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

Chapter 191: Three consecutive MVPs, just one step away from becoming a legend! Is this the real playoff opponent next?

The aggressive Chris Paul was easily knocked down by Ryan in the four most critical rounds.

A suspended block, a steal in the air, and a layup with a change of hands.

Three consecutive magical operations made the Wasp completely lose the courage to resist.

At this time, Paul's mind kept flashing back to the scene where Ryan ran to the bench to provoke.

"Just four rounds. After four rounds, you will be completely finished."

He was arrogant and domineering, but he did it!

This was a total blow to Paul's confidence and a complete shattering!

After four rounds, the score difference was widened to 11 points, with only 2 minutes left in the game.

The Hornets were beyond help.

When Ryan ran to the Hornets bench just now to provoke, the entire Hornets team heard what Ryan said.

So, it's not just Paul who has given up now.

The entire Hornets team also lost the belief in winning.

Facing a guy who says he will kill you if he presses you to death, and who says he will finish the game in four rounds, he will never waste any more time.

This means that the game is completely under the control of the other party!

How can this be won?

How can people have the belief to fight against this?

On the big screen at the scene, a series of magical performances by Ryan just now were still being played.

When he saw that aerial steal, even Bird couldn't help but ask Ryan:

"How did you know in advance that he was going to pass the ball to Tyson Chandler?"

Ryan shrugged: "I'm not a prophet, how can I know?"

"Then how can you anticipate and complete a steal in the air?"

"I think I must have reacted too quickly on defense, Larry. As soon as we defend the players, that's how it is, you won't understand."

Big Bird:.

Bird wondered if he was not coaching the women's basketball team, so why was he so confused when he disagreed?

Bird no longer struggled with how Ryan did it. Normal people really shouldn't try to understand their games.

Unexpectedly, the final killing move only took four rounds, and the hornet was already dead.

Ryan just stepped forward and shook it twice, and the Hornets were completely disarmed.

What more can be said? The Hornets do have some strength, but not much.

Their game is slightly more interesting than the Suns.

But that's all!

In the next 2 minutes, the Hornets, which had lost all confidence, failed to organize a beautiful counterattack.

Although the Hornets succeeded in narrowing the point difference to single digits in the end, the Nuggets still successfully won the first game of the second round with a score of 99 to 91 and took the lead!

Won five consecutive victories in the playoffs so far!

Ryan, he wasn’t even the top scorer on the Nuggets today.

But almost all commentators around the world expressed one thing in various languages ​​at the end of the game:

"Ryan completely dominated the game!"

At the end of the game, Paul walked off the court without grace.

Ryan stood up and pulled the trigger three times in Paul's direction!

Ryan doesn't need Paul to show his grace, but he will never leave a trace of dignity to Paul!

Sager, the famous NBA sideline reporter, appeared in front of Ryan and put his hand on Ryan's shoulder affectionately:

"Ryan, you mercilessly strangled the Hornets at the last moment, and your continuous magical performances were simply wonderful!

Comment on this game. What do you want to say to everyone now? "

Ryan showed a relaxed smile: "Xiaopao has made great progress today. He dares to make moves. At 20+10, I also sweated a little. I hope he can continue to keep up. He will definitely be able to play in the Western Conference Finals in the future."

"Uh, Western Conference Finals?"

Sager was a little confused. Usually when you say good things about your opponents, isn't it to wish them to win the championship? It always feels a bit wrong to wish others to play in the Western Conference Finals.

Just like when you praise a woman, you must say that she is beautiful and have a good figure. It is impossible to say to her, "You are really sexy."

Ryan didn’t think there was anything wrong with his answer:

"Yes, what else? Do I have to say against my will that a player like Chris Paul can win a championship? Let's wait until he can play in the Western Conference finals."

Well, Sagar understands now.

Ryan is not comforting his opponent, nor is he saying good things about his opponent.

If you win the battle, you still have to keep your breasts!

Paul thought he could avoid embarrassment by quickly fleeing the scene, but that was just a cover-up.

Ryan was arrogant before the game, and even more arrogant after the game!

Paul was arrogant before the game, but Paul was so shameful after the game!

Now, no one expects Ryan to be slapped in the face for his arrogance.

At least Ryan's face is not something Paul can hit.

On the other side, Bird was also being interviewed by other reporters.

When asked, "Why did Ryan have to defend Paul in the last four minutes?" Bird shook his head seriously:

"I must admit that this was a strategic mistake on my part."

Reporters thought Bird was trying to say that he asked Ryan to defend Paul too late.

If Ryan had been asked to defend Paul earlier, the game might have been over long ago.

As a result, Bird said: "I asked Ryan to face Paul too early!"

“Because I didn’t want to leave the Hornets time to chase points, I asked Ryan to guard Paul at the last moment.

I thought it would take almost four minutes for Ryan to finish Paul off. While finishing the game, we will also consume time to the extent that it is beneficial to us.

Who would have thought that Ryan could solve the problem in just two minutes!

I shouldn't let Ryan waste those two more minutes of energy. After all, we still have to play in the finals.

