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

Chapter 75: Ryan’s popularity soars with his tough performance!Is the winner a super rookie or an MVP candidate?

Ryan ran into the basket from outside the three-point line to complete the tip-in, making him the first rookie player to score a triple-double in his first playoff debut after Magic!

Although before the series started, everyone knew that Ryan's performance would not be too bad.

But sure enough, as "Sports Illustrated" said: "LeBron and Ryan are the most unpredictable!"

No one could have imagined that Ryan would be able to post a triple-double in his first playoff game.

After all, Ryan has never had a triple-double during the regular season and averages less than 3 assists per game.

Everyone’s expectations for Ryan were already high enough, but Ryan’s actual achievements were even higher!

Phillip Sanders saw that Ryan could rush in at such a fast speed to complete the make-up dunk, and his whole body was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

The make-up dunk just now was like a microcosm of Ryan's entire game - seemingly impossible things were turned into reality by Ryan!
The Timberwolves' morale had already hit rock bottom, so in the last less than 2 minutes, they ultimately failed to erase the 10-point difference.

88 to 81, the Timberwolves finally lost the first game of the series at home by 7 points, allowing the eighth in the Western Conference to steal a home court!
At the end of the game, the center of the target seemed to have turned into an ice cellar, and the air was biting.

The entire venue was enveloped in a sad atmosphere. At this silent moment, the audience's mood was difficult to describe in words. They felt that their hearts had been torn into pieces.

For seven seasons, seven whole seasons, the Timberwolves have been in the first round!

This time, we finally won the first place in the Western Conference. Is it still impossible to escape the fate of being eliminated in the first round? ?
The audience now seems to be in a dark fog, unable to see the future of the team.

Of course, Timberwolves fans can comfort themselves: "This is just the first game, and the series must be won by winning four games!"

It does take four games to win the series, so after the game, Ryan was not particularly excited.

After all, Ryan doesn't have the habit of popping champagne at halftime.

But the reporters didn’t give Ryan the chance to keep a low profile at all:

"Ryan, becoming the youngest player in history to score a triple-double in the playoffs, is that what you planned today?"

Ryan himself was stunned for a moment. Why did he become the "youngest" gentleman again?

It turns out that similar records like this can only be done by hand, right?

Ryan waved his hand:
"Before the game started, I didn't even notice there was such a record. I just wanted to win, and I didn't think about anything else before the game.

Personal records are nothing but accessories to victory. "

Ryan is as low-key as ever, but Denver fans are going crazy.

At this time, Ryan has been completely ignored in major basketball forums.

"Ryan is so strong! In his rookie season, he got a triple-double in his debut in the playoffs! Many rookies can't even make it to the playoffs, not to mention triple-doubles in the playoffs! What kind of stabbing matchup? I'm talking about Bosh!"

"It's hard to imagine that someone could take eighth place in the division to this level. The Timberwolves don't look like the first team at all in front of the Nuggets."

"The Miracle of the Rockies will happen again!"

It’s useless no matter how low-key Ryan is, now the entire basketball world is going crazy because of him!
Even in the studio where other games were broadcast, people were talking about Ryan's triple-double and his team defeating the No. [-] player in the Western Conference.

Ryan truly understood what it means to "want to be low-key but not powerful enough".

At this time, as Ryan's good brothers, Anthony and Wade will always help Ryan push him hard from behind when he encounters such a beautiful thing.

韦德那边，季后赛首秀拿下了 12分4个篮板7个助攻4次失误，全场18中5，命中率27.8%。

Anthony did score 19 points, but 17 of 6, a 35.3% shooting rate, was really eye-catching.

Ryan's extremely efficient 25 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists were simply refreshing and refined in front of them!

James said, stop pushing now, I am the one who is in pain!

Ryan's debut performance was astonishing. Most rookies' general statistics and performance in the playoffs for the first time were worse than those in the regular season.

Only Ryan and Milicic did not retreat but advanced.

Ryan had a triple-double in the playoffs that had never been seen in the regular season, and Milicic, who averaged 4.7 minutes per game in the regular season, set a new record by playing a full 5 minutes in his first playoff game!

