Chapter 212: Terrifying team power! The reward given by fate for trusting and waiting for Ryan!
Don't talk about Thibodeau, even Mike Malone's mentality is a bit broken at this time.
As a head coach, when the team is most helpless, it actually leads the score.
In the first quarter, he was as fierce as a tiger, but was suppressed by the Bulls.
In the second quarter, he chose to hang up without hesitation and successfully counterattacked!
I might as well just hang up!
Mike Malone is convinced, so he might as well coach part-time from now on, instead of being a full-time bad guy!
In fact, Mike Malone's tactics are not useless.
The biggest function of his system is that it allows Ryan to win games with twice the result with half the effort.
With the support of his teammates and a wide space for singles, it will be easier for Ryan to win.
Creating better and easier scoring opportunities for players is actually the meaning of basketball tactics.
But when simple methods don't work, that doesn't mean superstars are helpless.
Jordan could take over the game when the triangle offense wasn't working.
Olajuwon can still wreak havoc in the penalty area even when his teammates are not feeling well.
Similarly, Ryan can continue to score without the space being completely opened!
The Nuggets this season have both excellent team offense and ultimate individual offense!
They will never misfire under any circumstances, and they are worthy of being the strongest offensive team in the league!
Ryan smiled and pointed to the stands to thank the fans and then walked to the free throw line, ready to start adding penalties.
Not surprisingly, Ryan's extra penalty was a solid hit.
So now, the Nuggets are 4 points ahead of the Bulls!
Mike Malone, who originally just hoped that Ryan would bite the score, now has a 4-point lead.
With tactics being suppressed, Ryan led the team into the halftime break with his 17 points in a single quarter!
Reggie Miller looked at Ryan who walked into the tunnel, then looked at Thibodeau with messy hair, and sighed:
“Coach Tom Thibodeau has transformed the Chicago Bulls and he has done a lot of hard work to do so.
We can see the Bulls' tight defense and smooth offense.
They have everything a good team has.
But in the end, they fell behind at halftime.
Simply because there is no way to withstand Ryan's offensive firepower.
Let’s take a short break and see how the game situation changes in fifteen minutes. "
Taking off his headphones, Reggie Miller glanced at Kevin Harlan next to him:
"This season, we haven't seen Ryan take over the offense on his own like he did today. So, many people may have forgotten how terrifying his individual offense is.
Tom Thibodeau has done almost everything. I bet he must have stayed up countless nights studying Nuggets game videos for this game. His dazzling hair is proof!
But...poor Tom. "
After Reggie Miller finished speaking, Kevin Harlan on the side also smiled apologetically: "It's very possible that I also harmed Tom."
"Oh? What does it have to do with you?"
"I said before that Rose might be the MVP this season, and Ryan seemed angry after hearing that.
I think Ryan is telling the world how good he is! "
"Hahahaha, so don't say bad things about Ryan casually, that guy has a very good ear!
If the Chicago Bulls really lose today's game
Kevin, you'd better buy Tom a drink and some fruit plate.
Your words might really be the switch that stimulates Ryan's nerves. "
At this time, the Nuggets locker room was filled with laughter from the players.
Because just now, Ryan said something to Mike Malone:
“Sorry coach, I didn’t follow your plan.
You asked me to hold on to the score, but I overtook it on my own initiative. I'm really sorry. "
Mike Malone shook his head. Ryan is truly a true disciple of Bird. He can always catch you off guard.
However, the situation is indeed much better than Mike Malone expected.
After Ryan attacks like this for one quarter, the Bulls will undoubtedly be more aggressive in shrinking and pressing.
Next, the Nuggets will have more three-point opportunities!
In the second quarter, the Nuggets' three-point shooting was still not good. No one other than Ryan hit a long shot.
And this will strengthen the Bulls' determination not to limit three-point shots.
In the following third quarter, Mike Malone didn't expect everyone to feel great. But as long as one or two people can take advantage of this opportunity to score three points, the game will become very different.
