Chapter 130: Terrifying singles ability with new skills!

Chapter 130: Terrifying singles ability with new skills!

The Nuggets lost two games in a row on the road, but immediately won four games in a row when they returned home.

This made the head coaches of each team want to raise funds to hire a Feng Shui master to visit the Pepsi Center!

This place is so weird!

However, the Feng Shui master would probably shake his head after reading this: "I can't see it, because they are a group of noble materialists over there!"

The entire league is having a headache right now, especially the Western Conference teams.

The Eastern Conference teams go to the Pepsi Center once a season, but the Western Conference teams go to the Pepsi Center twice.

A team of 12 people, and one person loses twice, is equivalent to losing 24 times at the Pepsi Center in a season! Let alone the team, even the country cannot afford this consequence!

Is it true that no one can win at the Pepsi Center?

Everyone knows that winning ten consecutive games at home is not an easy task.

Even if you can fight to the end against evenly matched opponents and win every time, how can you guarantee that you won't be upset?

However, the Mavericks, who are about to visit the Pepsi Center, are not afraid of this red base in the western United States.

After all, they had just defeated Ryan's team!

Iverson said this in an interview:

"Ryan's team endured a lot of hardships, and they didn't take advantage of the fans on the sidelines. They were a very different team.

But whether it's on the road or at home against the Nuggets, it makes no difference to me. No matter where I play, I'm going to do my best and win. "

Terry also said the same thing: "Whether it's in Dallas or Denver, the size of the basketball court is the same, the position of the basket is the same, and the rules of the basketball game are the same. So for us, there is no difference. You’ll still win.”

When the reporter heard this, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "You mean, are there other places where the rules of basketball can be different?"

"Of course, take Klee for example. Forget it, pretend I didn't say it. Anyway, we will win at the Pepsi Center too!"

AI and Terry's speeches were actually quite good. They couldn't be said to be particularly crazy. At most, they were confident.

But when Josh Howard spoke, he seemed a little arrogant:

"You guys are talking like the Pepsi Center is some kind of invincible place, but let me remind you, even the 72-win Bulls, the best team in history, lost twice at home that season.

Even the 86 Celtics lost a home court.

There is no team in the world that is undefeated at home.

how? Do you think this Denver Nuggets can compare with the 72-win Bulls or the 86-win Celtics?

Just Ryan? Hehe, he can't even compare to the little fingers of Jordan and Bird.

So it's not that the Nuggets won't lose, it's just that they haven't encountered a truly strong opponent at home.

I'll be with the team and let you see what the real top teams in the league are. "

How crazy is Josh Howard? His words not only offended Nuggets fans, but also directly caused a wave of attacks!

What does "It's not that the Nuggets can't lose, it's just that they haven't encountered a truly strong opponent at home"?

The translation of this sentence is equivalent to "I am not targeting the Nuggets, I am saying that everyone in the league is happy!"

There is a reason why Josh Howard is so crazy. The Mavericks' record this season is indeed outstanding.

So far this season, the Mavericks' record is 13 wins and 2 losses, which is better than the Nuggets' 12 wins and 3 losses!

And this season, Josh Howard's playing time and exposure are much higher than before.

The Mavericks are invincible this season, and he is an indispensable part of this Mavericks team. The most important thing is that he did help the team beat the Nuggets last time!

If he's not crazy, who is?

He now belongs to a bachelor who goes to the bar to watch the DJ dance - look at the swelling!

Of course, Josh Howard is not only inflated because of the team's good record. The reason why he was able to restrict Ryan a little in the last game, and the reason why he was so crazy in this game, is because he has the "reference answer" to defend Ryan.

Since the young general Johnson was brutally beaten by Ryan in the playoffs last season, he has been locked in his room during the offseason watching Ryan's game videos, studying them carefully frame by frame.

Finally, he discovered some details about Ryan's offense.

Ryan's breakthroughs are often a one-shot deal, without fancy dribbling, purely relying on the speed of the first step.

If you can succeed in the first step, you can succeed; if you can't, you will be blind. Therefore, Ryan does not change much after holding the ball, and the main focus is on focus.

Whether Ryan is holding the ball, just receiving the ball, or acting as a triple threat, as long as he lowers his center of gravity, he will definitely take the first step to break through. Josh Howard only needs to move back and block in advance.

Similarly, if Ryan does not focus on the ball, no matter what fake moves he makes, he will definitely shoot in the end. There is no such thing as a sudden dribbling change. When the time comes, just focus on blocking shots!

