I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 221 Not very good at fighting, add one
He came to Ross's house with ease, and it was Ross' elder brother who opened the door for Li Ran.

When he saw Li Ran, he didn't show any surprise, even though Li Ran didn't notify him of his arrival in advance.

The gangster in Chicago let Li Ran in with a smile.

With Rose as his backing, his two older brothers' "business" has grown bigger and bigger in the past two years, and they have also become prominent figures in Chicago.

Ross was lying on the sofa watching TV, and he didn't get up when he saw Li Ran coming in. He just asked lazily, "Where's Taylor?"

"I'm busy, I'm the only one left."

Ross nodded, then ignored Li Ran, and continued to watch his own TV.

At the corner, Rose's second brother was decorating the Christmas tree with his father. When they saw Li Ran, they all smiled and greeted Li Ran affectionately.

Li Ran looked at Rose, who was not in the mood, and vaguely guessed why.

The Bulls just lost last night. They lost an away game to the Knicks, who can be bullied by everyone.

Rose scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, but lost seven points under the explosion of Knicks substitute Al Harrington.

Li Ran ignored him, and went to the corner to decorate the Christmas tree with his father and son.

"Li, are you aiming for the MVP this season?"

Rose's elder brother had a smile on his fleshy face, and he asked Li Ran with a grin.

Li Ran smiled: "In the future, Derek and I will book the MVP. I will come this year and replace him next year."

The father and son laughed at the same time.

"What are you laughing at, why can't it be me?"

Rose lazily came behind the few people, and said with an unconvinced expression.

Several people continued to laugh.

"Look at Li's stats this year, and then look at yours."

Rose's second brother clapped his hands and stood up, looking at his younger brother mockingly.

Ross fell silent.

李然打到现在，28场比赛场均25.6分15.1篮板2.1助攻3.1抢断3.3盖帽，灰熊更是在赢了掘金之后重回西部第二的位置，在这个赛季的MVP排名上一直稳居第一。

Although Rose has made great progress compared to last season, averaging 20.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, he is still far behind Li Ran.

Knowing that his statistics are not comparable to Li Ran's, and his record is even worse, Ross can only silently recite in his heart the words of 30 years in Hexi and 30 years in Hedong, don't bully young people and poor people. . .

The Bulls' record has improved this season, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference with 15 wins and 14 losses. It seems that the playoffs should be stable.

Several people packed up the Christmas tree, and Rose's mother Brenda also brought out a huge plate from the kitchen.

A turkey dinner is of course indispensable on Christmas Eve.

The brothers opened red wine and sat at the table, enjoying the warm Christmas Eve atmosphere together.

"Lee, Derek, we are proud of you two, keep going."

Rose's father raised the cup to Rose and Li Ran, and everyone raised the cup.

"cheers!"

After eating, the slightly drunk Li Ran and Rose collapsed on the sofa together.

The eldest brother, who might not have had enough, sat next to the two of them with a beer in his hand.

The two brothers, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, sipped beer and chatted without saying a word.

"Li, why is every team you go to so strong?" Rose suddenly asked a little strangely.

"Because I have good eyesight."

Li Ran froze for a moment, and said half-truth.

"Then you also give advice to the Bulls? If this continues, when will I be able to defeat the Magic and the Cavaliers?"

Rose is under a lot of pressure right now.

And this pressure largely came from Li Ran.

Li Ran won the championship and the FMVP in his rookie season, which made Rose, who thought he was not inferior to him, very anxious.

However, the current lineup of the Bulls has not yet been rebuilt. There are two mountains in front of James' Cavaliers and Howard's Magic. Rose is very confused.

"Derek, first of all, you need to know that there are prerequisites for me to go to the Grizzlies this season. Steve promised me to let me intervene in the management of the team. You know this."

Li Ran said to Ross seriously.

Rose nodded: "I know, but I think I can have the same status as you."

"Then ask me after you have settled with the management."

Li Ran waved his hand.

It's not that he doesn't want to help Rose, but that the Bulls' current lineup doesn't have much room for reinforcement.

Their salary cap has reached, and the full middle class has been used. What players can be signed with the basic salary?

And now there are no leftover jewels, and if there are any, Li Ran would have searched for the grizzly bear long ago.

"However, this year you ask the management to clean up the salary space, and there will be a lot of big fish in the free market next year. Maybe you can fool James into the Bulls."

Ross scoffed.

Are you kidding me, James will leave Gilbert who treats him as his own son?
Will leave the Cavaliers?

But that's the end of this topic, Ross just asked casually, and didn't expect Li Ran to give him any constructive suggestions.

After the brothers chatted for a while, Li Ran went upstairs and returned to his room.

That's right, Ross's house has always had a room exclusively for Li Ran.

After talking on the phone with Taylor for a while, Li Ran fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Ran got up from the bed.

He went out for a run first, and then went to the court in the backyard to practice casually.

During the practice, the Ross brothers also came.

"Come on, have a bullfight."

Li Ran threw the ball to Rose. Of course, Rose would not show weakness and simply stood in front of Li Ran.

Under the watchful eyes of his two older brothers, Li Ran started a bullfight with Ross.

Rose's breakthrough became more and more ghostly. Even Li Ran struggled to defend, and he accidentally scored three in a row.

However, on the fourth ball, Li Ran finally seized the opportunity and stretched out his long arms behind Ross to press his layup on the backboard, which caused cheers and whistles from the two brothers.

Next, Li Ran didn't give Rose a chance, and scored five goals in a row, turning defeat into victory.

"Why is your defense so strong all of a sudden?"

Ross sat on the ground a little dejectedly, looking at Li Ran who was smiling.

"Talent, no way."

"I don't agree, come again."

Rose got up from the ground, and the two continued their bullfight.

In the end, it ended with Li Ran winning 3-2.

The elder brother and the second brother who watched itching couldn't sit still.

"There's nothing to do today, let's go out and play wild ball."

The eldest brother's proposal aroused the unanimous approval of everyone, so they drove to the nearest field field.

Today is Christmas, but there are quite a few people on the field, and six people are playing 3V3 on the field.

Seeing Li Ran and Rose getting off the car, followed by two burly men, the stadium immediately fell silent.

Immediately someone recognized these two popular NBA fried chickens.

"Isn't that Rose and Li Ran?"

"Hey, I'm not very good at fighting, add one."

Li Ran strode forward, and said with a smile the very famous phrase in later generations.
