Chapter 129: The first wave of wool, the timely one?
Ryan defeated the Cavaliers at halftime, tying the historical record with 8 three-pointers in a single quarter.
These have brought the defending champion's intimidation to the highest point.
After defeating the Cavaliers, the Nuggets immediately defeated the Heat on the road and achieved their first away victory of the season.
It turns out that the Nuggets' deterrence is not only useful at home!
This original rematch of the Finals became no suspense due to the absence of Shark and Wade.
The Heat are off to a very bad start to the season, with only 3 wins and 3 losses so far.
And now, when O'Neal injured his knee and Wade dislocated his shoulder, it can be predicted that the Heat still have a lot of room for decline!
Don't worry, Riley, the Heat's "good days" are still to come.
Wade and O'Neal fell, which was actually something Bird expected.
As for the devilish training that that pervert Riley did, it would be outrageous if all members of his team were healthy.
When Riley was coaching the Lakers, he was still practicing devilishly even during the Finals.
Who can a normal player withstand this?
Compared to Riley, the players are probably more willing to go home and face the wife who can never have enough to feed.
After killing the Heat, the Nuggets started with 6 wins and 1 loss.
After this perfect start, Ryan also took the time to attend the 2006 Victoria's Secret show.
As one of the spokespersons of Dior, Lane naturally has to show his face in such fashion industry occasions.
But to be honest, Ryan really can't appreciate those shiny diamond-like clothes that cost millions of bling.
This thing is not as good as Daddario's five-hundred-dollar-a-box sexy clothes.
Daddario was recently researching "How to Give Your Boyfriend Seven Different Types of Girlfriends in One Week," which exposed Ryan to all kinds of weird clothes.
On the contrary, I have no interest in these clothes on T.
After the show, there was a stage where Ryan had to go backstage to take photos with the Victoria’s Secret Angels.
The supermodels were already familiar with this kind of commercial photos, and they took the initiative to get on both sides of Ryan.
Seeing that Ryan was a little restrained, the bearded photographer shouted: "Lyan, use your terrifying arms to hug all the girls!"
Ryan smiled shyly, this is not good, right?
Ryan nervously opened his arms and hugged all the models.
At that moment, Ryan felt that the world was so magical.
With so many supermodels in his arms, he would never have dared to be so bold in his dreams!
After the photo shoot, Ryan was ready to go back to the hotel to rest early. After all, I have to fly back to the team tomorrow morning to continue the season.
But Ryan found that he couldn't escape so quickly after taking the photo.
Because many models came forward and asked for Ryan’s phone number!
"If you have time, let's have a meal together"
"If I go to Denver to watch the game, can I call you?"
"I heard that your cat can do backflips? Take me to see when you can!"
Ryan really wanted to reply: "Whether my cat can do a backflip depends on what clothes you wear to see it!"
Ryan had never experienced the joy of having so many people of the opposite sex ask for their phone numbers at once in his life.
Let's put it this way, in the past life, Ryan went to the 4S store to look at cars. The saleswoman in black stockings saw Ryan's poor appearance and didn't bother to talk to her. A man who didn't even ask for his number from a female salesperson was surrounded by supermodels at this moment.
If Ryan hadn't rushed back tomorrow, he would have had an in-depth discussion with them on the design concepts of million-level clothing from the perspective of people in the fashion industry.
After returning to the hotel, Ryan couldn't even match the names to the people!
Fortunately, when Ryan saved the numbers, he added an easily identifiable note behind their names.
For example, long legs, peach butt, etc.
If mobile phones of this era had a grouping function, then these numbers would probably be thrown into the "spare tire" group by Ryan.
What if it really comes in handy in the future?
The next day, reports and photos of Lane attending the Victoria's Secret show went viral around the world.
Ryan's team needs this kind of traffic, and the Victoria's Secret show also needs this kind of traffic. This wave is mutually beneficial and win-win.
Monta Ellis looked at the photos of Ryan hugging supermodels in the newspaper and moved closer to Ryan:
"Brother, as a good young man who has pursuits and ideals and works in the branch, I have realized that I am no longer obsessed with tacky things like Dajinlao."
