He just played basketball and became the chosen one. - Chapter 209

c208 : No one in the team is easy to talk to! The most terrifying alliance

Ryan’s speech on the TNT program completely kicked off the war with the Heat’s Big Three.

If it were before, the two parties were just shyly brushing aside each other and being ambiguous with each other.

So now, the two sides are equivalent to a complete showdown.

Stop pretending, they just want to fuck each other hard!

It stands to reason that this much-anticipated lively situation is something Stern is very happy to see.

But as the new season approaches, Stern is a little worried.

He was afraid that Ryan would really be beaten down by the Heat’s Big Three!

Ryan’s income in the NBA in the past few years has been the highest among all players, which shows how high Ryan’s commercial value is.

A commercial basketball league naturally needs stars with high commercial value to attract fans.

Ryan didn’t play a full game in the previous two seasons, so even if the Nuggets didn’t produce results, it wouldn’t affect Ryan’s commercial value.

But if the Nuggets are really taken over by Miami’s Big Three next season, Ryan’s value will inevitably be affected.

The demise of the league’s number one cash cow is not a good thing. Apart from anything else, the advertising revenue is completely different between the finals with Ryan and the finals without Ryan.

Logically speaking, Stern need not worry about this kind of thing.

Because under normal circumstances, after James defeats Ryan, he will naturally succeed Ryan and become the next face of the league, the next national idol, and continue to make money for the league.

It is normal for stars to iterate, just like when Jordan defeated Magic in the Finals, the league transitioned smoothly from the Magic Birds era to the Jordan era.

But the Heat’s team formation method has caused a problem, that is, even if James wins, he probably won’t get much praise!

Even if the Heat win the championship, the league won’t be able to tell a story.

The reason why the NBA is so attractive is that there are often many storylines in real games.

Since the full commercialization in the 1980s, the legend of the Magic Birds, the rise of Jordan, Olajuwon’s championship heart, Jordan’s return of the king, the reappearance of the OK legend, and the blue-collar legend of the Pistons.

All of these stories keep fans hooked on the NBA.

But what about the Heat winning the championship? Because it is so natural, there is no story theme to promote at all.

Is it possible to take shortcuts by letting Stern promote the group?

The betting company currently offers odds of 1 to 1.7 for the Heat to win the championship. This shows that the outside world thinks that the Heat win the championship is a matter of course.

The lower the odds number, the more favorable the proof. What is the concept of odds of 1 to 1.7? For comparison, the highest odds for Jordan’s Bulls were only 1 to 2.0.

The Nuggets’ winning odds this season are even 1 to 20!

Even if James wins, he will be taken for granted, and no one will think how bad he is.

Even if he wins, he will not be able to take over the scepter from Ryan and become the next face of the alliance.

The same is true for Wade. Even if he really leads the Heat to win the championship, his commercial value cannot replace Ryan.

After all, in the world of competitive sports, who would want to watch this kind of utilitarian business basketball?

Ryan’s commercial value has been reduced, and the league can only promote James and Wade.

But in that case, it is estimated that the ratings of the entire league will be affected.

Once the Big Three succeed and are highly praised, the entire league will inevitably follow suit.

Stars will start to play together instead of against each other. Can this game be exciting?

Because of this, Stern did not dare to arrange for the Nuggets and Heat to play the opening game directly.

He was worried that the Nuggets would be defeated by the Heat as soon as they started, causing the season to completely lose suspense.

However, the Nuggets’ new general manager Jerry West dismissed the Nuggets’ championship odds.

When being interviewed by reporters, West’s attitude was very direct.

This eccentric old man never likes to beat around the bush, and he will scold whatever he doesn’t like:

“If those spinach guys know basketball, what do they want us to do?

Just let the boss of the gambling company be the head coach and general manager!

Just let the president of the alliance cooperate with the gambling company! ”

Logo feels that those who think the Big Three can win the championship in the first year are basically ball blind.

Because although the Heat’s three giants are individually very strong, they are not compatible with each other at all.

A large part of the reason why the Celtics’ Big Three are successful is that neither Garnett nor Ray Allen needs the ball, and they do not conflict with Pierce’s singles style.

And even though they had a tacit understanding, they finally won the championship in 2009 after Ryan was injured and Rondo grew up.

