Chapter 215: Rivers, the coach who uses Ryan best in the league. Pippen, the birth of a clown king.
Looking at Ryan's data, Pippen admitted that he started to panic a little!
In just a few rounds, Ryan’s stat sheet was filled with numbers.
Just when Pippen was worried, Reggie Miller said: "You're sweating, Scott."
Pippen quickly waved his hand to deny: "Ah? No! I'm not worried, I'm not worried at all! The game has just begun, what do I have to worry about?"
Miller looked confused: "Huh? I mean, the air conditioner temperature in North Shore Garden seems to be a bit too high. What are you talking about?"
Only then did Pippen realize that he seemed to be a little too nervous, so nervous that he even lost his composure.
He tried hard to steady his slightly trembling hands. No, it was impossible. The team ranked first in three statistics. It was impossible for Ryan to complete such a demanding request!
Ryan may play me, but Kevin Love can't play me, right?
He will definitely grab the most rebounds in the game today!
On the court, Rondo also became nervous. He calculated the pass just now perfectly, but he failed to calculate that Ryan would teleport!
The Nuggets' defense has one shadow clone and one teleporter. How can others fight against this?
If James really joins forces with Ryan this summer, the Nuggets will have to add a Gaia energy cannon.
Instead of competing for the NBA championship, the Nuggets suggest forming the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Rondo has never been so useless in his life. The pass was intercepted, and then someone else showed off the pass.
Ryan's words, "I can do all these little tricks of yours" were simply a slap in the face of Rondo.
And the most shocking thing is that Ryan really didn't let the Celtics take the lead again. It seemed that Ryan was completely in control of the entire game.
Now Celtic are 3 points behind, which means that even if a goal is scored in the next round, the best they can do is tie the score.
But Rondo quickly adjusted his mentality. It doesn't matter, haste makes waste.
First equalize and then overtake, I can definitely do it!
I could lead the team to a comeback in the finals last season with one hand. Today I can use both hands, so why not! ?
The Celtics attacked again, and Rondo called Garnett for a pick-and-roll.
This is the Celtics' old routine this season. Rondo uses the screen to break through, and then returns to KG's mid-range shot.
This season the Celtics are the team that relies most on screens, passes and jump shots in the league.
Among the top five teams in the league in assists per game, Green Kai's points per game are the lowest. It can be seen that assists account for a higher proportion of their scores.
Rondo is very fast, so Millsap has to help Lowry guard him.
As a result, Rondo gave the ball steadily to KG who was temporarily left empty.
But when Garnett shot, Ryan made up the position in time to interfere with Garnett's shot!
KG's anti-interference ability is no longer as good as it used to be. Under Ryan's timely replacement interference, his jump shot hit the frame!
Rondo's pass still failed to help the team score!
He can find his teammates in the open position immediately, and Ryan can block the opponent in the open position immediately!
This greatly curbs the power of Rondo's passing!
Love grabbed a defensive rebound and the Celtics' offense failed again.
Ryan shrugged at Rondo: "The assist ability you are most proud of is not faster than my defense. Come on, score yourself!"
Pierce and Garnett can already predict what Rondo will experience tonight.
Ryan will completely destroy Rondo from the inside out!
Therefore, they also hurriedly dissuaded:
"Didn't your mother tell you not to talk to Ryan casually? Stop talking to him back!"
"Just play our game and don't irritate that guy's nerves!"
But Rondo, this man seems to have a coal mine hidden in his heart. Once ignited, it will never be extinguished until the enemy is burned to death, or himself is burned to death.
Therefore, the unconvinced Rondo still chose to fight to the end: "Shut up, Ryan, we all know that 2008 was the last time you won the championship. Tonight you will experience the pain of losing the finals in advance."
Garnett and Pierce both cursed secretly, why don't young people listen to advice?
If you don't control this kind of thing, you can easily kill yourself!
The Nuggets attacked again. Ryan took the ball outside the three-point line. The moment he received the ball, he took another step and started to break through. Then he took a step inside the three-point line and made a jump shot.
