Chapter 185: No one thinks Ryan is the overlord of the alliance! ? It doesn't matter, you will

What is the impact of Ryan's "dressing scandal" incident?

Let’s put it this way, the number of views of the videos related to the theme of the locker room in P War has soared rapidly during this period because of the incident between Ryan and Swift!

Ryan's nickname of "Lord of the Locker Room" has also achieved global unification.

Countless fans are looking for "Ryan and Swift.avi" online, and of course, they download either Calabash or SpongeBob SquarePants.

But don’t worry about it. As long as the name of the resource is "Lian and Swift", the number of downloads will remain high!

Leon Rose really didn't expect that Ryan would create a wave of traffic during training in the locker room!

These are only the macro-level impacts, but on the micro-level, many families have also been affected.

For example, Kobe’s house!

As the saying goes, you can only think about your desires when you are full.

During this period, Kobe has not been thinking about food and tea, and naturally he has not carried out any family activities with Vanessa.

Vanessa thought it was nothing at first. He was too busy and it was normal for him to not care about these things.

Ryan has more winning streaks than you, so why can he take care of life and work, but you can’t! ?

I think you are just using busy work as an excuse!

Kobe:? ? ?

Kobe's heart was extremely messed up. His record was about to be overtaken, and his family was still in disharmony.

Ryan, you are such a bastard!

You can keep a low profile on this kind of thing!

Even if you spend some money to buy a house? What about booking a presidential suite? Spend some money, it doesn’t cost much!

You just have to be in the locker room? You are obviously very capable, right?

Ryan, you are just like a beast for doing this, worse than a beast!

In one word, disgusting!

Others were watching this locker room incident, but Kobe and Lakers fans were watching a horror movie.

Ryan has won 16 games in a row and is still relaxed, and he still has the energy to organize the program in the locker room.

But Kobe seems to have been pushed to his limit.

This is like an ordinary grocery cart and a supercar, although they both run at 200 kilometers per hour, they seem to be traveling at the same speed.

But if the grocery cart maintains this speed for a long time, it will almost burst. The supercar is still capable, and the speed can even be increased.

Kobe is now like that grocery cart that is running fast and bursting with cylinders. He doesn't know when it will suddenly stall.

Ryan didn't expect that he would shut down Lakers fans just by doing something he loved in the locker room.

But speaking of it, the disadvantages of chasing the Lakers started with Swift's bloodshed.

After yesterday's bloodshed, Ryan was about to start overtaking.

Although the reasons for bleeding are different, this matter really forms a closed loop!

Now that the curse of bloodshed has been broken, let’s go all out to win first place in the Western Conference!

Don't tell me, after Ryan made the bad luck bleed this time, Kobe was really bad luck.

I thought that after losing to the Trail Blazers, the Lakers could quickly regroup and start another long winning streak.

After losing to the Trail Blazers, the Lakers lost again against the Spurs, losing two games in a row!

As we all know, Kobe has always been known as the "Spurs Killer". In this game, Kobe scored 30 points and performed well.

But Gasol, as an inside man, was interfered by Al Harrington and made 7 of 18 shots. He only scored 15 points with a 38% shooting rate!

Gasol was indeed relatively soft during this period. Seeing Duncan sitting in the paint, he was a little hesitant to hit inside, so he kept shooting outside the three-second zone.

In original history, the Lakers easily defeated the Spurs 4-1 in the Western Conference Finals this season.

But that was mostly thanks to Kobe.

Gasol could only score 13 points on 44% shooting in the series against the Spurs.

For comparison, when facing the Celtics' terrifying defense in the finals, Gasol was able to score 14 points with a 53% shooting rate.

In other words, Duncan's deterrent to Gasol is greater than Garnett's deterrent to Gasol!

Of course, the Spurs didn't win the game simply by relying on Gasol to stretch his hips.

Their own offense also played very well.

Duncan easily scored 20 points, and the French sports car scored 22 points.

But if that's all, it's not enough to defeat the competitive Kobe.

But when Popovich pulled out the Demon Sword, and the Demon Sword scored 30 points with 5 of 7 three-pointers, Kobe was completely crushed.

The Spurs defeated the Lakers, which means the Nuggets' opportunity is here again!

Everyone also wants to know whether Ryan can maintain his condition while chasing the Lakers while practicing in the locker room.

However, the Rockets have no ability to stop the Nuggets.

Ryan only scored 18 points in the game against the Rockets, not because Ryan was too tired from extra practice and affected his touch, but because he didn't need to contribute at all and the game was easily won.

