I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 164 The basket is as wide as the sea
As soon as he played, Li Ran was obliged to take over the offensive burden of the team when Anthony was not feeling well.

And Anthony's bad touch also made the Lakers think that they had a chance in this game.

But Li Ran's next performance gave the Lakers a heavy slap in the face.

He made three three-pointers and scored seven points in just one and a half minutes.

Among these three shots, Li Ran made a three-pointer, a mid-range shot, and a breakthrough.

Kobe looked helpless with his arms akimbo.

This kid's performance in this game was as slippery as a fish, and his three shots were all extremely strange.

Mingming opened up the space, but instead of rushing inside, he chose a high jumper.

Obviously he blocked all the breakthrough routes, but he took a step back and resolutely shot from outside the three-point line.

Seeing that the team was already five points behind, Kobe took a deep breath, took the ball from Fisher, and looked at Li Ran standing in front of him with determined eyes.

Kobe's signature crossover in front of his body is actually rarely seen on the court now, but now, he used it again when facing Li Ran's defense.

The main reason is that Kobe's efficiency in backing up Li Ran in the low post has become lower and lower.

Li Ran's improvement rate also exceeded Kobe's expectations. It took this kid just one season to become an opponent that he had to face up to.

In last year's training camp, Kobe's one-on-one win rate against Li Ran was still [-]%, but now Kobe can't say that he can beat Li Ran for sure.

The current Kobe is at the peak of the combination of technology, experience and body. He quickly tore through Li Ran's defense and also hit a mid-range jumper.

Li Ran still felt that his external defense was fake, as if something was missing.

However, he immediately played an answerball in front of Kobe.

It's the same way of crossing and changing direction ahead of time, but Li Ran's movement is bigger than Kobe's.

Then, worshiping Buddha + turning around, Li Ran rushed into the inside line from the side of Kobe who was showing his flaws like thunder.

Facing Li Ran's prayer to Buddha, even Kobe couldn't help but hesitate a bit.

After all, this is a skill Li Ran learned from Owen.

After rushing into the inside line, facing An Zhu who was protecting the frame, Li Ran was not polite. He jumped up directly inside the free throw line, holding the ball with one arm, and collided head-on with An Zhu.

An Zhu slapped Li Ran's ball protector without hesitation, but with his super strong waist and abdomen strength, Li Ran still maintained his balance in the air, and then threw the ball towards the basket.

The ball stumbled on the backboard and then fell into the basket.

Li Ran lay on the ground and clenched his fists excitedly.

Nine points in a row!

He alone supported the offensive rhythm of the Nuggets today.

At the Lakers' home court, after 3 minutes of the game, the Nuggets unexpectedly led the Lakers by 5 points.

The point difference is not the key point, the key point is Li Ran's terrifying state in these few attacks.

Li Ran seemed to be a different person today. In the previous few games, his style of play was relatively simple. A breakthrough was a breakthrough, and a shot was a shot. This time Li Ran switched between breakthrough and shooting very well.

Li Ran like this is terrifying. His breakthrough efficiency this season ranks second in the league, second only to James, and even higher than Wade, Iverson, Kobe and other breakthrough experts.

If his shooting ability is fully developed, the Lakers will face an unsolvable situation.

An Anthony is difficult enough to deal with. If you add Li Ran, who is as lethal as Anthony, no team will be able to beat the Nuggets offensively.

You know, not only Anthony and Li Ran, but also Billups and O'Neal are offensive points with extremely high scoring efficiency. They also have JR Smith, the best sixth man, on their bench.

Phil Jackson looked at Li Ran who was in a fiery state, and subconsciously frowned.

Li Ran's performance in the previous games was stable enough. At least without Li Ran, the Nuggets would definitely not lead 3-1 now.

But in this match, Li Ran's performance could no longer be described as stable.

Simply terrifying.

But Phil Jackson didn't have any countermeasures. It was already the best choice for Kobe to defend Li Ran. If Ariza was replaced, then Kobe would definitely suffer when facing Anthony's low position, which is superior in tonnage and height.

Even during the half-quarter substitution adjustment, Phil Jackson replaced Odom in advance, wanting to try the effect of Odom defending Li Ran.

But that didn't help either.

When some players feel good, the basket is as wide as the sea in his eyes.

This is how Li Ran feels now.

Facing Odom's defense, Li Ran was like facing a cloud of air.

Sidestep mid-range shot, step back for three-pointers, make an emergency stop and change direction to break through.

Against the backdrop of Li Ran, Odom looked like a clumsy gorilla, at a loss.

Li Ran, who was in high spirits, even showed off a super long three-pointer just after the halfway line.

Facts have proved that after the touch comes, distance cannot be the reason to prevent you from scoring.

At the end of the first quarter, Kobe's face was very gloomy.

38-21, the Lakers fell behind by a full seventeen points in the first quarter.

The culprit was Li Ran.

李然第一节11投9中，三分4中3，罚球2中2，砍下了惊人的23分。

His scoring in this single quarter can rank No. 3 in the history of the NBA playoffs.

No.1 was created by Warriors player Slip Floyd when the Lakers played against the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals of the 1986-87 season.

He scored 29 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter to help the team overtake the Lakers and also won the team's only victory in that round of the series.

It is worth mentioning that he scored 51 points in the game and 39 points in the second half.

39 points in a half is still an NBA playoff record.

Ranked second is the Pistons' "Smiling Assassin" Isiah Thomas.

This time the background board is still the Lakers.

1987-889 season finals, Pistons VS Lakers.

In the G6 game, Thomas started to explode in the third quarter. After scoring 14 points in a row, he injured his ankle seriously and couldn't even stand up for a while.

In this case, he returned to the court after simple treatment and scored 11 points in the remaining time.

25 points in a single quarter is also the second scoring record in the playoffs.

那场比赛虽然托马斯砍下43分的个人季后赛最高得分，还有3篮板8助攻6抢断的数据，但是3-2领先的活塞最后依然102-103憾负湖人，被湖人将比分追成3-3，并且最后丢掉了总冠军。

After all, the Lakers lineup was too strong that year, with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Irving Johnson and Michael Thompson as the top picks, as well as "Iron Man" AC Green, Michael Cooper and others. Titans.

Michael Thompson is Buddha Clay's father.

Today, Li Ran scored 6 points in the first quarter against the Lakers in Game 23 of the Western Conference Finals, setting a single-quarter scoring record for an active player in the playoffs.
