Chapter 160: The team that the entire league doesn’t want to encounter, Ryan’s calm before the storm

The announcement of the Nuggets' first "No. 1 Hardcore" belt aroused heated discussion in the media.

Everyone has never seen a team select the best player in a single game and give out prizes.

The domineering and handsome photo of Ben carrying his belt also appeared in the news on major sports portals.

Although everyone knows that this is not a formal honor, under the hype of the media, "who will be the most ruthless person in the next game" has really become a hot topic.

As a result, there have been many praises about Daben on the Internet:

"The real No. 1 ruthless player. Ben's performance in the last game was really good. It can be said that he is the key to sealing McGrady. There are people who don't know how to use such a good defensive player. It's so funny!

Why do you want to marry me? I'm talking about Mike Brown! "

"Gold always shines. Ben was depressed in Cleveland because people in Cleveland didn't know what to buy!"

“When you awarded this award to Ben, did you consider James’s feelings!?

People still dislike Ben on the front foot, but you say he is the best player on the back foot.

Let Ajan go, he can no longer be more like a clown! "

"What are you scolding? Although James is fully responsible, he is exempt from compensation! All compensation will be borne by Mike Brown. We suggest that the Cavaliers change coaches directly!"

James is convinced, no, why can’t I be found under all the recent hot basketball news?

I'm not a coin-operated car, so why would anyone want to drive it?

There is no way, the Grameen media had been too harsh in belittling Da Ben.

As a result, after sending away Da Ben, some people revealed their true colors.

But what makes James even more distressed is that the Nuggets really went on a winning streak after that!

Artest was undoubtedly even more jealous when he saw that Big Ben could get so much traffic with such a broken belt.

He also decided to get the belt in glory and accept the praise and worship of others!

So, before the next game even started, Artest expressed his determination on the training ground.

After training today, for the first time, Ben stayed and practiced shooting!

Although Artest is not the kind of player who likes to miss training, he is definitely not a gym rat.

So Ryan was quite surprised when he saw that he actually stayed for extra training, and couldn't help but joke:

"What? My wife won't let you go home and lock you out again, right?"

"Ryan, what you said is true, can't I seek progress?

Besides, how could she lock me out?

When I cough at home, she doesn't even dare to say a word!

I'm not bragging, as my younger brother in the family, I'm the only one who can lock her out! "

Ryan shook his head, Tai, you can lie to your friends, but don’t lie to yourself!

Although Artest still looks unserious, he did complete the several sets of long-range shooting training today very seriously.

In the last game, he missed the belt because he failed to score a goal from beyond the three-point line.

So he will never let something like 0 for 3 from beyond the arc happen again in the future.

Artest's efforts really paid off, because in the game against the Spurs the next day, Artest hit a fatal three-pointer at the critical moment in the position where he practiced the most!

The Spurs' lineup has not changed much this season, but it is obvious that without Webber and AK, Ryan's offensive difficulty will increase a lot.

As for defense, it is impossible for Ryan to repeat the drama of "one person defends and kills three GDPs" every game.

Ginobili shined today, because Ryan had to worry about Parker, so Artest had to guard Ginobili.

But Artest had a hard time dealing with this kind of flexible matchup with weird movements.

You can't say Artest is not good at defense, he just has the type to restrain himself.

Just like a toothpick is a sharp tool when used to pick teeth, but it won't work if you use it to stir a big vat.

Artest is that toothpick!

The unfathomable demon sword cannot be disturbed!

Ginobili's breakthrough was like playing Artest like a monkey, so that later Bird had to let Ryan guard the demon knife and Artest guard Parker.

But Artest's main focus today is to score whoever he defends.

Parker, who is fast and good at using screens to break through, is also not Artest's type who is good at defense.

If this were the finals, Parker would swipe an FMVP on Artest's head.

Whoever is responsible for guarding will explode. Bird touched his chin. Have I seen this kind of player in Cleveland?

Thanks to Artest's efforts, the Spurs have been playing very anxiously with the Nuggets.

Until the last 47 seconds of the game, the Spurs still led by 2 points.

At this time, Ryan broke through to the mid-range position, but was blocked by Duncan's help.

Parker and Finlay also stepped in, and Ryan was caught in a three-person double-team!

Although the clamp was very tight, Ryan held it in and did not ejaculate casually.

Surrounded by three people, he calmly hit the ball to Artest who was left empty!

The Spurs certainly know how good Ryan's passing vision is. Since the third grade, Ryan has been able to steadily find his teammates in the double-team.

But the Spurs deliberately let Artest short on this goal!

At the critical moment, Ryan's murderous singles and Artest's unreliable three-pointers, any fool knows what to choose!

