Chapter 218: Even if you enter zone mode, you still can’t beat Ryan! ? There is only one legend in P
Tim Duncan felt a little desperate about his career at this time.
Because his body is no longer as strong as it once was, his average data per game has also dropped to the point where it is worse than even his rookie season.
Although Idiot is not the kind of person who is obsessed with statistics, who can be happy to see his dominance on the court visibly declining?
What's even more despairing is that this era is also filled with all kinds of perverted characters who are difficult to defeat.
A Kobe, a Ryan, and Duncan sometimes don't know what defense means to them.
Their ability to force points on defense is simply outrageous.
Just like just now, Ryan Nima was able to hit a shot despite three people.
The Spurs' defensive trap had clearly successfully "captured" Ryan just now.
The results of it? It really goes with that sentence, as long as you are strong enough, even the Immortal Jump can't jump you, because you are already done before others come in.
The same is true for Ryan's offense. He has already scored before he can cover the ball.
Therefore, Duncan's mentality at this time is relatively negative.
He didn't know if he could win the championship again when his strength was declining and he had an opponent like Ryan.
In fact, this was also the case in the original history. At this time, Duncan felt that he was really about to retire.
Until that man appeared and gave him hope.
In 2013, Duncan discovered that he could actually reach the tiebreaker with him.
In 2014, Duncan miraculously defeated him and won another championship.
If not for his appearance, Duncan would have retired long ago!
This is why James is so loved, he is really selfless!
In Jordan's era, no one except Jordan himself had a chance to stand out.
Olajuwon was able to win two championships, but he did so while Danzi was working on his side job.
But in James' era, he never suppressed anyone, and even praised many people!
From the 10s to the 20s, in the so-called era, he was not even the person who won the most championships!
In such a comparison, Jordan's pattern is simply too small!
Some people only care about winning the championship, while others have created so many heroic stories in which a hundred schools of thought contend.
The pattern of the two is very different.
But Ryan also said that he is not James.
He won't leave any hope to Duncan!
After this goal, when Ryan told the French fans to shut up again, the boos at the scene really became quieter.
Ryan's terror has simply subverted French fans' understanding of basketball.
Tony Parker clenched his fists. He didn't want his hometown performance night to be ruined by Ryan.
Who wants to lose at home?
Today is my night!
The French sports car immediately attacked. He used Duncan's cover to break through Lowry, but Millsap changed defense in time this time and blocked Parker's breakthrough route.
Seeing Parker slow down, Lowry took the opportunity to return to him. At the same time, Millsap went back to guard Duncan without missing a beat. This time, the cooperation between the garbage brothers in guarding the pick-and-roll was quite perfect.
But after Parker was blocked by Lowry, he directly showed his signature turn and passed by the small steel cannon.
Lowry was a little surprised. Parker turned around just one step inside the three-point line?
Under normal circumstances, Parker uses this move to attack the frame.
Turning around and attacking the frame directly without pausing is the most difficult move for Parker to defend.
But this time, because he was still far away from the basket, it was impossible for Parker to turn around and directly attack the frame.
Parker brushed past Lowry, and then under Lowry's shocked gaze, he turned around and made a floating mid-range shot!
Although Parker's finishing efficiency in the penalty area even surpasses that of many centers, his shooting has never been outstanding.
Not to mention the three-pointer, whether the mid-range shot can be made depends on the sky.
Therefore, even French fans were a little surprised to see Parker choose to attack in such a difficult way.
This is no less than when Chinese fans saw Yao Ming suddenly showing off his crotch dribbling. They were attacking in a way they were not good at.
But in the end, Parker's extremely difficult turnaround jumper landed firmly in the net!
His goal allowed the Spurs to temporarily interrupt the Nuggets' momentum and continue to maintain the lead!
Lowry looked at the basketball entering the net and felt incredible.
Damn it. Is this still Parker?
What kind of soft ball did your boy control last night when he got home? You can actually control the feel of your hands so softly!
