Chapter 213 Li Ranxin's Offensive Skill Package
One on both sides is the Black Mamba, who is proud of the league, a hall-level super scorer.

The other is a second-year supernova ready to indulge and be his own Grizzly core.

The two of them fought against each other, and the happiest ones were undoubtedly the fans watching the match on the spot and in front of the TV.

Li Ran's unreasonable breakthrough caused the fans on the sidelines to exclaim from time to time.

Bryant has repeatedly used his textbook offense to fight back.

Kobe's biggest advantage over Li Ran is comprehensiveness.

Breakthrough, mid-range shot, post-up, three-pointer. . .

Relatively speaking, Li Ran was more restricted because of his relatively single style of play.

Although there have been bright moments with great dunks, it is impossible for him to perform at that level with every ball.

After all, Yao Ming and Dajia are two tall towers standing on the inside of the Lakers.

Even if the two of them do nothing, just standing there with their hands outstretched is a threat.

On the other hand, Kobe should not play too comfortably against the Grizzlies' perimeter defense.

It's too easy to bypass Li Ran's defense, only the most common pick-and-roll is needed to complete the switch.

What the Lakers played in this game was not the most common pick-and-roll between inside and outside, but a pick-and-roll between Artest and Kobe.

This is the strategy formulated by Phil Jackson before the game.

The Lakers' outside trio are Blake, Kobe and Artest.

The Grizzlies' outside trio is Curry, Ke 6 and Li Ran.

In this comparison, there is a very interesting thing.

It is known that Li Ran is playing against Kobe, so what are the other two matchups?
Whether it's Artest vs. Crawford, or Artest vs. Curry, it's a proper dislocation on the offensive end.

It was precisely because of this matter that Kobe and Artest's pick-and-roll made Li Ran restrained.

If Li Ran chooses to overblock, Kobe will pass the ball without hesitation and hit Artest's dislocation.

If the defense is switched normally, then Kobe's side is a small misalignment.

Relying on such a small routine before the game, the Lakers got a small advantage in the first quarter.

But as a famous NCAA coach, how could Calipari fail to see such a simple tactical trap.

He immediately made corresponding arrangements.

Replaced Crawford, replaced Turkoglu.

Don't you like playing misplaced?
Then I use the Turkish striker to deal with Artest.

Now, the two teams once again fell into a delicate balance on the scene.

"This kind of game is already at the level of the playoffs?"

In the TNT studio, Buckley touched his shiny bald head and asked Kenny Smith next to him.

"It's not just an ordinary playoffs, at least it's at the level of the division semifinals or even the division finals."

Kenny Smith said solemnly.

"However, Yao and Paul still have a lot of restrictions on Lee. If the game continues like this, the Grizzlies will still suffer a bit."

Barkley's career can also be called omnipotent, rebounding, scoring, assists, and even three-pointers have two brushes.

Only because of the height limitation, his ability to protect the frame is very average.

Career average is only 0.8 blocks per game.

So what he envied most were seven-footers like Yao Ming and Pau Gasol.

Li Ran's breakthrough failed again under the restrictions of Yao Ming. The first quarter was about to end. Kobe finally made a strong three-pointer and missed. The score was fixed at 25-31, and the Grizzlies trailed by six points.

Li Ran made 10 of 4 shots in the first quarter. It was very rare that his shooting percentage did not exceed 12%. In addition to free throws, he scored 4 points and [-] rebounds.

科比则11投6中，三分3中2，罚球3中3，砍下17分2篮板。

Looks like Kobe has a slight advantage.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Lakers' inside twin towers are the real key to their lead in the first quarter.

The first thing Kobe and Li Ran did after leaving the field was to pull a towel to cover their heads. The director was also very professional. He cut the screen to show the two of them respectively.

Li Ran was panting heavily, but his face was full of excitement.

He hasn't played so well for a long time. Although Yao Ming and Gasol rewarded him with a big pot, the feeling of using offense to win is really cool.

On the other side, although Kobe is also sweating profusely, his expression is also very relaxed.

He enjoys this game very much.

"Li, you need to change your style of play. Such a single offensive method is too easy for opponents to target."

Calipari still wanted to win, he came to Li Ran and said seriously.

Li Ran was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Even if Calipari doesn't say anything, he will take the initiative to seek changes, because it is true that there is no chance of winning if the fight continues like this.

After thinking about the special training he had recently conducted in the system space, Li Ran clenched his fists.

Li Ran's current ability point is basically at the critical point of being overdrawn and about to be overdrawn.

Because there were a lot of recovery potions left in the recent lottery draws, Li Ran gritted his teeth and decided to do simulated training as long as his ability points reached [-].

And this season, after developing his defensive ability, Li Ran is expanding his arsenal. He needs a scoring method that can play a role in regular time.

After much deliberation, Li Ran thought of the famous stunt of a certain player in later generations.

So he began to carry out special training for this skill in the system space, and it is still showing initial results.

Just when Li Ran decided to take out his secret weapon, he didn't notice that Kobe on the other side was looking at him.

"This kid, his footwork is getting better and better now." Recalling the fight between the two in the first quarter, Li Ran's footsteps are becoming more and more clear when he breaks through.

From Kobe's point of view, Li Ran has this kind of talent, so it's a pity not to practice low backs.

What Kobe didn't know was that the new technique that Li Ran was going to show in front of him in the second quarter happened to be related to footwork.

In other words, the footwork is just an improvement that comes with this offensive skill of his.

In the second quarter, Calipari rarely made any personnel adjustments. Even Phil Jackson replaced Yao Ming and replaced Odom.

Calipari also wanted to know what new things Li Ran had learned.

Li Ran didn't deliberately show off. In the first attack of the second quarter, he used his new skills.

Kobe looked at Li Ran who shot from beyond the three-point line with disbelief.

"Just praised him for his clean steps, how could he make such a low-level mistake?"

This is Kobe's idea.

but. . .

"Hey? Why didn't the referee blow the whistle?"

Kobe suddenly turned his head to look at the referee who was very close to the two of them, but Kobe found that the referee was also suspicious of life at this time, with the whistle in his mouth, but he never blew it.

The Lakers players also thought that the ball was a mistake by Li Ran, who was hard-working, and were about to wait for the referee to invalidate the three-pointer before serving.

Wait, wait, why didn't the referee blow his whistle?