Pierce was completely unable to keep up with Ryan's rhythm, and Garnett's double attack was half a beat too slow.
But Rondo, who had been eyeing Ryan covetously, caught up at this time, and with quick eyes and quick hands, he reached out and successfully cut the ball from Ryan's hand who had just jumped up!
Rondo successfully forced Ryan to make a turnover!
Ronaldo is like most traditional star point guards. In addition to assists, he is also very good at defense. Last season, Rondo won the honor of first defense + steals.
Ryan had been very careful just now, but Rondo was still too fast.
And it was very accurate, almost hitting the center of the basketball with a slap. Coupled with the big hands, you can control the ball directly after cutting it off.
Rondo immediately counterattacked after completing the steal. Although Lowry blocked it immediately, Rondo made a beautiful change of hands and passed him directly, facing the basket!
All Celtic fans in the audience stood up. They are worthy of being a C player and worthy of being the hope of the Celtics in the future.
Stealing the ball from Ryan and turning it into a counterattack doesn't mean directly attacking the emperor!
Who would have dared to think about it before?
After Rondo passed Lowry, even Rondo was the only one in the field of view of the live broadcast camera.
But when Rondo jumped up for a layup, a black shadow quickly rushed in from the edge of the screen and approached Rondo.
Finally, the moment Rondo lifted the basketball and put it into the basket, the black shadow slapped the basketball directly, sending Rondo's entire ball flying out of the baseline! After Ryan was intercepted, he caught up with him at an incredible speed and immediately countered Rondo with a big chase!
Ryan's feud never lasts overnight! Not even more than one round apart!
Rondo rolled around on the ground and raised his head in surprise. What came into view was the scene of Ryan raising his arms to show off his muscles:
"I told you to keep a thin dog like you away from the restricted area, otherwise I might accidentally hurt you!"
At this time, Rondo really started to feel a little scared.
Under normal circumstances, counterattacking directly after stealing is a sure thing. He really didn't expect that Ryan could catch up!
Assists were stolen, layups were blocked. Every time Rondo made an effort, he was always just a little short of success!
Pippen was even more desperate. Now Ryan had all points, assists, rebounds, steals and blocks.
This guy doesn't want to be first in three statistics, but he wants to be first in the team in five statistics!
Fortunately, the ball still belongs to the Celtics.
However, after the sideline ball was kicked out, Pierce's mid-range one-on-one shot still missed.
Pierce was distraught and tugged at his new arm guards.
He just said that you can't wear protective gear for this kind of thing. If you wear protective gear, you won't be able to feel the ejaculation at all! But the team doctor just said it was safe to wear protective gear!
You see, you can't make a shot at all!
After Pierce hit the ball, Love was not under the basket because he had just thrown out to help defend Ray Allen, who got rid of the defender after using Davis's cover.
Then Pippen saw Ryan leaping high and easily receiving the defensive rebound.
Pippen even wanted to kneel down to Love, God of Love, I beg you, can you stop being so Buddhist?
Show your courage to get 20+ rebounds in a single game!
There's no way, the Celtics really rely too much on screens, and after Davis goes out to pick and roll Ray Allen, Love can't just watch Ray Allen shoot an open jumper.
Therefore, he can only leave the penalty area temporarily.
In the final analysis, it is Rivers' strategy that assists Ryan! Give him the opportunity to compete for rebounds again and again!
Pippen was already suffering from head pain, and in the next round, Pippen almost collapsed on the bench.
In this round, Lowry's pull-up jumper was struck by Rondo's tight defense.
But as expected, the Celtics lost another defensive rebound!
The big baby Davis pushed away Love and just jumped up to grab the ball, but was overtaken by Ryan in the air again, and watched helplessly as Ryan grabbed the rebound.
The Celtics quickly shrank, and four Celtic players immediately surrounded Ryan in a circle under the basket.
But Ryan passed the ball gently among the crowd and sent it to Love!
