Chapter 43 043: I’ve never heard of a lion being afraid of a lone wolf!
Ryan does have the confidence to wrestle with Garnett.
Because the system of the Nuggets in this history is completely different from the original history.
In the original history, the Nuggets did not think about signing Budenholzer because Anthony did not show many highlights in off-ball offense in college and high school.
On the contrary, that is still his weakness.
Therefore, the Nuggets' tactical arrangements naturally did not consider that development in the past.
But now because of Ryan's playing style, Kiki Vandeweghe has the idea of creating a no-ball system.
The cooperation between Budenholzer and Bzdelik has produced unexpected positive effects.
Originally, Bzdelik's offensive tactics manual was as thick as the "Han Guo Sports Code of Ethics" and the "Chinese Men's Football Book of Honor".
Now that Budenholzer is here, the Nuggets have a complete tactical system to support both offense and defense.
And the system on both offense and defense is very suitable for Ryan!
Playing under a suitable system, Ryan is naturally confident to perform well.
Not only Ryan, but Bzdelik can't wait to practice against a strong team like the Timberwolves.
It's like you have been practicing in the gym for a long time and finally developed a good figure. You are eager to find a chance to show it off in front of the most beautiful female colleagues.
Bzdelik has this mentality now. I have trained the Nuggets so well, and I must let others know about it.
My old man has never fought such a wealthy battle in his life!
However, it is not the Nuggets who think so at this time.
Nike also wants everyone to know how powerful the Cavaliers are.
From Nike's perspective, it's not a big problem for the Cavaliers to make the playoffs this year.
After all, the Cavaliers already have an All-Star center in Ilgauskas.
There's also Ricky Davis - a scorer who isn't too bright but is certainly talented.
Therefore, when Nike announced the release of James' first-generation sneakers, a major promotional slogan was: "Unlike other rookies, we embarked on the road to the playoffs from the first day."
This is undoubtedly the first year in Yin Yang Lane that I can only watch Ajan enter the playoffs!
Just when Nike thought it had the upper hand, Reebok’s promotional slogan of the Lane Generation stunned Nike:
"Nine points in the first game? Don't worry, that's not the level of the No. 1 pick.
The journey to the NBA begins with Ryan’s generation, so stay tuned! "
Nike:? ? ?
Ah, no. You are not yin and yang anymore, you are directly showing black!
The fact that you mentioned 9 points in a single game makes it seem like we were a big grievance by giving Ajan a 90 million contract!
A Zhan is also convinced, Reebok, are you necromancers? Why can the memories of the dead suddenly start attacking me?
With the capabilities of Reebok's advertising department, it is natural that they cannot come up with such a highly targeted advertisement.
The idea for this ad came from Ryan himself!
There is no way, Reebok is pointing at Ryan to turn over, so Ryan has a great say in Reebok.
For example, Reebok did take his suggestions and restarted and improved its shoe inflation technology.
The Ryan generation can not only inflate the shoe body with one click, but also automatically adjust the tightness of the shoelaces with one click, a bit like the cool automatic Nike shoes in the "Back to the Future" movie.
Although it is far less sci-fi than the hook in the movie, the technology of one-click inflation and elastic shoelaces is actually not complicated.
But this technologically rich sneaker still attracted huge attention.
Even the design compromised with Lane. It was just an advertising slogan, and Reebok was even more willing to listen to Lane's suggestions.
After signing with Reebok, Ryan's biggest feeling is - it feels so good to be a father!
While Reebok wanted to pay Ryan a large sum of money, it also had to listen to Ryan's words.
Is this an endorsement? This is obviously a good guy.
This wave of Reebok advertisements directly killed Nike.
The Ryan Generation, which is full of science fiction, sold very well once it was released.
And because they hired two of Nike's future designers, the sneakers have a more attractive look, without the bulkiness of previous Reebok sneakers.
No need to look at other data. On the day of release, dozens of Reebok stores across the country experienced zero-dollar purchases, and the ones "bought" were all Lane Generations. This incident is enough to illustrate the popularity of Lane Generations!
In North America, whether a product will be purchased for zero dollars is the most authentic way to test whether it is popular.
