He just played basketball and became the chosen one. - Chapter 224
c223 : Not 21 games, not 22 games, not 23 games old
Chapter 223: Not 21 games, not 22 games, not 23 games. I have to say so!
The 12-game winning streak that made the Miami media and fans extremely confident seemed to be no difficulty at all for the Nuggets.
Fans all joke that Miami is Gotham in reality, a city of clowns!
No, there is only one clown in Gotham, but there are clowns everywhere in Miami!
The Miami media and fans had just shown off their 12-game winning streak and thought they were great, but the Nuggets slapped them in the face and told them:
“So you have the nerve to show off your little winning streak?”
It’s like you confidently showing off in the dormitory how strong your ability is and how many people you have challenged. It turns out that your roommates are all into gang fights, and they all have winning parties.
This feels a bit like playing a big trick in front of Guan Gong and humiliating oneself.
Heat fans regard 12 consecutive victories as a great honor, but for the Nuggets, it is just something that comes easily.
And judging from the attitude of the Nuggets players, the 12-game winning streak is just the beginning!
Geniuses know when their winning streak will stop.
There are different opinions on how many games the Nuggets can win in a row.
Some people think that the Nuggets can break their own record of 21 consecutive wins, the second longest in history.
In this history, there is no 22-game winning streak for the Rockets, and the 27-game winning streak for the Heat has not yet been born.
Therefore, the Nuggets’ previous 21-game winning streak was already the second-longest winning streak in history!
If Ryan breaks his winning streak again, it will undoubtedly be a big plus for his career!
But some people think that the Nuggets may not even be able to win 20 consecutive games.
After all, basketball games are so random.
The previous Nuggets were able to win 21 consecutive games because the Nuggets were a defensive team at that time.
Although both are called the Nuggets, if you compare the two teams, you will probably just sigh: “That’s not you in this photo!”
After all, the Nuggets are now a completely offensive team, which is very different from before.
Defensive teams generally have better stability, at least they won’t lose the game due to occasional poor touch.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the previous Nuggets team could win 21 consecutive games.
Although offensive teams tend to have better results in the end, because their stability is not that good, their winning streak does not last too long.
If you look at the NBA winning streak rankings, you will find that most of the top teams are defensive teams.
Offensive teams such as the Suns and Mavericks are not on the list in terms of winning streaks.
Therefore, Miami fans feel that the current offensive Nuggets may have a dazzling regular season record, but the winning streak will not last too long.
In short, it is absolutely impossible to tie the second record in history of 21 consecutive wins!
Although the Nuggets’ opponents for the next 8 consecutive games are lottery teams, the lottery teams will not lose every time!
However, the Nuggets’ games against these eight lottery teams during the following period simply explained why they can only be a lottery team.
Against the Wizards on January 23, this game attracted much attention from Chinese fans.
Because this is a Chinese derby game.
Since Dayao announced his retirement and Sun Yue failed to keep his position in the NBA, Ryan and Ah Lian are the only two Chinese players playing in the NBA.
However, although it is obviously a Chinese derby, everyone knows that the showdown between Ryan and the United Arab Emirates will not be the highlight.
The Arab League has averaged less than 20 minutes per game with the Wizards this season and will not have much impact on the game.
Today, the most active person on the Wizards is undoubtedly Nick Young.
Nick Young’s scoring average this season is more than double that of last season. He can score 17.4 points and is the team’s scoring leader.
And his style of shooting but never passing has also become a hotly discussed topic.
This season, with the ball in Nick Young’s hands most of the time, he actually averaged only 1.2 assists per game.
Even Kobe Bryant will never be able to reach this number in his lifetime.
He is worthy of being the only man in NBA history who has allowed Kobe to be inferior in terms of “independence”.
In the Wizards, even No. 1 pick Wall can’t even imagine receiving a pass from Nick Young.
And in this game, don’t tell me, the Wizards are in really good shape.
In addition to Nick Young using various incredible postures to deflect Matthews, Andre Blatche, a 211-centimeter big guy, also performed well, scoring 23 points in the paint with various turn-over jump shots.
