Chapter 123: Provoking the defending champion? The Lion King takes the lead!

Chapter 123: Provoking the defending champion? The Lion King takes the lead!

The day after Ryan and Kobe Bryant exchanged three-pointers, all the well-known sports reporters broke the news:

"When Ryan shot 90 of 100 three-pointers against Kobe in training camp, he defeated Kobe!"

Although Ryan's "Morning Club" is a closed training camp, video shooting is not allowed, and reporters are not allowed to interview.

But it is normal for the news to leak. After all, there are so many trainers at the training camp. They don't mind leaking tidbits to the media to make extra money.

As soon as the news of Ryan's 90-for-100 was revealed, fans started a heated discussion.

Just a year ago, when "Sports Illustrated" interviewed Barry Sr., Sr. Barry admitted that his highest record was 94 of 100 shots.

With this data as a reference, most fans feel that this is another rumor similar to "Garnett can touch the top of the backboard."

Although Brent Barry created the miracle of "white people can fly" by dunking from the free throw line in the dunk contest, by this period he had transformed into a serious shooter.

Ryan’s three-point shooting percentage is about the same as a pure shooter? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Everyone believes that Ryan beat Kobe in the three-point contest.

It is true that Kobe has a record of hitting 12 three-pointers in a single game, but when Kobe became strong, he really didn't recognize his relatives.

The cost of repairing Staples baskets has always been among the highest in the league. The wages of basket quality inspectors and maintenance workers there are higher than those elsewhere.

Therefore, it is indeed possible for Ryan to occasionally beat Kobe on the three-point line.

But Ryan is 90 out of 100?

This is too fake!

If Ray Allen said he shot 90 out of 100, everyone might still believe it, but Ryan? In many people's inherent understanding, Ryan is not very good at shooting three-pointers.

Although Ryan shot 35% from three-point range last season, many people still feel that three-pointers are Ryan's weakness because he only averaged less than 2 per game.

At least compared with the accurate mid-range shot, Ryan's three-pointer can only be regarded as a "barely one shot" level.

Such a person who is not very accurate in three-pointers shoots a three-point shooting percentage that is comparable to that of a pure shooter? Can you make the news more realistic?

Do you believe Ryan is accurate with three-pointers? I might as well believe that James will leave Cleveland!

Because there is no video evidence, just some rumors.

This makes Ryan's 90 out of 100 even less credible.

Of course, some fans think that 90 out of 100 may be true.

After all, once you get the feel for shooting, you can really perform beyond your level.

But once in a while, a good shooting shot with a high shooting percentage is nothing special.

Ryan would never be able to perform at such a three-point level in official games.

For a time, the entire Internet was in uproar.

Reporters are also searching for Kobe and Ryan all over the world, hoping to learn the truth from the people involved.

But the reporters didn’t even know where the Dawn Club door opened, so they could only look around like headless flies in Denver.

Before the new season training camp was about to start, no one found Ryan or Kobe.

At this time, Ryan was lying at home, enjoying Daddario's massage.

This is one of the few moments Ryan has to relax before the start of the new season.

The training at the Dawn Club ended a few days ago, and Ryan also successfully gained two new traits.

The first is Monta Ellis's "gorgeous breakthrough player" trait, which increased Ryan's layup feel, ball control and speed by 3 points.

Ryan's speed was directly increased from 98 to 99, becoming the second attribute to be increased to full level after mid-range shot.

The remaining points were randomly added to the physical strength of the same type of attribute, making the physical strength become 93.

The layup feel and ball control reached 77 and 63 respectively.

Then Ryan also chose a "Tough Defender" trait bonus from Kobe.

The prediction of passing steals, prediction of ball-handling steals and prediction of blocks were all +3, reaching 64, 63 and 66 respectively.

Although the attributes in this area are still very low, it doesn't matter. After all, Ryan is not the kind of player who relies on data to defend.