In fact, Parker's shooting has begun to improve this season.
Moreover, fighting in his hometown today, Parker is indeed in good condition.
Don't forget that after Parker knocked down Lowry in the first round, he also made the ball from the mid-range.
Parker helped the team regain the lead, and then Millsap's three-pointer boosted the Spurs' morale even more!
Ryan thought that the team's morale had almost improved now, so he started to attract Duncan to double attack, and then distributed the ball to Millsap.
As a result, Millsap still missed the three-pointer, wasting an excellent opportunity.
It seems that the Nuggets' inability to shoot today is not just a matter of morale.
The field and feel are also factors that affect the three-point shooting percentage, and Ryan cannot help his teammates improve these two items.
Blair pushed off Love to grab a defensive rebound, and the Spurs successfully completed the defense.
The stocky second-year forward immediately handed the ball to Parker, who flew across the court as the fans cheered.
At that moment, he felt that he had entered a certain state, a state of doing whatever he wanted!
Anyone who has played basketball knows that once or twice, you will enter a magical zone state.
The concept of zone state was first proposed in the NBA by Winter, the master of the triangle offense. He used the zone to describe the near-invincible state that Jordan entered after having a complete understanding of the situation on the court during a certain period of time in the triangle offense.
Once you enter this state you will feel like you are capable of anything and everything. When you enter this state when playing, your shots will be particularly accurate and your shots will be particularly confident.
The Zone state is different from simply having a good feel. Once you enter the Zone state, it is as if the two channels of Ren and Du have been opened. You are omnipotent and can perform some very exaggerated and incredible performances.
For example, after Kobe enters zone mode, he will always score all kinds of outrageous goals despite tight defense.
After Curry enters zone mode, it gives the impression that he can score even with a casual throw from outside the three-point line, and he can even perform dunks that even the great Dr. J has not been able to do.
The same goes for Chinese players. Once Mr. Zhu enters zone mode, it is no exaggeration to say that he can literally hit the entire court.
As the emperor of Cleveland, Ajan naturally enters the zone mode sometimes. Once he enters this mode, he can often suddenly display silky steps like a limping wave, and break into the penalty area at will.
There is even a zone mode that cannot be turned off once it is turned on. Back then, Harden was put into a zone state by Artest, and he was directly zoned out of his entire peak period.
Parker felt like entering zone mode at this time. The moment he got the ball, he felt full of power.
He hit the basket, met Lowry's block, changed direction, stepped back, and made another mid-range jump shot!
This time Popovich was stunned for a moment. The step-back jump shot is a technical move that Parker rarely uses in actual combat.
This bastard, he is a little too proud in front of the folks! This is simply nonsense!
Should I scold him and wake him up?
As a result, just when Popovich was worried, Parker's mid-range step-back jumper actually hit again!
Following the mid-range shot that turned and drifted just now, Parker scored another goal that was not within his ability!
After the ball was scored, the cheers of the fans were like a volcano erupting.
At this moment, Popovich finally knew why Parker was able to perform like this.
When you play in front of your own country's fans, in front of everyone who supports you.
That feeling is completely different from usual.
No matter whether Parker is a Spurs player or not, as a foreign player, his sense of belonging in San Antonio will always be limited.
But in Paris, Parker's sense of belonging was infinitely strengthened.
The cheers of the fans here are simply an endless buff for Parker.
Parker once again pushed from the backcourt to the frontcourt and scored in a one-stop process. The Spurs were not directly overtaken by the powerful Nuggets, but took the lead again by 4 points!
This is the strongest resistance Paris has had in many years!
It can be seen that Parker is indeed in good condition today.
This is why offensive teams dare to win against any strong team. Again, once an offensive team feels better, its upper limit will be raised infinitely.
Today, although Ryan locked up Ginobili, Parker stepped up and raised the upper limit of the Spurs' offensive firepower.