To put it bluntly, Ryan's rhythm changes little after holding the ball, and you can study it thoroughly as long as you study it carefully.

It was by using this strategy that Josh Howard was able to contain Ryan slightly in the last game.

Today, he will still use this strategy to deal with Ryan, making Ryan struggle on the offensive end.

The Mavericks are coming with force. The team with the best record in the league is ready to conquer the Pepsi Center.

The Rocky Mountains are easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the heavily armored knights could only barely attack halfway up the mountain before being defeated.

But the cowboys from Dallas are very confident in conquering this mountain!

Of course, various media do not believe that the Nuggets have no chance of winning, and they are not overwhelmingly optimistic about the Mavericks.

The Nuggets lost the last game, and the problem was not particularly complicated.

The final reason is that when Ryan is restricted, the firepower is not enough to compete with the Mavericks who have multiple singles points.

So it is very simple to solve the problem. We just need other people in the Nuggets to give Ryan more support in terms of firepower.

Bird also arranged it this way. In the next game, he needs the Nuggets to perform more vigorously.

During the tactical meeting, he also told the players: "In the next game on the offensive end, everyone must allocate the time to take action, and cannot rush all the time. When you feel that you can't stop the opponent's counterattack, take a break in time and don't continue to take action. . But don’t stop completely. Remember to use your mouth, tongue and small movements with your hands at the same time to continue attacking the opponent!"

Ryan felt that Bird's arrangement made sense, but he always felt that something was not right when the words came out of his mouth.

Why does it feel like the rhythm is almost the same as when I do something?

Bird also believes that the key to winning the next game is to give Ryan more firepower support.

Don't let Ryan's score compete with the scores of several others.

AK47 immediately patted his chest after hearing this strategy: "Don't worry, I've been practicing with Ryan every day recently, and I've made great progress in three-pointers and mid-range!"

Ellis also came close to Ryan: "Brother, you know me. I never stretch my hips in key games."

Even the double-sword turkey rarely showed a strong desire to score: "I can attack AI's roots with my hip, and I should be able to take him down!"

Everyone is ready to win the Mavericks and continue the momentum of the unbeaten home game.

Ryan was also very moved, Mina-san, our bond really cannot be ignored!

As a result, the game scene on the second day

"Missed again! Andrei Kirilenko has made 0 of 3 shots at the start of the day!

Terry defended Kirilenko very well and did not give AK47 any chance! "

Amid the shouts of the on-site commentary, Kirilenko glanced at Ryan awkwardly and smiled apologetically.

At the beginning of today's game, Ryan focused on organization. After all, the strategy of this game required him to let his teammates actively participate in the offense.

Therefore, Ryan fed Kirilenko three consecutive times after the start.

Kirilenko originally wanted to vent his offensive desire today and help Ryan share more pressure.

But today, Terry stayed with him.

The young general couldn't help but smile as he watched Kirilenko hit the iron three times.

The little general is not an idiot. The whole world knows that the key to the Nuggets' victory is to have more flowers. How can the little general not know that?

In order to deal with this strategy, he responded with tit for tat today, resolutely man-marking on the defensive end!

Don't give role players a chance to score easily and force Ryan to play in isolation!

Last season, the Nuggets used this strategy to kill the Mavericks. This season, the young general will make the Nuggets pay for their debt with blood!

Of course Ryan is very strong in isolation, but it doesn't matter. He can't compete with the powerful Mavericks alone!

So today, the Mavericks did not flank or help defend Ryan, so others did not have a good chance.

Kirilenko was extremely embarrassed. Although Terry had been very defensive about him just now, Terry was short after all. When AK47 shoots, Terry can basically only interfere with his mouth.

As a result, this still doesn’t make sense!

And not one, not two, the AK47 shot three times in a row and all missed the target, making it a master of human body contouring.

There is no way, Kirilenko is not an elite scorer after all. It is true that he has worked hard in training this season, but the stability of his shooting is not something that can be significantly improved by just working hard for a few days.

After the Mavericks counterattacked, Nowitzki received the basketball from the mid-range position on the right side.

He knew that Ryan's steal ability was average, so he boldly broke through the frame, dribbled the ball in the middle, and took drift shots.

Ryan tried his best to block it, but the basketball finally hit the net!

This goal gave the Mavericks a 6-point lead, but 6 points was not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that the German tank's condition looks good today!

There was no problem with Ryan's defense just now, but Nowitzki was still able to score the ball.

