He just played basketball and became the chosen one...

Chapter 136: Standing at the crossroads of fate with the Spurs again?Denver voted!
As the saying goes, as long as you are brave, you can make a female ghost take maternity leave.

As long as you are brave, you can make everyone call you dad.

Ryan fully demonstrated what it means to be bold and bold in this wave, and he became a father in front of Jordan.

While British players are still looking to American players as godfathers, Chinese players already want to become the masters!
Not everyone dares to yell in front of Jordan.

But Ryan told Jordan with practical actions: "In Denver, I am the god of basketball!"

Jordan was indeed convinced. Ben Gordon was so explosive in the fourth quarter, but Ryan was still able to suppress him!

And without realizing it, he scored 43 points, which is simply outrageous.

This season, Ryan has not scored 40+ many times.

Especially with Kobe, who is constantly scoring 40+ or ​​even 50+, Ryan's occasional 40+ is simply inconspicuous.

But Ryan is as good as he is, he can often score 40+ points in key games to defend his home court!

Facing the menacing Mavericks before, Ryan took away the game with 58 points.

Today, facing Gordon who exploded in the fourth quarter, Ryan scored 23 points in the final quarter and 43 points in the game.

Moreover, even in the fourth quarter when Gordon exploded, Ryan never let the Bulls lead by even 1 point!
If you really say press it to death, press it to death!

Showing ultimate dominance!

Jordan admitted that Ryan is really tough.Whenever someone wants to steal the home victory from him, he will immediately show a tough performance to destroy the opponent's bad intentions.

Danzi also admitted that Ryan was very strong, but he was really angry!

Damn, where’s my jersey?
I want to challenge Ryan!
But after thinking about it, let it go. Jordan didn't want to experience the pain of having his ribs broken again.

It doesn’t matter if your chin is blown off!

Young people today are so irritable!

Facing the arrogant Ryan, Jordan didn't say anything. He just pretended to be calm and spread his hands, trying to appear relaxed.

But the whole world knows that Jordan must be furious now!

Because Jordan's gritted teeth expression cannot be concealed by pretending to be calm!
From expressionless, to frowning, to gritted teeth.

As Ryan exerted more force, the other party's expression also changed obviously.This shows that Ryan has really fucked him up!

As a player, Bird was probably the only one who could make Jordan suffer when it came to pretentiousness.

A simple "shut up mickey" immediately became an eternal classic.

And now, Ryan has become the only active player who can make Jordan so angry!

The only active player who could slap Jordan in the face in front of him and dare to act crazy in front of him!
All we can say is that Ryan is worthy of being Bird’s direct disciple!
When it comes to orgasms, Bird and Lane never disappoint!
Ryan's goal directly killed the game and made Jordan angry to death.

At the same time, it also broke the unrealistic illusions of Chicago fans.

Ben Gordon may be able to surpass Nash, Reid, Arenas and others.

But facing the youngest Grand Slam player in history, Gordon is simply one level behind!
Even if it explodes, he can't defeat it!

In the last few dozen seconds, the Bulls had completely given up on the game.

The Nuggets were also very martial and did not continue to attack. Ryan did not have the courage to fight in the garbage time.

So in the end, the 15-point difference was maintained until the end of the game.

107 to 92, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Bulls strongly and won their 16th consecutive victory at home!
Another team tried to climb the Rocky Mountains, but fell halfway again!
Jordan sighed, if I had known it, I might as well have gone to watch the Bobcats game!
At least the Bobcats lose simply and won't let you have unrealistic illusions and then have them shattered!
After the game, Ben Gordon reluctantly slammed the ball to the floor.

If he loses the game today because he has a bad touch and fails to pump, then that's fine.

But the key point is that he has already drawn it like this but still can't win!
There is a feeling that my own extraordinary performance is just a slight exertion of Ryan!

This huge frustration made Gordon want to cry very much.

At this time, Jordan came up and touched Gordon's head: "You have done a great job."

A British player was beaten up by a Chinese player and then asked his American dad for comfort.

Okay, that's absolutely correct.

What else could Jordan say?He shouldn't have such high expectations for Gordon.