As expected of being the No. 03 pick and No. [-] pick, he is always ahead of all the rookies in the [-] class!
The Nuggets players were incomparable glory, while the Timberwolves players left the game in embarrassment at their home court.

The Madman is the most depressed today because he has also joined the family of people who were "defended by Ryan and were allowed to score single digits in a single game".

When he walked into the player tunnel, he was already depressed and found that everyone was hiding away from him!
Especially Garnett, the madman found that Garnett looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.

Crazy people are confused. Are people who score in single digits so unpopular?I don’t want to either!

This is not about single-digit scoring, it's just that no one wants to get a flavorful Shark O'Neal experience card.

Just like hard-working artistic female stars generally don't suffer from constipation, the stars who play opposite Ryan generally have better gastrointestinal conditions.

The madman is about to cry, who can be more embarrassed than me!

You just lost your dignity in front of outsiders, and I have completely lost my dignity in front of my teammates!
After the game, Ryan was the focus of discussion at the press conferences held by both the Timberwolves and the Nuggets.

On the Timberwolves side, Garnett was annoyed by questions about Ryan.

"Coach, is Ryan the most capable rookie player you have ever seen?"

"Kevin, does defending Ryan make you feel desperate?"

"Is it possible for you to contain Ryan in your next game?"

"boom!"

Garnett slammed the table hard, anger written on his face.

"There's no way I'm being eliminated by a rookie! This is the last game they can win in this series!"

After saying that, Garnett left the field angrily.When I left, I didn't forget to throw the chair to the ground.

All the reporters were stunned for a moment. At the post-match press conference, few stars would lose such a temper.

It seemed that Garnett was really angry.

For an MVP candidate to be forced into this situation by a rookie, one can understand Garnett's mood at this time.

To be honest, it would have been good if Garnett didn't miss the press conference for no reason after losing.

And when an MVP-level athlete is really angry, how much power can he unleash?

So the next day, in addition to Ryan's triple-double performance in his debut.

Garnett's words, "This is the last game they can win in this series," also made headlines in major newspapers.

On the TNT program, when Barkley was predicting in a big way that Ryan would complete Black Eight in a few games, Kenny Smith started to pour cold water on him with this sentence:
"Charles, you have been retired for so long that you seem to have forgotten how terrifying the power of a superstar is.

Kevin Garnett obviously gave Ryan an ultimatum yesterday. Next, what we should look forward to is a brilliant performance from him as an MVP candidate! "

A dazzling performance from an MVP candidate, which is indeed exciting to look forward to.

Ryan is very strong, but everyone knows that Garnett is not an ordinary person.

How far could a completely angry Garnett push the series?
no one knows.

The only thing people know is that this series will definitely be exciting!

Sure enough, in the second game of the series, the Timberwolves successfully pulled back a victory!
Kevin Garnett took 30 crazy shots today and scored 43.3 points with a 30% shooting rate.

As a fourth position, the efficiency is a bit low.But if you regard him as a pure midfielder, he seems to be qualified.

In addition, Garnett still grabbed 20 rebounds and posted a terrifying stat of 30+20!
but.
The biggest contributor to the Timberwolves' victory today is not Garnett, but Cassell, who is known as the "beautiful man across the galaxy"!
Cassell was like a god today. His pull-up mid-range shots after the pick-and-roll and catch-and-catch three-point shots were both ridiculously accurate. Social Miller's face couldn't even catch them.

全场 24中16拿下了40分！其中，三分球6投5中！
Cassel's explosion directly changed the balance of victory.

After the game, Garnett hugged Cassel's forehead and kissed him crazily!A series of ethical stories between beasts and beasts were staged for the fans at the Target Center!
Elsewhere, it was difficult to reconcile, and the fans at Target Center felt it was difficult to express their opinions.But it is true that it is not difficult to understand why Garnett is so excited.If it weren't for Cassell's 40 points, the Timberwolves would probably have to kneel down today.

Because even if Cassell scored 40 points, the Timberwolves only beat the Nuggets by 8 points.

Today, except for Garnett and Cassell, there is basically no one on the Timberwolves team who can score.

The Madman actually scored 11 points, breaking through the embarrassment of not breaking double figures.But with 11 points on 2-for-11, it’s better not to take action!

Except for the three-headed monster, the Timberwolves did not have anyone score in double figures.