So, this was a strategic mistake on my part! "

The reporters were speechless. It has to be you as Bird!

This is the consequence of losing to the Nuggets. If you lose to other teams, at most you will be ridiculed by the star.

But if you lose to the Nuggets, the stars and head coach will laugh at you one by one!

And they are all humiliating and full of taunts! Makes you wonder if you should play basketball at all!

Under the double humiliation of Bird and Ryan, God knows whether Paul can still face the next game.

Of course, in addition to Bird and Ryan, the Nuggets also have a high-profile star today.

That was Artest who scored the highest score on the team.

At the press conference after the game, Artest received praise from many reporters.

However, Artest was not greedy for credit, but pointed to Ryan next to him:

"It was Ryan who gave me the confidence to take bold shots. Anyway, with him here, I felt that even if I couldn't make a shot, we could still win the game. So, I shot boldly and confidently."

Artest's words made the reporters at the scene burst into laughter, but it was magical to say that Artest, who had almost completely faded out of people's sight in the Kings before, now became the team's scoring leader in the playoffs.

Right now, Artest seems to be an indispensable general. But when he was traded to the Nuggets at the beginning of the season, few people in the world expected him to have any positive impact on the team.

First, the aging Webber won two rings in the Rockies, and then he was kicked out by Cleveland fans. Artest, who was abandoned by the world, took on a new life in the Nuggets.

There is simply no more amazing leader in the world than Ryan.

The next day, the NBA official website released a video of the five best shots from last night's game as usual.

Unsurprisingly, Ryan alone occupied three of the top five spots.

In the end, the Jordan-style layup without any doubt became the top five player of the day.

Perhaps because this shot is so similar to Jordan, the topic of "Can Ryan surpass Jordan" has become hot again.

However, the popularity of this topic did not last long, and it was snatched away by Kevin Garnett.

In the afternoon, the league announced that the creator of the moonwalk, Harde, became the best defensive player of the season.

This is the first time in his career that he has received this honor.

However, this award caused a lot of controversy. Many fans felt that Ryan was more qualified than Garnett.

But the Celtics also have reasons to say that you, Ryan, led three teammates who have won the first defense, and none of my teammates led by Garnett have ever entered the defensive formation. As a result, the defensive efficiency of the two teams is almost the same.

That has to be Garnett.

If you don't accept it, you'll crush the Celtics' defense!

But after losing DPOY, Denver fans were quickly compensated.

That was the third consecutive season that Ryan won the regular season MVP trophy!

There was no suspense about this thing from the beginning. Although the Nuggets and Celtics both had 66 wins, there was no player on the Celtics whose overall statistics were comparable to Ryan's.

What's more, Ryan also led the team to a historic 21-game winning streak in the regular season.

A historic three consecutive 40+10 games.

Six straight 40+ games. These are all big plus points.

Although the Nuggets won 68 games last season and won 66 games this season, they dropped two games.

In 97, the media gave Malone the MVP instead of Jordan for this reason. I feel that the Bulls' 97 wins in 69 were a step down from the 72 wins last season, so Jordan should not win the MVP.

But there is no unified standard for MVP selection.

There is no rule that stipulates that those whose regular season record declines must not win the MVP.

Overall, Ryan's regular season performance is still flawless, and no one in the league shines brighter than him.

Therefore, there is no problem in giving MVP to him again.

Ever since, Ryan became the first player since Larry Bird to win three consecutive MVP awards!

However, Bird pretended to beep when the MVP was awarded: "Congratulations to Ryan, you are getting closer to me."

Ryan is also convinced by Bird. When you were young, you could just use your hands to pretend. For men, it's normal to pretend to beep with both hands.

But now as a coach, you can only use your mouth and pretend. How can a grown man pretend to beep with his mouth?

Although in terms of three consecutive MVPs, Ryan still has Bird on his head.

But three consecutive championships + three consecutive MVPs, this is something that no one has done in modern basketball.

Even Jordan, in his two three-peats, was snatched away from the MVP by Barkley and Malone respectively.

Therefore, if Ryan, who has been MVP for three consecutive times, wins the championship again this year, it will be the most powerful proof of his dominance!

At least three MVPs and three consecutive championships will prove that Ryan has truly dominated the league for a period of time, rather than relying on the number of times he played in the second and third teams in the finals to prove his dominance.

The day Ryan won the MVP, the headline given by Sports Illustrated was: "Chasing the Legend, Becoming a Legend!"

Ryan is only three rounds away from becoming a legend!

Considering the Hornets are already half-dead, that's still two and a half rounds left.

In the next three games, the Nuggets easily defeated the Hornets.

Bird's "four-minute pinch" strategy was quite successful, allowing Ryan to win the game steadily every time without having to play too hard.

In fact, the Hornets lost by double digits in only the last of their four games.

The final points difference in the other three games was within a few points.

But the fans just felt that the Nuggets crushed the Hornets all the way and won the game.

This is mainly because every time Ryan exerts his strength, the Hornets have no chance at all.

Although the point difference was small, the Hornets never gave the Nuggets fans a sense of crisis that "it's over, we may lose this game."