Gordon is a good player, but Ryan is the kind of player who can dominate an era!

But it doesn't matter. Ryan defeated the Bulls and won 16 consecutive home games. It does not mean that the Nuggets will be undefeated at home this season.

Next, there are still 25 home games waiting for them!
Jordan still doesn’t believe that he really wants to build a sculpture for Ryan!

On the other side, Lane was surrounded by cameras and was being interviewed by reporters on the scene.

"Ryan, what did you say to Jordan when you yelled at him at the last moment?"

“I just told him whose home field this is.

Michael is the strongest player in history in my opinion, and I respect him very much.

But at the Pepsi Center, the basketball gods couldn’t help me! "

Ryan's wave of praise first and then disdain seems to be praising Jordan, but in fact he is praising himself.

He told the world that besides the draft, the one who can make the God of Basketball overturn is me!

Soon reporters asked again: "After this game, the Nuggets have won 16 consecutive games at home. Do you think the team can really create the miracle of being undefeated at home in a single regular season?"

This time, Ryan didn’t smile playfully:

"I know that no team has ever done this in NBA history. Countless great teams have never touched this record.

I also know that the championship is the most important thing.

But we will do our best to bring victory to our fans at every home court!
Sometimes, records are meant to be broken! "

Ryan's answer was very flattering. He didn't throw a boomerang, but he didn't give the impression of weakness.

But in fact, Ryan still really wants to have a winning season at home!
Not to mention that this is a historic achievement, and if we can get 41 home wins in a single season, we can get one more bonus mission!

According to the previous mission description, a reward will be given for every 10 home wins.

In other words, whether it is 30 home wins, 36 home wins or 39 home wins, you can only get 3 rewards in the end.

Ryan's previous psychological expectation was to get 3 rewards.

But if you can really win 40 home games in a single season, you can get one more reward!
And if you already have 40 wins, why not add one plus 41 wins?

This thing is just like buying a car. Originally I only wanted to buy a mobility scooter worth tens of thousands of dollars, but usually I bought a more expensive one driven by the mentality of "why not spend more money to get XXX".

Ryan originally thought that the 36 home wins Barkley mentioned before was already very impressive, but now
Bite, bite, win 41!
历史上虽然没有单赛季主场全胜的球队，但赛季主场 40胜的球队却有两支。除了86凯尔特人外，15-16赛季的马刺，也打出过主场40胜1负。

To put it bluntly, 40 wins can be replicated.And Ryan only needs to win one more game on this basis!
So a complete victory at home is not impossible!
With Ryan's domineering performance in killing Ben Gordon in the final quarter, David Stern's replacement Christmas game came to an end.

Although the Bulls still lost a lot in the end, this game was indeed a hot topic.

So much so that the next day, people were still talking about the game that night.

Especially the photo of Ryan squirting in Jordan’s face.

It directly became the unified picture on the front pages of major newspapers!

When Jordan was reading the newspaper on the plane the next day, his blood pressure was higher than when he was jumping. He suddenly felt that he had come all the way to Denver to serve as Ryan's backdrop!
Ryan defeated the Bulls and Ben Gordon.So what is your title about?
"Lyan suppresses Jordan!"Challenge the God of Basketball! 》.

"A flying man can't fly over the Rocky Mountains!" 》.

"The most swollen face Michael Jordan has ever been slapped on!" 》.

Jordan was dumbfounded. He thought it was me wearing the jersey and playing on the court yesterday!

I'm just a fan, this game has nothing to do with me, why are they shouting at me!

There is no way, who makes Danzi have a large flow?

It's self-evident which one is more eye-catching: "Lyan beats Ben Gordon" or "Lyan beats Jordan".

In the evening, Flying Pig Barkley felt like he was celebrating the New Year!
At the beginning of the show, Buckley took off his suit jacket, revealing a shirt underneath.

The pattern printed on the shirt is the same pattern that Ryan yelled at Jordan yesterday, and Jordan looked confused!

Kenny Smith’s smile was crooked, so Sir Flying Pig had to do the whole job.

He may not be the GOAT in the basketball world, but he is definitely the GOAT in the comedy commentary world.

