He just played basketball and became the chosen one. - Chapter 188
c188 : Scoring champion, first in the Western Conference, first in Forbes
As a result, the Los Angeles Lakers of Kobe Bryant and Gasol still lost their No. 1 spot in the Western Conference.
The Palace of Auburn Hills has become a sad place for the Lakers.
Same three points, same goals in games played at the same time that night.
Ryan killed the Grizzlies who were in great condition, but Kobe was brutally choked by the little prince with a sword.
Prince allowed Kobe to experience Serena Williams’s feeling of being pushed to the limit.
At this point, the Nuggets have won 20 consecutive games, and with their overwhelming pressure, they have won the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference!
Barkley praised Ryan in the show that night, calling him “the strongest individual player in the world.”
This is a very exaggerated praise.
It stands to reason that the media in places such as Boston, Los Angeles and Cleveland will definitely refute it vigorously.
But the next day, no sports newspaper around the world refuted Barkley.
They even pushed from behind for Barkley!
“The third team in history to win 20 consecutive games! Is Ryan already one of the greatest players of all time?”
“The Lion rules the world! Denver is still great!”
“Charles’ vision is really vicious. The chosen one is playing his most brilliant season!”
Barkley was flattered and thought he would become a target for blowing Ryan so hard.
The result was endorsed by sports media around the world.
It feels so good to be pushed!
If Barkley praised Ryan like this, someone must be unhappy.
But now at this juncture, Ryan has won 20 consecutive games, and his record and personal performance are so perfect. The unhappy media really have nothing to refute.
No, the Los Angeles media suddenly paid collective attention to the issue of global warming.
This plot always feels very familiar to Cleveland fans.
As for the celebrities mentioned by Barkley, Dr. J and Skywalker have already withdrawn from the disputes for many years, Magic has a good personality, and Bird is the head coach of the Nuggets. They will definitely not refute Ryan.
As for the big-eared Mickey Mouse, he was indeed a little unhappy when he heard Barkley boasting that Ryan was as strong as himself, but when he looked at the statue of Ryan in his yard.
Forget it, I don’t want to take Ryan’s measurements anymore!
The more that thing gets, the angrier it gets!
Therefore, this time Ryan and Barkley reached the top with their heads held high!
Ryan’s pursuit of the Lakers is indeed quite shocking. You must know that the Lakers are strong and have become one of the most powerful contenders for the championship after adding Gasol.
But Ryan regained everything with a string of 20 consecutive victories.
This wave really made Ryan’s reputation skyrocket.
However, Lakers fans still take chances.
There are still more than a dozen games left in the regular season. If the Nuggets can return to first place in the Western Conference, why can’t we, the Los Angeles Lakers?
Does anyone take the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference? Am I not a Laker? Am I a human being? ?
It’s a pity that the entire Lakers team is really not human. Oh no, the Lakers really can’t counterattack like the Nuggets!
Although the Nuggets did start to lose after that, the winning streak eventually stopped at 21 games.
But in the last 19 games, the Nuggets only lost three games in total!
They used impenetrable defense to hold down their opponents, and then Ryan sent out fatal attacks, spreading fear throughout the league!
In the last game of the regular season, when the Nuggets easily won the Nets, with a record of 66 wins and 16 losses, the Nuggets maintained their first place in the Western Conference until the end, ending this year’s regular season journey!
The Lakers’ final record was 64 wins and 18 losses.
Can you say that the Lakers’ record is not good enough? The OK Lakers, who were at their peak in 2000, only had 67 wins.
When Gasol only joined the team for two and a half months, Kobe led the team to only win three fewer games than in 2000.
In the last 19 games, the Lakers only lost four games.
Their record is already good enough.
It’s not that the Lakers didn’t work hard enough, it’s mainly that Ryan is really terrible!
The Lakers are indeed strong, but the Nuggets are stronger, it’s that simple!
The Nuggets’ regular season record is tied with the Big Three of the Celtics in the Eastern Conference. If someone told you at the beginning of the season that the Nuggets lost to the Celtics by 14 points in the opening game, their final record would be as good as the Big Three. If it’s a tie, you’d definitely think that person was delusional.
