Chapter 104: I may be the first best defensive player who is willing to personally defend trash like
Bird asked Ryan to face Nowitzki directly, a step that young general Johnson did not expect.
Because Nowitzki is too tall and has a high shooting point, everyone has basically used the fourth position to deal with him.
If you use the third position to defend, you will either not be able to withstand it or it is not high enough.
Moreover, although they are both jump shooters at the fourth position, Nowitzki's jump shot level is a level higher than Garnett's.
If you can't interfere with him, he can really keep going!
In the last round of the game, didn't you see that Jamison was shot badly by Nowitzki?
Therefore, Bird's behavior of actively sending mismatches is tantamount to suicide in the eyes of many fans.
Everyone admits that Ryan's help defense is enough to cover the entire half.
But Bird can't just let Ryan be misplaced in single defense just because he is the DPOY, right?
Nowitzki doesn't know why the Nuggets arranged this matchup. Ryan never defended him alone during the regular season.
But the Germans are not polite either. Now that the big bird has put DPOY on his lips, I would be a little confused if I didn't give him a hard shot.
Men, when you should be bad, you must be bad!
Nowitzki slowly held the ball to face the frame, then suddenly dropped the ball, accelerated, took one step to push away Ryan, and then directly stopped for a jumper!
Nowitzki was not able to completely get rid of Ryan's defense. His speed may be advantageous in the fourth position, but he is relatively slow in front of Ryan.
However, what Dirk relies on to defeat a third-position defender like Ryan is never speed, but unparalleled height!
As long as he can get half a body position, Nowitzki can hit the shot with his height!
This is why he dared to jump directly without completely getting rid of the defense.
Nowitzki jumped up lightly and prepared to take action with a soft touch.
Dirk is very confident in his offense this season. During the regular season, he averaged 26.6 points per game, a career high, and almost entered the 180 club.
He is an efficient and productive scorer.
But just when Dirk thought he could hit the ball steadily with height as usual, a big hand suddenly blocked the path of the basketball!
There is indeed a height gap between Ryan and Nowitzki, but relying on the bullet speed and wingspan to make up for it, Ryan can still interfere with the aiming of the German tank in time!
Under Ryan's timely interference, Nowitzki had to increase the arc of his shooting, and was even forced to change his shooting posture.
His final shot was closer to throwing the ball away. Because I had to dodge the block, I didn't even have time to press my wrist.
Needless to say, the result was that Nowitzki's first shot hit the neck of the basket and the Mavericks missed the first attack!
Young General Johnson curled his lips and didn't pay much attention.
No matter how accurate Nowitzki is, he can't always hit the target.
The hand feels relatively cold at the beginning, which is normal for being tough.
He didn't take Ryan's defense too seriously.
But Nowitzki has already begun to have lingering fears. Ryan has just given him such a big interference so easily!
It was the Nuggets' offense, and the one responsible for guarding Ryan was Josh Howard, who would almost squeeze Nowitzki out of the core position in the future.
Of course, the final instigator, General Johnson, was directly fired by Cuban.
Promoting a black man to be Dallas' top star when there are white superstars? I still don't understand the young general's military sophistication.
But there is one thing to say, Josh Howard does have strength, especially on the defensive end, and he has huge potential.
Howard was also responsible for guarding the opposing perimeter superstar in the Mavericks.
The Mavericks are not weak defensively this season, ranking 11th in the league.
Although there are no defensive-level stars, fortunately everyone has good defensive awareness.
There is also the pair of Josh Howard and Diop who are both strong inside and outside.
This time, Josh Howard used his long arms to interfere with Ryan catching the ball. At 1.98 meters, his wingspan is close to 2.20 meters. His level of abnormality is almost the same as Ryan's.
After Ryan finally reached outside the three-point line and received the basketball, he immediately called Weber to cover.
Taking advantage of the screen, Ryan immediately used his lightning first step to get rid of Josh Howard's entanglement.
Young general Johnson knows that Ryan's mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll this season is very terrifying, but he is not afraid of this move.