Long queues to purchase may be the result of hired actors, and do not truly reflect the popularity of a product.
But there are many stores across the country that are purchased for zero yuan, which shows that it is really loved by the people!
Judging from the momentum at the beginning, the sales of the James generation were suppressed by the Ryan generation.
Now Nike can really only hope that Ryan will overturn in his debut.
After all, no matter how well designed, no one would spend money to buy a loser’s signature shoes!
Just like ripped socks must be worn on beautiful women to look good, signature shoes must be worn by winners to look good!
Reebok, don’t think you are safe!
October 29, the second day of the new NBA season, is after the opening game.
James and Ryan, two high-profile rookies, are about to appear!
Stern did not arrange James and Ryan for the opening game, not because they were not qualified, but because Stern wanted to give the fans wonderful shows for two consecutive days!
You can't put all your eggs in one basket. The superstars supported the ratings on the first day, so the two super rookies Ryan and James will support the ratings on the second day.
No matter how gorgeous the rumors are, no matter how brilliant the achievements in student days are, the NBA is very realistic.
As long as he does not perform well enough in the NBA, all the previous praise and praise will be wiped out.
Both Ryan and James need to convince the world with outstanding performances and wins.
Fans are also looking forward to it and want to know whether Ryan and James are just appearances or the real deal.
Not just Ryan and James, but Anthony, Milicic, Wade.
All of them are today's protagonists.
Denver, Pepsi Center, the benefits Ryan brings to the team are obvious.
This season, the Nuggets have sold more season tickets than they have in the past five years combined.
Luxurious private room? Sorry, in addition to having money, you have to make an appointment in advance to be able to book it.
Kevin Garnett looked at the bustling Pepsi Center and geared up.
He knows that fans all over the country, if not the world, are paying attention to this game!
And as long as he can perform well, he can steal Ryan's limelight and become the focus of the world!
This old boy Stern is so interesting. This is like giving me a traffic refueling package!
The warm-up is over, and the starting lineups of both teams are in place.
When Ryan approached the center circle, Garnett, a talkative man, also began to say hello to Ryan in advance:
"Rookie, in this cruel jungle of the NBA, be careful not to be torn to pieces by evil wolves!"
Although Garnett had asked Ryan to sign his autograph before, it was just a commercial activity.
Now that he has left AND1, and Ryan has signed with Reebok, there is no need to pretend anymore.
This evil wolf showed his sharp fangs!
Garnett thought that his fierce expression and serious tone just now were enough to make a rookie tremble.
But Ryan just turned to look at KG calmly:
"I've never heard of a lion being afraid of a lone wolf, Kevin."
The "madman" on the side immediately laughed:
"Kevin, forget it, I told you before that you are the only one who thinks you are very intimidating.
Hey rookie, your opponent today is me!
Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you don't let me get 40 points, you will be considered qualified! "
Ryan shook his head. It seemed that Cassel, the ugliest person on the team, was actually the most normal person.
Garnett and Madman are both still living in a dream.
The referee is ready to kick off, and the starting five players of both teams are also ready.
For the Timberwolves, the starting five for the new season are Cassell, Madman, Trenton Hassell, Garnett and "Sugar Man" Olowokandi.
The lineup on paper is indeed strong!
Cassell is a genuine championship guard. If his appearance hadn't easily scared children, he would have been an All-Star.
The Madman was once a first-team defender, and now he still has a lot of gas in the tank.
Not to mention Garnett, he is a strong contender for MVP.
After the formation of the three-headed monster, the Timberwolves are considered by everyone to be one of the championship teams this year.
The Nuggets' starters are Miller, Wash Leonard, Ryan, James Posey and Nene.
On paper, the Nuggets' lineup is incomparable to the Timberwolves' three-headed monster.
When Candy Man and Nene Oh stood in the center circle and prepared to compete for the ball, Garnett, who couldn't stop talking, seriously warned Ryan again:
"Today, you can't even see where the frame is!"
The referee throws the ball into the air and the game officially begins!
The Sugarman relied on his height and wingspan advantage to win the ball, and the Timberwolves took the lead in attacking.
