He just played basketball and became the chosen one.

Ryan, the third black eight in history.

But it is also the first time in history that a rookie led the team to complete the black eight.

The start of Ryan's career has been explosive enough.

People originally thought that defeating the No. 1 player in the Western Conference would be the end of this legendary rookie season.

But no one could have imagined that the Nuggets would be on the stage of the Western Conference Finals!

In the Western Conference semifinals, the tough Nuggets and the gorgeous Kings met in a narrow road.

Adelman's gorgeous Princeton encountered the Nuggets' unlimited defense, and it was quite difficult on the offensive end.

Whether Ryan is facing Webber or Peja, he does not suffer at all on the defensive end.

In the entire series, Webber had only one tough game in G4. In that game, the king of kings made 13 of 21 shots and scored 28 points with a 61.9% shooting rate.

But this game is not an honor for Weber, at most it can only be regarded as a fig leaf for him.

Because except for this one, all the others were car accident scenes!

In G1, Ryan and Posey's tacit defense switch allowed Weber and Peja to shoot 37.5% and 33.3% of their turnovers respectively.

In G2, Weber scored 7 of 17 and was continued to be suppressed by Ryan. No matter how gorgeous your pass is or how tricky your movement is, we won't suffer any loss by switching defenses to make you play out of position!

In G3, Weber made 6 of 16, again shooting only 37.5%.

G5 Weber continued to fall below the lower limit, shooting 5 of 16 with a shooting rate of 31.3%. The shooting percentage of G6 finally returned, but the production was limited. He only scored 14 points on 7 of 11 shots.

Kings fans shook their heads when they saw it. How about saying basketball is a good sport? Because it is suitable for all men, women and children, even those like Mr. Wei who can no longer get tough can go to the NBA and shoot two shots!

Don't be surprised, Webb is famous for his mistakes in the playoffs. During his career with the Kings, Webb's true shooting percentage in the playoffs was just 49 percent. For comparison, Duncan's true shooting percentage in the playoffs during those years was 56 percent.

What? Isn't it fair to compare someone like Duncan, who plays center but pretends to be a power forward, to Webber?

Then Garnett's true shooting percentage in the playoffs these years is also 52%!

You must know that Garnett's offense was criticized verbally and verbally in the playoffs. This shows what level Webber's offense is in the playoffs.

Many people may not believe it, but Webb has only scored 30+ points in a single game 4 times in the playoffs in his entire career, while Garnett has 9 times.

Duncan? Duncan has scored 40+ four times and has a cute smile. He is still the kind of player who does not focus on scoring high points.

Weber's style of play is too fluid, and he prefers to shoot jumpers from the outside than hard special players.

No way, that's Weber's style.

The King's Webber is already a reformed Webber. The Webber in the 1990s played like a big back forward. Otherwise, where do you think his gorgeous passing skills come from.

Although there are occasional violent dunks after turning his back, and occasionally Olajuwon's inside steps are like possessing him.

But a flash in the pan won't last a seven-game series.

In addition, Webber just suffered a torn meniscus last season, so he was particularly ineffective in the playoffs this year.

However, even though Webber was guarded so miserably, the Kings still fought the Nuggets until Game 7.

There is no other reason, there are not many people on the Nuggets side who can score!

James Posey did not have the magic of the first round in this round, and the power of his double teamwork with Ryan was greatly reduced.

Posey has some scoring ability, but his career-high season is only 13.4 points. It is obviously unrealistic for you to treat him as a second-hand person.

The double-handed turkey is Ryan's biggest helper on the offensive end this round, but he is not a top scorer.

Not to mention others, who basically average single-digit points per game in this level of competition.

The Kings and Nuggets each have advantages. The Kings' advantage is that although individual scores are not high, Webber is limited to averaging only 17 points per game.

But five players averaged double figures per game!

Because there are so many people who can score, even if Webb plays so awkwardly, the Kings can still win some games!

The Nuggets are in the opposite situation, with individual players scoring high. Ryan averaged 23.8 points per game in six games, scoring 30+ points once.

The two-way turkey averaged 19.1 points per game and Posey averaged 12.1 points per game.

But other than that, there is no third player averaging double figures.