On the Nuggets side, Ryan scored 26 points today, but his efficiency was not as good as in the previous game. This was mainly due to the increase in forced attacks and shots against the defense.

Because today, Posey was not that accurate and only scored 11 points, so Garnett can boldly let Posey go to deal with Ryan when defending.

100 to 92, the Timberwolves regained a victory at home.

After this game, many media turned to the Timberwolves.

Garnett's nickname of "Keeping His Word" also began to spread in the world.

For a time, Garnett's popularity soared.If you say you can win, then win. If you say let the opponent win the last game, then win the last game. Real man!
But as we all know, the playoffs are a place where things get slapped in the face at the speed of light.

Just when the Timberwolves were preparing to continue their efforts, and just when the Minneapolis fans were still cheering for joy, in the series G3, they were buried in the violent snowstorm in Denver!

In G3 of the series, Posey was resurrected again, and the small cooperation between Ryan and Posey continued to torment the Timberwolves' defense.

Garnett scored 24 points today and Cassel scored 25 points.But other than that, everyone else was completely locked in by the Nuggets' defense!

The Madman still couldn't find the target under Ryan's defense. Today, he shot 11 of 4, which was absolutely tragic.

Szczerbiak made 12 of 4, beating the madman!
The two made a combined 23 of 8 today!

At first glance, these two people look very cheating, but if you think about it from another perspective, the Timberwolves are equivalent to having Kobe Bryant for once today!
On the other hand, for the Nuggets, Ryan scored 24 points, Posey had 19 points, Miller had 14 points, Nene had 12 points, and Boykins had 10 points, and everyone was very efficient.

Ryan's destruction of the Timberwolves' defense gave everyone a chance.His "gravity" caused the Timberwolves' defense to completely collapse!

Under this performance, the Nuggets actually won the third game with a huge advantage of 107 to 86!
This is definitely a result that everyone expected. In the previous two games, although both sides won and lost, the points difference was still in single digits.

But today, the Nuggets actually won the first place in the Western Conference by a full 21 points!
This game shocked the entire basketball world. Don't say that Madman and Szczerbiak were holding back. After all, the reason for them is not just because of their talent, but because the Nuggets' defense is good enough!

Especially Ryan's defense against the Madman. Even if he defended the Madman once or twice, Ryan prevented the Madman from finding the basket for three consecutive games!
The eighth in the Western Conference can beat the first in the Western Conference by 21 points, and Ryan also locked up the Madman continuously.

Everyone is even speculating whether Ryan will become the first outside player after Moncrief to get more than one DPOY!
That's right, even before he got the first one, the media was already talking about whether Ryan could get the second one!

Because judging from Ryan's current performance, it is only a matter of time before he gets DPOY, and it will definitely not happen!

And in this game, because of its own offensive threat, it activated the whole team and won the first place in the Western Conference by so many points.

It is not difficult to imagine how much Ryan's status in the eyes of fans and media has increased!
After only three games in the playoffs, Ryan's position is completely different from that in the regular season!

How hot Ryan is, how miserable Garnett is at this moment.

His phrase "This is the last game they can win in this series" has become another classic slap-in-the-face quote in the playoffs after McGrady last season.

Garnett was so embarrassed at the post-game press conference that he almost didn't want to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.

Criticisms about Garnett have also begun to increase. Some media said that when the teammates around Garnett can't score 40 points, he can't even win a game.

After all, Cassell's 25 points in this game cannot be considered small.As a result, the Timberwolves lost so miserably.

MVP candidate is once again pushed to the forefront by a rookie!

All of this allowed Garnett's anger to accumulate little by little.

After that, in G4, Garnett finally showed his strength, scoring 33 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, which was a terrifying figure that filled up the data sheet!
This is the "superstar performance" that people are looking forward to.

Ryan's mid-range shooting was a little cold today, and he only scored 19 points.

The total score was 2-2, but Timberwolves fans and Garnett were not happy at all.

After all, they were forced into the battle of Tianwang Mountain by the Eighth West!

However, as long as Tianwang Mountain can be captured, the reputation and situation can be reversed!

In the crucial battle of Tianwangshan, when everyone thought that KG, the superstar, would continuously show strong performance to solve the game, he just weakened at this time!

