Chapter 247 The Reassuring Li Ran

In half a quarter, the Grizzlies established an 8-point lead.

But when Yao Ming returned to play, the Lakers immediately stabilized the situation.

Li Ran still didn't want to rashly challenge the Lakers with Yao Ming inside.

It's not that you can't get in, but that this will inevitably affect your offensive efficiency.

He rushed inside, and Yao Ming and Da Jia stood in front of him, one left and one right, like two generals humming. Li Ran hesitated for a moment, then redirected the ball, allowing Curry to reorganize the attack.

Now he is extremely eager to have the ability to open the sky like Magic Johnson.

Li Ran knew very clearly that when he rushed into the inside line just now, there must be teammates around him who were absolutely vacant.

But he couldn't see it.

In other words, even if he knows where the open teammates are, he is unable to pass the ball accurately.

In the fast-paced and high-intensity confrontation environment of the NBA, the strength and speed of the pass are extremely important, but if it is later or slower, it is a mistake or a successful steal by the opponent.

There was not much time left, and Li Ran's pass was a bit like throwing the blame.

Under the crazy defense of the Lakers, Curry finally forced a three-pointer from the outside.

Fortunately, Li Ran made up for his mistakes, took the offensive rebound, and succeeded in the second attack.

Looking back, Kobe hit Li Ran with his back, relying on the shaking of his footsteps and shoulders to successfully shake Li Ran away, turned around and shot a jumper.

There is a saying that says so.

The end point of the post-up is the fadeaway jumper.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence.

Kobe's post-up technique has reached the peak now, and his fadeaway jumper is extremely difficult even for Li Ran to defend.

To put it bluntly, Kobe now has the ability to back anyone indiscriminately.

Looking at the entire history, there are only three outside players with this offensive ability.

Jordan, Kobe, Durant!
The two teams are fighting each other with one ball.

Yao Ming, who has not gradually faded out of the NBA like in history, is now at his peak.

He is also an unsolvable killer, and his inside dominance is undoubtedly evident.

But when Li Ran defended and scored at the same time, he didn't realize a problem.

In the original time and space, the Lakers were the championships for the past two years. In this life, they even strengthened Yao Ming.

Even in this case, the Lakers are only struggling to compete with the Grizzlies on the scene.

So how strong is the Grizzlies lineup?
In the playoffs, Calipari is going to play a seven-to-eight-man rotation. In addition to the starting five, the rest are the sixth man Crawford and Millsap at the power forward position, and the eighth man is from A Choose between United, Korver and Livingston according to the situation.

What lineup depth is this?I'm afraid even Li Ran, who personally created this lineup, didn't realize it.

Even the eighth man's one-of-three players are the key substitutes of the championship-level team for the last time, and they have to compete for the Grizzlies.

Kobe's eyes were cold, and after continuous dribbling, he made an emergency stop in front of Curry and hit a jumper, elegant and cold, like a black mamba with a scarlet letter.

This look already shows that Kobe's mentality has undergone some changes now.

He didn't expect the Grizzlies, who were almost swept by the Lakers in the regular season, to become so difficult in the playoffs.

Up to now, the Lakers are still behind.

The point difference is not much, only about seven or eight points, but no matter how hard Kobe tries, he can't make up the difference.

Li Ran received another pass from Curry and succeeded in eating melons from the bottom line.

Kobe managed to score two points relying on his personal strength, but when he came back, Li Ran ruthlessly obliterated him with a three-pointer.

That immature No. 30 baby face is getting better and better. If it wasn't for Kobe who had to defend Li Ran, a difficult guy, he might have defended Curry himself.

This kid's three-pointer can really kill people!

Although Curry is not as good as Ray Allen at his peak in terms of offensive threat, there is still a lot of room for improvement in his three-pointers.

This is the No.1 player that Kobe has seen who can completely rely on his three-point shooting ability to become the core of the team.

What's more, Curry's organization and breakthrough ability are also superb.

In time, this baby-faced son of a celebrity will have a bright future!
After a whole season of running-in for the Grizzlies, the offense has completely become a whole, and the kind of singles that hurt the team will hardly appear in their offense.

Everyone's best offensive methods are almost kneaded together by Calipari, and even Kirilenko, who has the worst offensive ability in the starting lineup, has his own exclusive air-cut offensive tactics.

Li Ran may be the least boss of the team, but the Grizzlies are convinced by him.

On the offensive end, he never insists on dominating the ball, but only uses his unrivaled breakthrough in the league to help the team open the situation when the team's offense is in trouble.

On the defensive end, Li Ran does all kinds of dirty work. He looks like a short blue-collar insider less than two meters, grabbing rebounds, picking and rolling, and blocking positions. . . .

Before Kirilenko's arrival, Li Ran supported the Grizzlies' defense almost by himself.

However, if Li Ran wasn't such a player, Anthony wouldn't have demanded a trade for him, Kerr wouldn't have agreed to be the general manager of a small team like the Grizzlies, and Calipari wouldn't have given up on the NCAA. The perks come to the NBA.

And Li Ran did not disappoint everyone.

Under Calipari's gratifying eyes, Li Ran went inside and scored an extremely difficult goal against Yao Ming. His whole body was almost bent into a bow, and he relied on himself to reverse Tian's waist and abdomen strength throw the ball.

Yao Ming has already defended to the extreme without fouling, but he still can only watch helplessly as the ball falls into the basket lightly.

In the next round, on the defensive end, Li Ran directly blocked Odom's distracted shot.

Odom didn't pay attention to Li Ran who came up from the side at all. It was already very difficult for him to deal with Kirilenko.

After Li Ran blocked Odom's shot, he took off for the second time, received the ball steadily, and immediately began to counterattack.

Whether it's the Memphis Tigers, the Nuggets, or the Grizzlies, a team with Li Ran will always have an offensive tactic.

It's such a quick counterattack.

It's just that the players who fought back with him changed from Rose to Anthony, and then from Anthony to Curry.

This time, after receiving the ball, Curry passed a perfect alley-oop to Li Ran.

What is perfection?

That is, after Li Ran received the ball, he still had the energy to move in the air.

This time, Li Ran chose to turn around 180 degrees in the air, leaning sideways to dunk the ball in with a powerful tomahawk-style smash.

The whole place is boiling.

His ball also directly stopped the Lakers.

Because the point difference has widened to 10 points.

Li Ran walked off the court slowly amidst the shouts of "MVP" from all the fans, and high-fived the substitute players one by one.