This round allows fans to see the upper limit of the Nuggets' current lineup.

The win over the Timberwolves mainly relies on defense. Ryan's defense is equivalent to directly destroying the madman's point, leaving Garnett with a broken arm fighting the Nuggets.

But facing Princeton's team-oriented king, it's not that easy to completely strangle him. In other words, just strangulating him a little is useless to the king.

The long tug-of-war exposed the Nuggets' mediocre weaknesses in their overall scoring ability.

Therefore, the Kings are more difficult to deal with the Nuggets than the Timberwolves, the number one player in the Western Conference.

This season, the gap between the top eight teams in the Western Conference is very small, and due to problems such as conflicting styles of play, it is very likely that the team can beat the number one team but cannot beat the number four team.

In this way, Ryan experienced his first career tiebreaker in his rookie season!

It is no exaggeration to say that on the night of the tiebreaker, Lane was more nervous than the night when he lay on Theron's bed for the first time!

But just like the previous G6 game against the Timberwolves, Ryan immediately lost his nerves the moment he came on the court.

Today, Webb was still tortured by Ryan Posey's unlimited defense changes.

He didn't dare to take a shot easily, and even made 0 of 3 shots from the free throw line because he was too nervous!

Weber's mentality is also the key reason that has always restricted him from going further.

On the other hand, Ryan was not afraid of anything, and he was very successful in shooting outside and cutting inside.

In this round, Ryan made more cuts to attack the frame. After all, the Kings' interior defense is not as tough as the Timberwolves'.

One keeps floating outside and shoots, but the other goes in to kill when there is a chance.

Lane and Weber are a stark contrast.

In the end, Ryan scored 27 points in the tiebreaker, while Webber only had 15 points.

The Nuggets also defeated the Kings 84-78 and miraculously reached the Western Conference Finals!

A rookie who led his team to the Western Conference Finals.

This is something that even Duncan, who was at full level, couldn't do it in his rookie season!

Stan Kroenke was laughing like crazy. He didn't expect that he could still continue to sell tickets after playing this season!

Ryan defeated the Kings in a tiebreaker, which really gave the basketball world a small shock.

I thought Heiba ​​was already at his limit, but little did he know that the King was also impressed by him!

Garnett cried and fainted in Cassel's arms. I had been fighting for eight years and couldn't get past the first round.

As a result, Ryan enjoyed the Western Conference Finals in his first year!

Garnett wants to retire!

The gap between humans is sometimes bigger than the gap between wolves and aliens!

Some people get tired of eating fruit, and some people have never been to a fruit shop in their lives!

Previously, Wade originally reached the second round with the Heat, and many media were comparing Ryan and Wade.

But this time, when Wade was also eliminated and Ryan advanced in the tiebreaker, all comparisons were meaningless!

There are only two players left in the 2003 draft who are still alive in the playoffs, and that is Ryan and Milicic!

Worthy of being the top pick and second overall pick!

And after winning the tiebreaker, Ryan also set another record.

When the NBA officially announced the best defensive team of the year, Ryan's name was clearly on the list!

The youngest player in NBA history to make the All-Defensive First Team!

It's hard to imagine that a player has entered the NBA's best defensive team at the age of 19!

Under normal circumstances, when a rookie enters the league, the easiest way to show his talent is his passing or scoring ability.

Defenses generally take several seasons to hone.

As talented as Garnett was, he only entered the All-Defensive Team in his fifth year in the industry, a year later than the time he entered the All-Defensive Team.

As strong as Jordan, he was only selected for the first defense in the fourth year of his career.

But Ryan, although he is only 19 years old, there is absolutely no star in the league who wants to play against him!

One day later, Ryan entered the best third team again, and was also the youngest third team player in history!

This time, the record doesn’t need to be customized, Ryan just has it!

Ryan's main reason is that his record is at a disadvantage, otherwise he could have pushed Peja out of the second team!

Of course, Ryan didn’t just care about winning the award.

As a selfless person, Ryan also helped Garnett break a record - the first MVP in history to encounter a black eight!

This is different from MVP, but the gold content in the first round is not the same. After all, he is better than legends such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Moses Malone. He has also had the experience of winning the MVP but being eliminated in the first round.

