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

Chapter 157 156: Super defense + super singles, the Nuggets are still the top team in the league!

Ben and Artest had already left a deep impression on fans around the world before the game even started.

One of them injured himself before even playing, and now he can only play with a piece of gauze on.

One of them started to lose touch even before the game started, and couldn't find the direction of the basket at all.

Denver fans are a little scared to watch!
This game won’t really lose by double digits again, right?
Cleveland fans and Boston fans are looking forward to it, looking forward to the sparks of the five-goal match between this pair of crouching dragons and Ryan!
Looking forward to the Nuggets being completely finished!

After all, this deal is the Nuggets' last struggle.

If Ben and Artest continue to play poorly, their trade value will become very low and they will directly fall into the hands of the Nuggets.

By then, the Nuggets will no longer be able to use any other chips to continue changing the lineup.

Bird no longer has the qualifications to shout "change a batch".

To put it bluntly, trading Ben and Artest is the Nuggets' last chance to change their fate.

If Ben and Artest pull their hips, the Nuggets' season will be completely over!

At the beginning of the game, Howard used his terrifying speed to win the basketball.

Daben curled his lips, time is really unforgiving.Who would have thought that he would also suffer from bullet speed now.

Seeing Howard steal the basketball, Artest also complained softly: "Some old centers are really useless."

"Fuck" Ben clenched his fists. Before, Cleveland fans and the media said he was useless.

What qualifications do you have, Artest, to complain about me?

No matter how useless I am, I am still better than you!
Big Ben immediately became energetic and must not lose face in front of a waste like Artest!

The Magic attack, and their starting lineup is Jameer Nelson, Tracy McGrady, Turkoglu, Lewis and Howard.

After Nelson held the ball for half the game, he immediately handed the ball to Turkoglu.

The Turkic Scimitar is the real organizational core of this team.

After years of failure, the Magic finally has a reliable system.

Van Gundy's semicircle tactic, that is, shooting from one star to another, amplifies the abilities of everyone on the team to the extreme.

Not only can Howard get space with one star, but McGrady can also get space for singles.

He moved to the right side of the three-point line by running without the ball and received a pass from Turkoglu.

But McGrady had just received the ball, and Artest, who had a piece of gauze taped to the corner of his eyebrow, immediately put it on roughly!

As soon as the game started, he stalked McGrady as if it was the last minute of the fourth quarter!
McGrady gritted his teeth. It was difficult to beat the Nuggets in the past, but AK and Ryan's defense was not that aggressive.

Artest lowered his center of gravity and placed an elbow directly on McGrady's waist.

The bottom plate directly jammed the most beautiful calves, making it inconvenient for McGrady to lift up.

Artest defends very seriously. This kind of defense was difficult to see when he was with the Kings last season.

But today, for the first time on defense, Artest went straight to the intensity!
First of all, Artest really wants to win, and secondly, he won't embarrass himself in front of that idiot Big Ben!

Take a break, old center, I want to show you what a true defensive warrior is!
McGrady was forced to make no move and could only rely on Artest to force a breakthrough.

After McGrady took a sudden step, before he reached the free throw line, he suddenly stopped, put his hands together with the ball, and prepared to pull it out!

Seeing this scene, many Magic fans in front of the TV were already cheering in advance.

They all believed this would be a wonderful pull-up goal!

Magic fans are not blindly confident, mainly because McGrady is indeed relatively strong during this period.

Although he was closed, don't forget that he was also closed in the original history, but he and the Rockets achieved that legendary 22-game winning streak.

McGrady played 22 games in the 21-game winning streak, and his attendance rate is considered very high.

Although the Rockets ended up ranking fifth in the Western Conference that season, they were only two games away from first place!

Therefore, McGrady is indeed past his peak, but Magic fans believe that this pull-up after leaving a little space can hit it steadily!
McGrady may not be the top scorer, but is there any suspense against Artest?
结果
McGrady didn't make a move at all!

The moment McGrady connected with the ball, it was really just that moment. Artest used extremely fast hands to do everything, and directly broke the basketball in McGrady's hand!This chip shot was so fast and accurate that McGrady didn't even react!
Artest's defensive style is very rough, but he is very delicate when holding the ball and stealing.

Even Kobe Bryant said: "You have to be careful with his hands that can suck the basketball away at any time!"