Immediately following the Nuggets' offense, Wesley Matthews' three-pointer also popped out of the frame.
Fortunately, Love grabbed the offensive rebound and passed the ball to Ryan outside the three-point line.
This time, Ryan didn't want to pass it again.
Ryan knows very well that if the iron is struck a few more times, the Spurs' momentum will become higher and higher.
Facing such an offensive team, once they go crazy, it will be difficult to contain them.
Therefore, Ryan must ensure the success rate of the offense.
He has to score his own points!
But now, because the Nuggets have not yet made a three-pointer, the biggest effect of the one-star four-shooter tactic has not been revealed.
In other words, the team did not create enough singles space for Ryan.
But Ryan is not afraid. He can score easily after opening up, but it is difficult to score without opening up.
But no matter what, you can still score!
In this way, Ryan started scoring mode in advance amid the Spurs' tight defense!
Richard Jefferson faced Ryan's breakthrough this time and predicted the right direction in advance.
But at the moment of confrontation with Jefferson, Ryan suddenly changed his direction and passed him skillfully!
After breaking through Jefferson, Ryan did not choose to make a pull-up jump shot.
Although the jump shot against three people just went in, shooting against the defense is not a long-term solution after all.
This time, Ryan chose to attack the frame directly against Duncan with his arms raised high!
In the air, Ryan twisted his waist and abdomen, trying to make a 360° turn in the air for a layup.
But halfway through, Ryan saw from the corner of his eye that DeJuan Blair had sneaked in to cover up the defense, hoping to give Ryan a surprise hot pot after Ryan turned around.
At this time, because Ryan was forced to the left, it was difficult for him to pass up in the air and directly pass through the crowd and pass the ball to Love, who was left empty in the right corner.
If you turn around 360°, you will definitely take risks. Just pass the ball, the probability of making a mistake is too high.
No matter which of these two situations occurs, it will give the Spurs an easy opportunity to counterattack.
So, Ryan chose to twist his body back in the air!
Being able to twist his waist and abdomen to make a 360° turn in the air is already impressive, but after Ryan turned his body halfway, he twisted his body in the opposite direction, and then forcibly interrupted his turn and twisted back to the other side! Just like that, Ryan avoided Blair's block and twisted the ball in the air like a twist!
After just hitting a pull-up jumper under the defense of three people, Ryan performed another amazing score!
Seeing this scene, the Woodpecker models probably have to consider whether they have the strength to take on Ryan alone. With a waist like Ryan's, I'm afraid two people would have to work together! This waist and abdomen, this core strength, I really can't bear it if I don't find someone to share it with!
Blair was also confused. Is this the ability of the strongest player in the world?
Although Blair doesn't block many shots, in his opinion, the opportunity just now is a sure shot.
As a result, not only was Ryan able to forcefully terminate his turn in the air, but he was also able to score a goal in such an awkward situation!
After Ryan scored, he deliberately glanced at Parker.
He seemed to be telling the little sports car: "Today, even if you Parker really becomes the French Jordan, I will still have to knock you down!"
They are all offensive teams, and they can all push their ceiling upwards.
Ryan wants to see whether it is you, the Spurs, who has the higher ceiling, or the Nuggets, who has the higher ceiling!
Parker also knew that his biggest opponent today was not Lowry, but Ryan.
Everyone is an offensive team, so we must compete to see who is more durable and who has greater volume.
However, Parker is still very confident in his offense today.
Although Parker's highest scoring season in his career so far was only 22 points per game, which is incomparable to Ryan in terms of statistics.
But Parker's lackluster data is actually related to Popovich's strategy.
You can't be selfish when you play under Popovich.
The score was too high, but he still got scolded by that old bastard.
Therefore, averaging 22 points per game is not Parker's highest level.
Moreover, Parker feels that after entering the zone state at home today, he will definitely perform better than usual.
Also, the Spurs' defensive resources are always better than the Nuggets.
