He just played basketball and became the chosen one.

The new season of 2003 has just begun, and Ryan is already appearing in advertisements all over the world. He wore Reebok shoes on TV, devoured M's Burgers, drank Coca-Cola, played with a Spalding basketball, and attended a Dior reception.

This means that the shooting of Dior's commercial has not started yet, otherwise I could have another Theron in my arms.

He seemed to have moved the White House to Denver, making Denver the focus of the world.

After this "anti-discrimination and anti-bullying incident", Ryan's popularity became even more popular.

All teenagers regard Ryan as their idol, and the phrase "Long live the unity of the people of the world" directly became a popular saying.

Even an old black guy with a gun and a mask on the street can tell you "Long live the great unity of the people of the world."

Nike looked at this grand occasion and was extremely nervous.

These originally belonged to James!

Nike fans can’t stand it anymore. What do you mean by signing James for 90 million?

We had a good discussion with Ryan at the beginning, why did we change it to James? If you, Ajan, give him 90 million, is he worth this price? It’s not worth it, you know you don’t have the ability! It's fine now. I lost the No. 1 pick and lost face. In the end, I even lost the Rookie of the Year award and lost all face!

Also because Ryan is so popular now, after the three-game suspension period, the focus battle between Ryan and the Lakers has become a national concern.

Nike originally thought that the Nuggets' matchup with the Lakers would dampen Ryan's spirit.

After all, the Lakers are No. 1 in the Western Conference. Even if Kobe cannot play, there are still three superstars in O'Neal, Malone and Payton.

A 19-year-old boy has no idea how scary someone over 30 can be.

As long as the Lakers torture Ryan hard, the world will wake up and let the world know that Ryan is just a rookie.

What surprises Nike is that

On the contrary, many media believe that the Lakers are very likely to overturn at the hands of the Nuggets!

“Although they experienced three consecutive losses in the past week, it is obvious that the Nuggets with a complete lineup are still quite strong.

You know, the Nuggets with a complete lineup can beat the Timberwolves and beat the Cavaliers by 40 points.

This is the Wild West and there are no weak teams here.

The Los Angeles Lakers will experience a tough battle next! "

"Ryan is a troublemaker. With him around, the Lakers' defense will face a huge test."

"Sharks may be kings of the oceans, but on land, beware the lions!"

Nike:? ? ?

Ah no, what are you talking about! ?

I am not wrong, right? You actually lied about Ryan in front of Shaq?

Ryan can now be compared to a shark?

The Nike team really didn’t expect that they were the only ones who looked down on Ryan!

No one is stupid, the strength shown by the Nuggets in these games is already strong enough.

The Wild West is mutual, and there is no easy opponent in the West for the Nuggets. But for the Lakers, there are no easy opponents in the West.

The Denver Nuggets themselves are part of the Wild West!

In the evening, TNT's Barkley even criticized Ryan severely during the game preview program:

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ryan is already an important star player, and he is by no means as simple as 'a rookie who performed slightly better'.

He beat LeBron by 40 points in three quarters! Scored 34 points on LeBron in three quarters!

Since the beginning of the season, Ryan's lowest scoring game has been 16 points.

Compared with other rookies who score in single digits at every turn, Ryan's strength goes without saying.

And this season, after nearly ten games, I think everyone must have discovered one thing - the average points and shooting percentages of outside players this season have almost all plummeted!

Take the top four shooting guards as an example. Kobe averaged 30 points per game last season and shot 45% from the field. So far this season, he is averaging 2.2 points per game and shooting 43.8% from the field.

McGrady averaged 32.1 points per game last season and shot 45.7% from the field. So far this season, he is averaging 28 points per game and shooting 41.7% from the field.

Iverson is averaging 25.4 points per game this season and shooting 38.7% from the field. Carter is averaging 22.5 points per game so far this season and shooting 41.7% from the field.

This is not because they have changed, but because the league's defense has become stronger!

This season, all teams have become accustomed to zone defense. It is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the tightest defensive seasons in NBA history!

In this context, as a rookie, Ryan had a minimum of 16 points.

This is enough to prove Ryan's power!

So even the Los Angeles Lakers have to be careful about Ryan! "

Sir Charles Flying Pig's statement is by no means alarmist. The 2003-04 season was indeed the most ferocious defensive year in NBA history.

Zone defense is becoming more and more mature, and many teams are beginning to use zone defense. And in this context, the No Handcheck rule has not yet arrived.

The league's overall defensive strength can be said to be the strongest in history!

But it can't be compared to the intensity of being called a foul if you touch other people's fingers with your finger in the future.

Therefore, not only the four major shooting guards, but also 90% of the outside players have experienced a certain degree of decline in shooting percentage and scoring.

And in such a bad situation, Ryan can still play so well.

Barkley said this from this perspective, and the fans extremely recognized Ryan's strength.

To be honest, Ryan himself didn't expect that Feizhu would actually praise him.

