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

Chapter 193: Look, I’m the best fucking scorer in the league!

In the Western Conference Finals, the Nuggets had to set up a dozen temporary big screens outside the Pepsi Center.

Because many fans who couldn't buy tickets gathered in the square outside the arena to spend this critical night with the Nuggets.

Denver's law and order units are on the ropes, and God knows how free this city will be after winning this game.

The first two games were evenly matched, and the fans' emotions had accumulated to a certain point.

They are all waiting for the victory in this game to be released!

The huge commercial value of Ryan and Kobe has attracted much attention to this year's Battle of Tianwang Mountain, and the TV station will naturally not let go of this opportunity to attract crazy attention.

All TV stations started broadcasting the game hours in advance, with everything from expert analysis to off-field interviews.

Nike had been counting on Arjan to defeat Ryan, but now they discovered that Kobe was the real one!

Originally, Nike was already in despair in the basketball market. Last season, Ajan's humiliating round of the finals simply devastated Nike.

The combination of James + Reid lost to the Nuggets twice in the regular season this year, which made Nike lose expectations.

But Kobe's rise this season has given Nike hope of regaining its market share.

Originally, Kobe was changed to No. 24 and the Black Mamba character was added to Kobe in order to create a different impression between this Kobe and the troubled No. 8 Kobe.

Who would have thought that Kobe's record would actually be completely different?

If Kobe can interrupt the Nuggets' consecutive championships and regain the top spot, plus the commercial value buff that comes with Los Angeles.

Nike will surely see the light of day again!

By then, Kobe will surely become one of the most popular basketball players in the world again!

Therefore, Nike has been very focused on promoting this round of competition.

Not to mention Reebok, they are just waiting for Ryan to win three consecutive championships to bring the entire brand to the next level.

Therefore, there has been crazy hype for this round of competition.

With the two families using their full strength at the same time, it is difficult not to imagine how intense the battle at Tianwang Mountain would be.

The popularity of this game is so high that the fact that Ajan was completely destroyed in the finals last season has become famous!

Because there is a sentence in the promotional poster posted by Reebok on its official website:

"The legend who won 103 points in four games in the finals, what surprises will it bring us this time?"

At that time, James wanted to take his fans to Reebok and buy them for zero yuan.

Is this slogan speaking human language?

What are you talking about last season about this season?

A good man doesn’t have a girlfriend yet!

It was obviously a game that had nothing to do with me, but I was surprised that I was breastfed, so it was very embarrassing.

But who would have thought that before the game started, when ESPN reporters were interviewing fans outside the Pepsi Center, Ajan was breastfed again.

Although today's battle at Tianwangshan is the Nuggets' home court, some Los Angeles fans still came to Denver to cheer for the Purple and Gold Army.

ESPN reporters interviewed several very eye-catching fans wearing Lakers jerseys.

The reporter asked them if they were worried about the team losing such an important game.

Lakers fans replied: "Don't worry at all, Kobe is not LeBron who can lose 58 points in a game!"

Arjan: .

Ajan should actually be happy, at least this shows that his status in the hearts of the fans is still very high.

When I was pregnant, I was the first one to think of you, and that was considered a kind of popularity.

Just like when mentioning Jordan's defeated players, Ewing, Barkley, Malone and others usually come to mind.

How many people care about poor Drexler?

So, Ajan should be lucky.

At least he won't be as invisible as a glider.

At the game site, although the battle has not yet begun, the Nuggets fans have turned the stands into a sky-blue ocean.

They wear uniforms and cheer for the team in the stands.

The cheers of the fans passed through the tunnel and through the door of the locker room, making the players in the locker room stand on end.

Although the current total score of the series is 2-2, the Nuggets have lost two games in a row before.

Therefore, the pressure is still very high.

No one wants to suffer a reversal when the game is almost won, and the Nuggets certainly don't want to be tied 2-0 when leading 3-2.

Ryan also buried his head in silence for a long time, and Bird was wondering if Ryan was nervous.