Bird’s two life-saving trades are important, but Ben and Artest are the keys to the Nuggets’ recovery.
But without Ryan’s leadership, this team would not have been able to achieve a record of 66 wins!
Of course, Ryan’s honors in this year’s regular season don’t stop there.
This season, Ryan averaged 32.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.4 blocks per game.
Among them, the score is the highest in his career! It is also the highest in the league this season!
Ryan won the scoring title for the first time in his career this season!
Because Ryan’s personal offense has increased this season, his assists have been fewer than in the previous two seasons.
But this does not affect his overall data that is dazzling!
The moment the game ended, Barkley left the commentary box and hurried toward the tunnel.
As he walked, he also whispered to the Nuggets players.
They are all preparing to give Ryan a surprise, because there is another honor that Ryan himself doesn’t know about!
When Ryan finished the interview, he found that there was no Nuggets player on the court.
Ryan still feels strange, why is everyone so enthusiastic about going back today?
Do you all want to go home and download a copy of World of Warcraft together?
It has been said that Internet-addicted teenagers like Kirilenko have a great influence on the locker room!
Even a rough guy like Artest was led by Kirilenko to start playing games.
Ryan didn’t think much and went straight to the players’ tunnel.
But as soon as he approached the locker room, Ryan saw Artest sticking his head out of the door.
After discovering Ryan, Artest immediately retracted his head like a student who saw his class teacher approaching while studying, and then closed the door with a bang.
Ryan:.
Ryan is convinced, wouldn’t you guys find a slightly smarter investigator?
Artest’s reaction had the word “problem” written directly on his face!
Ryan felt something was wrong. Those guys returned to the locker room so early. Could they be hiding in the locker room and trying to splash water on me?
Ryan then carefully opened the locker room door and walked in slowly.
The moment Ryan walked in, no one splashed water on him. Ryan only heard a few loud “bang bangs” and then colorful confetti flying in the air.
Immediately afterwards, everyone shouted together: “Congratulations Ryan!”
Then, Swift hugged Ryan from the side and kissed Ryan on the cheek.
Ryan was a little surprised. Isn’t Swift not in Denver today? And why was she in the locker room?
Immediately afterwards, Ryan saw Sir Flying Pig pushing a cake to the center of the dressing room.
The shape of this cake is very unique, it is made into the shape of a pile of dollar bills.
There are a few simple words written on it: “No. 1 on Forbes!”
That’s right, while Ryan was playing, last year’s Forbes list was officially announced.
With an annual income of $110 million, Ryan surpassed Tiger Woods, who earned $100 million.
Topped the Forbes Sports List!
Last summer, that young man who seemed to know nothing about the sky and the earth smiled and said that he would become number one on the Forbes Sports List.
At that time, even Tiger Woods himself thought Ryan was joking.
The media also thought that this young man was talking nonsense.
But later, he really succeeded!
Barkley previously promised on the show that he would give Ryan a cake if he topped the Forbes Sports list.
So he ran back to the locker room to prepare at the end of the game and fulfilled his promise.
And he told all reporters in advance not to ask any questions related to the Forbes Sports List after the game and to give Ryan a surprise!
Ryan looked at the lively locker room, his teammates congratulating him, the Flying Pig Sir’s cake and his girlfriend beside him.
I immediately felt a sense of accomplishment.
With the best record in the NBA regular season, a popular singer girlfriend, and the highest income among athletes in the world, Ryan was in a daze, and suddenly couldn’t believe everything he had.
Ryan has achieved all his goals for this season!
Seeing that Ryan was stunned, Bird walked up and patted him on the shoulder: “Go and embrace your honor, Ryan, but you can only have one piece of cake.”
Ryan smiled and nodded, walked to the cake, and first hugged Flying Pig, who had always been very supportive of him: “Thank you, Charles.”
“You deserve it, come on, get over that damn Mickey Mouse!”
Danzi:? ? ?
You said you loved me before! ?
The scene of the Nuggets team celebrating Ryan being ranked No. 1 on Forbes was also captured by reporters.
This will become one of the most classic moments in NBA history!
