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

Chapter 180: The Lakers are about to dominate the West? Don't worry, the Nuggets' lineup has just become complete!
  "Reed's last-minute wasteful shot caused the Cavaliers to lose, James' magical performance was tragically buried, and his god-level statistics were reduced to nothing!"

"You can't ask James to do more!"

"LeBron: You know, Reid is an extremely good player. Please stop blaming him. I have forgiven him."

"Ryan only scored 51 points and his performance was mediocre. James and Reid scored 45 points together!"

Reed looked at the news on the Internet and shook his head with a wry smile.

Although two days have passed since this game, looking back, it still hurts so much!
  It was just a game, but Reid felt that he had grown a lot!
  The university of society is indeed teaching you how to be a good person all the time!

He really didn't expect that today's young leaders would be so mature in painting skills!
  As I said before the game, if I win, it’s mine, if I lose, it’s his.

The results of it? Oh, a man's mouth!

After you cheat everything you want and eat, nothing will count!

Reid can be content. He just took the blame for a game, and it's not like he lost 2000 million.

Just taking the blame a little bit, Ajan has already treated Reed quite well.

Besides, Azhan was talking about splitting accounts between [-] and [-] at the beginning. How could this be considered a lie?
  Although Nike and James' team are using the power of the media to try their best to make Reid bear everything and reduce the impact of this defeat.

But fans are not stupid. Now on the Internet, even Cleveland fans will no longer compare James with Ryan.

Most of them are now boasting: "LeBron is the deputy GOAT of the 03 class!"

Bird's words back then, "We're not here to compete for second place, are we?" now have an alternative answer.

Why is it embarrassing to be proud of being second?

The gap between James and Ryan is so huge that it can no longer be erased by the power of the media alone.

It is said that "one championship will surpass Jordan", but you must at least have one championship before the media can boast that you surpass Jordan.

If you don’t even win a championship, how can the media brag about it?
  Therefore, if James wants to meet Ryan again, he must at least beat Ryan beautifully once.

But even such a simple request is extremely difficult for James now.

James was also quite embarrassed. He thought that changing teammates would give him a chance to defeat Ryan.

As a result, changing teammates actually exposed myself!
  At this time, Ajan's mind was filled with the plan of "finding higher-level teammates to form a team".

Perhaps, that is really the only chance to save his career.

And on this cold winter night, it wasn't just Reed and Ajan who were embarrassed.

Swift was sitting on the couch at Ryan's house wearing only one of Ryan's shirts, holding a cup in both hands and looking very shy.

Swift felt embarrassed when she thought about what happened last night.

She has never been so embarrassed in her life!

Last night, even though Christmas was over.

But Swift still flew back to Denver on Ryan's private jet, hoping to make up for Christmas with Ryan.

This was their first Christmas together, and it would be too dull if they just spent it at work.

Coincidentally, the Nuggets also gave the players two days off after the Christmas game. Not only are there no games, there are no trainings.

So, Ryan and Swift went to the mall and bought a bunch of new clothes.

They had a candlelight dinner together in the evening. Although the final product was ruined in color, smell and taste, they had to order a pizza for dinner, but the two of them were still very happy.

After dinner, Ryan and Swift cuddled up on the sofa and watched "Love Actually," a must-see Christmas romance movie here in the United States.

When the film ended and the subtitles began to play, the romantic atmosphere that had been heightened also made Swift hug Ryan tightly and start a new round of kisses that can never be too much.

But this time while they were kissing, Swift reached out and touched into Ryan's shirt.

Ryan suddenly stopped. He and Swift had been kissing in the car for [-] minutes before going upstairs. Naturally, it couldn't be to save energy to beat Kobe.

But it seems that Swift is not ready yet.

After all, this is the 18-year-old Swift, who is different from the more experienced scandal queen.

Naturally, Ryan would not take the initiative to ask about this matter. After all, this kind of thing usually happens naturally, and it would be meaningless to talk about it.

So today, when Swift looked at Ryan affectionately with her fiery eyes, Ryan knew that the water was here!
  Once the water arrives, it will be done!

Ryan also took off Swift's coat quickly and unceremoniously. Don't ask, it's just that she is talented.

The two hugged each other, and Swift had decided that she would devote herself unreservedly to Ryan this Christmas.

But just when the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, Swift discovered that she had suffered a bloodshed incident that was inevitable for her daughter.
  Originally, according to calculations, it should be a few days before arriving, and Swift has always been very punctual.

Unexpectedly, it was earlier than expected this time!
  Ryan can fight bloody battles on the basketball court, but he can't do that in this kind of thing.

Therefore, Swift wanted to dedicate herself, but embarrassingly failed to dedicate herself!

When I woke up today and thought about this, Swift felt uncomfortable.

Ryan, will he be disappointed?

Although Ryan still slept soundly with his arms around him yesterday, I still felt so sorry for him!

