
On a flight to Memphis, Mike. Malone is reviewing the footage of the game against the Grizzlies over and over again.
The Grizzlies' defense was too good, and the interior offense hit the Nuggets' soft underbelly.
He thought about replacing Millsap and Love with Nene and the Birdmen, but that would also make it easier for the Nuggets to attack and it would be harder for Ryan to score.
Although in the 07-08 season, Ryan almost led the team to win the championship when there was no space.
But the team's defense then and now can't be confused.
Nene + Birdman, no matter how much you can't prevent the effect of Big Ben + AK47.
No, it must not be made more difficult for Ryan's attack.
Although the Grizzlies are a defensive team, they can't always run away from problems. Now it's up to you how to beat their tough defense with offense!
Mike. When Malone was at a loss, Ryan came over with two cups of coffee and sat next to Mallon.
Then he placed one of the cups on the small table in front of Malone.
"I'm struggling, Mike."
Mike. Marlon took a sip of coffee and rubbed his bloodshot eyes: "It's all my fault, I noticed the grizzly bear a long time ago, I should have come up with a solution earlier." ”
"Don't say that, although you performed very well as a great onmyoji, as a head coach, you are still just a rookie in the end."
Mike. Malone was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Ryan to be in the mood to joke at this time.
"Ryan, don't tell me you haven't done your best in the first two games."
"Do you think I'm a fool? Not doing your best in the playoffs? This is not a hot-blooded comic, the protagonist can obviously kill the opponent but has to wave.
I'm not going to joke about the playoffs, of course I did my best.
But Tony and the Bears will praise them if we win in the end.
Their defensive combination is a really tricky combination for me. ”
"So, you've figured out how to win?"
"Yes, the Grizzlies' defense has its flaws, too.
Both the black and white bears are too slow, and if they can create misalignments to hit them, it will be easy to score.
We've got to use pick-and-rolls to force them to change their guards! ”
Malone shook his head: "I tried to block and dismantle in the last game, but Tony's ability to go around the cover is too strong, and you didn't get a few opportunities to play misposition, did you?" ”
Ryan also took a sip of coffee:
"Tony is really strong, I said I'd praise him, you remember to remind me when the time comes.
But I attracted Tony, so I could let someone else do the pick-and-roll and find the misalignment.
Kyle has limited scoring explosiveness, and Matthews can't play with the ball.
So I suggest that we use Jamal. Crawford starts!
I know that this will weaken our defense, but since we are an offensive team, we will go all the way to the black!
We need to have a guy who can kill people by scoring, go to the pick-and-roll to find misalignment, and torture the nerves of the two bears.
And I, of course, I'm not sitting on my laurels.
When the pressure on the offensive end is reduced, I will work harder on the defensive end, and I will find a way to help defend on the inside and contain the offense of the Bears!
We can win Mike.
Because I don't want to see LeBron say in a press conference again:
Hey, I told you guys that the Nuggets can't work. You should respect me because I'm the greatest! ”
Malone laughed, and Ryan imitated James's tone of voice.
But does this strategy really work?
Ryan is confident, and his confidence comes from the 2015 Western Conference semifinals.
At that time, the Warriors, who had not won the championship and no one believed that they could win the championship, encountered the terrible Grizzlies.
Everyone knows that the Warriors' interior line is very thin. In fact, the birth of the Death Five Little thing is a bit of a helplessness.
In the end, the Warriors really didn't have an inside line, so they put a five-small position.
In that series, the Warriors' small lineup made it easy for the Bears, and the Grizzlies once took a 2-1 lead.
But after that, Kerr took advantage of the Grizzlies' defensive weaknesses.
That is, the bears are moving too slowly.
Kerr asked Green to take turns playing pick-and-rolls with Curry, Klay, and Barnes, leaving the Black and White Bears exhausted in roll-call training after the pick-and-roll.
In the end, the Warriors won three cities in a row and reversed the promotion!
The current Nuggets are similar to the Warriors of 15 years, and they can't be defended inside.
On the outside, the Nuggets don't have a guard combination of Curry + Thompson.
But for Ryan, a Crawford boost was enough.
Crawford doesn't have to kill the game himself, he just needs to help Ryan take some of the pressure off his shoulders.
Ryan's current mentality is still good, although he is 0-2 behind, but after all, he is facing a grizzly bear, and it is normal to take off a layer of skin.
Can you take off a layer of skin and let me die?
Peel off a layer of skin and just want to see my jokes?
Don't even think about it!
After the plane landed, Ryan turned on his phone and saw a video of James being interviewed mocking himself.
He reposted the video to his social media, with the caption:
"Cherish LeBron, there's not much time left for you to fantasize."
Today's 10,000-word update is presented, and the conscience of the old man kneels and begs for a monthly pass!
