Chapter 42 042: Coach: With a player like Ryan, do I need to keep a low profile?

The taciturn Andre Miller got a resounding new nickname on the first day he came to the Nuggets:

Double-knife turkey!

Miller is very speechless, I can't lift a pair of knives, and I don't look like a turkey.

Why did you get such a stupid nickname!

It doesn't matter why. Anyway, the nickname Ryan gave him is very popular among his teammates.

Everyone calls him that now.

However, Miller didn't bother to refute anything.

After all, he has always been a man of few words.

Not only is he taciturn off the court, he is also extremely low-key on the court.

In the All-Star Rookie Game, when faced with empty baskets, he actually only ended with civilian layups, which shows how simple he is.

When it comes to dunking, Miller is the reverse of Curry.

One is unable to buckle but hard to buckle, the other is capable of buckling but hard to buckle.

It can only be said that except for victory, other things are irrelevant to Miller.

Both are 2 points. What is the difference between a dunk and a layup?

nickname?Then it doesn't matter.

So if teammates like it.
A double-knife turkey is a double-knife turkey. It doesn't affect winning anyway.

On the contrary, it can also enhance the relationship between teammates, which is also good for the record.

And the guy who gave Miller his nickname seemed quite to his liking!
It is not difficult to tell what kind of player Miller is from his previous nickname "Little Basic Skills".

Like Duncan, he has a very simple style of play.

In addition to having excellent post-up skills and a fat hip comparable to Kardashian, Miller is essentially a traditional point guard with mediocre playing style.

He prefers to play with his brain rather than his talent.

And Miller discovered that Ryan is actually a player who likes to play with his brain.

When the Collegiate Team defeated Dream Five last year, Miller was the starting point guard.

He knows very well that Ryan is not the kind of reckless man who only relies on his body. Of course, Ryan's physical fitness is top-notch, but what really makes him stand out is his off-ball movement and smart defensive choices like a top classical shooting guard. .

That's the kind of player Miller likes to work with.

In fact, a large part of the reason why he chose to join the Nuggets was because of Ryan.

Although Miller has never been a star player, he is a player who really wants to win.

It's a pity that in the first four years of his career, he spent three years with the Cavaliers and one year with the Clippers.

I almost don’t know how to write the word “win” in English.

After losing for four whole years, his desire to win was completely unsatisfied.

How can a grown man survive if his desires cannot be satisfied for four years?
Therefore, Miller found Ryan just to satisfy his desires!
Although the Nuggets were a bad team before, they now have Ryan and their lineup has almost completely changed.

Next season I should be able to experience the feeling of winning!
It was precisely because he recognized Ryan from the bottom of his heart that Miller readily accepted the nickname given to him by Ryan.

After the training camp started, the team's atmosphere was still very good.

Ryan has a strong ability to integrate into the environment, and he has become familiar with his teammates in just a few days.

Moreover, there was no bloody plot like "teammates looked down on the rookie, and then were defeated by Ryan".

Not only did his teammates not look down on Ryan, but they all respected him.

After all, Ryan's arrival has directly raised the attention of everyone on the team to a higher level.Denver, a place where the weather is cold and the birds don't poop, suddenly became hot.

The reporters waiting for interviews and filming at the entrance of the training hall every day have crossed the threshold.

This gives the Nuggets players the feeling of playing in Los Angeles and New York.

Exposure means commercial value.

So you say, can the Nuggets players not like Ryan?

Only a fool would go against Ryan.

Not everyone is as good as Ricky Davis and thinks that the Cavaliers went to great lengths to draft the No. [-] pick to assist him.

Everyone on the Nuggets knows very well what Ryan means to Denver and the Nuggets, so they all treat Ryan respectfully.

Nene: "What are you talking about? Are you all interested in the commercial value and popularity brought by Ryan? No!

This is not because I have taken a fancy to Ryan's kindness, or I am impressed by Ryan's strong personal charm! "

With the traffic brought by Ryan, everyone's popularity has skyrocketed.

On the second day of training camp, Wash Leonard, the team’s scheduled starting shooting guard for next season, announced very excitedly:
"Hey guys, I'm going to be interviewed by a foreign reporter!"

The "foreign reporters" he refers to are of course CCTV reporters.

As a second-round pick in 94, Wash Leonard is not well-known abroad, but he is definitely unknown in North America.