While she was thinking about it, Ryan, who had just been looking through the drawers, walked up and put his hand directly into her clothes.

"Ah, Ryan, me."

Swift thought Ryan had been holding it in all night and finally couldn't hold it in, but then, she felt warm in her stomach.

It turned out that Ryan found a warm baby heating patch and put it on her belly:

"Please keep warm during this special period in winter. Stop running around these days and have a good rest. I'm going to train and will take you to eat delicious food when I come back."

Taylor held her stomach and nodded obediently.

But soon, she frowned again: "Ryan, why do you always have heating patches ready at home?"

"Oh, Daddario bought it when I had neck pain before and put it on myself!"

Fortunately, Ryan reacted quickly enough and didn't let anything slip.

Although Ryan did not blame Taylor for this matter, it was naturally impossible for him to be angry or anything.

But he felt really unlucky!
  We were all ready to go straight in, but we encountered this kind of thing at this critical node.

It's really speechless.

However, what Ryan never expected was that Swift's bloodshed was just the beginning.

The next journey to chase the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference was just like this romantic Christmas Eve, always going wrong at key points!

After defeating the Cavaliers in the Christmas Day game, the Nuggets finally lost to Ryan in their first game since their comeback, to the Mavericks.

In this game, Nowitzki and AI's touch was really good, but Ryan's touch went cold after six games, so he only scored 24 points today.

The streak of 40+ records ended here.

Originally, the Lakers also lost today. If the Nuggets can win this game, they can reduce the winning gap to only 3 games.

But the Nuggets failed to seize the opportunity, failed to improve at the critical moment of the top position, and their progress in regaining the first place in the Western Conference was slowed down.

In January after this, similar things happened several times.

Every time it looks like the gap will be further narrowed, there will be an untimely failure.

Every time they finally expected the Lakers to lose, the Nuggets themselves made mistakes.

Sometimes it's Artest or Ben who gets into foul trouble, and sometimes it's the opponent who's feeling great.

In short, the Nuggets' pursuit of the Lakers suddenly stalled.

Of course, the Nuggets didn't suddenly become incapable of playing after their previous six-game winning streak. In fact, throughout January, the Nuggets only lost 4 games in total.

But the Lakers also only lost 1 games in January!
  In other words, if the Nuggets want to close the gap of three wins, they can only lose one game in January!
  Ryan actually never thought about becoming a big fat man in one bite. Originally, if he lost one or two games less than the Lakers this month, he could narrow the gap. But every time when the final kick is critical, the Nuggets will lose the game.

After the final game in January, the Nuggets had 1 wins and 31 losses, while the Lakers had 13 wins. The gap was still 34 games.

Because Bynum and Ariza have not been injured in this history, the Lakers' record is better than the original history, and it is more difficult to catch up.

At this point, the season is already halfway through.

The time left for the Nuggets is getting increasingly urgent.

Countless media outlets in Los Angeles are celebrating:

"The Nuggets are indeed very strong, but they can only finish second in the Western Conference!"

"No one can stop the Lakers from taking the No. [-] spot this season! Kobe's era is destined to come!"

"Ryan can't do everything he says! His promise to return to the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference is about to turn into a blank check!"

Even Kobe also threatened: "As long as I am still in Los Angeles, the Nuggets can only catch up to second place! And second place is often the biggest loser!"

Just as Nuggets fans were preparing to fight back against Kobe and looking forward to the team taking first place in the Western Conference in February.

However, the Lakers released a big move at the beginning of February!
  That's right, my sister-in-law is here!
  "In a shocking trade, the Lakers, the No. [-] player in the Western Conference, acquired Grizzlies star Pau Gasol!"

"The Lakers used the signing rights of Kwame Brown, Crittenton, Aaron McGee, and Marc Gasol, as well as two first-round picks in 08 and 10, at almost no cost. In this case, it was replaced by Gasol!"

"Kobe Bryant, who is in excellent form, is even more powerful. The Nuggets' illusion of returning to the top spot in the Western Conference is completely shattered!"

For a time, media all over the world were reporting on this shocking robbery-style transaction.

Although Pau Gasol is just an ordinary All-Star, even if Gasol is included, the Lakers only have two All-Stars, Kobe and him.

But in this era, even this combination is quite surprising.

The most important thing is that Pau Gasol is still at his peak!
  This is fundamentally different from the Bird trade that acquired Ben and Artest at the beginning of the season.

Of course Ben and Artest are also All-Stars, but they both had troubles with the Kings and were completely out of shape.

A knight was accused by thousands of people and fell from the top.

At the time, no one knew what Artest and Big Ben would be like in Denver.

As for Gasol, he has just reached his peak and has just signed a maximum salary contract with the Grizzlies.

So everyone knows that he will definitely be able to make a difference next to Kobe!