Ryan's defense and ability to create mistakes from the opponent are a bit lacking.

But it can perfectly complete the goal of "preventing the opponent from scoring goals".

Pressing and pressing, Ryan felt his back being pressed by two soft lumps.

Daddario lay on Ryan's back and put his mouth to his ear: "Who are you texting with all the time?"

Ryan didn't mince words: "Kobe."

"What do you two grown men have to talk about?"

"Hey, I just told him that I was going to go for a ride in the sports car he gave me"

Ryan felt happy when he thought of this.

Not only received Kobe's trait reward, but also received a new car.

Kobe was beaten when he came to Denver, but you are a pure talent in the NBA!

Is there any national athlete in the world who is more dedicated than Kobe?

Kobe looked at the text messages on his phone and was so angry that he almost smashed his phone!

Although a Porsche 911 is not expensive for Kobe, but spending money because of losing the three-point game, Kobe simply can't sleep!

Coupled with the unexpected popularity of this matter on the Internet, this made Kobe even more embarrassed.

It's not hard to imagine how uncomfortable this competitive guy must be when he sees the whole Internet talking about his loss to Ryan.

Finally, on the media day, the first day of pre-season training camp, reporters were finally able to interview the person involved.

As soon as Kobe walked into the team's locker room on the first day, he yelled angrily:

"Whose is that silver Porsche in the parking space next to me?"

Fourth-year guard Maurice Evans, who just transferred to the Lakers this season, raised his hand tremblingly:

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you couldn't park in the parking space next to you. I'll move it right away!"

Evans was an undrafted player. Although he signed a guaranteed contract with the Pistons last season, as an undrafted player at the bottom of the food chain, he knew very well not to offend the stars in the team.

With just one word from the fans, the team can send you away.

Morrison didn't want to leave Los Angeles, a place that attracted so much attention, so he didn't dare to offend Kobe at all.

Kobe frowned, as if he still wasn't calm: "You can park in the parking space next to me, but you can't park a Porsche! And you can't park any silver cars!"

The entire Lakers team was stunned. Did Kobe have eaten explosives?

What happened to your silver Porsche?

At this time, Smarsh Parker, the most powerful super giant in the history of the Lakers, asked very unsightly:

"Corvo, everyone on the Internet is saying that you and Lenby lost by three points, and you are so fake."

After saying that, Parker regretted it.

Because he saw Kobe's expression as if he wanted to eat someone:

"Smush, you stay and practice three-pointers with me today. Don't worry, we can just shoot a few hundred and leave. It'll be quick!

Also, don’t mention Ryan’s three-pointers and silver Porsche in front of me in the future!

Maurice, after today's training, go to Los Santos Car Repair King immediately to put a color-changing film on your car. I don't like silver! "

On the other side, in the Nuggets locker room, Ellis has been helping Ryan show off the silver Porsche:

"Andre, did you see the new car in my brother's parking space?"

Kirilenko waved his hand nonchalantly: "Are you getting a saleswoman in black stockings when you buy a Porsche? Len, you have already bought several cars, why are you still buying one?"

"Buy it? It's so funny! My eldest brother's new cars are all gifts from others!"

Everyone raised their heads: "Ryan, did you really beat Kobe in three-pointers? Did you really hit 90 out of 100?"

Ryan nodded calmly: "A trivial victory, Ellis, how many times have I said this? Don't talk about this kind of thing. Otherwise, others will think that defeating Kobe in three-pointers is such an honor."

Good guy, Bird even calls him good guy!

Nowadays, young people pretend to be beeps and bring their own compliments? Really good at playing.

Originally Bird didn't care about Ryan's three-point victory over Kobe, but on the first day of training, Bird discovered that Ryan wasn't just pretending, he had really gotten stronger!

Ryan's open three-point shooting in training has indeed improved greatly compared to last season.

A solid batch!