The hearts of all the Celtics players were chilled. There was only one question in their minds: "When did Kevin Love, this rebounding monster, appear on the three-point line?"
Rivers is about to collapse. Why did Big Baby, this idiot, miss Love again?
In fact, this is really not the fault of Big Baby, mainly because Love's positioning is so bad.
When Davis took off and grabbed the rebound, Love was already running silently beyond the three-point line.
Love doesn't just grab rebounds. His extremely high basketball IQ allows him to always make optimal moves.
Many people may overlook one thing - Love is also a second-generation ball player.
His father, Stan Love, briefly played in the NBA for four years. Although his career was mediocre, he passed on his love for basketball to his children.
People say that parents always hope that their children will make up for the regrets in their lives. The same is true for Stan Love. He has always hoped that his children can become great NBA players.
So while other children were watching Transformers, Love was watching Bill Walton's game videos.
While other children were playing game consoles, he was practicing basketball.
The strong basketball atmosphere since childhood allowed Love to accumulate excellent basketball awareness.
So although Mike Malone didn't deliberately arrange it, Love knew very well that his most correct choice at this time was not to grab rebounds with Ryan, but to find a position he liked while everyone's attention was on the penalty area. OK, catch the ball and shoot anytime!
So Love immediately gave up fighting for rebounds and took the time to look for shooting opportunities.
Even if Ryan can't catch the rebound, he can quickly retreat from the defense.
So, when Ryan grabbed the rebound and was surrounded, he immediately found Love, who had been ignored by the Celtics.
With an absolutely wide open space, Love once again shot a three-pointer, and the basketball hit the net!
Ryan and Love teamed up to completely dismember the Celtics defense!
Pippen felt dizzy. In this round alone, Ryan's rebounds and assists were both +1!
What the hell.
Love, you're an insider, what kind of three-pointer are you going to shoot?
Can you play like an inside man?
Another assist, Ryan glanced at Rondo proudly. It seems to be telling him that passing the ball is really not difficult.
The Celtics' defense had already lost sight of the other at this time. In order to attack on the line, it was difficult for them to protect the rebounds.
In order to protect the basket after Ryan grabs the rebound, they will leave a gap outside the three-point line.
The Celtics simply don't have a perfect solution right now.
While the Celtics' defense was bad, their offense was equally bad.
In this round, after Rondo took possession of the ball, he saw that it was Ryan leading the defense on him from outside the three-point line!
Ryan stood at the top of the arc outside the three-point line and patted the floor hard:
"Come on, bastard, now you have to prove yourself with a score, right? What kind of real man is he who can only pass the ball? Come on, let's have a fencing duel between men!"
Pippen looked at Ryan, who was excited and couldn't wait to completely destroy his opponent, as if he saw the shadow of the sadist No. 23.
This was what Jordan was like back then, no matter who provoked him, no matter how senior the person was, whether he was a young man or a veteran. Anyone who dares to challenge his authority will die!
But Rondo, as a commander, is not the kind of player who is easily taken advantage of.
Faced with Ryan's provocation, he was still calmly looking for teammates in the open space.
When Ray Allen finally got a chance by moving without the ball, Rondo put the ball in just the right position.
But Ryan, who was originally guarding Rondo, quickly took turns to fill in, blocking the space for this shot.
Ray Allen had no choice but to hand the ball to Rondo to reorganize.
But when Rondo received the basketball again, Ryan did not pounce back immediately. Instead, he strolled forward and pointed at the basket.
Long's famous shooting scene was completely unguarded, and it was officially born!
The three-pointers guided by Long have been very respected throughout his life, because when he opens up, everyone has to take a detour, and they don't dare to interfere with his magic around him!
Rondo was so angry that his lips were trembling when he saw Ryan despise him so much.
Now the situation with more C is very embarrassing. If you just vote, it would be really embarrassing if you fail to vote under such circumstances.
Break through, Ryan is waiting for him inside again, which is also a dead end.
Just pass the ball directly, it seems like he is afraid of Ryan.
