Chapter 146: The Denver Track and Field Team is participating! Ah Zhan can’t boomerang even this, ca
Before Stern even started to show his strength, the script of the finals was made extremely lively by everyone.
First, all media outlets unanimously believed that the Nuggets would win the championship.
It’s Mike Mainin who writes short compositions with rhythm again.
Then came the war of words between Barkley and James.
And at the end, Ryan's sentence "The old chief has no plans to retire yet" pushed the conflict to a climax.
All these quarrels have all basketball fans paying attention to the 2007 Finals.
Everyone wants to see whether a new police chief will take office this year or whether the old police chief will continue to enforce the law!
James really didn't pretend to be rational this time, because he really needed this championship.
As Barkley said, it is also a four-year career, but Ryan has already surpassed James in personal honors so much that the taillights of James' car can no longer be seen.
If James is still chasing Ryan in the AE86, then Ryan is already driving the Mercedes-Benz with one hand and touching Natsuki's leg with the other!
If he doesn't catch up, James won't even be qualified to touch Ryan in the future!
The finals are also an opportunity for James to take a shortcut.
Don't worry about the personal honor difference between him and Ryan, as long as he can defeat Ryan in the finals, he can overtake in corners!
Therefore, James is too lazy to have a friendly personality.
He just wants to tell everyone that I am here to compete for the championship!
So when the Cavaliers entered the court, James deliberately talked to Daniel Gibson next to him in the tunnel. This guy scored a game-high 31 points in G6 of the Eastern Conference Finals and was deeply loved by James.
Gibson first deliberately asked James: "LeBron, the Nuggets defeated the Suns by 41 points before, setting a record for the largest point difference in this year's playoffs. How did they do it?"
James smiled and replied:
“I don’t know how, I don’t understand why such a big score would appear in the playoffs.
But if we meet a group of people who are not defensive, the score difference may be as big as that. "
The conversation between James and Gibson was very loud, deliberately for the media to hear.
It's very similar to the scene in 2011 when James and Wade deliberately mocked Dirk for having a fever when they entered the stadium.
Ajan and Gibson are just reminding everyone in a weird way that the Cavaliers are different from those soft beeping teams in the West!
Is it bad for the Nuggets to win against a team without defense?
Is it bad to win against a team whose star star is useless?
Our record is indeed not that gorgeous, but we still have 58 wins! And it also has a tough defense that neither the Suns nor the Mavericks have!
It's time for Ryan to feel how scary the Eastern Conference team is!
James is quite confident because the Cavaliers and Nuggets tied 1-1 during the regular season.
The only game they lost was because Ryan hit 8 three-pointers in a single quarter.
The new season had just begun at that time, and the Cavaliers did not pay enough attention to Ryan's three-pointer and suffered a big loss.
In addition, Ryan's touch was just right and very good that day, so 8 three-pointers in a single quarter took away the game.
But the second time they met in the regular season, when the Cavaliers no longer let Ryan shoot three-pointers, and when Ryan's three-point touch was no longer so magical, didn't the Nuggets also lose?
Besides, in the last round against the Mavericks, Ryan's scoring was severely limited in the face of the Mavericks' flanking strategy.
The Mavericks guarded Ryan like that, can the Cavaliers still guard him?
The Cavaliers have none of the shortcomings of the Mavericks and Suns.
The Cavaliers also have advantages that neither the Mavericks nor the Suns have!
Coupled with the previous 25-point god-level performance in the Eastern Conference Finals, these all made James feel that it was time for him to become a god!
If we can counterattack and win the championship this year, the gold content will probably be higher than the dream of "never underestimate the heart of a champion"!
James is gearing up, my time has come!
While Ryan was changing clothes in the locker room, he also saw the conversation between James and Gibson on TV.
Kirilenko couldn’t bear it:
"Damn it, how come we beat the 59-win team and the 67-win team, but when it comes out of his mouth, it seems like we took advantage of something?"
Ryan took a deep breath while putting on his socks.
Try not to get too angry.
He later said that he was carried into the finals by his teammates.
After a while, he said that playing against a team with poor defense is not a skill.
That is to say, Ryan is of high quality, otherwise he would have been at odds with James online.
But it doesn't matter, after a few games, Cleveland will be left with nothing but shame!
But the next few games will be very hard.
For this reason, Ryan asked Daddario not to come to him for the time being.
Ryan can't waste any energy elsewhere now, not even if Daddario moves by himself!