The Nuggets themselves are a weak three-point team. Among the starting five, Miller's three-pointers are basically negligible, while Kirilenko's three-pointers are unpredictable.

As for Ryan, he could only take one wide-open three-pointer last season, and his tendency to take three-pointers was not high. He is the type who can shoot, but cannot kill with three-pointers.

So when some games occasionally require long-range shots to explode points, the Nuggets will find it very difficult.

But now Ryan seems to be able to really shoot three-pointers, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance the team's tactical richness on the offensive end!

Bird touched his chin, Ryan's progress was really scary. Now, the team's tactical diversity can become richer again!

When being interviewed by reporters after training, the question most asked by reporters was "Ryan, did your three-pointer really defeat Kobe?"

Ryan saved some face for Kobe: "It doesn't matter. You just need to remember that I gave him a round trip in the playoffs last season."

"So is it true that 90 out of 100 three-pointers are true?"

Ryan shook his head: "The media likes to add fuel to the fire."

The reporters immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, it was just a rumor.

Because only the top shooters in the NBA can achieve a three-point shooting rate of 90% and above in training.

At his peak, Peja made 100 three-pointers in 113 attempts, which is almost a shooting rate of nearly 90%.

Ryan is already so strong. What if he has the three-point shooting percentage of a top shooter?

But soon, Ryan added:

“I didn’t achieve 90 out of 100 once, but I did it several times after the first time.

So please don’t believe some hearsay, this information is not accurate. "

Ryan said calmly, and the reporters listened with wide eyes.

Seeing that no one responded for a while, Ryan continued to add:

“At the beginning of last season, all the media were promoting that LeBron’s three-point shooting had improved and he was going to start killing it.

But it turns out that LeBron's three-point shooting is somewhat high and low. Last season, his final three-point shooting percentage was not even as high as in his sophomore year, and there has been a wave of improvement in the opposite direction.

This season, you can do the same for me.

The difference is, I will let you see what real progress is! "

Ryan's domineering declaration became a hot topic on the first media day.

Most people don't quite believe that Ryan's three-point shooting can improve so much in one summer.

After all, Ryan was the one who scored 60 points on the Suns last season without even taking a single three-point shot.

As a player with a very low tendency to take three-point shots, he became a three-point master in one summer? This is truly magical.

Some media ridiculed:

"O'Neal also says every year that his free throw shooting has improved a lot."

"LeBron was as confident as Ryan last season, but we haven't heard him say anything about three-pointers since then."

"Ryan is already so strong without a three-pointer. I can't imagine what he would be like with a three-pointer."

Not only some media, but also individual NBA players do not believe in this evil.

The man who was about to meet Ryan in the opening game of this season in the US server was very disdainful of Ryan's boasting:

"Ryan is very strong? He is so strong!

You are talking as if the Chinese team's championship is his alone. Without Yao, Ryan took the lead and won the World Championships!

Don’t forget, in the World Championship final, Yao scored the most points!

I don’t know why the final World Championship MVP was Ryan. Maybe FIBA ​​also needs his traffic.

Now, he says he is accurate with three points?

Sorry, I will let him experience what the true three-point accuracy is! "

This year, Stern arranged the Nuggets VS Warriors as the highlight of the opening game!

This is not only a sign of goodwill for the Chinese market, but also heralds the rebirth of danger in the west this year.

Stern just wants to tell the world: Even if you exclude the Mavericks, Suns, and Spurs, the traditional strong teams in the Western Conference, the Western Conference can still produce enough exciting matchups!

The competition this year is very fierce!

And Gilbert Arenas, this man from the countryside of Los Angeles has always been unruly.

After being eliminated by the Mavericks in the playoffs last season, Arenas rushed directly into the Mavericks locker room and pointed at Nowitzki's nose: "Damn it, I had prepared a victory declaration and a speech after the game, but you It’s all ruined!”

