Chapter 76: KG’s career night? Ryan's Miracle Night!
The war of words between Ryan and Garnett has once again attracted widespread attention because it involves the issue of skin color.
Ryan's tough response undoubtedly caused his popularity to soar in the country.
The Sharks also teased Yao Ming about his Asian identity before, but Yao Ming, who has high emotional intelligence, chose to overcome strength with softness and retaliate with kindness. In the end, O'Neal was scolded by his parents. In the end, he apologized to Yao Ming and began to respect Yao from then on.
There is nothing wrong with solving problems in this way, but sometimes Chinese fans also hope for a Chinese player with a tougher personality.
Don't always retaliate with kindness. Sometimes everyone also hopes that Chinese players can retaliate forcefully against the opponent's impolite remarks.
And Ryan simply fulfilled all the fantasies of Chinese fans!
His speech was quite tough, and the last sentence, "In Game 6 in Denver, we will make the miracle happen again," made everyone excited.
A new storm has emerged, how can we stand still!
In fact, it's not just Chinese fans.
Many North American fans are siding with Ryan at this time.
After all, Ryan's answer was passionate enough and touched the hearts of many ordinary fans.
Before the G6 battle of life and death began, the league also announced this year's first regular season award-Best Rookie.
Without a doubt, Ryan was unanimously elected!
Here’s a joke: Nike wanted James and Ryan to share the Rookie of the Year award.
This unanimous election was without any controversy, and even Nike was embarrassed to let the media get angry.
You, James, have already gone fishing in the river, and Ryan is almost black, so Nike naturally has no shame to mention this matter.
Although Ryan won the Rookie of the Year, Nike's stock price plummeted again.
But there is no way, they can only hope for the future now. This season, James is completely defeated!
Stern personally attended the press conference to present the award to Ryan and said meaningfully:
"In the NBA, we only recognize hard power. Congratulations, Ryan! You are number one, and you deserve to be number one!"
Seeing Ryan win the Rookie of the Year trophy, Chinese fans were also elated.
Yao Ming's anger at losing the Rookie of the Year award to Stoudemire last year finally came out this year.
After winning the Rookie of the Year award, Ryan has only one goal left this year.
That is the Black Eight Miracle!
Ryan knows very well that in his long career, the weight of the Rookie of the Year award is not important.
Right now, defeating Garnett makes Ryan even more excited!
That night, the atmosphere inside the Pepsi Center was extremely warm.
All Denver fans are waiting to see Ryan's "miracle again"!
In 1994, the image of Mutombo lying on the ground holding a basketball and screaming in the sky after completing a black eight is still vivid in the minds of most Nuggets fans.
But if you think about it carefully, 1994 was not three years ago, but a full ten years ago!
Will the miracle of ten years ago really happen again?
Stern was also at the game today because he was presenting the award to Ryan.
In addition, Theron and many entertainment stars also arrived at the Pepsi Center.
For the first time, the Pepsi Center actually had a bit of a Staples feel.
For the first time, the Denver Nuggets have become the focus of the world!
There are both the breaking point of the Black Eight Miracle and the ultimate showdown between Ryan and Garnett.
Can that not be the focus?
Ryan was stern when he came on the court to warm up today, while Garnett was frowning.
Both men were ready to make a desperate move.
Bzdelik is quite nervous, because tonight, he is very likely to create a miracle!
There have only been two black eights in the history of the NBA. After the first round of the playoffs was changed to a best-of-seven game system, there was no precedent for such a black eight.
How could Bzdelik have imagined that he, a coach who was still competing for the No. 1 pick last season, would now be faced with a Black Eight Miracle!
Yesterday I was still struggling with food and clothing, but today I am in Wenbao!
At this moment when history could be created, even he, the head coach, was nervous, let alone the players on the field.
In fact, Ryan was a little nervous before taking the field.
To be honest, this Timberwolves are still very strong, and the Nuggets also lost to them twice before.
But as soon as he came on the field, hearing the cheers of the fans and seeing his teammates nodding at him, Ryan immediately felt less nervous.
Instead there is only excitement!
The same goes for Garnett. He certainly knows what it means to fall in the first round as the No. 1 player in the Western Conference.
Although he has been eliminated in the first round for seven consecutive seasons, if he is eliminated in the first round this time as the number one player in the Western Conference, he will become the laughing stock of the world!
He was quite nervous at first, but after he came on the court, Garnett seemed to smell a faint smell of blood.
This turned him from nervous to excited!
