Chapter 158 Li Ran's Three-Point Tactic? ? ?
The training session in the morning is mainly about recovery training. After all, it is already the sprint stage of the season, and some high-energy-consuming subjects will not be arranged.

George Karl has been sitting in the corner of the training hall, thinking about how to adjust for the next game.

It is definitely not feasible to directly and violently change Anthony's tactical status. Anthony is the kind of temperament that takes softness but not toughness. If he is forcibly suppressed, George Karl's fate should be similar to the fate of the teams he coached in front of him. .

And a very important question, if Anthony's usage rate is reduced, who can fill the hole?

Li Ran's style of play is too simple. . .

Thinking of this, George Karl was suddenly attracted by the scene on the training ground.

Li Ranzheng and Szczerbiak had a three-pointer.

The rules are very simple, super long three points, choose two out of five points, ten goals for each point, the winner with the most goals, the loser is responsible for buying hamburgers and donuts for the team.

Szczerbiak went first, and he chose the corners on the left and right sides. This season, the three-pointers from the corners on both sides are basically his main means of scoring.

As for these two points, Szczerbiak scored a full 16.

Li Ran patted the ball easily, talking and laughing with Billups beside him, as if he was not affected by Szczerbiak at all.

After Szczerbiak voted, it was Li Ran's turn.

The point he chose was the top of the arc and 45 degrees to the right.

Seeing that Li Ran made 45 three-pointers at the top of the arc and [-] degrees to the right and scored [-], Szczerbiak could only walk out of the arena amidst the boos of his teammates to buy fried chicken burgers, George There was a smile on the corner of Carl's mouth, but then he thought of one thing.

Li Ran. . .Seems like this year's All-Star three-point contest champion?
As if a ray of sunshine broke through the dark clouds, George Karl suddenly saw the light.

Throughout the season, Li Ran played the role of a breakthrough vanguard and defensive gate for the Nuggets.

His breakthrough ability is a very, very important part of the Nuggets' tactical system, second only to the offensive kaleidoscope of Anthony.

But George Karl never considered, if Li Ran's other offensive skills were combined with his breakthrough ability, what would his attack power be?
Thinking of this, George Karl stood up and called Li Ran over.

At the same time, he also called two trainers.

Li Ran didn't know why George Karl called him over, until George Karl brought him to another field.

At the same time, two trainers pushed a shooting machine.

"I want to see how good your three-point shooting ability is."

George Karl feels like a fool right now.

It is obvious that Li Ran's three-point shooting rate in the regular season is astonishingly high, but from the playoffs to now, he has made a total of two three-point shots and hit one goal.

It's not Li Ran's fault, because George Karl didn't arrange any three-point shooting tactics for Li Ran at all.

In the playoffs, the discipline of the team is the most important, and Li Ran also completed the tactics arranged by George Karl very well.

After 96 shots, Li Ran made an excellent [-] shots.

Then, George Karl arranged for the trainer to defend Li Ran. Li Ran still hit twelve of his twenty three-pointers despite someone defending him.

"Your three-point shooting ability is so good, why do you rarely use it?"

George Karl asked nonchalantly.

Li Ran froze for a moment.

"I feel that my three-pointers are not accurate enough."

George Karl looked at Li Ran with the expression of looking at an alien.

You are already the king of three-pointers, and you told me that you are not accurate enough.

He didn't know that Li Ranru didn't dare to say that his three-pointer was a great achievement no matter what, with his brother Zhuyu from the previous life in front of him.

George Karl thought it was Li Ran being modest, so he nodded and pondered for a while.

"I will design a three-pointer tactic for you in the next game."

Although Li Ran didn't know why George Karl asked him to shoot a three-pointer so suddenly, when it came to the three-pointer tactics, Li Ran's eyes lit up.

"I have a three-pointer tactic, let's see how it goes."

After finishing speaking, Li Ran ran to the side to get a tactical board, and then made gestures on the tactical board.

George Karl looked at the tactical map drawn by Li Ran, and frowned while holding his chin.

"This tactic is very familiar."

Li Ran was a little surprised. No team had used this tactic in the regular season.

"I remember that in the 94-95 season, Jordan's Bulls used a similar tactic, but because the three-pointer was not mainstream at the time, and Jordan and Pippen's three-pointer ability was not very good, so this tactic was quickly adopted. Deprecated," said George Karl.

Li Ran didn't expect that this old man could still remember so clearly after more than ten years.

"This tactic is no problem, we will run this tactic in the training session later."

The next night, the confident Lakers came to the Pepsi Center. Although Phil Jackson was not good at directing on the spot, his coaching ability was indeed at the ceiling level of the entire league.

Kobe looked at Li Ran, thinking about what Phil Jackson had arranged for them before the game.

"The restrictions on Anthony in the last game worked very well. In addition to continuing to restrict Anthony in this game, we must also strengthen the defense against No. 0."

"He takes on the task of a blaster in the Nuggets, causing damage to our inside and consuming the stamina of the inside players. Therefore, when defending him, we must pay more attention to leaving a defensive space."

"As long as Anthony and Li Ran are restrained, we will win half of the game."

He subconsciously pulled up the collar of his jersey, put it in his mouth, and looked up at the dome.

The fourth championship ring was so close to him again, Kobe vowed that he must seize this opportunity this year and not let the championship fall by the wayside.

The starting lineups of the two teams did not make any adjustments. The last game was so intense that the coaches of both sides believed that there was no need to change the lineup.

Keeping in mind Phil Jackson's arrangement, Kobe deliberately left more space for Li Ran than in the previous game.

In this way, it will be very difficult for Li Ran to break through him.

But Li Ran's choice when he held the ball for the first time surprised Kobe.

Li Ran stood outside the three-point line, looking at Kobe who shrank inside the three-point line with some strangeness.

I'm the three-point king, respect me, okay?

In order to let Kobe realize this, Li Ran pulled up and shot without hesitation.

Kobe belatedly reached out to interfere, but it didn't affect Li Ran at all.

The ball went into the net, and Li Ran scored his first point of the game in an unconventional way.

Kobe was caught off guard, and Phil Jackson's pre-match arrangement was declared a failure after Li Ran's shot this time.

So, at Kobe's request, the Lakers players expanded their defense.

However, on the next offense, the tactics the Nuggets ran out surprised everyone.
