Chapter 176: Ajan’s top trick, Reed is in great shape, but the fear brought by Ryan is still there!
Wearing a We Believe T-shirt, Ryan appeared at Quicken Loans Center.
Seeing Ryan, many children in the stands were frightened and cried.
After all, the four finals games half a year ago really left a huge psychological shadow on Cleveland fans, especially young fans.
Although it would take three days and three nights to talk about the humiliating moments in Cleveland sports history.
But the finals six months ago could be said to have brought shame to a new level, and shame to a new level.
They lost more than 100 points in four games, losing by an average of 25.7 points per game. They were the first team in NBA history to lose by three digits in the finals.
The coffin boards of Cleveland legends were almost broken!
It can only be said that James is indeed a once-in-a-century genius, and he is worthy of being the Great King of Cleveland.
I come, I see, I surrender, why am I not the emperor?
In one finals, Ajan left the seniors far behind.
As for Ryan, he has become a psychological shadow for countless Cleveland fans.
So when they see Ryan, Cleveland fans will feel a sense of fear in their hearts, and their children will cry when they see him.
Ryan really has blood pressure on Cleveland.
This time, fans didn't dare to boo Ryan.
The Cleveland media was also uncharacteristically quiet.
They really didn't dare to provoke Ryan anymore, especially when Ryan had led his team to five consecutive victories and scored 40+ points in five consecutive games.
Pierce's lesson is right in front of us. It is generally believed that if Pierce hadn't provoked Ryan in the Nuggets locker room before the game, Ryan might not have been able to score 40 points.
Because that game, to be honest, was a battle of perseverance. Ryan was able to survive to the end only because of his belief in defeating Pierce.
So today, Clevelanders will never make that mistake again.
It’s not too late to spray Ryan after you defeat him!
If the Cleveland media still dares to provoke Ryan, then they really are the memory of a fish.
Although they obviously did not dare to provoke, the Katsumura fans actually still had some expectations for the game.
Because Reid's arrival really made up for the Cavaliers' biggest shortcomings.
The most terrible thing about the Cavaliers before was that except for James, there was no second person who could score.
Once James is guarded, the Cavaliers' offense will completely stall.
And precisely because there is no one to help James share the pressure, the opponent often piles all defensive resources on Ajan, which makes Ajan more vulnerable to death.
A vicious cycle is formed.
But Reed's arrival directly solved this problem.
Reed is a star-level scorer, averaging 26.7 points per game last season, sixth in the league in scoring!
The Cavaliers are equivalent to gathering two of the league's top ten scorers!
Moreover, with Reed, the Cavaliers only have a big player.
This is simply a blood-earning operation of 200 million out of 100,000!
In addition to averaging high points per game, Reid is also very explosive in scoring.
Career 12 times 40+, 2 times 50+.
Pierce has only scored 50 points once in his career.
This shows that Reid is not the kind of person who averages 20 points per game.
He is really explosive in scoring!
Moreover, Reid's three-pointers are accurate. In the past three seasons, his three-point shooting percentage has been above 35%.
From blocking to ability, he is the most suitable helper for James.
Reed's coming to Cleveland is no less than giving a single dead man a rubber doll. It simply solves the pain point fundamentally!
After Reid joined this season, the Cavaliers' offense has improved and become smoother.
The record has also improved, and I climbed to second place in the Eastern Conference in one breath without any soreness in my back or legs.
And, as James said yesterday.
The Cavaliers are also one of the duos with the highest scoring average per game in history!
All of this allows Cleveland fans to still have a glimmer of the illusion of defeating the Nuggets.
Although Reed's joining was ridiculed by Ryan as "if you give most of the stars in the league a second player who averages about the same points per game as yourself, they can also improve the team's record."
But, who cares, as long as you can win!
Cleveland fans and media did not provoke the Nuggets this time, but the Nuggets' murderous intentions are not small at all.
Especially Ben, he stepped into the Quicken Loans Center today with a mentality that was as if he was ready to die.
Although few people say bad things about Ben now, just half a year ago, everyone in Cleveland was shouting about Ben!
In order to find someone to take the blame, James' team put all the blame on James.
Even if James' team just smeared him, Cleveland fans also issued an expulsion order against him.
He holds a sign outside the arena every day, demanding a big trade.
A middle-aged man, working tirelessly for this family. Although it is not said that he is rich and powerful, he can at least live a good life.
As a result, the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt not only had no kind words to say, but also called you a waste and encouraged your wife to divorce you.
Which man can stand this?
Ryan also knows that Cleveland is Ben's sad place and his inner demon.
If he can't win the Cavaliers, Ben will be stuck in his throat for the entire season.
For the mental health of my subordinates, and for my subordinates to be able to concentrate on the great cause of winning three consecutive championships.
