I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 261

George Karl didn't dare to be careless at all.

Because in the first quarter, Li Ran was very honest. He only scored two points, and spent the rest of the time organizing the team's defense.

But no one would ignore Li Ran, everyone thought that Li Ran was dormant.

That's right, this is the game strategy formulated by the Grizzlies before the game.

Calipari knew that the Grizzlies couldn't let Li Ran do all the scoring and defense forever.

Moreover, the Grizzlies are not without anyone who can stand up and share Li Ran's pressure.

In the first quarter, the Grizzlies' scoring was almost entirely attributed to Curry, Randolph and Jr. Gadd.

The scores of the three are also very average.

Anthony scored a Nuggets team-high 14 points.

In the second quarter, George Karl was about to replace Anthony with JR.

This season, another trouble for George Karl, or a happy trouble, is that there are too many people available on the Nuggets bench.

Billups, JR Smith, and OJ Mayo are all proper main players in other teams.

But in the Nuggets, they can only compete to play.

In this game, George Karl replaced JR who performed the best in pre-match training.

JR obviously rolled the dice today to 9, oh no, it is obviously Jordan possessing the template.

I invited Michael Jordan, the god of basketball in 2003, in the activity of inviting God to the upper body. Come and try it too.

That's right, the strength shown by Schrödinger's JR today is probably at the level of Jordan after his second comeback.

But that's enough.

In the second quarter, Li Ran simply sat on the bench.

Looking at the indistinguishable two teams on the court, everyone didn't know what Calipari was playing.

Isn't it stupid to leave nuclear weapons unused?
Perhaps only George Karl has a vague understanding of what Calipari wants to do.

But if Calipari really has such a plan, then George Karl can only say that this old boy is really vicious.

At the end of the second quarter, Li Ran only scored two points in the unexpected half.

But the faces of the Nuggets were even uglier.

The Grizzlies are blatantly looking down on them.

Letting go of a Li Ran, the Grizzlies are on par with the Nuggets!
During the intermission, the Nuggets locker room was not dead, but it was also very silent.

On the Grizzlies side, Calipari lifted Li Ran's restraining order with a smile on his face.

"Is there enough time for one session?"

Li Ran thought about it.

"I'll try as hard as I can."

"Then let them see how terrifying you are at your full output."

In the third quarter, the last thing George Karl wanted to see happened.

He would rather that Li Ran is in poor condition today due to other reasons, and he doesn't want to see Li Ran in this state.

Li Ran began to take over the team's offense.

His hand feeling didn't seem to have declined at all because he didn't make a shot in the halftime, but became even hotter because he held back the halftime.

His current offense is very three-dimensional, with almost no dead ends.

Three-pointers, breakthroughs, back hits and mid-range shots.

The vast majority of NBA players will never learn the essence of these three tricks.

However, what Li Ran possesses is the ability of the most proficient player in these three skills in NBA history.

First, a super long three-pointer shot in front of OJ Mayo.

Then he broke into the inside line and made a dunk on Gortat's head that smashed Huashan.

Afterwards, Li Ran signaled Curry to slow down, and began to chisel in the low position one ball at a time.

In 4 minutes, Li Ran scored eight points in a row, and George Karl called a timeout.

After the timeout, Li Ran continued to score.

George Karl made a substitution, but the effect was also not good.

Although Anthony didn't have Li Ran to make a move this time, Kirilenko, who gave up attacking and focused on defending him, also made him very uncomfortable.

On one side was the unstoppable Li Ran, and on the other side was Anthony, whose offense was greatly restricted. The point difference between the two teams began to be slowly opened under the incredible eyes of all the fans.

Li Ran's scoring was average, he scored 4 points in 8 minutes, and scored exactly 24 points at the end of the third quarter.

But when the third quarter ended, the players on the Nuggets field were a little desperate.

In a single quarter, Li Ran led the team to score a full 39 points.

The Nuggets scored 20 points in a single quarter.

In just one quarter, the Grizzlies beat the Nuggets, almost making the fourth quarter a garbage time.

This is where Calipari is at his worst.

When he knew how powerful the team he was coaching was, he did not hesitate to adopt the most murderous way of playing.

It only takes one quarter to win the whole game, and Li Ran doesn't even need to play too much time with all his strength!

After the Grizzlies battle with the Lakers, both Li Ran and other players seem to have gained some kind of sublimation.

This sublimation is reflected in the mentality.

They believe that they can still beat the mighty Lakers under such a difficult situation, what other opponents can't be trampled under their feet?

And it was none other than Li Ran who gave them such confidence!
As long as Li Ran is on the court, the Grizzlies players have the confidence to defeat any opponent.

Even if you're a 70-win Nuggets.

the same!
TNT was silent, the commentator of Tianchao Sports was silent, the forum of Mopu was silent, and the fans were also silent.

Why does this grizzly look so powerful and invincible?
If the Nuggets lose two home games in a row, do they still have a chance when they go to the Grizzlies' away game?
With 71 wins, will the seemingly invincible Nuggets really fall in the conference finals?
The Nuggets fans looked desperately at Li Ran, who continued to play in the fourth quarter. Even though the Nuggets had played their best and Li Ran led the Grizzlies' second team, the Nuggets fans still had no confidence that Anthony could lead the team to fill in the gap. A big hole.

In the fourth quarter, the Nuggets' offense was much smoother. After all, the defense of the Grizzlies' second team was more than one level weaker than that of the starters.

But only relying on Li Ran's own performance, the Grizzlies were only slightly behind in the scene.

George Karl has already judged that according to the current momentum, even if the Grizzlies do not make any personnel changes, it will be even more difficult for the Nuggets to come back.

After 6 minutes, the point difference was finally caught up by the Nuggets to only ten points.

Calipari put on the main lineup without hesitation.

The next game lost its suspense, and the point difference that had been worked so hard to recover was opened again in a short time.

When Li Ran walked towards the tunnel with 38 points, 14 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, everyone in the Pepsi Center looked at him like a monster.

It only took him two quarters to destroy the confidence of the Nuggets and win the game without any suspense.

"Who can resist Li Ran? He looks invincible."

"The Grizzlies and the Cavaliers meet in the Finals? LeBron and Li Ran, who is No. 1 in the league?"

In the post-match reports, some people have already compared Li Ran and James.

And what was James doing in his sophomore year?
Score points in leveling.

What is Li Ran doing?
Going further and further on the road to compete for his second championship ring.