Looking back at the Nuggets, Ryan rarely felt bad today. He only made 8 of 20 shots and only scored 23 points.
Therefore, until the last moment of the game, both sides played very anxiously.
In the final 33 seconds of the game, the Wizards were 1 point behind and had the ball.
In this round, Ryan personally defended Nick Young for safety reasons.
The effect is obvious.
Nick Young, who was killing the ball indiscriminately during the regular time, now has no chance to connect the ball.
Seeing this, Wall passed the ball to Jordan Crawford who ran out of the space.
Jordan Crawford, a first-year rookie, averaged 16.3 shots per game this season and scored 16.3 points.
Achieved a 100% hit rate!
Although the efficiency was lower than 100 million points, Crawford’s reverse run was very sudden this time, so he completely got rid of Matthews.
Once he catches the basketball, it’s a wide open opportunity.
Therefore, Crawford is still very confident about performing the first lore of his career.
As a result, when Crawford was about to receive the basketball, a black shadow suddenly jumped out and crossed the passing route.
Jordan Crawford secretly screamed that something was wrong. His first reaction was that he thought he had been intercepted!
Is Ryan’s defense so terrifying? He was clearly chasing Nick Young just now!
After taking a closer look later, Crawford realized that he had indeed been intercepted, but
It was not Ryan who stole him, but his teammates!
Nick Young, this amazing man, rushed out and intercepted Wall’s pass to Crawford, forcing himself to take the shot!
If Kobe doesn’t have the right to take a shot, he can at most complain a few words after the game. If James doesn’t have the right to take a shot, at most he can just put his hands on his hips.
Nick Young was lucky, he chose to steal the ball directly from his teammates!
Looking at history, this operation is quite explosive. Only Bynum, the Lakers’ little shark with the same impressive golf quotient, has done the same thing!
Bynum once took the initiative to steal his own point guard because he didn’t pass the ball to him for a three-pointer.
And these two Wolong Fengxiao who stole their teammates have both worked with Kobe.
It can only be said that Kobe’s teammates are really “historic” in some aspects.
Nick Young didn’t feel guilty after stealing his teammate’s pass.
Guilt? Guilty ass! When you go out, your identity is given by yourself!
Who says the boss of this team must be No. 1 pick Wall? I say I am the boss, I am the boss!
Since I’m the boss of the team, there’s nothing wrong with me shooting a buzzer-beater, right?
After stealing Wall’s pass to Crawford, Nick Young directly shot a three-pointer.
If this goal can be scored, then Nick Young may not be criticized for stealing his teammates.
Even a little cool
But the key is
Nick Young’s shot was pushed directly into the palm of Ryan’s hand!
That’s right, Yang Shaoxia’s shot after stealing his teammate was directly slapped by Ryan and flew across the court!
Jordan Crawford was dumbfounded. No, I obviously ran out of space, but you didn’t get rid of your defender at all.
So what are you trying to do by stealing from me? ?
Director Zhang laughed at this: “It seems that Nick Yang is a serious hot pot lover. He can’t wait and has to have this bite now!”
Yu Jia also shook his head, Ah Lian and his teammates are all top-notch players!
Fortunately, the Arab League is there. If it weren’t for the Arab League, where would the Chinese fans go to watch the famous scenes of these weird players!
After the basketball was slapped away, Lowry immediately rushed out to pick it up and then counterattacked successfully, opening the point difference to 3 points.
Wizards coach Phillip Sanders, once Garnett’s mentor, laughed angrily.
This is why the Wizards are a lottery team.
Any chance of winning that he got was thrown away by Nick Young himself!
After Nick Young was blocked, he scratched his head at his teammates in embarrassment:
“I was thinking about the ball that was passed to me just now, hahahahaha.”
The corner of Wall’s mouth twitched, you are so mad!
A rare opportunity to defeat the league’s No. 1 team was thrown away by you!
Miami fans were also convinced. They originally thought that the Wizards were in great shape today and could break the Nuggets’ 12-game winning streak.
Who knew this would happen in the end.