Ryan must seek justice for Ben today!
award? What reward?
Ryan has no idea!
A good leader like Ryan always cares about his teammates!
On the court, Ben was practicing free throws seriously.
Artest went up and joked with Ben as usual:
"Hey Afro, it seems that Cleveland fans still miss you a lot.
Look, there are many fans in the stands holding signs with content related to you.
Champion thief.
The worst second-in-command in history.
Hahahahaha, the people’s eyes are still sharp!
But you don’t have to worry about these things now, because.
You are just the third boss now hahahaha! "
On weekdays, Ben was teased by Artest. He would either have a few words with Artest or simply ignore him.
But today, Da Ben turned to stare at Da Ben. Those eyes were no longer human eyes, but the eyes of a bear, the kind of bear that had been hungry for three days and three nights!
Artest had seen this look before. It was Ben's look like this when he was at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
Artest immediately used the dreamy dance moves he learned from Garnett and calmly retreated to a safe distance:
"These cunning people in Cleveland! They don't know how to cherish great players at all! Don't be angry, brother, I have to make them look good today!"
The genius knows how Artest mastered the unique skill of changing faces, and he is afraid of it.
Seeing Ben continue to practice free throws, Artest was relieved.
It seems that Afro really hates the Quicken Loans Center.
He wasn't even in the mood to joke anymore.
Don't be kidding, even if there is a female Buddha who is willing to share her beauty and spreads her legs behind the basketball hoop to share her charm, I won't even look at her twice.
Although after coming to the Nuggets and playing these dozen games, Ben has already vindicated himself.
But those games we won before were not won in Cleveland after all!
Tonight has a different meaning. Today, he can personally make the people of Cleveland regret for his original behavior!
On Christmas Eve, let the people who once insulted you and drove you out of here cry bitterly.
This is what Ben wants to do most now!
At this time, Ryan also came up and patted Ben on the shoulder:
"I know what you are thinking, don't worry, I won't let you lose tonight!"
At this time, the scene became agitated.
The owners of Quicken Loans Center showed up.
James glanced at Ryan, and painful memories suddenly came to his mind.
Losing 100 points in four games in the finals is not an experience that everyone can experience.
This kind of pain can only be felt by Azhan himself!
Ajan looked at Reed, his eyes full of sincerity:
“Brother, feel free to vote today without any pressure or burden.
When it comes to your point, you vote, what are you afraid of? If I lose, it’s mine, if I win, it’s yours!
If I lose, I will bear all the responsibility alone.
If you win, I will make you the king of Cleveland! "
Looking at James' clear and sincere eyes, Reid regretted it.
I regret not coming to Cleveland earlier!
It is said that James' good-natured character is just a false persona, and Reid feels that it is just a smear campaign by some media.
James is not fake at all!
Of course Reed knows how much traffic it will bring to him if he wins this game.
The Christmas war was broadcast live across the country. Defeating Ryan was a game full of buffs.
If he can win, although he won't buy a plane directly like Ryan, it is still possible to sign a few more endorsement contracts.
And Azhan was actually willing to give this opportunity to himself.
Reed held Ajan's hand and nodded seriously:
"Don't worry, LeBron, I'll help you do what I can't do for you!"
James smiled slightly, this teammate is so stupid, ah no, that’s great!
The game is about to begin, and Cleveland fans are getting nervous.
I hope I won’t be massacred again today, I hope I can avenge my shame today!
For the Cavaliers, the starting five are Larry Hughes, Reid, James, Varejao and Big Z.
The offensive space on the outside is extremely wide.
In order to prevent James from breaking through, the Nuggets naturally replaced the pair of Ben + Birdman inside.
Millsap is not fully ready to start, and only starts in certain games.
James didn't talk much to Ryan today, not even provocative words.
Reed is not the type to cause trouble, so he is very quiet.
But Da Ben spoke:
"LeBron, today I'm going to take off your hypocritical mask!"
I really didn't expect that after last season's finals, James' team would make so much news and put all the responsibility on themselves.
Yes, Ben admitted that he almost had a fight with James on the court in last season's finals because he failed to control his emotions.
But Nima, if I have any dissatisfaction, I will tell it to my face.
This move of throwing the blame after the game is too underhanded!
Following the media's tempo, Cleveland fans followed suit and eventually made Ben go away.
It really comes true to the saying: What the cows and horses see is decided by humans!
Looking at the angry Ben, James shrugged: "I don't know what you are talking about."
While the two sides were arguing, the referee threw the ball high.
The game officially begins!
Don't tell me, Ben is in really good condition today.
He jumped hard on this ball, and it felt like he jumped out of his peak period.
After Ryan got the basketball, Artest also actively sprinted forward, trying to cut in.
Can Artejin not be active? Today is a good opportunity to conquer the big book!