Ryan needs to face Richard Jefferson, Dewaan Blair and defensive lineup wholesaler Duncan.
All Parker needs to face are Lowry, Love and Millsap.
In Parker's view, it is even easier to score goals.
In addition, Ryan also needs some energy to defend Ginobili, and Parker himself only needs to play offense.
Therefore, he is confident that he can leapfrog and kill Ryan in the confrontation!
As a result, the subsequent game became a personal battle between Parker and Ryan.
Both shuttled freely through the opponent's defense and scored wonderful goals one after another.
Today Ginobili was locked up by Ryan, so Parker greatly increased the proportion of his shots.
On the Nuggets side, because today's teammates have average three-point shooting skills, although they are not unable to make any three-pointers, their efficiency is indeed not high. Therefore, Ryan also increased the proportion of his shots.
Parker and Ryan contributed most of the highlights of today's French game.
In the seventh minute of the first quarter, Parker singled out Lowry. He first accelerated to the left and tried to catch the ball with speed, but was blocked by Lowry.
Parker, who suffered a loss in the confrontation, immediately stopped and then changed hands from left to right in an attempt to change direction again.
Just as Lowry continued to move laterally to block, Parker, who had just switched the ball to his right hand, immediately changed direction to the left again! After three consecutive changes, Parker completely shook Lowry away and entered the penalty area for a layup!
Today, Parker, who was completely liberated, fully displayed his talents.
However, as soon as Parker scored the goal, Ryan broke through along the baseline and performed a lever dunk, giving the Nuggets a 2-point lead again.
At the end of the first quarter, Ryan used a pull-up three-pointer to widen the point difference to 5 points in the last 5.3 seconds.
Who knew that within 5 seconds, Parker passed the old Miller who came on the bench from the backcourt, advanced to the frontcourt, and then hit a pull-up jumper at the buzzer from outside the three-point line!
After the first quarter, the Spurs and Nuggets tied 31 to 33, with both sides scoring very high.
Ryan scored 15 points in a single quarter and Parker scored 11 points in a single quarter.
Although they were behind, the Spurs at least managed to hold on to the score in the first quarter despite Ryan's explosion!
This made the French fans at the scene very happy. Tonight, Paris will be immortal!
In the second quarter, Ginobili's several offensive attempts were blocked by Ryan.
The Nuggets' three-point shooting percentage is also "tacitly" still unstable.
It seems that the two teams deliberately let Ryan and Parker brush each other in good faith.
Parker was still like a god in the second quarter, scoring some goals that even Popovich found unbelievable.
In the third minute of the second quarter, when the attack time was running out, he forced a three-pointer against Lowry's defense. You know, this is a person who is usually unstable in open three-pointers.
In the sixth minute, Parker broke into the paint and met Millsap, who came up to defend.
Even though his body was crooked after being hit by Millsap, almost parallel to the ground, he still scored the ball!
There is no doubt that Parker performed extremely well today.
Throughout the second quarter, he once again scored 12 points in a single quarter.
Scored 24 points at halftime!
It simply elevated the Spurs' offense to a level far beyond normal.
But after the second quarter, the French fans couldn't laugh anymore.
Because no fans or players can laugh when their team falls behind!
That's right, when Tony Parker scored 24 points at halftime, when he had stretched the Spurs' offensive ceiling to infinite heights.
However, the Spurs still trailed the Nuggets by 5 points at halftime!
Because Ryan scored 29 points in the half!
The Spurs fell behind in the first quarter, and French fans could comfort themselves by saying that in this case it was only a matter of time before the Spurs took over.
But in the second quarter, when Parker continued to perform brilliantly but still failed to lead his team to the lead, French fans panicked.
Is it possible that after entering zone mode, Parker still can't beat Ryan? ?
In the second quarter of the game, when the team's three-point shooting was average and the offensive space was not completely opened up, Ryan's goal was still efficient.
And he did it better than Parker!
Parker originally felt that the advantage on the offensive end today was entirely his.