“I want to enlarge this photo and hang it in my bedroom!

Many years ago, people said Michael was handsome.

Kenny, do you think he is still handsome now?
This fact tells us that even if you are Michael, don’t provoke Ryan easily!
Now the Nuggets have won 16 home games, and they are only 36 games away from the 20 wins I mentioned!

By the way, let me remind you, what I said before was at least 36 wins!
At least!

Look forward to it, maybe the Nuggets can play better than I predicted!
I welcome Ryan to hit me in the face, hard!
One more thing, Ryan had better tell Jordan his size.

Because of Jordan's stingy peeing, I'm afraid he'll cut Ryan short!

Kenny, what kind of dirty look are you looking at?I'm talking about measurements for your actual height! "

Not just Barkley, but all sports TV programs tonight are talking about Ryan yelling at Jordan yesterday.

Two top superstars together, the traffic is so scary.

Moreover, others took over the scepter from Jordan.

But Ryan, he gives the impression that he wants to snatch the scepter from Jordan's hand!Just like Jordan snatched the scepter from the Magician's hand!
Everyone felt that the next ruler might really appear.

Now, even Jordan has overturned at the Pepsi Center, and no team dares to say that they can defeat the Nuggets at home.

Even all teams will be scared and anxious because they are about to play away games in Denver.

The Pepsi Center has become a true devil's home stadium, sweeping across the United States!

Finally, in mid-January, Ryan won his 1th home victory of the season against the Lakers!
In this game, Kobe was originally relatively favored.

Although Kobe changed to No. 24 this season, he was arguing with the Lakers management about a trade every day.

He even threatened at one point, "If Jerry West doesn't return to the Lakers and take full charge of the team, then I will 100% leave."

Kobe was so angry not only because the team management hired a superstar like Parker to start, but also because Kobe asked the team to bring in Kidd, but the Lakers refused because they couldn't bear to part with Bynum, who didn't look smart!
Kobe was even mad. With Bynum’s solid head, you wouldn’t really think of him as a little shark, would you?
You don’t really think you can do anything good by inviting Kareem Abdul-Jabbar back to teach him, do you?

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook is the same as Jordan's air walk. Whether it is good or not is determined at birth!

In short, Kobe was very unhappy with the Lakers this season and almost missed Douyin's greatest honor, the "One Man, One City Award."

But precisely because of his anger with the Lakers, Kobe performed a series of brilliant scoring performances this season.

In the 06-07 season in original history, Kobe had 10+ points 50 times in a single season, 60+ points twice, 40+ points in five consecutive games, and 50+ points in four consecutive games.
For comparison, the total number of 06+ games played by all other players in the 07-50 season was only 8 times.

In the seasons after 07, the number of 50+ games in the league in a single season was only 5, 10, 3, 2, 3, 3 and 6 times respectively.

In other words, the number of times Kobe Bryant scored 50+ points in a single season is more than the total number of times all players scored 10+ points in the 13-50 seasons!

The famous "Kobe Bryant only scored 43 points" news came from this season.

Kobe just wants to tell the world in a rage that the team's poor record is not because of me, but because of the management's brain.

Of course, I am also telling other teams: "I'm doing a good job, and I don't have any kids to take care of. Come quickly, don't be too slow!"

In this history, Kobe's scoring performance is not much different from that in the original history.

So fans were expecting Kobe to score 50 points in a single game to break the myth of the Pepsi Center.

After all, Kobe has always regarded Ryan as his opponent, so it makes sense for him to explode when he meets Ryan, right?

As a result, in this game, Kobe only scored 9 points on 2 of 8 shots.
Tribute to James!
A tribute to my youth on the 8th!

Kobe only took 9 shots in this game and was really annoyed by his teammates.

“滑雪男”拉德马诺维奇全场9中1，武贾西奇7中1，死神帕克10中2，就连他最信任的奥多姆也11中3
After leading half of the game, Kobe couldn't carry him anymore, so he only took 2 shots in the second half, letting his teammates work harder and letting the management see what kind of ragtag team the Lakers are playing now!
But Kobe's behavior cannot hide the fact that he was blocked on 9 of 2 shots.