For a player like Nowitzki, if he feels good, he can ignore the defense!

This can't help but make Nuggets fans even more worried.

The offense is not good, plus a Nowitzki with excellent touch? this

After one turn, the Dual-Blade Turkey attempted to back-hit the AI.

But when Miller turned around and shot a jumper, Iverson immediately cut the ball away!

Iverson is different from Harris last season. After all, he is the three-time steal champion!

Last season, Harris could only be passively beaten when faced with the hip attack of a double-handed turkey.

But AI has the ability to take the initiative!

The Nuggets' offense failed again, but fortunately, after the Mavericks counterattacked, Josh Howard's three-pointer also bounced out of the frame and failed to widen the point difference.

Ryan grabbed the rebound himself and ran all the way, trying to speed up the tempo.

But Josh Howard's persistent pursuit was so annoying that Ryan couldn't speed up and couldn't dribble across half court smoothly.

Finally, Ryan used Weber's cover to break through and went straight into the Mavericks penalty area!

But Nowitzki and Dampier, the second center in the Western Conference, were both guarding the basket at this time. In addition, Josh Howard is also chasing Ryan.

Even if Ryan is as strong as an ox, it will be difficult for him to attack the frame and score in a three-man attack.

Now, the Nuggets just need efficient scoring.

In desperation, Ryan leaked the ball to Weber, and Weber made an open mid-range jumper.

This is the first open shot opportunity the Nuggets have today!

However, this is not because Mavericks missed it, but because the general did it intentionally.

Weber is a point that the young general thinks can be let go. It does not necessarily have to be man-to-man to deal with him. Weber's shooting percentage has been quite tight this season.

This season, Webber is averaging only 11.6 points per game. Injuries and aging have caused lower body strength problems, causing Webber's mid-range shooting percentage to drop significantly.

Sure enough, although it was open, the basketball bounced out of the frame again, and the Nuggets still failed to score!

Bird curled his lips. It seemed that every step he took was planned to death by the little general. He was really prepared!

At this time, Big Bird looked at Ellis on the bench and tilted his neck at him.

Monta Ellis was very excited to be able to play early. He immediately took off his training clothes and went to the technical table to prepare.

On the court, Terry's breakthrough layup was slapped directly out of the baseline by Nene.

Dead ball, Monta Ellis came on and replaced the double-handed turkey.

When Ellis came on the court, his expression was very focused.

This scene of father and son fighting in battle at a desperate moment is what Monta Ellis has longed for!

He has imagined countless times that when the rest of the team cannot stand up and Ryan is in trouble, he will stand up and change the trend of the game forcefully, and then join forces with Ryan to send the opponent to hell!

And today, this fantasy scene finally appeared!

Fans are also looking forward to Monta Ellis. The last time they played against the Cavaliers, the Nuggets' reversal started when Monta Ellis came on the court early.

Sure enough, as soon as Ellis came on the court, he stole the Mavericks' baseline serve!

He reacted quickly, biting the AI, and reached out to destroy Dampier's pass to the AI ​​in advance.

After completing the steal, Ellis immediately counterattacked with the ball in an attempt to push for a fast break!

Ryan and Nuggets fans are very pleased. At least today, not everyone is so stretched out!

The team's first goal today is about to come!

Ellis advanced quickly with the ball, but after reaching the free throw line, Ellis' CPU seemed to suddenly burn out.

I saw that he did not continue to advance into the penalty area, nor did he make a jump shot, nor did he pass the ball to his teammates. Instead, he made an inexplicable sudden stop, then casually turned around and dribbled back to the three-point line, and then shot directly in the face of the AI's defense.

This operation that even Big Mikey couldn't think of was executed by Ellis.

Needless to say, the result was that his three-point shot bounced directly off the frame due to the interference of the AI.

The Nuggets' role players hit the mark again!

The first goal of the day was about to come, but in the end, we missed it in this way!

Bird looked at Ellis with cannibalistic eyes, and Ryan also glared at Ellis viciously.

Ellis buried his head, knowing that he was out of luck.

Just now, Ellis mainly felt that Iverson, whose real height is less than 1.8 meters tall, was defending him anyway, so why not just pull a three-pointer?

So, Ellis made an inexplicable sudden stop, dribbled back to the three-point line, and shot directly.

Watching basketball play, Ellis also admitted that he might have been fighting with his left and right brains at the time!

Ellis made such an outrageous shot as soon as he came up, and this also meant that

Today it will be very difficult for the Nuggets to rely on role players to provide firepower support to Ryan!