But in actual comparison, it is completely different from what I imagined!
Parker felt a chill down his spine at this time. He tried his best, but still couldn't surpass Ryan in scoring.
This made Parker feel a little scared.
At halftime, Mike Breen compared this game to the Nuggets' previous game against the Bulls.
Because in that game against the Bulls, Ryan also exploded with points in the first half, but became much gentler in the second half.
Because in the second half of the game, after his teammates warmed up, Ryan no longer needed to do it himself.
Therefore, Mike Breen believes that the Nuggets have the same strategy today:
“In the first half, the Nuggets’ three-point shooting rate was very unsatisfactory, only 4 of 13 shots, two of which were made by Ryan himself.
So, Ryan had to take over both offense and defense.
But in the second half, Ryan should increase the number of passes and reduce independent attacks.
However, if the Nuggets' three-point touch has not recovered, Ryan may have a harder time. "
As a result, as soon as the second half started, Lowry's three-pointer was an instant hit.
This script is completely different from the Bulls scene.
In the Bulls game, after the team regained its touch in the second half, Ryan no longer had to play so hard.
But today, the team's feel does not seem to have recovered!
The Nuggets had just made a breakthrough when Parker broke through and assisted Duncan to score 2+1 at the basket, narrowing the point difference to 2 points.
Ryan curled his lips. It seemed that the Spurs really didn't give him a chance to let his teammates test their skills today.
Okay, okay, you have to fight like this, right?
Then play with Parker to the end!
Seeing that Lowry still missed the three-pointer, Popovich ordered to continue to guard Ryan closely.
Even when Ryan is moving without the ball, the Spurs' defensive focus is completely biased towards Ryan.
Duncan would rather block Ryan's cutting path than take a look at Love smoking alone in the corner.
After Lowry passed the ball to Love with a long pass, the UCLA power forward made another three-pointer.
As a result, the basket let out another painful wail.
Mike Malone is convinced, and Love didn't discuss American ball-handling training methods with the French girl yesterday!
He was originally worried about Ryan, but in the end, everyone except Ryan seemed to have done it!
I asked you to come to France to play basketball, but I didn’t ask you to come to France to be a basket quality inspector!
Love has scored 8 points on 9 shots so far. With your shooting percentage, you might as well not go back to Denver and just transfer to Paris on the spot!
There is no way, Duncan may be born with a horoscope of Crawford. The Spurs and Nuggets met twice, and Love's performance was not good.
The Nuggets are hitting the iron again, and the engine of the French sports car is already roaring, ready to hit the basket at any time.
DeJuan Blair jumped toward the basketball, preparing to protect the backboard.
But Ryan also appeared in the air at this time, and took advantage of the aerial confrontation, pushing the strong Dejuan Blair off the track.
Ryan once again came from behind to grab an offensive rebound!
After landing, Ryan did not pass the ball out, but jumped directly on the spot for a layup.
Blair, who lost the rebound, naturally refused to agree and quickly took off twice to block Ryan. In an instant, the entire basket was covered by Blair, who had excellent second-takeoff ability.
The sports medicine community has always wanted to study Blair in slices, because this guy had excellent continuous jumping ability even though his bilateral cruciate ligaments were reimbursed in high school.
Blair quickly jumped into the air and covered the basket with his long arms. Blocking Ryan seemed to be a sure thing.
Well, another "certain" block.
Blair had a chance to block Ryan before, but Ryan's operation of forcibly terminating the turn was indeed too outrageous.
But this time, Ryan took off for a layup. Blair still didn't believe that Ryan could do his job under such circumstances.
It can only be said that Blair still underestimated the ability of a dynasty player.
For most people, there is really no room for trouble when jumping for a layup, but Ryan has never been that majority!
Ryan, who had just lifted the ball, immediately twisted his body in the air, turned 180°, turned his back to Blair, and then retracted the basketball to avoid the block. And when his body started to fall, he changed hands and threw the ball back, and the basketball hit the board and into the net!