You have to say you were so angry that you didn't want to take action, but the fans wouldn't say anything if they made 9 of 5 in the first half. 9 out of 5, at least proves that you are capable of scoring points, but don't want to.

Can hit 9 out of 2
No matter how many times you try, it won't work!
The fans are also convinced, maybe Kobe has a crush on Ryan! ?
When beating others, he often scores 20 or [-] points, and any score of more than [-] points is considered a hindrance.

You ended up beating Ryan with 8 points in a single game?
You want to say that you two have a pure friendship, but everyone really doesn’t believe it!
Before Ryan and after Ryan, the contrast between Kobe and Ryan was too great!

Kobe in front of others: "I'll kill you."

Kobe in front of Ryan: "Master, fuck me hard."

Nike is the worst. Its two major spokespersons, Kobe and James, were beaten up every time they met Ryan!

How about I just quit the basketball market?Stop messing with me!
After the game, Kobe attended the press conference wearing the Bulls' No. 23 jersey, which made the Lakers management very angry.

And when Kobe was complaining about the Lakers management's inaction in daily press conferences, Ryan used the second lottery opportunity earned from 20 home wins in the locker room toilet!
In this lottery, Ryan won Marion's characteristic reward "small fourth-position defensive expert".

The effect is +3 rebound prediction, +3 pass steals, and +3 block prediction.

After the addition, Ryan's three attributes reached 68, 66 and 69 respectively.

Although it cannot achieve immediate results, it still lays a solid foundation for adding up these attributes in the future.

However, Ryan really hopes to get some rewards that can increase his immediate combat power.

For example, the talent fragments that McGrady pulled out previously greatly improved Ryan's singles ability.

But it doesn't matter, after all, there is still a chance to win a lottery next time.

And if you work hard, you will still have two chances to win the lottery!
Before the playoffs, there is definitely room for improvement!
So far, the Nuggets have won almost half of their home games.

The goal of an incredible home victory is getting closer and closer.

Ryan's winning streak at home has caused a stir. In the East, the Little Emperor has now become the new master of the East.

Almost halfway through the schedule, the Cavaliers are still firmly ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

Moreover, the No. 2 Pistons are not ahead by one game, not by two games.

Stern was overjoyed and began to increase his efforts to promote the 23VS0 finals matchup.

But Reggie Miller, whose life was unsatisfactory, faced with overwhelming publicity, casually complained on the show:
"Come on, if the Cavaliers and Nuggets really play in the finals, then this year's finals will be too boring."

Reggie Miller just told the truth, because being first in the Eastern Conference is really nothing special.

The Cavaliers' record is even in the Western Conference. Whether they can make the top four depends on the Spurs and Warriors.

Mavericks and Nuggets?It's useless to look at their faces. There's no way the Cavaliers can catch up with the Mavericks and Nuggets.

In other words, the Cavaliers are a team ranked fourth and fifth in the Western Conference.

Anyone who has watched the Nuggets play this season knows that the Cavaliers can't win at all.

But Reggie Miller never expected that his personal blog would be scolded directly for his casual comment!
"Reggie doesn't know anything about the finals. He has only played in the finals once and lost."

"For someone who has only won two finals in his life, talking about the finals here makes me really want to laugh."

"You don't think James is as useless as you, do you?"

"Are the Nuggets strong? Last time they won, wasn't it because Ryan was lucky and scored 8 three-pointers in a single quarter? Otherwise, would they have won?"

What made Miller even more scolded was that just after he said this, the Nuggets lost to the Cavaliers on the road.
Ryan's three-pointer didn't explode in that game, and the others were in average shape and were beaten to death by the Cavaliers' defense.

After winning the game, James naturally showed off his power:
"I respect Reggie, he was one of the best shooting guards in the 90s.

I appreciate his loyalty to Indiana and in fact I decided to follow his example and stay in Cleveland.

But I don’t agree with what he said. Our goal this year is to win the championship!
Many people think that we will be unable to fight back against the Nuggets in the finals. In fact, this is not the case. Today we proved it!
Even our opponent in the finals may not be Ryan! "

James smiled brightly. In today's Eastern Conference, Anthony's Raptors are in decline, the Heat have fallen, and the pistons have aged to the point of bursting.

