He just played basketball and became the chosen one. - Chapter 199
c199 : The most difficult finals in my career!
Pierce’s performance in Game 1 was a complete disaster.
It wouldn’t be that shameful if he had good statistics but had diarrhea and lost.
But in the whole game, Pierce only scored 13 points with a shooting rate of less than 40%.
It also allowed Ryan to score 34 points.
Even after being beaten up, he still had diarrhea in front of the whole world.
What a double disgrace!
Some media joked: “‘Truth’ Pierce met ‘Truth’ Ryan, and Ryan is responsible for restoring the true level of certain stars in the playoffs!”
The next day, Pierce saw newspapers all over the world putting photos of himself with diarrhea on the front pages, and he suddenly lost hope in life.
What’s the difference between this and being stripped naked in front of the public! ?
Although the female models in those pornographic magazines are also viewed in this way, what they show is their beautiful side.
What about Pierce? He showed his ugliest side!
It was Garnett who kept encouraging him: “It doesn’t matter, as long as you win, the most embarrassing person will still be LeBron!”
Pierce cheered up a little.
Of course, the world’s ridicule of Pierce is still not over.
At the end of training the next day, the entire Nuggets team was also interviewed.
Reporters asked them what they thought of last night’s historic game.
Atele told reporters leisurely:
“After yesterday’s game, I immediately called my son and asked him to put on his sneakers and come to the court quickly.
I just want to see if he can beat Pierce one on one. ”
Hearing what Artest said, the reporters were stunned for a moment.
The oldest of Artest’s children is only 11 years old. No matter how talented he is, it is impossible to beat a professional player at this age.
When Ryan led the college team to defeat the Dream Team, he was already 18 years old.
So the reporter also shook his head: “Your son defeated Pierce? How is this possible Ron.”
Artest was even more excited:
“Yes, my son said the same thing yesterday. He said, how is this possible? Pierce is an NBA player.
But I told him I couldn’t see Pierce being an NBA player at all!
He scored 13 points by taking a lot of shots in the game, and was easily beaten by Ryan on the defensive end.
And you, my son.
At least you won’t be beaten straight away on the court!
So come on, I’m really curious about who would win in a duel between you two! ”
Artest’s words made the reporters burst into laughter. Sure enough, after staying with Ryan and Bird for a long time, Artest’s breast-feeding skills have improved a lot.
To this evening, Barkley and Kenny Smith are still making fun of Pierce on the show.
There is no way, Pierce’s traffic is too high now, and if you don’t do programs related to him, you won’t be able to attract viewers.
Pierce’s popularity has never been higher in his life.
However, he is worth it!
After all, apart from him, it is estimated that no public figure in this world will ever have diarrhea in public.
It can only be said that the free American people still underestimate their country too much.
It doesn’t matter if a player has diarrhea.
Diarrhea will become the norm in the future!
But after teasing Pierce, Barkley and Kenny Smith changed the subject:
“In the last game, Ryan and the Nuggets both won beautifully.
But they can’t relax too much yet.
The Boston Celtics are a team that gets more courageous as they fight, and in the last game, the Celtics also showed their ability to win the game for a certain period of time.
Ryan did indeed play very well last night, but don’t forget that there was a short period at the end of the fourth quarter when he was guarded by Tony Allen and Garnett in a somewhat embarrassing situation.
And in the end, the Nuggets only beat the Celtics by 4 points.
Therefore, although Pierce was beaten by Ryan, his name will go down in history.
But the result of the finals is still uncertain. ”
Kenny Smith and Barkley are not alarmists. In fact, leaving aside Pierce’s diarrhea incident yesterday, the Celtics’ performance was not without highlights.
Ray Allen’s excellent state, Garnett’s dedication and Teacher Tony’s excellent defense all kept the Celtics clinging to the score.
The Celtics are not helpless!
And soon, in the second game of the finals, the words of Barkley and Kenny Smith came true!
In G2 of the series, Rivers finally turned a corner, changed his strategy, and greatly increased Tony Allen’s playing time.
This brings two benefits to the team.
The first is that Ryan’s scoring is no longer so arbitrary.
The second is that Pierce is no longer useless on the offensive end.
In the last game, Pierce had to be responsible for defending Ryan and one-on-one offense. It’s no wonder that the efficiency is high.
It’s normal for two people who are most difficult to deal with each other to face each other at once. It’s normal and nothing to be ashamed of.
But today, when Pierce only needed to concentrate on dealing with the offense, his efficiency suddenly became much higher.