Ryan easily completed a spin and pull-up layup after taking off on the spot!
The point difference returned to 4 points. With the Nuggets still missing three points, Ryan used his personal firepower to still score successfully and refused to give the Spurs a chance to take the lead!
Blair couldn't believe his eyes. Even if he just forcibly terminated his turn in the air, how could he still perform a turn lever while jumping on the spot?
There is no way, Blair only entered the league last season, and Ryan only played a dozen games last season due to injury, including the Spurs.
Therefore, Blair, who has never fought against Ryan in person, naturally does not understand how strong Ryan is.
Before, Blair thought Ryan was just like other stars.
But now he understands that Ryan's strength is a completely different concept!
It seems to be very strong, but Jordan's strength is on another level!
The shot that Blair was determined to win missed again. He simply couldn't imagine where Ryan had so many tricks.
In fact, with Ryan's physical fitness, he has very few tricks on the basketball court.
The tricks he does in the kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom and dressing room are endless.
It's a pity that most people can't see those tricks.
The whole audience was once again so frightened that they could not speak. Mike Breen sighed with emotion: "If God were to play basketball, this would probably be it!"
Ryan was calm and composed after scoring goals, as if scoring these goals was within his power.
Mike Breen seemed to notice something, so he approached the microphone: "French fans had better not blink, because they are about to witness a great scoring performance!"
Just now, when Ryan grabbed an offensive rebound, Mike Breen saw Millsap in a wide open space.
But Ryan unusually did not look for teammates in the open space, but directly jumped from the spot to attack the frame.
Mike Breen knew that this was a sign that Ryan was ready to go all out.
This season, Ryan has only been on full fire for one half, no, one quarter, when playing against the Bulls.
In the second half, after his teammates regained their touch, Ryan returned to the gentle Ryan who played team basketball.
And today, when the Nuggets still didn't feel much recovered in the second half, Ryan decided to attack to the end!
Mike Breen is mentally prepared anyway. No matter how high the Nuggets' offensive ceiling is stretched today, he won't be surprised!
The game continues, and the French fans are no longer able to jump up and down.
Of course they knew how good Parker was today, but even though he was already so good, he was still suppressed by Ryan.
The next time they defended, the Nuggets were not stupid. They also shifted their defensive focus to Parker.
This time, when Parker broke through Lowry and entered the penalty area, a bunch of players wearing sky blue jerseys of the Nuggets shrank around him.
Parker jumped in the crowd, trying to score with a difficult lever.
But even for Parker who was in the zone, this shot was a bit too difficult.
Although Parker's shooting percentage is very high today, he can't score any outrageous goals.
The French fans at the scene all had chills running down their spines. Will Ryan be able to take the opportunity to expand his advantage next?
Parker and Ryan are both killing each other like crazy, so the defensive levels they encounter are actually about the same.
So Ryan's offense in this round was also surrounded by a bunch of Spurs players after breaking through.
With Ryan's passing ability, he can now pass the ball to either Love or Millsap.
But Ryan also knows that once they strike, it will be equivalent to giving the Spurs another chance to breathe.
This time I managed to strangle the Spurs again, so I might as well strangle them to death and never let go!
Therefore, Ryan decided to force himself under the basket!
After he was surrounded, he first raised the basketball on the spot and made a fake shot. Blair and Jefferson were instantly knocked away.
From the fans' perspective, they may not understand why such a simple fake move can stun people.
But the mentality on the basketball court is completely different from the mentality in the audience.
When you are highly focused and nervous, the slightest movement from the other party will really make you react immediately.
However, Ryan was surrounded by three people in the penalty area this time. Blair and Jefferson were sent flying, but Duncan, who has basic skills, still stood under the basket with his arms raised high!
The French fans waved their fists happily, and the defense still depends on Lao Dengtou!
Now, it is impossible for Ryan to continue scoring!