He's not a human inside or out!
Rondo finally decided to give it a try. After all, this was a wide-open shot, and there was still a chance of scoring.
After all, Dona is also a player who scored 43 three-pointers last season. Brackets: In his career until last season, he scored a total of 43 three-pointers in four seasons.
After Long coached the ball, he went from believing in himself to doubting himself to giving up on himself completely. Because the flight trajectory of the basketball is crooked at first glance!
Sure enough, Rondo's three-pointer hit the front of the basket and bounced right into the hands of Ryan, who was standing near the free throw line.
Ryan didn't even try to grab it, he had to find him for the rebound!
Seeing this, Pippen was completely dumbfounded.
I’ve seen point guards assist and score points, but what kind of superb skill is assisting rebounds?
Rondo, you are such a fucking god of basketball!
Reggie Miller couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene: "Ryan and Rondo profoundly explained what trust between people means."
Rondo, who is extremely competitive, feels uncomfortable all over now. He wants to rush forward and fight Ryan.
But considering that after the fight started, Ryan had Artest next to him, and he only had Garnett who charged in the opposite direction, forget it, it wasn't worth it!
While Ryan was controlling the ball for half the court, he was shaking his head and yelling at Rondo to continue his output: "You're at this level and you have the nerve to argue with me? You're useless even if I give you a chance!"
Immediately afterwards, after Ryan attracted the Celtics to attack from the outside, he immediately gave the ball to Millsap.
Millsap then transferred the ball to Love under the basket.
Love scored again with a beautiful turning hook in the three-second zone!
Love's low-post ability is actually very average, but if he is playing a short inside player like Davis, it is still very easy.
Because the Celtics' defensive focus is on Ryan, all Love got today were easy offensive opportunities.
The Nuggets' offense went smoothly, and the Celtics had the momentum to be directly crushed by the Nuggets.
At this time, Reggie Miller patted Pippen on the shoulder:
"Scott, it seems that the Nuggets meeting a real championship team is not as embarrassing as you said."
Pippen smiled awkwardly, don't worry, don't worry, the point difference is not big anyway, the Celtics will definitely be able to get it back!
Then
Then the Celtics chased for a long time but couldn't catch up!
The Celtics, who reached a tiebreaker with the Lakers in the Finals last season, could only barely hold on to the score against the Nuggets tonight!
People don't know whether the Celtics are too weak or the Nuggets are really too strong!
The Nuggets have been leading the Celtics by 8 to 12 points tonight and have the game in their hands.
With this point difference, you would say the Celtics are completely doomed, but that's not the case.
But you have to say that the Celtics still have a chance, but they have been unable to further narrow the point difference.
Pippen felt itchy watching it, just like watching Tom and Jerry. Tom was always just a little bit close to succeeding, but he was always just a little bit short!
For a moment, Pippen wanted to go to Danny Ainge and sign a 10-day short contract with the Celtics, and then wear the jersey and go to the game!
Why? Is it so difficult to catch up with these points?
I think back when I was playing, such a point difference was nothing. I just had to use my strong personal ability and pass the ball to that braised egg!
Why is it that when we come to your place, the gap is just a few points but we can't bridge it? I really can’t understand it!
What makes Pippen even more nervous is that as the game progresses, Ryan's five basic statistics of points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks have always ranked first in the team in four!
Only scoring, because the Celtics focused all their defensive resources on Ryan, allowing Love, who has excellent touch, to get many opportunities, so it was Love who scored the most for the Nuggets today.
This is Pippen's only solace now.
If the Celtics can reverse the game in the end, Love can still maintain the team's leading score.
Then he can be saved!
Pippen was at the game today, and he didn't want to be humiliated by Ryan on the spot!
Finally, in the fifth minute of the third quarter, Pippen saw hope of a turning point in the game!
In the fifth minute of the third quarter, Ray Allen's three-pointer and Garnett's 2+1 under the basket allowed the Celtics to narrow the point difference to only 6 points.
