Chapter 224: It doesn’t matter how many points you score, Dwight, I can beat you!
Howard did whatever he wanted under the basket, and Love couldn't stop him at all.
The Jamies were extremely excited to see it. If Howard really wins today, it will not only break Ryan's arrogant idea of tying his winning streak.
You can also clean up A Zhan by the way!
Previously, it was quite embarrassing that Ajan couldn't pass Howard in the playoffs.
This is the equivalent of Jordan losing to Gorilla Ewing in the playoffs.
If this really happened in history, I don't know if Ewing's status will rise or not, but Jordan's status will definitely decline a lot.
However, this embarrassing thing actually happened to James.
When people are looking forward to his bloody battle with the Green Army, and then in the finals 23VS24.
You never expected that he would play with you.
We should really thank James. Without him, how could the NBA be so good? How could there be so much fun? We should be grateful for his contribution to basketball.
The night the Cavaliers lost to the Magic, Stern almost lost his breath that night.
Originally, Ryan was injured, so he wanted to praise Ajan and let him take on the task of stimulating the box office.
As a result, I couldn’t carry it!
So don't talk about Wade. Stern, as the league president, can't even lead James.
But if Ryan doesn't defeat Peak Warcraft today, then Ajan's embarrassment will be reduced!
Although the Nuggets and Magic played only a regular season game, it was not the same thing as losing in the playoffs.
But who cares, as long as the Nuggets lose, as long as they can create a little bit of material, Ajan's fans can turn right and wrong!
After all, when it comes to winning the championship with their arms around each other in the future, their favorite words to excuse their idols are:
"Kobe did it too! He hugged O'Neal for the first three consecutive games!
The last two games relied on leg-hugging Gasol, Bynum, Odom, Ci Shiping, Fisher, and dynasty coach Jackson.
Even if you put aside the sharks, if the Lakers' lineup during the two consecutive championships was given to James, he could easily win three consecutive championships! "
However, the fact is that the Lakers, who won two consecutive championships with Kobe Bryant, are the only team in history that has no other 75 major players except the star, and can win two consecutive championships!
So this lineup is given to Ajan, let alone three consecutive championships, Ajan may not know where he went the next day!
But just because both Gasol and Bynum have been in the All-Star Game and provided them with a little bit of material, they can give their "leg-holding" title to others.
As long as they have the slightest chance, they can excuse their idols!
A player like Bynum who never averaged double digits in points per game in the playoffs during his two consecutive championships can be called a giant!
Therefore, as long as Warcraft can win this game, Ajan's loss to Howard in the playoffs can be eliminated!
There is no room for flaws in the GIOAT project!
If there are imperfections, find a way to wash them away!
All James hopes that World of Warcraft will become stronger today. None of us can defeat it in a head-on confrontation, but none of us will lose in a side-to-side confrontation online.
If Howard dares to win against Ryan, they will dare to demote Ryan to the same level as James!
Warcraft's two attacks on the frame simply illustrate what it means to be effortless.
Love looked helpless. When he learned that today's tactic was to let Howard play one-on-one with him, he was thinking, why can't I guard him?
But these opening two rounds made Love understand what it means to be beyond reach. There are some things that you just can’t get enough of, no matter how hard you try!
Love thinks he is strong enough to hold Howard up, but Howard's upper body strength is even more abnormal.
And when Howard speeds up, Love has no room to pursue.
Block shot? Then don't even think about it.
The air Howard breathed after jumping up was fresh and fresh that Love had never experienced before.
Today, Love really could only do his best on the defensive end.
At this time, Howard also started to defend with confidence.
Although Ryan said just now that "I have the final say on the 21-game winning streak," Howard was not intimidated.
Because he knows very well that it is much more difficult for Ryan to score than for him!
Isolating Love in the paint is almost as easy as training for Howard.
In fact, since Yao Ming announced his retirement, Howard felt that no one in the league could guard him in a one-on-one low post.
Therefore, he began to resist playing pick-and-rolls more and more. He did not want to be a senior blue-collar player.
He hopes to create his own world in the penalty area like Olajuwon, Shark and other great predecessors.
For this reason, Howard also went to Dameng's training camp for further study.