But when the staff informed him that he could play, Ryan quickly raised his head and stood up, then turned to look at his teammates:

"Let's go, let the fans listen to the screams of our opponents!"

He never gets nervous!

Both sides went out to warm up, and ESPN's two commentators, Mike Breen and Doug Collins, were also warming up for the game.

Both sides also know that it will be Kobe and Ryan who decide the outcome today.

Mike Breen believes that Ryan, as the scoring leader this season, should have an advantage in the attack against Kobe.

But Jordan's first and last head coach in the NBA had a different view:

“Kobe is the strongest scorer in the league because he is the most technically complete active player.

What makes Ryan better than Kobe is just athletic ability.

Once the dry pull-up feels bad, Ryan will become passive.

And Kobe is the most competitive player besides Jordan.

In such a crucial game, Kobe will never show mercy.

Now he is the kind of player who will never give up when tough situations are needed!

Therefore, he will never pull his hips in Tianwang Mountain!

After all, Kobe is the only player who has scored 81 points in a single game, and Ryan has only scored 60 points once in his career.

Therefore, I am optimistic that Kobe will create greater miracles today. "

It's not that Doug Collins has any prejudice against Ryan, he just feels that Kobe is the player he has seen who most resembles Jordan.

With the characters of Jordan and Kobe, they would never allow themselves to lose to such a young man.

Soon, a reporter relayed Collins’ words to Ryan.

But Ryan didn't care: "I'm not here to play with the commentators on the sidelines. I'd better focus on Kobe!"

The game is about to begin. Both sides have no secrets today. They both know how much the other side weighs.

Therefore, neither party was coy and frank with each other as soon as they came up, without any cover-up!

Kobe opened the game with a step-back jumper and successfully scored from above the free throw line.

In the fifth game of the game, it was impossible for Kobe to easily pass the ball to Gasol.

Because when Kirilenko flanked Kobe, he would pay special attention to cutting off the passing route between Kobe and Gasol at the same time.

Old fish?

Monta Ellis would not let that bald man go even if he was beaten to death today.

Therefore, Kobe's best way is to defeat Artest one-on-one above the free throw line.

On the first goal of the game, the Lakers played very simply.

Gasol held the ball in the low post, and Kobe reached the mid-to-long distance 45° ring to catch the ball. After receiving the ball, he followed directly with a retreat, and then shot a jumper.

There are not so many twists and turns, just get the ball and do it.

However, the Lakers fans were not happy for long, as Ryan immediately returned the goal!

This time, Ryan held the ball directly and broke through inside. He knew that there were several people waiting for him inside the Lakers at any time, but Ryan still did it.

Sure enough, after Ryan entered the three-second zone, before he even got close to the basket, the penalty area was immediately crowded with people.

Ben couldn't open up any space, Bynum protected the basket, Kirilenko's three-point threat couldn't keep Gasol away, and Ariza followed the basketball and chased into the penalty area, which was full of people.

The restricted area was as crowded as the subway during the morning rush hour, and there was no space to attack.

But just when everyone was surrounding Ryan, Ryan suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball to the bottom of the basket, which was the least offensive threat!

The entire Lakers team's attention was attracted by Big Ben, thinking that he would directly strengthen under the basket.

But Ben also didn't attack, but passed the ball to Kirilenko, who was completely unmarked.

Although Kirilenko is indeed not good at three-pointers, he is not completely incapable of making them.

Therefore, Gasol, who originally shrank back, immediately pounced on Kirilenko, and the Lakers' defensive attention also shifted from base to Kirilenko.

However, Kirilenko still did not take action!

Although he is not good at three-pointers, he is very good at passing the ball.

AK47 pushed hard with both hands and quickly passed the ball to the top of the arc outside the three-point line. There, Ryan was just in position to catch the basketball and get a very large space to shoot!

Yes, everything before was just a feint.

Ryan deliberately broke through the paint and passed the ball to Ben, allowing the Lakers' defense to focus on the paint.

Then Ben passed to AK in the wide open space, causing the Lakers' defensive attention to shift to the wide open space.