But Ryan's arrival gave him the feeling of becoming an international superstar.

This is normal. The stinky Rockets in the original history were very popular among Chinese fans.

Leonard is a person who knows how to repay a favor, so he decided to
I introduced all the mystery fruit supermarkets in Denver to Ryan, and thoughtfully marked the locations and prices on the map!

He did not forget to tell Ryan righteously: "These are the biggest treasures in my life!"

Ryan is convinced, can you guys be healthier?
In any case, the team atmosphere is quite enjoyable.

Everyone respects Ryan, and Ryan gets along well with his teammates.

Of course, just having a pleasant atmosphere is not enough.

If a team wants to have combat effectiveness, in addition to tacit understanding and atmosphere, it also needs the support of a rigorous tactical system.

While reporters were still paying attention to Ryan, Kiki Vandeweghe made another signing.

They poached Spurs assistant Mike Budenholzer and gave him the position of chief assistant.

Assists the team's head coach Jeff Bzdelik and is in charge of the offense.

Current Nuggets coach Bzdelik is a very talented coach on the defensive end.

The Rockets that Harden almost overthrew the Universe back then were one of the few defensive teams among the teams coached by D'Antoni.

And this is all thanks to the training of Bzdelik, who was the Rockets' defensive coach at the time.However, Bzdelik's offensive ability is not good, but Ryan's style of play, which is more classical shooting guard, needs the support of sufficiently sophisticated positional offensive tactics.

Therefore, Vandeweghe found Budenholzer, a positional offensive expert.

Budenholzer would later lead the Hawks to the "Eastern Spurs" and the Bucks to the championship.

Although this man will become a championship coach in the future, his on-the-spot command ability is extremely poor.

When people were laughing at Coach Lu who only knew how to call a timeout to give Arjan a rest, Budenholzer couldn't even call a timeout!
When the Bucks were defeated in 23, Budenholzer sat there and watched many critical moments without calling a timeout.

The main thing is a VIP seat on the sidelines playing with mobile phones.

What does it have to do with my head coach if the players play?

But I have to admit that Budenholzer is very good at drawing tactics.

He is the kind of coach who is poor in on-the-spot command, but can arrange the tactics properly before the game and build a complete offensive system.

Especially team-based offensive tactics, which is his specialty.The Hawks were dubbed the "Eastern Spurs" by him because the Hawks' style of play is as team-oriented and smooth as the Spurs.

Neither Budenholzer nor Bzdelik can be considered top coaches, but together they will at least not have major flaws on both offense and defense.

By the time of joint training, the team's offense was also running smoothly.

Ryan, Nene, Miller, just the backcourt, frontcourt and center.

These three central axes also have extremely high golf quotients.

With these three central axes, you can put two fools on it and they will know how to play.

And with a point guard like Miller who has top-notch intelligence to control the court, and a pick-and-roll expert like Nene who moves smartly, Ryan also feels that it is particularly easy for him to score.

On the defensive end, head coach Bzdelik personally built the system.

他看着2米03的莱恩,新签下的2米03的詹姆斯.波西和2米11的内内,有了一个一直想试验但没有尝试过的大胆想法。

This striker is generally short, but it is more maneuverable than F1.

That trick... maybe, you can try it!

The two coaches began to drastically change the Nuggets that couldn't even make the playoffs last season.

Seeing the extremely high degree of adaptation between Ryan and his teammates in the offensive and defensive system, both coaches were ecstatic and full of confidence in the new season.

In the preseason, the Nuggets achieved a record of 5 wins and 2 losses.

Although they were playing against weak teams, and because players were still being inspected, everyone's playing time was cut very thin.

But the two coaches can see that the system they prepared is suitable enough for the team and is good enough.

Therefore, the confident Bzdelik told the media directly in an interview before the start of the new season:

"Adapting to the NBA? Ryan doesn't need to adapt. He is fully prepared. He might be able to score 25 points in the first game! Moreover, he is definitely capable of leading the team to victory in his first game!"

During the previous summer league, boss Kroenke would worry about Ryan's poor performance before the game.

But now, the team's head coach has no such worries at all.

He knows better than anyone else what level Ryan is, and he has no doubts about Ryan's abilities!

With a player like Ryan, do I need to keep a low profile?

The media were shocked. Is Bzdelik so crazy?