How many teams in the league have undercover agents installed by Ryan?
True Denver Miners, you don’t even need to be in Denver!
Nick Young’s last attack was too fake!
Don’t talk about Miami fans, even Ryan himself was quite speechless.
How did you come up with the idea of stealing a pass from a teammate and then shooting the ball?
In the end, with Wall’s gambling three-pointer, the Nuggets nearly defeated the Wizards in the Washington Shield and won 13 consecutive games.
This is also the longest winning streak in the league so far this season.
The Heat have completely lost to the Nuggets in terms of winning streak!
After the game, when reporters interviewed Ryan, Ryan scratched his head:
“I can’t understand Nick Young’s choice at the last moment, but I was shocked!”
This is the Washington Shield Wizards, this is the lottery team.
No matter how you talk about lottery teams, they do have certain strength when they explode. After all, everyone is also an NBA player.
But there must be a reason why they are not ranked higher.
As far as tactical literacy is concerned, the Wizards’ tactics are that winning is purely a matter of luck.
Although they lost in such a very low-IQ way, the Wizards are not desperate.
Even a little happy.
For them, next summer’s Kelly Irving piece will be a plus.
The real despair is the Heat.
Damn it. Against opponents like the Wizards, the Nuggets will have to fight seven more!
No. Nick Young is such a weirdo, you can’t find another one even on a lottery team.
Other lottery teams can definitely cause trouble for the Nuggets!
Facing the Cavaliers on January 25, Miami fans originally had high expectations for the Cavaliers.
Although the Cavaliers have won 8 games so far this season, they have just experienced a shocking 15-game losing streak.
But at the beginning of the season, this Cavaliers defeated the Celtics.
So, what if the Cavaliers win?
At this time, the Nuggets have surpassed the Heat in winning streak.
But if the winning streak can be stopped in time at 13, then the Heat won’t be particularly embarrassed!
As a result, the Cavaliers showed their unique skills today.
Throughout the game, none of the Cavaliers’ starting five could score in double figures!
Mo Williams made 1 of 9 and Jamison made 1 of 8.
As a center, JJ Hixon was actually able to hit 3 of 10 goals.
And you know, the Nuggets’ rim protection has always been a shortcoming.
But Hickson missed two empty baskets today!
Watching him play, Ryan recalled the basketball legend Grandma Wang who will always be in the hearts of Chinese fans!
Under the fatal performance of the starting players, although Alonzo Key and Sessions scored 12 points and 10 points respectively, they were the only two players on the team to score in double figures.
In the end, the Cavaliers were defeated by the Nuggets 57-112, setting a record for the largest point difference this season!
There were 57 points in the game. Those who didn’t know better thought this was an NCAA game!
Heat fans are convinced, you deserve to be a lottery team!
The Wizards only have one weirdo in Nick Young, but the Cavaliers have a weirdo on the whole team!
Each one of them plays as if they have a deep hatred for the basket, and they can hit the basket with all their strength!
But Ajan is actually a little complacent. With the Cavaliers losing like this, everyone should know my difficulties, right?
You should know why I can’t work in Cleveland, right?
How should I treat this bad team that constantly loses to others by more than 50 points?
But at the press conference after the game, Mike Malone said:
“Known, the Cavaliers lost to us by 55 points without LeBron.
It is also known that in the 2007 Finals, the Cavaliers lost by 58 points in G1 with LeBron James.
So it can be proven that the Cavaliers have become stronger without LeBron? ”
The reporters were stunned for a moment. At first glance, what Mike Malone said sounded like nonsense, but after careful consideration, it actually made sense!
Passing on, James’ average plus-minus per game with the Cavaliers is -3!
The people of James sit at home, and the disgrace comes from heaven!
He never expected that even though he had already transferred to the Heat, the fact that the Cavaliers lost by 55 points would still affect him!
Mike Malone, why don’t you be the head coach? Go directly to Satan and report to be his subordinate.
You are simply a devil!
Just like that, inexplicably, nothing happened after the Cavaliers lost, and the whole Internet laughed at Ajan again.