Although Love soon responded with a mid-range shot, widening the point difference to 8 points again. But this wave of offensive still gave Pippen hope.
At least now, the Celtics have been able to close the point difference to within 8 points!
The Green Kai team is indeed the kind of tough team that would rather die than surrender.
If you continue to play like this, you will definitely be able to reverse the game!
At this point, Rivers paused the game.
Pippen also laughed. This pig-headed coach is not as bad as people say.
It seems that he still saw that the game had reached a critical point, so he suspended the game to make arrangements.
This timeout was called timely enough!
If he wins this game, Pippen must give Rivers a hard blow!
No, blow it now!
“Coach Rivers called the timeout very timely, and he is worthy of being a championship coach.
In fact, Rivers is one of the top three coaches I have ever seen in terms of coaching ability!
At this time, as long as the Celtics find a way to contain Love's offense, they can reverse the game in one breath!
Kevin Love didn't finish the three quarters and already scored 23 points.
He was ridiculously efficient today.
On the other hand, Ryan has only scored 13 points so far.
Therefore, the Nuggets can still take the lead entirely because of Love's extraordinary performance today.
Once the Celtics find a way to contain Love, Ryan will be finished!
So I say, Ryan is not that great, he just relies on his teammates.
Coach Rivers will let him know that soon! "
Reggie Miller couldn't believe that this was the Pippen who defeated him back then.
Does Alzheimer's disease appear so early now?
Is there anyone in this world who boasts about Rivers’ on-the-spot command?
Moreover, why did Ryan hug Love's thigh?
"Scott, although Love has the highest score, Ryan has grabbed an exaggerated 13 rebounds and sent 8 assists in three quarters!
At the same time, there were 2 steals and 2 blocks.
His influence on the game is everywhere! "
Pippen waved his hand disdainfully: "Those are irrelevant! After all, he is not the one who carried the team. It was Love who carried the team until now!"
Miller was convinced, and Madonna, who had only known Pippen before, said yes.
But I didn’t expect that he is still black now!
There is no way, Pippen's current position is to see Ryan lose to prove that he, an old-timer, knows the game well and to maintain his authority.
So until Ryan leads the team to win, he will not admit that Ryan is excellent.
The game soon restarted, and Pippen became excited when he saw the Celtics players gearing up.
During this timeout, the Celtics should have found a way to contain Love, right?
As long as Love is held down, the Celtics will be able to complete the reversal!
In the first round after returning from the timeout, Pippen climaxed.
In this attack, Garnett used a rare force to get to the basket, and faced Millsap, who was a head shorter than him, and forced a layup!
Rivers has discovered that the Nuggets' interior hardness is actually a major shortcoming.
Therefore, he needs Garnett to bravely attack the basket directly to improve the team's offensive efficiency.
The point difference is back to 6 points. Next, it depends on the Celtics' defensive adjustments! As long as you can prevent it, the game will immediately become anxious!
After Lowry took possession of the ball and attacked, Ryan continued to stretch the Celtics' defense by running without the ball as usual.
Love and Millsap played a "block-in" cooperation, with Millsap setting an off-ball screen for Love, and Love was able to go outside the three-point line to catch the ball and shoot.
Lowry also followed the script and gave the ball to Love as he did before.
But this time, Love didn't get a direct shot, nor did he get a one-on-one opportunity with big baby Davis.
Because the Celtics actually used their signature multi-player pressure on Love!
Champion Rivers' thoughts slightly coincide with Pippen's. He also believes that the Nuggets' offense today relies too much on Love, who has a hot hand.
Although the Celtics lost a lot of rebounds, most of the second offensive opportunities were when Ryan passed to the outside and assisted his teammates in shooting.
Therefore, Rivers believes that as long as he can guard Love, he can contain the Nuggets' firepower.
Of course, the Celtics have not forgotten Ryan's attack point.
But in Rivers' view, it is difficult for Love to play the ball under the pressure of many people.
Moreover, he also arranged for Rondo to focus on Love's passing route to Ryan.