Every time Ryan exerts his strength, the Hornets have no other way to deal with it except closing their eyes and trying to enjoy it.

Therefore, although the score difference is not big, Ryan can get the Hornets right every time.

It gives people a feeling of being crushed throughout.

4-0, Ryan smiled and faced the camera after the game:

"I've said it a long time ago, not seven games, not six games, not five games.

In four games, I can handle Chris Paul. "

After the first game, in fact, no fans or media still had hope for the Hornets.

But people feel that the Hornets can at least win one or two games and put on a little resistance.

As a result, they are not much different from the sun.

Paul has become an overestimating clown in the basketball story of this season.

At the end of the series, Magic even commented on this junior:

"Chris is actually impeccable at the basketball level, he is a perfect point guard.

The only thing he needs to learn now is not to anger those who are stronger than you!

If Ryan hadn't been angered, Paul might still have a taste of victory. "

Two rounds, two rounds to sweep.

Everyone is curious, do the Nuggets really have any opponents?

Of course, the last team that won three consecutive championships is trying to regain their honor!

In the 07-08 season, the Lakers, like the Nuggets, reached the Western Conference Finals with unstoppable momentum.

In the first round, they easily swept the Mavericks.

Encountering the Warriors in the second round, the Lakers only allowed the Eastern giants to win one victory.

Yao Ming can still average 22.3 points and 11.3 rebounds per game despite being surrounded by the Lakers' three-high lineup.

But the Warriors couldn't hold down Kobe at all. There was no player on the team who could match up with Kobe.

Kobe faced the Warriors and averaged 33.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game.

And the shooting rate is only 2% lower than the center Yao Ming!

If Arenas is here, at least he can find a way to compete with Kobe.

But without Arenas, the Warriors have no one to fill this hole.

Although they lost one more game than the Nuggets, considering that the Warriors have a better regular season record than the Hornets, one more loss seems to be nothing.

The 2008 Los Angeles Lakers were undoubtedly a strong team. Although the team's second-in-command, Pau Gasol, actually only played less than 30 regular season games with the Lakers, they still completed 6 4 wins.

The Lakers last season were almost useless except for Kobe.

But this season, the Lakers suddenly have no major shortcomings.

They have no shortage of height. Gasol and Bynum are both over 2 meters tall.

They have no shortage of forward defense. Kobe and Ariza are both very cumbersome defenders.

They have no shortage of shooting range. Derek Fisher, who has returned to Los Angeles, can always deliver fatal long-range shots at the most critical moments.

They even have no shortage of substitute players. Odom, Farmar, Vujacic, etc. are all perfectly suited to the triangle offense and are responsible for spreading salt on the opponents' wounds after the starting lineup opens the gap.

Of course, their core, the guy who is always obsessed with winning, is the key to this Lakers' ability to get back to the 60-win mark.

In the previous three championships, Kobe had sharks around him. Now, Kobe needs to rely on his own strength to get a ring of his own.

That is the legendary win a real ring.

He needs to rely on his own strength to completely surpass O'Neal!

Kobe will do his best for this goal, and is even willing to be smashed to pieces on the court!

He knows the right way to play, and he can also deliver great passes to move his teammates along.

But when necessary, he will also use his own way to solve problems, and often can really solve them.

He is the only player who understands the true meaning of basketball, but still dismisses it at critical moments!

Because he believes in his own abilities more than anything else!

This bloodthirsty snake will definitely launch the most deadly attack on you personally! I will brutally kill you with my own hands!

What Ryan and his fellow mine workers need to hold on to next is such a resurgent wealthy team.

And such a historic No. 2 player.

Kobe and the Lakers have also been waiting for a long time. In the regular season, Kobe lost his No. 1 position because of Ryan.

Even family harmony is lost!

During that time, Vanessa kept saying, "Why can you take care of your work and your girlfriend at the same time, otherwise I would go to the dressing room to pick you up from get off work?"

So Kobe has been waiting for the playoffs and waiting to play against the Nuggets.

Waiting to fight with that lion again in a man's way!

The day after the Lakers defeated the Warriors to advance to the Western Conference Finals, at the end of training, many reporters found Kobe:

"Are you nervous about facing the Nuggets, who are currently undefeated in the playoffs?

I mean, during the regular season, the Nuggets just surpassed the Lakers.

Are you afraid the same thing will happen in the playoffs? "

Kobe laughed:

"Nervous? No, I'm excited!

I'm as excited as a wolf smelling blood!

I'm looking forward to playing against a guy like Ryan, and all I can think about is playing against him.

I'm not a kid like Chris Paul, I know how to deal with a real fight.

Come on Ryan, let the world see what the real playoffs look like! "

The excited look in Kobe's eyes proved that he wasn't lying.

When he was young, when all the rookies were afraid of Jordan, he was the only one who desperately wanted to compete with Jordan.

Now, when the world fears Lane.

It's still him, eager to fight Ryan.

Maybe this is his unique approach.

Do the Denver Nuggets still have opponents?

The answer is obvious.

As Kobe himself said, the real playoffs have just arrived.