After being kicked off the roster by Meng Qi at the last moment this summer, Arenas was extremely dissatisfied with head coach Old K, two assistant coaches, SuperSonics coach McMillan and Suns coach D'Antoni.

And he fiercely threatened in front of the media: "I will score 50 points against the SuperSonics and Suns! If we play against Duke, I will score 85 points against them!"

Just ten minutes ago, he was still shouting to the media: "ESPN actually ranked our team's strength at No. 7? Are you kidding? Even the Cavaliers can be ranked No. 6!"

This guy who is always outspoken and speaks recklessly will naturally not be polite to his opponent in the opening game.

Arenas is like this, except for his teammates, he defies the sky and the ground.

In the original history, in order to let Nick Young start the game, he could even directly fake an injury and make the head coach furious.

In this history, what does it mean to fight against Yao Ming and offend Ryan?

Arenas felt that Ryan had stolen Yao Ming's limelight, and felt that Ryan's Grand Slam was nothing special.

This bulldog doesn't like to back down; instead, he absolutely loves playing against the stars.

Arenas is really planning to make a move on Ryan!

Arenas made such a noise, and the excitement for the opening game was immediately heightened.

Everyone wants to see what Ryan's three-pointer is like, and how Arenas, the bulldog, will tear Ryan apart.

In the following preseason games, Ryan did show stronger three-point shooting ability.

But overall, Ryan's three-point shots are still not many.

This is actually because the Nuggets are still adapting to the new three-point tactics.

Last season, because Ryan's three-point ability was average, Bird did not arrange too many three-point tactics for Ryan.

This season, Bird naturally wants to make the best use of everything and bring out the full strength of Ryan.

Therefore, many new three-point tactics have been added to Ryan.

As for the preseason, the main focus is adaptation and adjustment.

When exploring a new trail, of course you need to explore slowly at the beginning, rather than rush recklessly on an unfamiliar road as soon as you get up.

The whole team is still adapting to these new three-point tactics, so during the preseason, Ryan's three-pointers felt like: "It has indeed improved, but not much."

Kenny Smith summed it up like this: "Ryan's three-pointer is like Charles' appearance. It can scare people, but it is not fatal."

Buckley:

I think you want to catch the black golden abalone again!

After all the preseason games were played, the Nuggets were not too surprised and were still at the level of the defending champions.

But the performance of some other teams is more surprising.

The Heat only won 2 out of 7 games in the preseason. Their poor state was quite shocking.

O'Neal seems to have reached the age of retirement. After several preseason games, he failed to score in double figures in three games.

At the beginning of training camp, the Heat revealed that there was a big internal problem.

The cause was that White Chocolate was late for training, and an angry Riley scolded him very unpleasantly, which directly triggered a scolding war between the two.

It's natural for the head coach and players to be scolding each other, so O'Neal wanted to mediate.

Unexpectedly, Riley, who was so angry, also scolded O'Neal, and the scolding was equally unpleasant. Finally, he said, "If you don't want to stay here, you fat guy who can't move, then get out with him." end.

How can O'Neal be a fuel-efficient lamp? He shouted "You have the guts to drive me away" while rushing towards Riley.

Mourning and Haslem stepped forward to block it, but neither could stop the huge shark.

Of course, the shark was not Sprewell, and he did not directly strangle Riley's neck.

But he still pointed his finger at Riley's chest and gave friendly greetings to the maternal relatives of Riley's family.

Riley has been too anxious this season.

He knows the Heat are too old and other teams are getting better, so the team's window to win is shrinking.

Therefore, when this control freak sees something not going his way or a player not working hard, he will directly curse.

The Heat are in such chaos internally, and everyone knows that the beginning of their new season will not be easy.

I just didn't expect it to be like this.

Another team that surprised the entire league was the Warriors, but they surprised the entire league in the opposite way to the Heat.

The Heat surprised the entire league by losing too much, while the Warriors surprised the entire league by winning too much.