Compared with Kobe, he is not Olajuwon's best student.
But thank God, at least he's not the worst.
Howard's back turns and occasional small hooks are still used smoothly.
Therefore, Howard thinks it will be easy for him to deal with Love.
He is sure that his scoring efficiency on Love's head must be higher than Ryan's scoring efficiency!
After all, he is a center, and his offensive range is at the basket after all. He is still facing a poor guy who is helpless against him.
Where's Ryan? No matter how accurate his shooting is, he can't be more efficient than himself.
And if Ryan dares to break into the penalty area, Howard wouldn't mind treating Ryan to something hot!
Howard is full of confidence in today's game.
At the beginning, no one was optimistic about the Magic defeating the Cavaliers. What happened in the end?
But Howard knows very well that in competitive sports, whoever is more favored is not guaranteed to win.
He and Ryan indeed have no grudges, but now Warcraft, whose ambitions are gradually beginning to expand, also wants to kill a few stars of sufficient importance to improve his status.
James is just a small boss, it’s time to make a big one!
Lowry was close to the Magic half court, and it was Jason Richardson who was responsible for chasing Ryan.
Today he risked his life to guard Ryan, and he was ready to use all his strength on the defensive end.
However, Ryan easily ran back and threw Richardson away.
Ryan's reverse running speed was too fast, and Richardson simply couldn't catch up.
Although Richardson was also known for his athletic ability, now that he is 30 years old, his athletic ability has begun to decline.
Looking at Ryan who was still walking fast after the serious injury, Richardson could only lament that God was unfair.
Obviously we are all about the same age, but Ryan has been seriously injured, so why should he...
Thinking of this, Richardson suddenly discovered a terrible fact.
Ryan, he seems to be only 26 years old! ?
It turns out that I am the only one who is old!
The reason why Richardson has this illusion that "Lyan is as old as me" is because he has been fighting with Ryan for many years.
When the Warriors had Yao Ming and Arenas, he was responsible for guarding Ryan.
Now that Yao Ming has retired, Arenas has become a substitute for the Magic, but he is still guarding Ryan.
It seems like Ryan has been in the league for years.
When I think about it carefully, Ryan is actually still so young.
And at such a young age, he has already achieved three consecutive championships.
Simply scary!
In the 2003 draft, a three-peat champion and a team of the Big Three are indeed not easy.
After receiving the basketball in the mid-range position on the right side, Ryan caught the ball and shot.
Richardson's defense is not slow, but Ryan's shot is faster.
At this time, Love immediately blocked Howard and occupied a favorable rebounding position.
But Howard is not worried about being robbed of offensive rebounds at all. With his athletic ability, he can take the rebound from behind Love's head even if he is stuck.
Many people only tell you that height is not important for rebounding. Rodman is still the rebounding leader at such a short height, as long as he is in good position and has a tough heart.
But what they won't tell you is that Rodman's bounce speed is as terrifying as James' fast break speed.
Against a rebounder like Love who has no height or bounce and is just a position-blocking rebounder, Howard is still very confident to win!
If the Nuggets' second offense is contained, the Nuggets' firepower will drop a lot.
Today's restricted area is determined by me!
But then, Howard and Love's scramble for position turned out to be in vain.
Because Ryan's mid-range shot went directly into the net and successfully scored!
Ryan did not hit the ball continuously, and he also told the world that the last round was just because of my poor touch, not because I was guarded by the Magic.
In an understatement, Ryan caught the ball and hit a shot from mid-range.
Howard muttered a few curse words, and Jason Richardson shook his head helplessly.
Ryan scored, looking as easy as Howard.
But Howard doesn't believe in evil. I have the advantage when facing the basket from mid-range!
There's no way I'm any less efficient than Ryan!
The game continued, Stan Van Gundy yelled on the sidelines, hoping that Howard would go out to pick and roll Nelson.
Nelson probably blocked the bullet for Van Gundy, otherwise there is no way to explain why Van Gundy did not use Arenas, who was obviously more effective this season, and had to use Nelson.
Although Arenas is past his prime, he does play better than Nelson.
Forget it without Arenas, now they are still clamoring for Warcraft to pick and roll Nelson.
Howard is convinced. What can he do if you give him a pick-and-roll?