The Nuggets also won their 14th consecutive victory in this happy atmosphere.
The next few lottery teams are like the beauties in the princess room, each with its own characteristics.
Everyone has unique skills!
Against the Kings, the Nuggets won handily by 24 points.
The Kings offense actually played well, scoring 104 points.
But the Nuggets scored 128 points.
Among them, the Kings’ defense in the sixth minute of the fourth quarter is very illustrative.
At that time, the Nuggets were preparing to serve a sideline ball. Cousins, the future pillar of the Kings, put his hands on his knees in the mid-range position and took the opportunity to breathe.
Then, Love, who was being guarded by him, suddenly reversed and ran towards the basket. At the same time, Millsap also saw the opportunity and passed an alley-oop directly to Love.
At this time, Cousins is still standing there! After he saw the Love he was guarding running in, he didn’t react at all. He just watched with his hands on his hips as Love scored the alley-oop!
Otherwise, how about saying that the Kings have a good vision? Cousins is a kid who looks like an emperor at first glance, with his arms akimbo and arms crossed very calmly!
Because of this goal, among the top five goals tonight, the NBA specially added a 0th goal to put Cousins on the defense.
This shocking performance should make the whole world cheer!
With this kind of absent-minded defense, the Nuggets only scored 128 points, which even Mike Malone felt was low!
Then against the Clippers, the lottery team finally had a defensive player. They showed off their defensive skills and limited Ryan to only 13 points – the lowest of the season.
Is it how hard the Clippers defend? Not really.
The reason why Ryan only scored 13 points was because the Clippers won without Ryan even playing in the second half!
But, just tell me, Ryan’s scoring today was limited!
Although Ryan only played half of this game, he still provided many wonderful shots.
Among them, Ryan blocked Griffin’s dunk twice, which made everyone talk about it.
Although Griffin was the No. 1 pick in 2009, he only started his rookie year this season due to injuries.
Shafen also surprised everyone when he debuted, because he has averaged 20+10 points per game so far.
In the history of the NBA, most of the players who can score 20+10 statistics in their rookie seasons are superstar-level insiders.
The same goes for the Admiral, Duncan, O’Neill and others.
Moreover, Griffin has also gained great popularity because of his violent playing style that is comparable to Rain Man.
At this time, people almost all believe that Shafen will occupy a place in the NBA in the future.
Now, who would have thought that the real change in the 2009 class was not the domineering Griffin in Los Angeles, but the skinny guard in Oakland who struggled to dunk.
Griffin’s popularity and attention are extremely high, so the head-on collision between him and Ryan is also one of the highlights of the game.
Clippers fans are even looking forward to Griffin dunking on Ryan every once in a while!
As a result, today, Griffin not only failed to dunk Ryan.
The dunker was blocked by Ryan for two dunks in the first half!
One risk chase, one frontal block!
Although Griffin can jump very well, Ryan is not far behind in this regard.
In this case, Ryan’s wingspan is much longer than Griffin.
So it’s not surprising that Griffin can be blocked.
Facts have proved that no matter how domineering or violent a rookie is, he is still a stinky younger brother in front of the chosen one, Ryan!
The Clippers this season have no other bright spots except Griffin who can fly and dunk well.
As a result, the Clippers successfully “prevented” Ryan, allowing him to clock out with only 13 points.
Each of these lottery teams showed their talents and demonstrated their unique skills to the fullest.
In the end, the Nuggets also won eight consecutive victories in this series of lottery trips!
Easily and officially increased the winning streak to 20 games!
The Heat are desperate, what about the promised upset?
All of you lottery teams are really not easy!
More stable than a championship team!
Now, the Nuggets are only one game away from tying their 21-game winning streak set in the 2007-08 season!
In this history, this record is still the longest winning streak except the 33-game winning streak of the 71-72 Lakers!
And if a player can touch the second longest winning streak in history twice as a core player in his career, think about how valuable this is!
It is simply higher than the amount of semen in the mouth of an art film actress!
And if the Nuggets win 21 consecutive games, it will really smash the faces of the Heat’s Big Three.