Nuggets win 17th consecutive game!

Since Kirilenko's comeback, the Nuggets have not tasted failure yet!

After the game, fans joked that the intensity of the confrontation between Ryan and the Rockets was not as intense as the intensity of the extra practice with Swift in the locker room.

So far, the Nuggets' record has been tied with the Lakers!

If the Lakers lose again in the remaining three difficult games and the Nuggets continue to win

Kobe really couldn't sleep at all now. He simply couldn't imagine how angry Ryan would be after he officially surpassed the Lakers.

And Kobe also promised before that he must keep the number one spot in the Western Conference.

If he breaks his promise, he won't even be able to forgive himself!

Angry and extremely competitive, Kobe was the scariest thing at Staples Center.

So in the next game against the Celtics, Kobe scored 45 points.

Lead the team to kill the enemy with your own hands!

In this game, the Celtics' defense against Kobe was extremely tight.

But Kobe was able to use his superb shooting skills and brave breakthroughs to break down the Celtics' defense time and time again.

Being able to score 45 points under the Celtics' defense is a record this season.

Even when Ryan beat the Celtics, he only scored 40 points!

Kobe was like an insatiable beast today, cruelly and greedily sucking the Celtics' flesh and blood.

Of course, the Celtics are also very strong. In the end, they only lost to the Lakers by 3 points.

But Kobe's firm will and determination to "never give up until he wins the game" allowed him to win this real war between men!

At the end of the game, Gasol hugged Kobe from behind in excitement.

Kobe leaned tiredly on Gasol's arms. Gasol stared down at Kobe. Kobe also turned to look at Gasol, smiling and touching his arm. This loving scene made people think that Gasol and Kobe would kiss together next.

Although Kobe was at his best today, the Lakers are still not out of danger.

Next, if the Nuggets win the Spurs, the records of the two sides will still be tied.

In any case, the previous two consecutive losses have made the Lakers' advantage no longer obvious.

Therefore, even if Kobe scored 45 points and performed extremely well to win against the Celtics.

But public opinion has changed 180°.

Previously, most media believed that it would be very difficult for Ryan to catch up with the Lakers.

But now, almost all mainstream sports media believe that Ryan leading the team to surpass the Lakers is a sure thing!

"Kobe shouldn't just promise things he can't do. He's not Ryan, and he can't keep everything he says."

“Ryan is really rounding out his great season and the climax is just around the corner!”

"Just look at the state of the two of them. One is practicing extra in the locker room but still winning, and the other can't sleep every day but loses two games in a row. Kobe has been completely crushed by Ryan. Without Shark, he will never be able to hold on to the third place. The throne of One!”

This public opinion is very unfriendly to Kobe, who just scored 45 points.

Lakers fans are anxious. Now that the Nuggets have lost to the Spurs, it is an opportunity for the Lakers to widen the winning gap again, and it is also an opportunity for Kobe to change public opinion again.

So those who were still criticizing the Spurs two days ago suddenly became 50-year-old Spurs fans at this juncture.

This is probably the first time they want the Spurs to win so eagerly.

For a time, the Spurs were inexplicably hyped online.

Many people who hold the Los Angeles IP claim to be Spurs fans.

They all said that it is not a shame for the Lakers to lose to the Spurs. After all, the Spurs are a first-rate team and Duncan is also a first-rate superstar!

Looking back at the Nuggets, what's there to brag about if they win against the junk Rockets?

How can you expect a team that has a dog as its general manager to be any better?

This rhetoric has a bit of the charm of "GOAT has no shame in losing in the finals, because all he loses are champions, while everyone else wins are runners-up."

The Spurs, who have never had much traffic, have never been so touted.

Los Angeles fans just want to create an atmosphere of "the Spurs are strong and losing is normal."

If the Nuggets also lose to the Spurs next, the Lakers will not be so embarrassed, and Kobe will no longer be besieged by the media.

But Ryan said this at the press conference the day before the game:

"The Spurs were only strong when I was in my first and second years. Now? I can beat the Spurs at any time! The Lakers lost to them purely because of their own lack of strength. Don't involve others."

Ryan's words that directly exposed the lie naturally made Lakers fans very unhappy.

It also makes the Lakers more eager to see the Spurs win!

If the Lakers lose to the Spurs and the Nuggets win, it will really be a complete loss!

Popovich, who was once so angry that Ryan fainted at the press conference, was also very dissatisfied with Ryan's words.

