Chapter 90: Ryan’s Law of Limitation? James is 10 times more defensive than Ryan!
Ryan led the team to the best start in team history.
During the offseason, those media who thought the Nuggets' reinforcements were insignificant have already begun to feel pain in their faces.
And Ryan is also looking forward to the Christmas mission.
The talent fragments of James' star teammates are too wide.
The feeling of opening a blind box among so many top-notch products always excites men
But before that, the Nuggets have to surpass the Cavaliers in the same period in terms of record.
Equally excited are Cavaliers fans, and there’s no better gift than watching James beat Ryan.
This time, Cavaliers fans are no longer confident.
Because when Larry Hughes is not affected by injuries, the Cavaliers do have some strength.
Although the offense is not top-notch, the defense is definitely outstanding.
What's more, after starting with an 11-game winning streak, the Nuggets finally started losing this season.
This allowed the Cavaliers to see a way to defeat the Nuggets.
At the end of November, the Nuggets lost two games.
On the 23rd, against the Pistons, the dominant player in the Eastern Conference during this period, the Nuggets lost by 12 points.
The first loss of the new season was by double digits.
The Pistons' approach to dealing with the Nuggets is not complicated either. First, they don't expand their defense too much, give the Nuggets three-point opportunities, focus on defending in the mid-range, and then actively shrink to prevent Ryan and AK47 from easily cutting in to score points.
Attract the defense and then score the ball? It's useless. Double Wallace's super defensive ability can simultaneously contain the Nuggets' inside cuts and the two inside mid-range shots of Webber and Nene.
Whenever Ryan or Kirilenko passes the ball, both Wallaces can immediately return to their opponents and interfere in time.
So in this game, Ryan didn't get a very good scoring opportunity throughout the game.
In the mid-range, Prince and Hamilton take turns to deal with Ryan, so that Ryan will not easily get open opportunities. Although it won't lock Ryan down, it won't let Ryan shoot an exaggerated shooting percentage of 60 or 70.
When cutting inside, you have to face the copper wall and iron wall made by Double Wallace.
The Pistons know that Ryan's violent finishing ability is among the best in the league, but his finishing ability for layups when facing defenses is relatively average. Layup work has never been Ryan's strong point.
So as long as you fill the penalty area, you won't be afraid of Ryan attacking the frame!
After all, no matter how athletic Ryan is, he can't dunk his opponents again and again, right?
Today, under Ben's quick return to defense, Weber's shooting percentage was extremely low, making 1 of 9 shots from the field.
Facing the fast defense of Big Ben's beast, Weber, who had extremely poor psychological quality, felt that he was about to be risked every time he raised the ball, so he took action extremely hastily.
The end result is that the mid-range is completely ruined.
Bird finally let AK and Ryan cut outside the three-point line to try three-pointers, but the effect was not good.
AK's three-point shooting is inherently inconsistent. For such a weapon with large recoil, you cannot require it to be very accurate.
As its name suggests, the AK47 is a good gun, but it cannot be used as a mortar.
Although Ryan has "opportunist" talent fragments, he can improve the stability of open shots.
However, the basic attributes of 72 three-pointers are still a bit low, and there is no guarantee that Ryan will be accurate every time.
Ryan took a career-high five three-pointers today, but only hit one.
In this way, the invincible Nuggets lost to the first place in the Eastern Conference last season, and their 11-game winning streak was ended.
Just five days later, the Nuggets lost their second game.
This time they lost to the Heat.
The Heat and Pistons have almost the same strategy. They use the lightning-fast Wade to limit Ryan's mid-range and release three-pointers, and then Shark and Haslem actively shrink inside.
But the strategy is a little different. Of course, Shark doesn't have Ben's mobility. He can't protect the basket and interfere with Webber's mid-range at the same time.
Therefore, Riley's approach is to directly let Webber shoot!
On the offensive end, the Sharks used low post play to wear down Webber and wear away Webber's touch.
The Heat believe that Weber's offense can't kill anyone!
Weber also seized the opportunity and scored 18 points. But just as Larry predicted, Weber's offense failed to extinguish the Heat.
Because the Heat are not only defensive, they also have offensive strengths that the Pistons do not have!
Wade scored 28 points today and was extremely efficient.
In the No Handcheck era, Wade's speed was difficult to limit even Ryan, who had fast lateral movement and long arms!