It seems that the taste from when Yao Ming kissed a donkey's butt last season is still lingering in his mouth.

The smell, which is fishier than abalone, reminds him all the time: "You won't suffer any loss if you brag about Chinese players!"

In short, although the Nuggets have just experienced three consecutive losses, they are very optimistic.

In people's minds, the Nuggets are already a strong team in the Western Conference!

Moreover, everyone is really looking forward to the sparks between Ryan, a rookie, and the league's established teams.

I want to see how many superstars this newcomer can handle!

Ryan is quite flattered. His current popularity has simply turned Ajan into a scumbag!

In this case, we can't let down the fans' expectations!

However, the media's public opinion naturally made the Lakers players very unhappy.

Payton is the most unhappy one among them. After all, he is the Lakers' most reliable outside defense now. When the media says this, doesn't it mean they look down on my defense?

The guard who once won DPOY as a point guard showed a tug-of-war expression during the interview:

"Kobe is not here, we can still get rid of Ryan!"

The Los Angeles media also immediately moved out the data from last season:

“Last season, the Lakers played the Nuggets four times and won four times.

The most important thing is that we beat the Nuggets by an average of 24.2 points per game!

After having Ryan this season, the Nuggets may be a strong team, but they still can't compete with us! "

The Los Angeles media reports have indeed made countless Denver fans sad.

When the Nuggets met the Lakers last season, they lost the smallest game by 19 points!

but.

This actually makes Denver fans look forward to this game even more!

The new king, Ryan, will definitely make the decision for us!

On the morning of the 13th, Ryan and the team headed towards Los Angeles.

After getting on the plane, Ryan was just about to take a nap, but Birdman walked up to Ryan with a smile: "Boss, I finally completed the tattoo you mentioned yesterday!"

"Tattoo? What tattoo?"

"Serve the country with loyalty!"

"Huh? Have you had four characters tattooed for a week?"

"What four words? Look!"

After saying that, Birdman opened his clothes and exposed his back.

The corner of Ryan's mouth twitched, good guy, you started getting tattoos from "Wolf Smoke"!

It’s full!

That is to say, the birdmen of this period did not have "feathers" on their bodies, otherwise there would not be enough space!

"How about it, boss? There is no society! This is not worthy of the temperament of our team!"

"It matches, it matches, it matches so well. Hey, it's all my fault that I didn't explain it clearly to you."

"Explain what?"

"It's nothing, bird. Tattoos alone won't do. Tomorrow we're going to hunt sharks. Are you ready to get pounded by Uncle Shaq?"

Birdman patted his chest: "Don't worry! I won't be soft!"

Sharks, this is Ryan's only worry now.

Although Kobe is not here tomorrow, the Sharks are still a headache.

This inside giant hits the Nuggets' weak spot where their inside strength is insufficient.

As long as they can find a way to deal with the Sharks, the Lakers have nothing to fear.

On the evening of November 14, the Staples Center was filled with people.

But most fans actually don't come to see the Lakers, but to see Ryan, a super rookie!

As soon as the Nuggets players came in to warm up, Skotishvili, who was walking in the front and had the highest level of strength, suddenly stumbled and fell to his knees.

Skotishvili, who was lying on the ground, looked at the pair of slender white legs in front of him, swallowed, and his hands trembled with excitement.

I really saw it right, this, this, this, isn’t my goddess Theron! ?

"What the hell are you doing? You're kneeling down before the fight. How embarrassing!" Ryan quickly picked up Skotishvili's jersey, and Skotishvili put his tongue back.

Ryan looked up and saw Theron smiling at him.

The goddess in Skotishvili's heart stood up and reached out to Ryan: "Hello, we meet again."

That "Hello" was specially said in Chinese.

Ryan nodded politely: "Hello."

The hand gently grasped the other person's fingertips, and then immediately let go.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and began to lecture Skotishvili: "You worthless guy! You are like this when you see a 1.7-meter shark. Why don't you pee your pants when you see a 2-meter-1 shark later?"

"Brother, how does it feel to touch her hand?"

"Look at your poor performance. It's either windy or raining when you practice shooting, and your attention is focused on women all day long. This is a huge benefit to you!"

"Why is it no good? My hand speed when stealing has become faster! Hehe, brother, you said no, but you couldn't help but invite people out to watch the game.

After the game later, where are you going to go on a date? "

Birdman also hurriedly echoed: "Brother, didn't you say that good women will only disturb our team from becoming bigger and stronger? How can you risk yourself!"

Ryan was shooting to warm up while shaking his head: "Where did I make an appointment with her? I don't even have her phone number, it's just a coincidence. This is Los Angeles, what kind of celebrity can't be met?"

Skotishvili nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, my goddess is not that easy to date. Hawking said, even in infinite parallel universes."

"Nene! If he talks nonsense again, just hold him down and I'll take out the seven wolves from my locker room!"

