I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 172

The Nuggets still continued the previous game in this game. The main purpose of tactics is still to cut off the connection between Howard and the outside shooters.

Moreover, don't think that if Yi Jianlian is replaced, the Nuggets will speed up.

On the contrary, after Yi Jianlian replaced Mason, the pace of the Nuggets' game was even faster than the previous one.

For the Magic shooters, if someone is willing to fight against them in the regular season, they will definitely be happy.

A faster pace means more shots, better data, and bigger contracts.

But now it's the finals!

Winning is the only goal. Even if you only score one point and the team wins, it is better than scoring 50 points and losing.

Nelson received a pass from Turkoglu and forced a shot against Billups.

There is no way, time is running out.

He played the peak performance of his career this season, shooting 45% of his three-pointers in the regular season.

It's just that the ball only touched the rim a little and then bounced to the side.

After all, Billups was defending him.

Nelson's height is only 1.8 meters three, and he is also short for the position of point guard.

Billups is 1.9 meters tall, and he is born with defensive genes in his bones.

No way, they came out of Pistons.

Li Ran jumped out quickly, grabbed the defensive rebound before Howard, and then rushed to the frontcourt with the ball.

Sparks has tried his best to return to the defense, and the other Magic players are running faster one by one.

But it didn't work.

After Li Ran entered the three-point line, he gave the ball to Billups who was already standing on the wing.

Because the Magic players who returned to defense were already standing in front of him, waiting for him. . .

Billups shot from outside the three-point line and made a steady hit.

This offense and defense completely established the advantage of the Nuggets, and the Magic fell behind again.

Behind Lewis, who was running without the ball, Ah Lian strode forward and chased after him.

In this game, the reason why the Nuggets were able to go more smoothly than the previous game, the attitude of the Arab League is a very important factor.

He cherishes the opportunity of this finals very much, and he is very desperate on both ends of the offense and defense.

Compared with Anthony, the UAE's defense against Lewis is significantly better, and the two are similar in all aspects.

Li Ran has always believed that the upper limit of the UAE in the league is Lewis.

Anthony returned to the third position, and there is no problem with the Turkish striker.

His current position in the Nuggets is a bit like the king of poker.

He is reluctant to make a move easily, as long as he makes a move, he will play more than any other card from his opponent.

In the past two seasons, Anthony's offensive skills have been perfected, and his scoring ability is undoubtedly the top in the league.

It's just about defense, everyone knows this.

In terms of the talent needed for defense, Anthony has everything he should have, but what does that say?

The most important thing in defense is attitude.

It's a pity that for Anthony, he obviously puts more energy into the offensive end than the defensive end.

Fortunately, Li Ran wiped his ass.

Statistics show that Li Ran has made great contributions to the Nuggets' offense and defense this season, especially the defense.

The Nuggets have a defensive rating of 106.5 when he's off the court, but a 98.7 when he's on.
This means that when Li Ran is on the court, the Nuggets lose 8 points per [-] rounds.

Otherwise, George Karl would not dare to push him boldly to the fifth position.

In this game, Li Ran's strategy against Howard was still very three-dimensional.

Li Ran used all the methods available, including going forward, defending, double-teaming, and drawing fouls.

Huo Hua's brain capacity obviously does not allow him to understand Li Ran's complex and diverse defensive methods. What he likes most is wrestling with others, and then throwing the ball to the basket with a discus-like hook.

Or eat cakes, as a well-known cake front in the league, Sparks has a unique ability to eat cakes.

But the Magic lacks a passer like Paul or Nash, and the passing ability of Nelson and Turkoglu is not enough to turn the lob into a regular offensive method for the Magic.

In the second game, the Magic's disadvantage increased again.

The data of Sparks is still rising steadily. At the end of the half, he scored another 23 points. In this game, his scoring has reached 40 points.

But the Magic are still 11 points behind.

The Magic know that passing all the balls to Howard is drinking poison to quench their thirst, but they have only one way.

If they don't fight like this, they will collapse faster.

Sparks got stuck in Li Ran's position, grabbed the offensive rebound, and dunked the ball in the air without even landing.

After landing, Huo Hua was very excited, and ran to the backcourt with a big grin.

Li Ran shook his head.

With this kind of mentality, being able to reach the finals as the core of the team is already a piece of shit luck.

Although the lack of strength in the lower body is his biggest shortcoming, it is not an excuse for his inability to develop low-post skills.

Both Ewing and Olajuwon have taught him low-post skills, but this guy just can't practice it.

This is the case with purely relying on talent to play, which directly leads to back injuries and disappears overnight.

In Li Ran's view, the real talent monster should be O'Neill, with invincible strength, proficient low-level skills, and a durable body.

Looking at the four major centers, which one does not meet all the above conditions at the same time.

This round of the series can be said to be the most tiring for Li Ran, but the easiest for the Nuggets.

O'Neal was dressed in a suit and sat on the sidelines with a cane to cheer for his teammates.

He also had a hunch that his fifth championship would not be too far away.

Although there was no way to play in the finals, at least he contributed to the team in the playoffs, didn't he?

The old shark took this ring with peace of mind.

In the second game, the Nuggets still won without any surprises. Howard still scored high points, but the Magic, which was out of touch inside and outside, had no way to fight against the Nuggets.

Howard had 37 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks in this game, but Li Ran, who was facing him, was not far behind. Li Ran's three-pointers in this game were ridiculously accurate, 8 of 6 shots, and 13 of 7 two-pointers. Among them, 5 of 5 free throws, also scored 37 points, and 16 rebounds were recorded. Looking at the data, it is the data of a standard big center. Center Li is well-deserved.

Seeing Li Ran's data, Big Van Gundy's face darkened.

This is playing wool, and if you continue to play like this, you won't even have an advantage in the only matchup that has an advantage.

The Magic returned to Orlando with a score of 0-2. They have come to the edge of the cliff. If they can't win back a victory at their home court, the score of 0-3 can already declare their failure.

After all, even in the era when Li Ran traveled back, there was no precedent for the league to come back from a 0-3 deficit.

George Karl still hasn't changed, but in the first game in Orlando, the Nuggets lost.

It's just that although the Nuggets lost this game, no one would think that there will be any changes in the final result of this round of the series.

This is because there is no way for the Magic to play another game like G3.