As for Ryan, who is the most threatening, he immediately ran to the top of the arc outside the three-point line the moment Ben passed the ball. Although Ariza immediately chased after him, Ryan ran back too fast.

After a series of perfect moves, Ryan caught the ball and shot a three-pointer, and the basketball went hollow into the net!

Today, Ryan opened the meeting with a three-pointer without the ball to grind down the Lakers' defense!

The Lakers' one-man-three-team strategy leaves Ryan with very little offensive space.

You can't really just rely on top throws and pull-ups.

Since he couldn't hit in, Bird simply found another way and hit out!

On the outside, the Lakers have been using Ariza to defend Ryan one-on-one.

Then look for opportunities on the outside!

Don't forget, in the early days, Ryan was a scorer without the ball, and once set a record of "not scoring 39 points on a single dribble".

Now, it's just a matter of moving Ryan's off-ball offense to outside the three-point line.

Ryan and Kobe punched each other as soon as they came up, and this opening also proved that the two teams can only find ways to deal with the stars of both sides!

This will definitely be an exciting showdown!

In the second round, Kobe received a pass from Gasol one step inside the three-point line. After receiving the ball, he directly drifted towards Artest and made a mid-range shot.

Artest's seal was already very tight, but Kobe still hit the shot.

Barkley is right, Kobe is one of the best "tough shot scorers" in NBA history.

Once he feels smooth, he can grasp all kinds of balls that are not opportunities.

Moreover, it is held in various postures.

4 to 3, the Lakers overtook.

But everything seemed to be a repeat of what happened just now. After Kobe scored, Ryan responded immediately!

This time, it was Artest who provided Ryan with an off-ball screen.

Ryan took the screen and cut to the basket, making the Lakers' defense extremely nervous.

As a result, just after taking two steps, Ryan reversed and ran outside the three-point line.

As soon as Ariza got rid of Artest's cover, he followed Ryan and ran out again.

As a result, Kirilenko also stepped out and launched another off-ball pick-and-roll.

There was a pick-and-roll going in, but unexpectedly there was a pick-and-roll running back outside.

Ariza didn't react in time and ran into Kirilenko's arms.

Then, Ryan received a pass from Monta Ellis and hit a hollow three-pointer into the net!

Although Ryan doesn't have any talent fragments related to three-pointers, after all, his three-point attribute is 94.

Therefore, if the shot is open, the hit rate is still very impressive.

6 to 4, the two teams started alternating the lead.

Ryan also glanced at Kobe and raised his eyebrows at him, as if to say:

"It's your turn next!"

In the first quarter of the game, Kobe and Ryan were just going back and forth with each other.

Kobe's unreasonable catches and shots made Artest scold him.

Ryan's elusive movement also caused heavy damage to the Lakers' defense.

After the first quarter of the game, Kobe scored 12 points in a single quarter and Ryan scored 14 points in a single quarter!

The Lakers trailed 24-26.

The result of Ryan and Kobe's soaring points is equivalent to the final point difference between the two teams!

In just the first quarter, Kobe and Ryan set the tone for this game!

Whoever wins the duel between stars will also win the final game!

During the break, Barkley was so excited that he danced:

"Did you see it? I told you before, this game will be a fierce battle between Kobe and Ryan!"

But just when Barkley and all the fans thought Ryan and Kobe would be so wild throughout the game.

In the second quarter, both Bird and Jackson began to block each other's ace.

The Nuggets' first attack was when Ryan once again seized the opportunity and ran outside the three-point line to prepare to catch the ball.

Ariza rushed out in time, taking advantage of his speed and wingspan to intercept the basketball just like he did at the last moment of the last game.

Jackson has reminded Ariza to pay attention to Ryan's movement. And told him that when Ryan stands outside the three-point line, it is the best time to steal!

In the first quarter, Ryan suddenly increased the proportion of his shots from outside the three-point line, which really caught Ariza off guard.

But after the Lakers and Ariza reacted in the second quarter, it was not so easy to get opportunities from beyond the three-point line.