Get the Spurs at any time? Do you really think the Nuggets are still the Nuggets of the past two years! ?

After being humiliated by Ryan in various ways in the past two years, Popovich has long wanted to avenge his humiliation!

The Spurs are indeed not weak, but because there is really little traffic in San Antonio, the discussion is not high.

The Spurs had defeated the Nuggets once before.

And when it comes to dealing with the Nuggets, Popovich thinks he has a lot of experience.

The reason why the Nuggets were able to break the Spurs' dominance in the previous two years was mainly because that Nuggets had so many people passing the ball to Ryan.

And there is Webber, who is responsible for pulling Duncan apart!

Every time he played against the Spurs, Webber could score at least 17 or 18 points.

This makes Duncan unable to defend Ryan, nor is he capable of defending Webber.

But the current configuration of the Nuggets is completely different from the previous two years.

Now Duncan, as the center of interior defense, can concentrate on helping defend Ryan without having to worry about Big Ben pulling out for a mid-range shot.

In the last game, Ryan was made very uncomfortable by Duncan's help defense.

Therefore, Popovich also responded to Ryan in a weird way:

“I won three championships, but I’m not half as proud as Ryan who won two championships.

I don’t understand why he always acts as if he is the overlord of the league. No one regards him as the overlord of the league. He is not even the person who has won the most championships in the past 10 years.

Hell, he’s not even No. 1 in the West this season!

So, I don’t care what he boasted about, let’s just see the result of the game! "

Popovich's words, "No one thinks he is the overlord of the league," touched the G-spot of countless Ryan haters.

Yes, Ryan, don't talk as if you already dominate the league.

There is always someone who can take care of you!

The Nuggets' 60th game of the season, against the Spurs, attracted the attention of countless Los Angeles fans.

Now, only Duncan can save Kobe!

Before the game, Popovich remained confident.

When a reporter asked him if he could limit Ryan's scoring, Popovich responded this way:

"Actually, I don't care how many points Ryan scores, he can score as many points as he wants, but we will win in the end.

In the last game, Kobe scored a lot of points, but it was not the Lakers who won in the end. "

After saying that, Popovich smiled. Having studied under Larry Brown, he believes that his defensive strategy is the most perfect.

Popovich's defensive strategy is to use Bowen to keep an eye on the opponent's leading scorer to prevent him from breaking through the middle, and then use Duncan to help defend, while others do not easily leave room for role players.

To put it bluntly, it is a bet on the opponent's star's mid-range shot under the help of defense.

Popovich has always believed that mid-range shots under interference are the most cost-effective means of scoring.

Although the three-point shooting rate is low, the explosion is quick.

Although hitting the basket is still 2 points, the efficiency is much higher than that of a mid-range shot.

As long as the opponent can keep repeating "interfering with the mid-range shot", then the opponent's offense will definitely not be efficient!

Even if Ryan feels hot today, how many points can he score with 2 and 2 mid-range shots?

The Spurs' defensive system has been set up this way for so many years.

Block three-pointers and the inside, not easily flank the open space, and then give the opponent a chance to interfere with the mid-range shot.

In the last game, Popovich allowed Kobe to score a lot of points in the mid-range.

But Kobe's mid-range production is still not enough to defeat the Spurs.

Today, Popovich will follow the same pattern and kill Ryan!

All we can say is that the old man Popovich still gets beaten less.

His strategy is indeed effective against most teams, especially against James. So much so that in 2014, Duncan was almost 40, and he could still play his brothers' basketball like his hometown basketball.

But when encountering a true CIC master, the Spurs' strategy failed time and time again.

In the original history, in the 2008 playoffs, Kobe defeated the Spurs with a mid-range shot.

After that, in the 2012 Western Conference Finals, the Spurs were beaten by Durant with a 53% shooting rate and 29.5 points.

Although the Spurs got revenge on the Thunder in the 2014 Western Conference Finals, it is generally believed that the person who guarded Adu in that series was... Turtle!

Moreover, San Antonio did not win that series by relying on defense.

It is obvious to all how strong and smooth the Spurs' offense was in 2014. It is no exaggeration to say that this may be the most offensive team in NBA history.

It's even moister than adding lubricant.

In the Spurs game at that time, everyone was running 5,000 meters across the court. What you saw was Parker and Duncan running pick-and-roll tactics. In fact, the remaining three people on the field were also running their own tactics. , it is impossible to guard against them, and they can always find a gap.

Therefore, the Spurs also failed to guard Durant in 2014. They just deployed undercover agents and fought back with a stronger offense.