After the game started, these two guys, who were extremely excited in the battle of life and death, started to put on a gorgeous performance!
"Kevin Garnett! He dunked Nene in the face! God, you always say he's not tough enough, but today he was attacking the basket like a terrifying beast!
Nene's defense was completely out of position. From breakthrough to takeoff, he stayed in front of Garnett. But just now, Garnett dunked Nene from the front without saving face! "
At the scene, Mike Brin was extremely excited. Garnett's frontal dunk just now was astonishing. There was no misalignment. It was a head-on dunk!
From this goal, it is not difficult to see Garnett's mentality today. He is determined to win the game and defend his dignity.
But, how could Ryan give up?
A minute later, Mike Breen shouted again.
Only this time, he was shouting for Ryan!
This time the Nuggets attacked, Ryan cut along the baseline, received the pass from the double-handed turkey, and then put his hands together with the ball and jumped directly to attack the frame.
But Garnett rushed to the penalty area with his long limbs and stretched out his hand to give Ryan a nailboard hat.
Garnett's palm looked like he was about to touch the basketball, but Ryan, who was in the air, was able to use his waist and abdominal strength to overcome the upward force and pull the ball back to his chest with both hands, avoiding Garnett's block. , and then stretched out again in an extremely small space, dunking with both hands!
This two-handed slam dunk, which was like the essence of a human movie, once again tortured Mike Breen's throat.
However, these two scenes at the beginning of the first quarter are only a microcosm of this game.
After that, Garnett and Ryan's magical performances continued one after another.
In the second quarter, under Posey's defense, Garnett rarely chose to turn over and shoot a jumper, but instead turned around and walked to the basket.
In the three-man team of Nene, Posey and Ryan, Garnett turned his back to the basket and threw the ball up. The basketball hit the top edge of the basket and finally refracted into the net!
Although there was a certain amount of luck in this goal, it can be seen that Garnett really hardened up today. Before that kind of ball, he would most likely turn over and shoot a jump shot.
But this time, he chose to meet the man!
Where's Ryan? Nor did he give up the opportunity to perform.
At the end of the third quarter, a wave of four mid-range hits directly allowed the Nuggets to lead by 6 points and enter the fourth quarter!
The two of them are tit for tat, you sing and I come on stage.
However, in the fourth quarter, as an MVP candidate, Garnett's performance was even brighter.
In order to defend his dignity and win this crucial game, he showed his versatility to the fullest!
He barely allowed the Nuggets to grab any offensive rebounds in the backcourt. He was like a rebound-devouring monster, taking away all the rebounds.
He even blocked Posey's shots twice in a row at the basket, fully demonstrating his continuous jumping ability.
Steal Ryan's pass to Posey in the passing lane to disrupt the offense.
He even gave Cassell a back pass assist without looking at anyone!
Versatility, this is actually Garnett's label all along.
Throughout the fourth quarter, Garnett's data accumulated crazily.
In the words of Mike Brin: "This guy just took a pen and filled in his own data sheet wantonly!"
Although Ryan's performance was very online in the fourth quarter, he shouldered the team's scoring burden.
But Garnett's performance today was indeed too exaggerated, and his halo once overwhelmed Ryan.
And his halo completely overshadowed Ryan's, still in the last 31 seconds.
When the game went to the last 31 seconds, Ryan's catch-and-shoot shot was missed by Garnett with his arm length advantage!
This risk caused the Nuggets to miss the opportunity to expand the score at a critical moment.
And Garnett
"30 points, 21 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 5 blocks! This is a playoff performance that will go down in history!
Kevin Garnett, he doesn't believe that the long night is coming, because the torch is in his hand!
He will not accept the fate of being kicked out. Today, he gave everyone a truly superstar-level performance! "
After blocking Ryan's key ball and getting the rebound, the Timberwolves immediately timed out.
At this time, Garnett hit his head with the ball with a "bang" sound, and a small bump immediately formed on his head.
After all, Harden hit the ball on the floor and accidentally bounced it to himself. The Wolf King was better off, and he just hit the ball over his head, refusing to let the middleman make the difference.
Cassel was shocked, what kind of celebrations were these! ?
So even though I look weird, I am actually the most normal person in this team!
Can Garnett not be excited? At the critical moment, the one he blocked was Ryan, the rookie who kept him awake at night!
Ryan's previous nonsense and the huge score between the two sides now make Garnett lose face.
So this risk made Garnett proud!