So in the third quarter, Malone asked Ryan to share the ball again and let the team shoot three-pointers.
After Malone's tactics were laid out, Lowry and Millsap left the locker room early and went to the court to warm up.
Although Ryan's performance in the second quarter was extremely dazzling, Millsap and Lowry felt extremely guilty.
Because behind Ryan's dazzling performance is the weakness of the role players.
They don't want to be saddled with the title of "the worst starter in the league" again.
So before the start of the second half, Millsap and Lowry went to the court early to warm up and find their three-point touch.
However, not many fans care about their behavior.
In the expectation of most fans, this game will be an anxious confrontation between Ryan and the Bulls.
No one cares about their efforts at all.
Because in the first half, the two of them only made one three-pointer in total. It seemed like the Trash Brothers were of little help to Ryan as always.
But they never complain about this. They can't control what others do. They only know that they must be prepared at any time.
Ryan glanced at the two guys when he entered.
Ryan has always seen the efforts of Lowry and Millsap.
In fact, they are the basis for Ryan's belief that the Nuggets can still be saved, and the basis for Ryan's choice to stay in Denver.
Ryan looked at the score again. Now that the team was temporarily ahead by 4 points, it was a good time to test the skills of his teammates.
Shooting feel doesn't just happen for no reason.
Under normal circumstances, a certain number of shooting attempts are needed as a basis to develop a good shooting feel.
Only by groping slowly will your hand feel smoother and smoother, and you will be ready for entry.
If you keep asking a teammate to follow you back and forth, but then suddenly pass the ball to him at a critical moment in the hope that he can make a shot, isn't that simply a disease?
Korver said this when he was playing for the Cavaliers and playing in the Finals with the Warriors:
"This game is very difficult, because if you watch the game, you will find that their superstars are shooting three-pointers at critical moments, but we can only rely on role players who have not shot for a long time to shoot three-pointers at critical moments."
Although this sentence is somewhat related to the unsatisfactory life, it is a truth. You can't expect your teammates to not take the shot and then score goals as they please.
Because he fell behind in the second quarter, Ryan did not give his teammates a chance to try their hand.
But now, give them a little try for two rounds.
Ryan knew very well that in the second half, the Bulls' defense would only get crazier. Therefore, continuing to play alone is not a long-term solution.
Although Ryan was able to go ahead with 17 points in the second quarter, it does not mean that he can do this in every quarter.
Korver's shooting package only increases the probability of Ryan breaking the defense, rather than allowing Ryan to directly ignore the defense. As long as Ryan scores less points in the third and fourth quarters, this anxious game will be very dangerous.
Taking over the game is a last resort and the most dangerous choice.
But if the whole team can score three points, the game can be won more safely!
In short, the whole team must be activated!
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Nuggets attacked first.
Luol Deng's defense against Ryan is still tight, because the entire Bulls are behind him, so he is not afraid of being broken through.
Ryan took advantage of Love's cover and prepared to break through, but Noah's defense change was faster than before. Almost as soon as Love set up a screen, he directly blocked Ryan's breakthrough route.
As Ryan expected, the Bulls' pressure on the mid-range and penalty area became even more crazy.
They carried out the strategy of local multiple defenses and one defense to the extreme.
Noah actively switched out to press Ryan who was holding the ball, and formed a high wall with Luol Deng to cover Ryan tightly.
And because Noah's defensive positioning was so bad, he just blocked Love's cut. Therefore, Ryan passed the ball to Love and didn't even have a chance to attack the frame.
There was no choice but to pass the ball to Lowry quickly.
After Lowry came out of his pocket, he caught the ball and shot. Rose pursued the ball very tightly and did not give Lowry much space.
But Lowry still took action calmly, he didn't want to betray Ryan's trust.
But after the basketball drew an arc, it still hit the left side of the basket and bounced out.