Artest’s defense was similar to the previous game, but Pierce scored many difficult goals.
Ray Allen’s score dropped sharply today because he was tightly guarded by Ryan, and he only scored 11 points.
But Garnett remained strong and scored a huge double-double with 21 points and 14 rebounds!
Garnett, who was known as a softie before, is the toughest man on the team in the playoffs this season!
The Celtics adjusted their condition in time and were not affected by the embarrassing scene in the last game.
In the end, they also won G2 96-91, and the total score of the series became 1-1!
In G3, after the game returned to North Shore Garden, the two teams fought a shocking defensive battle.
For the Celtics, only Garnett and Ray Allen scored in double figures.
Pierce’s resurrection in the last game completely activated Artest’s fighting spirit.
Today, he stalked Pierce throughout the game and even hugged Pierce and threw him to the basket in the first round.
He was pressed down as soon as he came up, and he didn’t say a word of nonsense, which is quite European and American style.
Although he was called for a defensive foul, Artest undoubtedly wanted to express his determination with this ball.
In the subsequent games, Artest’s defense against Pierce was completely as intense as a wrestling match.
As soon as Pierce stood ready to catch the ball, Artest would immediately knock him away and squeeze in front of Pierce to cut off the passing lane.
Pierce responded to Artest in the same way, knocking him away and blocking him behind him. Artest then pushed Pierce’s lower body with his legs, destroyed his center of gravity, and suddenly pushed him again, and then circled back to Pierce.
Before the ball was even caught, the fight between the two began fiercely.
Under such a defense, Pierce couldn’t even catch the ball, let alone score.
You know, in order to defend Ryan, the Celtics removed Rondo, who was responsible for feeding the ball, and replaced Tony Allen.
So now no one can feed the ball to Pierce in the mid-range on this defense.
If Pierce wants to catch the ball, he can only go outside the three-point line to catch the ball, and then start a one-on-one with Artest from outside the three-point line.
He couldn’t even touch the ball in his sweet spot in the mid-range!
But it doesn’t matter if the offense is not good, the Celtics’ defense is also at its best.
For the Nuggets, today the entire team was also defended and only two players scored in double figures.
Ryan scored 36 points, and the other one who scored in double figures was the old Miller on the bench, who scored 20 points.
Old Miller used his big butt and back-up skills to bully Rondo, who was not yet mature enough.
Ryan scored 36 points by making 11 of 12 free throws.
Today, the referee’s whistle was actually not tight.
You know, when Ryan broke through in the first round, he was directly hit by Perkins and Garnett with their hands on him. The basketball finally fell to the ground and Ryan tripped after picking it up. That’s it, the referee didn’t call a foul.
Ryan’s 12 free throws today were really a sacrifice of his life.
Unless absolutely necessary, the referee will not blow the whistle easily.
Fans who have watched the two yellow-green battles in the original history know very well what level of defensive intensity it was at that time.
Now, Ryan is playing against that level of defense.
If you want to get free throws, you really have to be fearless.
But in front of the honor of three consecutive championships, Ryan has put other things aside.
He was taken down time and time again, stood up, and made free throws. Got taken down, stood up, made free throws.
The free throws won in this way cannot be compared to the free throws sent directly to you by the referee.
In the end, neither team defended each other to a team-wide shooting percentage of less than 40%.
Only two players on the team scored in double figures.
But in the end, the Nuggets won this difficult game 88-82 in North Shore Garden!
2 to 1, the Nuggets temporarily lead!
In G4 of the series, the game continued this slow-paced and melee-fighting style.
The difference is that Ray Allen began to show his magical powers!
He performed the greatest three-point performance in the history of the Finals today!
In the first half of the game, Ray Allen shot 7 three-pointers, breaking Jordan’s “Battle of Hands” record of 6 three-pointers in a half and creating Finals history!
Ryan’s trash talk against Ray Allen was all ineffective. After all, Ray’s character is not that domineering.
And after Ray Allen’s touch came, Ryan’s close defense failed to hold down the gentleman many times.
He can always use stable shooting movements to hit long shots again and again.
Ryan’s talent fragments of blocking shots and rebound speed are only useful when defending the opponent’s attack on the frame.
Therefore, it is difficult for him to directly block Ray Allen’s shot.
In fact, Ryan blocked Junzi Lei twice from outside the three-point line, but he still failed to prevent the miracle of 7 three-pointers in the half!
In the second half, after his hand disappeared, Ray Allen only scored one three-pointer, 1 of 3.