Because Josh Howard's wingspan allows him to easily interfere with all shots.
But Ryan didn't make an emergency stop in the mid-range. Instead, just like when he played the Pistons, he took advantage of the screen and went straight to the Mavericks penalty area!
Diop, a strong senior from Ryan, immediately rushed to the basket, and when Ryan took off to dunk, he flew up from the front of Ryan to protect the frame.
But the height that Ryan jumped up to was so terrifying that Diop simply couldn't match it!
He reached out and tried to block the shot, but in the end he was forced to dunk by Ryan! Once Ryan is allowed to charge, half the defense has failed!
Now Ryan's impact is almost close to Wade. Both of them have the perfect combination of speed and strength. Although Diop is strong and strong, he is still helpless when facing breakthrough points with both strength and speed like Ryan and Wade.
The only difference between Ryan's frame-rushing and Wade's is probably that his ability to make difficult layups is not as strong as Wade's.
But if you want to dunk hard, Ryan and Wade can't stop it!
The Mavericks' defense was easily overwhelmed!
The Mavericks' 11th-ranked defense isn't bad, but...
After all, the Nuggets have the second-best offense in the league, second only to the Suns!
After the goal, Ryan deliberately looked at Jets Terry aside:
"Who said you want to beat me up? Just come and guard against me as you said. Your friend is obviously not good at it."
Ryan, who remained silent in the face of provocation before the game started, was just waiting for this moment!
What's the point of just talking about it out of thin air?
You have to take action before you confront someone to kill someone!
Sure enough, Terry, who had been extremely arrogant just now, was speechless.
He could only grit his teeth and run forward.
In the Mavericks' second attack, Terry was ready to respond on the offensive end.
But the one responsible for defending Terry is the AK47!
Bird started James Posey today just to accumulate four players who can follow and defend the perimeter.
In this way, even if Ryan is deployed to defend Nowitzki, it will not create new vacancies. The AK47 can be used to deal with Terry, while Josh Howard is handed over to Posey.
They all happened to match up.
How many people can your Mavericks play in singles? Sorry, there are many people here who can defend alone!
Bird wants to see whether you are better in isolation or I am better in isolation defense!
Terry's speed naturally overwhelmed Kirilenko, but Kirilenko's defensive range was too large.
It may only take one step to break through other people's Terry, but it takes two steps to break through Kirilenko.
Terry accelerated to the left and passed Kirilenko's body, but his eyes were still covered by Kirilenko's long arms.
Terry had no choice but to pass the ball to Josh Howard.
The Mavericks have a very strong offense this season, but unlike the Suns, the Mavericks do not pursue fast pace, but success rate.
In positional battles, they like to use a lot of conduction to create space and score with high certainty.
Because the Mavericks have a lot of isolation players, whoever catches the ball is an offensive threat.
People joke that the Mavericks have five sets of offensive tactics: Driver singles, Josh singles, Terry singles, Harris singles, and Stackhouse singles.
So what often happens with the Mavericks is that if one person can't hit, he will immediately pass the ball to another person.
Under normal circumstances, there is always a single point that can take advantage of the matchup. After all, no matter how strong a team is, it is impossible for all five positions to have strong individual defense capabilities.
But this time, the Mavericks' simple and crude method didn't work, because facing James Posey, it was not easy for Josh Howard to score easily!
The Mavericks didn't have any advantage in single points today!
The Nuggets' starting lineup is really above the level of individual defense in all five positions!
After Howard tried two breakthrough attempts without success, he passed the ball to Harris, the son of superstar Ryan.
After Harris caught the basketball, everyone was dumbfounded, no? Why are you leaving so many singles players here to see what I am doing! ?
Where is your face! ?
Didn’t everyone like Liu Bip before? He said he wanted to beat up Ryan, and he said he wanted to beat DPOY to pieces.
Oh, everyone will play like this once the official competition comes, right?
Although Harris was fast during this period, his finishing ability and shooting ability were average. Even if he can break through the double-handed turkey, it will be difficult for him to break through the Nuggets' defense.
