Chapter 232 The second-hand product who intends to influence the progress of the game

Calipari now feels that agreeing to Kerr to coach the Grizzlies was the second-best decision of his career.

Of course, the first place is to receive Li Ran under the command of the University of Memphis.

Otherwise, how could he be so relaxed, Li Ran almost did all the work of the coach and manager.

And the credit goes to him and Cole.

This season, his best coach and Kerr's best general manager have almost been booked, and no one in the league can take away this honor from them.

Moreover, it seems that when Li Ran was looking for a transfer, he asked for the team's right to speak not because of his strong desire to control, but because he really had two brushes in his understanding of players.

From the beginning of the season to the present, every transaction of the Grizzlies can be regarded as a stroke of genius.

Especially the trade to Kirilenko, which directly ushered in the transformation of the Grizzlies.

In the second quarter, Calipari thought about it and decided to put Li Ran and Kirilenko on the court.

Originally, Ball thought that with such a big lead in the first quarter, the Grizzlies would definitely replace Li Ran and Kirilenko. At least he didn't expect Calipari to be so ruthless.

If you don't give me any way to survive, do you still want to play in the NBA in the future?

Contacts, contacts do not understand.

However, Calipari agreed to leave the NCAA because of Li Ran's face. Does it make any difference to him whether he can play in the NBA?

No.

If Li Ran is traded to another team or unable to coach Li Ran for some reason, at worst he can pack his bags and return to Gaolaozhuang.

No, go back to the NCAA.

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies still maintained a high-pressure situation against the Hornets. The Hornets were still extremely difficult to score, and it took several rounds to score a point.

In this case, as the core and commander of the Hornets, Paul's mentality has undergone a subtle change.

Li Ran could clearly feel that the 58 Cannon made more small moves when facing his defense.

Pull out the crotch, pinch the weakness, pinch the thigh.

However, Li Ran was very calm in dealing with his small movements.

Is there a possibility that under Li Ran's deliberate defense, my little short hand can't reach Xiao Li Ran at all?
Li Ran is very confident about this.

But the progress of the game has become a little weird.

The main reason was the black, shiny, bald referee.

And when I Pao secretly pinched Li Ran's thigh, he was directly thrown to the ground by Li Ran's elbow.

Paul covered his face in pain and rolled on the ground, but Li Ran knew that his action just now was not big, and the ball was at most an ordinary foul.

However, the referee gave Li Ran a T without hesitation.

Li Ran's eyes widened, but the referee looked at him with a serious face. It was clear that as long as Li Ran had any overreaction, he would be the second T to shoot at any time.

Shaking his head, Li Ran was too lazy to argue with this bastard.

Maybe he wanted to forcefully maintain the enjoyment of the game, and didn't want the game to collapse so early.

Not long after, Li Ran took the ball cleanly and grabbed the ball behind West's back. He was just about to counterattack quickly when he heard the referee's whistle.

He froze for a moment, thinking it was an off-the-ball foul elsewhere on the field, and looked to the side, only to find that the referee was looking at him, gesturing for a personal foul.

Li Ran looked at the referee with a puzzled face. The ball just now was a textbook steal, and it didn't touch West at all.

Seeing the referee's resolute gesture, Li Ran put the ball down.

Don't make trouble if you win, just give him face.

Off the court, Calipari was also puzzled, and the team on the sidelines booed and abused the referee enthusiastically.

After re-serving, Paul and West went through a pick-and-roll and West made an air cut.

Kirilenko, who was in ambush under the basket, jumped out and touched the ball thrown by West with his fingertips.

"drop!"

The referee whistled again.

Li Ran saw it clearly, and immediately went up to the referee to discuss it.

"It was obviously a good shot, and so was the last one."

The referee shook his head while stepping back, his eyes were firm, but he didn't explain much.

Li Ran reacted suddenly. He looked at the referee with a weird face, and when his teammates surrounded him, he blocked them from the side.

"Do you think you can decide the outcome of this match? You think too simply." Li Ran looked at the smart referee with a sneer, and whispered to him.

The referee froze for a moment, then signaled West to execute a free throw.

Li Ran took this opportunity to call Kirilenko aside and put his arms around his neck.

"Andre, we were targeted by the referee. Next, be more careful in defense and don't shoot easily, but don't hold back in this game, fight to the death!"

Kirilenko has more experience than Li Ran, and he also knows that the referee is trying to find a balance, so he nodded: "I know, don't worry."

Paul originally felt that the situation was deflecting to his side. After all, the two goals just now were the first time they scored in two consecutive rounds in this game.

Li Ran ended the next attack with a dunk into the inside, and continued to maintain a big lead against the Hornets.

When it was the Hornets' next round, Paul was confidently preparing to chase points, but Li Ran posted it directly.

His hands were stretched out on both sides of his body, and his movements were clearly explained, but Paul was stuck by Li Ran and couldn't move for a while.

There was no way, Paul passed the ball to West who came forward to meet him, but when the ball was flying in the air, a pair of long arms appeared from the side and intercepted the ball in the air.

After Kirilenko steals the ball, he starts a fast break, with Li Ran assisting, Kirilenko easily dunks with both hands.

Li Ran stood under the basket watching Kirilenko succeed in dunking, then turned his head to look at the expressionless referee, spread his hands, and his face was full of jokes.

did you see it?Even if you help them, there is no way to prevent us from winning this game!

Li Ran and Kirilenko, who have changed their defensive style, or changed their defensive methods, are still two mountains that the Hornets cannot overcome.

As long as the referee doesn't find a flaw, he doesn't dare to be too biased towards the Hornets.

In the second and third quarters, the style of the game changed suddenly. In just over a quarter, the Hornets actually scored eighteen free throws. Li Ran and Kirilenko each had four fouls.

However, the point difference of the game has not been widened, and the two teams still maintain a [-]-point difference.

The only thing that made Li Ran a little strange was that this game was obviously his home game, so why did the referee dare to blatantly favor the visiting team?

What he didn't know was that Stern, who was watching the game somewhere, was shaking with anger, and even broke the cup in his hand.

"This idiot, doesn't he know that Curry is also black?"

That's right, this referee has a criminal record. . . .

The reason why he suddenly started to favor the Hornets is understandable.

It's strange, Li Ran and Kirilenko are not from the United States.

At this moment, David Stern's cell phone rang. He picked up the cell phone and saw that it was the young and excessive boss of the Grizzlies, Robert Pera.

"David, I think the Grizzlies should be one of the most honest teams in the league. I formally protest the unfair treatment we have encountered."