Magic fans were disappointed. They didn't expect Artest to be able to defend McGrady one-on-one!

Artest quickly advanced after grabbing the basketball, and McGrady quickly followed it up, not wanting to be counterattacked because of his mistake.

But the Nuggets' offense didn't stop. Artest saw that McGrady wanted to force him to slow down, so he followed suit and threw the ball into the air, and threw an alley-oop to Ryan who was also running forward!
Hehe, what can't I do about AK47's passing?

Throwing alley-oops to Ryan, isn't it just a matter of having the hands?

Please call me Magic Tai from now on!

I don’t know why, but when he saw Artest passing the ball, Bird subconsciously covered his face with his hands.
Artest is the only man who can make Big Bird lose his grace.

It is indeed necessary to have the hands to give Ryan the alley-oop, but
Those with weak hands may not be able to do it!

Artest's pass cannot be said to be far-fetched, it can only be regarded as completely inaccurate.

He really just threw the basketball into the air!

The basketball was not thrown close to the basket, but was about to hit the basket!

The Cleveland fans and Boston fans in front of the TV were already laughing in advance.

As expected of Artest, the first round of offense showed the strength that Wolong Phoenix should have!

Even Artest swallowed his saliva, knowing that he had messed up.

It's all over, it's all gone, why don't we be laughed at by that idiot, Big Ben, for the rest of our lives?

Although there seemed to be no chance of saving the ball, Ryan still jumped up and did not give up.

When the basketball was about to hit the basket, Ryan jumped up and grabbed the basketball with one hand.

But because the angle of the ball was so bad, when Ryan grabbed the basketball in the air, two-thirds of his body was behind the backboard.

In the air, Ryan had to lower his head to avoid hitting the backboard.

With this awkward posture, he would definitely be unable to dunk again.

Although Ryan worked hard, even Denver fans believed that this counterattack could not save him.

After all, Ryan has never been good at difficult layups.

What's more, this is a difficult alley-oop layup.

But with most of his body behind the backboard, Ryan used a soft touch and successfully put the ball in behind the backboard, completing an alley-oop layup behind the backboard!
The entire stadium fell into silence for an instant, and the audience seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, unable to believe what was happening in front of them.

The stadium lights were still dazzling, Ryan looked up to the sky and roared, and Artest waved his arms wildly.

Time did not stand still, but everyone was so shocked by this wonderful goal that they were unable to react at the moment.

A second later, cheers like a volcanic eruption instantly flooded the entire stadium!
Denver fans waved their posters, jumped and shouted loudly!

Ryan actually succeeded in this counterattack! ?

The replay of the previous goal was also shown on the TV and the big screen.

I have to say that Artest's passing of the ball is really bad, but Ryan's finish is really beautiful!
But the shocking thing about this goal is not just the wonderful goal itself. You must know that Ryan has always been a player who has not been very delicate in his layup skills.

But with such a difficult goal, Ryan was able to make steady progress! ?
This.
luck?
Of course it's not luck. Ryan's layup feel attribute has already reached 89!

This kind of ball is nothing impossible for Ryan now!
In the opening game against the Celtics and the last game against the SuperSonics, Ryan had little chance to show off his layup skills.

So this time, Ryan surprised everyone as soon as he came on!

Artest successfully defended McGrady alone, and Ryan scored an alley-oop layup after rebounding.
The anti-fan fans are not calm anymore. The Magic promised to beat the Nuggets by more than ten points?

Why did the Nuggets start so strongly! ?
Artest, who was still swallowing his saliva just now, is now feeling proud.

Hahahaha, even a dog can pass the ball to Ryan!
After returning to his own half, Artest looked at Ben and shrugged:

"What did I say? The defense doesn't need to bother an old center like you!
By the way, we don’t need you to attack!It’s enough to have my magician passing the ball to assist Ryan!
Remember, in Denver, you can only be ranked third! "

Artest was so proud, with his afro, Ryan's cock, only someone with my hardness is qualified to be it!

After AK47 and Weber are both useless, I am the only one who can restore Ryan to his glory as a man!

Only a dick like me can help Ryan create a three-peat trail!
Da Ben was so angry: "I'm the second one! I'm the one!"

Ryan was also speechless. Everyone is fighting for the top position, but you two are fighting for the second place.

As expected of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix!
At this time, all the fans were discussing Ryan's alley-oop layup just after the rebound.