At this time, it was Dirk, the leader, who stepped forward to save Harris.
This time he sat in the low post, leaned against Ryan, and then raised his hand for the ball!
Nowitzki wants to try singles in the low post again!
Dirk thought, if he can't hit Ryan in front of the frame, he should be able to absorb this mismatch by playing in the low post!
Harris immediately handed the ball to Dirk, and Nowitzki caught the basketball and pushed forward.
According to Nowitzki's expectations, he should be able to push a few steps in.
He has been gaining weight and adding muscle over the years, just so that his strength will not suffer so much when fighting in the fourth position.
Although he is still not a powerful fourth position, he should be able to forcefully take advantage of the mismatch, right?
As a result, Nowitzki pushed back for a long time, but barely moved in place!
Damn it, Ryan has always been a heavy three position. It's just that he's so fast that people often overlook this.
Nowitzki's power can't take advantage of him at all. At this moment, Nowitzki really wants to shout:
"Brothers, what are you still doing? Help me push from behind!"
Nowitzki didn't expect that he couldn't even eat the wrong position!
He had no choice but to turn over and shoot a jump shot without advancing at all and the bottom plate was stuck.
Dirk's back-up attacks during this period are not completely absent, but they are far less unsolvable than they will be in the future.
Before the golden rooster's independent retreat step was developed, Nowitzki's back attack was only average.
He turned around forcefully and jumped straight up, without any subsequent kicks or backsteps.
So Ryan jumped hard next to Dirk, and once again relied on his wingspan and bullet speed to directly block his turnaround jump shot!
For the second consecutive time, Mavericks core Nowitzki missed under DPOY's defense!
Only then did young general Johnson realize that something was wrong. Larry Bird had developed a new idea for the entire league to defend Nowitzki!
When a small forward is not inferior to Nowitzki in terms of confrontation and speed, and can also use his wingspan and jumping to make up for the height gap, then he is the best candidate to defend Nowitzki!
Terry was dumbfounded. He had never seen anyone guard Nowitzki so awkwardly.
If the first shot is missed, it can be lucky to think that it is a problem with Nowitzki's touch.
Nowitzki couldn't attack and was blocked in this attack, which is enough to show that Nowitzki was really struggling!
Dirk is really completely restricted!
The most terrifying fourth-position scorer in the regular season struggled extremely hard in front of DPOY!
Before the game, Terry originally thought that Ryan would get lost in the process of helping to defend Dirk, allowing Josh Howard to take the opportunity to score high points.
Or he stares at Josh Howard and watches Dirk score high points.
But Ryan’s solution today is: “None of you can take this point!”
"Ryan deserves to be the best defensive player! He was able to limit Kobe in the last round, but he made Dirk extremely uncomfortable in this round!
From Kobe to Dirk, from Cerrone to D'Addario. Ryan can be any type, he is never picky!
I mean, truly the best defensive player who can guard any type of player! "
After saying that, Chris Marlowe felt something was wrong.
but.
Anyway, Ryan's defense is invincible, that's what it means!
After Ryan finished blocking the shot, he didn't say anything to Nowitzki. Instead, he looked at Terry:
"Be reckless! You claim to be able to beat DPOY's offense, is that all?
Let me guard Dirk. This fucking German can't attack at all! How do I reflect the value of my best defensive player?
Hurry up and send someone who can score goals to face me! "
Nowitzki:.
Although Dirk never said a word of trash to Ryan from beginning to end, there was nothing he could do about it. Once Gatlin started sweeping up, it would be easy to accidentally hurt him.
Crazy, Ryan is so crazy that there is no limit to it.
He said before that he would definitely win against the Mavericks, but now he says that Nowitzki doesn't know how to attack at all.
Terry has never seen a player who dared to be so crazy when facing the Mavericks!
but.
In these two rounds, there was really nothing I could do against Ryan!
After the Nuggets counterattacked, Ryan once again used the screen to break through and met Diop's defense again.
But this time Ryan did not force the frame, but leaked the ball to Webb, who easily hit 2 points in his own sweet spot.