Arenas scored 30+ points in a row in the preseason, and his combat effectiveness is shameful.

After Dayao gained appropriate weight, he is now both flexible and dominant.

You can often see him fake shots in the mid-range, swaying his opponent, and then dribbling through, ignoring the players protecting the rim and dunking directly.

Dayao in this history has been raised very well and is no longer a bulky heavy center.

In fact, if you look at Yao Ming's career highlights, you will find that most of his wonderful goals were concentrated in the early stages of his career.

Yao Ming, who had both flexibility and strength, was at his most versatile.

Although he is indeed invincible in the low position after gaining weight, he sacrifices more things.

The most uneconomical thing is sacrificing your health.

In this history, Dayao maintained a state of just finding a balance between weight and strength, and after becoming the world champion, he was extremely confident and played even more brilliantly.

Role players such as Barnes, Jason Richardson and Jamison also performed well.

The Warriors were undefeated in the preseason and came all the way to the Nuggets.

The Golden State media all claimed: "The big generals and the little giants will make ESPN's strength rankings a joke! They will make the defending champion a joke!"

Arenas also spoke loudly after playing his last preseason game:

“I will lead my brothers to steal all the gold nuggets in Denver!

There is only one strongest No. 0 in the alliance, and that’s me!

Haha, Ryan can only pray that he can have a 90-for-100 three-pointer on the opening day.

But, luck won't always take care of him like that.

He can beat Kobe by luck, but he can't beat me! "

Ryan's title as the defending champion has not yet warmed up, but someone has already jumped out and refused to accept it.

If Ryan doesn't hold back on his early success, then who will convince him as the defending champion?

In the opening battle, the general must be beheaded directly!

October 31st, the day of the opening match.

A grand championship ring awarding ceremony was held at the Pepsi Center.

This is the second time Ryan has participated in the championship ring awarding ceremony, but last year he could only watch in the dark as the Spurs, whom he hated most, received the championship ring.

And this year, he can stand in front of the stage as a championship!

Ryan was the last to receive the ring. When he entered, the lights in the entire arena turned golden, and the cheers reached their climax.

Ryan hugged Stan Kroenke and took away the championship ring from the box.

The ring is very beautiful, with the Nuggets team logo on the front, Ryan's back number and name on both sides, and a small O'Brien Trophy logo.

Ryan took the ring and put it on his hand. According to the previous process, each player had to say a few words after receiving the ring.

But Ryan only said one thing: "Let us quickly start competing for the next championship!"

After that, everyone in the Nuggets stood under the brand new championship banner, raised their arms with fists in front of the camera, and showed off their championship rings. Behind them, the championship flag was slowly raised!

Arenas watched this scene in the dark and patted Yao Ming on the shoulder:

"We will also have such a day, Yao.

Most definitely! "

The team's outstanding form in the preseason made Arenas confident that his window for the championship has also opened.

Today, he is going to kill the defending champion and take the first step on his way to winning the championship!

After the championship ring awarding ceremony, the starters of both teams took their positions and prepared to start the game.

Arenas and Ryan, two No. 0s, the whole world is paying attention to them.

The general's previous series of unruly remarks had ignited the excitement of this game in advance.

Everyone also wants to see how the defending champion can maintain his dignity in the face of provocation.

Although Ryan hugged Yao Ming in a friendly way before the game, it did not affect the bloody fight between the two teams later.

Arenas's expression also became focused. This guy has always been a person who dares to take action against the entire world.

He was not a chosen one like Ryan who lived in the spotlight. After he was not selected by the Warriors until the second round in the 2001 draft, Arenas turned around angrily and entered the training hall to start training.

In his second year with the Warriors, he won the league's Most Improved Player Award. That was because his teammates were sleeping or eating fruit to supplement their vitamins.

But he was shooting wildly at the basket in the training hall.