Most haters think Ryan was just lucky.

No one wants to believe that Ryan can become stronger when he is already so powerful!
McGrady also cursed secretly, it was so embarrassing to be intercepted by someone like Artest!
It was my big E just now, there will be no accidents this time!

In this round, McGrady did not continue to beat Artest from outside the three-point line, but called Howard to come out to cover!
The power of the pick-and-roll between McGrady and Howard is self-evident.

If McGrady is flanked, Howard can attack the frame at will.

If one-on-one is determined, McGrady can make a mid-range pull-up shot whenever given a chance.

What worries Bird even more is that Artest is not very good at guarding pick-and-rolls.

Artest's defense just can't beat around the bush. As long as it's not a pure one-on-one, his defensive effect will be greatly reduced.

Under Artest's pressure, McGrady patiently waited for Howard to get into position in the pick-and-roll, and then accelerated to break through.

The moment McGrady broke through, Howard immediately followed.

Birdman didn't double attack, he really didn't dare to let Howard go directly.

Artest, on the other hand, was not good at getting around screens, so McGrady got space to shoot.

Just like that, McGrady easily shot from mid-range.

In the air, the man with the white horse and the spear smiled.

The era of the Nuggets is over, and next is the era of the Magic!

Artest had no time to interfere with McGrady, and McGrady took action calmly.

However, as soon as he threw the ball, he saw a mushroom cloud!

To be precise, it’s Da Ben’s afro!

Big Ben rushed to McGrady immediately. Although his bullet speed was no longer as good as at his peak, he was still among the top players in the league without any injuries.

He stretched out his long arms and tried to raise his body higher, using extra strength to defend himself.

At this time, what Ben was thinking about was not blocking Tracy McGrady, but: "We must not lose to Artest's [-]!"

In the end, Ben used his fingertips to rub down McGrady's shot!

McGrady's smile froze instantly. At this time, he suddenly remembered the summer of 2003, when the Magic led the Pistons 3-1.

But in the next three games, it was because of the sudden power of this afro that the game was suddenly reversed!

At this moment, the nightmare of 2003 seems to be hanging over McGrady again!

This terrifying afro, he hasn’t changed at all!

"Beautiful cover and block. Although McGrady passed Artest's level, Ben Wallace still rejected his goal! The Nuggets' defense is simply indestructible!"

With Mike Breen shouting, Cavaliers fans wanted to call the police!
Ah, no. In the preseason and opening game, Ben, you were not like this!
At that time, Big Ben was senile and seemed to have no passion at all, so that everyone felt that Big Ben was useless and had fallen off a cliff.

As a result, the Nuggets were able to perform such a wonderful defense and block?

When you are at home, you are like a dead fish, but when you go out, you have so much fun!

Are you worthy of us? ?

And
If you want to play like this, doesn't it really prove that Ajan is solely responsible for losing in the finals!
Indeed, the better Ben plays in the Nuggets, the more embarrassed James will be.

This time, Ben is going to take the blame and throw it back to James!

Whirlpool pot!
Not only did Ben complete the block, he immediately took off twice and firmly caught the dropped basketball.

Howard wanted to counterattack on the spot, but Ben raised his elbow and struck with all his strength.

Fortunately, the monster reacted quickly and dodged immediately.

Otherwise, he might be able to discuss with the admiral after the game his experience of sleeping on the basketball court.

Big Ben's excellent defensive block blocked the Magic's offense again!

After that, Ben immediately started talking trash.

But instead of yelling at McGrady, he was yelling at his teammate Artest:
"Haha, you have to wipe your ass for your rubbish defense.

You're already defeated without me, idiot! "

"Who told you to mind your own business? I'm obviously the first player to defend in the next round!"

"Oh thank God, you should understand the concept of defense first before talking about it!"

At this time, Ryan interrupted the two of them with a speechless yell: "Can you give me the ball first? It won't be a violation until halftime!"

Although Ben and Artest looked very silly arguing with each other, Nuggets fans have begun to feel that these two new players are both smelly and sweet!
Although these two guys are tall and thick, they don't have the grace of AK and Webber when playing.

Not smart yet!

But don't tell me, their defense is really good!

Artest was stalking the outside, while Ben was picking up the pieces behind him.