The only threat to the Cavaliers is the magic of McGrady + Howard.

But considering that Howard is still inexperienced and McGrady's health is uncertain, they will definitely not be able to make it far in the playoffs.

And what about the west?The competition is really fierce.This year in the Western Conference, the 60-win team is estimated to be a guaranteed minimum of three.

The probability of Ryan reaching the Finals for two consecutive years in the Western Conference is too low!
Taking a step back, even if Ryan and the Nuggets are really strong enough to advance to the Finals for the second consecutive year, they will definitely be exhausted, injured, and tired after coming out of the Western Conference.

In the NBA, almost no team reaches the Finals with a completely healthy team.Even if that player can play, it doesn't mean that he is healthy, just that he is slightly injured and cannot get out of the firing line.

When the time comes, the exhausted Nuggets will definitely be at their wits' end when they encounter the Cavaliers' meat grinder-like defense.

As long as the Cavaliers can enter the finals, they have a high probability of winning the championship!

James admitted that the Cavaliers' financial strength is not as good as that of the Nuggets, but in NBA history it is not always the team with the strongest financial strength that wins the championship.

What if the exhausted Ryan scores 8 points in a single game in the finals?None of this is certain!

I, Ajan, am about to rule the league!

Understand, Ajan has always been confident.In our opinion, four championships in 20 years does not constitute dominance.But in his mind, even if he doesn't get a ring, he's dominating the league.

After all, he once said: "If I had never joined the Miami Heat, I might have won a few fewer championships, but I would still have dominated this league."

Anyway, as long as I feel that I rule, I will rule!
The Cavaliers' successful revenge, coupled with James's strange attitude that "our finals opponent may not be Ryan", kicked off the "23VS0" finals for the first time.

This resulted in the two groups of fans complaining about each other on the Internet, which contributed new traffic to major basketball forums.

Nuggets fans complain that James ran all the way to the Finals with a basketball in his arms, and no one can stop him.

Cavaliers fans also responded with old sayings: "Can't find the black one? These can be said to be walking, which means you are not very good at playing in reality."

The lively brawl and media attention indicate that Stern's promotion of the finals has begun to bear fruit.

But Ryan was not affected by the loss to the Cavaliers. He was still focused on the current game and a complete victory at home!

After winning their 20th home victory of the season against the Lakers, the Nuggets are still winning consecutive games at home.

During this period, not every home game was smooth sailing.

But every time, Ryan can stand up and save the day!
On February 2, Ryan played against the Bobcats.Because Gerald Wallace, Okafor and Raymond Field all played excellent performances, the battle was very exciting.

In the last 57 seconds, the Bobcats were only 2 points behind, and the Bobcats still had the ball.

Jordan was so excited. It turned out that the team that broke their record was actually my own team?

But what happened in the last 57 seconds?

First, under Ryan's strong defense, Gerald Wallace turned around and dropped the ball directly.

At this stage, Wallace's back-up play is still immature, which is normal, and Ryan doesn't know how to play from behind.Hitting this thing from behind is very technical.The steps of the lower body, the feint of the upper body, etc. all require years of accumulation.

As strong as Kobe and Jordan, it was only in the later stages of his career that he really became successful in post-up play.

Of course, back-slapping is a skill only used by the weak, and it can be used by dogs.A GOAT who has played in the league for 20 years would be immature in post-up play, but that doesn't stop him from being a GOAT.

It's definitely not that he has no skills, he just doesn't bother to score in this way.

Even GOAT can't understand the technology, so it's normal for Gerald Wallace to not understand it.

After guarding against Gerald Wallace's back hit, Ryan then went straight into the penalty area on the offensive end. After attracting a double attack, he made a pass in the direction of Kirilenko.

Gerald Wallace and Okafor, who was guarding the basket, both reached out to steal the ball, but they didn't know that Ryan was just a fake pass!
After deceiving Wallace and Okafor, Ryan jumped up and scored with a one-handed dunk!

A beautiful fake dunk, Ryan used a strong breakthrough to open the point difference to 4 points!
In the end, the 4-point difference remained until the end.