But the Heat are different. Wade, James and Bosh are all ball-handling players, and their styles are mutually exclusive.

It’s really hard to imagine what it would be like for James to play without the ball.

Therefore, how the Big Three can exert the effect of 1+1+1 equals 3 on the court is a huge problem.

With their unparalleled talent, the Heat’s regular season record will certainly not be too bad.

But winning the championship? I think Logo has no chance at all.

If we really want to compete for the championship, it depends on the Nuggets!

Because the situation of the Nuggets is exactly the opposite of that of the Heat. The Nuggets’ players are average individually, but when combined together they can exert tremendous power.

Logo can’t wait to see how explosive the team’s fighting power will be.

At the media conference on the first day of the pre-season training camp, West, Mike Malone and Ryan appeared on the same stage in public for the first time.

Since the beginning of the meeting, the reporters’ flashlights have not stopped.

This new trio at the helm will determine the future of the Nuggets.

Of course, not all of these reporters have good intentions.

Some reporters from Miami had tough questions to ask.

Considering that both Ryan and Logo are already experienced in dealing with the media, Miami reporters decided to tease the inexperienced new coach Mike Malone first.

Sure enough, what men like most is always new tea.

A reporter from Miami Sports News took the lead:

“Coach Mike Malone, Ryan said before that he would bring the Nuggets back into contention.

Do you have any magic tips for achieving your goals?

There shouldn’t be only one Ryan crazy single on your tactical board, right?

After all, if Ryan chooses to stay so “loyally”, he must also hope to produce more data in Denver where there are no other stars, right? ”

The reporter asked Mike Malone with a teasing and mocking tone and attitude, making it clear that he wanted to see the rookie coach embarrass himself at the press conference.

I thought that the new rookie coach would be easy to bully, but little did I know that in his first official interview, Mike Malone demonstrated his great onmyoji skills to the fullest:

“You can see that you were smart enough to think that I would stumble over this issue and that I would be caught off guard by taking over the team.

Your stinking sense of superiority literally filled the room, and you thought deep down that I had nothing tactical to say against the Miami Heat.

Do you think that by choosing to stay in Denver, Ryan was foolishly digging a hole for himself and cunningly trying to improve his statistics.

LeBron’s move to Miami is just a transfer in the conventional sense.

Haha, misinterpret Ryan’s “persistence in difficult situations” as “foolish loyalty to the capitalists.”

Replace LeBron’s “escape” with “leave”.

Your plan to secretly change the concept is simply step-by-step and exquisite.

Don’t worry, we will definitely achieve our goals next season.

We are not like some people who only know how to retreat and escape when encountering difficulties.

We must admit that as a nearly new team, it is indeed difficult to return to the championship next season.

But this does not become an excuse for us to give up!

We have a complete plan and strategy to get the team back on track next season.

Finally, I wish you play like LeBron James. ”

The Miami reporter immediately blushed: “Ah, why are you still attacking me personally!?”

Instead of letting the Miami reporter succeed, Mike Malone actually made him blush.

Ryan on the side wanted to applaud him, otherwise what would happen to the two of us? I just like people like you who are not afraid of being cheated on!

Other reporters were also shocked. Mike Malone has been working with James for the past five years.

As assistant coaches of the Cavaliers, even if he and James are not friends, they have been colleagues for so many years.

It stands to reason that he and Ajan should maintain a close relationship of mutual business promotion.

Mike Malone boasted about how great James is and how successful he will be after joining the Heat.

James boasted about how good Mike Malone is and how he will become the top coach in Denver.

Everyone is happy.

As a result, Mike Malone didn’t save any face for Ajan and started telling the truth!

In fact, during the Cavaliers period, Malone did not have any prejudice against James. He even felt that James’s spirit of fighting for his hometown despite hardships was particularly touching.

After all, James’ arrival gave the team its first trip to the Finals, gave the team its first MVP, and brought the team real attention for the first time in its history.

He has no credit for Cleveland.

But Malone, who has a straightforward personality, was completely indifferent to James the moment James decided to leave the Cavaliers.

Because James could obviously be nicer to his hometown fans and team. He didn’t have to do a big, commercial live broadcast across the United States, and then stab his hometown fans in the chest during the national broadcast.

Everyone knows that joining the Heat is a smart decision. But “lack of competition” and “escape from competition” are probably the most hated things in competitive sports.