So it was nice to hear and see, but Howard didn't listen to Van Gundy's orders. He still leaned on Love in the low post and raised his hand for the ball!
Van Gundy was so angry that he shook his head. Damn it, why don't today's players have any respect for the coach? ?
Howard got the basketball, leaned back hard, and then turned around and scored the ball with a small hook.
Although the hook movement was a bit stiff, at least the ball went in.
They say Howard has no skills, but Howard is still a star after all. If he is stiff and doesn't score goals, can he be called a star?
Howard continued to score, keeping the Magic in the lead.
He has scored the ball in three consecutive rounds.
Warcraft still doesn't believe that Ryan can shoot like him, scoring goals in every round!
But in the next attack, Ryan not only still scored, but he also scored a three-pointer!
This time, Richardson blocked Ryan very tightly and did not give Ryan a chance to catch the ball in the mid-range.
So, Ryan decided to find a loose place to enter!
He slowly dribbled back and walked lightly to the three-point line.
The Magic's perimeter defense is mainly man-to-man, and only begins to attack once the opponent enters the penalty area.
Because Howard is inside and can help defend at any time, the overall defensive strategy is to focus on breakthroughs but not on shots.
As a result, Richardson stayed very close, not giving Ryan any room to take action.
After Ryan retreated to the three-point line, he saw that Richardson was pressing so tightly, so he took advantage of the situation and made a breakthrough.
Richardson immediately retreated, and Howard quickly shrank from the basket, preparing to hit Ryan with a double ghost shot.
Even if Ryan passes the ball to Love at this time, the Magic don't have to worry.
Because Howard is fully capable of jumping repeatedly in the penalty area and outside the three-point line.
If Ryan passes the ball, Howard will definitely be able to rush out immediately and interfere with Love's three-point shot!
Ryan didn't have a perfect choice for this attack!
As a result, Ryan neither passed the ball nor made a breakthrough.
Instead, after deceiving Richardson to pursue the defense, he took a step back and instantly returned to the three-point line!
This step back caught Richardson off guard, and he quickly changed his focus to interfere with Ryan's shooting.
But Ryan's shot was too fast. Just like before, Ryan's ball had already been released as soon as Richardson blocked it.
Howard continued to fight for position with Love in an attempt to protect the rebound.
Warcraft gritted his teeth and took a step back jump shot, which was different from the open shot just now.
Ryan, he can't be continuous
"brush!"
The basketball hit the net and Ryan was still scoring goals!
And because it was a three-pointer, the Nuggets were only 1 point behind the Magic in an instant!
Howard cursed, is Ryan's shooting so stable?
Damn it, I still don’t believe it!
Howard still doesn't believe in evil. If I score the fourth goal in a row, how should Ryan respond?
But in the next round, Howard did not easily attack the frame and score as he wished.
Because this time, when Love jumped up to attack the frame, Love gave him a strong tug and pulled him down.
Howard fell heavily and the referee also gave Love a foul.
Warcraft slapped the floor angrily, that damn white-skinned model!
Howard was angry, not because he was knocked down.
In a basketball game, when the opponent repeatedly scores in the penalty area, it is normal and magical to remind the opponent with a fierce foul reminder.
The reason why Howard is angry is because he has to get to the free throw line next!
Warcraft may be able to hit hard in the penalty area and smash the rim.
But outside the three-second zone, his offensive threat is almost equal to 0.
Howard was the first person in the history of FIBA to let Yao Ming communicate with his teammates in the off-court way. Yao Ming's two phrases "No basket, no basket" can be regarded as one of the most exquisite calls in the history of basketball.
Love did commit a foul on purpose. The only request Mike Malone gave him today was not to graduate too early with six fouls.
Letting Howard free throws is also one of the ways to defend Howard.
Howard stood on the free throw line and the first free throw was taken smoothly.
For the second penalty, Howard was already very careful.
But the basketball still hit the neck of the basket in the end.
Many people may not believe it when they see this. When Howard was in high school, scouts once claimed that he was a genius like Duncan + Garnett.
And this genius can't even shoot free throws right now.
Just like that, Howard's scoring streak was interrupted!