However, after Ryan named Jefferson and Blair, he directly ignored Duncan, who was standing in front of him with his arms raised high. He jumped directly on the spot and hit Duncan with a powerful one-handed chop! Ryan used a shark-style attack under the basket and succeeded in one-on-three in the penalty area!
For a moment, the only sound that could be heard in the Philippe Chartier Arena was the "creak" of the swaying basketball stand.
Tim Duncan, the sea-fixing needle, was destroyed by Ryan in this way!
There is no way, Duncan is no longer a flying devil after all.
His lack of athleticism will really put him on the back foot against top players.
What really made French fans despair about this goal was not that Ryan jumped directly on the spot to dunk Duncan.
But facing the same situation of being surrounded by three people at the basket, Ryan can score the goal that Parker cannot score!
Also faced with tight siege at the basket, Parker was helpless, but Ryan was able to create the top ten!
This fierce dunk made the stars watching in the front row stand up with their heads covered.
Mike Brin smiled and said: "I told you all to prepare yourself!"
Today, with no one-on-one space and no strong three-point support, Ryan still used all kinds of outrageous methods to suppress the Spurs!
The Spurs thought they were a powerful offense, but Ryan was suppressing it!
After that, similar things happened many times.
Facing a similar defense, Parker couldn't score, but Ryan could always score the ball in incredible ways.
For example, when faced with a pressing situation at the last minute, Parker hit a three-pointer, but Ryan was able to hit a three-pointer.
For example, in the same difficult pull bar that was surrounded by many people, Ryan, who couldn't get in with Parker, could still get in!
Parker still continues to score. In fact, his scoring efficiency today is ridiculously high.
But the gap between these difficult goals makes the gap between the two scores wider and wider!
In the last 1 minute and 22 seconds of the fourth quarter, Parker used his signature turn to pass Lowry, and then pulled a lever in the gap between the Birds and Nene to score a layup!
That's right, Mike Malone even directly replaced Love and Millsap at this time, and replaced Nene and Birdman with stronger rim protection.
But still couldn't completely hold down Parker.
After scoring this goal, Parker scored the second-highest 44 points in his career, second only to the 55 points in a single game in 2008!
Parker is shooting an impressive 58% from the field so far. For a No. 1 position, scoring 44 points with such a shooting rate is quite terrifying.
But after scoring the goal, there was no smile on Parker's face.
There were no smiles on the faces of the French fans either.
Because after this goal was scored, the Spurs were still 10 points behind!
Because Ryan has scored 59 points today!
That's 15 points more than Parker who entered zone mode!
So scary!
Parker has led the team to push the offense to the extreme, but it still cannot withstand Ryan's destruction!
Because Ryan can score goals that Parker can score, and Ryan can still score goals that Parker cannot score!
Parker's zone mode seems to be just a little bit of Ryan's strength!
Ryan's 59 points in a single game completely stunned the French fans. Wasn't it possible that he could score so many points in a basketball game?
With Parker playing like this, can the Spurs still be 10 points behind?
What kind of perverted behavior is this from Ryan!
Ryan used his actual actions to prove that the Nuggets' fear of offensive teams is a complete joke.
Because the Nuggets themselves are the most terrifying offensive team!
In this current situation, Parker had just scored the second-highest score of his career, but he couldn't laugh at all.
Chasing 10 points in one and a half minutes is undoubtedly a very difficult task.
And if he loses this game, his 44 points will be reduced to nothing.
There is simply nothing more heartbreaking than this.
Now, the Spurs desperately need a successful defense to grab a glimmer of hope of winning.
And in the next key defense, second-year DeJuan Blair really made a great contribution!
In this round, Nene mentioned the high position to catch the ball and prepared to help Ryan. However, when Nene was holding the ball with his back, Blair aggressively went up from Nene's side, and then slapped the basketball out of the Brazilian's hand. Successful steal!