In fact, James may never have changed.

In 2006, when he first threw the buzzer-beating ball to Snow, who had no scoring ability at all, and when he threw the buzzer-beating ball to Hughes against Ryan.

The world has always wanted LeBron James to be a hero, but he always handles problems in a reasonable and smart way.

This time, the world still wants LeBron to be a hero. As a result, James made a “smart” decision as always.

Because of this, Mike Malone’s admiration and affection for James completely disappeared.

Therefore, he will not save any face for James. As long as he seizes the opportunity, he will definitely expose his background!

Answering a question for the first time as a head coach, Mike Malone showed his “not easy to mess with” image.

The reporters from Miami hesitated for a while, feeling that the new head coach was not easy to mess with!

But if they just go back in despair, they will feel aggrieved.

You didn’t come all the way to the Rockies just to be humiliated.

No, I must establish my authority in Denver today!

As a result, reporters in Miami targeted the Logo Man again:

“Jerry, taking over the Denver Nuggets is undoubtedly a new challenge for you.

But when the lineup on paper is not dominant, do you think the team can successfully achieve its goal? ”

Logo immediately frowned, and his loud voice instantly shook the whole room:

“The paper lineup is not dominant? Which team is the dominant team on paper? Is it the South Coast team?

Their combined team has won more MVPs and championships than Ryan alone.

So, where is the brilliance of their lineup? Why don’t we have an advantage?

We have a group of players who dare to play and fight hard. This alone is something that many teams cannot match? ”

Although he didn’t directly name him, Logo gave the Heat another yin and yang.

The reporters were convinced. They finally knew why Logo and Mike Malone were able to get together.

These two guys are totally in tune with each other!

Mike Malone is not easy to mess with, and Logo Man is even harder to mess with.

Therefore, the only people left who can ask questions now are.

The reporters from Miami all turned their attention to Ryan, with despair on their faces.

Damn it, the Nuggets don’t have anyone to talk to right now!

How will the press conference continue this season? ?

A bunch of local Denver reporters and reporters from China raised their hands enthusiastically, wanting to ask Lane questions.

The reporters from Miami suddenly became well-behaved.

But Ryan just named the Miami reporter who first asked Mike Malone: ​​”You ask?”

The Miami reporter looked confused. I didn’t even raise my hand, so why bother pointing me?

Ryan, just be a human being!

But there is no way, now the whole audience is looking at the reporter, he is riding a tiger and is unable to get off.

So, the Miami reporter, who was aggressive at first, just asked weakly:

“Ryan, the opening game is about to face the Oklahoma City Thunder, which was so brilliant last season. Facing last season’s scoring champion Kevin Durant, what do you think your winning rate is?

As a new generation of scoring champion, how much trouble can Kevin Durant cause you? ”

His change of appearance was to shift the focus of discussion from James to Durant.

In this way, it is impossible for Ryan to deliberately mock Ajan, right?

But as a dedicated man who always only likes beautiful women, Ryan, how could he let Adu replace Ajan’s position.

“Don’t worry, the trouble the Thunder has brought to me cannot be greater than the trouble the Celtics have brought to the Heat.

I really hope that both us and the Heat win the opening game, but unfortunately, the Heat’s Big Three will be revealed before they meet me.

However, I still want to remind the Celtics that they must not underestimate the Heat’s second-in-command LeBron! ”

The reporters from Miami had dirty looks on their faces. They originally came to Denver today to make trouble, but they were so reviled that they couldn’t even speak.

The Nuggets’ new season media day is simply the Heat’s judgment day!

Whether it’s the Logo, Malone or Ryan, they are all very specific to the Heat!

There is no way, James started the matter first, there is no reason for the Nuggets to give in.

But right now, what the Nuggets need to solve is indeed not the Heat, but the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Ryan knows that the Heat’s Big Three in history lost to the Celtics’ Big Three in the opening game.

Therefore, Ryan must not lose the opening game, otherwise the Heat will not be so embarrassed.

The Thunder fought the champion Lakers in six games in the first round of the playoffs last season before being eliminated. Facts have proved that they have the ability to compete with the defending champions.

And this season, the Thunder have grown into a Western Conference Finals-level team!

In the original history, in the 2011 Western Conference Finals, if the Thunder hadn’t met the godly Nowitzki, they would have entered the Finals a year early.

