I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 23 tit for tat
Li Ran looked at the UCLA players who were warming up on the other side of the field, and found that he had seen almost everyone on TV in his previous life.

The famous triple double king, the unprecedented brush god Wei Shao.

The image is comparable to a male model's two-pair machine Kevin Love.

The little prince Luke Ba Moute who has to go home to inherit the family business if he can't play well.

Darren Collison, a typical point guard from a sports family.

These people are now standing vividly opposite Li Ran, and Li Ran can hear their voices clearly.

"Kevin you fucking, I'm going to kick your ass."

"FXXK, be careful I won't pass you the ball later."

It's just that the content of their conversation made Li Ran's face black. Of course, seeing the smiles on their faces, Li Ran knew that this was just a way for them to express their feelings.

Soon, the warm-up time was over. Li Ran gave a thumbs up to the GDP trio who were still sitting on the court, lifted his ball pants, squatted down and tied his shoelaces again, and then jumped on the spot With two strokes, he strode onto the court.

The starting lineups for both teams have not changed.

UCLA is still Kevin Love, Luke Mbah a Moute, Josh Shipp, Russell Westbrook, and Darren Collison have played together for a season in the starting lineup.

Memphis is also tit for tat, Robert - Dozier, Joey - Dorsey, Li Ran, Chris - Douglas - Roberts, Derek - Rose all played.

"Get ready for the jump ball."

Following the referee's order, Li Ran stood in the middle circle without hesitation.

Seeing that Li Ran was going to jump the ball, not only Le Fu, who was standing opposite him, was dumbfounded, but even the audience and the commentator were dumbfounded.

Of course, Li Ran didn't do it on a whim. Before the game, he had pulled Joey Dorsey and Cui Wanjun to simulate jumping the ball many times.

In the end, Joey Dorsey, who was too tired to jump, had no choice but to admit defeat.

He knew that Li Ran's jumping was very good, and he was omnipotent on weekdays, but he didn't expect him to be so talented in jumping.

A pair of long arms perfectly made up for his height disadvantage, and his amazing bounce speed made Joey Dorsey, who is known as the little prince of the jump ball, feel inferior.

Let's put it this way, this season Joey Dorsey jumped the ball a total of 35 times and succeeded 26 times. However, under Li Ran's hands, he may not be able to win the ball once five times.

So, Li Ran stood opposite Le Fu.

He smiled at Le Fu, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, then took a stride and looked at the sky with a serious face.

The referee blew his whistle and the ball was thrown high into the sky.

Just as Le Fu took off, Li Ran was already waiting for him in the air.

With a flick of his long arm, the ball landed precisely in the hands of Rose who was standing behind him.

Rose obviously trusted Li Ran's jump ball level. After all, he also watched the jump ball battle between Li Ran and Joey Dorsey.

After receiving the ball, Rose didn't even have the idea of ​​waiting for his teammates to get in position. He patted the ball forward and put it in fifth gear in an instant.

At this time, Love is still in a mess in the wind in the middle circle, and the other UCLA players have not yet settled down.

The only one who returned to defense was Westbrook, who was hanging at the back. He jumped high in the reasonable collision zone to block Rose, but was swung by Rose with a large lever.

"In just two seconds of the opening, Rose opened the scoring for the Tigers. His speed is really fast, and Li Ran's jump ball is also very good. He directly put the ball into Rose's hands. More than half of the credit for this ball lies with Li Ran."

Wearing a suit, Hardaway, who continued to be the special guest, said in a somewhat excited tone.

The Tigers made a trick at the beginning, but UCLA didn't panic. Darren Collison dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. After a series of complicated moves, Westbrook lobbed the ball to Love inside.

Seeing the defender behind Love, Westbrook was overjoyed.

Le Fu beat Li Ran, isn't this UZI playing Kai'Sa and Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts?

Love, who holds the ball inside, thinks so too, but he knows better than Westbrook that this matchup is not a dislocation caused by tactical running.

Instead, Li Ran had his eye on him from the very beginning.

Love holds the ball and hits back. His biggest feature is his skilled post-up skills inside and his excellent mid-to-long-range shooting ability.

And the back play on the inside requires not only the dazzling fake moves and fast and clean footsteps of the low post singles on the outside, but strength is also very, very important.

A typical example is the fat man who just transferred from the Heat to the Suns this season and has entered the twilight of his career.

He is the best inside player who combines strength and skill in the entire NBA history, not one of them.

In terms of strength, Love is still relatively confident.

Li Ran was pushed hard by Le Fu and let out a muffled snort.

Although his strength is already the top choice among outside players, he still suffers from a purebred insider like Love.

"Fortunately, I can withstand it." Li Ran gritted his teeth and waited for Love's next attack.

Le Fu was a little surprised, Li Ran was pushed by him with all his strength, but he didn't lose his position.

He didn't panic, and continued to push the ball in while dribbling.

But immediately, Rose double-teamed, and he also blocked the passing line between Love and his defender Westbrook, making Love unable to take advantage of this gap.

Seeing the four big hands flicking back and forth in his lower three lanes, Love, who was afraid of losing the ball, did not dare to continue playing. He passed the ball and handed it to Darren Collison, ready to let Darren Collison continue to organize the offense .

This time, Love pulled to the outside line, ready to play singles from the outside line.

Li Ran still pursued closely.

Although Love's dribbling ability is excellent, it is not as good as those outside players, after all, the center of gravity is there.

After dribbling the ball a few times, seeing that Li Ran was unmoved at all, Le Fu was going to shoot a jump shot directly in Li Ran's face like before.

He is seven or eight centimeters taller than Li Ran, theoretically speaking, he has the conditions for bukkake.

But when he thought of Li Ran's astonishing bounce speed and terrifying jump height at the opening jump ball, Le Fu was scared.

In fact, Love has never been considered a qualified team leader. Although he performed well in the Timberwolves and scored 30+30 against the sky many times, the record of the Timberwolves in those years has not been good.

Instead, his real highlight moments were the years when the Cavaliers were with Ah Tan.

So, Love once again handed the ball out.

Huo Lan, who was off the court, watched Le Fu fail in two singles against Li Ran, and waved his fist angrily.

Why couldn't he see that just like he had arranged for Westbrook to defend Li Ran, Kaliapa on the opposite side also used Li Ran, a surprise soldier, to defend Love.

Judging from the performance of this round, Li Ran actually restricted Love's performance.

In the end, UCLA's first offense ended with Westbrook missing a zombie jumper.

Next, it was the Tigers' offensive round.

Westbrook was gearing up to give Li Ran a greeting.

　It’s time to test the waters, please recommend and ask for a monthly pass~ I want to go a few more rounds on the recommendation~
