Chapter 59: Torturing each other? Kidd reserves
The Nuggets still have four games to play before taking advantage of Kidd.
The last two of these four games further sublimated the theme of "Wild West".
On November 25th and 28th, the Nuggets faced the Texas Spurs and Mavericks respectively.
As a result, they suffered two consecutive defeats.
The Spurs and Mavericks are currently inferior to the Lakers and Timberwolves in terms of record.
The Nuggets were able to beat the higher-ranked Lakers and Timberwolves, but they overturned against the top two teams in Texas. This is the Wild West, and rankings don’t explain the problem at all.
Because in fact everyone is very strong and each has its own characteristics.
In the game against the Spurs, Duncan scored 30 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists in the Nuggets interior.
The difference between the idiot and the shark is that he is not afraid of the Nuggets' double attack at all, because he can attack from the high post and can also give him strong support from the outside to punish the Nuggets' double attack.
And the Spurs also have Horry, the GOAT in the role player class, at the fourth position.
Horry was with the Lakers last season, and his three-point shooting percentage dropped to 28.8% in the regular season. In the playoffs, he went 0-for-18 from three-point range in the series against the Spurs.
The Lakers felt that Horry had run out of gas, so they did not renew his contract.
As a result, Horry was alive again after being transferred to the Spurs!
This season his three-point shooting percentage has increased back to 38%, and his condition in all aspects has been maintained very well.
The Lakers were miserably played by Horry!
It seems that being close to Hollywood can indeed improve your acting skills.
The Lakers are all convinced. At home, you dodge and don't turn in your homework, but after you go out, you work hard!
Horry's touch was very smooth in this game. Facing the Nuggets' attack, Horry showed no weakness in his jump shot after receiving a pass from Duncan, and scored 14 points like a flashback.
Afterwards, the Nuggets began to hesitate in their attack, so Duncan seized the opportunity to attack the inside, and finally produced these all-around statistics of 30+12+7.
Moreover, the Spurs are a top-notch defensive team.
Today, apart from Ryan's 20 points, the Nuggets' highest score was the double-handed turkey's 11 points.
However, Miller's 11 points are not very valuable because he shot only 36.4% from the field.
Everyone else's score was not in double figures.
It would be a miracle if the Nuggets could win.
After playing against the Mavericks, the Nuggets' offensive efficiency improved. Ryan scored 22 points, Miller 20 points, Leonard and Posey each scored 16 points.
But...the Mavericks' offense is stronger!
The Mavericks during this period were an offensive team. Cuban also assembled Nowitzki, Nash, Fathead Walker and Finley in this team.
Although this lineup is not as scary as Lillard + Antetokounmpo, the offensive firepower is indeed strong enough.
Every starter on the team can score when they step up.
Facing this kind of team, the Nuggets chose to continue to implement an unlimited switching defense strategy, allowing the Mavericks to go 1V1.
As a result, Nowitzki and Finley were particularly successful today, scoring 33 points and 21 points respectively.
Nash also scored 18 points.
Although Ryan contained Walker's prodigal king, he only allowed him to score one point.
But the Mavericks' overall offense is still efficient.
The Nuggets scored 101 points in this game, which is a lot in this most defensive era.
But the Mavericks were stunned and scored 112 points!
In this way, the two teams of Texas relied on their completely different strengths to allow the Nuggets to lose two consecutive games.
This is the Wild West, and there are no easy teams, including the Nuggets!
However, after these two consecutive losses, the Nuggets still have a record of 9 wins and 6 losses. After all, before their two consecutive losses, the Nuggets also won the Bucks and Grizzlies respectively.
Ryan's personal performance after winning the best of the week did not stretch his hips, scoring 20 points in four games.
Therefore, these two consecutive losses have not affected Ryan's status in the hearts of the fans at all.
The whole world is still talking about Ryan:
"How did he go from freshman year to the NBA and score 20 points a game without blinking an eye?"
“Larry Lance takes off well with one foot, Orlando Ulrich takes off well with both feet, and Jordan can break through the sky with either one foot or both feet.
But Ryan? Man, he might have a pair of invisible wings directly behind his back! "
"Ryan is like a benign disease that has completely infected the entire Nuggets team."
In order to increase Ryan's popularity, the media even changed Anthony's news to this: "Pippen when Ryan was in high school scored 22 points tonight."
Angua:.
In the winter of 2003, Ryan had already become a rookie myth in people's minds.
Local kids in Denver believe that Lane is more powerful than Superman, Spider-Man, and Batman combined.