Ryan knows the level of this Thunder team very well, so he doesn’t dare to slack off at all.

It’s time for the world to see how this new Denver Nuggets play!

The time in the pre-season training camp passed very quickly, Ryan got along well with his new teammates, and the team adjusted very smoothly.

In addition to being very consistent with Mike Malone’s system, the players signed by Logo Man also have very good personalities.

Never push for trouble, never resist, and satisfy the boss’s various postures and requirements~

Kevin Love is a great guy. On the first day I joined the team, I brought gifts to all my teammates.

Jamal Crawford, although he is a guy who needs the ball in his hands, is a sixth man who does not compete for it.

Like Ryan, Milicic, who entered the league in 2003, was once unruly, but now his edges have been smoothed by the cruelty of society.

White guard Ridnour has never had a bad temper, and Wesley Matthews, as an undrafted player, has an extremely low profile.

When Matthews first reported to the team, he happened to meet Artest in the underground parking lot, so Matthews skillfully took Artest’s bag and helped him carry it into the locker room.

As a second-year rookie and still undrafted, Wesley Matthews has simply developed a conditioned reflex to serve tea and water.

Artest almost didn’t cry at the time. After so many years, he finally truly felt his lofty status as the team’s top 1.5 player!

In short, it is difficult for these new people to join the Nuggets to stink up the atmosphere in the locker room.

Everyone cooperated very happily, and Mike Malone’s strategy made everyone feel very comfortable.

Because when Logo recruits players, they do so in accordance with the needs of the system.

He seemed to be doing a fill-in-the-blank question, filling in the correct answers one by one.

Who can be unhappy if you do what you are good at in a suitable system?

Therefore, in the preseason of the 10-11 season, the Nuggets achieved a record of winning 6 games!

On the other hand, the Heat were even counterattacked by the Charlotte Bobcats.

Although the preseason is just training, it can also reflect some problems.

On the Nuggets side, the team’s offensive operation is visibly smooth to the naked eye.

Moreover, the Nuggets’ team offense has become very powerful.

In the past few years, the Nuggets have always been a team with a weak team offense, and their offense relied on Ryan.

But this year, the team can score too many points.

Kevin Love can post up near the penalty area.

Wesley Matthews’ three-pointer was impossible to defend against.

Millsap can face up to the basket and can also catch the ball and make mid-range shots.

The dramatic improvement in Kyle Lowry’s three-point shooting is incredible.

On the bench, there is Crawford who can step up and score.

Although none of them are first-rate scorers, their scoring abilities are above average.

It feels like “one king with four kings”.

The Nuggets’ lineup, which doesn’t look bright enough, does have something.

On the other hand, the Heat’s poor preseason record is largely due to Spoelstra’s deliberate control of the Big Three’s playing time.

But this still cannot conceal the fact that except for the Big Three, the Heat’s other rotation players are too weak.

There have been very few examples of the Big Three teams being able to dominate the league for a long time. Firstly, it is because they are all older when they get together, and secondly, because the Big Three have taken up all the salary space, resulting in the team having no outstanding role players available.

Although the Heat have successfully circumvented the age issue, although the Big Three have all accepted salary cuts. But the problem of insufficient quality of role players still plagues them.

This team is very obviously top-heavy. Apart from the Big Three, there is no fourth player who can have an impact on the game.

Moreover, the coexistence problem of the three giants has also begun to emerge.

In the preseason, people didn’t see much exquisite coordination between the Big Three. James and Wade basically took the ball and played alone.

Bosh picked up some leftovers and ate them.

And after the first game of the preseason, James said something very thought-provoking in an interview:

“I’m not a follower, I’ve never considered myself a follower.”

The implication: I’m not here to assist Wade.

Perhaps it was Ryan’s words, “Beware of LeBron, the second-best leader of the Heat,” that stimulated James’ nerves and made him say such words.

At this time, people don’t know that James’ attitude may change the outcome of the entire season.

In short, the performance of the Nuggets and Heat in the preseason was very surprising.

The Nuggets, who were expected to struggle, played quite strongly.

The Heat, who thought they would be strong, had no dominance at all.

But Heat fans have reason to say: No one really takes it seriously in the preseason, right? You don’t really squeeze yourself dry when someone is having foreplay, do you?