25 points is not a low score in this era.

In the original 03-04 season, McGrady was the only one in the league who averaged more than 25 points per game.

This shows how precious 25 points is in this era.

Reporters all felt that Bzdelik was bragging about not drafting. Ryan averaged just over 10 points per game in the preseason.Although there is a factor of not having much playing time, even if Ryan is given playing time, it is not easy to get 25.

Besides, the Nuggets’ opponent in the opening game.
But the Timberwolves have a defensive beast like Garnett!
Moreover, after the Timberwolves added Cassel and Madman this summer, they are one of the favorites to win the championship in the new season!

Ryan is indeed very strong. If the Nuggets were playing a mid-level team in the opening game, everyone might not think Bzdelik was too crazy.

But scoring 25 points against a defensive expert like Garnett and a championship favorite like the Timberwolves?
Coach Bzdelik, it’s okay to lie to your buddies, but don’t lie to yourself!
Nike seized the opportunity and deliberately used media hype to amplify the matter and further increase the traffic of the matter.

For a while, the whole country was talking about "Ryan will score 25 points on Garnett in his first game."

Nike is not heating up Ryan for no reason, but is putting Ryan on the stove to bake!
As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. If Ryan can't score 25 points by then, his debut will be a complete failure!

The hotter this matter becomes, the harder Ryan will fall!

Therefore, Nike would rather spend its own money to help Ryan promote it.It's like Eason Chan knew that he could drive five hundred people by making movies. Not only did he not get paid for the movie, but he also prepared his own truck!
In Nike's view, Ryan was 15-for-15 in the summer league. It was Stoudemire, a loser who had no sense of defense, who kept throwing open shots for Ryan. It was Jacobson, a loser who couldn't defend at all.

But the Wolf King, who can fill the entire half, will give Ryan a chance to shoot open shots?
Ryan will be prevented from autism!

As long as Ryan rolls over, it will bring out the power of James!

The Wolf King was equally excited as the whole world was talking about Ryan's debut.

Ryan is a traffic aggregation, and as long as he brutally abuses Ryan in the opening game, he can easily steal all the traffic!
This season, Hardte is determined to defeat another No. 21!
Ryan is now not a rival in Garnett's eyes, but a big fat sheep sent into the wolf's mouth!

Although the Wolf King asked Ryan to sign an autograph for him before, it was only a business behavior required by AND1 after all, and it did not mean that the Wolf King liked Ryan that much.

At this time, both Nike and the Wolves thought the Nuggets were giving away their lives. Only Bzdelik knew.
Ryan's excellence has far exceeded people's expectations!

You are allowed to underestimate Ryan, because you don't know how well this team's offensive and defensive system matches Ryan!
When Ryan was controversial, Bzdelik spoke again in a routine interview after media training:

"Crazy? I think I'm too low-key!"

When you can coach a player as good as Ryan, you will be crazier than me!
With such a good player, why should I be submissive? "

Understand, Bzdelik, a guy who only became the head coach last season, has really lost enough.After all, the Nuggets won less than 20 games last season.

Seeing the team getting stronger this season, he really doesn't want to be his grandson anymore and can't wait to feel proud!
Bzdelik is now like a nouveau riche who has just received demolition money and is eager to let the world know how rich he is now.

Ryan looked at the extremely arrogant head coach and sighed.

Hey, your behavior style is very inconsistent with my low-key personality.

Can you be more reserved like me?
When Ryan was interviewed by reporters, he was very low-key:
"Coach Bzdelik is too generous. I won't score many points in my debut."

The reporters smiled. Did Ryan start looking for the stairs ahead of time?Hahahaha, he must hate Bzdelik’s big mouth!
While the reporters were gloating about the misfortune, Ryan added:
"I won't score too many points, definitely not more than 50 points."

After speaking, looking at the frustrated expressions of the reporters, Ryan turned around and left with satisfaction.

Low key?

With such strength, you still keep a low profile!

The Timberwolves will indeed be difficult, but Ryan believes that as long as he can practice all the things he practiced in the training camp, as long as he can practice all the tactics of Bzdelik and Budenholzer
In the first game of the new season, let’s take action on the double-team forwards from last season!
Timberwolves?A strong team indeed.

But after the opening game, you will find out
The Nuggets are now a strong team and don't need to be afraid of any opponents!
