I'm good at basketball too

Curry was injured, which reminded Li Ran of when he played against the Lakers in the playoffs in May.

After Pera took over the Grizzlies, he established a scientific and advanced sports health management system under Li Ran's suggestion, coupled with Calipari's reasonable use of veteran players, the Grizzlies have not suffered too many injuries.

But there are two. . .

Xiaojia and Curry, the absolute main players in positions [-] and [-], were injured in each of the two games.

However, Li Ran was helpless.

The system is still playing dead, and I don't know when the upgrade will be completed. Li Ran can't even drink the recovery potion now.

The position of point guard cannot be replaced by any cat or dog. It is impossible for Li Ran to move the refractory brick where he wants to be the Grizzlies.

At least the number one position is unplayable.

"Curry is injured, the Grizzlies are in trouble now."

"Yes, Curry has always been the organization core of the Grizzlies team. After he is injured and leaves the field, who can replace him?"

Calipari also has a lot of headaches.

Jeremy Lin?
Harvard's top students have more than enough impact, but their organizational skills have yet to be developed. At least they are still a bit weak in leading the offense of the Grizzlies.

Until Calipari saw the tall, skinny player sitting on the edge of the bench.

"Sean, come on!"

Livingston pointed to himself with some doubts. He was used to being a little transparent existence. Apart from training every day, he played very little time in the game. However, he was able to play after all.

For him, being able to continue playing is already very satisfying.

"Repress the rhythm after playing, don't let the Nuggets run, I believe you can."

Livingston stood up and looked at the court in a daze.

This is one of his rare opportunities to play in non-garbage time.

Li Ran looked at Livingston who stood up, and breathed a sigh of relief.

How to forget him.

As a meritorious player of the Warriors dynasty, although Livingston didn't play much time, his performance was extremely stable, and he perfectly filled the vacancy after Curry left the field.

His low-post small mid-range shot is even more signature.

From the Nuggets to the Grizzlies, Livingston worked hard, played when he was needed, and sat quietly off the court when he didn't need him. He never complained. very good.

Hollins saw that Calipari did not go to the Chinese player at Harvard, but went to Livingston, and he didn't know what he was planning.

Can this guy still play?

Didn't you get the ring with Li Ran through your relationship?
But in any case, this is also a good thing for the Nuggets.

The main force is on the bench, and the advantage lies with me.

Seeing that Livingston tidied up his jersey and walked onto the field in a somewhat restrained manner, Hollins was determined.

He seems to have seen the balance of victory tilted towards the Nuggets.

If facing the Grizzlies with a neat lineup, Hollins may still feel a little guilty. After all, the strength of the Nuggets' lineup this year has not improved, but has declined somewhat.

But with Duncan's Grizzlies, their strength must have improved.

The continuous injuries of Xiaojia and Curry gave Hollins hope of victory.

Li Ran patted Livingston on the shoulder.

"Don't be nervous, Sean, just play as you usually do in training."

Livingston nodded.

Duncan throws the ball to Livingston, who takes a deep breath and makes a tactical gesture.

The Grizzlies reacted like a well-trained army.

Even if this tactic surprised them a bit.

After a series of moves, Kirilenko, who held the ball outside, hoisted the ball into the low post.

The one who received the pass turned out to be Livingston who relied on Conley!
His first set of tactics after he came on the field turned out to be his own point!
After receiving the ball, Livingston didn't make much movement. After a simple shake, he jumped directly against Conley and completed a turn in the air.

Conley was caught off guard. Although he responded, he still did not interfere with Livingston's shot.

The ball is hollow into the net!
Livingston, who is more than two meters tall, faces Conley, who is 1.8 meters five, and the height advantage is too great.

Li Ran gestured a thumbs up to Livingston.

Livingston is not a mascot for the ring.

Grizzlies don't keep idlers!

Regardless of the injury factor, Livingston has an inherent advantage on the court.

Generally speaking, NBA point guards are already big if they are taller than 1.9 meters.

Not to mention Livingston who is over two meters tall?
Anthony came to the frontcourt, faced Li Ran's defensive catch and three threats, and then stood still.

Even Li Ran doesn't have much to do with Anthony's style of play. To put it bluntly, whether the ball can score or not depends entirely on Anthony's touch.

Looking back, it's still the same singles tactics.

Livingston again shot over Conley's head.

Although not as explosive as Curry's three-pointer, Livingston's low-post mid-range turnaround jumper gives people a very stable feeling.

When the ball goes out, you feel it.

Hollins didn't expect this player who was basically out of the court to be so stable, and he knocked Conley out of the game after he came on the court.

He immediately arranged for JR to replace OJ Mayo and let JR defend Livingston.

The 1.9-meter-eight JR defended Livingston much more easily.

Hollins thought so.

But he ignored a very fatal problem.

If JR switches on Livingston, who is Conley's matchup?

The answer is of course Li Ran!
Seeing JR standing in front of him, Livingston passed the ball without even thinking about it.

After receiving the ball, Li Ran didn't stop at all. He even seemed to know that Livingston was going to pass the ball to him, and he had already made preparations in advance.

After receiving the ball, he passed Conley in one step, and it was a dunk when he got inside.

Conley felt bitter.

Why are you all coming at me?
Hollins sighed.

Li Ran's ball, or the ball passed to Li Ran by Livingston, seemed to have slapped him in the face.

"Why can the Grizzlies attack and pass the ball by just pulling someone up from the bench?"

No way, Hollins can only ask JR and Anthony to help Conley wipe his ass.

The Grizzlies' work is not over yet, and Curry's injury seems to have activated a certain switch in Calipari.

In the second quarter, Calipari made another adjustment, replacing pickled peppers with Dabaibian.

As a result, the average height of the Grizzlies lineup has reached an astonishing 2.05!

Li Ran is the shortest one. . . .

Livingston began to pass the ball to Duncan honestly. Duncan also asked for anything in the face of Millsap. In terms of height, strength, and skills, Mi Shen couldn't compete with the Grizzlies' No. 21.

Fortunately, the Nuggets team feels good during this time, and the point difference has not been widened.

However, again, the team's touch cannot be maintained for a whole game.

Compared to Calipari, who was sitting comfortably off the court, Hollins walked up and down in front of the technical table with some anxiety. (end of this chapter)