The Bulls steadily protected the rebounds as always, and the Nuggets' offense once again turned into a one-shot deal to try their hand outside the three-point line!
"Damn it!"
Lowry cursed. He was confident about this ball.
When he was just warming up in advance, Lowry kept scoring three-pointers in a row. He felt that he had completely found the feeling.
Who knew that this would be the result once the official competition came!
The Bulls immediately counterattacked. Luol Deng took advantage of Ryan to help defend Rose this time and cut to the basket.
Rose hit the ground in time and passed the ball steadily to Deng Yingqiao.
When Deng Yingqiao entered the penalty area with the ball, Ryan also chased after him, ready to block the ball from behind at any time.
However, Luol Deng did not attack the basket directly, but threw the ball into the air.
Immediately afterwards, Rose appeared behind Love, easily picked up the basketball that was thrown high, and then pressed it into the basket with one hand! As a point guard, Rose performed a beautiful alley-oop dunk!
Rose just has a low assist rate, but it doesn't mean he can't get even one assist.
As soon as he gave the ball to Luol Deng, he immediately cut to the basket. He believes that Deng Yingqiao, who has a high golf quotient, will see him!
Sure enough, Deng Yingqiao passed a good ball, and Rose also fully demonstrated his explosive athletic ability.
The Bulls reduced the point difference to 2 points, and the Chicagoans seemed to be starting a desperate counterattack.
One round later, Ryan went to the basket and handed the ball to Millsap, who was stretched out to the bottom corner in the enemy's formation.
Reggie Miller was so nervous that he clenched his fists: "It's another opportunity from beyond the three-point line. Can we make it this time? It's still a matter of iron! The Nuggets' three-pointer has been unable to hit today!"
On the side, Kevin Harlan shrugged:
"The Garbage Brothers each hit an iron after the start of the third quarter. Ryan's two attacks should be deliberately testing the skills of his teammates. But for now, Ryan probably has to rely on his own efforts."
As soon as Kevin Harlan finished speaking, Rose used a pull-up shot in the air to pass, assisting Boozer to score a mid-range shot.
The Bulls finally equalized the score and did not let the Nuggets lead for too long!
Thibodeau smiled. Fortunately, Ryan did not transfer this summer and chose the most difficult path.
This gives other teams a chance to defeat Ryan!
In Thibodeau's view, Ryan's only choice today is to continue playing alone like he did in the second quarter. teammate? He can't count on it!
Lowry and Millsap looked at the equalized score again on the big screen and blamed themselves extremely.
Ryan worked hard to give the team a 4-point lead in the second quarter.
As a result, they were defeated in an instant by one of them.
This pair of garbage brothers seems to be holding the team back again.
"The worst starting lineup in the league", this mark lingers in the minds of Millsap and Lowry.
Millsap, who was about to take a baseline kick, was lifeless.
Lowry, who was about to catch the baseline ball, had the same disappointed expression.
The two of them looked at each other and felt that they were the number one clowns in the league besides that man.
You even came out early to warm up, and this is the result
Just when the two of them started to feel a little disappointed, Ryan's voice suddenly broke in:
"What the hell are you two doing? What's your expression?
Listen, the Bulls are getting tighter on me now, and your chances are getting better and better.
So cheer the fuck up!
I will continue to pass the ball to you, you will actively run and then take decisive action, OK?
I believe you! "
I believe that no matter how bad their reputation is, Ryan will always believe in them.
Always supporting them.
When people question the abilities of Lowry and Millsap, Ryan will always retort immediately: "If they are not qualified starters, how can we achieve the first record in the Western Conference?"
Even before the start of the season, Ryan's words "I will prove to the world how strong Lowry and Millsap are" have been regarded as classics.
Now, when Ryan still says the word "believe", Millsap and Lowry are embarrassed to feel depressed anymore.
Ryan has helped them too much and protected them under his wing for too long.
It's time for them to lift Ryan up.
