Chapter 112: Unexpected reward! A strong opponent in the finals!
In the long history of the NBA, there is only one player who can win the honors of MVP+DPOY+Double First Team+FMVP+Championship at the same time in a single season.
Needless to say, you know who it is. This person is of course Olajuwon, the man who ranks second in history in terms of dream dance moves.
Even if he is as strong as Danzi, he has never had such a Grand Slam season.
Jordan actually almost did it in the 1987-88 season. In that season, he also collected MVP, DPOY and double first team honors, and also won one more scoring title than Olajuwon.
But in the end, because they were defeated by the Pistons in the playoffs and missed the championship, the most important thing was still missing.
For Jordan that year, fans only dared to say that "Jordan had his greatest championship-less season" instead of directly saying that he had his greatest season.
After all, without championships and victories, who dares to call himself the strongest?
Olajuwon's season in which both personal and team honors were Grand Slams is considered to be the same as Chamberlain's 100-point game in a single game. It is a season that is almost impossible to repeat because it is too perfect.
Things that are too perfect often seem unreal.
For example, people generally believe that there cannot be a rich woman in this world who is good-looking, virtuous, and willing to buy you a car or a house.
But this year, the only thing a man is short of Olajuwon's perfect achievement is the final championship and FMVP!
Moreover, the person who is about to have a perfect season in this Grand Slam is a third-year player who is less than 22 years old!
The whole world is waiting for Ryan to create a miracle!
Well, not that the whole world is expecting it.
In addition to San Antonio fans, Cleveland fans are not looking forward to it either.
Ryan made his way out of the Western Conference and reunited with Wade in the finals. Where does this make Ajan's face go?
Among the current 2003 rookies, Milicic won the championship early, and Ryan and Wade have also met in the finals.
So who was said to be the strongest in the 2003 class before the draft, comparable to Joe Mo, but now he is fishing in advance?
Cleveland fans: "What are you looking at? This guy is of course trash Anthony, whose reputation is greater than his strength! Although my emperor lost in the playoffs, his plus-minus value is high!"
But no matter how much Cleveland fans cover it up, they can't change an embarrassing fact - James has begun to fall behind!
This season, James was finally selected to the best second team, but what's the use?
Ryan is already a double-team player, and Wadeby, who was also selected for the best second team, has one more Eastern Conference championship than James.
James was known as the little emperor and wanted to compete with Ryan for the top pick. But now, he can only suppress Anthony a little!
No matter who wins the championship between Ryan and Wade, it will be a huge blow to James.
A Zhan was about to cry but had no tears. It was really difficult for a young man in a small town to work alone.
I don’t want to work hard anymore!
Where can I find a star player who is strong but willing to be my little brother?
Wade: You are stupid, how could there be such a fool in this world.
James also knows that this kind of thing can only be done by himself.
It’s easy to see from the team’s failure to pursue Reid and Ray Allen last summer that there are no stars willing to play in a crappy place like Cleveland!
If I want to find star teammates, I will have to walk out of the mountains on my own!
This terrible thought flashed through James' mind, making him shudder.
Wait, what kind of dirty idea am I having? Didn't he promise to bring a championship trophy to Cleveland?
There are no shortcuts in basketball. If I go somewhere else to hug my legs, what’s the difference between that and a fat, ugly loser like Barkley? Is that still considered a real ring?
No! Even if I, Azhan, never have a crown in my life, I will still stick to the village!
It can only be said that Ajan was not beaten enough by society.
In a few years, he might think otherwise.
A few days before the finals, ESPN also invited James as a special guest.
In the show, when talking about the topic that Ryan and Wade, two rookies from the 2003 class, are about to play in the finals, Ajan was very indifferent:
"You know, Ryan and Wade are both my brothers! Seeing them have the opportunity to compete for the highest honor in basketball makes me happy for them from the bottom of my heart!
Wade has Shark next to him, and Ryan has AK and Webb next to him. They all seized their championship window!
Although the two best players in the 2003 class are going to meet in the finals, I will let everyone know in the future that I am the only one! "
The ESPN host laughed awkwardly on the side, who asked you?
Moreover, Azhan has so many evil intentions in one sentence!
Deliberately emphasizing that Wade has Shark Ryan and AK and Webber around him, isn't this just saying that he doesn't have star players around him?
What? Larry Hughes, who led the team in defense and steals last season?
That thing can't even be used by dogs, can it still be considered a star player?
What? Last season’s All-Star Big Z?