The three superstars together have a longest winning streak of 12, and Ryan has a 21-game winning streak whenever he makes a shot.
The contrast is simply too strong.
However, the Heat finally see a glimmer of hope.
Because after playing against lottery teams for eight consecutive games, the Nuggets will finally face a strong opponent!
That is the man that Ajan has never defeated alone, that is the man who made 23VS24 come to nothing – Dwight Howard!
In this history, although the Magic have never made it to the Finals.
But in the 2008-09 season, because the Celtics did not encounter any injury problems, they finally won the first place in the Eastern Conference. So in the playoffs, the Magic and Cavaliers still met.
The result was no different from the original history. The Magic eliminated the Cavaliers with a total score of 4 to 2, and Howard became famous.
When people think that the Cavaliers’ opponents are the Celtics and Lakers.
James has never even played magic.
He always falls in unexpected places.
Although the Magic have never made it to the Finals, they have only lost to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals in the past two years.
Therefore, the strength is still very recognized.
So far this season, the Magic’s record is not bad.
In the Eastern Conference, they still have the level to compete for the top three.
Although the two sides had already met once before, the Nuggets won.
But in that game, the winner was determined by Ryan’s accurate kill at the last moment.
So in everyone’s opinion, the strength of both sides is still relatively close.
Miami fans have new hope. Those lottery-waste teams can’t stop the Nuggets. The Magic should be able to stop the Nuggets, right?
After all, it was the team that humiliated Ajan in the playoffs and had an inseparable battle with the Celtics.
The Miami media and Heat fans really don’t want to see Ryan continue his winning streak.
Originally, the Big Three could win 12 games in a row, which felt very powerful.
But if Ryan and a group of less famous teammates tie the 21-game winning streak, it will look very ridiculous for the Big Three!
Please, Beast Brother!
Defeat Ryan like you defeated Arjan!
The Magic are also on a winning streak recently. Although it is not as dazzling as the Nuggets’ 20-game winning streak, their 9-game winning streak also proves the Magic’s recent state.
Jason Richardson, Turkoglu and Jameer Nelson all found their sights during the break in the season and are getting better and better.
And once their three-pointers are opened, Howard is still the monster that can wreak havoc in the penalty area.
Although Howard’s skills are not very good, with Yao Ming retiring and O’Neal getting older, there are not many insiders in the entire league who can compete with him one-on-one!
With 20 points of skill and 80 points of body, he can do whatever he wants in the penalty area!
Magic is invincible during this time.
Moreover, many media also believe that the Magic can continue their winning streak with the Nuggets!
It’s not that the Nuggets are not strong enough after 20 consecutive wins, it’s mainly because the Magic’s style of play is too overwhelming for the Nuggets!
What is the Nuggets’ biggest weakness? The whole world knows that it is the lack of frame protection ability.
The Nuggets’ frame protection relies on Ryan, the third position, to help defend.
Although Millsap’s ability to sweep up and help defense is very strong, he is also not an excellent frame protector.
But the Magic are the team that is least afraid of helping to defend. As long as the opponent dares to help defend Howard, the shooters on the outside will get a lot of opportunities.
So in the next game, if the Nuggets don’t help defend, it will be very easy for Howard whether he plays Love or Millsap.
If the Nuggets choose to help defend, the Magic’s hot-touch perimeter group will severely punish the defense.
The last time the two sides met, the Nuggets had a hard time defending against the Magic.
In the end, it was Ryan’s personal ability that solved the problem.
In addition, the Nuggets have played eight lottery teams in a row, and they may not be able to adapt to a strong championship team like the Magic when they suddenly meet.
Therefore, most media feel that the Nuggets’ winning streak this year will almost come to an end at 20 games.
It is too fantasy to tie the second longest historical record twice.
But Ryan had a completely different idea. The day before the game against the Magic, Ryan said bluntly in an interview after training:
“I can understand the mood of the Miami media. After all, for them, 12 consecutive wins can be a big boast, and 20 consecutive wins is already science fiction for them.