Ryan didn't even need to work hard on the defensive end, McGrady was solved!
Ryan himself smiled, even though Ben and Artest were competing with each other, hoping to prove that they were more effective on the defensive end than the other.

But this hostile relationship makes the defense with the Nuggets even better!
The two of them are entangled with each other, and the more entangled they are, the better the team's defense is.

And it was Ryan who finally harvested their sweat!
Damn, it’s fun to be an unscrupulous capitalist!

Roll it up, keep rolling it up!

Work hard, brother, try your best to be ranked first in Forbes this year!

Some more experienced fans discovered after two rounds that Bird had completely copied the Pistons' defensive system!

Larry Brown's defensive philosophy is that you cannot let your opponent handle the ball comfortably.Therefore, pressure must be applied the moment the opponent gets the ball.

Although this makes it easier for the opponent to break through, it doesn't matter. It's still too late to wait until the opponent breaks into the penalty area and then fill in the position.

To put it bluntly, he is a player who applies pressure from the outside and blocks sudden shots, and relies on his base as a pivot to cover for breakthroughs.

Although the Nuggets are big, their capabilities can no longer be compared with the Pistons' big guns.

But Artest's defensive pressure was something the Pistons didn't have on the outside back then!

So based on this, the Nuggets' defense is not necessarily worse than the Pistons' defense!
At this time, people suddenly discovered that although Artest and Ben had never dealt with each other.

But in terms of defensive style, they are a perfect match!
Bird copied the tactics brilliantly!
Big Bird: What?It just coincides with each other.

Ryan personally controlled the ball for half the game. Because the Nuggets' starting lineup did not have a serious point guard, Ryan's time holding the ball was greatly increased.

This is the Nuggets' first positional attack after Ben and Artest joined.

Since Artest almost passed the ball during the fast break just now, Nuggets fans don't expect him to send a wonderful pass to Ryan like AK.

As for the big book.
It's even less likely that he'll be expected to play like Webber.

Originally, there was no more gorgeous insider in the world than Weber.

Therefore, the Nuggets' positional offense will definitely be very jerky and clumsy.

Just like the Cavaliers last season!

Cleveland fans are already gloating. Ben may have been able to perform well on the defensive end just now, but on the offensive end, Ryan will soon experience the terror of Ben!
Oh, with the Nuggets' current lineup, there aren't that many people feeding Ryan the ball, and there's also a black hole in space like Ben.

Ryan's offensive performance will never be much better than James's in last season's finals!

Turkoglu defended very seriously. He knew that he only needed to block Ryan's shots.

Behind you, that guy Howard can handle everything!
Huo Zhongcheng was already a three-team center last season, and this season he will be selected for the defensive team for the first time.

Really starting to reach the top.

Therefore, Turkoglu is very confident behind him and confident in defending Ryan.

When there are not so many people giving Ryan the ball, Ryan is not so scary!
Ryan gestured two steps away from the three-point line, telling everyone to pull away.

Turkoglu was ready. Suddenly, he saw Ryan lowering his center of gravity to the left and preparing to kick off the ground with his feet, as if he was about to break through!

The Turkic Scimitar immediately moved in the direction of Ryan's breakthrough. As long as it could stick to Ryan, it didn't matter even if he forced it all the way to the basket.

In short, Ryan cannot be allowed to get space to take action!

But the next second, Turkoglu and the fans watching the game all over the world opened their mouths.

Because Ryan made a starting move, when the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, he followed up with a beautiful unlucky change of direction, changed the center of gravity, a false start of the unlucky change of direction, and passed Turkoglu in one step!

And because Ryan was the first step in activating it, he also received the blessing of Wade's talent fragments and rushed out in a "swish"!

When Turkoglu turned around, he could only stare at Ryan's back in a daze.

Denver fans wiped their sweat as they watched Ryan pass by Turkoglu beautifully.

Is this picture something we can see?

Isn't Ryan's breakthrough usually a straight line?

Just now, what happened to the change of luck after such a beautiful false start? ?
Ryan's current dribbling attribute of 77 will not allow him to toy with his opponents like Irving.

But the kind of bad luck just now can still be done.

Ryan now only needs to grasp the rhythm and use simple changes of direction + Wade's talent fragments to complete a wonderful pass!
After breaking through Turkoglu, Ryan stopped in the mid-range and prepared for a jump shot.

