Chapter 40 040: King of Denver, live forever!
After Ryan scored the 15th goal of the day, the game was completely over.
Trailing by 22 points, the Suns players were still tortured by the thin air in the Denver plateau.
But physical exhaustion is not the most desperate thing for Sun. The most desperate thing is psychological exhaustion.
When you face an opponent who can make 15 of 15 shots and never seems to make a mistake, your self-confidence will also be completely destroyed.
It is often said that every great comeback starts with defense.
In fact, this is not the case. Every earth-shattering reversal starts from the heart.
Only if the players don't give up and still have confidence can a great comeback be possible.
But it's obvious that the Suns no longer have this basic condition.
Originally, the summer league team was formed temporarily and there was not much cohesion at all.
Coupled with Ryan's terrible performance of 15 of 15, the Suns gave up completely.
Now, all the Suns players are thinking is "How can we beat this guy?"
As for Stoudemire, he is completely emo.
Originally, he could be on the beach in California, holding a sister in bikini in his left hand and a sister in spiked pants in his right hand.
But now, he was fucked so hard by Ryan that he couldn't even cry!
The head coach of the Suns Summer League team saw that the players had completely given up, so within a few rounds after that, the Suns put on a full bench lineup.
In Ryan's first performance in the NBA, the game went into garbage time!
Although it was just an informal performance, it was already amazing enough.
It deserves such high attention!
Because the game entered garbage time, Ryan was also replaced early.
In this way, his 15-for-15 shooting percentage was maintained until the end!
98 to 83, the Nuggets finally defeated the Suns lightly and won their first win in the summer league.
Stoudemire had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks. His performance as the Rookie of the Year was nothing short of outstanding.
But in front of Ryan's 30 points with a 100% shooting rate, everything eclipsed!
These two people stand together, just like the 400-speed man and the 1200-speed man standing together. When there is no comparison, the 400-speed one seems to be okay. But after comparison, the 400-speed one is completely unsightly!
At the end of the game, the Rookie of the Year, who was so arrogant before the game, could only walk away quickly with his head lowered.
Stoudemire, who was overwhelmed with shame, did not accept any interviews from reporters, and squeezed out of the crowd and walked directly into the player tunnel.
Is that possible without shame? For two consecutive times, his game with Ryan didn't even reach the end!
Ryan once again became the focus of the audience. Despite the huge attention and pressure, he made no mistakes and played a perfect game.
Kroenke can now go home and tell his wife that he has made another perfect investment!
At this time, reporters had a lot of questions to ask Ryan:
"Ryan, are you surprised by your shooting percentage today?"
“Not surprisingly, my teammates helped me create too many good opportunities, especially Nene, whose pick-and-roll made me very comfortable on the offensive end.
I was just hitting open jumpers over and over again.
When you have such good teammates, you can always hit the target. "
With the world watching, Ryan showed his mature side.
Instead of taking all the credit on himself, he praised Nene by name.
but.
Everyone knows that Ryan is not that honest person.
It didn’t take long for Lane to show off his features in an answer.
"Ryan, although you played very well today,...
Are you afraid of NBA-level interior defense, so you shoot outside? Today, it seems like you didn't attack the basket much. "
This reporter obviously has no good intentions and is deliberately trying to find fault. Maybe he is a media company that cooperates with Nike.
Ryan was no longer modest this time. After listening to the question, he laughed disdainfully:
“That’s because I promised Mr. Rookie of the Year during the game that I didn’t even need to be in the paint to hit him.
Otherwise it would be too bullying.
If you don't believe it, you can ask him if I have said this.
This is the case even if I don’t enter the three-second zone. If I enter the three-second zone.
After all, this is just the summer league, so I'd better save some face for Stoudemire. "
After saying that, Ryan hid his merit and fame and walked into the players' tunnel, leaving only the reporters stunned.
Wasn't it because he took the initiative not to enter the three-second zone that he beat Stoudemire like this?
Stoudemire is the best rookie!
Where is Ryan's upper limit? ?
He is mature and decent when facing his teammates, but he is constantly venomous when facing his opponents.
Now there is no need for Wesley to use media relations, the media will find newsmakers like Ryan on their own!
When Ryan walked into the locker room after the interview, he found that clean towels and disposable slippers had been placed next to his locker.
When Ryan was confused, Harrington came up and patted Ryan on the shoulder with a smile:
"Get some rest. You did a great job today! Do you want to drink ice water? Or hot water? I heard that Chinese people like to drink hot water."
"Uh, let's have a cappuccino."
"Ah, I'll go out and buy it right now!"
"You're kidding, you really should go, I can just pour the water myself."