Human beings can never imagine what they cannot do.
But for us, 20 consecutive wins is not an exaggerated number!
I don’t think our winning streak is about to end, we will continue to win!
Not 21 games, not 22 games, not 23 games.
I don’t know how many games we can win in a row eventually, but it certainly won’t stop here! ”
To Miami fans, Ryan’s declaration sounded like an arrogant bastard talking unrealistically in his sleep.
The 21-game winning streak is already the second-longest winning streak in the league.
The Nuggets are now on a 20-game winning streak, so there’s nothing wrong with it ending there.
But Ryan actually said he would continue to win!
Moreover, he also deliberately spoofed James’ famous sayings!
Do you think you are very humorous? ?
Under Ryan’s ridicule, the Orlando media was not anxious yet, but the Miami media was anxious first!
The editor-in-chief of Miami Sports News angrily criticized Ryan during a radio show:
“It’s impossible to win 21 consecutive games, it’s impossible!
Pay back 21 games, 22 games, 23 games. Brother, what are you doing? Let’s count within 100, buddy!
Brother, you don’t have to be silent. You’ve been beating that old lottery team every day during this period. You really treat luck as your ability, right?
If the Heat also faced 8 consecutive lottery teams after 12 consecutive games, then the Heat would also be able to win 20 consecutive games!
If you don’t have such luck, you will have to save these 20 consecutive victories for three seasons!
Don’t think that the 20-game winning streak you got by playing against a few lottery teams is so amazing. Shakespeare once said that playing against lottery teams is not scary, only those who deceive themselves are scary! ”
The radio host on the side was confused: “Did Shakespeare say this?”
The editor-in-chief of “Miami Sports News” waved his hand impatiently: “That’s what it means anyway!”
Understand that Shakespeare for Westerners is equivalent to Lu Xun for Chinese in some aspects.
Because any nonsense can be said by them!
Ryan listened to this radio program countless times on the Internet, and he laughed like crazy!
Although it is a radio show, no face is shown.
But Ryan could see from his voice that the editor-in-chief was blushing with anger.
Can you not be angry? If you spend 400,000 yuan to buy a car, it’s not as good as someone else’s 150,000 yuan to buy it. You’ll want to smash the car when you get home!
The Big Three that the Heat have spent so much energy on are not as good as Ryan’s single core. Can their media and fans not be anxious?
However, the editor-in-chief is not mindlessly expressing emotions. Just like the previous analysis, people think that the Magic’s play style is very strong against the Nuggets.
Either Howard blasts the basket, or he shoots three-pointers through his heart.
The Nuggets only have these two bottles of poison to choose from!
On the morning of the game, Miami fans got some great news.
A reporter photographed Howard going home directly after training yesterday. And he didn’t come out again until he went to training in the morning.
This means Howard wasn’t busy saving girls’ souls yesterday!
Today’s Howard will be a energetic Howard!
People can already imagine how Love will be abused by Howard today!
Of course, Mike Malone is likely to change his lineup to deal with Howard and let Nene or Birdman start.
But even Nene and Birdman couldn’t guard Warcraft one-on-one under the basket!
The Nuggets are completely finished!
Orlando, Amway Center.
Ryan found that many Magic fans in the stands raised their signs.
It said the number “21” with a slash through it.
It indicates that the Nuggets’ winning streak will be ended here.
On-site commentator Kevin Harlan also believed:
“This is the Magic’s best chance to beat the Nuggets!
Because after winning 20 games in a row, the Nuggets are actually under a lot of psychological pressure.
They will become very afraid of losing, because once they lose, all their previous efforts will be wasted.
No one wants their winning streak to be interrupted. This is normal psychology.
The Magic are different. They have won 9 consecutive games and are still relaxed.
So today, the more relaxed magic may perform better. ”
After hearing this, the fans felt that the Nuggets were in trouble today.
But in fact, Ryan couldn’t be more relaxed now!
This season’s Orlando Magic, Ryan didn’t regard them as opponents at all!
The fans at the scene may not believe it, but the Magic were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs this season!