This is why the NBA does not have 82 wins in a single season, nor does it have a complete home victory in a single season.

Because in a basketball game, there is always an opponent who can target you!

Ryan is convinced, what kind of Poole operation is Ellis doing? Poole is a macho guy who was caught by Kuzma in the locker room while watching a royal movie. He just finished a round and his mind was unclear, so forget it.

But you Ellis don’t seem to have the habit of watching art films in the locker room before games.

After Monta Ellis struck the iron in that incredible way, Dampier grabbed the rebound and switched to the Mavericks' offense.

This time, the Mavericks did not waste the opportunity to open the score.

AI used a fake move outside the three-point line to shake Kirilenko's center of gravity and immediately broke through, and scored a layup during the confrontation under Webber's defense!

The Mavericks start with an 8-point lead!

Junior General Johnson was very proud, his defensive strategy worked very well today!

If the Nuggets want to score next, they have to let Ryan play in isolation!

The Nuggets can only play according to my little general's wishes!

Of course, the young general doesn't expect Josh Howard to be able to completely defend Ryan, but just like in the last game, Howard only needs to slightly contain Ryan's offense, and Ryan's firepower cannot compete with the Mavericks!

After Josh Howard looked at the live score, he shook his head and prepared for an impromptu diss to humiliate Ryan with his words.

But before he could speak, Iverson covered his mouth:

"I know what you want to do, but you better not do it!"

Iverson knew very well that Ryan was the kind of person who couldn't be messed with.

Don't look at the fact that the team is in the lead now and is still playing smoothly. But if Josh Howard talks trash to Ryan now, this game may become very dangerous!

The scene where Iverson covered Howard's mouth was also caught on camera.

The on-site commentators all smiled: "It seems that AI knows very well that no matter how many points it leads, it must not annoy Ryan!"

After finishing speaking, Denver on-site commentator Chris Marleau smiled. The last person who had such intimidation and made others dare not even talk trash when they were leading was probably Jordan, right?

But the young and energetic Howard can't control so much. I'm leading by 8 points. I'm afraid of a hammer!

After the AI ​​took his hand away, Howard immediately yelled at Ryan:

"Today, I'm going to smash up the Pepsi Center!"

Iverson glared at Josh Howard and cursed MMP in his heart.

Okay, okay, you have to make this game more difficult, right?

What a fucking idiot!

This is how young people who are on the rise are not afraid of anything.

Last season, Josh Howard didn't dare to beep with Ryan too much.

But this season, Josh Howard has become arrogant.

Bird didn't pause the game, just nodded to Ryan.

This action means: "Stop organizing, attack however you want!"

Since the opponent has given him a singles opportunity, he can only use it first!

Although I know it will be difficult for Ryan to compete with the Mavericks with so many singles.

But this is the only way right now. In short, we must first break the scoring drought!

So in the next attack, Ryan received the basketball from the top of the arc outside the three-point line and did not pass it again. Instead, he gestured for everyone to pull away!

Seeing this, the young general laughed proudly.

Josh Howard is quite confident. After all, he went to the exam room with reference answers. Can you not be confident?

He believes that he has completely mastered Ryan's offensive habits.

Ryan started dribbling, slowly facing the basket. Then, Ryan bent forward, lowered his shoulders, and then took a step forward.

Lower your center of gravity! All these actions remind Josh Howard and Ryan to break through!

So he immediately took a step back, preparing to defend Ryan's breakthrough.

But as soon as he stepped back, Ryan pulled himself up straight from the ground. This fake shot that induced Josh Howard to retreat made Bird's eyes light up!

However, just being able to induce the opponent and then return it is not enough.

It's not that simple to have a stable hit rate with this trick of making a false break and then suddenly pulling out the real shot.

But Ryan has no problem with this aspect. After all, he has just harvested McGrady's pull-up talent.

I saw Ryan throwing the ball very smoothly, because Josh Howard was deceived and took a step back, so there was no time to interfere.

Just like that, Ryan made a solid pull-up three-pointer from outside the three-point line, breaking the scoring drought for the Nuggets!

In the first round of singles, Ryan scored easily!

Josh Howard was a little surprised, why didn't my "reference answer" work?

Ryan clearly lowered his center of gravity just now, why did he suddenly make a jump shot?

Ryan stared at the surprised Howard and shook his head at him: "You should listen to the AI's advice, kid! Don't fucking speak loudly to me, you have no qualifications!"