Because the strategy of the finals is very, very tiring.
But as long as he can defeat Ajan and not touch Daddario for a while, Ryan can still endure the pain.
I can’t understand why such a big score appears in the playoffs?
It’s okay, it won’t be long before you can understand it deeply!
At this time Bird walked into the locker room and clapped his hands:
"Okay guys, the enemy is already approaching the city. Go on the field and defend our home court and our championship!"
Players from both sides quickly entered the stadium. Mike Breen sat in the commentary box and wore an oxygen mask.
The air in Denver is already thin, and the roar from the fans makes it even more breathless.
If he doesn't take a few breaths of oxygen now, Mike Brin is really afraid that he will faint later.
James and Ryan stood in their own half and looked at each other, without saying hello or hugging. There was no expression on their faces, and they both stared at each other with cold eyes, as if they wanted to overwhelm the other in terms of momentum.
Since the beginning of this season, James has basically stopped pretending to be friendly.
He just regarded Ryan as his most hated enemy.
The staff around him were busy debugging various equipment, and the on-site speakers played inspiring music loudly.
All this indicates that a war is about to begin.
Mike Brin's voice also appeared in the living rooms of thousands of households at this time:
“The king of the NBA Finals meets the king again!
LeBron and Ryan, the two most outstanding young people in the 2003 class, met in the finals after only four years in the league!
Let's see if the little emperor can snatch the crown from the lion king's head!
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the NBA Finals! "
Swift lay on the bed, staring at the TV screen.
She sent Ryan a cheering text message before the game, but Ryan didn't reply.
I wonder if Ryan is too nervous?
I hope he doesn't perform poorly due to nervousness.
The starting lineups of both sides are in place. The Cavaliers still sent out the regular starting lineup of Hughes, James, Pavlovic, Big Ben and Big Z.
As for the Nuggets, the starting lineup has become Miller, Ellis, Ryan, Kirilenko and Nene.
This year, the Nuggets basically have two sets of starting lineups, with and without Webber.
Although there is only one person difference, the styles of the two sets of starters are quite different.
The absence of Webber indicates that the Nuggets want to play fast.
Cavaliers coach Mike Brown smiled contemptuously. As a result, the Nuggets' interior height was completely insufficient.
Nene is less than 2.10 meters tall, and Kirilenko is not even an insider.
After all, Weber has the height and tonnage of a serious center and can curb James' attacks.
But Nene and Kirilenko?
They can deal with birds, but they can't deal with tanks like James!
Only a strong man can control a tank-type player!
As for fast-paced counterattack, Mike Brown admitted that this is a good way to deal with the Cavaliers.
Because if they grind down their position, the Nuggets have no chance of winning.
But how can a counterattack be so easy?
If the Nuggets allow most of their players to participate in counterattacks, they will not be able to grab the rebounds from the Cavaliers.
By then, the Cavaliers will surely get a lot of second attack opportunities!
Brown doesn't think the Nuggets' lineup will have any effect.
The game started quickly. Although Ben was on the back foot, he still got the ball first because of his high jump.
James got the basketball and launched the first wave of offense.
The first attack must be fierce, handsome, and able to boost morale.
The last attack may be passed, but the first attack must let the opponent see who has the final say in this game!
James knows that his confrontation this season is no worse than Ryan's, so he is ready to surprise Ryan and play more vigorously.
As long as he can successfully penetrate the inside line, Nene's inside line is not enough for James to fill his teeth.
But after James held the ball beyond the three-point line, he was stunned because of his extremely high golf quotient.
Wait a minute the Nuggets are here
No one is guarding me! ?
James looked at the open space in front of him, and the CPU was completely scrapped.
Of course, the Nuggets are not without anyone to guard James, but Ryan, who is responsible for guarding James, is a little far away from James.
James was outside the three-point line, but Ryan had retreated to the free throw line.
On-site commentator Mike Breen also looked confused. No, the Nuggets are just guarding O'Neal!
This defense somewhat disrespects James' long-range shooting.
Although Ajan's 31% three-point shooting percentage this season has indeed not reached the most basic passing line of 33%.
But at least he has some three-point ability.
Is it too much for the Nuggets to be so defensive?
But James soon discovered that Ryan was not the only one shrinking.
The entire Nuggets team shrunk directly to the area near the three-second zone!
This is so 90's style!
That's right, Bird's strategy is to completely give up on shots and not on surprises!
