I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 205 Smash
In the second quarter, Calipari replaced Iverson and Millsap with Turkoglu and Yi Jianlian.

The reason why he didn't score 6 was because Li Ran still stayed on the court.

It's time for Li Ran to move around.

"Nice job, Paul!"

Calipari patted Millsap on the back and smiled at him.

Mi Shen smiled shyly.

In the first quarter, it was his defense against Nowitzki that allowed the Grizzlies to establish a lead.

When he came to the field, Li Ran didn't hold the ball immediately.

In the first quarter, Curry, who was playing high, was feeling hot, and Li Ran didn't force the right to return to the main attack, but actively helped Curry with pick-and-roll and wall-run tactics.

Within 2 minutes, Curry scored another five points.

Curry, who was addicted to the main attack, had a conversation with Li Ran.

"Lee, come here."

Curry felt that he was under more and more defensive pressure, and now he needed Li Ran's support.

Now in the Grizzlies team, the most stable offense is not Curry, Iverson, or Randolph, but Li Ran, who is focusing on defense this season.

His breakthrough skills have become more and more proficient, and he has even stabilized Iverson during team training.

Compared to Li Ran, Iverson's size was his biggest shortcoming. Even though he was nearly [-] centimeters taller than Iverson, Li Ran's flexibility and agility were not inferior to him at all.

Curry's active performance in the second quarter gave the Mavericks some illusions, that is——

In the second quarter, the core of the Grizzlies' offense is still this baby-faced defender.

Rick Carlisle didn't realize it until Li Ran tore through the Mavericks' defense with the ball and completed a beautiful dunk over the head of their substitute center Brandon Haywood.

"It's really tricky, this guy popped out again."

In the first quarter, Li Ran's desire to perform was not strong, making Carlisle mistakenly think that he is not in good condition today.

Who knew, after switching to Li Ran's main attack in the second quarter, his performance was still so stable, and he opened the point difference to more than ten points in an instant.

Curry and Li Ran's unintentional small combo made the Mavericks fall into a greater passive position on the scene.

After a 4-minute break, the German king appeared on stage again.

As soon as he played, he used two unreasonable three-pointers to close the score.

There are several players in the current NBA who can't defend at all.

Kobe Bryant bears the brunt, and the venom of the Black Mamba is deadly to any team.

Then there is the stone Buddha in the holy city, he can always hit the ball above your head in the simplest and most unadorned way.

The oriental giant Yao Ming is also one of them. His height and soft touch unique to orientals make him undefendable on the court.

Can you defend against a 2-meter-26 big man who plays fadeaways over your head?
Obviously not.

Next, is the German king who has been criticized for his soft style of play.

His medium and long-range shooting ability, combined with his physical advantage and shooting style, make it impossible for people to defend.

Next, O'Neal counts as half and Iverson counts as half. They no longer have the dominance they had at their peak.

However, it is now recognized in the league that Li Ran is the most likely to inherit Iverson's position that cannot be defended.

His breakthrough style is very similar to that of Iverson, coupled with his height advantage, it caused headaches for everyone who faced him.

The wave of counterattack that Dirk Nowitzki set off after he came on the court was soon met with a strong counterattack by Li Ran.

Li Ran faced Terry's defense.

The Jets have two brushes on offense, but on defense. . .

Taking advantage of Nowitzki's inattention, Li Ran went around behind him, stretched out his long arms to break the ball, then dived forward, lying on the floor, and gave the ball to Curry.

Curry received the ball and pushed forward to counterattack. Li Ran quickly got up from the ground to participate in the attack.

Along with Turkoglu.

The Mavericks have only Terry alone.

He stared blankly at the scene in front of him, not knowing what to do for a while.

On the left side in front of him, Curry advances with the ball at high speed, and on the right is Turkoglu who runs without the ball.

"How to prevent..."

Terry feels that he can't defend against anyone. If he goes to Curry, Turkoglu will catch the ball and make an empty basket.

Go guard Turkoglu. . .

He has no ball in his hand. . .

Terry, who was hesitating, ignored one of the deadliest people.

Li Ran ran behind the two of them like a leopard.

Terry finally made a decision to give priority to defending players with the ball.

Sure enough, Curry pushed the ball to Turkoglu as he thought.

Terry turned immediately, and this defensive strategy was also a feint of his.

However, Turkoglu didn't force a layup or pass the ball back to Curry as he expected.

He just jumped up and gently threw the ball into the sky.

Terry stood there at a loss. He lost his defensive target in an instant, leaving only the basketball in the sky that he couldn't reach.

Then, Terry's eyes went dark, and a figure like a big bird appeared in front of his eyes.

What caught his eyes was a big number 0 that was rising rapidly!
Li Ran took off with both feet, and grabbed the basketball with one hand in the air. His eyes were normal to the basket, and he didn't even look at Jason Terry, who was standing under him trembling. He dunked the ball into the basket with an extremely flamboyant tomahawk .

Poor Terry felt a huge force hit him, and he flew backwards, and didn't stop until he hit the ball holder.

"Oh, Li Ran, he smashed Terry!"

In the studio, the TNT team, which was short of one talent, was explaining the game. Seeing this scene, Barkley fell back in disbelief, his eyes were as big as a bell, and he hugged the person next to him. Reggie Miller, shouted exaggeratedly.

After Li Ran landed, he stood on the spot and glanced at Terry who had already flown out of the bottom line.

Terry looked at Li Ran in horror.

"Is this a monster?"

The scene just now was almost exactly the same as the ball that James dunked Terry when the Heat played against the Mavericks a few years later.

However, that ball was more or less mixed with some competition factors, but Li Ran had no grudges with Terry.

Li Ran, who pre-booked today's top ten goals, greatly boosted the morale of the team with this beautiful goal.

At the end of the second quarter, Li Ran, who played the full half of the court, had already raised his score to 15 points, and also scored 7 rebounds by the way.

For these top scorers in the Grizzlies, scoring more than a dozen points in a single quarter is an extremely normal thing.

It's as simple as eating and drinking.

The Grizzlies firmly held the advantage and firmly grasped the initiative of the game.

In the third quarter, Calipari finally dispatched Ke 6 who had held back halftime.

As soon as he played, Ke Liu used his signature jumping breakthrough to score an extremely aggressive goal.

Li Ran sat leisurely off the court.

"It's just a treat to watch this guy play, he just hits the ball really well."

He raised his eyebrows and said to Calipari who was sitting next to him.

Calipari nodded with a smile: "Yes, but your ball is also very good."

Li Ran knew how much his existence meant to the Grizzlies, and he was not humble, so he nodded in the same way.

"That's right, I'm hitting the ball too well."

After that, both master and apprentice laughed at the same time.
