I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 252 Magic-Ball
The next day, Li Ran came to the training hall on time with dark circles under his eyes.

Calipari's eyes were also red, obviously he didn't rest much last night.

Li Ran and Calipari exchanged their thoughts last night.

But what Li Ran didn't expect was that Calipari directly vetoed his two ideas.

"Li, in this situation, your offensive ability and defensive ability are indispensable for the team. Facing an opponent like the Lakers, it is not advisable to simply fight offensively and defensively."

Li Ran nodded.

"Then what can you do?"

"I have nothing to do. The team has very limited room for adjustment. In order to fight against Yao Ming, our center can only use Kwame. Although his defense efficiency against Yao Ming is not good, he is better than the others." Calipari honestly Said.

After Xiaojia missed the game, Kwame Brown is now the only Indian center for the Grizzlies.

To fight against Yao Ming, who is [-] meters tall, Kwame is also necessary.

"We still have an advantage on the back line. The combination of Stephen and Jamal and I is still better than Kobe plus Blake plus Artest."

"But there is no way to solve the problem of the inside line." Calipari said bitterly.

"If it can't be solved, then it won't be solved. We can't pin our hope of winning on the fact that the twin towers on the opposite side can't play." Li Ran had figured this out a long time ago.

You can't just surrender just because the twin towers can't be solved.

"What should I do?"

"If you want me to say, Zach and Paul's offensive ability is not inferior to that of Yao and Jiajia. If you can't defend the inside line, just go against them!"

The Paul in Li Ran's mouth is Millsap, the god of rice.

Millsap's performance this season is quite satisfactory, and Calipari only uses him as an ordinary rotation player.

But only Li Ran knew how great the potential in Millsap was.

Still the same sentence, since you can't keep it, you simply don't keep it.

"is this OK?"

Calipari still feels that it is more reliable to let Kwame Brown go up against Yao Ming.

"Yao Ming's attack range is only within the three-point line, and most of them are under the basket, but whether Zach or Paul, the attack range is farther than Yao Ming. When they pull out, they can also leave space for the inside."

Calipari felt that what Li Ran said made sense.

"Besides, our offense in the next game can still be played like this."

Li Ran pulled Calipari aside with a mysterious expression, like this, like this, Calipari's face changed again and again, and finally looked at Li Ran with some hesitation.

"Is this really possible?"

"There can't be a worse result, can it?"

When Calipari heard it, hey, this is called broken pot, right?

But looking back, he thought about it, and it made sense.

As a result, a somewhat weird starting lineup appeared in the game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies in G4.

Curry, Crawford, Li Ran, Millsap, Randolph.

This is Li Ran playing on the court with four defensive black holes.

The burden on Li Ran is extremely heavy. In addition to attacking, he also needs to mark Kobe, provide supplementary defense for his teammates, and be the defensive gate linking the team's internal and external lines.

Li Ran was ready to show his confidence, but things were not as simple as he thought.

The Lakers' triangle offense played smoothly, and after Kobe's rotation, he was not played almost every time.

Although Phil Jackson is like an idiot when he directs on the spot, his tactical quality is really not covered. As the only tactic that has created two dynasties, the triangle offense must have its own merits.

No matter whether Kobe hits Curry or Crawford back, Li Ran can only watch Kobe show off his ability as an offensive encyclopedia with all his strength on the other side.

As a defensive expert, Li Ran certainly couldn't give up his defender to double-team Kobe.

Although Kobe is known as a fake fax sender, his organizational skills are not covered.

A guard who averages five assists per game, looking at the league, plus those point guards who rely on assists for a living, are not too many.

Li Ran has no doubts that as long as he leaves space, Kobe will pass the ball out immediately.

In order to get his fourth championship ring, Kobe will agree to whatever you ask him to do.

It's not that Li Ran didn't try. He just tried to chase Kobe when the Lakers were running tactics, but Kobe passed the ball directly to Artest.

With no one in the two-meter radius, Artest is confident in shooting such an unguarded three-pointer.

After Artest made this goal, Li Ran never dared to miss anyone easily.

However, although the defense couldn't defend, the Grizzlies did not fall into a big disadvantage on the scene.

Even stronger than the last game.

Because of this grizzly bear, except for Li Ran, everyone else focused their skill points on offense.

More precisely, in this game, the Grizzlies have only two options on the offensive end.

One is the end of a breakthrough under the basket, and the other is a three-pointer from the outside.

Curry and Crawford shot three-pointers happily.

Even Li Ran joined in the fun from time to time.

Originally, Kobe and the Lakers felt that the Grizzlies didn't feel good today. They only made 13 of 5 three-pointers in the first quarter, less than [-]% of their shots. Can they still shoot dead people?
But looking at the score, Bryant was silent.

26-28, the Grizzlies were only two points behind even though they couldn't stop the Lakers' offense.

This is the Grizzlies without Xiaojia and Kirilenko!

Some optimistic fans even believed that the Lakers could crush the Grizzlies in the first quarter.

However, looking at the current situation on the court, it is completely different from the script, isn't it?

Calipari did not expect that Li Ran's suggestion would have a miraculous effect.

Three-pointers are really so powerful?

Li Ran was just a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but in the first quarter, when the Grizzlies' new tactics were really played out, he suddenly realized.

The Grizzlies are really born to play this set of magic ball tactics.

Curry, the first three-pointer in NBA history.

Crawford, the best sixth man in the league, has amazing offensive power and is the league record holder for four-pointers.

Even Li Ran looked decent when he shot a three-pointer.

Because no one dared to post it to defend Li Ran.

If you really do this, Li Ran really dares to demonstrate to you what it means to pass in one step.

In the second quarter, Calipari simply replaced Millsap with UAE.

You know, the UAE, which has been successfully transformed into a pure space-based insider, has made about [-]% of its three-pointers this season.

In the second quarter, the more pure Grizzlies made the Lakers even more uncomfortable.

Li Ran didn't even want to break through, mainly because he was tired.

After finishing the action on the outside, he shoots, but the defender has nothing to do.

After all, you can't guarantee whether Li Ran will break through. . .

At the end of halftime, the Grizzlies, who were short of major generals, unexpectedly led the Lakers by three points.