Ariza completed the steal and used his excellent athletic ability to get down quickly and dunk.

Although Ryan tried his best to pursue the defense, he was still a few centimeters away from completing the block.

As soon as the second quarter started, the Lakers evened the score.

It seems that Ryan's scoring performance is about to stop.

Can't the Lakers kick the Denver Miners down Tianwang Mountain in one go?

However, when the Lakers found a way to contain Ryan.

The Nuggets also found a way to contain Kobe!

In this round, Kobe, as always, used off-ball running and off-ball pick-and-rolls to get rid of Artest.

Holding the ball and directly dueling Artest, Artest's oppression is too strong.

But if you use off-ball movement and cover it, you can give Kobe a little space to shoot.

This is also the reason why Kobe's long-distance shots were suddenly so accurate today.

After Gasol saw Kobe dodge out of space, he fed the ball in tacit agreement again.

But as soon as the basketball flew halfway, it was blocked by Ryan's long arm. Ryan spread his fingers and got it firmly into his hand, and immediately made a steal!

The Lakers rely on the triangle offense to allow Kobe to get shooting space, so they only need to seal the connection between the point where the ball is released in the triangle offense and Kobe to prevent Kobe from catching the ball!

Although Fisher is a point guard, under the Lakers' triangle offensive system, Fisher can only rank fourth on the team in assists.

After Kobe, Gasol and Odom.

To put it bluntly, the two triangle offensive axes of Gasol and Odom are the two most important points for delivering ammunition to Kobe.

During Bird's break between quarters, he arranged for Ryan to personally block the passing route between Gasol and Kobe.

After all, Ariza is the Lakers' least offensive threat from the outside. It's not a big problem for Ryan to let him go occasionally.

Ryan also resolutely implemented the strategy and immediately returned a steal to the Lakers!

Kobe Bryant cursed secretly, Ryan really must retaliate for every injustice!

After completing the steal, Ryan immediately passed the ball to Monta Ellis who was rushing at the front.

Ellis quickly pushed to the penalty area, but instead of making a layup himself, he threw the ball diagonally behind and passed an alley-oop to Ryan who followed up.

Ryan caught the ball with one hand in the air, and no one can stop him now.

But maybe he felt that dunking like this was a bit boring, so after Ryan received the ball, he touched the back of his head in the air with his other hand, temporarily made a chic head-touching pose in the air, and dunked the ball in!

After a perfect counterattack, the Nuggets regained the lead!

The Zen master sighed, and he finally found a way to restrain Ryan a little.

Unexpectedly, Bird also found a way to contain Kobe!

So this round of the game is not only difficult for Ryan, but that bastard Bird is also very difficult!

As a result, Kobe and Ryan's scoring was slightly curbed in the second quarter.

Kobe scored 7 points in a single quarter and Ryan scored 8 points in a single quarter.

After halftime, Kobe had 19 points and Ryan had 22 points!

Although the momentum was not as fierce in the second quarter, the scores between the two were still terrifying.

The scores of the two teams also coincidentally coincided with the individual scoring gap between the two leading stars.

48 to 51, the Lakers are 3 points behind!

The showdown between Kobe and Ryan was extremely exciting, and it was difficult to widen the point difference between the Lakers and the Nuggets.

This battle at Tianwang Mountain is extremely hot, enough to burn the fans’ eyeballs.

but!

However, the two head coaches, Bird and Jackson, felt that the game was not hot enough!

The two decided to add firewood to the fire and continue to heat up the game in the second half!

So in the third quarter, these two guys who have won championships as players and coaches came up with new tricks.

On the Lakers side, there was a sudden change of formation in the third quarter.

Let Odom start the second half.

Although Bynum is silly, he is really tough in the paint and can grab rebounds very well.

Whether it is Gasol or Odom, the effect of playing the fifth position is not as good as that of Little Shark.

But Jackson needs another central axis of the triangle offense to feed Ryan the ball, and needs to arrange more passing points for Kobe to prevent the passing route from being easily intercepted!

