I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 182 I'm in a Hurry
After the news of Li Ran's trade to Memphis was confirmed, who was the happiest?
Be a Memphis fan!

Li Ran and Rose brought the NCAA championship trophy to the University of Memphis, which accumulated a large fan base for him.

Considering that the University of Memphis didn't even make it to the NCAA Finals last year, Li Ran's reputation in Memphis has risen instead of falling.

The day after the deal was announced, Li Ran's Memphis jersey was on store shelves.

It didn't last a day before it was sold out.

In addition, Kaliapa, the champion coach, also agreed to come to Memphis. For a while, Memphis fans believed that the Grizzlies would soon usher in their first championship trophy.

Kaliapa agreed to Cole to coach the Grizzlies entirely out of the face of Li Ran and Curry.

Because for NCAA coaches, they rarely choose to go to the NBA.

Acclimatization is the biggest reason, Pitino back then is the best example.

But since there is Li Ran, there is no reason for Kaliapa not to give it a try.

If he succeeds, wouldn't he be a rare NCAA and NBA double champion coach?
It doesn't matter even if it doesn't succeed, the big deal is to continue to return to the NCAA to dominate, anyway, the price offered by the Grizzlies can be considered generous.

In addition, there is another thing. It may be because of Li Ran, the butterfly, that the Grizzlies changed their boss three years in advance.

Michael Heisley, the trade-in owner, sold the team to Robert Pera, a young, exuberant Silicon Valley entrepreneur, for $2.2 million.

The league just passed the deal not long ago.

Robert Pera was born in 1977 and is only 32 years old now.

Cole became the general manager of the Grizzlies so quickly, and the Grizzlies acquired Li Ran with such a rich bargaining chip so smoothly, thanks to Robert Pera.

To put it bluntly, he is a Li Ran fan.

In addition to computers and technology, Robert Pera is also an avid basketball enthusiast.

In later generations, after the acquisition of the Grizzlies in 12, Robert Pera publicly shouted to Jordan in 13 that he would donate $100 million to charity regardless of whether he wins or loses.

It's just that Mr. Qiao didn't like him, and directly and publicly refused.

Although the league issued conditions such as "the Grizzlies must not move out of Memphis within 15 years", as an avid basketball fan, Robert Pera agreed without hesitation.

Let's put it this way, Robert Pera is in a period of great development in his career, and the company is facing a critical moment of going public. He will also set aside 4-5 hours a week to play basketball. His love for basketball can be seen.

In addition, there is a person who is so excited that he has to call Li Ran every day to chat.

Stephen Curry.

Curry originally thought that when he went to the Grizzlies, he would start as Conley's substitute. Although he was confident in his own strength, it would not be very comfortable for anyone to start as the second place.

Unexpectedly, Li Ran fell from the sky.

Not to mention being able to play with Li Ran, the team sent Conley away and helped him back up.

Li Ran has no time to listen to his younger brother's flattery now.

He is currently training with the national team.

When he walked into the training hall with Ah Lian Yao Ming, all eyes were on him.

Li Ran looked at a room full of familiar faces he had seen on TV every day in his previous life, and his heart was calm.

To put it bluntly, his coffee position is bigger than all these people in the restaurant combined.

And this year's Asian Championships, Yao Ming was originally absent.

But because of Li Ran's recovery potion, Yao Ming was not only not injured, but also played the best season of his career.

In fact, with Yao Ming here, it doesn't matter if Li Ran comes to this Asian Championship.

Originally, they narrowly lost to Saudi Arabia in the final. With Yao Ming in the lead, the champion will not be left behind anyway.

However, Li Ran came to stand up.

No one thought that the Huaxia men's basketball team would lose the Asian Championship championship at home.

This Asian Championship was played in Tianjin, and it was indeed held in front of our house.

Some people even think that even if those who play in the NBA don't come back, the men's basketball team will win the championship in this competition.

Li Ran could only laugh at this.

In the previous life, he was roughly injured. Ah Lian only returned to China at the end of July, and Yao Ming was also injured.

In this way, the Chinese team entered the final smoothly.

However, when everyone is optimistic that the men's basketball team can win the championship at home, Saudi center Al-Hadadi suppressed the combination of FireWire's comeback and the UAE's inside line, and the outside line was also guarded by Saudi players.

In this way, an 18-point defeat at home, and only 52 points in the game, became a lingering shadow in the hearts of the fans.

What's more, before the award ceremony after the game, some players were still talking and laughing at Yan Yan on the sidelines. Some of them laughed so hard that they couldn't see their eyes.

Some fans said that it was because they had played match-fixing, and they were going to work together to get rid of the then head coach Guo Guidance.

Zhu Ba, who fell into the center of public opinion, was also the one who laughed the happiest. He explained it like this after the game.

"The situation that day was like this. That day I said that I got all the second places, second in the league, second in the National Games, second in the Asian Games, and now I even got second in the Asian Championships. If I can win the World Championships I won a Grand Slam with the second Olympic Games, but this remark attracted their ridicule. They said to me: 'Dream it, let's talk about it in the next life.'”

But this explanation does not satisfy the fans.

Not to mention anything else, the lack of honor is real.

The movement of Ah Lian covering his face with his hands when receiving the silver medal on the podium formed a sharp contrast with them.

"Yo, isn't this the new FMVP?"

Seeing Li Ran coming in, some players immediately spoke up, with a smile on their faces that could not tell whether they had good intentions or ulterior motives.

He is none other than Sun Dasheng who was supposed to get a ring with the Lakers.

Li Ran felt that although the great sage in the previous life had a good career in love and career, with his historical physical talent in the outside line of the yellow race, he should have had a better career.

pity. . .

Mourn its misfortune.

I am even more angry!

Li Ran didn't have time to chat with them, he directly came to the players who were chatting in groups.

"My name is Li Ran. You should all know me. From now on, I will be the absolute outside core of the team. If you are dissatisfied, you can stand up now. I am in a hurry. I will fight after the fight. Whether it is playing or fighting, I will accompany you." .”

There was an eerie silence in the training hall for a while.

Zhu Ba, Du Feng and Sun Dasheng exchanged glances calmly, and in the end, Sun Dasheng, who was the most detached, came out.

"I just want to know, what is the level of this person who won the FMVP before the age of 20, why don't you let me experience it first?"

With a handsome face, Sun Dasheng looked at Li Ran with a smile on his face and said.