Not only release James, but also the rest of the Cavaliers!
Ryan is very sure of this strategy. After all, this is how the 2007 Spurs defended in the original history. Bowen really retreated directly to the free throw line to defend James!
As for the other Cavaliers players, there is nothing to fear.
Although the Cavaliers rank 15th in the league in three-pointers made this year, more than half the teams.
But in this era of weak three-pointers, the league's 15th ranked three-pointer averages only 6 hits per game.
For comparison, 10 years later in the 16-17 season, the Timberwolves, which ranked last in the league in three-pointers, averaged 7.3 per game.
To put it bluntly, the Cavaliers simply do not have the ability to break the game with three points.
In this era, perhaps only the top three teams in three-point shooting actually use three-pointers as a regular tactic.
The first three and the following are actually at about the same level.
If Pavlovich and Larry Hughes can kill the Nuggets with three-pointers, then Ryan will be convinced of the loss.
James looked at the dark group of people in front of him and swallowed.
Who the hell are you looking down on!
I'm a man who hit 99 three-pointers in a single season!
James decisively took a long shot, preparing to punish the Nuggets' defense.
Ryan went up and interfered ceremonially, more to put some psychological pressure on James, but in fact it had little interference effect.
However, faced with this great opportunity.
James' three-pointer hit the back edge of the basket and bounced out!
Ryan smiled. Historically, in the 2007 Finals, the Spurs also let James take a long shot.
So Ajan averaged 5 crazy three-point shots per game, and finally killed the finals with a 20% three-point shooting rate!
The basketball rebounded, and Big Ben and Big Z tried hard to grab offensive rebounds.
But Kirilenko and Nene were not in a hurry and stuck to their positions.
In the end, Nene used the bounce to grab the rebound over Big Z's head.
After getting the rebound, Nene quickly handed the ball to the double-handed turkey.
The double-handed turkey took two steps, and before half-time was over, he threw the ball into the air with both hands!
Only then did people realize that Ryan had already rushed into the penalty area, jumped high, caught the basketball in the air and then dunked with both hands to score!
In the blink of an eye, the Nuggets have completed their counterattack!
After succeeding in the dunk, Ryan slapped the backboard angrily, then let go and fell to the ground. He looked at James behind him and let out a lion's roar:
"You'll be a deputy sheriff until I retire, LeBlanc!"
The fans at the scene cheered and cheered. There was such a powerful alley-oop at the beginning, and Ryan roared domineeringly.
It’s so exciting!
Swift's hair stood up immediately when she saw this domineering scene.
But soon it was very sad.
Ryan doesn't look nervous, so why doesn't he reply to my message?
He. He was probably taking a shower and didn't see it.
Well, that’s definitely the case!
After the game is over, I will send him another message!
Don't ask why Swift thinks someone will take a shower before the game starts. Anyway, when you like someone, what your brain is best at is lying to yourself.
Even if Goddess You spent the night dancing with the second-generation classmate next door, your brain will lie to you and say that she just went to drink iced black tea one night.
At the game, James was very angry.
The local gang is so rude!
Then guard against me. If I still can't make a shot, have you considered my feelings?
In the second round, the Nuggets still put up an extremely extreme iron barrel formation.
James used his skills and smart vision to pass the ball to Pavlovich in the corner.
Pavlovic made a decisive jump shot, but facing Miller who rushed forward, the white shooter was a little nervous.
Then
"Strike again! The Cavaliers missed another three-pointer!
Nene clicked on the rebound but didn't grab it.
But Kirilenko finally caught the rebound, and he passed the ball to Ryan, and the Nuggets counterattacked again!
LeBron chased after Ryan, and the two jumped up at the same time. James was as tall as Ryan!
Pull-up dunk! Ryan, who looked like a long eye in the back of his head, used a lever action to avoid James' pursuit and successfully dunked!
4-0, the Nuggets' counterattack was too sharp and unstoppable!
As long as the Cavaliers miss the shot, the Nuggets have a chance to counterattack!
And with Ryan as an arrow, the Nuggets' success rate in counterattacking is extremely high!
Today, they are simply the Denver Track and Field Team! "
Bird watched Ryan easily score two goals in a row and calmly went to the bench.
The league's No. 1 defense is finished!
The Cavaliers' defense is indeed the best in the league. In the original history, even Duncan was very, very uncomfortable being defended by the Cavaliers.