In addition, Artest was extremely poor on the defensive end today, so everyone felt that he either did not dare to shoot or could not shoot accurately.

As a result, Artest's mentality today is extremely stable. The moment he got the basketball, he took action directly, without any manipulation or sloppiness!

Take responsibility bravely!

Artest's shooting movement is a bit stiff, and the flight arc doesn't look like he can go in.

But basketball is like an arrow that shoots through ten rings and hits the red heart!

This goal gave the Nuggets a 1-point lead in the last 40 seconds!

Artest raised his arms high and looked at Ben with authority:

"Basketball is a game of putting the ball in the basket, afro!"

Artest's key goal left the Spurs team in despair.

To be honest, it would be fine if Ryan made the shot just now.

Was he killed by Artest?

The Spurs simply cannot accept it!

Artest, who has been stretching his hips the whole game, why is he so accurate at critical moments? ?

There's no reason, maybe it's because his training last night really improved his hand feel?

Maybe it's because Ben knew that he was too defensive today, so he had to make a difference on the offensive end?

In short, that magical belt is still functioning!

The Spurs immediately paused, and Ryan rushed up to touch Artest's head and hugged him.

Although this is not a countdown, it is undoubtedly the kind of goal that can change the result!

One round later, Ginobili barely passed the ball in the crowd and was intercepted by Ryan.

Ryan quickly counterattacked after getting the ball, opening the point difference to 3 points.

In the end, the game ended with a 3-point difference!

In this game, the ultimate cause of death for the Spurs was Ginobili's breakthrough pass error.

But everyone who has watched the game knows that Artest's three-pointer that made the final decision is equally important!

So in the locker room after the game, Bird also announced:

"Today's No. 1 ruthless belt belongs to Ron!"

Amid the applause of his teammates, Artest excitedly took the belt from Bird and shrugged at Ben.

"Thank you guys for your recognition. Now, I am the one to defend the belt! If you are qualified, take it from me!"

Artest is indeed worthy of this belt today, because in addition to the last three-pointer, Artest also scored a total of 20 points today.

This is the best offensive point in this game besides Ryan.

It seems that the reward system of this golden belt is really effective.

So at the subsequent press conference, when a reporter asked Ryan the question, "Are you really sure that no team in the league wants to meet you this season?"

Ryan nodded firmly:

"Of course, no matter how strong the team is, even the Big Three of the Celtics will not want to encounter us!"

Ryan directly named the Celtics this time, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among some Boston fans and media.

Even Garnett personally went offline to respond:

"No one will be afraid of a team that lost by 14 points! In fact, no team in the league is afraid of the Nuggets!

We are the most feared team in the league! "

Garnett is not giving Ryan any face this season. He is determined to avenge the black eight in a beautiful way.

However, Ryan is not the kind of person who can only talk and escape.

After defeating the Spurs, people discovered that the Nuggets seemed to really scare the entire league!

Against the Timberwolves on November 7, the Nuggets directly scored a score of 97-74.

Against the Wizards on November 9, the Nuggets lost 89 to 72.

Against Bird's old team, the Pacers, on November 10, Artest directly defended Granger, hitting 6 of 18.

In the end, the Nuggets, as expected, won the game 93-78.

Against the Trail Blazers on November 12, the Trail Blazers team was even more suppressed, shooting only 39% from the field. 87 to 78, the Nuggets win again!

At this point, the Nuggets have won a wave of 7 consecutive victories since losing the opening game!

And in the last 4 games, the Nuggets have not allowed their opponents to score 80 points!

This is mainly because Artest and Ben's defensive enthusiasm is indeed too strong. In order not to fall behind in the selection of the No. 1 ruthless belt, these two tried their best on the defensive end.

Created the most terrifying defensive line combination in the league!

Barkley even joked: "Even if Jordan's Bulls come, they can still score 70 points against the Nuggets!"

ESPN didn't mind it and organized an anonymous vote.

Let some players vote for "the team they least want to meet this season."

After the voting results are out.

The Nuggets really rank first!

There is no way, the recent seven-game winning streak has really cast a psychological shadow on the entire league.

Even if they lose, they will often lose ugly when meeting the Nuggets.

No star can escape the showdown with the Nuggets.

Either the shooting percentage is too low, or he is prevented from scoring a few points at all.

This year, the Nuggets' game has such a characteristic-their own scoring may not be high, but the opponent's scoring is definitely low!

No, in the last four games, the Nuggets have not even allowed their opponents to score 80 points in four consecutive games!

The Nuggets' defense this season is simply terrifying!

Moreover, AK47 is not reimbursed for the season, he will come back!

