I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 14
Players are warming up, and the commentators on the sidelines are also warming up.

"Look who we invited today?"

A commentator said to the camera with an exaggerated expression.

The camera turned around, revealing a tall man next to him.

"Hi everyone, I'm Anfernee Hardaway."

Penny Hardaway, in a black suit, smiled and greeted the camera.

The years have left countless injuries on his body, but they have not left any marks on his face. Compared with his player days, Penny in a suit is only more mature and gentle, and he is more mature than him on the court. The style is exactly the same.

After playing 16 games with the Heat last year, Hardaway, who was plagued by injuries, finally chose to retire, ending his rough and rugged career.

"You know, I'm a native of Memphis, I went to Memphis for high school and college, so today my position is very clear, I'm here to support the Tigers."

After sitting down, Hardaway didn't show stage fright at all, and talked to the commentator calmly and with a smile.

"Of course, of course I know that your No. 25 jersey was retired by the University of Memphis when you were in college. I heard that Derrick Rose is a fan of yours. He also wore No. 25. He only chose No. 23 because he was retired. "

Hardaway laughed loudly: "When I played for the University of Memphis, I wasn't as talented as Derek. I heard that he has always been the top pick in the draft list."

"But, Anfernee, you are also the No. [-] pick. Tim is also here today. It seems that everyone is here for Rose. Both of you are the No. [-] pick."

The commentator looked at Duncan, who was sitting quietly on the sidelines, and together with Hardaway, enlivened the atmosphere before the start of the game.

"That's right, Derek's style of playing is really fascinating, and I'm his fan." Hardaway said with a smile.

"Coach Calipari's coaching style this season is also very suitable for Derek. I am optimistic that he will score... 20 points in this game?"

"Although Derrick's scoring ability is not as good as OJ-Mayo, Michael Beasley and Stephen Curry of Davidson College, and he is not even as good as Chris in the Memphis team, but his big picture, ball-handling skills and Passing ability is indispensable for Memphis." Hardaway obviously has studied this year's NCAA, and is familiar with those star players.

"In this way, the starting lineup of the University of Memphis should not change today. Oh, the starting lineup has been sent, let us take a look."

The commentator picked up the piece of paper sent by the staff with the starting lists of both sides. Sure enough, there were familiar names on it.

"The University of Memphis is still starting with Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts. The inside is a combination of Robert Dozier and Joey Dorsey. The small forward position is still..."

Having said this, he suddenly stopped.

"The University of Memphis' starting small forward in this game is not the familiar Antonio Anderson, but a player named - Liran? Is this a Chinese player?"

Hardaway took over the starting list strangely, and then looked on the court.

Li Ran, who was shooting randomly, was the only yellow-skinned player on the field, and he just took off his training uniform, revealing the jersey inside. Hardaway saw the big 0 and the letters LI on his back at a glance .

"It's him."

The commentator frantically searched for information about Li Ran, and finally found that Li Ran had only played in one game.

"Let's take a look, Li Ran, from Damien High School in Illinois, graduated from the same high school as Rose, in SG/SF position, 6 feet 5 inches tall, only one game record this season, scored 2 points and 2 rebounds [-] assists and [-] steals."

After seeing Li Ran's information, the commentator looked at Hadaway with some puzzlement.

It's a big taboo to change players in the middle of the battle, and the Tigers' stable small forward started, and Antonio Anderson, who won the MOP of the conference finals, just sat on the sidelines.

Hardaway frowned and looked at the statistics of Li Ran's only game, and suddenly found that there seemed to be some mystery hidden in this seemingly ordinary statistics.

He didn't say much, because players from both sides had assembled on the field now.

The narrator also recovered from his astonishment, ready to explain the upcoming game.

"The game is about to start. The referee jumps the ball. The starting lineups of the two sides have not changed much, but the starting small forward of the Memphis Tigers has changed from Antonio Davis to Li Ran. We can pay attention to Li Ran's performance after the start of the game. "

With a whistle, the fans on the sidelines suddenly cheered.

The game officially begins!
The ball was thrown high into the sky by the referee, and Joey Dorsey jumped up and flicked the ball away over the head of the UTA center.

Li Ran jumped up and took the ball.

"The Tigers won the ball, Lee controlled the ball and passed it to Rose to organize... No, Lee didn't give the ball to Rose, and Rose went to run?"

Under the surprised eyes of the commentator, Li Ran calmly dribbled the ball slowly at the top of the arc, waiting for his teammates to settle down.

Hardaway's perspective is obviously more professional. He focused on the running positions of the Memphis players on the field, and then said: "The Tigers are going to play singles."

"Singles? For whom?"

Because of Li Ran's appearance, the commentator was still not in the mood, so he asked a question in a daze.

But then, Li Ran gave him the answer.

After a seemingly uncomplicated crossover in front of his body and a change of direction behind him, Li Ran passed the opposing defender cleanly.

At this time, the UTA Mavericks' inside line only has one inside big man who is entangled with Joey Dorsey near the three-second zone.

Seeing that Li Ran rushed in so quickly, the inside player was shocked, gave up the entanglement with Joey Dorsey and came to the penalty area to protect the frame.

Li Ran strode into the free throw line, and then took off directly with both legs.

Under the desperate eyes of the defender, Li Ran put his hands together for the ball, turned his body sideways, retracted and pulled the ball, avoided his block with an elegant and handsome lever, and then dunked the ball into the basket.

After landing, Li Ran clenched his fists and roared towards the sky.

Ross was the first to run over and jumped onto Li Ran's back.

"You're fucking handsome!"

He rubbed Li Ran's short hair with both hands, his face flushed with excitement, and he shouted loudly.

The fans on the sidelines never imagined that this small forward from China, who had never seen it before, gave them such a big gift with the first ball in the opening game.

Duncan opened his eyes wide on the sidelines, staring blankly at the University of Memphis players who were celebrating crazily, then turned his head to look at Parker who had just bought a drink.

"Tony, are the current college students so brutal?"

Parker didn't speak, but the drink in his hand accidentally spilled on the handsome Ginobili's bald head next to him.