To be honest, Popovich was frightened by this steal. If Blair failed, he would be completely out of position.
But there are no ifs in basketball, and Blair indeed broke the ball.
This steal gave the Spurs the last glimmer of hope of victory!
Fortunately, the Nuggets retreated quickly and did not allow the Spurs to counterattack.
At this time, it can be said that the entire Nuggets defense is running towards Parker.
Although Parker's performance today was not as good as Ryan's, but scoring 44 points with a 58% shooting rate is still quite scary, and defensive resources naturally have to be piled on him.
So, the moment Parker started to break through, Lowry, Matthews and Ryan all surrounded him.
Under the basket, Nene and Birdman also shrank instantly.
Facing the three-man attack from the outside, Parker had no way to break through.
In desperation, he could only pass the ball to Ginobili.
Under Ryan's defense today, the Argentine Demon Blades have only scored 10 points, with a shooting rate of 35%.
Hit the mark.
This time was the best chance he had ever had in the game. When he received the ball, he was completely unguarded.
But maybe it was too much ironing today that made Ginobili's hand feel completely cold.
This time when there was a wide-open three-point opportunity, Ginobili actually made a direct hit!
The Nuggets' defensive strategy at the last moment was to guard Parker tightly and then bet on the Spurs' open three-pointers.
If the Spurs can score, don't worry, because the Nuggets still lead by 7 points.
But if the Spurs don't score, the game will be completely in the hands of the Nuggets!
Ginobili is annoyed, Parker is even more annoyed!
If his personal ability were stronger just now, he wouldn't have to pass the ball to teammates who don't feel good!
But facing a direct attack from three outsiders, Parker felt like he had no better way.
It's hard enough to get two at once, but which man can withstand the torture of three!
After Ginobili hit the iron, Nene protected the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Ryan.
Ryan quickly advanced through the half, but the Spurs were not slow to retreat, and the defensive lineup was already in place.
But Ryan still didn't hesitate. Without using any screens or pick-and-rolls, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity and accelerated his breakthrough!
However, the Spurs' defense is exactly the same as the Nuggets' defense just now!
Parker, Ginobili and Jefferson immediately retracted from the perimeter, while Duncan and Blair immediately retracted to protect the frame!
But facing the same defense, Ryan's result was completely different from Parker just now!
Ryan did not pass the ball when facing the contraction of three people, but continued to dribble and accelerate. Ginobili tried to steal the ball, but missed it and lost his position.
Jefferson was passed by Ryan with his speed, and in the end only Parker could keep up with Ryan!
Ryan was stunned and broke through the encirclement of three people!
But it wasn't over yet. After reaching the basket, Ryan jumped up and faced Duncan and Blair.
At this time, Ryan no longer had the energy to twist his body and do those difficult pull-bar movements.
He ran directly into Blair and Duncan, and after a confrontation in the air, he threw the ball towards the basket.
The basketball bounced on the rim a few times, and all the fans were staring at the basketball attentively.
In a quiet atmosphere, the basketball finally fell into the net!
Ryan broke through the three-man block on the outside, and with the contraction of the two inside, he successfully scored, creating a smooth one-on-five!
What Parker couldn't do, Ryan did it again!
Mike Breen cheered in Paris:
"61 points! Ryan has 60+ points in a single game for the third time in his career!
He showed the highest offensive level of NBA players in Paris!
He told the entire league what the most terrifying offense is!
I know Tony is working very, very hard at home tonight.
He wants to keep the victory for Paris.
But sorry, there is only one legend in Paris tonight!
Ryan has completely occupied Paris! "
After this goal, the Nuggets led by 12 points in the last few dozen seconds.
The outcome is decided! Life or death is decided!
After Ryan scored, he looked at the frustrated Parker and shook his head at him:
"Sorry Tony, I seem to have let Paris fall again."
Immediately afterwards, Ryan shouted domineeringly into the stands:
"Now, loyal Paris, hail your Emperor!"