At the moment when the basketball was playing, Ryan also said to Warcraft with a smile:
"I told Dwight, you can score as many points as you want today, you don't have to be so polite.
Wait, you didn't really miss two free throws based on your strength, right? "
Howard ignored it. Known for his good temper, he couldn't stand Ryan's trash talk.
In front of the TV, as soon as James saw Ryan's mouth moving, he knew that the guy was launching a mental attack on others again!
At this time, he suggested that the league prohibit players from talking trash in the future!
Ryan's trash talk at least increased his strength from 100% to 150%!
After Warcraft missed the connection, the Nuggets got a chance to take the lead.
But Howard still doesn't believe that Ryan's shooting can be so stable. The most efficient place to play basketball is under the basket!
The Magic's basket is just not easy to penetrate.
Therefore, Ryan's scoring efficiency today is definitely not higher than his own!
Richardson's defensive actions also became more rough. He originally didn't want to get into a confrontation so quickly, otherwise his physical energy would be exhausted quickly.
But now is no longer the time to consider physical issues. If Ryan is not restrained immediately, no matter how much physical energy is left later, it will only be used to throw towels during garbage time.
Faced with Richardson's pressing pressure, Ryan still chose to break through.
This time, Richardson was mentally prepared to step back. If Ryan chooses to step back and shoot again, he will definitely be able to block the interference immediately.
And if Ryan enters the penalty area, he will be flanked by Howard.
If it is a direct mid-range emergency stop, it is also a shot amid interference.
Richardson didn't leave any chance for Ryan to score!
Howard also pushed away Love in advance, blocking a favorable defensive position.
He didn't want to have a hard time guarding Ryan, only to have a stolen point because he didn't grab the rebound well.
After Ryan made a move, he shot a pull-up jumper without getting rid of Richardson.
Richardson, who was fully focused, immediately reached out and this time finally interfered with Ryan's shot. Howard is also charging up his legs, ready to grab rebounds at any time, and then immediately use his strength on the offensive end!
In the previous few attacks, Ryan had always left space and completed his shots with almost no interference, so it was normal for him to hit consecutively.
But this time, Ryan took action during the interference, so he couldn't still score, right?
If Ryan's efficiency on outside jump shots is almost the same as my efficiency on shooting to the basket, then this game will be a waste.
As soon as Howard thought of this, the basketball flew directly out of the baseline!
Don't get me wrong, this ball is not a non-stick.
But after entering the frame, he didn't even touch the Nets!
Richardson did interfere with Ryan's shooting this time, but Ryan's sight did not drop at all!
Just now, Ryan had triggered the talent fragment of dry pull. Moreover, his shooting package is also very resistant to interference this season.
Therefore, Richardson's level of interference seemed like a joke to Ryan.
In addition, Ryan's touch was already hot today, so he directly slapped Richardson in the face!
Howard was already feeling a little desperate at this time. No, Ryan's offensive efficiency on the outside was really the same as his! ?
After the goal was scored, the Nuggets also overtook the score.
Ryan still had a smile on his face and spread his hands towards Howard:
“I said, you can score as many points as you want.
Don't worry, I won't even waste my energy to help defend you.
You can score as many points as you want.
But, you can't win today! "
Ryan's trash talk was like pressing a switch on Howard, making him tremble.
No, it’s all one-on-one. I hit the basket, how could I lose to him in scoring!
This beast rushed into the penalty area like crazy and continued to raise his hand for the ball.
But this time, Nelson's ball to Howard was intercepted by Love who suddenly went around.
The Magic's offensive intentions are so obvious that Love will not sit still and wait for death.
He is not a punching bag, always waiting for Howard to hit him.
The shooting rate of inside offense is indeed high, but the difficulty of catching the ball is also higher. In basketball games, this is a natural barrier to curb the center's offense.
It is simply impossible for Master Huo to comfortably get the basketball in every round.
After Love stole the ball, he was about to show off his long pass to the fourth quarter.
As a result, Howard reached out from behind without warning and tried to swat Love's ball away.
This kind of steal is the same as when playing 2K, when you are panicked and then press the steal button without thinking.
Nothing can be gained but a foul!
Seeing Howard use a meaningless foul on a meaningless person, Van Gundy couldn't stand it anymore.