Think about it, one day a young and beautiful sister-in-law suddenly came to the house, wouldn't the whole family suddenly be filled with infinite vitality?

After the Lakers got Gasol, it was not just bad news for the Nuggets who were struggling to catch up.

This is bad news for the entire Western Conference and even the entire league!
  Just look at how angry Popovich was. The old man claimed directly in front of the media: "It's like using a few coins to get a hundred dollars!"

The Lakers' mortal enemy, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge, also called out: "This deal is ridiculous. The league should organize a trade supervision committee to prevent this unfair deal from happening!"

Although Anji formed the Big Three through trade last summer, his bargaining chips are not as empty as the Lakers.

The whole world is crazy. Everyone knows what it means for the Lakers, who are already No. [-] in the Western Conference, to get Gasol without damaging the original structure of the team.

Moreover, Gasol's style is very suitable for Kobe Bryant and Jackson's triangle offense.

He does not have a domineering temper like a shark, but has a gentle nature and is naturally an excellent secondary attacker.

At the same time, he is one of the giants with the best passing ability in the league, and he was simply born for the triangle offense!
  Popovich and Ainge are like that, and Nuggets fans are even less calm.

What happened to this world?
  First it was the Celtics' Big Three, and then it was the Lakers' empty-glove sister-in-law.

Can you still have fun?

Will the next step be for three young superstars to form a team together?
  Ajan: This suggestion is not impossible!
  After this blockbuster deal happened, people naturally interviewed Bird and Ryan.

Lakers fans wanted to see the surprised expressions of the two people, but these two people were very calm.

Bird just shrugged: "I don't care about the details of the deal between the Lakers and the Grizzlies, because the deal has been reached, and it's too late to say anything else. Now, I only care about how to beat them. Any team has weaknesses, take The Lakers who played Gasol also have weaknesses!"

Ryan was even more domineering: "When LeBron and Reid teamed up, you also said that they were very strong. What was the result? Nothing more than that."

Reed: "Stop talking Ryan, my friend feels a little uncomfortable after hearing this!"

However, after all, only a few are as confident as Bird and Ryan.

This deal by the Lakers shocked the entire league.

Most media, including the famous player Barkley, believe: "The Lakers may become the first team to make Ryan break his promise!"

There is no way, No. [-] in the Western Conference + Gasol, people really can't imagine how the Lakers will fall behind the Nuggets.

This is indeed the case. If Ryan remembers correctly, after Gasol came to the Lakers, he finally became a complete Laker and once had a wave of 11 wins and 1 loss.

However, this shocking transaction also concealed the excitement of another matter.

And this matter is precisely related to the Nuggets!

After today's training, Ryan did not leave immediately. Instead, he continued to practice shooting with a teammate on the training ground.

Looking at the slender guy who looked like the boss of a hey gang and whose fierce eyes would give him chills just by looking at him, Ryan couldn't help but grin.

Without him, he would not have won the previous two consecutive championships!

The man's muscular body was already covered in sweat.

A large new tattoo was added to his back, but the theme is very "nerdy", it is a paladin from "World of Warcraft".

This guy who combines a fierce appearance and a dead heart is exactly why Ryan is so confident.

The Lakers' lineup has finally become complete, and the Nuggets' lineup is about to become complete!

AK47 Andrei Kirilenko finally returned from the injury suffered at the beginning of the season!
  After shooting several sets of three-pointers in a row, Kirilenko stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Ryan aside:

"I haven't touched the ball for a long time. It feels like it will take time to recover."

Ryan waved his hand: "Tch, it's like how accurate you were in shooting before."

"No matter what, it's better than your new girlfriend with an afro, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, he and Artest are a couple. You know, I have always only had you in my heart."

After the joke, they both laughed and hugged each other.

Today is the first time Kirilenko has practiced with the ball since his injury, and Bird also plans to let him officially return in recent games.

By then, the Nuggets' already invincible defense will undoubtedly be able to take it to the next level!

Just hearing the name of the blockade of Kirilenko + Artest + Ryan + Ben is already quite despairing.

Regarding offense, you may need to look at the touch occasionally.

But this thing of defense will never betray you!

Therefore, Ryan believes that when Kirilenko returns, he will be able to lead the team to a stable winning streak.

Completely surpass the Lakers!
  Lakers dominate the West? Can Kobe and Gasol securely occupy first place in the Western Conference?

I want to eat fart!
  There is nothing that Ryan said he couldn't get back!

At this moment, all fans around the world are immersed in the shock of Gasol joining the Lakers.

Few people noticed the news that Kirilenko was about to return from injury, and no one cared about how much the true MVP of the 07 European Championship would change the league structure.

But no one is paying attention now, so it doesn’t matter.

When Ryan leads the Nuggets to first place in the Western Conference, everyone will notice.
  　Today’s [-]-word update is here, and I’m asking for my monthly votes! Thank you stepfathers!