Moses Malone was even elected MVP twice but failed to make it past the first round of the playoffs. His status in this regard is unshakable.

As for Garnett, as the MVP of the season, not only did he not pass the first round, he was also blackballed!

Suddenly the gap with Moses Malone widened!

This is the beginning of becoming a legend!

Chinese fans all ridiculed that Garnett's historical status has been elevated, and Ryan will have to give him a thumbs-up!

Garnett really cried miserably. Because of this incident, he was called "the most disrespectful MVP in history" by the media.

The nickname "softie" spread like wildfire.

Instead of becoming an honor for Garnett, this MVP became a shame!

And Ryan only added fuel to the fire because he defeated the MVP of the season.

At this point, Ryan's rookie season has been completely amazing.

In his rookie season, he was selected to both the All-NBA Team and the All-Defensive Team, and he was also selected to the All-Defensive Team! Then, defeated MVP and reached the Western Conference Finals!

The next day, "Sports Illustrated" once again chose Ryan as the cover, and the title was directly in four letters: GOAT! ?

Everyone has been waiting for Jordan's successor for so long, and now they realize that Ryan seems to be the one closest to him!

Although Duncan was also very strong in his rookie season, he is still an insider after all.

Only Ryan can become the Jordan of this era!

The whole world was praising Ryan like crazy. Barkley bluntly said: "A ruler similar to Jordan has appeared!"

Flip Saunders still admires Ryan very much: "Others just entered the league at the age of 22, but he may have already won the NBA championship at the age of 22."

Bird, the beeping king, also expressed a rare opinion: "I dare say that before the age of 25, Ryan's style is second only to me in NBA history! Well, at most it will be a tie!"

Even Jordan himself was chased by reporters to ask him to evaluate Ryan.

Jordan, who had just come out of the golf course, had to take off his sunglasses when he was surrounded by reporters:

"Ryan? Yes, I've been hearing about him lately.

Friends around me, the news on TV, and the newspapers in my hands are all talking about Ryan.

He is almost the hottest figure in basketball right now, right?

It has to be said that Ryan's achievements in his rookie season are indeed remarkable.

If he stays healthy, he will definitely become one of the best players in NBA history. "

The reporters were obviously dissatisfied with this overly official answer, so they continued to ask: "Do you think Michael can surpass you?"

Faced with this question, Jordan smiled slightly:

"How should I put it? He still lacks a little bit.

Something that makes him stronger. "

"You mean, Ryan still lacks All-Star teammates?"

Jordan waved his hand and smiled conspiratorially: "No, Ryan will know what it is specifically."

After that, Jordan put on his sunglasses again and got into the Ferrari given by the manufacturer.

He also has to rush out to date a Cuban model.

The reporters watched the red Ferrari drive away speechlessly. Damn it, when did Jordan learn to be the Riddler?

Anyone who talks half-talk and writes novels out of chapters should go to court!

Something that makes Ryan stronger? Don't you mean teammates?

Don't tell me that you still lack a historical record for the Three-Point Contest!

That thing, counting from now on 50 years from now, no one may be able to break it!

But overall, Jordan's evaluation of Ryan is also very positive.

This wave of collective praise from celebrities and coaches has brought Ryan's popularity to a climax.

But Ryan’s path to miracles this season ends here.

Ryan killed one No. 21 in the playoffs, but failed to get over another No. 21.

In the Western Conference Finals, against the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, the stubborn Denver Miners finally failed to change their fate.

That's right, it's not the Lakers who entered the Western Conference Finals in this history, but the Spurs!

They eliminated the Lakers F4 in the Western Conference semifinals with a total score of 4 to 2 and successfully entered the Western Conference finals!

In the original history, Duncan never defended the title in his entire career.

This also has the legend of the Spurs being "invincible in odd years".

But in fact, the Spurs are not without a chance to defend their title.

The reason why the title defense failed in 2004 mainly started with that 0.4 seconds.

In the Western Conference semifinals between the Lakers and the Spurs in history, the Spurs started with a 2-0 lead.

But in the end, the Lakers lost four games in a row!