Millsap took a baseline kick and Lowry controlled the ball to the Bulls half.
Ryan was about to catch the ball, but he suddenly reversed and cut to the basket, throwing away Luol Deng's annoying defense.
Lowry also has quick eyes and quick hands, hitting the ground and hitting the ball to Ryan.
But even though Ryan's reverse run just now was very sudden, Lowry's pass was already very fast.
But the moment Ryan stepped into the penalty area, he was still surrounded by the Bulls' timely contraction.
Sometimes, Ryan admires the Bulls' starters.
Not only do they have to concentrate on defense every round and never stretch their hips, but they also have to be beaten to death by Thibodeau.
If Thibodeau's leadership skills were to lead a male model team, and the people he brought out were long-term and dedicated, his performance would definitely be the best in the industry.
The Bulls' defense made no mistakes, but Ryan did not stop the offense in the face of a tight attack at the basket.
Without looking at anyone, he suddenly passed the ball to the right, secretly and accurately passing the ball to Millsap who was running to the bottom corner!
This is another magician-level pass, both handsome and practical.
But the question is, can Millsap, who just made an iron decision, complete the task and seize the opportunity?
No matter how good the pass is, if the person receiving the ball can't make a shot, it's all in vain.
When Millsap received the basketball, the hearts of all the fans were in their throats.
This time, you can definitely enter!
Millsap was not timid and still shot decisively.
What flashed through his mind at this time were those days spent sweating every day on the training ground. It was the days when Lowry and Ryan spent time in the basketball gym day and night.
He has done his best to deserve the starting position.
He just wants to loudly tell the world: "I deserve it!"
"Ryan found Millsap with a very wonderful pass. Although Millsap had just hit the iron just now, he still made a decisive shot this time!
Korver interfered with Millsap's shot, but the interference was not serious.
The ball went in!
The Nuggets finally seized the opportunity from beyond the three-point line!
Paul Millsap, he no longer overdrafts Ryan's trust in him!
He steadily hit the three-pointer from the corner, allowing the team to regain a 3-point lead at the critical moment!
The Nuggets' sudden long-range firepower interrupted the Bulls' lead!
Can they continue this kind of firepower! ? "
After Millsap scored, he roared excitedly.
Finally, I found the feeling of shooting!
Ryan watched Millsap steadily hit a three-pointer and smiled happily.
Yes, this looks like a future All-Star player.
This three-pointer thwarted the Bulls' attempt to take the lead in one go.
Immediately afterwards, after Korver hit a three-pointer, the Nuggets once again got the opportunity to open the score.
Thibodeau roared on the sidelines: "Resolutely protect the mid-range and penalty area, don't let a three-point goal disrupt the defensive rhythm!"
Then, Ryan tried his best, and this time he found Lowry on the outside.
The moment Lowry caught the ball, the fast-moving Rose rushed directly to his face. It seems that he can not only interfere with, but directly take Lowry's shots.
But after Lowry raised the basketball, he paused for a moment, and instead of taking a direct shot, he used a fake shot to knock Rose away.
Just when everyone thought Lowry was going to take the opportunity to get into the paint, he still chose a three-point jumper after swaying Rose!
Lowry didn't believe that he couldn't make a three-pointer today!
This time, Lowry's shot felt extremely good. The basketball finally hit the net directly in front of everyone's expectant eyes!
The Junk Brothers scored consecutive goals from beyond the three-point line, laying out a powerful firepower network!
"Kyle Lowry also hit a three-pointer! This wave of the Nuggets is a bit like a thousand arrows piercing the heart!
Although his three-point shooting was not good in the first half, Ryan still chose to believe in his teammates!
The Nuggets lead by 6 points. Will the Bulls continue to force the Nuggets to shoot three-pointers? "
Thibodeau didn't hesitate. He waved his hand and signaled the players to defend as originally planned.
These two three-pointers, which were neither painful nor itchy, were just marginal in Thibodeau's opinion at best. If you want him to react, this margin is not enough!