Since the beginning of the second half of this season, Ryan's offense with the ball has become more and more mature.
Josh Howard can make it difficult for Ryan to play without the ball, but when faced with Ryan's pick-and-roll with the ball, there are not so many ways.
After the next attack, the Mavericks also knew that someone other than Dirk had to step forward.
And this person must be the second scorer Terry.
As Dirk's tough Rauji, he must be tough at the critical moment!
Terry also chose the pick-and-roll breakthrough method to beat Kirilenko. After using Diop's screen, the Jets sprinted with all their strength, entered the penalty area diagonally, and made a reverse layup, hoping to use the cover of the rim to avoid the block. .
But as soon as he raised the ball, before he could take a shot, the basketball was slapped directly on the backboard by Kirilenko who was catching up! Reverse basket? Take the risk!
This is the terrifying thing about Kirilenko. Even if you have broken through him, you are still within his defensive range!
Well now, the Mavericks’ second-leading scorer has also been educated!
Although the Mavericks have many singles players, the only one who has no solution is Dirk.
All other players can be held down.
But today, when the invincible Dirk is no longer invincible, the Mavericks have no way to break the game!
Their multi-point single defense has no advantage at all over the Nuggets' multi-point single defense!
Terry doesn't dare to meet Ryan now, for fear of being criticized for being autistic.
But unexpectedly, Kirilenko took the initiative to use his Mao-style English to complain:
"Jason, don't you want to fight DPOY? Why can't you even fight me?
I'm not even the Nuggets' best defensive player! "
Terry is going crazy. He remembers that Kirilenko was not like this before!
There is no way, the leader of a team often affects the temperament of a team.
Being around Ryan and Bird every day, Kirilenko is also very interested in the art of speech
After being blocked for two consecutive rounds, the young general Johnson was a little panicked now.
How come two of my complicated offensive tactics have been cracked!
Fortunately, I have more offensive tactics!
The Nuggets temporarily suppressed the Mavericks, but the Mavericks failed to restrain the Nuggets.
Ryan passed the ball to Webb as usual, and Diop tried his best to save it and interfere with Webber's shooting.
But Weber made a back pass from the free throw line, leading Kirilenko to quickly cut inside and score a dunk!
Because Diop was pulled out of the penalty area, Kirilenko's dunk was easy.
Terry? With his height and wingspan, there was nothing he could do against Kirilenko's inward cut!
It was 6-0, and all the Chinese fans cheered.
Is this the caliber of the Mavericks?
How dare they threaten to send Chinese players home!
Ryan beats them up!
The Dallas Mavericks' offense is now very embarrassing, with several single points not being able to take advantage!
Nowitzki was cheated, Terry was cheated, and Josh Howard was scared.
The young general glanced at Stackhouse, the sixth man on the bench. Should he be the first to use this double-edged sword?
Stackhouse's role in the Mavericks is similar to that of Ginobili. If he uses it well, he kills his opponents, but if he uses it badly, he kills himself.
This guy has never shot 41% in the playoffs in a season so far in his career.
40% is his limit.
So under normal circumstances, the young general would not count on him too much. After all, you can't predict whether a player will be able to smoke tonight.
Avery Johnson curled his lips and wanted to observe a few more rounds.
On the court, the basketball has been passed around, but no one can solve their matchup alone.
In the end, Terry could only play a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki.
The Nuggets strictly follow the strategy of unlimited defense changes. After the pick-and-roll, AK directly defends Dirk, while Ryan defends in front of Terry.
AK47 is naturally one of the great weapons for defending Dirk. Except for being slightly weaker in confrontation, it is very suitable for defending against Dirk in other aspects.
So Nowitzki won't play too easily.
Bird felt that he was too slow to get started during the regular season, so he always used Nene to defend Dirk.
If he had used AK or Ryan earlier, he would not have lost to the Mavericks three times in the regular season.
Fortunately, at least in the playoffs, the Nuggets will not lose to them three times again!