In the previous second quarter, 7 of Kobe's 5 points were scored when Gasol and Odom were on the court at the same time. Therefore, the Zen Master increased Odom's playing time.

This change achieved excellent results as soon as it came up. Gasol continued to hold the ball in the low post and pretended to make a fake pass in the direction of Kobe, but actually gave the ball to Odom.

Kobe also immediately ran back, and Odom delivered the ball steadily, assisting Kobe and scoring an easy mid-range shot.

Odom's appearance not only benefits Kobe.

Even Gasol got a rare opportunity to attack the frame.

One round later, Kobe received a pass from Gasol at the free throw line.

But Kobe did not shoot. Instead, after attracting the defensive attention, he gave the ball to Odom, who was cutting along the baseline.

Ben and Kirilenko immediately turned towards Odangdang, but the moment the left-handed magician touched the ball, he pushed the ball to Gasol like a dragonfly!

At this time, Ben and Kirilenko could no longer react, so Gasol easily dunked and Odom used a beautiful one-handed pass to help the Lakers score again!

Odom is still talented. After all, he was the most versatile forward player before James.

Later, his fall also taught men all over the world a truth: stay away from women with big butts!

Zen Master's sudden change of formation in the third quarter caught the Nuggets off guard.

But Bird also gave the Lakers a surprise.

In a subsequent attack, Ryan reached outside the three-point line to catch the ball. Ariza, who was used to this rhythm, naturally connected immediately.

But before Ariza's inertia of moving forward disappeared, Ryan dribbled the ball directly and passed by Ariza easily!

In the third quarter, Ryan will start to combine without the ball and with the ball, making Ariza unable to figure out the rhythm of defending Ryan!

This simple acceleration forced Ariza to immediately change his center of gravity, causing Ariza to slip and fall to the ground.

The young small forward thought he had found a way to contain Ryan, but as soon as the third quarter came, he could only lie on the ground and watch helplessly as Ryan scored again!

After one round, Ariza did not chase so fiercely in order not to be passed by Ryan, and was always on guard against Ryan's sudden breakthrough.

The results of it?

Ryan just shot a three-pointer this time!

Ariza's attack was delayed by half a beat because he was not resolute enough.

And this is a fatal half-shot for defending Ryan.

Mike Brin raised his arms and shouted:

"Hit a three-pointer! Ryan led the team to take another lead!

He has already scored 27 points today, and the third quarter has just begun!

I don't know how much Kobe and Ryan will compete with each other today, but one thing is for sure.

These two guys will swing their fists at each other like two real fighters today without taking a step back! "

But just as Mike Brin finished shouting, Collison emphasized again:

"But in the end, Kobe will win this duel!"

Collins is extremely optimistic about Kobe. Even if Kobe's personal score is temporarily behind, Collison has never doubted that No. 24.

He may not be as good as Jordan, but he can't be inferior to Ryan!

In order to express that he was indeed not biased against Ryan, Collins continued to add:

"Ryan, in terms of offense and defense, he is the best.

But Kobe is the most terrifying scorer in the world! "

In the third quarter, Kobe did recover a bit in personal scoring.

Although Ryan changed his rhythm, his touch seemed to decline a bit at the end of the third quarter.

Kobe is still making shots that are not very good opportunities again and again.

The passing of Gasol and Odom really made Kobe's game easier.

But Artest would not give Kobe an open opportunity casually. In fact, Artest caught up with 90% of today's defenses in time.

But Kobe was able to hit shots again and again without Artest's interference.

As long as Artest doesn't hang directly on him, he can keep getting in!

After the third quarter, Kobe outscored Ryan in single quarter scoring for the first time, 14 to 13.

Another brilliant game.

The two scored a total of 33 to 35, with Kobe only trailing by 2 points for the time being, evenly matched.

However, because Gasol also scored some points in the third quarter, at the team level, the Lakers overtook the Nuggets by 1 point.

In the second quarter, both sides thought they could restrain the other's stars.

But in the third quarter, Kobe and Ryan's scoring became crazy again.