But in Ryan's view, this game can already enter the countdown stage.
If you don't have this three-point thing, you won't even get it if you kill it.
But once you make a bet, your bets tend to get smoother and smoother!
Sure enough, two minutes later, the Nuggets scored another three-pointer!
This time, Ryan entered the penalty area and jumped up, then turned into a pass in the air and threw the ball to Millsap.
The reason for changing the up shot to a pass is to completely attract the Bulls' defensive attention to himself after jumping up.
As a result, when Millsap received the ball, no one on the Bulls had time to interfere.
In this way, Millsap got a rare open three-point shooting opportunity.
In Thibodeau's eyes, the three-point shot was no different than gambling, but he hit it accurately again!
This three-pointer gave the Nuggets a 7-point lead!
This is the difference between team offense and individual offense.
Let Ryan attack personally, and Ryan can continue to score.
But want to lead the Bulls by 7 points in one breath with individual offense? too difficult!
But now, when everyone on the team can score, it doesn't seem that difficult to widen the point difference.
Mike Malone was once again shocked by Ryan's performance.
In the second quarter, Mike Malone asked Ryan to rely on his personal ability to hold on to the score. Then Ryan relied on his incredible ability to solve the problem and overtake the score.
In the third quarter, Malone asked others to try their hand. Then, Ryan relied on his incredible leadership skills to lead the team to expand their advantage.
Give Ryan the tactics to close his eyes, and Ryan can score points if he closes his eyes.
Dear Zhan, I really don’t blame us for not being able to beat him in 2007!
In the past, Malone always thought Bird was the most powerful player, but now he realizes that when he was the coach, Bird was only responsible for pretending!
Just leave the rest to Ryan!
After Millsap's three-pointer, Rose wanted to return a mid-range shot, but unfortunately, under Lowry's active interference, Rose's mid-range shot bounced out of the frame again!
Now the game is getting pretty dangerous for the Bulls.
Because the Nuggets will score another three points in the next round, and the lead will reach double digits!
Ryan thought so too, so he broke through and scored again, hoping that Lowry would continue to score three points.
But this time, Windy City Rose predicted Ryan's movements.
Feeding Millsap one and then Lowry another, Ryan maintained this rhythm in the third quarter.
It's quite rainy and dewy.
Since he had just fed Millsap, Rose believed that Ryan would most likely pass the ball to Lowry in this round, so he was ready to intercept early and squatted on the passing route early to be the sixth.
Facts have proved that he was right. The moment Ryan passed the ball, Rose immediately intercepted the ball.
Ryan is also convinced. In the past, when I saw squatting when playing CS, I would be almost mad to death. I didn’t expect that squatting would happen when playing basketball!
If you keep doing this, I'll have no choice but to apply for a trade from the team and come to Arenas to attack!
After Rose successfully stole the ball, he immediately counterattacked and dunked.
Although the Bulls are a team that likes to press the pace, if you can still press the gun when facing a target that is completely exposed without any cover, it would be disrespectful to the opponent.
Rose's tomahawk dunk reduced the point difference to 5 points.
It seems that opening up the score will be difficult to achieve for a while.
The anxious tug-of-war seems likely to continue for some time.
Thibodeau also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the team can relieve this breath, it will definitely be able to ease this breath!
Ryan also cursed secretly. He must be extra careful when passing the ball now. Every passing route he takes will definitely be watched eagerly.
After running across half court, Ryan was ready to ask for the ball as always.
But this time, Lowry waved his hand and told Ryan that he wanted to play alone!
If another leader had encountered his teammates refusing to hand over the ball, he would have stood with his arms akimbo near the midfield line to protest.
But when Ryan saw that Lowry wanted to play singles, he quickly moved away, making room for Lowry.
Seeing this scene, Artest, an old man of 1.5, cried.
