I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 263

However, it turns out that, as the defending champion and the league's No. [-] team, the Nuggets are not a persimmon to be slaughtered.

In G4 of the Western Conference finals, the Nuggets played with all their members. Anthony made a key three-pointer at the last moment, and the audience even scored 45 points and 10 rebounds.

Li Ran was the most stable point for the Grizzlies. He scored 34 points and 17 rebounds.

The somewhat slack Grizzlies were pulled back by the Nuggets at home.

However, Li Ran didn't think it was a problem. After all, no matter how strong a team is, there would be ups and downs.

And the Grizzlies only lost by five points.

Li Ran wasn't going to put pressure on the players, but Calipari scolded the Grizzlies in the locker room after the game, calling Curry and the others like quails.

After Calipari left, Li Ran stepped out at the right time to appease his teammates.

The two performed perfectly together, one sang the red face and the other sang the bad face, which quickly calmed down the low morale of the Grizzlies players because of the loss.

It's just a loss, it's not like the sky is falling.

When Li Ran came home, he was surprised to find that Taylor was cooking for him clumsily in the kitchen.

What Taylor made was a stir-fried noodle that Li Ran had taught her.

Seeing that Meimei hesitated for a while, and was about to pour a bag of seasoning into the pot, Li Ran hurried forward to hold her hand.

"Didn't I tell you that you can't put chicken essence in fried noodles?"

Taylor pursed her lips, and obediently stood beside her.

Li Ran picked up the spatula, and quickly prepared a few small dishes, and the two had a meal.

"You're going to Denver tomorrow, right? I won't go with you. The studio is very busy recently. I've booked a ticket for tomorrow."

After finishing the meal, Taylor Swift wiped her mouth, stood up and said to Li Ran while cleaning up the dishes and knives and forks.

Li Ran nodded.

It is said that under his training, Taylor has become more and more like a good wife and mother, and compared to the previous life, which changed boyfriends every three days and was good at writing boyfriends into songs, the relationship between Li Ran and Taylor is very stable in this life.

This also directly led to a decrease in the production of Taylor Swift, which made Li Ran very guilty. . .

And this guilt, Li Ran decided to make up for it in other ways.

The next day, Memphis International Airport.

Taylor Swift stood in front of Li Ran wearing sunglasses and pulling a suitcase.

She stood on tiptoe and kissed Li Ran lightly on the lips.

Not many men would let her do that. . . .

"Come on, no matter how busy I am, I will definitely be there when you win the championship!"

Li Ran nodded with a smile, hugged the beauty in his arms, and watched her disappear at the boarding gate.

He didn't have to go back at all, and he was going to be on a flight to Denver here soon.

Tonight's Pepsi Center was packed.

Everyone is waiting for a result.

The results of the Nuggets' game against the Grizzlies tonight.

This is directly related to whether the Nuggets will be eliminated.

To the disappointment of all the Nuggets fans, Li Ran was in full form today.

At the beginning of the game, he scored eight points in a row from inside and outside.

More importantly, Li Ran, who also worked hard on the defensive end, cooperated with Kirilenko to defend the Nuggets without scoring a point in 3 minutes.

For a lineup like the Nuggets, it is unimaginable to lose a point in 3 minutes.

Offense and scoring are the lifeblood of the Nuggets.

But George Karl also looked away.

Simply put, it's broken.

He also does not believe that his team can successfully comeback from a huge disadvantage of 3-0.

Gua Ge also lost the magic power of the previous game. After all, if he can play out that super god state, he will not be called Carmelo Anthony anymore, and he can directly change his name to Michael Jordan.

George Karl simply considered something else.

After this game, if the Nuggets lose, then their season is over.

After the end of the season, there are a lot of problems waiting for the Nuggets management to solve.

Rudy Gay is still holding a rookie contract, with an annual salary of just over $300 million, and he will sign a new contract next season.

The Nuggets will definitely not be able to keep him, and they can't even sign early during the season, because the Nuggets have no bird rights.

But the good news is that at the end of the season, O'Neal's contract expired.

A big contract of 2000 million yuan. . .

Next season, the Nuggets' lineup will definitely make adjustments, but it is still a question whether it is ALL-IN now or for the future.

Because after the rookie contracts of OJ Mayo and Conley expire, the Nuggets also need salary space to give them new contracts.

Next season, the Nuggets' reinforcement direction must be defensive players. Even without Rudy Gay, who is capable of averaging 20+ per game, the Nuggets' offensive ability is still overflowing.

This is something that George Karl should worry about, but what Li Ran cares about now is to win the game without any danger.

The fighting spirit of the Nuggets players is also not strong, and it is very difficult for a team that is good at offense to play against this kind of headwind.

With the last 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, George Karl, who had no intention of fighting, looked at the 18-point difference, replaced all players, and declared the end of the game.

At the moment the game ended, Curry hugged Li Ran excitedly.

He never imagined that his career would have such a wonderful start.

The pink first-year rookie is about to play in the finals.

Kaisen!
Ross also stood up from behind the bench and congratulated Li Ran.

Rose was swept by James in the division finals.

The little emperor averaged 42 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists in four games. It is true that the data is clear.

Under the defense of the Cavaliers, Rose only surrendered 20 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

This is a sharp drop from his previous two rounds.

"Look, buddy will avenge you!"

Li Ran said to Ross confidently.

Ross didn't speak, but hammered Li Ran's chest.

In terms of statistics, in fact, Li Ran's performance in this round of the series is no less than James.

场均32分15.6篮板3.1助攻2.9抢断2.5盖帽，命中率56.5%，三分命中率44.4%。

The upcoming finals have attracted the attention of countless people.

But Li Ran believed that the Cavaliers could not pose any threat to the Grizzlies at all.

During the regular season, Li Ran was beaten by James once, but that was before Kirilenko came.

As we all know, the Cavaliers are James' team alone.

Li Ran is still very confident in defending James with Kirilenko.

The Cavaliers can dominate the East because there are no strong teams in the East.

You let him come west to try?

See if the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Lakers, and Spurs can give him shit.

2010年6月3日，09-10赛季NBA总决赛第一场，在孟菲斯拉开了大幕。

The Memphis Grizzlies host the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In the pre-match interview, James lowered his head and akimbo, facing the reporter's interview, he made a statement very confidently.

"It's always been my dream to bring a championship to Cleveland."

"I love this city and this city loves me as much."

"Grizzlies? They are very strong, and Lee is also very strong. He is very similar to me back then, but I think the final victory is still ours."

After hearing James' interview, Li Ran only said one sentence when he was interviewed by the same reporter.

"Whose championship is it? You'll know after four games."
