Chapter 134: Ryan has the final say whether there will be chaos in Denver (updated with 10,000 words
Jordan's "The Nuggets can't win at home, otherwise I will build a statue for Ryan" made the basketball world revel.
Can you not have a carnival? Dare I ask who is a basketball fan who doesn’t know that Jordan’s mouth was open?
Jordan in basketball and Pele in football, these two are simply as good at predicting things as they are.
Originally it was unlikely that the Nuggets would win at home, but when Jordan said this, Denver fans suddenly felt secure!
This sentence also made Nuggets owner Kroenke happy.
Because after Jordan said this, every next Nuggets home game will be full. Even if the ticket price increases, it will still be full.
Because for fans, every home game of the Nuggets is full of suspense and determines whether the Nuggets can win at home this season.
Of course, some Nuggets fans are worried.
I am worried that carrying the burden of "a complete home victory" will overwhelm the players.
The greater the pressure, the greater the motivation, and it may directly crush the players.
This kind of pressure sometimes motivates players, but sometimes it makes players lose their status on the court.
This is normal. The less you want to lose, the more you are afraid of losing.
The longer the winning streak, the more afraid of losing.
It's like the more beautiful the wife is, the more worried she is about cheating.
No, as soon as Jordan said this, the Nuggets lost to the Hawks in an upset after Ryan defeated the Mavericks with 58 points.
The Hawks are not even considered a playoff team this season, although the "isolation king" Joe Johnson played the best performance of his career in Atlanta this season, averaging 25 points per game, and he is like a superstar.
Although Josh Smith, the "James who only relies on his body," has begun to realize his potential and appears in the top ten on time every week.
But the overall strength of the Eagles is still in doubt.
The Nuggets lost to the Hawks not because the Hawks broke out, but because the Nuggets themselves did it.
Even Ryan made 11 of 27 shots after his 58 points in the previous game and only scored 24 points with a 40% shooting rate.
24 points on 27 shots, which is obviously not an outstanding performance.
The Nuggets' 26.7% three-point shooting percentage is even more eye-catching.
The Nuggets' five-game winning streak was ended. Fortunately, this game was played at the home court of the Eagles, and the unbeaten record at the Pepsi Center still remains.
But what is worrying is that this game proved that the Nuggets and even Ryan will not be able to maintain a fully charged state in every game during the long season.
The huge pressure seems to make the Nuggets look timid.
It's okay to only lose in an away game this time, but what if this happens at home next time?
Of course, in the long season, the terrible things don't stop there.
After losing to the Hawks, the Nuggets took the Trail Blazers step by step in the next game, but lost in their third consecutive away game against the Suns.
In fact, the Nuggets have always had the advantage in this game.
But in the fourth quarter, the entire Suns team suddenly exploded with a three-pointer. Suddenly, they reversed the game and successfully won.
This defeat boosted the morale of the Suns and made the entire Phoenix party celebrate as if they had won the championship.
Because Suns fans have always believed that if the team hadn't been dirty by the Spurs last season, they should have won the championship!
Phoenix fans have always believed that if the Suns had surpassed the Spurs last season, defeating the Nuggets would not be a problem.
They feel like their championship was stolen!
And this time, their suspicions became a reality.
Although they only won by 5 points, it at least proved that the Suns could still defeat the Nuggets!
Phoenix City is happy to mention a "what if. championship"!
Ryan also admitted after the game: "The Suns' last-minute three-pointers stole the victory. Against this kind of team, we should remain 100% vigilant for 48 minutes."
Although in the last game of four consecutive away games, the Nuggets successfully defeated Garnett's Timberwolves.
But the results of 2 wins and 2 losses in four away games seem to remind everyone that the Nuggets are not invincible. The next loss may be at home. Denver fans should be mentally prepared!
Poor form and a late reversal reminded Denver fans of the hardships of a long season.
It is indeed too difficult to be 100% guaranteed to win all the home games. In a game, anything can happen.
But after returning home, the Nuggets once again won consecutive games!
They won big victories against the Celtics and SuperSonics respectively. The most important thing was that in the second home game against the Suns, the Nuggets immediately completed their revenge!
In this game, Ryan scored 36 points. But this is not an exaggeration. What is exaggerated is that AK47 Kirilenko hit a career-high 10 blocks in a single game in one breath!
Looking at the historical record data table, you will find that there are actually quite a few people who can send out 10 blocks in a single game.
Olajuwon even blocked 10 shots in a single game 11 times, which is simply abnormal.
Moreover, even little transparent guys like Calvin Booth and Charles Jones, who you don't even know who they are, have blocked 10 shots in a single game.
