I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 101 The Transformed Li Ran

The two familiar teams once again deployed their strongest lineups tonight. The Nuggets want to double kill the Blazers, and the Blazers have to defend their honor at home.

Compared with George Karl's sitting on the Diaoyutai, McMillan has made a lot of tactical changes.

The player defending Li Ran was replaced by Batum, which relieved Roy's defensive pressure and allowed him to focus more on the offensive end.

The connection between Auden and Ade became closer, vowing to restrain the old shark.

Li Ran was defending Roy today, but at the beginning of the game, Roy's desire to attack was not strong, and it was Adelaide who took the lead in the interior.

In the face of the seasoned Brazilian center, the third-year Adelaide did not hesitate at all.

Adelaide, who has become the leader of the league's new power forward, frequently scores above the Brazilians with his straight-arm jumper.

On O'Neal's side, facing Oden and Adelaide's joint defense is a bit difficult, after all, he is old.

Anthony had to stand up.

But Melon feels cold today.

Only Anthony knew that the cold feeling was caused by Li Ran during the bullfight before the match. . .

He can only warm up his hands as soon as possible by taking more shots.

McMillan couldn't help but envy the Nuggets' lineup.

O'Neal, Anthony, and Li Ran who hasn't started scoring yet, any of these three can be used as the team's main attack point, let alone Billups hiding in the dark.

On the Trail Blazers side, Roy and Alder are the only ones who are fully engaged.

Looking at the old-looking Oden, McMillan sighed.

I don't know when the young Oden will be able to get rid of his injuries and really grow up.

Before McMillan finished expressing his emotions, something happened on the court. . .

Oden limped off the court with the help of the team doctor.

McMillan looked up at the timer.

Well, I just said that he was injured after playing for 8 minutes.

McMillan had to send a backup center Pulzbila.

Fortunately, the Blazers did not bet all their treasures on Oden. Although Przybila was only Oden's substitute, he played more minutes than Oden.

He was the starting center for the Blazers last season, a blue-collar insider, averaging about 5 points and 8 rebounds per game.

As a 2-meter high center, Pulzbila's technical characteristics are very similar to the Congolese center Bismack Biyombo of the later Suns. A typical meat shield center, his skills are all focused on low-post defense, hand-to-hand combat, rebounding and The ability to protect the frame is excellent, and it is a player puzzle that many teams like.

After playing, Pulzbila's performance was obviously better than Oden's. O'Neal was submerged in the muscle forest composed of Przybilla and Alder.

Coupled with Anthony's poor hand feel, the Blazers quickly established their own advantages.

McMillan stood triumphantly on the sidelines, watching his adjustments take immediate effect, wishing he could take a feather fan and change his name to Zhuge McMillan.

"Next, it's time for Brandon to work hard. I want to win today's game!"

He is going to change his tactical strategy again when he changes, giving the Nuggets a little tactical shock.

Sure enough, in the second quarter, George Karl replaced Anthony and O'Neal, who performed poorly in the first quarter, with Anderson and JR, and Li Ran mentioned the 3rd position.

Li Ran didn't play much in the first quarter, only scoring 3 points and 2 rebounds. In the second quarter, George Karl decided to speed up.

McMillan also had the same plan, shifting the focus of offense to Roy, also with the idea of ​​speeding up the pace of the game.

In his opinion, Roy must be better than Li Ran.

You are a new recruit who has just entered the league, and the whole team is used to you, let you improve the data, and even sacrifice the data of the team boss Anthony for this.

McMillan will not be used to Li Ran.

How can there be such a statistic, to give an outside rookie an average of close to 20+13 per game.

This would break the rules.

McMillan thought so.

What's more, Li Ran's performance in the last game was so-so, so he decided to teach Li Ran a lesson.

Roy faced Li Ran with the ball.

He felt that Li Ran was a little different today than yesterday, but he couldn't say exactly what was different.

It wasn't until Li Ran easily saw through three consecutive changes of direction and fake moves, forcing Roy to stop the ball, that Roy suddenly realized.

Why is this kid's defense so strong today?
It was a completely different person from yesterday.

But where is the time on the court for you to suddenly realize that just this stupid effort, the ball in Roy's hand was directly tapped by Li Ran, and Li Ran rushed towards the basketball on the ground like a mad dog, and immediately controlled it.

"Good job!"

Billups gave a thumbs up.

George Karl looked a little skeptical about his life off the court. Is this still the Li Ran he knew?

You said you are strong in breakthrough, I know.

You said you are good at rebounding, and I know that too.

Now you tell me that the star on the opposite side of your defense has no temper.

Are you Jordan?Or Kobe Bryant?

George Karl didn't know whether Li Ran's enlightenment happened suddenly or by chance, so he decided to wait and see.

This wait-and-see led to the official timeout of the second quarter.

When Li Ran left the field, he felt that George Karl looked at him differently.

That feeling is. . .George Carr didn't have a pretty girl to marry, or would have married him. .

Now George Karl's mind is filled with the idea of ​​God help me.

Just wanted a defensive gate, Li Ran got the hang of it?

And it was Brandon Roy who defended.

Who is Roy?

Yellow Mamba!
There are no ordinary people in the league who can bear the name of Mamba.

Oh, except the Red Mamba.

George Karl felt that it was necessary for him to apply to the boss and hire an assistant coach who specializes in defense.

As long as the team's defensive system is completed, the Nuggets will be able to play this season. .

There is a lot to do!

"Li, you're doing well, keep going!"

He didn't hesitate to praise, and praised Li Ran severely.

Li Ran nodded. He still had something to show.

After playing for a quarter and a half, Li Ran's scoring has not yet reached double figures, and now he only has 7 points and 5 rebounds.

He has to continue to work hard for his ability.

After returning to the field, McMillan replaced Batum, and the man defending Li Ran became Roy.

Roy is not very afraid of defending Li Ran. Li Ran's playing style is too simple, so he just needs to pay more attention to blocking his breakthrough route.

I thought so, but when Li Ran singled Roy with the ball for the first time, Roy was dumbfounded when he saw Li Ran running away beside him.

Why is this guy's breakthrough stronger than yesterday?

Li Ran didn't catch him raw through the pick-and-roll, but swung him past him abruptly through a change of rhythm during a one-on-one match?
It hasn't been 24 hours since our last matchup, hey!