In that series, Duncan only scored 18 points on 44.6% shooting.
If this was an outside line, there would be no problem.
As the core of the inside, his shooting rate is less than 50% and his score is less than 20, which is indeed a bit disappointing.
In the end, the Spurs won because Duncan restrained the Cavaliers' defense and then gave Parker the power to take over the game, giving Parker a chance.
Parker did not disappoint, winning the FMVP and leading the team to end the game 4-0.
This is Duncan. If it were another star who found himself being blocked in the finals, but his teammates might want to win the FMVP, something might happen.
An idiot like Duncan deserves to have his FMVP numbers suppressed.
But at least it turns out that the Cavaliers are not useless. They did defend Duncan in the positional battle.
As for the Nuggets, they don't have an insider of Duncan's level to contain the defense.
When the inside cannot contain the defense, it is naturally impossible for the outside to perform like Parker.
You can imagine the feeling of James, Big Ben and Big Z all staring at Ryan eagerly.
Even Ryan will struggle offensively.
To put it bluntly, Bird also admitted that he might not be able to defeat the Cavaliers if they battle it out!
Therefore, Bird's strategy is to greatly reduce positional battles and shooting, directly simplify the team's tactics, and constantly attack the opponent's basket for fast break counterattacks!
Just don't give the heavily armored knights a chance to defend their position!
To achieve this goal, it is necessary to force the Cavaliers to keep shooting.
As long as the opponent strikes, the Nuggets have a chance to counterattack!
With the Nuggets' ball-playing ability and athletic ability, there is no problem at all in counterattacking!
Because of this, Ryan did not dare to waste his energy.
Because throughout this series, he has to rush into the opponent's penalty area crazily again and again, and can't rush to other places!
Now, Bird is directly conspiring with Mike Brown.
I will make it clear that I will shoot you a three-pointer. If you dare, shoot me to death. Otherwise, you can rush into the crowd with the explosive bag.
How you want to strike, it’s up to you!
James glanced at Mike Brown, as if to say: "Brother, it tastes wrong! Think of a way!"
But what can Mike Brown do? His offensive tactics are less updated than those of the online article author.
James once again held the ball to attack. The game had just begun, but he was already beaten and frowning.
Ryan's roar just now made him very unhappy, and James also knew that he had to score.
He was so arrogant before the game. If he didn't score again, he would be ashamed.
Ajan took a deep breath, looked at the Nuggets players who had shrunk into the penalty area in front of him, and decided
Attack the basket!
I have to admire James' courage, at least he is really tough in this regard.
It's better than failing to make a shot and just floating outside.
But even James, even if his impact is at the forefront of history, it is impossible to successfully attack the frame under such extreme contraction!
As soon as James stepped into the penalty area, he was stuck by Ryan.
At the same time, all the surrounding Nuggets players shrank, and James couldn't even see where the frame was.
But he still leaned on Ryan and tried to get up for a layup.
I have to admit that James' ability to lay up in confrontations is much better than Ryan's at this stage. Relying on Ryan to gain strength is a way for Ajan.
But!
Ryan didn't give James a chance to make a layup at all!
In the air, Ryan slapped the basketball!
With almost the same athletic ability and confrontation ability, it is simply impossible for James to force a layup directly!
James' brave sprint ended in a personal defeat!
Ryan directly pushed James to the ground with the ball!
The basketball was picked up by Ellis, who immediately counterattacked.
Ryan looked at James condescendingly, raised his arms and showed off his muscles to this guy who was extremely confident in his body:
"You're not much better than Dirk, LeBron! As for defense, it's even worse than Phoenix! Come on, I don't want the point difference to widen too quickly.
Otherwise, others should question the value of my second crown! "
As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Ellis had already counterattacked with a 360° turn and layup.
Once again, the iron barrel formation forced the iron to strike, and the counterattack was a successful operation to gain points.
Facts have proved that the Cavaliers had no chance of attacking the basket.
They have to rely heavily on shooting to score today.
But what about the Cavaliers' shooting?
It can be expected that the Cavaliers' scoring today will be limited very, very low.
Thinking of this, Bird curled his lips. What was James saying so weirdly before the game?
Don’t understand why there is such a big point difference in the playoffs?
Wait, this guy can't even throw a boomerang, can he?
The second update is here, with 10,000 words updated for 48 consecutive days! Diligent old man, please kneel down and beg for your monthly ticket! Thank you stepfathers!