Although there are people like Kobe who jump out to sing the opposite: "Ryan is so popular because he has never encountered an opponent as important as me. Next time we meet, I will end him."
But most fans still believe that Ryan is already a rising star, and they all believe that Ryan will soon lead the team out of the haze of two consecutive losses.
Even if the Nuggets' opponent in the next game is the New Jersey Nets, who have reached the finals for two consecutive seasons!
On the evening of the 29th, Ryan and the team arrived in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
In the hotel room, the best loser in Denver was very anxious: "Damn it, I didn't even bring a handsome suit! It's over!"
Ryan looked disdainful: "Theron invited me to dinner, not you. You are wearing a fur suit."
Because New Jersey is very close to New York, Theron has decided to come to watch Ryan's game and treat Ryan to a meal after the game as a courtesy.
After hearing the news, Denver's No. 1 loser acted as if he was getting married.
“Although she didn’t ask me out this time, I still have to leave a good impression on her!
Ryan, what kind of hair oil do you usually use?
I have to dress up! "
On the other side, Theron's bestie, Nicole Kidman, who became famous for her role in "Top Gun", watched Theron picking out clothes in the cloakroom and smiled mischievously:
"I didn't expect you to like little wolfdogs. Old cows eat tender grass. You really have to bite your tongue!"
"Ah? What are you talking about!?
Simply because New Jersey is very close to New York, so I stopped by to check it out. As you know, I quite like watching basketball games recently. "
"Come on, since we're just watching basketball, why do we invite people to dinner?"
"Isn't it just a show of friendship to have a dinner date? After all, we will also be work partners from now on."
"Then take me with you. I won't disturb the two of you on your date. Let's talk about work, right?"
"Take it with you! As I said, Ryan and I are working partners!"
Kidman feels that Theron can’t even lie, while Skotishvili feels that Ryan doesn’t even know how to be happy.
"Are you actually watching Kidd's game video?"
"What if? Watch your game videos?"
"No. You are going on a date with the goddess tomorrow! Shouldn't you buy a suit!? Watch a video of the Hammers game!"
"Go away! It's hard for you to hit 40% of your field goal percentage. It's not for no reason!
You are completely defeated by desire! "
Ryan ignored Skotishvili and continued to study the game video, wondering how to complete the next "key matchup".
This kind of task, which is to directly gain attributes by winning the game, must be completed as much as possible!
Because this is a bonus mission, it is limited to this season only. I don't know whether this good thing will happen to me again in the future.
This is truly something you can’t miss if you’re passing by!
Although Kidd can't score, he has a lot of rebounds and assists.
During the Nets period, Kidd's average rebounds per game were always in the 6-8 range.
A few days ago, he even had weird statistics like 13 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists.
Therefore, it is not easy to surpass Kidd in at least two of the scoring, rebounding and assists.
There is definitely no need to think about assists. Ryan is not the point of holding the ball. He catches the ball for the purpose of finishing. There have never been many assists.
I can only work hard on scoring and rebounding.
But it’s not easy to surpass Kidd in scoring!
Although Kidd has poor scoring ability, the Nets are the league's top defensive team!
You laugh at Kidd's low score, but in a game with the Nets, your score may not even be as good as Kidd's!
Many people think that the Nets can reach the finals because the Eastern Conference is too weak.
But no matter how weak you are, you still have to have special skills to reach the finals.
The Nets' unique skill is defense.
Moreover, the Nets are really not weak this season. In the 2004 playoffs in original history, the Nets and the eventual champion Pistons fought fiercely to the tiebreaker.
You know, the Lakers in the finals could only win one victory over the Pistons!
Among them, in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the two sides played three overtimes. If Billups hadn't hit a tying three-pointer near the midfield line at the end of regular time, the outcome of the entire series might have changed.
And Billups, who saved the team and eventually won the FMVP, was actually defended in that round and only scored 15 points with a 35.2% shooting rate.
This shows how difficult the Nets' defense is.
This Nets cannot be underestimated!
Ryan's scoring tomorrow will definitely not be as easy as beating the old, weak, sick and disabled Lakers. What the Nets are best at is torturing their opponents!
Ryan touched his chin. It seemed that there was only one way to complete the task for this team and win the game.
That is to lower Kidd's data even lower!
The lower the better!
The Nets are best at torturing their opponents, but it’s not certain who will make whom cry tomorrow!
Kidd, who was sleeping soundly at home at this time, didn't know yet.
He is about to play another game with "god-level" statistics!