He stood up and started roaring from the sidelines:
"You idiot, can you act like a man and stop being such a willful boy!"
Howard didn't answer, but the word "angry" was written on his forehead at this time.
Howard has always been eager to gain respect in the low post, but today he felt no respect everywhere.
The Nuggets didn't double-team him, and Ryan emphasized again and again, "You can score at will."
Even the head coach is howling.
Damn Orlando, I can’t stay here any longer!
I am a super center!
The anger in Howard's heart has been completely aroused by Ryan.
As for Stan Van Gundy, to be honest, Ryan didn't expect that he would help him add fuel to the fire.
At this time, as a head coach, shouldn’t he let his core calm down?
As a result, Stan Van Gundy not only did not comfort Howard, but also mocked him.
Ryan is also convinced. If you do this, the media will really think that I have placed undercover agents in every team in the league!
There is no way, Stan Van Gundy is such a coach who cannot handle the relationship with his players well.
Van Gundy studied under Riley. In addition to also likes to engage in devilish training, he also likes to use the "whip of language" to beat his players.
Although these two measures can further stimulate the potential of players, players will undoubtedly be resistant to the head coach in their hearts.
When playing under Van Gundy, you will often find this phenomenon. Even though he made a good shot, his teammates off the court have already stood up to celebrate, but off the court, Van Gundy has a gloomy face and even curses.
Just because you scored a goal without following his tactics.
In Van Gundy's view, the team is like a machine. In order for the machine to operate perfectly, the players as cogs must perform their duties and obey his instructions 100%.
You have to cater to him with the posture he likes so that he can be satisfied.
Therefore, he certainly couldn't bear Howard's undisciplined and unnecessary fouls.
In his plan, all Howard's fouls will be reserved for Ryan.
As a result, Howard wasted one on the soft and waxy Love. How could he not be furious?
Howard was also very angry, and when he was angry, he was actually grabbed an offensive rebound by Love in this round!
In this offense, Ryan's shooting really hit the mark.
No matter how good the hand feels, it is impossible to keep advancing.
But because Howard was too angry and impatient, he jumped too early when grabbing the rebound.
If it were normal times, there would be nothing wrong with it.
But tonight, with Love occupying a favorable rebounding position, Howard took off early, which undoubtedly gave away the rebound.
Love was not greedy for credit, and immediately passed the offensive rebound back to Ryan.
He knew something in his mind. If he dared to get strong under the basket, Howard would dare to let him fly with the ball.
Ryan received the pass again, and this time, he didn't miss it again.
After shaking Richardson with a fake shot, he immediately jumped to Richardson's side.
But Ryan didn't run far, he completed the shot from Richardson's side.
Just like a perverted killer, when executing, he always hopes to clearly see the painful expression on the other person's face.
Ryan did the same thing, because the moment before he took action, he turned his head in the air and looked at Richardson in despair!
Why is Jordan scary? It's because while defeating his opponent, he is also destroying his opponent's heart.
Even to be his teammate, you have to have a strong heart.
The same goes for Ryan, he can break your heart.
Richardson has played against Ryan countless times, both in the regular season and the playoffs, and he thought he was no longer afraid of Ryan.
But when Ryan turned his head and glanced at him in the air, he still managed to throw the ball in.
That feeling of fear that makes people break out in cold sweat is once again haunting their bones!
Ryan scored and the Nuggets went ahead by 3 points.
Unable to bear it, Stan Van Gundy suspended the game.
The Nuggets still took the lead without any targeted defense against Howard!
As for Ryan, these first few goals are just a small test for him.
Warcraft? Only James will lose to him!
Sure enough, after returning from the timeout, the Magic's situation did not improve at all.
Van Gundy relied on interior defense, setting up a dragnet in the penalty area, and Howard also gathered enough energy to prepare for an extreme showdown with Ryan in the air.
As a result, Ryan couldn’t go in at all!
Van Gundy is damn convinced, isn't it? There are really men in this world who can only flirt but can't get in?
But the most frustrating thing for the Magic is that even if Ryan doesn't go in, his shooting percentage is still very high!
