Chapter 262 Don't Compare With Li Ran, This Is A Freak
With a score of 2:0, the Grizzlies returned to their hometown.

What surprised the entire Grizzlies team is that now that the Western Conference Finals have only been played two times, the Grizzlies fans have already won the championship, and thousands of fans spontaneously came to pick up a few games.

They were wearing Grizzlies jerseys, most of which were Li Ran's No. 0 jersey.

When Li Ran walked past the encouragement and praise of fans lined up in two rows, the smile on his face never disappeared.

The Grizzlies are one of the youngest teams in the NBA. They entered the playoffs for the first time in 04 and were swept by the Spurs without any suspense.

It wasn't until 06 that the Grizzlies won their first game in the playoffs.

Who knows, time has changed, and in just a few years, the Grizzlies have become the most powerful team in the league.

Not only did they have the best record in team history, they even advanced all the way in the playoffs, and now they have a 2:0 lead over the Nuggets, who have the league's first record in the regular season, in the Western Conference Finals.

All of this is because of the arrival of one person.

Li Ran!

It is no secret that Li Ran asked to participate in team management, especially team signings and transactions.

And the Grizzlies fans have also completed a 180-degree turning point from the initial incomprehension to the later tolerance, and now to the current full support.

Some people even prepared to jointly sign a letter to the team's management, requesting to formally find a position for Li Ran in the management.

This is of course impossible, but it also shows the unconditional doting of the Grizzlies fans on Li Ran.

This kind of doting is not weaker than the Cavaliers' feelings for James now, or even worse.

The team's young fan owner, Pera, also supports Li Ran unconditionally. As long as there is a home game, he will definitely sit behind the bench and sit with ordinary fans to cheer for the team.

In the playoffs, he ran around with the team, from Portland to Los Angeles, and from Los Angeles to Denver.

Moreover, Pera basically does not participate in the management of the team, which basically makes the Grizzlies the Sanyantang of Li Ran, Cole and Calipari, and after so many successful transactions proposed by Li Ran, Cole Li Ranyan and Calipari basically obeyed Li Ranyan in terms of player transactions.

This is also the reason why Randolph, who has always been stabbing, dare not stab Li Ran in the team.

Just kidding, the two are not rivals at the same level. If you annoy Li Ran, if you say a word, you will pack up and leave.

Seeing such a scene, even Pera, who came back with the team, was very excited.

In fact, Pera has been in a good mood recently.

Because he came to the team almost at the same time as Li Ran.

And after Li Ran came, the market value of the Grizzlies has been rising, rising, rising. . . .

There is nothing more exciting than being able to make money from one's own interests, so on the bus, Pera directly pulled the entire Grizzlies team down to the Mississippi River, and had a good time at the River Hotel in Port Town.

At the party, Pella even waved his hand, and everyone on the team distributed a Camaro and a piece of Vacheron Constantin.

This is really a big deal. After all, Pera has thrown out millions of dollars in coins this time.

And he also promised that as long as the team can successfully win the championship, there will be more generous rewards.

Pera is not a fool. He spent so much money just because, as long as the Grizzlies win the championship, the market value of the team will go up. At that time, the money will be nothing compared to the increase in the value of the team. carry.

The morale of the Grizzlies team, which received both material and spiritual rewards, was greatly boosted. They vowed to kill the Nuggets first and then the Cavaliers, and won the first championship trophy in team history.

As for why the Cavaliers were played by default in the finals, because the Cavaliers are now leading the Bulls 2:0, it seems that Rose's wonderful playoff journey this year is coming to an end.

He is still young, and there is plenty of time. People have already seen the unlimited potential in him, and it is enough surprise and surprise to lead the not-so-strong Bulls to the conference finals this year.

What?Li Ran?

That's a freak, don't compare with him.

When the Nuggets came to Memphis, they faced such a team with plenty of energy, a well-organized lineup and high morale.

Originally, in the last game, Calipari defeated the morale of the Nuggets with a strange move.

In this game, Li Ran changed his style of not working hard in the first two quarters of the previous game, and started to fire from the first quarter.

The Nuggets were playing away games, and with the Grizzlies' morale booming, the Grizzlies established a 15-point lead in just two quarters.

Li Ran scored 18 points and 10 rebounds in the half game.

Other people's 20+10 stats are good enough for the whole game, but Li Ran got almost the same stats in the first half.

Anthony continued to be pinned down by Li Ran and Kirilenko, which had become a deadlock in this round of the series, and even George Karl had nothing to do.

Although he averaged 27 points per game in the first two games, his shooting percentage has dropped a lot compared to the regular season.

George Karl now desperately hopes that someone else on the team can stand up.

However, the Nuggets players who are used to fighting with the wind, or in other words, who have played with the wind for a whole season, can adjust their mentality so quickly.

Although experienced veterans such as Billups and O'Neal resisted desperately, the balance of victory was still resolutely tilting towards the Grizzlies.

It may be unbelievable to say it, but this year Billups averaged the highest scoring average in his career in the original time and space.

He averaged 19.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

But this year, Billups, who was robbed of the starting position by Conley, has plummeted to less than 14 points per game.

At the critical moment of the third quarter, Mr. Big Heart stood up.

He scored two key three-pointers in a row, abruptly stopping the Nuggets on the verge of collapse.

With eight points behind, the Nuggets ushered in a decisive battle with the Grizzlies in the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Calipari made an unexpected change and promoted Li Ran to the power forward position, focusing on the inside.

As a result, the Nuggets' insiders had to follow Li Ran to the outside, and Li Ran's small and big insiders also made Nene and Gortat miserable.

Caught off guard, the Nuggets just got better and the situation collapsed in an instant. Calipari's unexpected change made George Karl a headache, and he could only watch helplessly as the team slipped into the abyss little by little.

The most important thing is that regardless of Nene or Gortat, the rebounds of these two were completely destroyed by Li Ran. . . .

The gram 6 on the outside got Calipari's permission, and Curry shot wildly.

Although the shooting rate is not ideal, there are even many shots that can be called wave shots, which should not appear in the playoffs at all.

But I can't hold back, Li Ran has a solid inside line!

Li Ran's final statistics stayed at 26 points and 21 rebounds. He played a terrifying 20+20 in the playoffs. . . .

In the last quarter, without Li Ran's defense, Anthony exploded and scored a game-high 34 points.

But that couldn't stop the Nuggets from losing again.

3-0, the Nuggets' playoffs can be declared over in advance.

There has never been a precedent for a 0-3 comeback in history, even before Li Ran crossed over.

The only suspense now is whether the Grizzlies can sweep the league record in the regular season!