Now, in fifth grade, Ryan is already honored.
But everyone knows that truly great players need a three-peat dynasty.
Of course, the championship won by Nomad is also a championship, but in the field of basketball, nothing is more convincing than three consecutive championships.
Of course you can lie to yourself and think it doesn’t matter if you don’t win three consecutive championships.
Of course you can find other ways to brag about the importance of the all-time scoring leader.
But no matter how much you try to avoid the important, everyone knows that without three consecutive championships, you have not ruled an era at all, let alone the greatest player!
It was after Jordan won three consecutive championships in 1993 that he began to be widely dubbed the GOAT.
Tiangou also has six championships in hand, but why do most people rank him behind Jordan?
Even Ajan will not take Jabbar seriously in the future?
Not to mention the next two champions, Magic is the real leader.
The most important thing is that Tiangou can only win two consecutive championships at most.
When judging others, three wins in a row is important. When judging yourself, it doesn’t matter if you don’t win three times in a row. What matters is a customized standard.
In short, in the field of basketball, three consecutive championships is a watershed.
Great players have to win three consecutive championships and other things.
Ryan’s greatness still needs three consecutive championships to sublimate!
Therefore, the next playoffs will be the final test for Ryan!
A person is in different periods and pursues different things.
Just like a boy’s dream when he was a child may be to grow to 190cm, but when he grows up, it turns into hoping that he can grow to 190mm.
A person like Azhan, who has no crown, is still pursuing a ring. And for someone like Ryan who pursues historical status, his goal is naturally to win three consecutive championships!
This time in the playoffs, everything must be guaranteed!
After celebrating Forbes No. 1 with everyone in the locker room and wiping cakes, Ryan drove home with Swift.
Although he has just played 82 regular season games, Ryan has played 74 games even though he was suspended for 8 games. The attendance rate is already very high.
But Ryan doesn’t feel tired at all now, either mentally or physically.
On the contrary, I felt very excited!
He can’t wait to start the playoffs as soon as possible!
Ryan is also planning to rest early today and train with full energy tomorrow to enter the playoffs.
But as soon as he opened the bedroom door after returning home, Ryan saw a huge heart made of rose petals on his big bed.
There were two glasses of red wine on the bedside table.
The speaker automatically played soothing music.
Afterwards, Swift closed the bedroom door and hugged Ryan’s neck: “My dear, the long regular season is over. Let me help you relax tonight~”
Looking at the scene that was arranged with such care, how could Ryan have the nerve to refuse?
Ryan found that in the last locker room battle, he seemed to have put Swift on a path of no return.
Since the bloody incident, Swift has become much more unrestrained, and she feels like she has transformed from a little girl into a charming little woman.
Many people complain that their partners are cold, but in fact, as long as you have the ability to make her happy, you will find that her needs are no less than yours!
After all, who doesn’t like to do things that make them feel comfortable?
Ryan glanced at the wine glass: “I can’t drink.”
“I’ve asked the doctor. It’s okay to have a glass of red wine once in a while. It won’t affect your ability to play in the playoffs.”
“I’m not talking about the playoffs, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it if I drink.”
“Stop bragging, I won’t spare you today, Mr. Forbes~”
After saying that, Swift went to the bathroom and started taking a shower.
Ryan had just washed himself in the locker room, so now he just had to lie down and wait.
but!
Ryan, who has always been focused on work, did not sit idle, but took advantage of this time to draw the task rewards!
At the end of the regular season today, the Nuggets still maintain first place in the Western Conference, allowing Ryan to finally complete the “leader’s promise” task!
According to the mission description, the reward is two defensive talent fragments.
At that time, Ryan first made a promise to Ben and Artest to return to the top spot in the Western Conference.
And both of them are defensive players.
So maybe for this reason, the reward is defensive talent fragments.
But having too many skills doesn’t overwhelm you, as long as there are fragments of talent, no matter what type they are, Ryan will take them!
After clicking on the mission lottery package, two new talent fragments appeared in front of Ryan.
“Talent Fragment: Hawkeye Interception.
Effect: When the opponent passes the ball in the air, such as changing into a pass, the reaction ability of intercepting the pass in the air can be greatly improved. ”
“Talent Fragment: Infinite Suspension.