Not to mention Ryan, in this history Wade has broken through the Pistons, whose defense is invincible. Because Wade is not only fast, he is also very capable of finishing after breaking in. After entering, he can score the ball even if he is knocked around.
Moreover, during this period, Wade's mid-range skills have been greatly improved.
This was the period when Wade was most accurate in mid-range shooting. Later, due to a shoulder injury, he was forced to change his shooting posture, so his shooting was not so good.
In fact, the Heat almost overturned the Pistons and entered the Finals last season. They once led 3-2 in the playoffs and got the match point.
It's just that Wade was injured later. Without Wade, the Heat were directly beaten by the Pistons 91 to 66.
This shows how strong Wade was during this period.
If he hadn't been poisoned by brothers basketball, his status should have been higher.
In fact, it's not Wade's fault, because he never thought, even after all calculations, that "not one, not two" would eventually become an understatement of "I won't leave if I win three consecutive championships."
Wade still doesn't understand people's hearts. Didn't he click the beep count when his condition declined and he was useless? When a woman becomes old and loses her luster, she cannot keep a man, let alone a brother.
There are always younger women out there, there are always younger teammates. Ajan, he just made a choice that all men would make!
Although Ryan shot pretty well from three-point range today, 3 of 5.
But three three-pointers alone were not enough to save the team.
So 92 to 98, the Nuggets lost to the Heat and lost their second game of the season.
For a time, the entire league became excited.
Because the Heat and Pistons defeated the Nuggets in almost the same way!
Many media announced: "The Pistons and Heat have found a way to contain the Nuggets and Ryan!"
The method can be roughly summarized as: "The top single defender limits Ryan's mid-range, directly shrinks the inside line to prevent Ryan from attacking the frame, and allows Ryan to shoot three-pointers."
For a time, the term "Ryan's Law of Restriction" became popular in the league.
Countless Gramps fans cheered for joy. After the Cavaliers changed their head coach to Mike Brown this season, they became one of the top ten defensive teams in the league, fully complying with the requirements of the "Ryan Limitation Law".
According to this method, maybe we can beat the Nuggets!
Before the Cavaliers and Nuggets started playing, on December 2, the Nuggets' first game after losing to the Heat, another Eastern Conference team, the New Jersey Nets, couldn't wait to follow suit, hoping to use this rule to hold down Ryan.
Before the game, Nets coach Lawrence Frank also told reporters in a high-profile manner:
"We've completely debunked Big Bird's trick, and just like magic, once it's debunked, there are no surprises."
As a result, the Nets did not play smoothly in this game.
Nets center Jason Collison has neither the defensive area of Ben nor the low post deterrence of O'Neal.
As a result, Weber lived up to expectations and scored a season-high 29 points extremely efficiently!
Moreover, the Nets also can't find anyone who can limit Ryan in the mid-range. Whether it was Carter, Jefferson or Kidd, they were all eluded by Ryan.
Ryan often only needs to pass two screens to definitely get a shot.
Well, if the defense can't prevent it, you can still make up for it by relying on offense like the Heat.
But the Nets' offense is not good either. Carter is not Wade. Although UF0 is versatile, it does not have lightning speed after all.
Ryan faced off against Carter, causing the demigod to fall off the altar.
He limited Carter to 17 points on 37% shooting.
So, Ryan angrily scored 38 points and 6 assists today, leading the team to their first victory since December, 98-89.
After the game, Ryan said harshly: "Magic is fake, but our strength is real! Damn Ryan's restriction law. If any of you really believe in this ghost thing, you can all try it." !”
This victory undoubtedly broke the saying that "the Nuggets will no longer be magical".
It is undeniable that the tactics of the Heat and Pistons are indeed correct.
But tactics are just a methodology and are not applicable to all teams.
Sloan's UCLA pick-and-roll is famous in the league, but not all teams can imitate it.
Princeton said that Potian is looking for open teammates, and maybe the King is the best player.
We all know that if you want to live a harmonious life, you must be able to find the other person's G-spot, but your own shortcomings are too short, and even knowing the method will not work.
The Pistons are successful because they have the strongest defensive execution efficiency in the league.
The Heat were able to succeed because while they defended, they also had Wade, a knife-like breakthrough genius. The combination of offense and defense is the Heat's biggest trump card.