On the other side, Ryan cursed secretly. Garnett's defensive range is really terrifying. If someone else defended the ball like that just now, Ryan would have scored nine times out of ten.
But Garnett, he can block shots from long range!
What a pervert!
Ryan's performance today was not bad either, with 28 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.
Although the assists were a little less today because the passing route was blocked. But this kind of performance cannot be said to be outstanding.
But compared with Garnett's performance that directly filled up the stat sheet, it does seem a bit ordinary.
And if in the end Garnett kills the game because of this key block, there is no doubt that all his previous humiliations will be wiped away.
Instead, it will be a night of career legend!
The Timberwolves paused and arranged their final attack.
Ryan was still focused after coming off the court and was not downcast because he had just been blocked.
Bzdelik was so nervous that his hands were shaking when drawing tactics. The Nuggets had only 28 seconds left to create a miracle.
But after 28 seconds, all honors may disappear in an instant!
It feels like you are hanging on a speeding light wheel to draw tactics. How can your hands not shake?
The fans' breathing was extremely rapid at this time. Garnett really performed too well today.
Even if the Timberwolves win, they still have Game 7 to play.
But what happened to Maizi last season is right in front of us. This kind of game must end as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.
Amid people's tension and worries, the game starts again!
The Timberwolves are actually under greater pressure than the Nuggets at this time. After all, if this attack fails, the Timberwolves will become the backdrop for the Black Eight Miracle!
Cassel took a few deep breaths, and he was the final point of the next attack!
The alien was a little nervous at first, but when he came on stage, he immediately became panicked.
Because he saw that the Nuggets actually put Ryan directly in front of him!
Although Ryan is only a rookie, his defense is already good enough to make everyone sigh when they see him!
Seeing Phillip Saunders' expression that was more uncomfortable than eating a fly, Bzdelik knew that he had guessed right!
He knew that the Timberwolves would definitely choose Cassel instead of the Wolf King at the critical moment!
Let Ryan directly defend the aliens, which undoubtedly cuts off the last straw for the Timberwolves!
Bzdelik was very proud, who said I could only pretend to beep? They said I have some defense skills!
At the beginning of the game, Cassel began to get rid of the defense according to the tactical arrangement.
But Ryan's defense is too tight, and his 95 speed makes him not suffer much in front of the point guard Cassel.
The defensive range brought by Ryan's excellent height and wingspan also doubled Cassel's pressure.
The alien ran several times but failed to get out of the space to catch the basketball.
He finally caught the ball, but was directly pressed by Ryan, unable to attack calmly.
Ryan currently has low steal data because of his poor steal ability. But this also has the advantage that when defending, Ryan will not steal the ball blindly and cause loss of position.
Ryan's solid defense and sharply reduced time made the alien so nervous that he felt like vomiting!
Lennima comes with its own vomiting buff, right?
The Timberwolves' attack time passed quickly, but Ryan's defense did not relax at all.
In this desperate moment, Cassel could only choose to hand the ball to Garnett who moved to the mid-range position on the left!
The tactics are out of the question, and the Timberwolves can only look up to their king now!
The moment Garnett caught the ball, Posey and Ryan immediately pounced on him.
Ryan is not afraid of leaving Cassel open at all, because the attack time is no longer enough for Garnett to pass the ball.
He can only choose to shoot by himself!
Garnett didn't hesitate, didn't throw it again, oh no, didn't pass it to his teammates again.
Even though he was facing Ryan and Posey, he still calmly leaned back and lifted the ball with his fingertips.
Although Garnett felt very good today, the interference from Ryan and Posey was also very severe. Seeing this scene, all Timberwolves fans covered their heads with their hands.
It's over, it's completely gone now.
However.
"Beep!"
"brush!"
This scene changed the atmosphere of the scene 180°!
The Nuggets fans who were cheering just now were suddenly stunned. Garnett turned over and hit a jumper at the buzzer despite the interference of two people! Led the Timberwolves to overtake by 1 point in the last 4 seconds!
This is a quasi-kill! It's a real big jumper!
Garnett raised his arms and shouted ferociously at Ryan:
"Who said there's no tiebreaker? I'm going to skin you at the Target Center next! Without Ryan, there will be no miracles!"
In the CCTV studio, Director Zhang and Director Sun were also silent for a while.
In the end, Director Zhang could only say in a low voice: "This Wolf King is really powerful."
In North America, Mike Breen was also conquered by Garnett's unique performance:
"With 32 points, 21 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 5 blocks, Kevin Garnett played his career masterpiece!