And the Atlanta Hawks who eliminated them were the superstar-less Atlanta Hawks!
So, would Ryan be nervous about a team that missed the first round? What a joke!
Of course, if the Magic hadn’t met the Hawks in the first round, they might not have been eliminated so early.
Because the Hawks were able to win the Magic, a big reason was because they found the right tactics.
But Mike Malone also figured out this tactic!
So today, the magic must be exposed!
The game was about to start, and Howard greeted every Nuggets starter enthusiastically, as if they were guests for dinner.
Ryan was also very relaxed and was still chatting and laughing with Artest on the bench.
This makes the fans a little confused.
Usually before such a battle, doesn’t Ryan always have a fierce and serious expression?
Why are you so smiling today?
Miami fans are ecstatic and lazy. Ryan must be lazy!
That is, although winning is great.
But no matter how exciting the thing is, no matter how beautiful the person is, if you are asked to do it 20 times in a row, you will feel tired and boring.
Ryan must have become lazy about the game, so he couldn’t get interested at all.
The right time, the right place, the right people, and all the magic!
Today, the magic will definitely win!
After the game started, Howard, who is extremely athletic, easily won the ball from Love’s head.
Turkoglu held the ball through halftime. This organization forward who is extremely suitable for Howard only returned to the Magic some time ago.
His return is actually the key to the Magic’s 9-game winning streak.
This guy was let go by the Magic after the peak season of his career in the 08-09 season!
After going around for more than a season, the Magic found that they couldn’t do without him, so they traded him back.
It was obvious that the contract could be renewed directly, but not.
Just let it out and then spend a lot of money to exchange it back, which is just a brain thrombosis.
Understand, the Magic management, they could even get rid of the Sharks, so getting rid of Turkoglu is nothing.
Turkoglu observed the movements of his teammates, but was surprised to find that the Nuggets had no intention of helping to defend Howard!
After Howard leaned on Love in the low post, the Nuggets still implemented man-to-man defense.
Let Love deal with Howard alone!
Turkoglu was confused. Did Mike Malone drink fake wine?
What makes him think that Love, who is weak defensively, can defend Howard alone?
After confirming again that this was not a defensive trap by the Nuggets, Turkoglu dropped the ball into the penalty area.
Howard wasn’t polite either. After catching the ball, he turned around and faced the frame.
But at this time, Warcraft was not in a hurry to attack the frame, but first observed the Nuggets’ defense.
Warcraft is just technically rough, but its basketball IQ is not low.
He was afraid that the Nuggets wanted to wait for him to catch the ball before flanking him.
As a result, after he caught the ball and faced the frame, the Nuggets still didn’t double-team!
This made Howard not used to it, so he really allowed me to play Love one-on-one?
So… I hit?
Nuggets fans are full of expectations, thinking that Mike Malone has prepared some clever tricks to deal with Howard, so there is no need to help defend at all?
Howard can’t control that much. He doesn’t know what tricks Love and the Nuggets have. In short, rush first and then talk!
So Howard relied on his strong body and exaggerated athletic ability to push away Love and then rush to the basket along the baseline. Finally, it was an easy 180° dunk in the air, easily destroying the basket!
Seeing this scene, the Nuggets fans couldn’t believe their eyes.
Isn’t this what defense is all about?
Just gone?
There is a clever trick as promised! ?
Nuggets fans now have the feeling of watching an art movie, only to see key moments but no key clips at all!
Everyone was looking forward to something special about today’s defense, but there was nothing!
What’s going on with the team’s defense today?
Why does it feel like there is no arrangement at all for Howard?
After the Nuggets attacked, Ryan made a mid-range jumper.
In this second round of defense, the Nuggets still used Love to defend Warcraft alone!
Warcraft doesn’t know why the Nuggets did this, but this is indeed a good opportunity to score high points, so you can’t miss it!
This time he backed up to the basket, then turned around and went straight up, leaning on Love and still scoring in the confrontation!
Miami fans are also excited. The Nuggets are really helpless with Howard today!