But at this time, Tracy Wang rushed over, completely let go of Artest, and tried his best to defend Ryan.

Artest was overjoyed, raised his hands and shouted: "I'm empty! I'm empty!"

Artest was indeed empty, but Ryan ignored it.Artest's three-point shooting is much better than AK47, but it is not stable after all.

And with Artest's character, you don't know if he will honestly make an open jump shot after receiving the ball.

This guy often does some incredible tricks.

What if he dumps the ball in Bird's face again?
So Ryan decided to continue the attack himself!

McGrady jumped up and discovered that although Ryan stopped suddenly, he did not put his hands together with the ball!
That's right, after a beautiful fake move, Ryan passed through McGrady and continued to break through.

But the Magic's defense has not failed yet!
Inside, the young and energetic monster has been waiting for a long time.

Ryan jumped up directly to face Howard, but the Warcraft of this period was really no worse than Ryan in terms of athletic ability!
Howard rushed in, covering up the sky and reaching the same height as Ryan!
As long as he waves his hand, he will definitely be able to complete a top ten ball-level blocking dunk!

But Ryan retracted the basketball in the air, avoided Howard's big hand, and flew to the other side of the basket.

Pull-up dunk?

Ryan has performed this kind of operation countless times.

But this time it could never be a pull-up dunk, because after Ryan avoided Howard and flew to the other side of the basket, he was already too far away from the basket and it was impossible to dunk on his back.

After Ryan avoided Howard, he made a pull-up layup with his back to the basket!
Seeing this scene, Magic fans let out a big sigh of relief.

Although Ryan's previous performance of beating Turkoglu and Tracy McGrady was quite exciting, the whole world knew that Ryan's pull-up layup was as useless as James' mid-to-long jump shot.

If Ryan can be forced to pull up for a layup, Howard's defense is considered a success.

Cleveland fans are also proud. If this ball had been played last season, Ryan could have turned into a pass in the air after attracting the inside defense, and passed it to Nene or Webber for a mid-range shot.

But now, neither a birdman nor a big man has the ability to open up space.

Ryan could only do it himself.

Hahahaha, do you know what kind of trash teammate Ben is?
You kid has finally tasted the hardships my emperor endured!

Look, you guys are too embarrassed to brag!

Ryan's unlucky pass just now is surprising enough, but there is no way he can surprise twice in one round!

No, the alley-oop layup behind the rebound was already a lucky ball.

But luck can't help Ryan perform magic tricks again and again!

It's just that no one expected that after the alley-oop layup and the back-up dribble, people really saw that Ryan once again created a miracle!

Because Ryan's pull-up layup, which turned into a dunk, was like a magical golden meteor, falling steadily into the net!
Ryan successfully ended the attack with a pull-up layup that he was least good at!

Ryan landed firmly. This time, he was no longer able to only make moves but not score.

The layup feel of 89 makes Ryan's pull-up layup very guaranteed!
At that moment, the hearts of Cleveland fans went cold.

Why is it that with the same inside line and the same bloated offense, Ryan can score goals! ?

Nonsense, if it were James, he wouldn't be able to dazzle anyone with his bow. At most, he would be in trouble with McGrady's defensive step.

But Ryan was different. He slapped the Cleveland fans in the face and told them: "Don't always blame your teammates if you can't do it!"

After the goal, Ryan turned to face the bottom corner, saw a surprised Artest, and waved to him:

“Sorry Ron, I didn’t pass it to you who was open.

But with this kind of garbage lineup, it’s easier for me to defend by myself than to shoot open shots! "

Ryan deliberately responded to McGrady's trash talk before the game, and was so arrogant that he knew no bounds.

But Ryan is not afraid of angering the Magic.

Because he believes that with his current singles ability and the team's terrible defense.

No matter how angry the Orlando Magic is, they can only be helpless and furious!
Mike Breen also shouted loudly: "With super strong singles ability and super defensive ability, Denver is still a top team!"

Want to see the Nuggets roll over?

Sorry, Ryan is going to disappoint the fans again!

At this time, the most nervous people are the Cleveland fans and James.

If Ryan easily defeated the Magic with his big budget, who should be fully responsible for last season's finals?
Isn’t it time for the truth to come out?
Do not! ! ! !

　Thanks for the tip from the guy who was sitting alone on the beach watching the sunrise, thank you all!