He hired a veteran to be his trainer and used all kinds of incredible methods to train himself. Only then did he have a bodybuilder-like figure, with thick muscles that did not affect his flexibility.

And people like Arenas who have climbed up through hard work believe most in "do it if you don't accept it."

No matter what star he faces, he believes that as long as he is willing to work hard and be ruthless, he will definitely win!

At this moment, Arenas entered his "struggle mode."

He kept telling himself: "As long as I play hard enough later, I will definitely win against Ryan!"

The referee throws the ball into the air and the game officially begins!

Yao Ming won the first possession of the ball without any suspense, and Arenas got the basketball.

The person responsible for defending the general was not Ryan, but Kirilenko.

Bird decided to regularize the pattern of strangling Wade in the Finals this season.

That's right, in the first half, just let Ryan concentrate on attacking and let Kirilenko restrain the opponent's top superstar a little.

In the second half, Ryan was sent to completely strangle the opponent's superstar.

In this way, Ryan has enough physical fitness to complete the task on both offense and defense.

Faced with Kirilenko's defense, Arenas made several hip-hand changes very rhythmically one step outside the three-point line.

Then he took a stance, as if to speed up his breakthrough.

Kirilenko immediately stepped back. Unexpectedly, Arenas did not break through in the next step. Instead, he put the ball with both hands and threw a long three-pointer one step away from the three-point line!

AK47 immediately interfered. With his wingspan, Kirilenko's interference was very timely.

But the next second, the Nets still made a "swipe" sound.

Agent No. 0's first shot after the opening shot was a solid hit!

In this era when the importance of three-pointers is not so high, Arenas is one of the few players who can directly rise from the ground one or two steps outside the three-point line and hit the ultra-long-range artillery.

Last season, Arenas was the player in the league who made the most three-pointers besides Ray Allen!

This is why Arenas had such a big reaction when he heard that Ryan had practiced three-pointers in one summer.

Because he knows very well that the skill of three-pointers cannot be practiced by geniuses like you just by talking about it!

Today I want to show you what a real top three-point shooter looks like!

“Agent No. 0 hits a three-pointer, and the Warriors take the lead!

Gilbert hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up. Is this deliberately provoking the Lion King on the top of the Rockies? "

Mike Breen guessed right, Arenas was provoking Ryan!

After scoring the goal, Arenas even raised his finger at Ryan: "Come on, MVP, if you have the courage, you can also shoot a three-pointer. Let's see who misses the first three-pointer first!"

Arenas wants to deliberately force Ryan to shoot a three-pointer because he believes that Ryan's three-pointer will not be so stable. If Ryan takes too many three-pointers, it will inevitably lower the offensive efficiency.

If Ryan is really motivated to compete with himself for three points, then he has just fallen into a trap!

Ryan said nothing and silently ran towards the frontcourt.

The double-handed turkeys immediately handed over the ball after halftime. Ryan received the basketball between the three-point line and the midfield line. The person responsible for defending Ryan was Sister Shen, whose name was played badly by Chinese fans. You Insert deep.

During this period, Matt Barnes' strong defensive ability has not yet been fully tested, so the Warriors did not use him to fight Ryan.

This just gives Ryan a chance!

Ryan dribbled the ball slowly close to the top of the three-point arc, and then waved his hand to call for Nene to cover.

Seeing this, Arenas began to trash talk Ryan from a distance:

"Gang Mang, besides using the big man's cover to cowardly escape, what else will you do? Don't you say that three-pointers are very good? You shoot, what kind of pick-and-roll are you playing?"

Seeing that Ryan was about to cover, Richardson couldn't help but let Ryan take an extra step.

The speed with which Ryan broke through after taking advantage of the screen made the whole world fearful. If he didn't let go, he wouldn't be able to stop him.

But when Ryan walked to the top of the three-point arc and was not fully covered inside,

Suddenly he put his hands together and shot a three-pointer!