Although the Bobcats had a blast today, Ryan's offense and defense at the critical moment still caused the Bobcats to lose 101 to 105!

Jordan was really panicked. Forget it once, Ryan actually won the game twice when the opponent exploded.

No, I don’t really want to build a statue for Ryan, right?
On February 2, the first game after the All-Star Game, the Jazz stormed the Pepsi Center.

Boozer's mid-range shooting was like a miracle, and Okur's three-point shooting was still brilliant today.

But in the fourth quarter, Ryan and Kirilenko each sent 3 blocks and jointly contributed 6 blocks in a single quarter, completely blocking the Jazz.

Boozer still had lingering fears after the game:
"This is the first time I feel so nervous about shooting. Once you lift the basketball, Ryan and Kirilenko may appear at any time to block your shot. They are too scary!"

Deron also lamented: "I wouldn't be surprised if the Pepsi Center really doesn't lose for a season."

After defeating the Rockets on March 3, the Nuggets had won 2 consecutive games at home!

Ryan also got another chance to win the lottery.

This time, Ryan drew on Garnett's "super defensive devil" trait.

The effect is that all defensive attributes are +4!

Ryan has never liked Garnett so much in his life!

But it is true that although Garnett is a bit funny in fighting and retreating, his scoring ability is also a bit anxious.

But the defense is really strong and he is really versatile, which is not bad.

As a power forward, Garnett will even steal from defenders from time to time.

For Garnett, there is nothing he can't do on the defensive end!

So this trait makes perfect sense!

After taking this trait, Ryan's lateral movement speed directly reached the maximum level of 99!

And there is still a little bit left, which is randomly assigned to the prediction of blocks.

So the three attributes of block prediction, rebound prediction and ball-handling steals all went up to 70!

They are 74, 72 and 70 respectively.

Although the pass steals are not 70, they are still 68!
Ryan's physical fitness is abnormal, and he has already won DPOY on the defensive end.

Now that these aspects are strengthened, his defensive data will undoubtedly become better!
From now on, Ryan's defense will be both gorgeous and practical!

This time, Ryan was even more powerful.

And if we can win the remaining 11 home games reliably, we can create a record that has never been seen before, and is very likely to be unprecedented!

However, in the last period of the game, except for the Cavaliers fans on the Internet who were still shouting "Crown Championship".

Ryan's old rival, the Spurs, also began to come out to disrupt the situation.

The Spurs had little sense of presence at the beginning of the season, mainly because they only met the Spurs once on the road.

At the end of the season, the Nuggets will meet the Spurs a total of 3 times!
The first was the meeting on the road in early March. The Spurs defeated the Nuggets with an 3-point advantage.

Returning to the Pepsi Center five days later, the Nuggets had indeed completed their revenge.

But the way to win this game was different from what people expected. Ryan only scored 18 points in this game and shot 41% from the field.

Because Webb, who had been tired for a season before this game, felt sore in his knee, Bird decided to let him rest for a while in order to ensure that Webber would appear in the playoffs.

So Birdman Anderson took over as the starter, so Popovich directly asked Duncan to release Birdman's shot.Then continuing the old strategy, Bowen forced Ryan to both sides, and Duncan waited for an opportunity to attack from a flank.

Without Weber, not only is there missing a mid-range shooting point, but it is also missing a tactical fulcrum.

After all, Webber is one of the most important points on the court.

With one less person to support him, Ryan's off-ball threat is also reduced.

If the Spurs were just defensive, it wouldn't make Ryan uncomfortable.

The key is that Harrington, a new player, also scored 20 points today, making up for the firepower gap of Parker who was locked up.

但还好，这场比赛基里连科打出了 20分9个篮板8个助攻6个抢断6个盖帽的5X5数据！

In the end, thanks to Kirilenko's desperate pass steal, the Nuggets narrowly won by 2 points!
The Spurs almost broke their unbeaten record at home!

Although the Nuggets won this game, after the game, Spurs fans felt that the Spurs would definitely be able to defeat the Nuggets in the last meeting between the two sides in the regular season!
Because in this game, Kirilenko's performance was a little too good.