In G3, the Lakers played a suffocating defense in the final battle, allowing Duncan to be directly blocked in the game. They only scored 2 points in the first half. They only scored 10 points and 13 rebounds on 4 of 14 shots. There were also 6 turnovers in the game. , one of the few games where Duncan stretched his hips.

On the day of G4, Kobe went to Eagle County from Los Angeles at 3 a.m. to attend a hearing, so the rushing rule came into effect. He scored 42 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 0 turnovers that night, leading the Lakers to equalize the total score.

But neither of these two games was the most fatal. The most fatal thing was in the last 0.4 seconds of G5 Tianwangshan, Fisher scored the goal that he can brag about for a lifetime.

Before that goal, Duncan had actually hit a difficult and accurate shot, and the entire Spurs team felt that the match point was secure.

But who would have thought that in the last 0.4 seconds, Laoyu made a counterattack. It is not difficult to imagine how serious this defeat was to the morale of the Spurs.

The victory was abruptly snatched away, and the 2-0 lead was lost to the opponent for three consecutive games, allowing the opponent to take the lead in getting the match point.

The mentality of the entire Spurs team has collapsed.

As for the Lakers, because they had won three games in a row, their morale was extremely high.

So in G6, the demoralized Spurs were defeated by the red-eyed Lakers. They were defeated by 18 points and missed the opportunity to defend their title.

But in this history, the very accidental event of 0.4 second kill did not appear.

That game didn't even include Duncan's accurate buzzer beater, because the Spurs beat the Lakers by 5 points and didn't hit the buzzer beater at all.

The Spurs after Tianwangshan finally reversed their decline are completely different from the Spurs who lost three games in a row.

Because the Lakers lost Tianwangshan, O'Neal publicly criticized Kobe for being too selfish in the last quarter, causing the already poor locker room atmosphere of F4 to collapse prematurely.

Just like that, the Spurs defeated the Lakers 84-76 in G6 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!

In recent years, the strength of the Spurs and Lakers has been about the same, so it is normal for whoever wins.

In 2003, Holly lost his sight and the Spurs lost 4:2. In 2004, Fisher scored the buzzer-beater and the Lakers led 4:2.

For a team of this caliber, it might only be one or two goals that can change the outcome of the series.

In this history, the Spurs have not been unlucky again.

In this way, the Spurs entered the Western Conference Finals and met with the Nuggets.

Ryan has been devastated by top power forwards for three consecutive rounds.

Moreover, Ryan has only met two first-team players in the Western Conference this season. I really envy those players who have met three first-team opponents in the Eastern Conference for more than ten years.

There's nothing you can do about it, a group of players from the Eastern Conference are by your side.

This time when they meet the Spurs, the Nuggets' upper limit has really been reached.

Duncan is different from Garnett and Webber.

When he got the ball, he really hit it inside.

What the Nuggets' inside defense is most afraid of is this kind of big man who can pinpoint the sea.

So in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, Duncan made 13 of 18 shots and scored 30 points and 11 rebounds!

The Nuggets also experienced the despair when an opponent's player shot over 70%!

And Ryan was limited to only 17 points, because the Spurs' defense was also very weak.

It's not that the Spurs can interfere with Ryan's shooting percentage, but that Ryan can't catch the ball at all!

The Spurs don't use Bowen to defend Ryan, but use Bowen to defend Miller, who is responsible for holding the ball!

The Spurs' defensive strategy has always been to block the center and set aside, forcing the ball carrier to go to a place with narrow vision, and then immediately flank.

In this way, the ball-handler must either stop against the defense and make a mid-range shot before the attack comes up, or pass the ball in a wide range.

There is no opportunity for easy organization at all.

Bowen is the first defensive chain that forces the opponent to move. Miller can easily release the ball when facing the point guard, but facing Bowen's pressure and being forced into a narrow position, Miller's release is really restricted. .

At this time, no matter how fast Ryan runs, it’s useless if he can’t catch the ball!

The Spurs' favorite defensive strategy is an off-ball scorer like Ryan and a ball-holding breakthrough player like Ajan.

But for someone like Kobe who can hold the ball and make one-on-one difficult mid-range shots, the Spurs can't hold him back.