The Magic are resolutely one-on-one on the outside, mainly because Van Gundy, an old-school coach, believes that the shooting rate of outside singles is not as good as inside singles.
So if it's all singles, Howard will definitely win.
In fact, I don't blame Van Gundy for being too old-school. This really applies to most opponents.
When James was eliminated in 2009, Van Gundy used Pietrus' single defense to lock James' outside jumper.
Who is Pietrus, you ask? A role player who could barely score in double figures for only one season in his career.
But after facing James in that series, he suddenly gained the name of French Jordan.
But if you use this trick on Ryan, especially on Ryan who has excellent touch, you are asking for trouble!
In a one-on-one situation, Ryan's jump shot can easily suppress Howard's inside attack!
It is true that Ryan can't penetrate only by rubbing, but looking at it from another perspective, Ryan can bring the opponent to climax just by rubbing!
The Magic were so suppressed that until the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, the Magic were already 13 points behind!
At this point, it's the Magic's possession.
Turkoglu was holding the ball on the outside, and Howard pretended to come out for a pick-and-roll, but in fact he suddenly cut inside and pointed upward with his hand, indicating that Turkoglu would throw an alley-oop directly to him.
Howard actually didn't have the conditions to score on this ball because Love was right next to him.
At the same time, Millsap has also received the basket.
The basket is equivalent to being protected by two people.
But Turkoglu did it anyway, and he threw the ball high when Howard cut in.
Millsap and Love also jumped at the same time, trying to stop Warcraft.
But Howard pushed Love away in the air, caught the basketball, and violently abused the frame with Millsap's hands! Howard was double-teamed and still succeeded in an alley-oop dunk!
So far, Warcraft has scored 41 points today!
Hit rate 60%!
His efficiency is already frighteningly high!
But faced with such a wonderful goal, Magic fans were not excited.
Because the Magic are still 11 points behind!
The camera also showed Ryan. It was his terrifying firepower that allowed Howard to still fall behind by double digits even though he was going crazy at the basket.
Because at this time, Ryan had already scored 52 points!
That's right, 52 points, exactly 11 points more than Howard.
It seems that he scores more points than Howard, which is why the Nuggets can take the lead!
Ryan's jump shot from the outside today simply made Richardson desperate.
No matter how hard he defends, Ryan always scores!
The efficiency is not much worse than Howard, and the output is much higher!
And Van Gundy is very stubborn and rigid.
He is the kind of man who likes to go all the way to darkness. Even if there is a more popular path, he will still choose to take the dark path he believes.
Therefore, even if he saw Ryan going crazy on the outside, he never adjusted his defensive strategy.
Before Ryan enters the three-second zone, he must not attack from a flank!
Van Gundy himself is also a one-star player, so he knows that if Ryan is rashly flanked, the Nuggets' perimeter group will get a lot of opportunities to fire.
Then I won’t be able to hold on any longer.
In the end, Ryan didn't care at all, one-on-one was one-on-one. He scored 52 points by himself, and the Magic couldn't stand it either!
He really did it, relying on his jump shot to suppress Howard's efficient shooting at the basket!
Van Gundy has been waiting, waiting for the moment when Ryan's touch cools down.
He still doesn't believe that Ryan can kill him with outside shooting.
As his physical fitness declines and his defensive intensity increases, Ryan's touch will definitely be affected.
But Howard is different. As long as he is one-on-one under the basket, he will not be affected by his touch and has a higher probability of scoring!
Three minutes, three minutes to go!
If Ryan's touch declines in the last three minutes, the Magic will still have a chance!
After Howard succeeded in an alley-oop dunk between the two of them, Ryan continued to torture Richardson's nerves.
The Magic need defense, and they don't want to be the second team this season to lose 60 points to Ryan.
But Richardson mentally wanted to give up. He tried his best today, but all that was left was the image of being knocked down, diffracted, and blown up.
This time he also told himself in his heart:
"If I can't guard against it this time, I'll just lie down on my fucking back! It'll be over once and for all!"
result
As a result, Ryan really missed the pull-up jumper this time!
Richardson suddenly didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
I originally gave myself an excuse to give up, but I didn't know that this excuse would be blocked so quickly!
Ryan missed the shot, which made Van Gundy extremely happy.
Is it really starting to feel cold?