The firewood that Jackson and Bird added in the third quarter was equivalent to putting the two leading stars directly on the fire.

Because next, in the fourth quarter of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Lakers only led by 1 point, which meant that Ryan and Kobe had to fight each other more bloody!

On Bird's side, his restrictions on Kobe were really at the end of their rope.

He didn't know how else to restrain that bastard.

But the old Zen Master, this tycoon who wears nine rings as a coach, builds a dynasty and even picks up the daughter of the team owner, still has one more trick up his sleeve!

He keenly caught the decline in Ryan's shooting touch in the third quarter, so he told his players:

"Expand the scope of joint defense!"

The specific effect in the game was when Ryan once again broke through Ariza from outside the three-point line and prepared for a mid-range jumper.

Kobe rushed up without warning and interfered with Ryan's shooting!

Before, Kobe and the others would only help defend when Ryan went deep to the free throw line.

But now, Kobe actually jumped to such a long distance!

The so-called expansion of zone defense is to protect the gap between Ariza and the free throw line!

Sure enough, Ryan, whose touch was declining, missed a jump shot due to interference. The Lakers seemed to have found a way to contain Ryan again!

Odom grabbed the rebound, and the left-handed magician made a long pass from the backcourt and handed the ball to Ariza who acted as an arrow.

Ariza counterattacked with a powerful one-handed chop, as if he vented all the frustration on the defensive end.

The Lakers went ahead by 3 points!

Doug Collins said coldly: "The blue ocean in the Denver stands seems to be tumbling and motionless!"

One round later, Ryan handed the ball to Artest when Kobe came up to help defend.

Artest's performance in the playoffs so far has been very good, but after all, he is not a serious shooter.

And because he was exhausted from guarding Kobe today, his shooting touch was very bad.

The basketball hit the side of the rim hard, and Kobe also spat out trash talk at Ryan:

"Please, just rely on Ron for defense. You can't rely on Ron for offense, right?

Let him go, his annual income is not even one-tenth of yours!

Rely on your own performance to match your worth, Mr. Forbes! "

Ryan gritted his teeth, and then in the Lakers' attack, after Kobe caught the ball and was closely defended, he hit again with a fadeaway top shot!

Kobe's total score officially tied with Ryan, 35 to 35!

and!

The Lakers lead the Nuggets by 5 points!

This is the Lakers' biggest lead so far in this game!

Kobe's performance today was like a miracle. Even though Artest was almost in position throughout the game, he still scored high points.

But that's the scary thing about him.

The game that best reflects Kobe's scoring ability in history was not the 81 points against the Raptors, nor the 62 points in three quarters against the Mavericks.

But what many people will ignore is the 2009-point game against the Rockets in the second game of the 40 Western Conference Semifinals.

At first glance, 40 points is nothing compared to 81 points and 62 points.

But after watching the game, you know how magical Kobe was that night.

Every move he makes without the ball and every dribble he makes, Battier and Artest can keep up with him in time.

The Rockets' defensive details in that game were almost perfect. Battier and Artest tried their best to leave no gap for Kobe.

But Kobe can still score goals, and he can score those shots that are not opportunities at all.

Today's Kobe has undoubtedly entered that state!

Yasuko's defense is impeccable and he has been bitten to death, but he can still score goals again and again.

Bird immediately paused the game when he saw something was wrong, and the Nuggets fans also panicked.

What the hell... why does it feel like it's going to collapse in the fourth quarter?

Doug Collins is celebrating the New Year:

"Kobe's personal score is tied with Ryan, what can I say?

Ryan's lead is only temporary!

After returning from this timeout, Kobe's personal score will completely surpass Ryan.

The Lakers will maintain this lead until the end of the game!

Ryan is great. The gap between him and Kobe is not big, but there is a gap after all!

Maybe both of them can score more than 40 points in this crucial battle today.

But there is only one winner! "

Doug Collins felt proud at this time, "Look, I know football so well."

Because for now, everything is within his expectations.

And the Lakers do have the advantage.