You know, 5X5 data is difficult to obtain in basketball games.

In the entire history, except for Olajuwon, Kirilenko and Julius Erving, there is no fourth player who can score more than 1 5X5 data.

Even for Kirilenko, this is only the third time in his career!
To put it bluntly, the performance of 5X5 is something that can only be met but cannot be expected. It is a real miracle.

Kirilenko will never be able to perform 5X5 in a single game twice in one season!
Next time, without Kirilenko's 5X5 god-level data to save the game, can Ryan be lucky enough to win the game?

Don't think that Ryan can regain his touch in the next game. The Spurs' ability to guard Ryan today was not due to luck.

When Webber was unable to help Ryan open up space or feed Ryan the ball, the Spurs' defense still posed a great threat to Ryan.

Popovich also believes: "We are infinitely close to victory! But it doesn't matter, we still have another chance!"

In the penultimate game of the regular season, the Spurs will also visit the Pepsi Center.

According to Popovich's virtue, he should have been resting the main force by that time.

But this year is different. Whether the Spurs will continue to exert strength in that game depends on the Spurs' ranking by then.

This year, the competition in the Western Conference is as fierce as ever, although the top two teams are almost confirmed to be either the Mavericks or the Nuggets.

But the ranking battle between third, fourth and fifth is still full of suspense.

Popovich has to get his team to third place no matter what.

Because the fourth and fifth teams have to kill each other in the first round.

And if the Spurs are fourth or fifth, they will play the Warriors or Suns in the first round!
These two teams don't want to fight anymore, they are definitely Western Conference Finals-level teams!

Even if they pass the first round, the Spurs will have to shed their skin and become someone else's wedding dress in the second round.

This is definitely a result Popovich doesn't want to see.

If ranked fourth or fifth, it would be equivalent to being placed in the group of death in the playoffs.

Therefore, we must finish third this year no matter what, so that playing sixth in the Western Conference in the first round will be much easier.

Therefore, whether the Spurs will be able to exert their strength in the penultimate game of the regular season will depend on whether the Spurs can stabilize their third position in the Western Conference.

If the Spurs have firmly won third place in the Western Conference by then, then he will rest as usual.

Popovich doesn't care at all whether the Nuggets will break their home win record.

Regular season records are bullshit, championships are real.

But it would be embarrassing if the Spurs are not firmly in the top three in the Western Conference by then.

He must win a game at the Pepsi Center, improve his ranking, and at the same time prevent the Nuggets from breaking the record!

Previously, the Spurs were able to keep the Nuggets out of the Finals for two consecutive years.

Now, he also has the ability to wipe out the Nuggets' home victory record!
In the final stage of the regular season, the Western Conference is still fighting bloody battles!
Finally, after the third to last game of the regular season, the bloodiest thing happened!

With only two games left in the regular season, the Spurs and Suns both have 59 wins!
In other words, the third position in the Western Conference has not been stabilized yet!
The Spurs must strive to win the last two games in order to maintain third place in the Western Conference!

The Nuggets' last two games were both home games.

Although the final game is against the Grizzlies, who are competing for the top pick, winning is not a big problem.

But if they are overturned by the Spurs in the penultimate home game, then everything will be in vain!

The Spurs have to fight for the third place in the Western Conference. Ryan has already won 39 games at home. Naturally, it is impossible to give up the record of 41 wins at home!

Therefore, the Spurs and the Nuggets, Ryan and Popovich, are on opposite sides of each other's destiny again!

Once again, they will change each other's destiny!
Nuggets fans are still quite nervous. After all, Webber is going to play in this game.

And it was really difficult to play the last game without Webber.

Weber is the kind of player who feels unremarkable when he is here, but only realizes how important he is when he is gone.

Just like the Bucks in 23 years, I felt that he was mediocre when Holiday was here. But after replacing Holiday with Lillard, the team's offense only improved by one place, but its defense dropped by nine places!
With or without Holiday, there are two completely different situations!
The same goes for Webber, who felt old, slow and useless when he was here.But after his absence, the team's offensive fluency has declined visibly.