Mike Malone neither changed his formation nor had a special defensive strategy. Yes, he is not God. It seems that there is nothing he can do against Howard today!
Watching Howard easily wreak havoc in the penalty area for two consecutive rounds, everyone seemed to see that the Nuggets were about to die.
That’s right, Mike Malone did not have any special arrangements for Howard today.
He simply let Love defend Howard one-on-one.
but!
This is exactly the best way to deal with magic!
In the original history, the Hawks, who had only 44 wins in the regular season and failed to make the playoffs in the Western Conference, were able to defeat the Magic in the first round or less?
You know, the Hawks had just been swept by the Magic the year before.
The reason is that the Eagle has found the right strategy!
The Hawks’ strategy that year was different from before. Their defensive strategy was to give Warcraft a one-on-one game. You could blast me under the basket until there was nothing left. Even if you smashed the backboard, I wouldn’t double-team you easily.
The Eagles chose to stick to man-to-man marking and did not give the Magic a chance to fire from the outside!
The Hawks know very well that as a center who is not very skilled, Howard’s scoring explosiveness is limited.
Even if he goes crazy at the basket, he can’t win one on five.
The real trouble is that Howard and the outside group broke out at the same time. If the Magic’s inside and outside lines blossom, it will be really impossible to guard against it.
But if we hold on to the outside and only let Howard score, there will be hope of winning!
Therefore, when playing against the Hawks in the playoffs this year, Warcraft’s personal statistics were extremely luxurious, even though he scored a career-high 46 points in a single game.
But in the end, it was impossible to avoid the fate of being eliminated in the first round, and this round of elimination also made Howard make the decision to leave.
Today, Mike Malone uses the same strategy.
In the previous battle between the Nuggets and Magic, the reason was that the opponent scored too many three-pointers from the outside, making it necessary to rely on Ryan’s accurate kill to win.
Today, Mike Malone let Howard play and let Howard attack as he pleased.
He wanted to see what kind of trouble just one monster could cause!
However, unlike the Eagles, the Eagles’ use of this strategy to deal with the Magic actually involved gambling.
Because no matter how powerful Howard’s scoring power is, he still has the ability to score 30 or 40 points in a single game.
The Eagles have no guarantee that they can outscore their opponents with higher scores when Warcraft scores wantonly.
This is also true. If Jamal Crawford hadn’t exploded in that series, averaging 20 points per game, and hit a three-pointer with his face blocked in one game, then the Hawks’ strategy would probably be true. Can’t work.
Although the Eagles found the right strategy, they struggled to win.
But Mike Malone, he is 100% confident in this!
No matter how much trouble you make, Howard, you can’t possibly score with Lenby!
As long as the Magic’s outside line is blocked and the Magic is prevented from raining three-pointers, Howard’s 2-point and 2-point attack alone cannot beat Ryan.
Ryan’s scoring ability is not in the same dimension as Howard at all!
On the field, Warcraft was grinning.
Orlando fans were very excited when they saw Howard easily leading the team.
Miamians are even happier.
Not 21 games, not 22 games, not 23 games?
Ryan, you want to eat shit!
This group of people didn’t realize at all that this was just the last glimmer of hope before magic’s despair.
Ryan moved his body. He missed the pull-up jumper just now. He was just testing his hand.
Next, it’s time to get serious!
The score of the little monster is nothing to be afraid of.
With his ability, even if he smashed the basket, how many points could he score?
Let me show you tonight what truly desperate firepower looks like.
However, Howard is obviously high.
He thought that the Nuggets really couldn’t do anything about themselves.
So, he yelled at Ryan with a smile:
“Hey, Lion King! I’m in great shape tonight! Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t give you 21 consecutive wins!”
Don’t be surprised. During this period, Howard was smiling even when he was talking trash.
Ryan was not angry, but laughed equally brightly:
“It doesn’t matter Dwight, just play well and you can score as many points as you want.
But remember, Dwight, who has won 21 consecutive games, I only have to say this kind of thing! ”
The Lion King is gearing up, Warcraft?
The lion of the Rocky Mountains is the most terrifying monster!