Ryan nodded: "Very good, there is progress in thinking."
But then Ellis laughed slyly: "I don't want Dai Jinlao anymore, but can I share the phone numbers of the supermodel sisters with my adopted son?"
Ryan glanced at him with disdain: "Asshole! How can a man be trapped by wine and sex? Give me a game!"
Ellis scratched his head in confusion: "Trapped by alcohol and sex? No, I'm not of drinking age yet! Don't worry, brother, I will never drink!"
Ryan was also convinced, but you didn’t even mention a word about sex!
Of course, since Ryan taught his younger brother such a lesson, he must not be trapped by drinking and sex, and he must set a good example.
Although I just attended the Victoria's Secret show yesterday and got a bunch of supermodels' phone numbers, I just rushed back to Denver this morning.
But Ryan still efficiently scored 26 points in the subsequent game against the Clippers, leading the team to another victory at home!
26 points may not seem amazing, but if it counts as 5 blocks, it is not difficult to imagine how desperate the Clippers players were today.
After this game, the Nuggets have won 6 home games!
There are still 4 games left before Ryan can unlock the first wave of rewards!
What makes Ryan uncomfortable is that the Nuggets will play three consecutive away games.
The home victory had to be put on hold.
In these three away games, the Nuggets also experienced their first consecutive losing streak this season.
The first away game was a loss in Los Angeles. In that game, Ryan couldn't believe it. Superstar Smush Parker actually scored a team-high 26 points!
Not only Parker, but all members of the Lakers seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today, each one was more aggressive than the other.
In addition to Kobe, five other Lakers scored in double figures, and the team's three-point shooting percentage was as high as 46.9%!
It’s true, the good-for-nothing Kobe Bryant hugged the superstars’ laps, but he still couldn’t win the championship!
But losing to the Lakers, Ryan didn't feel frustrated at all. Because Ryan knows very well that the Lakers are just eating dumplings.
Although the dumplings made by my sister-in-law are delicious, they cannot be eaten every day.
The Lakers just lost to the Nuggets by luck, but in terms of hard power, everyone knows that the Nuggets are stronger.
However, the loss in the next game made Ryan a little worried.
After the game against the Lakers, the Nuggets rushed to Dallas non-stop and played back-to-back games with their old rival the Mavericks.
After the Mavericks lost humiliatingly to Ryan in the Western Conference semifinals last season, Cuban spent a lot of money to trade Iverson from the 76ers!
The Mavericks, who are already excellent offensively, are even more powerful with the addition of the sharp knife of AI.
So far this season, although the Nuggets' record has been very good, the Mavericks have been on top of the Nuggets from beginning to end, ranking first in the Western Conference!
In the game against the Nuggets, the Mavericks showed how terrifying their offense is this season.
In today's game, Nowitzki was restricted by Ryan as usual.
According to the rhythm of last season, once Nowitzki is locked up, the Mavericks can already raise the white flag and surrender.
But this season, when Nowitzki couldn't score consistently, AI was able to stand up!
In the 2006-07 season, Iverson still had gas in the tank. This season, he can still average 24.8 points per game, shooting 45.4% of the total shooting rate and 34.7% of the three-point shooting rate!
The inefficiency problem that AI has been criticized for is no longer a problem in the No Handcheck era. Since the league changed the rules, AI's hit rate has basically been around 44%-45%.
In this scene, AI fully demonstrated its role.
In the first quarter, the Nuggets originally led by 8 points.
But in the second quarter, after AI took up the offensive banner, a wave of 14 points in a single quarter directly tied the score!
In the third quarter, Iverson stepped up his game and scored 15 points in a single quarter, leading the team to a 7-point lead!
In the fourth quarter, when Jason Terry also began to break out, the Nuggets could no longer hold back the Mavericks' offense.
In the end, Iverson scored 41 points in a single game, leading the Mavericks to successfully avenge last season's playoff defeat!
The effect of Iverson joining the Mavericks was immediate. When Nowitzki was restricted, the Mavericks finally had someone who could step up and continue to drive the offense.