Effect: When jumping up to block the opponent’s frame attack, the ability to stay in the air can be greatly enhanced. ”
Ryan was satisfied with the two fragments of talent that allowed him to deal with various types of players.
Brandon Malone, a scout for the Seattle SuperSonics, once said: “Jordan can score 30, 40, and 50 points at any time, but his weapon that really takes out people’s hearts is defense!”
Although beside Danzi, it is Pippen who takes on the most defensive tasks.
But when necessary, Jordan will also use defense to solve problems himself.
For example, before the famous The Last Shot in 1998, Jordan personally stole the basketball from Malone.
And Ryan is now moving further and further towards the path of integrating offense and defense!
Ryan looked at the upcoming playoff schedule again.
This year, the top eight in the Western Conference are the Nuggets, Lakers, Warriors, Spurs, Hornets, Mavericks, Jazz and Suns.
That’s right, with 55 wins, the Suns, who have Nash, Shark and Stoudemire, can only rank eighth in the Western Conference.
Fans are not surprised by this. The Western Conference has always been like this.
In other words, Ryan’s opponent in the first round was the Suns.
In the second round, they will face the winner between the Spurs and the Hornets.
In the original history, the Hornets and Spurs had to reach the tiebreaker to decide the winner.
Among them was Horry’s deliberate collision, which caused David West’s back injury.
So the Spurs team is really not clean. Once or twice may be just a coincidence, but damn, they have done these things every time in the playoffs.
Even WWE wouldn’t dare to have this team. Because WWE is just pretending to fight, but the Spurs are really ruthless!
Therefore, in this history, it is uncertain whether the Nuggets will face the Spurs or the Hornets in the second round.
But no matter who he faces, Ryan feels that there won’t be much hindrance in the first two rounds.
In the third round, there is a high probability that it will be a direct confrontation with the Lakers!
It’s not that Ryan looks down on Yao, it’s mainly that the Warriors are in a bad situation this year, and Arenas was on his knees again in the second half of the season.
Many people think that Arenas’ career ended because he was suspended for 50 games for playing with a gun, but this is not the case.
What really made Arenas fall was the 50-game suspension + previous consecutive serious injuries.
In the two seasons before Arenas took over, he only played 15 games in total due to injuries.
This has already caused his condition to plummet.
The gun scandal was just the final straw.
I don’t know if Arenas will still play with guns in this history, but injuries seem to be unavoidable.
As for the Warriors, it would be difficult for the Lakers to rely solely on Yao and Jamison.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the Western Conference Finals will be against Kobe!
Ryan looked at the schedule and then at his newly drawn talent fragments.
Thinking about how to use these two new weapons to deal with opponents.
Thinking about which of the two new fragments is best to deal with.
At this time, Swift walked out of the bathroom attached to the master bedroom.
It turned out that she didn’t just go to take a shower, but went in and secretly changed into a set of black lace clothes and fishnet stockings on her legs.
It seems that in addition to the rose petals and red wine on the bed, she also prepared something to give Ryan a crazy attack speed.
A well-arranged scene can relax Ryan, and a well-arranged self can make Ryan extremely excited.
Ryan shook his head, good guy, this is a high-end game!
You little girl have really been led astray!
Needless to say, Swift is the one who cares most about this ritual among all the girlfriends Ryan has ever dated!
Swift smiled and sat on Ryan’s lap, confiscating the phone in Ryan’s hand:
“Don’t look at the playoff schedule, look at me.
Which one do you prefer, my gift or the gift Sir Flying Pig gave you? ”
“Of course it’s you.”
“But my gift can’t be given to you for free.” After saying that, Swift handed Ryan a paper ball: “If you can throw this paper ball into the trash can in one go, I will be at your disposal today.”
Ryan put his arm around Swift’s waist, kissed her, and then threw the paper ball into the trash can without even looking at it.
“Ryan, you don’t even know how to let me!”
Ryan threw Swift onto the soft big bed:
“I’ll let you in later~”
Before the playoff battle begins, it is still necessary to relax yourself with another kind of battle.