The old slave has served Lord Lion King for so many years, and he doesn't dare to think anything wrong, and he never dares to mention such things as singles.
As a result, when the young concubine arrived, the Lion King was so accommodating to him.
We are really old and yellow, and no longer attractive as young people!
Lowry's idea is also very simple. Since the passing route will be interrupted, then I will refuse the middleman to earn assists and directly beat Rose alone!
I saw Lowry alternately dribbling the ball outside the three-point line. After finding a rhythm, he began to break through.
Lowry is not the kind of guard who likes fancy dribbling. He will not dribble under the crotch 150 times like Ou Shenxian and then break everyone's ankles coquettishly.
Lowry has a strong European and American mark on him. He likes to hit the right angle and timing, and then go straight to the deep end!
His nickname of "Little Steel Cannon" comes from this playing style.
However, facing Rose, Lowry's simple and crude breakthrough defense failed to work.
Lowry's strong body allows him to carry most defenders straight to the basket, but Rose's confrontation ability is not bad either.
Therefore, Lowry's breakthrough was seriously hindered by Rose's timely blocking.
Thibodeau laughed disdainfully. Kyle Lowry simply overestimated his abilities.
Singles against Rose? What does he compare to Ross?
Just when everyone thought Lowry's offense had failed and the next step would definitely be to pass the ball.
However, when Lowry's breakthrough was blocked, he took advantage of the situation and took a step back to outside the three-point line, widening the distance between him and Rose, and gaining some space for shooting.
Then, with only a little space and just finishing his step back, Lowry shot a three-pointer!
No one thought that Lowry, a guy with a simple style of play, would be so bold this time.
The difficulty of this type of shooting is self-evident.
Even superstars rarely use step-back jumpers from outside the three-point line. Because in this era, the stability of this method of shooting three-pointers cannot be guaranteed at all.
Lowry barely threw the ball, because Rose used his terrifying bullet speed to eat up most of Lowry's shooting space.
On this goal, Rose's defense was at its best.
Seeing Lowry reluctantly take the shot, the Nuggets fans shook their heads, feeling that there was a high probability that this shot would be missed.
Artest seemed to be shaking his head, Ryan, you might as well let me do it for him!
At least I can hit the timer!
Lowry's shot is indeed difficult, and even the most senior Nuggets fans feel that this shot has a high probability of going bad.
It's not that they don't trust Lowry. Lowry's open three-pointers have indeed improved a lot this season.
But this ball is too difficult.
The result is that everyone is not optimistic about it.
Kyle Lowry's difficult step-back three-pointer ended up falling straight into the net with a "swipe" sound!
Lowry singles out Rose and wins!
Thibodeau was confused, and Mike Malone was even more confused!
How many crouching dragons and phoenix chicks are there in this team?
How much hidden strength do you have that you are hiding from me? ?
Everyone was surprised by the goal, but Ryan was not surprised.
Lowry, who is gradually entering his peak period, already has the ability to shoot three-pointers with the ball.
In the original history, after all, he is the 13th man on the three-point list in NBA history.
What concept? JJ Redick, a pure shooter, is only ranked 19th, and Nowitzki is only 16th.
Not only does Lowry know how to shoot three-pointers from traditional spots, he can also shoot three-pointers with the ball, but he's just not as good as Curry and others.
Lowry singled out Rose and scored a step-back three-pointer, which surprised everyone.
Lowry roared after scoring, venting all his grievances.
And this three-pointer also gave the Nuggets an 8-point lead!
The double-digit difference is getting closer!
Thibodeau became a little nervous. The Nuggets' three-pointers became more and more accurate in the third quarter, and now they can even make such difficult step-back three-pointers.
What the hell... They won't really take the game away in one fell swoop, right?
The Bulls now desperately need to improve their scoring success rate, and they must not give the ball to the Nuggets when they are 8 points behind.
Therefore, the Bulls played very patiently in this round.
Countless off-ball screens and interspersed runs were in full swing in the small half.