"Fuck!" Josh Howard was touched again. Although he was a rookie in 2003 at the same time as Ryan, he was older than Ryan because he played in college for four years.

As a result, that guy actually called me a kid!

Damn it, it must be a coincidence!

Don't think that you can beat me just by hitting a field goal once in a while.

I will definitely strangle you on the defensive end today!

The game continues, and the Nuggets are also using man-to-man defensive strategies.

AI continued to single out Kirilenko. This time he passed the Russian with a beautiful Crossover and then went straight into the penalty area.

But Kirilenko was very active in pursuing and defending. Of course the AI ​​knew how terrifying the blocking range of Kirilenko, the only outside shot-blocking leader in history, was. In this situation, a rash layup will only result in a risk.

Therefore, after the AI ​​entered the three-second zone, it did not directly force itself, but made a fake shot.

Weber was deceived by this fake shot, but Kirilenko was not!

He didn't stagger on the first shot. When Iverson really jumped up for a layup on the second shot, Kirilenko stretched out his arms and jumped hard!

"The AI ​​got strong under the basket and caught the risk! Kirilenko jumped up on the spot and caught Iverson's layup!

God, the only reason Kirilenko doesn't take DPOY is because DPOY is Ryan! "

How about the professionalism of Denver's on-field commentator Chris Marleau? This wave of his is just complimenting one and getting one free!

While blowing the AK47, don’t forget to blow the Ryan.

After AK47 caught the basketball, he handed the ball to Monta Ellis, and then roared!

His desire to continue winning at home is stronger than Ryan's. Since the offensive end is not feeling good today, let’s increase the intensity on the defensive end!

Just after Ellis took possession of the ball, Ryan at the top of the arc raised his hand and started asking for the ball.

Ellis obediently passed the ball over, and Ryan wanted to continue his duel with Josh Howard!

Josh Howard was still focused, and he vowed to use a beautiful defense to save face.

However, Ryan had already started to kick him in the face:

"This time, I will also shoot from outside the three-second zone. You don't have to worry about me breaking through to the basket."

As he spoke, Ryan pointed to a position one step inside the three-point line.

Bird looked at it and shook his head, feeling ashamed of looking through his own QQ space after work.

Wasn't I so rebellious back then?

Josh Howard didn't believe Ryan's lies. Ryan was just taking advantage of his words. He just wanted to lure his defense into a surprise attack, and then wait for an opportunity to break through. I'm not that stupid!

Ryan holds the ball with both hands, lowers his center of gravity, and then starts to the right! Josh Howard cursed secretly, you really want to break through!

He immediately moved sideways to block, but Ryan just made a triple threat fake move, but actually accelerated to the left and broke through!

Howard hurriedly moved to the other side, preparing to continue blocking Ryan. But as soon as Ryan took a small step forward and stepped into the three-point line, Ryan made a direct pull again! The triple threat moves one step and then pulls out, the whole action is very smooth!

Josh Howard's eyes widened, why did this guy have completely different offensive choices from the last time they met!

Josh Howard hurriedly reached out to interfere. From the perspective of the audience, Ryan made a strong shot against Josh Howard.

But in fact, Josh Howard's interference was completely useless.

The basketball spins and flies towards the basket. From the perspective of the audience, the fans can't help but feel a little nervous:

"Ryan can only rely on pull-up shots to deal with Josh Howard? The stability of this offense is not guaranteed at all!"

The next second: "Brush!"

"Ryan made a pull-up jump shot inside the three-point line! It turns out that the position Ryan pointed just now was exactly where he shot!

Ryan told Josh Howard in advance where he would shoot, but Josh Howard still failed to guard Ryan!

Ryan scored 5 points in a row, and the score was tight again!

Ryan seems to have entered some kind of wanton singles mode today! "

After Ryan scored, he also turned to look at young general Johnson:

"You'd better not continue to let this idiot guard me alone! Because I can defeat a bunch of your singles players alone!"

The practicality of the new skills far exceeded Ryan's expectations!

Although it was only two rounds, these two goals had completely given Ryan confidence.

Today, it is no longer difficult for him to beat Josh Howard alone!

Slightly restrictive? No, that idiot can't even impose a slight restriction!

It is indeed a bit difficult for ordinary players to match the firepower of a team by one person, but for Ryan, who has become stronger again.

Why not! ?

Ryan rubbed his hands and insisted on defending alone?

Well, then don’t blame me for getting high scores!

Thanks to Cerberus_Jiu and other big guys for the tip, thank you all!