But what's special about Kirilenko is that he is the only outside player among all these players to have 10 blocks in a single game!
At the critical moment of today's game, Kirilenko went crazy.
He may not be as explosive in scoring, but he is extremely explosive in blocking shots, destroying several of the Suns' sure-to-win offenses.
For example, in the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, Marion shot a three-pointer without any defense, but Kirilenko was driven out of the penalty area and bled directly.
Another example is that in the seventh minute of the fourth quarter, Diaw broke through Nene and then relied on the defensive double-handed turkey for a misplaced layup. However, Kirilenko ran directly back to the penalty area from outside the three-point line, and rewarded the Frenchman with a volleyball, telling him to go back and make a cup of cappuccino.
As a result, the Suns players behind were a little weak, and they were afraid that Kirilenko would suddenly appear when they took action.
Kirilenko's face was originally very ferocious, but when he suddenly jumped out to block a shot, it was really scary!
In the end, the Nuggets withstood the pressure of counterattack and beat the Suns by 4 points. In the entire fourth quarter, Kirilenko blocked 4 shots in a single quarter.
In other words, without these blocks from AK, the Suns will most likely win again.
But there are no ifs in this world. Ryan's 36 points + Kirilenko's career-high 10 blocks directly defeated the Suns' "what if championship"!
After the game, D'Antoni also sighed: "My players simply lined up to give Kirilenko a risk!"
The Nuggets were reversed against the Suns on the road before, but they were able to take the lead and get revenge immediately after returning home.
Facts have proved that "winning at home" has not become a pressure for the Nuggets, but has become a motivation for the Nuggets.
Because when everyone is at home, they can always perform at 100%.
If nothing else, Kirilenko has a particularly strong desire to win at home this season. When it comes to being undefeated at home, Kirilenko is always more excited than Ryan.
Today's 10 blocks in a single game is an example. Kirilenko in the fourth quarter, in Bird's words:
"He was like a tiger that had been hungry for three days and three nights, hunting basketballs that came into his sight bloody and brutally."
Kirilenko is just a typical representative. Most of the Nuggets players can indeed perform better at home.
In the next two games, the Nuggets defeated the Kings away from home, and then returned to home to defeat the Heat on Christmas Day.
So far, the Nuggets have won six consecutive games after losing to the Suns, and their record is fixed at 20 wins and 5 losses!
Moreover, it has reached 15 consecutive home games!
Ryan was extremely excited. With five more home wins, he would be able to earn a second wave of cash!
Ryan benefited a lot from McGrady's pull-up talent last time. God knows how the next reward will help Ryan grow.
After defeating the Heat, everyone in the Nuggets was very happy, and Ryan was naturally in a good mood.
Not to mention that after returning home, Daddario made a table full of Christmas dinner waiting for Ryan.
Although Ryan was very tired after just finishing the Christmas battle, for this meal and to thank Daddario for his kindness, Ryan still worked hard to work overtime at night, so that Daddario also had an unforgettable Christmas. night.
And when Ryan and Daddario spent a merry Christmas together and enjoyed a happy life of sex.
Stern almost cried on the bed!
Originally, Stern arranged for the Nuggets and Heat to play a Christmas Day game because he wanted to create a finals grudge match. There would be a lot of traffic and a lot of money would be made.
Who knew that the Heat would fall faster than Wade's breakthrough this season?
Last season, the Heat were still competing for the championship, but this season, if they are not careful, they may have to study the lottery draft!
There is no way, the injuries of O'Neal and Wade, and the conflicts within the team have greatly reduced the Heat's strength.
How chaotic are the Heat right now? Even the "confessions" within the team are not correct.
While Haslem said that we can't lose arbitrarily just because someone on the team is injured, Riley said, "It's because too many people are injured that we lose." Even this kind of confession can't be unified. It's no wonder the Heat are so powerful.
With the Heat so weak, the ratings for this year's Christmas game have naturally plummeted.
It's not that Ryan's box office appeal has become worse, but it's really not worth watching for the Nuggets to play a Heat without O'Neal or Wade.
This is also true. The Nuggets won today's Christmas game by 27 points. After three quarters, Ryan was chatting and laughing with Bird on the sidelines, exchanging tips and tricks.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the most beautiful scene is actually the beautiful fans in black stockings on the sidelines. Can you believe it?
Seeing this traffic war being wasted, Stern felt that he had simply lost 100 million, and it was strange that he could sleep at all.
He doesn't feel comfortable if he doesn't drain the wallets of fans and sponsors for a day!
But soon, Stern thought of a way to make amends.
He quickly opened the matchup list for this season, and sure enough, the Nuggets' opponent in the next game was them!
With a little more publicity, coupled with their strength this season.