Finally, Korver took advantage of Noah's screen and reached the bottom corner, and Rose passed the ball immediately.
But the moment Korver caught the basketball, Millsap appeared and reached out to cover him, without giving Korver much room to shoot.
Seeing that the open opportunity disappeared, Korver gave the ball to Rose who cut in again.
However, just as Rose was about to lay up, he was stopped by Millsap who immediately returned to the penalty area!
Millsap used his aggressive movements to stick to all the Bulls players like glue!
Rose then hit the ground and passed the ball to Boozer.
Boozer directly hooked sideways, and the Bulls' offense still looked smooth and pleasing to the eye. Every transmission is as smooth as a stream.
Boozer was also determined to score this time, but before his hand holding up the basketball was fully raised, and before he could make the hook motion, the basketball in his hand was already slapped away!
He turned his head in surprise, only to see Millsap just landing!
That's right, it was not Ryan who blocked Boozer, but Millsap who had just finished guarding Rose!
Boozer was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized!
It's a shadow clone! He added a shadow clone to his defense!
Otherwise, how could he cover up Korver outside the three-point line, then help defend Rose in the mid-range, and finally cover himself in the three-second zone!
To be honest, shadow clone is already a relatively acceptable explanation.
Because it is really hard for you to believe that Millsap completed this magical defense by himself with his active movements!
But, this is Millsap this season.
Not only has his offensive ability greatly improved, but his defensive ability has also improved significantly!
Lowry singled out Rose for an outrageous three-pointer.
Millsap's 1V3 4-split defense was outrageous.
All of this reminded Reggie Miller of a sentence:
"Remember? At the press conference on the first day of the season, Ryan said that he would let the world see how strong Lowry and Millsap are!
Now, we all see how good Lowry and Millsap are!
Indeed, in the past few years, Lowry and Millsap both had various flaws, and their performances on the court were not stable enough.
But Ryan did not abandon them and did not choose to abandon the team this summer.
Today's scene is the reward given by fate for Ryan's trust and waiting!
He firmly believes that the existence of Lowry and Millsap allows the Nuggets to remain competitive.
And the Garbage Brothers did repay Ryan's trust.
They two really look like stars now!
This is a beautiful, never abandon, never give up, unique romantic story of competitive sports!
Isn’t this kind of waiting and trust more worthy of praise than running away and avoiding? "
James: I've long disliked Reggie Miller. He's always been yin and yang with my good brother Bosh! What happened to Bosh leaving the Clippers to hug me and Wade? Now is the time for free love!
After Reggie Miller finished speaking, Love also grabbed a rebound.
At this time, the Nuggets lead by 8 points and a double-digit advantage is within reach.
Ryan slowly walked across half court with the ball, and the lion's fangs were about to bite through the bull's neck!
Now, the momentum on the Nuggets' side has completely picked up.
Then, it’s time to use a wave of three-point rain to completely extinguish the bull!
Ryan made a three-pointer as soon as he went up in this round.
The basketball hits the net again, and the Nuggets' three-pointers have gone crazy!
One round later, Lowry assisted Wesley Matthews and hit another three-pointer!
The score difference is 13 points!
Although in the next few rounds, the Bulls worked hard to narrow the point difference to 9 points.
But when Ryan assisted Millsap and hit another three-pointer, the Bulls' efforts were all in vain, and the point difference returned to double digits!
This sudden three-point rain caught Thibodeau off guard.
In fact, Thibodeau's team, no matter which team, has a very common way to die, and that is to be killed by a sudden rain of three-pointers.
The reason is that he never limits the opponent's three-point shots, and even encourages the opponent to take shots from outside the three-point line.
In this era, Thibodeau can still be effective with this move.
After all, although this era is not like the 1990s when almost no three-pointers were shot, there are basically no teams that use three-pointers as their main offensive weapon.