Richardson didn't react at all. Didn't he agree to play a pick-and-roll? How do you say just pull it out?

And he was holding the ball and shooting three-pointers, and he was so decisive? Is this still Ryan?

Ryan doesn't care whether he is holding the ball and shooting a three-pointer. As long as he is open, he can get the bonus of the "opportunist" talent!

The reason why he called the fake screen just now was to confuse Richardson and let him take one more step. In this way, you can get the opportunity to take action in an open position.

Jerry West's shooting package has excellent release speed, allowing Ryan to calmly throw the ball before interference comes up.

The moment the ball was thrown, Ryan felt great. Looking at the trajectory of the basketball after it flies out, it should also go in.

So, before the ball was scored, Ryan turned sideways and looked at Agent 0: "This is back to you, Gilbert."

"brush!"

"Ryan immediately responded with a three-pointer! Hahahaha, the two superstars were directly at odds from the first round!

Ryan is still tough, he responded immediately when he said he was going to respond, and he turned around in advance and had a friendly exchange with Arenas before the ball was scored!

This is why everyone loves Lion King so much!

Arenas is indeed a ruthless character, but so is Ryan! "

Mike Breen got excited, and so did the Nuggets fans at the scene.

A strong and positive response to provocation is what the Lion King is!

And shooting three-pointers with the ball is a skill that Ryan did not possess last season!

That straight-up fuck just now was so cool!

Ryan's three-pointer might actually kill someone now!

Arenas snorted lightly, but he didn't expect Ryan to respond to him immediately.

But it doesn’t matter, it depends on how long your luck lasts!

On the next goal, Arenas ran without the ball to the right side of the three-point line, and then made another three-pointer.

Little did he know that he missed the second shot!

Kirilenko interfered very well with this ball. Again, Kirilenko may not be able to lock down the opponent like Ryan, but the restriction can still be achieved.

After all, he was also a member of the first defense last season.

According to original history, the Russians have begun to decline this season. The reason is that after the Jazz, the combination of Deron and Boozer allowed the team to return to the pick-and-roll offense, Kirilenko was directly excluded from the offense by coach Sloan. outside the system.

His number of shots plummeted to only 6 per game, which was lower than his rookie season, and his playing time also plummeted.

Even backup small forward Matt Halprin took more shots than Kirilenko.

Kirilenko's enthusiasm was greatly dampened by the sudden decline in his tactical status. Although he knew that he could not be a core player, he didn't make as many shots as a substitute, right?

Over time, Kirilenko developed the mentality of "I've got the maximum salary anyway, so let's just screw it up if it fails."

So Kirilenko has never returned to his peak level since then.

But in the Nuggets, he is still an important role in the team this season. Moreover, after returning to China this summer, Kirilenko also accepted many local endorsements and tasted the pleasure of skyrocketing commercial value.

He believes that if he can win two consecutive championships, he can become an international superstar like Ryan!

Therefore, this season is also full of motivation!

In the round when he was chasing Arenas, Kirilenko did a perfect job and defended very actively.

Arenas is so embarrassed. He just said to Ryan, let's see who misses the three-pointer first. The result...

Why do I also have the talent of throwing boomerangs? ?

At this time, Arenas heard Ryan say something while running forward: "I finally know why Meng Qi doesn't want you. Your strength is really average."

"Fuck!" Arenas' veins popped out, and Ryan's words directly stepped on his painful foot.

In this round, Ryan began to attack by running without the ball.

Taking advantage of the double screen, Ryan reached to the right side of the three-point line and caught the basketball.

Richardson was stopped by the pick and roll, and Jamison immediately switched to defense.

But it's still slow. Defense has never been the advantage of Richardson and Jamison.

Ryan made his second three-point shot in the opening game, raised his hand and hit the basketball again!

"Second three-pointer!

Last season, Ryan averaged less than two three-pointers per game.