Because Ryan has a strong defensive ability, he was sent to defend Sprewell today.
Seeing this situation, Sprewell got excited and actively passed Garnett's off-ball screen to the right side of the three-point line, received Cassel's pass, and prepared to take action.
Although it is only the first season of cooperation, the Madman is very satisfied with KG's pick-and-roll quality.
This has been reflected in training.
So as soon as the madman received the ball, he subconsciously prepared to shoot directly, subconsciously feeling that the defense could not keep up.
Hey, send the number one scholar to defend me? Sorry, the top pick is also a rookie!
But when the confident madman received the basketball and faced the basket, he found that the Nuggets' defense did not give him the slightest chance!
James Posey was standing in front of the madman at this moment, not giving him any space.
Yes, Ryan may not be able to teleport through Garnett's pick-and-roll, but switching defenses can!
Facing the pick-and-roll between Garnett and Madman, the Nuggets directly chose to switch defense!
Without a second thought, the madman prepared to fight Percy alone. Position 2 plays position 4, the advantage is mine!
But after the madman changed his mind, he discovered that Percy was still standing in front of him!
Although James Posey plays the fourth position this season, at 2.03 meters, he actually has the mobility of a small forward!
Moreover, Posey is known for his defense, so he cannot be easily shaken off.
After that, the madman shook his crotch several times, and finally had no choice but to attack against Posey's defense!
The result is obvious. Before the game, the madman who claimed, "If you don't let me score 40 points, you'll be qualified," his first shot missed the target!
"Fuck!" The madman cursed secretly. How could he not punish this misalignment?
This guy Posey, do you have the nerve to play the fourth position?
Bzdelik waved his arms excitedly, and his unlimited defense system showed great power in the first round!
Because Posey, Nene and Ryan all have extremely strong defensive radiation ranges and are not afraid of switching in front of anyone, so Bzdelik's bold tactic is to switch defenses infinitely!
What made this guy famous in the Rockets was his ability to switch defenses infinitely.
No, because of the direct switch of defense just now, the madman didn't get any space to take action!
Ryan fought off the rebound and handed the ball to the double-handed turkey.
The turkey slowly passed the half court, staring at Ryan who suddenly cut in, but actually gave the ball to Nene, who took advantage of the sugar man to protect the frame and pocketed it to the mid-range.
After receiving the ball, the Brazilian made a solid mid-range shot from the open position, and the Nuggets took the lead 2-0!
Following the defense, the Nuggets' offensive tactics were also executed perfectly.
On the defensive end, the Nuggets focus on the three forward positions with unlimited defense changes.
On the offensive end, Budenholzer arranged a series of off-ball tactics.
Just now, Nene took advantage of his defender being restrained by Ryan's off-ball movement, and cleverly moved to the middle distance, gaining an easy scoring opportunity.
The entire Nuggets team has shooting ability. Even the center Nene has a mid-range shot and can play very sophisticated off-ball offense.
With this opening attack and defense, the Nuggets fully demonstrated the characteristics of this season!
Although the score of 2-0 is nothing, Bzdelik at least knows that the team's system has been quite mature!
What makes Nuggets fans a little unsatisfied is that Ryan has not performed yet.
In both offense and defense, Ryan was reduced to a supporting role.
But soon, Ryan's opportunity to perform came!
The Timberwolves continued to attack. When Garnett and the Madman played a pick-and-roll without the ball, Ryan and Posey once again switched defenses directly.
Cassel learned the lesson and this time he didn't give the ball to the madman, but gave it to Garnett!
Just because Madman can't beat Posey doesn't mean KG can't beat Ryan!
When changing defense, you have to accept the price of being misplaced!
Seeing KG preparing to play Ryan alone, the expectations of Nuggets fans were immediately filled.
Bzdelik on the sidelines was not worried at all, but laughed numbly.
Don't make a mistake about the Timberwolves. The biggest feature of unlimited defensive changes is not to passively find mismatches, but to have the confidence to proactively find mismatches!
Just like just now, the Madman thought he had a misplaced advantage, but in fact he had no chance of scoring at all.
The helpless lone wolf thought he had found prey.
No, in fact, he has walked into a death trap!