And when the small ball era comes when even centers must be able to shoot three-pointers, Thibodeau's defensive strategy seems somewhat outdated.
This is also the reason why Thibodeau's team, although strong, has never achieved any substantial honors.
As for the current Nuggets, their three-point firepower is undoubtedly ahead of the curve in this era.
Therefore, Thibodeau's strategy ultimately failed.
In the third quarter, when the entire Nuggets team found their touch, when Thibodeau still did not restrict three-point shots.
Sudden death is no longer unexpected!
With three minutes left in the third quarter, the Bulls trailed by a full 15 points.
They have lost 11 points in this quarter!
This is why Ryan has to find ways to activate his teammates. Of course he can score 40 or 50 points in a single game and become a hero.
But Ryan is not pursuing those, he is pursuing a more reliable way to win.
When the whole team is activated by Ryan, it is so easy to kill the Bulls!
And Ryan is also preparing to personally decide the game in this round!
Once the point difference exceeds 15 points, with the offense of a slow-paced team like the Bulls, it is impossible for them to counterattack!
This time, the Bulls' defense is no longer all concentrated in the mid-range and penalty area.
They were frightened by this wave of three-pointers, and were finally forced to cut off the passing route outside the three-point line in advance to limit the Nuggets' three-point shots.
Ryan smiled, so don't call Thibodeau stubborn! He's stubborn just because you didn't hit him hard enough!
The Bulls began to defend outside the three-point line, but there was a problem.
Ryan got the chance to play Luol Deng in singles!
The final form of One Star has finally appeared!
Ryan slowly approached Luol Deng, and the whole world was imagining how Ryan would ravage this guy.
But Ryan actually doesn't want to play any tricks. He just wants to do an emergency stop and pull out without any surprises.
Ryan did exactly that. He accelerated directly after getting close to Luol Deng. After taking a sudden step, he suddenly stopped a little inside the three-point line, and then raised the basketball to prepare for a shot.
However, what Ryan never expected was that Luol Deng was not shaken!
Deng Yingqiao had just braked in time and was not thrown away by Ryan's sudden stop. Therefore, at this time, he is still clinging to Ryan!
Ryan doesn't know how to move five steps, so he can no longer move. Under such circumstances, he was guarded by the tall and long-armed Luol Deng.
Thibodeau, who was already desperate, was overjoyed. This was to guard against Ryan! ?
Now Ryan doesn't have the back-up skills, and he can't turn over and shoot in this situation.
Therefore, Ryan could only throw the ball directly to the backboard, then quickly ran away from Luol Deng and jumped towards the rebounding backboard.
That's right, Ryan is planning a self-throw and buckle!
Because of the one-star shooting, the Bulls did not have any players under the basket, so the basketball was not snatched away when it hit the backboard and rebounded.
And because Ryan's move was so sudden, Luol Deng didn't react at all. Therefore, he was unable to stop Ryan immediately.
Just like that, Ryan caught the basketball that he threw and bounced back in the air. Then, smash it into the frame with great force! With a self-throw and a dunk in a positional offense, Ryan used the most incredible way to smash the league's strongest defense to pieces!
The league's No. 1 offense completely penetrated the No. 1 defense tonight!
Ryan hung one hand on the basket, looked at the lost Luol Deng, and sighed softly.
Hey, I originally just wanted to get along with you as a civilian, but what I got in exchange was close defense.
Forget it, stop pretending. In this case, I will score points in a slightly fancy way!
At this point, the Bulls were already 17 points behind the Nuggets with more than 3 minutes left in the third quarter!
In the third quarter of the Nuggets game, Ryan brought a wave of three-point wins, which basically made the game final!
Ryan used his most terrifying personal ability to stabilize the situation in the second quarter.
He also used his terrifying leadership skills to completely close the game in the third quarter!
He always makes himself better while also making the team better.
On the sidelines, Kelly Piquet looked at Ryan hanging on the basket and was completely lost.
anyway!
This princess must get that man!