Without a low post support point inside, Ryan's off-ball offense has become less versatile.

Naturally, Weber took the initiative to ask for help and wanted to play through injury, but was rejected by the two hooligans Ryan and Bird.

Both Ryan and Bird understand clearly that the home winning record is final, but the championship is more important.

If Webb is used for this record, the playoffs will be even more difficult.

Ryan has not forgotten what a shame "73 wins and runner-up" was in the original history.

Although the Warriors won 73 games, no one would think they were better than the Bulls who won 72 games.

The reason is that they didn't win the championship.

Of course Bird is also thinking of ways to play without Webber and without Webber.

Whether the Nuggets can achieve a complete home victory record now depends on the match against the Spurs. You can imagine how much traffic there will be in this game.

Almost all basketball fans around the world are paying close attention to this game.

If Ryan wins, he will become a god. If he loses, Ryan will be shrouded in the shadow of the Spurs.

Popovich was asked if he could truly become the first team to defeat the Nuggets at home, and he responded by borrowing a sentence from a fan on the Internet:
"Ryan can't possibly expect Kirilenko to get another 5X5 data, right?
If Ryan really has a teammate who can win 5X5 data twice in a single season, then even if Ryan is replaced by LeBron, the Nuggets can also win the championship. "

Popovich's casual mention of Ajan brought Cleveland fans to a climax.

"That's right! He, Ryan, relies on his teammates! If our emperor had Kirilenko, he could easily remain undefeated at home!"

“Rational analysis shows that Kirilenko’s three 5x5s in his career are second only to Dameng, and he has one championship in his career, which is only one less than Dameng.

It is known that Da Meng is fifty years old, and Kirilenko is not much worse than Da Meng.

so.
Ryan has a 50-year-old teammate!I bother!

Can he call this strength?Chunchun hugs her thighs!

Don’t forget, without Kirilenko, Ryan wouldn’t be able to reach the finals! "

Good guy, Kirilenko probably called him a good guy after seeing it.

This may be the closest I’ve ever been to 50!
At this moment, all the monsters and ghosts who were looking forward to Ryan losing came out.

Ryan doesn't care too much about Cleveland fans. To be honest, it takes a matter of minutes to clean up the Cavaliers.If Ajan does make it to the finals, I hope Cavaliers fans won’t cry then.

We will deal with the Cavaliers later. Now Ryan has to deal with the Spurs first.

Although they lost the next game, the Nuggets could tie the historical record with 40 wins and 1 loss at home, and Ryan could also get his fourth reward.

But there is no doubt that working hard for a season and ending up one game short of breaking the record is no different from losing every game!
The day before the game, Ryan was still thinking about strategies with Bird.

Bird hopes to continue to use Nene + Birdman's inside line to compete defensively with the Spurs.

But Ryan had other ideas:
"Larry, give me another low-post support point and win 40 home games in two days!"

"There are no jokes in the army."

"41 wins! A low-position support point to capture 41 wins!"

"Okay, I'll give you some low-post support points! But this way there's no defense on the outside!"

"Don't defend! I can defend myself!
We are walking on thin ice now. Do you think we can still win 41 games at home if we don't change our approach? "

Bird looked at Ryan with firm eyes and almost took out the certificate of surrender for Ryan to sign.

Under Ryan's suggestion, tomorrow's starting code is determined.

Bird decided to move Kirilenko to the fourth position, replacing Webber in the low post.

On the outside, use Ellis + Dual-Blade Turkey, both of whom can also hit the ball.

In this way, all the ball release points around Ryan are available.

Of course, according to this method, Ryan's defensive pressure will be very high.After all, Kirilenko is missing from the outside to help him defend.

As for the Spurs' outside line, the combination of Parker + Ginobili is bound to be quite strong.Without Kirilenko to help, it would be really difficult to fight.

but
Doesn't being a star have to be in the most difficult place?
Which star player only likes to play simple fast break balls?

Fall short or make history.

It all depends on whether Ryan can really withstand the pressure on the outside defensive end tomorrow night!

Ryan is of course full of confidence in this. He is already very defensive, and most of his defensive attributes are over 70.

No matter what, it won't be too weak, right?