As long as Love cannot give the ball to Ryan immediately when being pressed, then this defense will be considered a success!
Pippen saw that Love was struggling to hold the ball under the combined pressure of Davis and Garnett, and he clenched his fists in excitement.
But then, Love still hit the ball to Ryan from the gap between the two!
Rivers underestimated Love's support ability. Although his passing is not up to the level of Jokic and Olajuwon, he is by no means the kind of rough inside guy who will make mistakes with a little pressure.
But being able to pass the ball is not enough. Rondo has been eyeing this pass.
Upon seeing this, Rondo immediately started, trying to get the ball out of the way.
But Ryan didn't stand there waiting for the ball. Instead, he took the initiative to run towards the basketball. Ryan and Rondo collided with each other midway. Rondo naturally couldn't take any advantage and was pushed away by Ryan.
Ryan also got the basketball securely!
After getting the basketball, Ryan didn't hesitate, turned around and headed inside!
At this time, because Davis and Garnett were both pressing Love, there was no one inside the Celtics basket for a while!
Pierce hurriedly stood under the basket, trying to stop Ryan. Rondo also immediately grabbed Ryan's jersey from the side, trying to prevent him from getting close to the basket.
But Ryan, who was already charging, could not be stopped by Pierce and Rondo.
At this time, Ryan's desire to score was extremely high, because he never expected that idiot Rivers would actually relax his defense!
Rivers may not realize that the Nuggets have been unable to take away the game because he successfully restricted Ryan, leaving the Nuggets to rely on Love to attack.
But now he actually took the initiative to relax his defense against Ryan
Since the other party gave such a big gift, Ryan naturally had to be respectful rather than obey!
As a result, people saw Ryan, like a crazy lion, dragging Rondo into the inside and leaping up.
Rondo jumped up from the side to stop, but was knocked over by Ryan in the air. After knocking over Rondo, Ryan pushed the ball into the frame with one hand through Pierce, who also jumped up to block the ball, and performed a domineering one-two dunk!
Rondo fell directly to the ground, Pierce flew out of the baseline, and Ryan dunked alone, making them extremely embarrassed!
This is the result of shifting the defensive focus away from Ryan!
Pippen licked his dry lips. Why was this picture completely different from what he imagined?
Didn't he say that if he guarded Love's thigh, Ryan would be useless?
Why is Ryan so fierce? Under the double defense of Rondo and Pierce, they can both dunk.
Ryan's dunk pushed the point difference to 8 points again.
He also did not forget to remind the Celtic players: "I said, you will never catch up. Even if it is just a little bit behind, you will never lead again!"
This goal made the powerful Celtics feel a little desperate. They thought that the offense was finally improving, but as long as they thought of a way on the defensive end, they would be able to reverse the situation.
As a result, Ryan actually forced the ball in with two people hanging on him, pushing the point difference to 8 points.
Looking at the damn points, why can’t I catch up?
After that, the Celtics' offense began to stop going smoothly.
This time Garnett forced an attack on the frame and missed due to frontal interceptions from Millsap and Love!
Garnett has been able to succeed many times before, mainly because neither Love nor Millsap expected him to be so brave and was caught off guard.
But when the two of them were prepared, Garnett's strong attack was not very effective.
During this period, KG, to put it bluntly, is a player averaging 14 and 15 points per game. How strong can he be in attacking?
Love grabbed the rebound and then passed a long pass to Ryan for a direct counterattack.
Ryan slowed down his pace slightly when he ran outside the three-point line. At the same time, Rondo, the fastest runner, had already caught up with Ryan.
After discovering that the Celtics' defensive focus was still leaning towards Love, Ryan completely ignored Rondo in front of him and took a shot directly from outside the three-point line!
Rondo felt miserably despised again, and Ryan didn't seem to care whether Rondo was in front of him at all.
Although Rondo's wingspan is very abnormal, Ryan's extremely fast shooting speed still allows him to throw the ball before being interfered with.