After one move of Lion King's intimidation skill, Ryan's ears finally became quiet.

Ryan is obviously more interested in sharks than Theron, who is actually 1.77 meters tall and looks 1.47 meters tall.

The Lakers soon came out to warm up, and a huge shadow appeared at the entrance of the players' tunnel.

Because Shark is also owned by Reebok and has shot commercials with Ryan before, so he has no personal grudges against Ryan and greeted Ryan friendly.

But Shark, who was usually laughing and joking, had a very gloomy expression today.

Obviously, the 6-2 record is just an illusion. The Sharks are well aware of how chaotic the Lakers are now.

What's more, now that the break with Kobe is a foregone conclusion, the Lakers prefer to keep Kobe.

This is even more frustrating for the shark.

Not just the Sharks, the entire Lakers team looks a little lifeless.

As Jackson later commented in his autobiography: "This season we are just a loose collective of physically and mentally exhausted veterans. We cannot be as eager and passionate about winning as we were when we won three consecutive championships."

The Lakers are in this state and they still have to give up to Kobe Bryant.

Still want to win against us? My lord, I've eaten poop!

However, just because sharks are friendly to Ryan, does not mean that everyone is friendly to Ryan.

Payton, who has always been very cool, still looked disdainful when he was interviewed before the game:

"The Nuggets are causing trouble for us? Come on, we are a championship team! Don't expect Ryan to perform any miracles today, because I will guard him personally today!

Don't forget how the Lakers ravaged the Nuggets last season. "

Kareem Rush, who replaced Kobe in the starting lineup, even believed: "The game will not even go to the end. We will seal the victory in advance. The Lakers are number one in the Western Conference!"

There is no doubt that these two are still immersed in the fantasy that "the Lakers are a strong team."

I still feel confident that I can beat the Nuggets by 20 points just by playing casually.

But the collapse of the dynasty will be faster than they expected!

The game started soon, and the Nuggets started as usual, finally having a complete lineup again.

The Lakers' starters are Payton, Rush, Devin George, Malone and Shark.

Payton lifted his trousers and stared at Ryan:

"Rookie, have you heard the sound of hammering at eight o'clock in the evening in Los Angeles? It doesn't matter, you will hear it soon."

However, after the first quarter.

"11 points in a single quarter! The Lakers' defense was simply screwed to pieces by Ryan!

Sorry, I'm too excited. Let me use a more civilized word.

The Lakers' defense was overturned by Ryan! "

In the TNT studio, Sir Flying Pig saw the Sharks' team being beaten like this. He was so happy that he didn't know how to use civilized words.

Payton has inherited the fine tradition of the Lakers' starting point guard. He pulled up his trouser leg and the opponent's score increased sharply!

Payton, with his old arms and legs, couldn't keep up with Ryan in the first quarter. He was no longer the Payton who made Jordan shoot only 41% in the Finals.

Zen Master originally hoped that Payton would use his experience and judgment to cut off Ryan's receiving route, but when Ryan could throw Payton thousands of miles away with just one reverse run, no matter how rich his experience was, it was of no use.

Ryan wildly catches open shots and helps defend? It doesn't exist. Karl Malone was completely pulled away by Posey, and Shark is famous for being unable to get out of the penalty area.

Devin George and Rush can occasionally interfere with Ryan's defense, but it is not enough to completely suppress Ryan.

Ryan used the sight of an elite shooter and endless running to make Payton lose face!

Anyway, it’s just one sentence: Payton can’t defend him at all!

After the first quarter, Ryan looked at Payton Sr., who was already breathing heavily, and spread his hands:

"Kobe is not here, so I'm afraid we won't hear the sound of hammering at 8pm!"

Kobe, a man who did not participate in the game but had a huge presence.

Ryan's 11-point performance in a single quarter was amazing, but the Lakers were only 7 points behind.

After all, there are still sharks in the declining Lakers formation!

Although O'Neal only scored one goal in the first quarter, he made 10 free throws and hit 7 of them, scoring 9 points in a single quarter.

Bzdelik thought the foul would stop the Sharks, but the Sharks' 70% free throw shooting rate today undoubtedly exceeded expectations.

The Sharks are the Lakers' last straw.

And Buzdelik's next task is to find a way to pull out this last life-saving straw!

He is naturally not satisfied with this small lead. Last season, the Lakers beat the Nuggets by an average of 24 points per game. This scar is still making Bzdelik feel pain.

Now that we have stood up, we must fight back!

The sharks must be further contained in the second quarter!

Therefore, he decided to change his defensive strategy in the second quarter and directly prevent the Sharks from receiving the ball!

As for Ryan

Bzdelik had a premonition about this young man who had been holding it in for three nights and had not been released. Tonight, the scoring ceiling for the 2003 rookies may be raised!

If we can successfully limit the Sharks and add to Ryan's excellent condition today.

Proud Los Angeles people, this season, let you feel the despair of being destroyed!