At the same time, Howard fouled Love in the paint.
This is also Love's sixth foul in this game!
Even though he tried to cut down Howard as much as possible today, he still allowed Howard to score 40+ points.
It's true that I can't bear it.
After Love graduated and left the game, Birdman took his place.
But Birdman now also has four sins.
Needless to say, World of Warcraft really defeated the Nuggets inside today.
If it weren't for Ryan's amazing shooting, the Magic would have celebrated their victory long ago.
Howard stood on the free throw line, but still missed the first free throw.
But on the second free throw, the basketball bounced on the rim five or six times before jumping straight into the net!
At this point, the Magic are only 10 points behind the Nuggets!
In 2 minutes and 43 seconds, there is a 10-point gap, and there is still hope that we can catch up!
Howard looked proud as he had already scored 42 points. If you can win this game, you will become famous!
He defeated Ryan in a duel!
He knew that Ryan couldn't kill him with a jump shot!
Immediately after the next round, something even more exciting for Warcraft happened.
Because of the Nuggets' offense this time, Ryan still missed his three-point shot!
Ryan also cursed secretly. There seemed to be something wrong with his shooting feeling.
Ryan has only rested for five minutes since today's game. And now there are less than three minutes before the end of the game.
In other words, Ryan was very accurate for 40 minutes today.
This feeling is already quite amazing.
And Ryan's jump shot percentage today is not low, it has been above 50%. Otherwise, it would be impossible to suppress the monsters raging inside.
Under such circumstances, losing two in a row at this time is not too bizarre.
It would be bizarre if Ryan could still hit the ball all the time.
But starting to miss at this time is indeed quite fatal.
Fortunately, because this three-pointer was a bit powerful, it was a long rebound.
None of the insiders on either side grabbed the ball, and Lowry, who was full of enthusiasm, finally grabbed the ball.
Although Lowry is a point guard, he has always rebounded well.
Historically, his career average of more than 4 rebounds per game is enough to prove his ability in this area.
After getting the rebound, Lowry wanted to attack on his own.
But after breaking into the penalty area, Howard's appearance calmed down the little steel cannon.
He knew very well that taking off to attack the frame under this guy's defense was no different from dying.
He doesn't want to be in the top ten just because he was blocked.
So, Lowry passed the ball again to Ryan.
Ryan holds the ball again, but Richardson's defense has just worked harder.
Richardson is now extremely grateful to God for pulling him back from the brink of giving up.
Perhaps his hard work in this game moved God so much that God was willing to lend him three minutes to transform into a DPOY-level defensive champion!
Richardson, who had regained his confidence, continued to challenge Ryan. Ryan was also a little confused at this time, not knowing whether to continue shooting jumpers from the outside.
The two missed shots just now indicate that Ryan's touch has fluctuated.
Today, Howard is under the basket and Love has been sent off, so it is difficult for the Nuggets to grab offensive rebounds.
So if you choose to shoot, the offense is a one-and-done deal, just like buying a lottery ticket.
Well, it’s still more reliable than buying a lottery ticket. After all, lottery tickets now have numbers like 55555 that empty the reward pool.
Howard also started to provoke:
“Ryan, you can’t win if you keep shooting outside!
And me, I can keep scoring, keep scoring!
Didn’t you say that you can win no matter how many points I score?
Hahahaha, you are about to be disappointed! "
Howard showed off his power and Richardson continued to apply pressure.
Ryan no longer hesitated, he had to figure out a way to attack.
After a few seconds, Ryan decided not to bother!
This time I'm really going in!
Ryan started to speed up, held Richardson in his arms, and charged into the Magic penalty area!
Seeing this, Stan Van Gundy was so happy that he raised his arms in advance.
Ryan was finally forced into the penalty area!
And assaulting the Magic's restricted area is suicide!
Moreover, now that Love is out, the Birdman who comes off the bench has no shooting range. Therefore, Howard can safely wait for Ryan under the basket, and Ryan doesn't even have a chance to break through and score the ball!
It’s done, this time the defense is done!
After being suppressed for a whole game, the reversal was finally completed in the last three minutes!