Terry didn't pass it to Nowitzki either. He held his breath and wanted to hit Ryan alone!
Ryan kept pushing and nagging, which made him very embarrassed and his head hurt with anger!
Ryan also knew that Terry was very angry, so he decided to make him even more angry!
"Come on Jason, I'm probably the first best defensive player who's willing to personally guard a piece of trash like you!"
As soon as he said this, Ryan clearly saw veins popping up on Terry's head.
Seeing his opponent's furious look, Ryan felt a sense of accomplishment.
Terry is also a person with a temper, and his self-esteem simply cannot stand such trampling.
Therefore, Terry decided to fight Ryan directly this time!
He made a crossover outside the three-point line and then directly accelerated to break through, but even under the No Handcheck rule, it was not easy for Terry to forcefully break through Ryan.
Although Ryan did not block him directly in front of him, he still stuck his body on Terry's side.
Terry didn't stop. He carried Ryan into the penalty area and made a simple and crude throw.
In this round, Terry was too stimulated by Ryan's trash talk, so he attacked too hastily.
He threw directly without getting rid of the defense at all, which was tantamount to suicide!
This is the role of trash talk. It can not only insult the opponent, but also make the opponent lose their sense of proportion.
The moment Terry threw the ball, Ryan flew up quickly, jumped into the air, and raised his arms high.
He directly hugged the basketball that was still rising with both hands!
Ryan confiscated the ball with both hands and gave Terry an exaggerated two-handed catch!
Seeing this scene, Chris Marlowe hammered the commentary box hard:
"It's so easy and enjoyable to defend Terry! He shouldn't challenge the best defensive player, he should pass the ball to his teammates!"
Domestically, countless fans who were watching a serious basketball game for the first time were also stunned.
I had only heard about how powerful Ryan was before, but when I saw it today, everyone said that they had been deceived before.
Is this awesome?
This is obviously outrageous!
Even a person who doesn't understand basketball can see how terrifying Ryan's height is!
Terry felt like he had been slapped in the face in public, grabbing the hat with both hands was simply a form of contempt for his offense!
After grabbing the basketball, Ryan immediately counterattacked and passed the ball to Miller.
Because this catch was too sudden and shocking, the Mavericks players even froze on the spot and failed to react immediately to retreat.
This gave Miller a 1V0 fast break opportunity after taking two steps!
Terry was the first to react and quickly pursued the defense. He could only use this method to relieve the embarrassment.
The Jets pressed Miller into the penalty area, but Miller did not make a layup when faced with an empty basket. Instead, he casually threw the ball to the backboard.
Immediately afterwards, Terry felt that there was no light under the basket.
He knew at that moment that he was doomed.
Damn it, I ran so fast just in time to serve as a backdrop for Ryan!
"boom!"
Ryan jumped up from behind Terry, grabbed the basketball in the air through Terry, and slammed it into the frame!
Terry was knocked down directly by this huge impact, and was extremely embarrassed!
Ryan used a violent dunk that was full of visual impact and knocked Terry over!
The domestic audience was stunned. This was the first time they knew that basketball could be played like this!
Ryan landed with his legs just straddling Terry.
The lion king proudly looked at the dying prey at his feet, his eyes full of disdain:
"Smile, Jason. At least you can tell your children in the future: I was guarded by the best defensive player!"
Jason Terry's dignity was smashed to the ground. In addition to being humiliated, he also regretted it.
I regret that I beeped too much before the game!
From the beginning, Ryan completely destroyed the Mavericks on both offense and defense.
Nowitzki and Terry, the two top scorers of the Mavericks, combined, but they couldn't score even 1 point on Ryan, and both were blocked by Ryan!
Not only is today not the end of the best defensive player, but it is the best night of performance for the best defensive player!
However, Terry and Dirk's tragedy is just the beginning.
Next, the entire Mavericks team will experience the terror of the best defensive player.
Ryan wants to tell the world what it means to win with the Mavericks!
Thanks to the disciples of Fengshen, Zhang Jialu and other big guys for their rewards, thank you stepfathers!