Losing in the preseason is nothing, let’s just see who can win the opening game!

In the 10-11 season, Stern arranged a total of three opening games.

Among them are Heat VS Celtics and Nuggets VS Thunder.

Who is the real championship team between the Heat and the Nuggets? You will get the answer soon!

Miami fans are still quite nervous. After all, the Celtics’ Big Three are not just ordinary people.

But at the same time, they also have a fluke mentality and feel that the Nuggets’ winning rate is even lower!

The Nuggets were able to record 6 wins and 0 losses in the preseason, mainly because the team ran smoothly and the role players performed well.

But because Ryan doesn’t have much playing time, his connection with others doesn’t seem that strong.

And if the star player is outside the system, the upper limit of the team’s strength will not be too high.

Some people doubt it, and some people expect it.

Right under the spotlight.

The opening game of the 10-11 season has finally arrived!

October 26, Pepsi Center.

Denver fans finally have a promising season.

But the people of Oklahoma City think so too.

Kevin Durant has grown into the league’s strongest shooting star.

Westbrook may be the most explosive one-position player in NBA history.

Sefolosha used his perseverance and long arms to make Kobe Bryant uncomfortable.

Last season, the Thunder came within a whisker of overturning the eventual champion Lakers.

This season, as Durant, Westbrook and Sefolosha continue to evolve, Oklahoma City people believe that this team can directly hit the championship!

Fans of both teams are full of expectations for the performance of their home team, but tonight, one side will be disappointed!

In the Pepsi Center locker room, Ryan stared at Love, lost in thought.

Love was a little embarrassed by Ryan. This white power forward has a model-like face and body, but he doesn’t have these just for men to watch!

Love had stopped moving, but Ryan was still staring at him.

It wasn’t until Mike Malone pushed the door open that Ryan came back to his senses and looked away.

In fact, what Ryan just watched wasn’t Love.

Instead, he stared at the cabinet that originally belonged to Weber.

Speaking of which, the Nuggets’ lineup has really changed a lot.

Weber and Ben have withdrawn from the arena, and Ellis has set up his own business.

Although Artest and AK were not traded away, they can no longer serve as starters.

This Nuggets are a completely different team.

Thinking of this, Ryan finally stopped staring at Love.

He stood up and looked around.

After two seasons, many things have changed.

But one thing will never change, and that is to continue the glory of your career!

Players from both sides took their places on the court, and fans all over the world were staring at Ryan.

On the other side, the Thunder were also present at the Pepsi Center.

The handsome man attracted everyone’s attention as soon as he appeared on the stage.

Although his appearance is hard to describe, the drinks he likes to drink are also different from ordinary people.

But there is indeed something about strength.

The two teams are ready for the starting lineup. For the Thunder, the starting five for this period are Westbrook, Sefolosha, Durant, Jeff Green and Ibaka.

This Thunder can be said to be both offensive and defensive, and has officially begun to reach its peak.

As for the Nuggets, the starting lineup shocked everyone.

Because the two veterans, Artest and AK, actually fell out of the starting lineup completely under Mike Malone’s system!

This year, the Nuggets’ starting five are Lowry, Wesley Matthews, Ryan, Millsap and Love!

In the previous preseason, Artest and AK only started one game each. But everyone thought Mike Malone was adjusting the lineup, so they didn’t think much about it.

Who knew that Mike Malone actually pulled them out!

The current young lineup of the Nuggets makes some on-site commentators feel bold:

“This means that the Nuggets really bid farewell to the past era!

New style of play, new players, new coach.

The Denver Nuggets have entered a new path to the championship!

But can this lineup really succeed? ”

Everyone knows that there are risks in the new lineup.

Lowry and Millsap did not perform well in the starting lineup last season. Matthews and Love are new additions, and it is unclear whether they will integrate well with the team.

With four people like this and one Ryan, one can’t help but wonder, does Mike Malone have the real stuff or is he just making things up?

The game started soon. On the Thunder’s side, the terrifyingly long Ibaka jumped off the ground and soared high into the air, fighting for the ball first.

The ball was in Westbrook’s hands, and as soon as he came up, Westbrook showed what an explosive point guard is.

The moment he caught the basketball, Agui accelerated directly and quickly crossed the defense line. Relying on his abnormal physical fitness, he immediately entered the penalty area, then jumped high into the sky and launched a thunderous posture.