After Ryan sat down, he found Harrington still staring at him.
"Are you hungry? You've just arrived in Denver and you're not familiar with it?
I'll take you out for fast food, and you can have a full set meal if you want. "
Ryan:.
It's just a full set of fast food, what are you talking about?
In Ryan's previous life, he often licked himself when he got rich, but he didn't expect that after he became rich and famous in this life, he would be the first to lick himself, but it would be a grown man!
"Aren't you hungry? Let's talk about it later. Remember, if you need anything in Denver, call me anytime"
Ryan was still confused as to how Harrington, whom he was completely unfamiliar with before and could not speak more than five sentences, suddenly became so enthusiastic.
One look at the data sheet and Ryan understood.
Harrington scored a double-double today with 11 points and 10 assists. Among them, 10 assists were obtained by Ryan.
For an undrafted player who doesn't know where his next contract will be, every game he plays in summer league is about his job.
Now that he has finally found a partner like Ryan who can assist him, shouldn't he try to curry favor with him?
Ryan shook his head. When I first entered the league, I had to be a big player. I was under pressure that I should not bear at this age.
Immediately afterwards, Nene also walked up to Ryan.
Nene didn't lick like Harrington without any limit, but the master stretched out his hand:
"Ryan, thank you for mentioning me in front of the media."
Ryan shook hands with Nene: "I'm just telling the truth. You played well. Together, we can sweep the entire summer league!"
The Brazilian smiled: "Well! If you encounter trouble on the court in the future, I will be there."
Ryan then realized that Nene was a good fighter in the NBA.
Jimmy Butler, the toughest man in the NBA, once provoked Nene when he was young and frivolous. As a result, he almost made Jordan send the black-haired man away.
With this buddy protecting me, my future trash talk will be even more vicious!
In this way, Ryan received a perfect debut and the respect of his teammates.
The media also directly blasted Ryan. You know, the most terrifying hit in NBA history was "Glove" Payton's 14-for-14 in January 1995.
What? You said Chamberlain's 18-for-18 in a single game?
Don't let ancient data interfere with modern basketball!
As for Ryan, he actually scored 15-for-15!
If this were an NBA game, Ryan would directly break Payton's record.
Ryan's perfect summer league debut put great pressure on Nike.
Now Ryan has surpassed Ajan in terms of popularity because of being elected as the No. 1 pick and receiving a billion-dollar sneaker contract.
Nike originally said that it would take advantage of the summer league to let James overtake in a corner.
But unexpectedly, Ryan could actually bend the drainage channel!
15 out of 15...can you catch up? It would be nice not to be left too far behind!
It's not that Nike doesn't trust Ajan, but if Ajan wants to perform more explosively than 15-for-15, then he probably can only replicate the coach's 100 points in a single game.
There is no way, in order to keep Ajan hot, Nike can only bite the bullet and blow.
So the next day, in addition to reporting on Ryan's astonishing 15-for-15 performance, the major sports TV stations were also actively discussing an issue:
"Is LeBron more like Jordan or more like Magic?"
It has to be said that since Ajan signed with Nike, Ajan's appearance in the media has become higher and higher.
Moreover, he is often placed with Magic or Jordan.
Hooks are really powerful in this regard.
But the tone of "more like Magic or more like Jordan" seems to be too high and has the opposite effect.
The next day, Ajan made his summer league debut and scored 25 points on 12-of-20 shots.
For a high school rookie, this is already amazing.
But after the game, all the media said was:
"Magic or Jordan? Neither, LeBron should become Ryan first."
"Stop talking about two of the greatest guards in history. LeBron isn't even the greatest in this draft!"
"Less than 30 points in Summer League? This is the worst time Magic and Jordan have been hacked."
Because of Nike's excessive marketing this time, it actually made Ajan's amazing performance no longer amazing!
Nike put aside this crazy collision between Magic and Jordan, but James' performance was not as good as Ryan's. It's strange that the fans can buy it.
Neither Nike nor James were willing to lose to Ryan in the summer league, so they also placed their hopes on the next few games.
But Nike didn't expect that Ajan would hit the peak after his debut.
Because Ajan's performance after his debut was not as good as every game. In the last game against the Heat, he only made 2 of 14 shots and had two three-pointers.
And because he missed two key free throws, the team's chance to tie the score was ruined.
After losing to Wade in this strong dialogue, doubts began to appear.
Some media said that Cleveland should choose Anthony, while others felt that James was not worthy of the 90 million contract.
On the other hand, although Ryan did not perform as exaggeratedly as he did in the first game in the following games, Ryan's efficiency has always been very online because of Nene, a pick-and-roll maniac.
