I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 230 Attack and Defense Suppression
Li Ran jumped up like a rocket soaring into the sky, and won the ball over Emeo Okafor's head.

What Li Ran likes to bully the most is this kind of short center forward who is less than [-] meters tall and capable of all things. He can always successfully jump the ball over their heads by relying on his incredible bounce speed.

The No. 04 pick in 15, second only to Howard, Okafor is also a typical example of his debut and peak. He can contribute 11+[-] double-double data in his rookie season, and even beat Howard to get the best rookie of the year. period performed well.

But then, it may be that the Bobcats gave him the largest contract in team history of 6 million in six years that made him lose motivation. Okafor's performance is not as good as one year.

After swapping clubs with Chandler, Okafor, who came to the Hornets, performed worse and worse.

The ball was handed over to Curry. Curry, who hadn't played in two games, was full of desire in this game. After making a pick-and-roll with Li Ran, he did not hesitate to shoot a three-pointer over the head of Paul who had shifted over.

A standard bukkake.

The ball arced high and fell straight into the hoop.

Paul, who was out of position, could only look at the ball and sigh, there was nothing he could do.

Curry and Li Ran clapped their hands together, and retreated to the backcourt happily.

As the boss of the team, Li Ran didn't have the bad habits of other noble superstar players.

Li Ran didn't have any of these problems, such as being too lazy to pick and roll, having to hit the first ball by himself, and having unlimited firepower equals unlimited shooting outside.

Just like this ball, Li Ran and Curry's outside pick-and-roll gave the Hornets a headache.

Let's switch defenses, Curry's small-to-big and Li Ran's big-to-small are both unable to cope with the Hornets.

Go over the block, as long as Curry is given the slightest chance, he dares to shoot.

Dare to enter after voting.

Paul took the ball from David West helplessly, thinking about how to play the first offense.

However, when it came to the frontcourt, when Li Ran posted it, the problem Paul needed to consider was not how to organize the offense, but how to pass the ball.

As one of the best ball handlers in the league, Paul certainly doesn't worry about how to protect the ball under Li Ran's defense.

What troubled him was that almost all of his ball routes were faintly blocked by Li Ran and Kirilenko.

He lowered the ball again to avoid Li Ran's ball. Seeing that the time was running out, Paul was determined to come by himself.

He made a change of rhythm, and Li Ran, who was forceful, was given a little space.

Paul bent down without any hesitation, and leaned against Li Ran to kill him.

Li Ran took a step back, just blocking Paul's breakthrough route.

Paul has sufficient experience in this situation. He took a step back in a calm manner, and he was ready to use his steady mid-range shot to score the first point.

However, as soon as the ball was released, Paul felt a gust of wind blowing over his head.

Accompanied by a crisp sound.

Kirilenko didn't know when a ghost appeared beside him like a ghost.

And the slight gap that Li Ran made just now moved his position, just blocking Kirilenko from Paul's sight, making Curry lose sight of the AK47 for a short time.

After landing, Paul was belatedly aware of it.

It turned out that the vacancy that Li Ran showed was intentional.

Thinking of this, Paul felt a chill in his heart.

This meant that Li Ran had seen through his underpants.

From the direction he chose to break through just now, Li Ran has already dug a hole for him, just waiting for him to jump into it obediently.

Looking back, Curry assisted Kirilenko, and the two played an exquisite block-and-cut cooperation. After receiving the ball, the Russian broke through hard into the inside and scored the ball over Okafor's head.

This is why Kirilenko is called an all-around fighter. He can do everything except top defense.

Mid-range shots, three-pointers, breakthroughs, and passing, although not top-notch, are all good enough.

For the next offense, Paul is ready to play tactics.

He first called David West's pick-and-roll. After David West blocked Li Ran, Paul broke through. During the march, he made a concealed pass to the ground, and was about to pass the ball to David Weiss who was running down. special.

Li Ran made a move that caught everyone's attention.

He was originally facing Paul's direction, that is, looking at himself halfway, but after West rolled down, he didn't even look back, and the whole person jumped back directly.

Paul passed the ball to David West, but by such a coincidence, Li Ran turned back and directly crushed him.

FedEx Arena was silent for a full three seconds, and then, the exclamation of the home team fans sounded belatedly.

At this time, Li Ran was lying on his side on the ground and passed the ball to Curry.

Even Curry didn't realize that Li Ran was able to break the ball in such an unimaginable way.

Paul gritted his teeth, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

Facing such a monster, what should he do?
It was Li Ran who finally ended the attack with this ball!

After Li Ran passed the ball to Curry, he immediately got up from the ground, took a step, put on fifth gear and ran to the frontcourt.

Curry, who was observing the situation from the flank, was considering how to organize the offense when he suddenly saw a black figure wearing a Grizzlies jersey inserting into the interior at high speed.

He subconsciously threw the ball into the sky, and then he saw who it was.

At this time, Li Ran was already flying in the sky.

He stretched out his hand in the air and caught Curry's pass. His whole body was like a bow that was fully stretched. After stretching to the extreme, he smashed the ball into the basket like a giant axe.

After landing on one foot, Li Ran stood in place for half a second, then proudly raised his head, and patted his chest towards the audience facing him, his sharp-edged handsome face was full of contempt.

Grizzlies fans were going crazy with joy.

The fans of FedEx Arena should be the most loyal group of people in this league.

At least one of them.

They never cared about the strength of the team, but silently supported the team.

And the Grizzlies also voted me a peach and repaid it with Qiongju.

For the Grizzlies, they have never been like the Thunder or the Timberwolves of later generations. They have been bad for several years, hoarded a lot of draft picks, and tried the quality of the players selected one by one like scratching the prize, and then decided how to do it. Rebuild the team.

The Grizzlies will always be, this season is a bad one, it doesn't matter, pick a potential rookie next season, just do it.

This season's performance is good, but in the playoffs, they will fight hard until they run out of ammunition and food, and they will die standing up.

Anyway, you have to be worthy of the fans who pay to buy tickets to watch the game from the sidelines.

Li Ran also enjoys the relationship between the Grizzlies and fans, which is a bit special in the NBA. Grizzlies fans are many times better than Knicks fans.

This is also an important reason why he chose to come to the Grizzlies and try his best to help the team strengthen this season.

Then, to Li Ran's surprise, a voice gradually sounded in the stadium.

Hearing this voice made his scalp tingle.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

The sound became louder and louder, like a torrent, sweeping through the entire FedEx Arena.