Turtle’s college teammate Kevin Love didn’t have enough frame protection to stop this dunk. Love didn’t even take off to stop it, because he knew that his take-off would only result in an unnecessary dunk. It’s just a foul.

As a result, Westbrook succeeded in a direct tomahawk chop, just like the arrival of the thunder god.

The Thunder scored an easy goal right out of the gate.

On the first attack, the most worrying thing about the Nuggets’ starting lineup happened immediately.

The frame-protecting ability of this first set is visible to the naked eye.

Although they both started as guards and then switched to playing inside, Kevin Love and Ben are like two different species.

Love really has the skills of a defender, but he has to play inside because of his height.

Ben has nothing to do with the outside except his height.

Ben can rely on his athletic ability to thrive in the paint, but Love is completely unable to set up the no-fly zone in the penalty area like Ben.

Although Millsap has excellent defensive skills, he is not a shot-blocking maniac like Kirilenko.

Therefore, when people first saw this lineup, they could tell that the Nuggets’ frame protection would be a problem.

During the three consecutive championships, the Nuggets were a top-notch defensive team.

Why was James so embarrassed in the 2007 Finals? Because he was forced to shoot from the outside again and again, he couldn’t easily attack the Nuggets’ basket.

But now? Westbrook dunks easily.

Nuggets fans were not used to it when they saw the opponent easily entering the penalty area and scoring.

The camera showed Mike Malone, and the on-site commentator also asked:

“Can this rookie coach’s bold formation have a positive effect?”

This weak defense almost made Heat fans laugh to tears.

Before the season, wasn’t it said that the Cavaliers’ defensive system was actually built by Mike Malone?

This Liu Biao is so hilarious!

Just like that, you still have the nerve to clamor to return to the championship?

However, Ryan and Logo Man were not too upset.

In fact, this is what they both expected.

Mike Malone is indeed a defensive coach, but what really impressed Logo and Ryan was his offensive setup!

The game continued. After Lowry brought the ball across the half court, he immediately gave the ball to Ryan.

Sefolosha immediately stuck to him, not daring to slack off at all.

Although the Swiss Army Knife’s defense is quite good, everyone knows that no matter how good a single defender is, Ryan cannot be defeated.

The Thunder naturally know this, so they are not using Sefolosha to defend alone.

Durant, Ibaka and Jeff Green are all ready to help defend Ryan.

Although the Thunder are defensive, they are very proactive.

The entire team is about to launch a pincer attack on Ryan!

Ryan used his hands to separate Sefolosha, who was on defense, and then quickly changed direction and broke through directly!

Sefolosha tried to steal the ball, but missed it. Because the moment he started to steal, Ryan made a second quick change of direction and passed directly by Sefolosha!

The whole audience exclaimed, Ryan’s double change of direction was indeed beautiful. Although Ryan can use his body to carry Sefolosha into the penalty area, it will undoubtedly affect Ryan’s breakthrough speed, so that he will be blocked by the Thunder’s attack before he reaches the penalty area.

But a clean double change of direction prevented Ryan’s starting speed from being damaged at all!

Sefolosha looked back in disbelief. The timing of his steal was already very accurate.

But Ryan was able to change directions so smoothly in such a short period of time.

You know, Ryan is not a defender, but a tall and long-armed forward!

In the training ground, Sefolosha stole Durant as if it was just for fun. For a player as tall as Adu and with long arms, it is not easy to really practice dribbling well.

Although Ryan’s dribbling ability is better than Adu, he is a striker after all. Sefolosha feels that he should be able to intercept the ball easily.

But I didn’t expect Ryan to break through himself so easily with his dribbling skills!

Ryan completed the breakthrough and strode into the penalty area.

But the Thunder’s defense was still in place. Ibaka guarded the basket and Jeff Green immediately retreated into the penalty area.

Durant pursued the defense, and Sefolosha and Westbrook also ran in.

Ryan is surrounded by Thunder players wearing blue jerseys!

Ryan jumped up, but there was no gap to attack the frame.

Even Ryan can only choose to pass the ball now.

Ryan did exactly that, and was seen twisting his body in the air toward Millsap on the left, trying to pass the ball in the air.

Westbrook has quick eyes and quick hands. He spotted the direction and target of Ryan’s pass, and used his incredible speed to “teleport” to the passing route.

