I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 24 You Just Can't Project!
Li Ran was taken aback when he saw Westbrook standing in front of him.

The young Donatello squatted down and looked at him confidently.

"I've figured out your weaknesses. You won't play so comfortably in this game."

While dribbling the ball behind his back and under his crotch, Li Ran asked curiously, "What's my weakness?"

Westbrook remained calm, and took two small steps back.

Seeing Westbrook like this, Rose, who was ready to respond, almost didn't laugh out loud.

"Admit it, you don't have the ability to project!" Westbrook said sternly like the protagonist in a comic.

Li Ran's expression changed. In Wei Shao's eyes, Wei Shao was overjoyed.

"The coach really has sharp eyes, this guy is scared."

"Then try first, can you block my breakthrough!" Li Ran whispered, suddenly speeding up the frequency of dribbling, he made a large crossover, Westbrook's center of gravity moved slightly.

However, Westbrook's eyes immediately changed. Li Ran abruptly pulled the ball from behind to his other hand, and wiped Westbrook's side from another direction.

Wei Shao couldn't adjust his center of gravity at all, and could only watch Li Ran break through him so easily with horror.

Fortunately, in order to deal with Li Ran's breakthrough, Huo Lan had already arranged a backup.

The little prince Ba Mote, who is nearly a million people, let go of his defender immediately, and rushed towards the direction of Li Ran's breakthrough.

Li Ran didn't care so much, he threw himself into the sky in front of Ba Mote.

In his previous life, he didn't have such a good physical talent. In this life, God rewards him with food, so he has to take a good rest first.

In the air, Li Ran and the black and hard Ba Mote collided directly, but the strong core strength allowed Li Ran to maintain his center of gravity.

Then, he pulled the bar with one hand, avoided Mbah a Moute's block, and gently threw the ball towards the backboard.

Love also defended to the basket, and jumped up hard to interfere with Li Ran's shot.

But the ball flicked across his fingertips, and finally fell obediently into the basket.

After landing, Li Ran fell directly to the ground and slid a certain distance on the floor, but his eyes were fixed on the basketball gliding in the air, and he clenched his fists excitedly to celebrate when the ball scored.

Ross trotted over, and together with Joey Dorsey pulled Li Ran up from the ground.

"Good job, but just now..."

Ross was a little puzzled. Just now Westbrook was one meter away from Li Ran. Li Ran had plenty of space to shoot, but he still chose to break through.

Li Ran smiled and shook his head: "Play with them for a while."

Huo Lan off the field saw Li Ran score a goal, but he had a confident smile on his face.

He felt that his evaluation of Li Ran was not bad. Westbrook had given him such a large shooting space, and Li Ran still chose to break through. Although he scored such a difficult goal, such a performance, such a goal , How long can it last?

"Good job, Russell, just play!" He shouted at Westbrook who was running to the frontcourt.

With the approval of the head coach, Westbrook was full of energy. This attack also ended with a mid-range zombie jumper after he got Love's pick-and-roll.

4-2, the two teams played fast-paced basketball at the beginning.

Moreover, UCLA retreated extremely quickly after scoring, and did not give the Tigers a chance to play the fast counterattack they are usually best at.

Rose saw that there was no chance to advance, so he could only suppress his speed and wait for his teammates to settle down.

He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Li Ran.

Li Ran received the ball, and Westbrook stood in front of him again.

This time, Westbrook retreated even further.

He's already at the top of the free throw line.

Li Ran looked at Westbrook's defensive position and laughed dumbfounded.

The taste of this position is so right. Li Ran of later generations saw Westbrook's defender standing in this position to defend him countless times when watching the ball.

"Are you really not afraid of my shooting?" Li Ran thought about chatting with Westbrook while patting the ball.

"Please." Westbrook said carelessly.

Li Ran still didn't choose to shoot. He lowered his body and looked at Westbrook sharply.

"This guy is irritated." Westbrook secretly rejoiced. Once the player's mentality is affected on the field, it is easy to make some unreasonable choices, commonly known as the top.

At the same time, Joey Dorsey and Ross approached Li Ran at the same time.

Westbrook was alert and was ready to overblock.

Sure enough, Joey Dorsey came to Westbrook's side, his large body was ready to block him firmly, and Ross also ran behind Li Ran at the same time.

"You want to block me? It's too simple!" Westbrook is still very confident in his lateral movement speed. Seeing that Mba Moute has blocked Li Ran's fake pick-and-roll breakthrough route, he bypassed it without hesitation. Joey Dorsey is going to block Li Ran on the other side.

However, when he got away from Joey Dorsey's entanglement, he was horrified to find that the ball in Li Ran's hand was gone.

As soon as Ross held the ball and accelerated, he got rid of Darren Collison who was following him, and Mbah a Moute was defending Li Ran from the outside at this time. Rose went inside and only had to face Kevin Love who was sitting under the basket.

He stepped on the line of the three-second zone unhurriedly and jumped up. With a light throw, the ball went hollow into the net, and Love didn't even have a chance to protect the frame.

Westbrook, who was tricked by Li Ran, was very angry. What about the one-on-one duel?
He was very dissatisfied with Li Ran's shameless behavior that violated the spirit of heads-up.

With a faint smile on the corner of Li Ran's mouth, he watched Westbrook retreat and run towards his backcourt.

Seeing the mocking expression on Li Ran's face, Westbrook became even more angry.

But Darren Collison decided to let Love play this ball.

Although Westbrook was a hundred times better than Collison in the future, in his freshman season, he was a substitute for Darren Collison.

So seeing Darren Collison's gesture, although he really wanted to single-handedly hit Li Ran to get back the field, but Westbrook could only obediently move.

Love received a pass from Collison in the horn area. This position is usually a very comfortable position for him. He can face the frame and hit the inside line when he advances, and he can shoot outside the three-point line when he retreats.

But today, looking at Li Ran who opened his arms and lowered his body to look at him, Le Fu felt a headache for a while.

Neither approach seems to be very good.

Le Fu simply turned around, took advantage of his tonnage advantage, and sat on Li Ran's buttocks to advance inside.

Although Li Ran tried his best to push him up, Le Fu still sat in the three-second zone step by step.

The sound of two people's muscles colliding was clearly visible. Li Ran clenched his teeth tightly, and the veins on his forehead popped out.

"What did this kid grow up on? Why is he stronger than those insiders?" With this thought in mind, Le Fu quickened his feet.

Because he's in the paint now and only has three seconds to play.