Rondo immediately turned his head, only to see the basketball fall directly into the net!
The score difference was 11 points. Reggie Miller said bluntly: "After Coach Rivers' adjustments, the Celtics seem to be losing points faster!"
Pippen:.
Indeed, the Celtics thought that by shifting the focus of defense to Love and then limiting Love's passing, they would complete the defense perfectly.
In fact, doing so will only give Ryan an easier scoring opportunity.
The Celtics' current defense is difficult to deal with a team with two powerful firepower points on the outside.
This is also the reason why they were swept by the Heat Gentlemen in their original history.
In the original history, the Heat's record against the Celtics in the 2011 regular season was 1 win and 3 losses, but in the playoffs, they swept the Celtics 4-1.
The reason is that Spoelstra changed his strategy. In the regular season, he let James organize and let Wade seek opportunities in the mid-range.
But in the playoffs, he asked James and Wade to act as left and right fists and attack at the same time!
When the Celtics' focus was on James, who was running without the ball, Wade could hunt down Ray one-on-one with peace of mind.
And when the Celtics couldn't bear it anymore and shifted the pressure from many people to Wade, James could do whatever he wanted without encountering encirclement and suppression.
So the Heat defeated the Celtics 4-1. In that series, Wade averaged 30.2 points per game and James averaged 28 points per game. The Celtics' defense against James was completely at the expense of the other.
This is also the reason why James needs to unite. He is afraid of being beaten by the Celtics, but he needs Wade so much. With Wade, it will be easy to kill the Celtics' Big Three.
Now the Celtics are facing the same dilemma when facing the Nuggets. Both Love and Ryan have excellent firepower. Previously, the Celtics mainly defended Ryan, so Love scored 23 points before finishing the third quarter.
But now that they are guarding Love, Ryan can step up and solve the problem!
This Celtics team is fine against a single-core scoring team.
But if two people use their powerful firepower at the same time, it will be a bit overwhelming!
The difference between Ryan and Love is that when Love is mainly attacking, the Celtics can still see some hope of winning.
But when Ryan is on offense, he won't let the Celtics slowly suffer.
The speed at which he can open up the points difference will be much faster!
This three-pointer was Ryan's warm-up!
With an 11-point difference hanging over the Celtics' heads, Rivers' timeout caused the situation to suddenly turn upside down.
Then the Celtics attacked and Ray Allen made a three-pointer. After the Nuggets attacked, Lowry handed the ball to Love.
Love, on the other hand, forced a three-pointer against Davis before Garnett came up from the double attack.
But shooting a three-pointer was not the goal. After the basketball hit, because Davis and Garnett were guarding Love from outside the three-point line, Ryan easily grabbed the offensive rebound again!
Under the basket, Ryan pushed past Rondo, jumped up on the spot and dunked right past Pierce!
The score difference is 13 points!
Rivers' arrangement successfully accelerated the death of the Celtics!
Unconsciously, Ryan's score has reached 20 points!
It's just one step away from Love.
Pippen's hands were trembling, and Ryan was just a little short of becoming the team's top scorer!
His only hope is now shattered!
The most successful second-in-command in history slammed the table angrily:
"Coach Rivers' decision-making is simply criminal. How can he relax his defense on Ryan? He should continue to strictly contain Ryan!
Coach Doc Rivers is simply the most unreasonable coach I have ever seen! "
Rivers assisted Ryan to grab a rebound before, and now he assists Ryan to score. Are you a dot-reading machine? If Ryan doesn’t know where to click, you can answer everything for Ryan!
Co-author: The coach in the league who can best unleash Ryan’s potential is you!
Deliberately call a timeout and let the opponent open the score after the timeout. Rivers, Boston Li Tie!
This game was so fake!
Reggie Miller deliberately reminded Pippen at this time:
"But, just now you said that Coach Rivers is the coach you admire most, one of the top three coaches in history.
Stop appreciating it so quickly? "
"Ah this."
Pippen knew that the boomerang he had just thrown had hit his face accurately.