What about the Nets? Attack, Carter's sharp knife was directly destroyed by Ryan.
Defend? Are they comparing their head to a piston?
So even if they know the method, not everyone can contain the Nuggets.
However, Cavaliers fans are still confident!
Because they have a chain composed of James, Hughes and Snow on the outside.
On the offensive end, James' breakthrough also caused headaches for the entire league.
They believe that the Cavaliers have all the necessary conditions to defeat the Nuggets!
So before the start of the Christmas game, Kacun fans can't wait.
Mike Mainin also posted again:
"The gorgeous Nuggets will once again fall into the quagmire of physical combat in the East."
During this period, three more teams successfully contained the Nuggets.
On December 10, the Nuggets lost to the Magic - they retained McGrady and Howard in this history.
McGrady insisted that the team choose the more mature Okafor, but the team still insisted on taking Howard.
In the original history, this was one of the triggers for McGrady's departure.
But in this history, McGrady has not escaped the law of true fragrance.
Although Howard has not yet reached his peak, his defensive talents have begun to appear.
McGrady, who is not closed, still has super personal abilities and puts a lot of pressure on Ryan on the defensive end.
In addition, the rest of the Nuggets felt really average in that game, so the Magic won the game.
In the other two games, the Nuggets lost to the Mavericks, who used violence to counter violence, and then one game was an upset loss to the Wizards.
No way, even the 72-win Bulls were upset sometimes, and more than once. Of the 10 games they lost, three were to teams outside the playoff ranks.
For a time, the Cleveland media were cheering, feeling that this rule really worked.
To be honest, Bird doesn't know what they are happy about, because even after losing these three games, as of December 23, the Nuggets' record is still 22 wins and 5 losses - first in the Western Conference!
This made the entire Nuggets extremely excited. For comparison, the Spurs' record in the same period was 21 wins and 6 losses, the Suns were 19 wins and 8 losses, and the Mavericks were 20 wins and 7 losses.
The Pistons did have an astonishing 21 wins and 3 losses, but because they played 3 fewer games than the Nuggets, it cannot be said that the Pistons' record is definitely better than the Nuggets.
In short, the Nuggets' record is undoubtedly the top in the league!
On the other hand, the Cavaliers' record at this time is 18 wins and 7 losses.
They were beaten by the Nuggets in terms of record.
However, the Grameen media are obsessed with believing that the Nuggets will have a hard time in Cleveland!
In the words of "Cleveland Sports":
"The Nuggets are very strong, but facts have proven that they are not invincible. You must know that out of the 5 games the Nuggets lost, 4 were lost to Eastern Conference teams.
They seem to have a phobia of Eastern Conference teams!
Ryan's Law of Restrictions will take effect again in Cleveland! "
First, there was Mike Meinen’s “Nuggets will fall into the quagmire of fighting in the Eastern Conference”, and then there was “Cleveland Sports”’s “Fear of Eastern Conference teams”.
All Cleveland fans have confidence in the Cavaliers' tenacious defense!
James is not modest either:
"Yeah, our goal is to win. I know the Nuggets are great, but our defense is one of the best this season.
Again, who would want to face Larry and me at the same time?
No one in the entire league wants to meet us! "
Can James not be confident? He won 18 of the 25 games before the start. He had never fought such a rich battle in his life!
So what if Ryan is first in the Western Conference? He only won 4 more games than me!
In terms of strength, we are definitely on the same level!
When Ryan scored 60 points before, he once scared James.
But it turns out that the Nuggets will indeed have a hard time meeting Eastern Conference teams!
I also have decent teammates this season, so I’m really not afraid of you!
Larry Hughes is also very tough:
"Bird said he was going to find us outside the playoff ranks?
We are standing here now, on our home court.
If you have the guts, they will come to us! "
The entire knight team showed unparalleled toughness and confidence.
The method of containing Ryan will definitely work again!
The day before leaving for Cleveland, Bird said contemptuously during an interview with reporters at the airport:
"I don't care what method they find to contain Ryan, I only know that James is 10 times easier to defend than Ryan!"
Bird's words made Cleveland fans' lungs explode with anger. How could this bastard dare to be so arrogant?
Bird is not arrogant at all, because to be honest, James is to the Nuggets.
It’s so defensive!
In Cleveland, only one guy is going to put up ugly numbers and lose games.
That person is definitely not Ryan!