The Miracle was so close to the Denver Nuggets, but now so far away.
In the last 4 seconds, the Nuggets had no chance.
But Kevin, a defensive monster whose head will appear in every corner of the half, will not be bypassed so easily! "
After the hearts of Nuggets fans were about to jump out of their throats, in the last 4 seconds, 1 point difference, a black eight miracle
When all of these factors come together, even fans watching the game have sweaty palms.
Theron, who was sitting in the front row, took out his hand and saw, damn, why is it wet again?
Every time I'm with Ryan, whether I'm watching football or doing anything else, I always feel wet!
The pause ends quickly and the camera closes up on Ryan.
He is undoubtedly the last shot the Nuggets can make.
A piece of data is immediately displayed below the TV:
"Number of buzzer-beaters in Ryan's career so far: 0."
This data reminds the world that Ryan is just a rookie!
Facing an MVP candidate who had a career night, should we really have such high expectations for a rookie?
Garnett bared his teeth, as if he couldn't wait to bite Ryan's neck.
Nene stood on the sideline, ready to serve.
Ryan moved his legs, and then pointed at Garnett.
Although he didn't speak, this action seemed to be telling KG: "Get ready, I'm coming!"
The referee blows the whistle, gives the ball to Nene, and the game begins!
Ryan burst into acceleration at the moment the whistle blew and got rid of the madman's guard.
The physical strength of 92 allowed Ryan's speed of 95 to not diminish too much at the end of the game.
The Timberwolves are leaning toward Ryan as a whole, but
In the end, it was not Ryan who caught the ball, but Andre Miller!
Ryan did not catch the ball, but continued to go around the screen, ran one step inside the three-point line on the right, received Miller's pass, and was ready to shoot!
But at this moment, the entire Pepsi Center fans covered their eyes.
The beast with the data of 32+21+2+4+5, just like the previous round, was once again approaching Ryan!
It seems that once Ryan takes a shot, it is very likely that Garnett will block it again!
Pass to Posey? Sorry, the Timberwolves have already used Szczerbiak to rush to Posey, and Ryan has no passing route at all.
If Ryan wants to pass, he can only find a way to let the ball pass through Garnett, Szczerbiak and Sugarman, and pass it across the half court to Leonard on the other side!
Even if Ryan suddenly has Magic-level passing ability and sends the ball over, then Leonard probably won't have time to shoot!
In general
The Nuggets' tactics are locked!
In the last round, the Nuggets also locked down the Timberwolves' key tactics. But Garnett stood up and settled the game with the most ferocious jumper of his career.
This time, Ryan has to step up and do the same. He had no choice but to shoot.
Ryan raised the basketball, and Garnett had already raised his arms and spread his fingers, ready to block all criticism and regain his dignity!
But the next second.
Ryan took back the basketball and moved forward to the left. At this time, Nene, who was serving the sideline ball, had already rushed to Ryan's side and made a screen!
Garnett didn't expect that with 2 seconds left in the game, the Nuggets would actually run a pick-and-roll!
Shooting after the pick-and-roll is a tactic that the Nuggets have not used before.
But Bzdelik knows very well that Ryan has been practicing this skill from the beginning of training camp to now!
Now, all the hard work has come to reap the rewards.
"Ryan, after hanging up the screen, there was not much time. He took a quick shot! Garnett failed to get around the sudden screen, and the basketball flew towards the basket."
Having said this, Mike Breen stood up, and the dazzling red light from the backboard already reflected in his eyes.
Then, he saw the orange-red basketball spinning slowly and finally drilling into the net accurately!
The moment the basketball hits the net, everything returns to normal speed.
Cheers burst out instantly. On the field, Ryan just stood there with his arms raised high. The next second, he was completely overwhelmed by his teammates who rushed up! This is his heroic moment!
Immediately afterwards, Mike Brin also felt a huge force spurting out of his body, making him couldn't help but start shouting!
"The third black eight miracle in NBA history! Ryan successfully challenged his own destiny on Garnett's career night!
He kept his word and finished first in the Western Conference in Game 6!
The Denver miners from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains have been tempered by wind and frost. They are never afraid of powerful enemies and will only become braver as they fight!
The Timberwolves are strong enough today, but in the face of difficulties, the miners' foreman will make himself even stronger!
Great rookie Ryan, played a great series!
The super rookie had the last laugh in the showdown with the MVP candidate!
Believe me, Ryan's era has come! "