But it doesn't matter. As long as the Celtics don't lose this game, there is still hope for him to save his face!
As long as he can hold down Ryan once and hold on to this momentum for a little while, there will still be a chance for the game!
The Nuggets counterattacked again. This time, Love kept running without the ball, pulling on the Celtics' defense.
On the Celtics side, Rondo volunteered to defend Ryan!
Rondo was humiliated by Ryan today, but he refused to admit defeat and always wanted to find an opportunity to respond to Ryan.
This time on defense, Rondo decided to give it a try! If you can prevent it, you can at least save some thin noodles.
Ryan looked at Rondo lying in front of him and couldn't help laughing: "Coach Rivers asked you to surrender?"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Rondo must know that his confrontation ability is completely unable to compete with Ryan.
Therefore, the only way he can defend Ryan is to steal.
Rondo is still very confident in his ability to steal you. He had cut off Ryan once before, so he felt that he could do the same this time.
Ryan naturally doesn't have stage fright, so he must seize this one-on-one opportunity.
So Ryan started dribbling with his left and right hands alternately while observing Rondo's movements.
After approaching Rondo, Ryan accelerated to the left to break through. Rondo quickly stretched out his arm while moving along! Like a poisonous snake attacking!
But Ryan is waiting for now!
Ryan knew very well that Rondo's only chance to defend himself was to steal.
But stealing is very risky. If you can't steal it, you will most likely lose your defensive position.
Therefore, Ryan has been observing Rondo's hands. As long as Rondo makes a move, Ryan will immediately make another change of direction to avoid the steal and pass Rondo at the same time.
He succeeded. Rondo's hand had already stretched out very quickly, but he still missed it. Ryan's change of direction avoided the steal. Not only did Rondo fail to steal the ball, he also lost his defensive position because his center of gravity shifted forward.
The most terrible thing is that Rondo rushed forward because his center of gravity was too much, so he jumped forward and fell forward!
He was knocked down directly by Ryan!
A striker knocked down a point guard, and the fans in front of the TV were completely excited!
Pippen is completely cool!
But Rondo is unwilling to give in. He doesn't want to become Ryan's background.
So, after being knocked to the ground, he reached out and grabbed Ryan's jersey, hoping to stop Ryan in this way.
It can be seen that Rondo is anxious, but it is useless to be anxious.
Ryan still made a tough layup even though his jersey was being pulled, which made Rondo even more embarrassed!
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded and Rondo was given a foul.
Ryan got a 2+1 opportunity and was about to get the 23rd point of the game and widen the point difference to 16 points!
The speed at which Ryan widened the gap was indeed very fast! Coach Rivers committed suicide very quickly!
Rivers, the only owner of Lane's instruction manual!
At this time, the North Shore Garden was completely silent, and the fans in front of the TV were also talking and salivating.
Today all fans have seen how powerless the team from last season's finals was in front of the Nuggets!
It seems that the championship is really only temporarily lent to the Celtics and Lakers, because as long as Ryan wants, he can take it back at any time!
Because a championship team like the Celtics has no power to fight back against the Nuggets!
After scoring, Ryan turned around, shook off Rondo's hand grabbing his clothes, and then spread his hands:
"Congratulations, you have perfectly completed the task of raising the white flag!"
Pippen was sweating profusely as he looked at Rondo, who was sitting on the ground in a state of utter embarrassment and embarrassed the whole country.
Because he knows very well that Rondo is just an appetizer.
After the game is over, he who has been belittling Ryan before the game will become the real clown today!
"Ryan, like McQueen, relies on his teammates."
"He has the ability to rank first on the team in three statistics."
"It would be very embarrassing for the Nuggets to meet a real championship team like the Celtics."
"Not all teams after three consecutive championships return to the top for many years. After all, Ryan is not me."
Everything Pippen said before became a joke tonight.
Pippen, who thought he would never be slapped in the face, completely fell over Ryan.
A clown king is officially born tonight!