But the Celtics relied on the advantage accumulated in the first half and finally won the game 98-91!
After the game, Jun Zilei was covered in sweat, but he didn’t mention his record at all:
“There’s no better time or place to get a win than this!
I don’t care about the record, I’m just happy to help the team win.
2 to 2!
We all still have a chance to win the O’Brien Trophy! ”
At this point, after the shit-poetry battle in G1, the Celtics used their strength to win back the recognition of the fans.
They are the only team that can really limit Ryan’s scoring.
They are also the only team with three players who can take turns to score points.
In the past few games, none of the Celtics’ Big Three showed their power at the same time.
But no matter what, two people will step up and score.
And, it is worth mentioning that this is the first time the Denver Nuggets have lost two games in the Finals!
In the 2006 championship, after the Nuggets found a way to limit Wade, they defeated the Heat 4-1.
It’s okay not to mention last season! There’s no story, it’s all accidents!
In short, the Nuggets have never lost more than one game in the finals!
This season, the Celtics actually forced the total score to 2-2!
It can be seen that the Big Three are indeed the biggest opponents the Nuggets have ever encountered!
The Battle of Tianwang Mountain continues in the North Bank Garden.
Last time, the Celtics turned up the temperature in the visiting team’s locker room.
Today, the Celtics deliberately kept the temperature in the locker room very low.
The low temperature has indeed limited the Nuggets’ touch. Today, the Nuggets’ overall shooting rate is still not high.
However, the Celtics’ own offense was also in shambles.
Ray Allen, who was so accurate last time, can he be defended this time? It’s only 30% here.
Garnett only scored 13 points in the game.
Pierce scored 28 points and was the only Big Three player to perform well.
However, it was not Ryan who killed the game today.
Ryan’s touch was very bad. He only scored 20 points in the game and his shooting percentage was only 38%!
This is Ryan’s lowest shooting percentage in the finals!
Fierce muscle confrontation and vicious fouls have exhausted Ryan’s touch.
In fact, at the last moment of today’s fourth quarter, the Celtics still led.
But as the team’s veteran, AK, who was also about to wear three championship rings, came up with a touch at the last moment.
He had scored three three-pointers in the previous four games combined. This time at the critical moment, he made two long-distance shots from outside the three-point line and two headshots!
Relying on AK’s two consecutive three-pointers, the Nuggets narrowly won 86-84!
Ryan has saved the Russians countless times. This time, it is AK’s turn to save Ryan.
3 to 2, the Nuggets won Tianwangshan!
But Celtic fans are not worried. In the words of the Boston on-site commentator: “Ryan is already dying!”
Indeed, Ryan’s offense played very poorly today.
Although Ryan also guarded Ray Allen, he and Ray Allen were able to match each other.
But it’s not enough to win. After all, the Nuggets don’t have the Big Three.
Even without Ray Allen, the Celtics still have Pierce and KG.
Where’s Ryan? You can’t expect the AK47 to hit three-pointers at critical moments every time.
Ryan will never have a shooting game like this again.
But the whole world knows that it is difficult!
The confrontation in this round of the series is too fierce. Ever since G2 Tony Allen began to be responsible for defending Ryan with Garnett, Ryan’s offense has not been easy.
In the fifth game, Ryan’s hand was visibly exhausted.
It’s hard to expect Ryan to suddenly regain his feeling in the next two games.
And the Nuggets are a team that relies heavily on Ryan’s personal scoring. If Ryan can’t score efficiently, then the entire Nuggets team’s scoring will be finished!
Therefore, although the Celtics lost this game.
But Boston fans all believe that the Green Legion will go to the Nuggets floor to celebrate!
At least the Celtics proved that Ryan is not invincible. They proved that Ryan can also be defended very awkwardly!
Today, Ryan has used all his strength to stop Lu Kai.
But what happens after that? Who else can step forward?
So after winning today, the entire Nuggets team had no happy expressions.
In fact, they are also having a headache with this problem.
Today in Tianwangshan, the Celtics almost locked up Ryan, and AK’s two three-pointers in the end were really lucky.
But in the next two games, luck alone cannot win.
The Denver Miners have encountered their biggest crisis since the finals!
The last step of winning three consecutive championships encountered the biggest obstacle.
And when the team cannot open up space, the only one who can solve this problem is Ryan himself.
Today’s 10,000-word update is here! The conscientious old man kneels down and begs for a monthly ticket! Thank you stepfathers!