Ryan jumped up to face Howard, and Howard, who had been holding back for the whole game, jumped up with all his strength, trying to slap away Ryan's hope of counterattack with his own hands!
Howard's physical fitness at his peak is undeniably strong. Even Ryan, who is suspected of wearing anti-gravity devices in his shoes, cannot ignore Howard's frame protection like he bullies other insiders.
In the air, Howard is no lower than Ryan.
If Ryan dunks or lays up directly, what awaits him will definitely be a solid hot pot!
Pull rod? It's useless. With Howard's height, even if Ryan changes his hand to layup in the air, there is still a chance that he will be risked.
Howard laughed proudly. This attack had been completely blocked by him!
But Ryan remained calm. He did not pull up for a layup, nor did he try to directly dunk Howard. Because he knew that it was indeed sending him to death.
Ryan finally chose.
wait!
He raised the basketball in the air, but didn't take a shot. He just leaned his whole body back as much as possible to avoid Howard's waving arm.
Then Ryan's body began to slip, and so did Howard.
Howard was a little confused and didn't know what Ryan wanted to do.
Could it be that he finally landed with the basketball in his arms?
No, that's not possible, that's what LeBron only loves to do.
Howard and Ryan fell at the same time. When they fell, Warcraft still stretched out his arms to cover Ryan as much as possible.
As for Ryan, because he leaned back in advance, during his fall, he slowly found an angle from which to shoot between Howard's arms and the basket!
Ryan threw the ball toward the basket just before it landed.
Howard found it incredible that Ryan could still maintain his center of gravity and shoot steadily even though his body was falling and his backward angle was extremely large.
The basketball passed Howard's fingers. Howard had stretched his arms as much as possible, but his body was falling after all, so he couldn't reach the ball at all.
The basketball slowly flew over the basket. Ryan's difficult layup, where he waited for both his opponent and himself to fall before making a layup, went straight into the net!
When the outside touch really declined, Ryan used his abnormal frame-attacking ability to successfully score where the Magic and Howard were most confident!
When Howard thought his defense was flawless this time, Ryan continued to score goals in such an unusual way!
"It's still a goal! Ryan scored the 54th point tonight!
My God, it's hard for you to imagine that Ryan, an outside player, actually suppressed a center in his personal offense!
Howard was invincible today, his 42 points was already a career high!
But in the face of Ryan's firepower, Howard's 42 points were so weak!
Warcraft's offensive ceiling is in front of Ryan, and it can't even help the team reduce the point difference to single digits! "
The roar of the on-site commentator has already caused dark clouds to gather throughout Orlando.
It also brings dark clouds over Miami.
Right now, the 21-game winning streak seems really unstoppable!
And the most exaggerated thing is that Howard played so well in this game, but still couldn't stop the Nuggets' winning streak!
In the same way, the Magic can kill James, but they are helpless against Ryan!
I originally wanted to use this game to cleanse Ajan, but as soon as the game was over, Ajan was even more embarrassed!
Howard, who he couldn't defeat, was as fragile as an ant in front of Ryan!
Because the backward angle was too large, Ryan fell directly after landing and lay on the floor.
But Ryan was not embarrassed. He stood up confidently, pretended to pat the dust on his jersey, then turned to look at the Warcraft who just yelled at him, still smiling:
“Yeah, Dwight, you can score as many points as you want today.
Because no matter how you score points, no matter how you defend.
I can suppress you to death!
Is the restricted area your territory? Then I will plant a flag here! "
After speaking, Ryan pointed to the big screen.
Ryan's layup put the Magic desperately behind by 12 points!
Howard was gasping for air. He had already scored 42 points with a shooting rate of more than 60%, but he was still 12 points behind!
No matter how hard you try, you can't take advantage of Ryan!
Obviously, scoring is easier and more efficient under the basket.
But he just couldn’t get ahead of Ryan!
Moreover, Ryan was still able to score goals calmly in the penalty area, where he was most confident!
Damn it.
At this time, Howard heard a "bang".
That was the sound of his self-confidence being completely shattered.
Howard shook his head helplessly. He was wrong from the beginning.
I thought James could win, so Nunu should be able to win Ryan if he works hard.
But in fact, it is not difficult to defeat James.
But Ryan?
These are simply two concepts!