In this battle, KG made 18 of 8 shots and only scored 44.4 points with a 19% shooting rate.

And Ryan was just tough today!
He made 21 of 13 shots, no three-pointers, and only 2 free throws. He scored 61.9 points with a 28% shooting rate, sweeping away the previous haze!

Among them, there was a goal in the third quarter. When Ryan's sneakers were stepped on, he immediately tried to retreat with his bare feet and sneakers.The most outrageous thing is that he grabbed a defensive rebound while barefoot, and then immediately passed the ball to Miller, who pushed for a counterattack!
This goal is considered to be a reflection of Ryan's strong fighting spirit. Even if his sneakers are stepped on, he will continue to fight!
On the other hand, KG, apart from banging his boobs and doing push-ups, you can't tell how hard he is today!
In the crucial Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the stark contrast between the two today was simply a public execution of Garnett!

Theron is not surprised at all.

When you need it most, Ryan is always there to solve the urgent problem!
As soon as this game was over, Ryan's reputation was completely unparalleled!

Think about it, in a key battle, the superstar was weak, but a rookie won the game with a strong performance.The most important thing is that this is Garnett's home court!
There simply couldn’t be a more brilliant playoff performance than this!

It is not difficult to imagine the verbal abuse Garnett encountered at the press conference:
"Kevin, if Ryan has three All-Star teammates around him, is he also qualified to compete for MVP?"

"When Ryan became the All-Star vote king, you seemed to be quite critical of it, thinking that Ryan took a huge dividend from the Chinese market population, which was unfair to many people.

As of now, do you still think Ryan is not worthy of being the All-Star vote winner? "

Faced with this problem, Garnett went berserk again:
"Of course, admit it, just because he and Yao have yellow skin, our local players were inexplicably deprived of two All-Star seats!

It is precisely because he has yellow skin that you pay so much attention to him, even though he has not won this series yet!

The series isn't over yet, don't act like Ryan has already won!
After the tiebreaker is over, the Timberwolves will be the team that enters the Western Conference semifinals! "

Garnett went completely berserk and roared, causing the noisy press conference to become silent.

Although Garnett's words are not discriminatory.

But the meaning is that Ryan relied on his skin to get to where he is today.

This remains a very sensitive topic.

Two minutes later, Ryan was in the press conference hall listening to reporters relaying Garnett's words.

Ryan was very angry. When you lost, you didn’t know why?Has the offensive efficiency increased after so many years? How much salary space does your contract take up?

Ryan had never been angry with Garnett before. Even though the guy talked a lot of trash during the game, Ryan always remained calm.

But what Garnett said after losing at Tianwangshan today was so rude that Ryan had to humbly compete with him!

“He actually said that I achieved my current achievements because I am of yellow race and because of the Chinese market. I was really surprised.

Because the only thing my skin color does in this industry is stop me!
In high school, when Cameron and I had an undefeated record together, those so-called elite college basketball schools actually wanted me to come on the bench!Just because I am yellow!
In college, when I led my team to win the NCAA championship with an undefeated record, there were actually media who thought LeBron should be the No. [-] pick!Just because I am yellow!
In the summer league and preseason, when I had performed well enough, many people actually thought that I would "reveal my true colors" in the regular season just because I am a yellow!

Being a yellow man is not the reason for my success, but the reason why they never regard me as number one!
But now, when I say I am ranked second among rookies, no one can be ranked in front of me!
Because I used my absolute strength to completely defeat everyone's natural stereotypes and underestimates!
Kevin, you're next!I will use my strength to help you correct this stinky problem!

After the tiebreaker, the only team to advance to the Western Conference semifinals is the Timberwolves?

Who the hell told you there was a tiebreaker!
In Game [-] in Denver, we will make the miracle happen again! "

After speaking domineeringly, Ryan stood up and left.

The reporters were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became excited!
It seems that the next G6 will be a traffic battle with no shortage of topics and news!

Will the super rookie win, or will the MVP save face?

Denver will be in full swing next time!
　Thanks to the 5000 reward for becoming a millionaire, I kneel down to thank my adoptive father!Thanks for the first kiss given to Yan Yanyan, the half-awake fox and other bosses for the reward, thank you all!
