I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 187 One Person, One Section, One Team

Faster than the ball is a shadow.

This shadow was wearing a fiery red shirt, with a big number 0 dancing in the wind behind him.

Li Ran grabbed the ball in front of everyone and shot towards the Saudi team's backcourt like a sharp arrow.

The one closest to Li Ran is none other than Behrami, the number one small forward in Asia.

Seeing Li Ran pushing back, he immediately chased him back.

But a scene that made him despair happened.

He ran without the ball, and it was almost as good as Li Ran who ran with the ball.

It wasn't until after halftime that Behrami, who was chasing back with all his strength, would catch up with Li Ran.

However, the next second, Li Ran unexpectedly stopped outside the three-point line.

Behrami, who was chasing Li Ran with all his strength, couldn't stop the car at all, and even used the handbrake to stop near the free throw line in embarrassment.

He lay on the ground, watching Li Ran easily take off from outside the three-point line.

At this moment, Li Ran seemed to understand why Anthony and Durant were called FIBA ​​killers.

FIBA's [-]-point line position, which happens to be their favorite long-distance two-point position one step inside the NBA [-]-point line.

This kind of mid-range shot, which is the most proficient in the NBA, counts as three-pointers in FIBA. . .

After throwing the ball, Li Ran ran back without looking back.

Behind him, the ball was hollowed into the net, causing enthusiastic cheers from the entire audience.

"After Li Ran came on the field with an injury, the Huaxia team has gained momentum." The commentator said excitedly.

"Yes, with two offenses and one defense, the Huaxia team has narrowed the point difference to 12 points. Let's see what the Saudi team will do next."

With these two offenses and one defense, Li Ran directly exploded the internal and external core of Saudi Arabia - Haddadi and Behrami.

The Saudi team didn't know how to play.

But no matter how you fight, just avoid this monster.

After patiently passing the ball, Saudi finally found a good opportunity in the bottom corner and made a mid-range shot.

But the ball missed.

It doesn't matter if you don't score, the Saudi team has an absolute advantage inside this game.

Haddadi firmly stuck the newly injured Big Zhi behind him, ready to compete for this offensive rebound.

How could Li Ran give him this chance!
I saw Li Ran rushing into the inner line and jumping high, like a roc spreading its wings, grabbing the ball abruptly on top of Haddadi who had already jumped up, with a talent for picking peaches.

After landing, Li Ran didn't even look at the striker who reached out to ask for it, and he didn't pay attention to who it was.

Dribbling the ball across the half-court, Li Ran didn't slow down at all when facing Behrami's early defensive position, he just used a back change to completely leave him behind.

How could Haddadi return to defense so quickly, Li Ran, who had entered the inside line, saw no one in front of him.

Leaping up again, Li Ran rounded the ball and smashed it into the basket as if venting his anger. After landing, Zhang Yang raised his arms and roared.

His ferocious expression was faithfully recorded by the photographer.

In an instant, only 10 points were left after being chased by Li Ran alone.

And the fourth quarter has just started less than 2 minutes.

In 2 minutes, Li Ran scored 7 points in a row.

The Saudi coach looked at Li Ran in disbelief, and then at Yao Ming who was sitting on the bench.

There was only one player of this level in Huaxia before, Yao Ming.

But now, it seems that there is another even more terrifying existence!

Facing the gradually rising Huaxia men's basketball team, the Saudi team gradually became disorganized. The defensive system they were proud of was like paper in front of Li Ran, and it would be broken with a poke.

"This defensive pressure is so familiar."

Yao Ming looked at the Saudi player who dropped the ball under Li Ran's pressure, and muttered.

It's the feeling an all-out dream team gives their opponents.

The sense of oppression is so strong that it is almost suffocating, and it is extremely difficult to dribble.

However, that was the defense played by the high-post dream team with the cooperation of the whole team.

Facing Saudi Arabia, Li Ran put so much pressure on himself!

Under the performance of Li Ran, who is like a demon god, the 17-point difference that looked like a moat quickly melted away like ice and snow in the sun.

In just half a quarter, Li Ran evened out the 17-point difference.

In this half of the quarter, Li Ran scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks alone, without assists!
He single-handedly blew up the entire Saudi team!
After being equalized, the Saudi team began to sleepwalk.

Their fighting will has never been strong, and it is better to play the downwind ball, but the headwind ball is like putting a layer of shackles on their gloves.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, the Huaxia team had taken a full ten-point lead. No one would think that Saudi Arabia still had a chance to come back. The game had actually entered garbage time.

李然单节砍下35分9篮板2助攻4抢断4盖帽，两次助攻分别成就了阿联和大郅的一个三分球。

The two of them are the two most worthy of winning this game.

大致全场出战35分钟砍下30分11篮板，阿联砍下17分9篮板，除了他们两个和李然之外，华夏男篮这场比赛没有任何一人得分超过5分。

In the end, the Huaxia men's basketball team defeated Saudi Arabia 87-72 at home.

In fact, it is more accurate to put it another way. Li Ran ended the suspense of the game in a single quarter by himself.

In the fourth quarter, under the performance of Li Ran, the Huaxia men's basketball team beat Saudi Arabia by a full 32 points in a single quarter.

After the game, Li Ran got the MVP trophy as a matter of course.

But he didn't celebrate with the team at all, leaving the game with a positive MVP trophy and a gold medal.

Yao Ming looked at the team members who were wearing gold medals around their necks and smiling brilliantly, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart.

This gold medal is taken for granted by them, but this gold medal has nothing to do with them.

The Asian Championships are over, and the time has come to the end of August. It's time for Li Ran to return to the United States and report to the team.

Moreover, after returning, the Grizzlies' lineup still needs him and Cole to study and polish together.

After all, only the starting lineup for next season is set up now, and how to strengthen the substitute lineup still needs to be carefully considered.

It has been three days since arriving in Memphis, and Li Ran went directly to Cole's temporarily rented apartment.

He also made an appointment with his mentor, Kaliapa, and the three were ready to discuss how to sign the contract.

Next season, the Grizzlies will most likely start with Gasol, Randolph, Li Ran, Iverson and Curry.

On the bench are Yi Jianlian, Gortat and Darrell Arthur.

Darrell Arthur is the main center of the University of Kansas team that Li Ran defeated in the NCAA finals. He entered the league at the same time as Li Ran. Last year, he played 76 games and started 63 games. He averaged 19.8 minutes per game and scored 5.6+4.6.

These eight people are all the Grizzlies' current contract players.

The remaining seven positions still need a few of them to discuss carefully.

The three first started with the salaries of the eight, and were going to calculate how much salary space the Grizzlies could use this season.