Mark Cuban is also beaming. It seems that this year, the window to win the championship is really open!
In fact, the Mavericks won today not only because of Iverson's strength, but also because the Mavericks' defense has improved this year.
Josh Howard bit Ryan very hard today and basically didn't give Ryan any good shooting opportunities throughout the game.
Although he still couldn't lock down Ryan, he only allowed Ryan to score 28 points with a 42% shooting rate.
28 points is a lot, but compared with the Mavericks' terrifying firepower, it's somewhat inadequate.
The Mavericks suffered a two-game losing streak to the Nuggets. After the game, Josh Howard also spoke wildly at the press conference:
"It's a pity that we are not in Denver today, otherwise, their home winning streak might have been ended.
But that's okay, we'll be heading to Denver soon.
It won’t be too late to take away the first blood from their home court then”
As his strength improves, Josh Howard's mentality has also expanded a lot this season.
You can tell from the tone of his voice that he really thinks of himself as a character.
But it also reflects the fact that when Ryan can't easily get open, his shooting threat has dropped too much.
There is a big gap between Ryan's top shooting ability and his ability to shoot open shots.
And Josh Howard is exactly the kind of defender who can interfere with your shooting in time.
The Mavericks' defeat of Ryan put the Mavericks directly at the top of the latest strength rankings!
After Ryan's two consecutive away defeats, it also gave people the feeling that "the mythical halo of the defending champion has been broken."
Ryan also remembered Josh Howard's attitude after the game, but now no matter how much he wants to defeat the Mavericks, he can only hold it in for now.
After all, the NBA schedule waits for no one.
In the last game of three consecutive away games against Green Kai, Pierce promptly gave the Nuggets a head.
And next, there will be four consecutive home games that both Denver fans and Ryan are happy to see!
In these four games, the Nuggets played very smoothly.
Only the last game against the Utah Jazz was a little hindered.
Although the Jazz's presence has not been high since the turn of the millennium, the combination of Deron and Boozer has made the UCLA pick-and-roll come back again.
The Jazz's strategy is exactly the same as it was in the 1990s, relying on point guards and power forwards to score when opportunities arise after pick-and-rolls.
It's a pity that Kirilenko and Ryan are not afraid of the Jazz's pick-and-roll.
In the third quarter of the game, Bird asked Ryan to defend Deron and AK to defend Boozer.
If you encounter a pick-and-roll, attack immediately!
Don't tell me, UCLA's pick-and-roll was really cracked!
Because both Ryan and AK have the ability to defend multiple positions, no matter how Deron and Boozer pick and roll, there will be a difficult defender standing in front of them!
Sloan was convinced, thinking that Jordan + Pippen would already be the ceiling level of wing defense.
Unexpectedly, Ryan + Kirilenko will appear again in the 21st century!
The Jazz lost the game by 8 points, and after the Nuggets won this game, the team also won its tenth home victory of the season!
After the game, Ryan was extremely excited.
Finally, the tenth home victory that I had been longing for finally came!
At 10-0 at home, Ryan didn't even give an interview and walked straight into the locker room bathroom.
After opening the system, Ryan found that he had indeed won a lottery package!
This lottery package will allow Ryan to randomly receive a trait reward or talent fragment from an opponent he defeated at home!
At this time, Ryan felt like he had saved money for a long time and finally bought something he had dreamed of.
He turned on the faucet in a very ritualistic manner, washed his hands, and then clicked on!
A burst of white light flashed, and a Magic team logo flashed out. It seems that this opponent of the lottery comes from magic.
Immediately afterwards, the heads of a bunch of Magic players kept flashing.
Ryan also held his breath, waiting for the final lottery results.
Finally, Howard's head was frozen in the center of the screen.
But the next second, Howard's avatar flashed like a "countdown" and turned into McGrady!
Ryan couldn't help but say "Yeah", McGrady's reward should be considered the most suitable for him at this stage!
Outside the toilet, the teammates all shook their heads speechlessly.
Ryan was really embarrassed to celebrate in front of reporters just now, but now he was partying alone in the toilet.
