I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 103 Play Well, Give Us Off the Court

Then there's Caron Butler, the dude who went to jail 15 times before he turned 15.

There are also Iverson and Anthony who cannot be avoided.

The Nuggets during the golden double gun period may be the team with the strongest gangster color in the entire league.

"Derek, you should learn from Li Ran and see how he's doing this year." Rose's third brother took out his usual posture of training his younger brother.

Ross didn't care.

Li Ran is doing well, and he is also happy.

And not counting Li Ran as a pervert, Rose's performance this season is also very good.

16+4+6 is already a full score for a rookie point guard.

"I wanted to see you brothers play in the same team. I didn't expect Lee's draft to be so bumpy this year. Fortunately, he went to the Nuggets in the end. It's a pity that Chicago can't get along with Baltimore. Otherwise, I'll be with Melo." Let's say hello."

Rose's eldest brother looked regretful, even at this time he couldn't let go of his "career".

Rose glanced back at his elder brother.

"Don't disturb Li!"

"Of course, you play your game, and we will help you settle things off the court."

Ross's three big brothers are really kind to Ross and Li Ran.

Since childhood training, the three elder brothers treated Li Ran as their own younger brother, which made Li Ran in a foreign country feel the warmth of home.

"What can happen off the court? I'll play at home. Although Li Ran is in Denver, the leader of the team is Melo. What do you think we can do?"

Ross said indifferently.

His brother thought that this was indeed the case, so he concentrated on eating popcorn.

The short vacation passed quickly, and after staying at home for another day, Li Ran bid farewell to Ross and prepared to return to Denver.

Before leaving, Li Ran seemed to think of something.

"What did you sign up for this year's All-Stars?"

He vaguely remembered that Rose did a big thing in this year's All-Star Game.

"I'm not as confident as you in the Skills Challenge. I've signed up for all three challenges."

When Rose talked about the Skills Challenge, Li Ran immediately remembered it.

Yes, Rose won the Skills Challenge in his rookie season.

But this year, Li Ran will compete with Rossby.

"Wait for the runner-up."

He said with a smile, then got into the car and left without giving Ross a chance to refute.

Ross is so angry.

After a short Christmas holiday, the teams are engaged in intense preparations again.

The Nuggets' schedule for the next period of time is very friendly, without a very strong team.

But after defeating the Digital Man and the Knicks in succession, they lost to the Hawks, ending their 15-game winning streak.

On the last day of 2008, Li Ran and the Nuggets defeated the Raptors in the cold Toronto, ending his first natural year in the NBA with a hearty victory.

After this game, the Nuggets also officially climbed to the top of the Western Conference with a record of 25 wins and 7 losses.

After the end of the Christmas holiday, the Lakers unexpectedly had a two-game losing streak, which gave the Nuggets a chance. Although the Nuggets also lost a game, they still became the first because of the relationship between victory and defeat.

In the first game of 2009, the Nuggets will go to Oklahoma to challenge the Thunder, which was renamed last year.

Although Harden has not come to the Thunder as in history, some people in the Thunder now call the Thunder Third Young Master,
Because they also have the No. 07 pick in 5, Jeff Green.

Jeff Green also performed very well after entering the league. He averaged 10+5 per game in his rookie season. This year, he has already averaged 16+7+2 per game in his sophomore year. He is now the second leader of the Thunder.

However, when it comes to the Thunder, one has to talk about Kevin Durant.

Everyone is familiar with the story of 1.5, but now Du Xiaoshuai is still leveling up.

In his rookie season, he averaged 20 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game and won the Rookie of the Year award.

Today, he, who is also in the second grade, has raised his data to 25+6+3, and the daunting super scoring machine in the future has begun to take shape.

Coupled with Westbrook who dares to rush and fight, the Thunder's team with Durant as the core has basically taken shape.

But no one knows how exciting the story surrounding Thunder Thunder's three young masters is.

Of course, Li Ran is not the protagonist in this game. The protagonists are Carmelo Anthony and Durant.

This is a matchup between two top scoring small forwards.

However, although Durant's draft templates are Tracy McGrady and Nowitzki, Li Ran thinks that Durant is most similar to Anthony.

The same unsolvable scoring ability, the same shooting-based but still excellent breakthrough, the same FIBA ​​killer. . .

Although Durant's static talent is better than Anthony's, but at this time, Durant in the second grade is still too immature.

The green-faced Du Xiaobao was obviously in good shape today, and had a good fight with Anthony tonight.

Even the data of the two people are very similar.

杜兰特21投10中，三分5中4，罚球9中9，砍下33分9篮板5助攻。

安东尼20投10中，三分3中2，罚球13中9，砍下31分9篮板2助攻。

However, although Durant is surrounded by Jeff Green and Westbrook, but Anthony is surrounded by Li Ran and Billups!

Durant won the data a little, but the team lost to the Nuggets miserably.

Li Ran had 25 points and 11 rebounds, and Billups had 16 points and 7 assists.

杰夫格林11分6篮板，威少12分2篮板4助攻。

The Nuggets, who played more and more smoothly, taught the young Thunder a good lesson and left Oklahoma with a 23-point victory.

The Nuggets didn't lose many games this season with the Tridents on the court. Except for a wave of three-game losing streak at the beginning of the season, they only lost four games in the rest of the season.

And one of these four games was lost to their opponent in the next game.

The New Orleans Hornets led by young queen Chris Paul.

In the last game, Paul, who was able to jump and jump at his peak, blasted Billups head-on, causing the Nuggets to swallow a loss.

In this game, Li Ran decided to help Billups get back on the field.

58 guns, here I come!
I heard that you are good at playing small games, I heard that you are at the historical level in the middle distance, and I heard that you have a lot of small moves.

Come on.

On January 1, the Nuggets ushered in the Hornets, who were gaining momentum, at the Pepsi Center.

The Hornets have played 20 wins and 9 losses this season, ranking third in the Eastern Conference. On top of their heads are the surprisingly good Celtics and the Cavaliers led by James.

It is worth mentioning that the defending champion has only lost three games so far this season.

Hornets starters: Chris Paul, Rasul Butler, Peja Stojakovic, David West, Hilton Armstrong.

Nuggets starters: Chauncey Billups, Li Ran, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Anderson, Hilario.

O'Neal said he was unwell before the game, and George Karl decisively chose to rotate, giving the old Shark a rest.