In short, as long as the mid-range shooting ability is strong enough, you can take advantage of the situation and defeat the Spurs' defense.

What's more, it was Leonard who was guarding Durant at the time.

And now the person responsible for defending Ryan is just an old Bowen.

Kobe didn't win the last game. To be honest, it wasn't Kobe's fault. It was all because Ginobili's three-pointers were too accurate.

But under the Nuggets' defense, even Demon Sword can't expect to shoot an outrageous shooting percentage!

That's why Ryan said, "I can take care of the Spurs at any time."

In his opinion, with his strong mid-range shooting ability and the team's strong defense, he can definitely smash the Spurs to pieces!

When the game started, Popovich still looked confident.

In the Nuggets' first offense, Ryan saw the Spurs resolutely implement man-to-man marking.

Don't give any other Nuggets players any open opportunities.

Artest looked at Finley who was not far away from him, his eyes were red with emotion.

This is probably the most respected time he's been on the offensive end.

But there is one person who does not strictly implement man-to-man marking, and that is a fool!

Instead of protecting the basket, the idiot stayed behind Bowen on the edge of the penalty area.

Ready to help defend Ryan at any time!

Insider's big book?

Duncan's position selection was very stupid, and it just cut off Ryan's passing route to Ben, so Ryan could not give the ball directly to Ben.

Duncan's defensive sweeps are not as perverted as KG's, and his ability to fan the ball into the stands is not as exciting as Howard's.

The reason why he defends well is because of these basic details.

Positioning, timing, anticipation, precise pace, etc. allow Duncan to maintain extremely high defensive efficiency at all stages of his career.

Bowen didn't have many ways to defend Ryan alone. He could only block the middle position as much as possible to prevent Ryan from breaking through directly from the center.

Ryan also took advantage of the trick, suddenly fainted, and accelerated past Bowen.

However, as soon as he passed Bowen, Ryan met Duncan who came up to help defend!

This No. 21's defense was just right. He was not too close to Ryan to avoid being passed by Ryan's continuous acceleration.

But he is not too far away from Ryan, ensuring that he can interfere with Ryan's jump shot.

He was in the right position to defend Ryan!

At the same time, Bowen also caught up and continued to block Ryan's breakthrough route to the middle.

The mid-range encirclement took shape immediately!

Popovich smiled. Without Webber to open up space, what is Ryan?

But when Ryan looked at Duncan, who was already on defense, he was not nervous. Instead, he suddenly stopped suddenly and then took action!

Ryan had just started to break through Bowen, and it was just a lucky move.

Therefore, Ryan can still trigger McGrady's pull-out talent fragments.

When there is the effect of talent fragments and the mid-range shooting attribute has been directly maxed out.

Duncan's interference is not so scary to Ryan!

As a result, people only saw Duncan appearing in the most correct position and pounced at the most correct time to interfere with Ryan's shooting.

but!

Even though Duncan made no mistakes at all, Ryan's pull-up jumper still fell steadily into the net! Although his defense was in place, it was still to no avail!

With Duncan, can Ryan be completely contained?

It might have been possible before, but now Ryan won't be guarded so easily!

Duncan looked at the floating net and curled his lips.

Although there was not much expression on his face, he had already cursed "fuck" countless times in his heart.

On the court, Ryan also shouted at Popovich:

“Hey, Craig, are you really not going to double-team me?

It seems that you really don’t think I am the overlord of the alliance. It doesn’t matter, you will recognize it sooner or later! "

Popovich ignored Ryan, you are pretending, but you won’t be able to pretend anymore!

Seeing that Popovich ignored him, Ryan nodded with relief and continued to spray:

"You have to think carefully now about how you are going to quibble about your strategic mistakes at the press conference!"

After saying that, Ryan stepped back to half court and opened his arms.

Today I will let you experience what it feels like to be thrown to death!

Popovich took his time. It is normal for a star like Ryan to occasionally hit the ball against the defense once or twice.

Popovich's purpose is not to lock down Ryan. As long as Ryan's production and efficiency are not too high, he will not be able to win the game by relying on mid-range shots.

Secondly, the Spurs also have Ginobili as double insurance!

No matter how unfavorable the situation is, he still has the X factor that can change the situation.

With the help of Duncan, Ryan maintained a very high mid-range shooting efficiency, and Ginobili was guarded. The probability of these two things happening at the same time is close to zero!

I can't lose!

Popovich never thought that the probability of these two things happening at the same time with the Nuggets was actually much higher than his probability of winning.