The Nuggets eventually won the Southern California Summer League championship, while James' Cavaliers lost in the Boston Summer League.
In terms of personal data, James averaged 15.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game in the summer league.
Ryan had 24.6 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists!
In the summer league competition, there is no doubt that Ryan won in the end!
With Ryan's popularity rising, he will undoubtedly take the lead when it comes to announcing signature sneakers before the season.
Reebok now beats Nike 1-0!
After the summer league, no one doubted Ryan anymore. But in the summer league, naturally some people are happy and some are worried.
Poor Harrington was still abandoned by the Nuggets. But the good news is that he successfully received an offer from the Hornets, with a contract value of up to .7 million.
I don’t know why, but in his previous life, Ryan made a huge profit of 4,000 a month. Now when he sees a figure like 700,000, he feels as calm as if his heart was sealed with cement.
In order to thank Ryan, Harrington specially gave Ryan a pennant!
“Hahahaha, I originally wanted to buy a gold chain, but I thought it might be too vulgar for you.
I heard that you Chinese people like to give this thing as a gift, so I found someone to customize it.
Lago, do you like it? "
Ryan really wanted to reply: "I am actually a common person! Give me lots of gold chains!"
After thanking him and hanging up the phone, Ryan opened the newly delivered banner, which seemed to have several Chinese characters written on it:
“King of Denver, live forever.
Presented by Harrington, Lane's most loyal servant.
July 18, 2003. "
Ryan:.
Forget it, just hang it in the living room.
It can also be considered a personal honor.
The summer league ended without any challenge.
But Ryan is not satisfied with this small victory over Nike and James.
Next season's regular season, we have to continue to suppress it!
Speaking of next season, every team in the league is also strengthening its lineup for the new season.
The Timberwolves have found two good-looking anchors in Cassell and Sprewell for Garnett.
The classic Timberwolves three-headed monster has officially taken shape.
After the Lakers lost to the Spurs, they acquired Karl Malone and Payton to form the F4 combination that shocked the world.
Of course, these historical changes did not surprise Ryan.
To Ryan's surprise, the Warriors successfully retained Jamison and Arenas, the No. 1 Lancer in the US server, this summer!
In the original history, because Arenas was snatched away by the Wizards, the Warriors simply rebuilt and traded away Jamison.
But in this history, because the Warriors had Yao Ming as the top pick last season and took away some of the ball rights, Arenas's data was not very impressive.
Therefore, the Wizards did not give Arenas a large offer, which allowed the Warriors to successfully renew Arenas.
And because Arenas didn't leave, the Warriors didn't trade Jamison.
In other words.
The Warriors retain the core lineup of Arenas + Jamison + Yao Ming!
Looking at these transfer news, Ryan swallowed his saliva.
It’s really the Wild West!
If Ryan remembers correctly, in the original 2003-04 season, there were six 50-win teams in the Western Conference and only two in the Eastern Conference.
Add to this history the Warriors...it is really not easy to make the playoffs in the Western Conference.
Nike is also laughing. The messier the Western Conference is, the lower the probability of Ryan entering the playoffs!
The Eastern Conference is different. It is relatively easier for the Eastern Conference to enter the playoffs. Next season, there is a high probability that Ajan will make the playoffs but Ryan will not.
When Ajan enters the playoffs next season, he must vigorously promote this aspect and counterattack Ryan!
But while other teams are frantically making reinforcements, the Nuggets are not idle either.
One night in mid-July, Ryan saw a piece of news on TV that was good for the Nuggets:
"'Little Basics' Andre Miller finally chose the Nuggets' 6-year, 55 million contract among multiple offers. Next season, he will join forces with No. 1 pick Ryan!
Ryan smiled happily, he felt a lot more at ease now.
I was originally worried that Miller wouldn't be able to come because of the butterfly effect. But fortunately, Karen Mok finally came!
And with Ryan's current style of play, as long as you give him an excellent point guard, he can take off!
Making the playoffs in the Wild West? Doesn't seem impossible!
The Cavaliers, who think it is not difficult to enter the playoffs, have not made any reinforcements for Ajan in this history.
Nike and the Cavaliers are both dreaming about the glorious moment when Ajan will be carried into the playoffs next season, and they are all dreaming about killing Ryan.
But the Denver Nuggets have quietly grown stronger.
If Ryan makes the playoffs in the Wild West and James doesn't make the playoffs in the weak East...
Suddenly, Ryan was looking forward to the new season.
Today’s 8K update is presented. There is no more conscientious update in the public period than me! I am a conscientious old man, kneeling down to beg for further reading, monthly tickets, and rewards, and thank the Lord for His grace!