Any fool can see that the Lakers are dismembering the Nuggets like a butcher, and the Nuggets have no better way to deal with Kobe.

It’s self-evident who has a greater chance of winning.

On the Nuggets bench, everyone was gasping for air tiredly.

Bird sat in the middle and picked up the tactical board and pen with a calm face.

He didn't look nervous at all, not even as nervous as the fans.

Bird really has no way to deal with Kobe, but there is still a way to let Ryan continue to score.

Now, Ryan's shooting sensation is declining, so he must find another way to deal with the Lakers.

No one knew what Bird had arranged, and Doug Collins even believed that Bird's timeout was in vain.

As a former head coach, Collins himself could not think of any way to contain Kobe.

Replace Ryan with guarding Kobe?

Forget it, Ryan's touch has declined now.

Asking him to defend Kobe again will only make Ryan's touch worse and accelerate the Nuggets' death.

The timeout ends and players from both sides return to the court.

Doug Collison shook his head: "Next, the Lakers will make the Pepsi Center completely despair!"

The fans at the scene were shouting the three letters "MVP" and cheering for Ryan.

Ryan also pointed to the stands and said he heard the fans' voices.

He also said that he will definitely keep the victory in Denver!

After getting Ryan's response, the cheers at the scene became even more intense.

But this fierce cheering also stimulated the nerves of the Lakers. They are now eager to break the illusion of Nuggets fans!

The Nuggets attacked, but what surprised people was that the person in charge of dispatching outside the three-point line was AK47!

Like a point guard, he dribbles the ball outside the three-point line and directs his teammates to move.

Ryan continued to run without the ball, and finally, after a long circle, got the opportunity to receive Kirilenko's pass.

However, Ryan’s position of catching the ball this time is no longer in the mid-to-long distance.

But near the right side of the three-second zone!

Before, in order to avoid the Lakers' zone defense.

Ryan tried his best to avoid that area in the first four games.

Today, the shooting range was extended to the three-point line.

But now, Bird lets Ryan catch the ball directly in the most dangerous place!

Sure enough, after Ryan received the basketball, Ariza chased him, and Kobe, who had been guarding the edge of the penalty area, immediately flanked him.

But before Ryan came up to attack, he used his terrifying first step to start up and entered the penalty area in two steps!

The ball was caught outside the three-point line because it was too far away from the basket, so it was difficult for Ryan to get to the basket under the Lakers' three-pointer.

Often before he reaches the basket, his breakthrough path is blocked.

But now, because he receives the ball in the mid-range and is very close to the basket, Ryan can go directly to the basket in one or two steps!

No matter how fast Ariza and Kobe attack, there is no time to stop them!

Although Kobe and Ariza both blocked, Gasol was also guarding the basket.

But Ryan still rushed to the basket and jumped up, raising the basketball in the air. Facing the blockage of Kobe and Ariza, Ryan took back the basketball, and then glided past the backboard and got out of the way of Gasol.

Finally, Ryan threw the ball back up with a big loop. In the three-man defense, the big loop behind the rebound hit the drawbar!

Ryan successfully scored in the seemingly impenetrable Lakers penalty area!

Decreased feel? Then make a mistake in the most dangerous place!

Zen Master cursed secretly, this goal was a perfect combination of Ryan's personal ability and Bird's coaching ability!

Bird's arrangement allowed Ryan to quickly enter the penalty area, catching the Lakers' contraction off guard.

And Kirilenko acted as the No. 1 position on the outside, and also opened up another inside player, Odom, allowing the Lakers to change from one-to-one three-way to one-to-two!

No matter how low Kirilenko's offensive threat is, Odom can't just ignore him, right?

So now, only Kobe and Gasol can participate in the zone defense in the Lakers penalty area!

This greatly reduces the difficulty for Ryan to attack the frame!

Of course, even so, it's not easy to attack the frame.

With a ball like the one just now blocked by Ariza, Kobe and Gasol, it would be impossible for most players to score successfully.

But for Ryan, not only can he score goals in that situation, but he can also score goals with guaranteed efficiency!