Well, the Christmas holidays aren’t over yet anyway. So, let’s give the fans a serious Christmas fight!
So the next day, fans all over the world discovered that the TV was all previewing the Nuggets VS Bulls game at home on December 27.
Fans are confused. Is there anything interesting about this game? Why is there so much publicity?
Chicago Bulls?
Since Jordan retired, have the Bulls had any serious stars?
However, that night, both ESPN and TNT talked about the Bulls.
As a result, I don’t know if I don’t talk about it, but I will be shocked when I talk about it.
The Bulls' performance this season really surprised fans.
First of all, the Bulls are ranked third in the Eastern Conference so far this season!
Secondly, the Bulls' third-year guard, Ben Gordon, whose name is just one word short of being arrested and shot, has performed very well during this period. It's just because the Bulls didn't get much attention before, so his explosion was not known to the public. .
At the end of November, Ben Gordon made 11 of 17 shots and 17 of 19 free throws against the Heat, scoring 40 points and breaking his career scoring record!
But this record was broken just a few days later. A few days later, in an away game against the Spurs, Gordon made 13 of 25 shots and 13 of 14 free throws to score 41 points. He beat Popovich to the point of scolding him and set a new record again!
In mid-December, facing the Warriors, Gordon made 9 of 9 shots from beyond the three-point line!
This directly tied the Madman's record of three-pointers and severely humiliated Arenas, another ruthless man who showed off his power before the game.
Because in the end, Gordon used a decisive blow to kill Arenas, the king of big hearts!
Then in the game a few days ago, against the Bucks, Gordon was full of firepower and staged a scoring battle with Reid.
In the end, he made 18 of 32 shots and scored another career-high 48 points.
Reed on the opposite side scored 52 points without any inferiority, or it can also be said that Gordon forced out the strongest Reed.
But in the end Gordon still used a key layup to help the team win in overtime!
In less than a month, Gordon scored 40+ points in a row and had two consecutive buzzers.
He has even scored 40+ times this season than Ryan!
Under his leadership, the Bulls' record is not far behind the Cavaliers and Pistons.
Gordon's scoring methods are quite comprehensive, and he is a top-notch shooter. Once started, the firepower is comparable to that of a superstar, and it is impossible to hold it down.
So who can guarantee that he will not smoke at the next Pepsi Center?
After all, Gordon's convulsions rate this month is quite high.
Moreover, this is the Chicago Bulls!
If the Chicago Bulls break the Nuggets' home unbeaten streak and fulfill Jordan's prediction, it will be extremely dramatic!
Under the vigorous promotion of some mysterious force, the Bulls VS Nuggets game really began to attract attention.
Some fans have said that this is the real Christmas game for the Nuggets!
Ben Gordon is also very excited about this, after all, he has never received so much attention.
And as a Jordan fan, as a guy who shouted "to become Chicago's next Jordan" when he first entered the league, he naturally wanted to help his idol fulfill his prophecy.
“I know a lot of people don’t think highly of us, but we’ve won so many seemingly impossible games along the way this season.
The Nuggets have also lost to five teams this season, and they are not invincible.
Someone's going to beat the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center, why can't it be me?
The Chicago Bulls will personally break the curse of the Pepsi Center! "
This British defender, who is completely unable to hold back once he gets started, is ready to unleash a modern version of the "Blitzkrieg Marmacino"!
The seemingly impenetrable line of defense will eventually be destroyed!
Understand that it is normal for Ben Gordon, who has rarely received so much attention, to be so excited and talk so excitedly.
In addition, Gordon and Jordan do have a good relationship, and they worship him too much, to the point where they actively flatter him.
Because when he first arrived in Chicago, Juanita, the former gang leader's wife who had not yet divorced Jordan, personally found a place for the Bulls rookie. Jordan also gave Gordon his phone number and told him to contact him at any time if he needed anything. connect.
Their help has always been in Gordon's heart.
Therefore, Gordon also wanted to repay Jordan by defeating the Nuggets.
My godfather, Danzi, is responsible for pretending to beep, and I, the adopted son, am responsible for making the godfather’s words of pretending to beep come true!
After receiving heavy publicity from the media, reporters also asked Ryan what he thought of Gordon after training the day before the game.
But Ryan only raised his head and said domineeringly to this Jordan fan who had just gained some attention and didn't know his last name:
"Who the hell is Ben Gordon?
Hehe, it sounds like you guys are talking about Jordan making a comeback with the Bulls.
Chicago Bulls break Pepsi Center's unbeaten record?
You ask that guy named Gordon to come to me.
I also want to let him know with my own hands - what you say here is useless!
Whether Denver is a mess or not is up to me. "