This is his best way to steal!

But when Westbrook opened his fingers to catch the ball from Ryan, Ryan passed the ball from his armpit to the right side in the air, facing Millsap on the left, and made an unexpected move. The ball was passed to Kevin Love who was ambushing in the right corner!

This is simply a high-end version of Jay Chou’s operation!

Such a difficult pass makes Logo feel like he is looking at a magician.

Fans all over the world were stunned for a moment. When did Ryan learn to make noises in the air?

Ryan has always given people the impression of being a scorer, and his passing ability just doesn’t hold him back.

But this kind of magic pass, which is like changing positions, is still too unexpected.

Ryan really couldn’t pass this kind of ball before, but now, after the summer upgrade, Ryan’s passing attribute has reached 79.

After the morning club training, Ryan received Lowry’s trait reward, which resulted in +3 for passing and dribbling.

This brings Ryan’s passing and dribbling attributes to 80 and 82 respectively!

With 80% dribbling, Ryan was able to pass Sefolosha with a skillful double change.

The passing attribute of 82, coupled with the magician’s passing action package, makes it effortless for Ryan to pass the ball just now!

After Love caught the basketball, there was no one around him.

The corner of Mike Malone’s mouth curled up, his tactical system was successful in the first round!

Love, he is one of the few insiders in this era who can stably output from beyond the three-point line.

Last season, Love shot 33 percent from 3-point range. Although the production volume is not high, the soft feel has been proved.

This season, Mike Malone has completely liberated Love’s three-point ability, allowing him to take as many long shots as possible from beyond the three-point line.

In Mike Malone’s view, it is not a treasonous thing for a center player to take long shots.

Since a short man like Ben can also protect the frame, a short man like Rondo can also be a rebounder.

Why can’t the big man be a shooter?

In this country where changing gender has become ZZZQ, what’s so strange about the function of changing positions in basketball games?

So Love took a decisive shot after catching the ball. The basketball drew a high arc and finally hit the net!

Ryan used a beautiful assist to help Love hit a three-pointer and complete the lead!

Love just lost two points due to poor protection of the frame, but he quickly got all the lost points back!

Love made a solid hit on his first shot in the Nuggets’ official game. Mike Breen also laughed and said:

“Ryan got the love back!”

The Thunder just felt aggrieved. They had completely suppressed Ryan, but Ryan actually used that exaggerated pass to find his teammates outside the three-point line.

And when he first contracted, no one thought about guarding Love.

Teams in this era are not yet in the habit of defending the 5th position and shooting three-pointers.

Allowing Love to shoot wide open shots is almost the same as giving up defense.

At this time, people have seen a little value in Love’s starting position.

Immediately afterwards, Durant’s catch under the interference of Millsap came out of the frame.

Although Millsap is in the fourth position, he doesn’t suffer at all from his speed when switching to Durant.

Millsap is like dried super glue, making it difficult for Durant to completely shake off.

Facts have proved that the defense of the Nuggets’ lineup is not without merit. At least Millsap is a high-quality forward defensive matchup.

Durant missed the attack, and then the fans saw the basketball bounce in the direction of Love. While occupying a favorable position, Love blocked Ibaka, who was much more athletic than himself, and protected the rebound.

Thunder fans gritted their teeth, Love is so lucky. If the basketball hadn’t just bounced towards him, the more athletic Ibaka would have been able to grab the offensive rebound!

However, anyone who knows football knows that Love did not rely on luck to grab these rebounds.

Many people may have forgotten that Love was a terrifying rebounding monster at the beginning of his career.

In this season in history, he averaged 15.2 rebounds per game!

You say he is a brush? The problem is that he also has the highest number of offensive rebounds in the league, averaging 4.5 per game!

For comparison, Master Huo, who was flying and escaping from the ground, only had 14.5 rebounds at most in his career!

Love has an excellent sense of rebounding. He often appears in the most correct position before the basketball is bounced, so it gives people the illusion that “the basketball always flies just in his direction.”

In addition, Love’s strong strength also allows him to firmly stay in advantageous positions.

Yes, strength was one of Love’s strengths before losing weight.

In the original history, Love, who moved to the Cavaliers, had to lose weight due to injuries and the team’s style of play, which led to a decline in strength and greatly weakened positioning ability. Only then did he lose his dominance on the rebounding end.