How will the Nuggets' defense change after AK returns?

No one dared to think so.

Right now, the Nuggets' defense is scary enough.

This is mainly due to the efforts of Artest and Ben. Who would have thought that the two of them worked so hard on the defensive end just because they were competing for a gold belt?

Although the Nuggets lost to the Warriors on November 14, they suffered their first loss after Ben and Artest joined the team.

But in the next two games, the Nuggets defeated the Knicks and Bulls one after another.

And what has become even more serious in these two games is.

The Nuggets didn't let anyone score 70!

The Bulls only scored 68 points against the Nuggets, and the Knicks were beaten to only 62 points!

People can't believe that this is the score that can be achieved in the NO Handcheck era!

So far, the Nuggets have started with a record of 9 wins and 2 losses.

And so far this season, the Nuggets' defensive efficiency ranks first in the league!

Ryan once again fulfilled his promise. The current Nuggets are definitely an existence that the entire league must avoid!

In Cleveland, James is also under increasing pressure from public opinion.

It may be luck that Ryan won a game with a big budget, but starting with 9 wins and 2 losses with a big budget, this is strength!

Reporters also asked Ryan bluntly: "With the same teammates, why is your record better than LeBron's?"

Ryan smiled contemptuously: "Can you blame basketball for the inaccurate shooting?"

At this time, let alone James, the Cavaliers management was already furious!

They were thinking that the big book they gave away was thought to be useless.

Wouldn't it just be a divine assist for the Nuggets to achieve their goal of three consecutive championships? ?

Do I take the initiative to help my opponent win three consecutive championships?

What a cerebral palsy deal!

James was speechless. He could only tell reporters:

"You know, Ben Wallace is an extremely good player.

I didn't blame him in last season's finals. Maybe it was a tactical issue. "

Mike Brown:? ? ?

The emperor was wronged!

It's too late for the Cavaliers and James to regret it now. The fact is that this new Nuggets with big money do have the top strength in the league.

Although the Nuggets' recent record and ESPN's anonymous voting have proven that the Nuggets are indeed a team that no one wants to encounter this season.

But no matter how good the Nuggets' current record is, there will always be tough-talking people in this world.

Chris Paul is one of them.

In the next game, the Nuggets will visit New Orleans.

Of course, not to eat grilled wings, but to continue to reap victory.

However, Queen Bee Paul seems a little impatient for this.

When Paul was interviewed after training the day before the game, he dropped his harsh words:

"Shit, the whole league is afraid of the Nuggets, but I'm not afraid.

The Nuggets have won five of their past six games, holding opponents above 70 points in four games and 80 points twice.

It sounds amazing.

But another statistic is that in these six games, they only played one playoff-level team.

And he lost that game!

I don't understand what there is to fear about a nugget like this.

They are indeed weak team killers, but they are far from the point where everyone is afraid!

Their seemingly strong defense didn’t work at all in front of us.”

The unruly Paul did not flatter Ryan. He wanted to defeat Ryan more than compliment him!

Paul has always been a little transparent before, but this year, Paul's personal strength and team strength have grown.

When your life suddenly becomes richer, you will naturally dare to do things that you normally wouldn't dare to do.

So far this season, the Hornets, like the Nuggets, have scored 9 wins and 2 losses.

In original history, this was also Paul's best season with the Hornets!

That's why he is so confident that even Ryan doesn't take him seriously.

Paul believes that the Nuggets' era has passed. Next in the west, it depends on the face of the Hornets!

Just like the Nuggets killed the Spurs and took over the Western Conference, Paul feels that the time has come for him to take over this territory!

The Hornets are one of the best offensive teams this season. He believes that there is no defense that he cannot solve!

Moreover, the Nuggets' defense is good at targeting scorers. But Paul is an organizer, so just targeting him is useless.

He wants to tell the world that the Nuggets' defense is nothing to fear!

Ryan also saw the newspaper report on Paul's words on the plane to New Orleans.

Everyone expected Ryan to be furious when faced with provocation, but Ryan just calmly handed the newspaper to Ellis and continued to listen to music on his headphones.

Artest was a little confused. He was still waiting for Ryan to make a series of declarations such as "We must cut off their heads."

As a result, Ryan just continued to listen to the song in the face of provocation?

But Bird knew that Ryan's reaction just meant that a storm was coming!

Recently, everyone seems to have forgotten that he has continuously limited his opponents to 80 points or even 70 points, as well as the title of first in the league in defensive efficiency.

The Nuggets can also kill the game with scoring!

Ryan hasn't had any amazing scoring performances so far this season.

But that's not because he can't, but because he doesn't need to.

If needed.

Ryan will definitely satisfy the other party.