Bird relied on Ryan's personal ability to make his tactics successful.

And Ryan relied on Bird's tactical arrangements to completely unleash his personal abilities!

Indeed, the Nuggets have no way to restrict Kobe anymore.

Then, let Ryan and Kobe decide the victory by scoring!

After Ryan scored, his personal score once again surpassed Kobe's, reaching 37 points.

Moreover, the Nuggets are only 3 points behind!

The Lakers counterattacked. As soon as Odom got the basketball and was about to look at Kobe's position, Kirilenko cut him off!

After all, the left-handed magician is too tall, so his ball protection cannot reach the level of a real point guard.

After the basketball was stolen, Kirilenko continued to control the ball through half court and continued to act as the number one position, pinning Odom to the outside!

Although Kirilenko is also tall, he is not as good at dribbling as a real defender.

But Odom's ability to steal with the ball is not that strong, so Kirilenko can dribble calmly without worrying about stealing.

The Nuggets followed suit. Ryan cut to the left side of the mid-range to receive the ball. Even though Kobe Ariza knew that Ryan might break through, he had to surround him.

Because letting Ryan catch the ball and shoot from that position is the same as directly sending points.

Sure enough, Ryan broke through directly before the attack came up.

But this time, Gasol blocked it in advance!

The Spaniard's basketball IQ is indeed high. In just the second round after the Nuggets changed their strategy, he saw through the opponent's mind and appeared in the most correct defensive position.

Ryan originally wanted to jump up and turn around in the air to pass Gasol, but there was really not enough space. Ryan just turned sideways and hit Gasol hard.

Gasol also reached out and pulled Ryan.

But in the fierce confrontation, with his center of gravity already swaying, Ryan sent the ball to the basket, and the basketball still hit the net!

Excellent layup feel can not only increase the success rate of pull-up layups, but also increase the success rate of layups in confrontations!

Although Gasol blocked the basket in time, he still couldn't stop Ryan!

Without the protection of Odom and the timely contraction before the basketball takes off, the Lakers would not be able to stop Ryan from attacking the frame!

Now, Ryan can score without relying on mid- to long-range touch!

The ball was scored, the whistle sounded, the referee fouled Gasol, and Ryan got a chance to hit a three-pointer!

The whole audience burst into fierce cheers. When everyone was at their most desperate, Ryan stood up in time again!

The Zen master cursed loudly and angrily threw the tactical manual to the ground.

In order to contain Ryan, he had already thought of everything he could and used all possible methods.

But Ryan, this bastard, how can we completely contain him?

Ryan stood on the free throw line and took a few dribbles to prepare for the shot.

But he suddenly remembered something, so he stopped taking free throws, turned to look at the technical table on the sideline, and pointed at Doug Collins, who had been making sarcastic remarks all night:

"Hey Doug! Help me calculate the scores at the technical desk and remember them for me!

Next, my score will be the first to reach 40, surpassing Kobe again, and the team's score will also be tied.

Take these points and remember, I'm the best fucking scorer in the league! "

After that, Ryan made a free throw.

40 points in a single game, leading the team to tie the score.

Ryan hasn't been pressed to death yet!

Doug Collins was stunned for a moment. He had never seen or commented on a player who talked trash in his life!

What made him even more stunned was that Ryan was not killed when the situation was unfavorable, but became angry again!

Bird watched as his strategy allowed Ryan to regain his scoring energy, and he sat on the bench with peace of mind.

Judging from Zen Master Naoden's reaction just now when he angrily smashed the tactical manual, he must have been unable to do anything to Ryan.

So now, neither side can do anything about each other's star player.

Is there any need to talk about the result?

One attack the frame and one mid-range shot.

No matter how abnormal the efficiency of Kobe's COSCO shot is, it cannot be higher than Ryan's.

The lion king will tear the poisonous snake in half!

The fourth quarter has just begun and Ryan has already scored 40 points.

By the time the game was over, Bird believed it.

Ryan would give the world an incredible number!