It's a pity that Ryan's ability to hold the ball is not very good at the moment, and it is impossible to achieve the effect of Kobe Bryant's hard-to-break Spurs defense at this stage.

In the first game, the Spurs defeated the Nuggets 90 to 79.

The second game was even worse. While Duncan was going crazy in the paint, the French sports car Parker also broke out.

When Ryan went to chase Ginobili, Parker used his top spin after breaking through the pick-and-roll to score 30 points on the double-blade turkey!

97 to 82, the Nuggets lost two games in a row!

At the beginning of G3, the Nuggets changed their strategy.

Ryan no longer played purely off the ball, but began to use his routine to kill the Timberwolves.

That is, hold the ball, take a step through the pick-and-roll, and then make an emergency stop to shoot.

This sudden change of tactics made the Spurs' defense a little uncomfortable. Ryan scored 25 points to help the Nuggets regain a victory.

But in G4, the Spurs inside knew that they had to save Ryan's pick-and-roll to interfere with the shot. Once the pick-and-roll occurs, the person responsible for defending Ryan and the insiders who help defend Ryan will directly choose to flank Ryan.

Of course Nene can pass down the line, but the Spurs also bullied Ryan's mediocre ability to hit the ball in the double attack, so they carried out the double attack unscrupulously.

In addition, Horry was absolutely crazy in this game. He scored 21 points on 5 of 6 three-pointers in the game, which made the Zen Master want to call the police!

You were not like this at my place last season!

You're a wild man, you pretend to be dead at home, but you have a lot of fun when you go out and cum!

3 to 1, the Spurs easily got the match point!

In G5, relying on the explosion of Posey and Miller, the Nuggets tied the series to 2-3.

In the sixth game, Ryan also broke out. He could always hit difficult mid-range jumpers before being double-teamed and scored 32 points!

but.

The Nuggets are no longer good. This team's capabilities have reached their upper limit.

Miller was limited by Bowen to 2-for-11 shooting and four turnovers. Posey made 3 of 13 shots and was shot by Horry.

Wash Leonard finally woke up and scored 17 points, but it was not enough to help Ryan overcome the difficulty.

At this time, Skodishvili, the ceiling of Denver's strength, volunteered to share the burden with his eldest brother Ryan!

But it was rejected by Bzdelik with one vote.

Forget it, brother, the Spurs already have Ginobili and don't need a sixth man!

Just take care of Theron quickly. Ryan will need it when he gets home!

The Spurs never gave the Nuggets another chance.

4 to 2, the San Antonio people reached the finals again!

Ryan's legendary rookie season ends here.

After the sixth game, Ryan kicked the basketball away without "grace".

This round of the series gave him a deeper understanding of the upper limit of his personal abilities.

Ryan now knows very well that he is still a long way from the championship.

Being able to attack and defend without the ball is not enough!

My ball-holding ability and ball-playing ability need to be improved!

Stan Kroenke also knows that he must raise the team's ceiling.

Either find another defensive perimeter for Ryan, and don't let him always be one-on-one on the perimeter.

Either find someone who can score for Ryan, and don't let Ryan be alone at critical moments.

When walking to the locker room after the game, Skotishvili patted Ryan on the shoulder:

"It's okay Ryan, next season, I will be your most trustworthy helper!"

Ryan smiled and said, "Thank you, man."

Then Lane's cell phone rang, it was Theron calling.

At that moment, Skotishvili felt that his comfort was completely unnecessary.

My goddess will comfort you.

I don’t care how you comfort each other, but promise me that the goddess’s mouth can only be used for eating and talking!

Although he lost the game, Ryan's rookie season still received unanimous praise.

At least Nike doesn't dare to get angry after Ryan loses, because the Black Eight MVP, Western Conference Finals, first defense and third team have been successful enough.

It was so successful that a certain little emperor was almost forgotten in a corner covered with spider webs.

Michael Jordan looked at Ryan's unwilling look at the press conference and took a deep breath of his cigar thoughtfully.

That is the most important thing to Ryan.

Possibly, it has already appeared.

Today’s 10,000-word update is here! Old drivers can’t even update it stably! I am a conscientious old man, please kneel down and beg for a monthly ticket! Thank you dads!