Big Z can make the All-Stars, firstly because of Ajan's success, and secondly because there are no centers in the Eastern Conference. Otherwise, can he become an All-Star? Is he worthy?
The host seemed to realize that there was something wrong in James' words, so he asked him deliberately for the sake of the effect of the program:
"LeBron, if the team cannot be strengthened smoothly in the future, will you leave Cleveland one day for the championship?"
As soon as this issue was mentioned, James suddenly pretended to be pretentious and said righteously on a nationally broadcast program:
"I will never leave Cleveland! I must also win a championship trophy for Cleveland!"
Cavaliers fans cheered, but they probably won't be so happy the next time they see James speak on ESPN's nationally broadcast show.
While James was still practicing his boomerang skills even during the offseason, Ryan was frantically testing his new talent on the training field!
rest? There is no holiday for New Year's Eve, so what right does Ryan have to rest before playing in the finals?
After defeating the Spurs yesterday and winning the Western Conference championship, a hidden reward popped up in Ryan's system: a lottery opportunity for talent fragments.
In all these years of using the system, Ryan discovered that there were hidden rewards for the first time.
Because no hidden rewards have been unlocked before, this module is also invisible. After unlocking the first hidden reward, you can click in to view it.
After Ryan clicked in and looked at it, he found that the titles and mission descriptions of all hidden tasks were only marked with a "?"
Just like when playing a game, some hidden achievements will not directly write out the goals for you. Only after it is completed can you see what the goal is.
The hidden mission Ryan completed this time was to "defeat a team that defeated you in the playoffs last season with the same total score."
After reading this narrative, Ryan knew that the hidden mission was like opening a blind box in Foot Washing City, it was completely impossible to predict!
While playing the game, you can also see hidden achievement goals through online guides.
But who can think of such a goal of the system? Whether you can complete it or not depends entirely on luck!
But then I thought about it, Ryan didn't mainly rely on this thing to become stronger.
So, even though I don’t know the goal, it’s still pretty good to occasionally complete hidden tasks and get unplanned rewards!
It’s time to buy a lottery ticket!
This time, Ryan was lucky enough to win.
And even more fortunately, Ryan obtained a very practical defensive talent fragment through this talent fragment lottery: Hunter Instinct!
Effect: Greatly enhance reaction speed when moving laterally during the defensive round!
A player's speed on the defensive end is composed of body speed and brain reaction speed.
Although some players have good physical fitness, they are often beaten into dogs because of their slow defensive response.
Although some teams can react in their minds to block quickly, they can't move their legs, and their brains and bodies are doing their own thing, so they will be beaten into dogs.
Defense is a combination of physical fitness and brain.
If you have less of one, it will be difficult to become a top defender.
Ryan's current lateral movement speed is 96, coupled with such a talent fragment.
Wouldn't it be a joke to defend Wade?
On the training ground these two days, Ryan also found that his defense seemed to be stronger.
Because during the one-on-one in training, Monta Ellis, a master of one-on-one with the ball, was once blocked by Ryan and could not reach the three-point line!
Ellis has become autistic. He never wants to fight a bullfight with Ryan again in his life. The frustration is so overwhelming!
After all, I am also a super genius who, ah no, reached the finals with the team in my rookie season.
As a result, I couldn't even break through the three-point line in a one-on-one duel. If word got out, how could I survive in the world in the future?
It's understandable that Ellis couldn't beat Ryan, and he was used to being abused by Ryan.
But he couldn't even break through the three-point line. This is really a bit exaggerated.
It's like a father beating his son!
During the duel, Ellis felt as if Ryan could predict the future!
Every time he started, Ryan would move laterally in advance to block his breakthrough route.
Even if he changes direction while accelerating, Ryan can block it immediately!
For a moment, Ellis had the feeling of playing NBA LIVE against the computer on the highest difficulty level. No matter how you shake it, the computer will always stand in front of you and never lose its position!
But the computer is a program after all, and it is normal for it to be able to predict the direction of the player's breakthrough.
But Ryan is a real person!
In basketball games, the computer's defense has always been better than the player's. Ryan, on the other hand, suddenly displayed computer-level defensive tightness!
Ellis was stunned. He had been playing one-on-one with Ryan in training this season. In the past, no matter how fast Ryan moved laterally, he could not predict the situation on the defensive end.
What the hell... Did Ryan let me go when we were playing one-on-one before? ?
this.
At this moment, how powerful Ryan is depends entirely on Ellis's imagination.
