I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 115 Li Ran's Candidate

"There are quite a few."

After Li Ran finished speaking, George Karl said with great interest, "Let's hear it."

Although the players mentioned by Li Ran are probably unreliable, but it is also good to serve as a reference.

"In the 06-07 draft, the Raptors selected a short insider with the 35th overall pick in the second round, but he was cut off after only a few games. Now he is playing in the UKL Super League."

George Karl didn't expect Li Ran to know so deeply. There are so many draft players every year, and George Karl didn't know who Li Ran was talking about.

"His name is PJ Tucker."

George Karl silently remembered the name.

"Who else?"

"A Turkish player for the Bucks, also a second-round pick, is now playing in Barcelona, ​​Spain, called Essen Ilyasova."

"He is a pick-and-roll insider with range and rebounds, but his physical fitness is average, and his strength and speed are not very good."

None of this matters, even if he's a cripple, as long as he has what the Nuggets need.

Although George Karl didn't know how Li Ran knew so many players who played in overseas leagues, he still remembered the name.

"Are there any players playing in the league right now?"

Both of them touched George Karl's blind spot in a row, and he was a little bit embarrassed.

"Also."

Li Ran said without hesitation.

"Who?"

"Magic backup center, Marcin Gortat!"

During this period, being Howard's substitute is undoubtedly the most tragic thing.

The Polish Hammers only averaged 12 minutes per game this season, and the statistics are only 3+4. However, with Howard at the top, it doesn't matter who the backup center is, and Gortat is only the 27th pick in the second round. The rookies, who are not valued, are also being cleaned up.

This candidate is good, George Karl thought silently in his heart.

And the price of the transaction should not be very high, after all, it is only a marginal player of the Magic.

To put it bluntly, as long as Sparks stays in the Magic for one day, Gortat will definitely not have a bright future, and going to other teams is his only choice.

"There's one more at the end."

Li Ran thought about it, and finally said the last name.

"It's just that this is more difficult to trade, but it must have potential."

George Karl was piqued for curiosity.

"Last year's No. 6 rookie, my hometown, this season was traded to the Nets' Chinese insider, Yi Jianlian!"

"hiss!"

George Karl gasped, Li Ran really dared to think about it.

This is a second-year high-ranking rookie, and he is still an insider!

Although the Nuggets currently have little room to maneuver in terms of salary, there is still.

During the offseason, the Bucks sent Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons to the Nets in exchange for All-Star forward Richard Jefferson.

But Yi Jianlian, who was placed high hopes by the Nets, did not make much progress this season.

His personality issues and style of play issues have become the shackles that restrict his continued progress.

But unfortunately, in the Nuggets, neither of these problems is a problem.

First of all, it is difficult for Yi Jianlian to integrate into the team because of his dull personality, poor communication with his teammates, and English proficiency.

However, the Nuggets have Li Ran.

This is Yi Jianlian's natural ally and ruthless translation machine.

In addition, style of play.

Li Ran has always regretted that if Yi Jianlian was born ten years later, his style of play would definitely be sought after by many teams.

Space power forward hey.

In the league ten years later, if you are an insider and don't have a long-range shot, it will be a joke if you say it.

Last season, Yi Jianlian averaged 8+5 per game in the Bucks. This season, he went to the Nets and averaged 8+5 per game. In addition, his age fraud was reported before the draft. Is there still potential to be tapped.

But as the post-Yao Ming era, Li Ran is very clear about the figure who carries the banner of Huaxia basketball.

Yi Jianlian must have the ability and strength to survive in the NBA, and he can do well.

George Karl silently remembered the candidates mentioned by Li Ran in his heart.

He didn't doubt that Li Ran was talking nonsense, because being able to name the first two players who played in other leagues already showed that Li Ran had a deep understanding of the world basketball.

Li Ran wasn't talking nonsense, he had a beer.

In the second half of the third quarter, Li Ran and Billups appeared again.

These veterans of the Nuggets are really awesome, and they just didn't suffer too much disadvantage on the scene.

After all, he is also a person who came from glory.

When Li Ran came on the field, he carefully stuffed the jersey into his pants, then looked up at the scoreboard above his head.

66-68, the Nuggets trailed by two points.

Although from the lead in the first quarter to the current lag, the Nuggets seem to be overtaken.

But the substitute lineup in the third quarter bought valuable rest time for Billups and Li Ran.

"Let's see us next."

Li Ran smiled and gave Szczerbiak a high-five.

Szczerbiak smiled back.

Shaquille O'Neal is still sitting on the sidelines, and George Karl is going to let him play again in the fourth quarter.

So the Nuggets' lineup is still Billups, JR, Mason, Li Ran and Hilario.

This lineup can be both inside and outside, and replacing Mason with O'Neal is the strongest lineup for the Nuggets without Anthony.

After playing the game, the effect was immediate, and Li Ran started his inhumane breakthrough again.

Kwame Brown got a taste of what Johnson felt in the second quarter this time.

He is the No. [-] pick, although he is the number one parallel importer in this era, until he is surpassed by Bennett.

But he is an insider after all, and his body is there.

However, he just couldn't guard against Li Ran.

As soon as Li Ran pulled to the outside line, Kwame Brown had a severe headache.

Don't pull it out, this guy can really score three points.

Pull it out, Li Ran's little fight is merciless, it's really a one-step pass.

With Li Ran as a point that he couldn't handle, Billups fought more calmly.

The entire Nuggets team began to make wedding dresses for Li Ran and create opportunities for him to attack. In this way, the pressure on Li Ran was reduced a lot.

Moreover, this dislocation is much simpler than Billups playing Iverson.

Although there is also the experience of being accidentally blocked by Kwame Brown, who is less of a breakthrough player?

Among other things, when Rose beat James in the playoffs, it was really a history of blood and tears.

At the end of the third quarter, without Iverson's outbreak, the Nuggets successfully regained the lead.

But everyone knows that the fourth quarter is the moment of the real decisive battle.

Both teams will not hold back, and will send their main players for the final battle.

In the fourth quarter, O'Neal finally returned to the game.

After holding back for two full quarters, the Sharks turned around in the paint after playing.

Billups, who has no offensive pressure, puts all his energy on organizing the team's offense and defending Iverson.

Since then, the situation on the field has become exactly the same as in the first quarter, and the Nuggets began to slowly suppress the Pistons.

　Turned around, or updated in the middle of the night. .