Hey, maybe every man needs some private space.
After McGrady is randomly chosen, the draw continues.
Finally, Ryan drew a talent fragment belonging to McGrady: "Pull it out in time!"
Ryan:.
Although the name is very informal, don't tell me that it does play a role in naming the theme. You can probably guess the effect at a glance at the name of this talent fragment!
Sure enough, the effect of the talent fragment is: "Significantly enhance the stability of sudden pull-up jump shots while dribbling!"
The most talked-about thing about American sweetheart Tracy, apart from his slender legs that can be used as a sock-ripping model, is his invincible fucking.
McGrady's pull-up may seem like a strong shot, but in fact there are many ways to do it, and it's not as simple as a simple strong shot.
Most of Agua's pull-ups are to use a three-threat fake move to shake the opponent's center of gravity and then pull directly, which is different from McGrady's pull-up while dribbling.
You can guess Foreman Du's pull-up, but unless he has a problem with his own touch, it's impossible to miss because his shot is too difficult to be interfered with.
Kobe's pull-up is the least technical. It's just a random shot, but sometimes it can actually go in!
McGrady is different. You can't guess when his pull-up will come, because McGrady's pull-up is not a direct forced shot, but a fake sudden shot.
He has always been a master of the art of fake sudden shots.
McGrady is very good at using this fake-out shot to confuse his opponent to retreat or lower his center of gravity to prevent a breakthrough, and then use his height and wingspan to score a jump shot directly.
Therefore, many of McGrady's pull-ups appear to be strong shots, but in fact the opponent has no time to interfere with him.
Of course, any of these basketball skills may seem simple in theory, but they will be useless once you learn them.
In his previous life, Ryan was naturally obsessed with McGrady for a period of time because of Yao Ming's relationship, and he practiced McGrady's pull-ups all day long.
The result was that one day in the class competition, Wang Dazhuang from the second class cheated five or six times in front of the goddess. He watched Wang Dazhuang take the goddess into the grass of the school and kiss her after the game.
It's no use just knowing the secret of McGrady's pace. Whether you can follow up with a stable shot after a false break or not, to put it bluntly, it depends on your talent.
Just like Curry's shooting movements have been analyzed badly on the Internet, it is naturally no secret in the NBA.
But how many people can really follow his movements and become the next epoch-making three-point shooter?
On the other hand, Curry studies Jordan's dunks all day long. He has watched Carter's dunks from the sidelines since he was a child. Curry can also do those moves. What's the result? His dunk highlights are not as good as his failed dunk highlights!
Therefore, in competitive sports, just knowing the moves is not enough. In the end, it depends on talent, and McGrady's talent for fake jumpers and connecting jump shots is very rare.
But doesn’t Ryan just get fragments of Tracy McGrady’s talent?
That kind of fake sudden shot is no longer difficult for Ryan now.
Spring speed, height and wingspan, and keeping the body in a tight state are the core strengths to maintain balance, and Ryan also has them now.
The foundation has been laid, and now McGrady's magical touch talent is added when he suddenly becomes stronger.
Work together!
Ryan can now control the timing of pulling out at will and will never make the mistakes Jordan made in Houston!
After acquiring this talent, Ryan's strength has undoubtedly evolved again, and his ability to score points in positional battles has undoubtedly become stronger.
This mission, which allows you to extract talents or traits from your opponent by winning 10 games at home, is really cool!
And Ryan can't wait to put this new talent to use!
In a few days, Ryan will once again face the Mavericks at home, who have greatly improved their offensive firepower and threaten to defeat the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center.
Josh Howard was able to restrict Ryan slightly before, so that Ryan's firepower could not compete with the Mavericks.
But next, Ryan will let Cuban know what it means to be stronger than six!
As for Josh Howard, who was so arrogant at the press conference that he forgot his last name.
It doesn't matter, there's nothing that a good beating can't fix!
Since losing to the Mavericks last time, Ryan has been wanting to beat up Josh Howard!
After holding back for so long, the day to reunite with the Mavericks at home is finally on the agenda!