If he helps Big Ben win the Cavaliers with his outstanding performance, then Afro shouldn't be grateful?
Out of gratitude, he must not obey my words in the future?
When the time comes, don't talk about being mean to me or yelling at me.
I said one and he didn’t dare to say two!
The Favor Operation Plan has officially begun!
Seeing Artest actively cutting in, the Cavaliers' defense did not react.
After getting the basketball, Ryan also used his hands to pass the ball to Artest.
All Artest has to do is catch the basketball and then go straight to the basket for an empty layup.
Ryan thought, no matter how unreliable Artest is, it's impossible for him to miss an empty layup, right?
It's really impossible, but.
Artest was distracted because he was thinking about things in his mind. So while running, my right foot stumbled over my left foot and I fell flat on my face!
What's even more ridiculous is that after Artest fell, Ryan's pass was still alive and hit Artest's head while he was lying on the ground. In an instant, the comedy effect was full!
The basketball hit Artest's solid head and bounced out of bounds. As soon as it came up, the Nuggets made a dumbfounding mistake.
Ryan spread his hands, how the hell can you throw it on the ground?
This is even more outrageous than missing an empty layup, my friend!
Ben was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could rush up and dissect Artest now to see what was in his mind!
Artest covered his head and was speechless.
Damn, why did this battle of favors overturn from the very beginning!
Ben was not in the mood to fight with Artest today, so he immediately returned to defense.
Artest also gritted his teeth and must save face on the defensive end!
Isn't it James? I know how to guard against that bastard!
The game continues, switching to the Cavaliers' attack.
Artest stared at Ajan murderously, wanting to show off.
But Ajan did not give Artest a chance to perform. He handed the ball to Reid just after halftime.
Although Reed is a shooting scorer, he is different from Junzi Lei and others.
What Reid prefers is shooting with the ball!
So partnering with Reid, even the step of "feeding the ball at the right time" is omitted.
You just need to hand the ball to him, and he will do it fully automatically, just like those experienced five-star bath center technicians!
After Reed gets the ball, it's Ryan who is responsible for marking him.
But Reid was not nervous, and immediately accelerated to his left side. On that side, Big Z's pick-and-roll is already in place.
Ryan quickly went around the screen and didn't give Reed much space.
As long as he reaches out, he will definitely interfere with the shooting.
Most players don't dare to take a shot from this distance, but Reid himself likes this kind of direct jump shot behind the screen with the ball.
Also, those words of James before made Reid very bold now!
"If I lose, it's mine, if I win, it's yours." This sentence keeps echoing in Reed's mind.
That being the case, what else is there to worry about?
Cum as much as you want!
Reid pulls up and shoots. This guy is left-handed, and his shooting posture is very weird. He is called a "sniper" by domestic fans.
But besides being ugly, Reed's shot was all good. The release speed is fast and the release point is high.
The NBA has proven more than once that there is no particularly strong connection between shooting percentage and shooting posture.
Reed's extremely quick attack greatly reduced Ryan's interference effect.
Even so, Ryan did interfere for a while. After all, Ryan was not thrown too far away by the pick-and-roll just now.
Overall, this is still a strong shot for Reed.
Seeing this scene, the Cleveland fans at the scene didn't know what Reid was worried about.
This is purely a blind fight!
If you keep doing this, you won’t lose more than 20 points today?
The result, just when all Cleveland fans were worried.
Just when Director Zhang was already laughing and saying, "This is a blind play, it's impossible to score a goal\
,"Reid's three-pointer that he almost shot against Ryan's defense went straight into the net!
At the beginning, Michael Reed hit a three-pointer over Ryan's head!
James waved his arms excitedly. It seems that his great leadership temperament has inspired all of Reid's strength!
After working with Reed for more than 20 games, James discovered that Reed has a bit of a convulsive attribute.
Of course, unlike JR Smith, who is a psychopath, people like JR are either super gods, super ghosts, or just plain ordinary.
And Reed, when he's not having trouble, is an average scorer averaging 20 points per game.
But when he starts pumping, he can evolve into a super scorer who can score 40+!
To put it bluntly, Reed's lower limit is higher than those of those nerve knives.
You don't have to worry about him being too exaggerated.
But facing Ryan's defense, there is no way to win by relying solely on the lower limit.
Therefore, James wants to stimulate Reed's upper limit and make him dare to take action today!
Once Reed surrenders, even Ryan will have a hard time holding him down completely!
On the first pitch of the opening game, Reid shot very bravely!
And, he really put in the effort!
It seems that Reid feels good today. It seems that Reed can smoke today!
James feels that his days of success are really coming this time!
Ryan cursed secretly, it was not unreasonable for the Dream Team to choose Reed.
Whether it is efficiency or output, this guy's three points are far ahead of his peers in the same generation.