But it's only the second round today, and Ryan has already made two three-pointers! "

Ryan scored, looked at Arenas, put three fingers to his mouth, blew a breath, and then inserted it into his waist!

Before Arenas pulled out his gun, Ryan had already fired!

Arenas's face is dull, damn, you are still pretending, right?

No one can pretend to be in front of me, not even Jordan!

Arenas now knows that the defending champion does have some strength.

We can't continue to fool around like this.

Even if he lost this wave, he couldn't lose the game as well.

This time, Arenas controls the ball at the top of the arc, ready to charge directly!

After an accelerated breakthrough after pulling horizontally to the left, Arenas relied on Kirilenko to enter the penalty area.

Arenas' breakthrough has nothing to do with being agile and elegant. Although he is only 1.91 meters tall, he is more like a berserker than a jade-faced assassin. His broad shoulders and exaggerated muscles make his breakthrough extremely powerful. He is a veritable little steel cannon.

The biggest weakness of Kirilenko, a chops flyer, is that he is not that strong in confrontation, so it is difficult to resist Arenas.

Arenas walked directly to the basket against Kirilenko, forced a jump, and prepared to use his soft touch to end the attack.

Weber? An old guy who can't jump at all and can only stand on the ground to defend is nothing to be afraid of.

Indeed, Webb's athleticism is worse this season than last season.

This guy who used to be able to fly into the sky and escape from the ground is now basically only as high as a brick.

but.

The Nuggets have too many people who can fly!

As soon as Arenas threw the ball toward the basket, he saw Ryan coming from the side, flying into the air, and like a volleyball player, he slapped the basketball directly into the stands!

There was a violent block, which Nuggets fans are already used to.

Although Arenas can rely on Kirilenko to push forward, the speed of the forced breakthrough cannot be fast.

This kind of slow breakthrough is simply a risk to Ryan!

Arenas wants to break through and score? I want to eat shit!

After landing, Ryan shook his head at Arenas:

"This is not where you should be, you should just hide outside and shoot three-pointers.

I shoot three-pointers because I can, and you shoot three-pointers because you can only shoot from outside the three-point line!

Don't think you can defeat the defending champion casually!

You are really not qualified! "

Ryan blocked the shot domineeringly, causing countless fans watching TV to shake their heads and sigh:

"Ryan is worthy of being a Grand Slam player!"

Faced with Agent 0 who made rude remarks before the game, Ryan gave a tough response as soon as he came up. First, he hit a three-pointer to win, and then blocked Arenas' layup.

This is the majesty a king should have!

If anyone can kick you casually, and anyone can defeat you casually, how can you be considered a king?

Arenas, a first-timer, was severely repaired by Ryan in the opening stage!

The general gritted his teeth, and his blood pressure soared when faced with Ryan who was provoking him.

This guy has something!

Afterwards, the Warriors' serve from the sideline was directly intercepted by Kirilenko.

Ryan ran to catch the ball and made a triple-threat motion of sprinting forward.

Seduced again, Jason Richardson took a big step back.

As a result, after shaking the opponent away, Ryan took back his steps, and then

Another direct three-point shot!

Ryan continues to shoot three-pointers!

Arenas laughed. This guy really got into it and fell into the trap!

You are indeed lucky to score two in a row, but you will never be able to score three in a row comfortably.

"brush!"

Before Arenas could finish what he was saying, the basketball went straight into the net!

Mike Brin cheered:

"Ryan scored another three-pointer! After the opening, he hit three three-pointers in a row!

I think everyone should believe now that Ryan's three-pointers have really grown up!

It’s not a rumor, it’s not luck! Ryan's three-pointers this season are really killer!

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Grand Slam, he’s still getting stronger! "

Not long after the game started, the Warriors paused the game and was stopped directly by Ryan!

Ryan faced Arenas, and then naturally spread his hands: "It's so easy to pass you by three points!"

Arenas swallowed, it was over, he seemed...

What a shame!