But now this Love is definitely a first-rate rebounder!

After Love’s strong protection of the rebound, people began to change their views on this team’s defense.

This team is tougher than it looks!

The miners in the Rocky Mountains are indeed first-class men!

After grabbing the rebound, Love handed the ball to Ryan steadily.

Because the Thunder retreated quickly, the Nuggets had no chance to grab a fast break.

Therefore, Ryan took control of the ball and passed halftime.

But this time, Ryan no longer held the ball, but handed the ball to Love who was stuck in the low post.

Love is used differently with Ryan than with James.

In the Cavaliers, both Ajan and Irving need to hold the ball, so Love basically becomes a pure off-ball shooter.

And because Ryan is more capable without the ball and can exert his power without the ball, he can appropriately give the ball to Love.

Love has the ability to play with his back, and his support ability is quite good in the paint. If he holds the ball, he will undoubtedly play a greater role.

In this round, Ryan immediately cut in after handing over the ball, and then Love gave the ball to Ryan who cut in the low post.

This is one of Ryan’s most familiar ways of playing. Ryan was already used to playing this way when Webber was still there.

However, the Thunder’s help defense is still very fast.

The moment Ryan received the ball inside, he was once again surrounded by players in blue!

Ryan jumped up and retrieved the basketball in the air. Everyone thought he was going to make a difficult pull.

However, Ryan took the ball back and passed it behind his head, and passed it to Lowry at the three-point line with arrogance and accuracy!

However, after Ryan passed such an exquisite ball, the entire Thunder team breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, everyone knows that Lowry can’t shoot three-pointers, and this has become a label firmly attached to him.

Even though his three-point accuracy in the preseason was already quite good.

Forcing Ryan to pass the ball to Lowry outside the three-point line seems to be a successful defense for the Thunder.

“Kyle Lowry, the eldest brother among the garbage brothers, takes decisive action when he is open.

A solid hit!

The Nuggets hit two consecutive three-pointers in the opening game, and Ryan used two consecutive exquisite assists to break through the Thunder’s seemingly impenetrable defense!

Ryan has evolved again, and now he can fully unleash the firepower of his teammates! ”

After two consecutive three-pointers, Mike Breen suddenly understood.

The Nuggets’ starting lineup doesn’t seem to be strong at protecting the rim, and their athleticism and height aren’t enough.

But there’s one thing. Everyone can shoot three-pointers!

Everyone has the ability to finish the offense from beyond the three-point line!

Lowry, who was inaccurate from three points before, now has it with just a raise of his hand.

Wesley Matthews was known for his three-point accuracy with the Jazz last season.

Millsap has always had a certain ability to shoot from long range, and Love is a model of a shooting power forward.

Unlike the previous Nuggets who were extremely short of shooting resources, Mike Malone’s Nuggets have quite a lot of shooting resources!

Even the most abundant in the entire league!

As long as Ryan can attract the defense and get the ball to open teammates.

Then the opponent’s defense has failed more than half!

This is a classic one-star, four-shooter system!

No wonder Logo made these signings, it turns out they are all preparing for this system!

Of course, Mike Breen knows that the most terrifying part of this system is not the three-pointer.

But it lies in the space that is stretched to the extreme!

When the space is completely stretched, the star can do whatever he wants to ravage the opponent’s defense!

Previously, this system was mostly used on inside players.

For example, Olajuwon’s Rockets were all-stars back then.

Another example is that the Magic in recent years have also relied on one star to gain a foothold in the Eastern Conference.

Because the attack range of inside players is closer to the basket, and the efficiency of singles after opening up the space is often higher than that of outside players, so the inside players are always used as the main attack point.

And Ryan is one of the few one-star cores whose main attack point is from outside!

Mike Breen is extremely excited at this time, wanting to see what Ryan’s one-star and four-shooter system can do!

Ryan pointed at Lowry, whose hard work was finally rewarded. The Thunder were depressed about why Ryan could always pass the ball to the outside in extremely difficult situations, and why the outside could always seize opportunities.

At this time, this young army did not know that the moment they climbed onto the Rocky Mountains, they had completely entered the death zone!

What will greet them next will be the most terrifying and intensive firepower in NBA history!

The meat grinder of the Rockies begins!