In fact, Ryan certainly does not have the ability to predict the future.
The reason why he can give Ellis this feeling is because his reaction speed is too fast now!
The moment Ellis started, Ryan's brain could react immediately, and then move his body equally fast, which allowed him to always block Ellis' breakthrough route in advance.
Give Ellis the illusion of "why he can guess all the directions of my breakthroughs."
After practicing defense with Ellis, Ryan naturally became more confident.
Next, guarding Wade should not be a big problem!
The day before the finals, Wade also sent a text message to Ryan:
"This time, I will never lose the game again! In order to deal with you, I have made full preparations!"
It seems that Wade is equally confident about this finals.
No way, Wade is one of the few players this season who performed better in the playoffs than in the regular season.
This situation is quite rare among young players.
Moreover, Ryan has always recognized the strength of Wade at his peak.
Everyone knows that Tony Allen was terrible on the defensive end during his peak period, which made many stars praise him repeatedly.
However, Tony Allen in the original history said: "Although Kobe is very strong and I respect Kobe very much, I think the hardest person to guard against is Wade!"
Kobe has always been aloof and arrogant, but he once commented on Wade: "That guy is not a human player, he may be from hell!"
And in the original history, before playing the Finals with the Celtics on October 10, Kobe personally called Wade to ask for advice on how to break the Celtics' defense.
Because Wade played the Celtics in the playoffs that year and averaged 33.2 points per game with a 56% shooting rate! With this data, it can basically be said that the Celtics can't guard Wade at all!
For comparison, Kobe faced Green Kai in the finals of the same year and could only average 28.6 points per game with a 40.5% shooting rate.
Of course, Kobe ultimately learned nothing. Because Wade's answer made Kobe almost want to curse.
Wade answered him this way: "You just speed up and pass the first defender, and then just do a European step dunk when facing the subsequent defense. Yes, it's a Euro step dunk. Don't lay up, no. stable!"
Although this answer is stupid, Wade is so strong. After all, he is the man who won the scoring title as a substitute in the 2008 Olympics.
Compared with Kobe, Wade may not be as good as his opponent in terms of richness of offensive methods, deterrence at critical moments, and one-on-one defense.
Compared with James, Wade's body size and versatility are somewhat inferior.
But Wade's ability to tear apart defensive formations is something neither of them possesses!
Taken together, Wade at his peak is really not much weaker than the two of them!
The reason why Wade has been underestimated is mainly because there were too many inexplicable accidents in the middle and later stages of Wade's career, which caused his historical status to never rise.
It's hard to imagine that such a player would inexplicably lose the championship when he averaged 26.5 points, 7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in the 2011 Finals with a shooting percentage of 54.5%.
It is even more difficult to imagine that such a player would be abandoned by his brothers for no apparent reason at the age of 32, even though he was willing to be the second best player, and would lose tens of millions in vain.
Excluding those accidents, if the perfect score is 10 points, then Wade is worth 9 points!
There are even rumors that Nike already wants to buy out Wade's sneaker contract and recruit him.
Seeing that A'Zhan's number is about to become useless, and Kobe's record with the Lakers cannot improve, Hook will have to find a new partner.
After all, Wade is also the one who won the "Ryan Recognition Award".
But even though Wade is so strong, the media and public opinion are still more optimistic about Ryan!
There is no way, Ryan's resume this season is too perfect.
MVP, DPOY, double team. From the perspective of personal honors, Ryan simply blew Wade away this season!
Moreover, Ryan beat Wade once during the regular season.
People still remember that Ryan's three main statistics of points, assists and rebounds in that game were more than Wade and Shark combined!
Although Wade is invincible, Ryan's defense seems to be even more invincible.
Therefore, before the start of the finals, the overall public opinion believed that it was only a matter of time before the Lion King ascended the throne!
"The only question is how many games it will take Ryan to win the O'Brien Trophy, not whether he can win it."
"Shark and Wade can't be the second OK combination. It's not that they are not strong, but that they unfortunately appeared in Ryan's era."
"There is less than half a month until Ryan rules the league!"
Of course Ryan himself will not show weakness:
"I respect Shaq and Dwayne, but I have to take the championship!"
The Heat were very quiet on the other hand, and the sharks didn't jump out to make big claims anymore.
The Shark had already been beaten enough when he was slapped in the face by Ryan last time.
But under this promising situation, the first half of Game 1 of the 2006 NBA Finals.
Wade, on the stage of the finals, really acted like Michael Jordan!