And this style of "holding the ball in pick-and-rolls and shooting three-pointers" is also very advanced.
Ryan had just tried to defend as fast as possible, but still couldn't stop him.
And people like Reed tend to become more popular the more they invest.
It seems that tonight, it will not be so easy to win against Ajan.
After the Nuggets attacked, Mike Brown's defense immediately began to target Ryan.
Larry Hughes led the defense against Ryan, and James and Reed failed to defend their opponent. Their positions were more inclined to help defend Ryan at any time.
The two inside big Z and Varejao filled the penalty area. After all, neither Big Ben nor Birdman has the ability to open up space.
Ryan did not force his way in, but wanted to punish the Cavaliers' defensive strategy first.
So Ryan passed the ball to Artest who was left open.
Although it was passed to Ellis, Ellis was more confident.
But James' position was very bad, just blocking the passing route.
Reed's defensive positioning isn't as good, so it's easier and safer to pass to Artest.
Artest received the basketball, and Reed, who was not afraid of catching up to interfere, took the shot directly.
And after taking the shot, before the basketball hit the net, he turned around in advance and pointed coolly at the sky.
Hehe, I am so handsome with my afro, right?
Don't be obsessed with brother, we are second in command, that's why we are so strong!
Artest is not very confident either. The main reason is that Artest's performance in these games has been really good.
Since playing with the Jazz until now, Artest's lowest scoring game has been 17 points, and his three-point shooting percentage in these games has been above 35%.
He is almost like a bankrupt version of Ryan.
It must be admitted that the Nuggets are currently able to win five consecutive games, and Artest's contribution is second only to Ryan. Therefore, he is very confident in his condition.
On that shot just now, Artest felt very comfortable shooting the ball, and looking at the flight path of the basketball, it looked like it was going in.
Only then did he confidently turn around in advance.
As a result, when Artest tilted his head and looked at the scene where he was drooling, he heard a "boom".
Artest looked back and saw that the basketball hit the side of the basket and popped out!
Nick Young's famous scene now belongs to Artest!
Reggie Miller was even amused:
"The basketball didn't go in, hahahahaha, Artest actually celebrated in advance.
To be honest, Artest really brought us a lot of happiness. "
Bird covered his face. No one could pretend to be so embarrassed!
Please don't embarrass our Beep Brigade, okay?
As for Ben, Artest's enchanting figure and seductive back just now made Ben's blood rush to his head, and he became hard!
The fist is hard!
Although Ben is not tall, his blood pressure at that moment was estimated to have exceeded 226, directly surpassing Yao Ming's height.
Forget it if you can't make the shot in the big open position, you are celebrating your horse in advance!
Big Z got the rebound and the Cavaliers immediately counterattacked.
This time, Ryan went after James, who was taking the lead, to prevent him from attacking the frame.
As a result, Larry Hughes gave the ball to Reid.
Reid took two steps and then directly chased a long shot from outside the three-point line!
In the past, no one in the Cavaliers could play like this.
Well, it’s not completely absent. Larry Hughes, Daniel Gibson and others can occasionally perform this kind of three-point performance.
It's just a little too occasional.
James wondered if they had some kind of Jordan experience card system. You have to wait a long time to experience the next experience.
But Reid is different. He can continue to provide James with such firepower!
Reed is a bold artist, and his pursuit of a three-pointer may be a blind shot to others, but to him, the rhythm is just right!
then
"The basketball hit the net and Michael Reed hit two consecutive three-pointers!
This is the Cavaliers this season. While they still wear heavy armor, they also have the flexibility of assassins, enough to launch a one-hit killing attack!
The Nuggets may not be able to win games at Quicken Loans Center so easily this season! "
Reggie Miller admitted that the Cavaliers have made great progress and started perfectly.
But just look at the reaction of the Cleveland fans. The Cleveland fans were not too happy or excited.
Because they know that Ryan hasn’t taken action yet!
6-0 in front of Ryan is not an advantage at all!
The fear brought by Ryan still lingers over Quicken Loans Center!
James also held his breath. What can be confirmed today is that Reid's touch is quite good. And with my own deception, ah no, my own encouragement, I dared to invest.
Now let’s see what kind of state Ryan will be in!
Big Ben ran to the baseline and punched the basketball stand angrily.
Artest also knew that he was in the wrong and giggled: "I really didn't mean to explode my head. Don't worry, I won't make blind shots. I'll just defend James from now on, right?"
Ryan also nodded: "Don't worry, I said I would help you. Next, I will attack myself!"
After Ryan finished speaking, he took the baseline ball from Ben.
The Cavaliers do have a good offense this season, and they are worthy of being one of the duos with the highest scoring averages in history.
But as Ryan said.
Together, they may not be able to win themselves!
If 40 points is not enough
Then if you get a little more, it shouldn't be too difficult.
