I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 32 This is my stage!

Today Memphis is wearing their white home jersey, Li Ran glanced at the number 23 standing in front of him.

"Derek, are you all right?"

Ross turned his head and forced a laugh.

"never mind."

Li Ran nodded, and stood directly in the middle circle, ready to fight for the ball.

Darrell Arthur was a little surprised to see Li Ran standing opposite him, but he also watched the game between Memphis and UCLA and knew that Li Ran's jump ball was his secret weapon, so he didn't say anything.

So, Li Ran gave the Kansas team some small bouncing shocks.

He came second and was almost a full hand above Darrell Arthur when he got the ball.

After Rose received the ball, he slowly dribbled to the frontcourt.

To his surprise, Li Ran took the initiative to pull out from the flank and asked for the ball with his hands open.

Accidents are accidents, Ross immediately handed the ball to Li Ran.

Seeing Li Ran catch the ball, Self's heart tightened off the field.

He had studied this little man from China as early as when Li Ran first appeared on the stage.

At first, he was also confused by Li Ran, thinking that Li Ran was just the kind of breakthrough master with muscles in his brain and a good body.

But the last game against UCLA made Self EMO all of a sudden.

A breakthrough master who can shoot and a breakthrough master who can't shoot are completely two concepts.

And if the two can be combined, then this player basically puts a label on it.

unstoppable.

It can be said that in terms of offense, apart from organization, such a player has no shortcomings.

So seeing Li Ran catch the ball, his heart tightened.

Of course, Self made corresponding defensive tactics against Li Ran before the game, and now is the time to test whether his tactics are effective or not.

Li Ran held the ball and faced Brandon Rush, who was defending him, with sharp eyes.

He's reading Kansas' defense.

Brandon Rush is the perimeter defensive gate of the University of Kansas. In the quarterfinals, he locked up Curry and allowed the University of Kansas to narrowly beat Davidson College by two points.

And his scoring ability is equally good, second only to Chalmers in the University of Kansas lineup.

It can even be said that in some respects, he is much more important than Chalmers.

In this game, he took over the task of defending Li Ran without hesitation.

However, Li Ran saw more.

Darrell Arthur and Russell Robinson are also very particular about their positions. Li Ran seems to have seen it. If he passes Brandon Rush, the two will immediately surround him. At that time, Li Ran will face It is an unfavorable situation where there is interception in the front and chasing troops in the back.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"This kind of defense can limit me? Thinking too much."

He began to dribble quickly, and the ball seemed to come to life as it flipped back and forth between his hands.

But this couldn't fool Rush. As an elite defensive player, Li Ran's actions couldn't fool his eyes.

Rush remained motionless.

Joey Doucilla came up and set a pick-and-roll for Li Ran. Rush passed the pick immediately and was ready to switch defenses with his teammates at any time.

What he never expected was that this turned out to be a fake pick and roll.

"why?"

Brandon Rush clearly knew that Li Ran did not show excellent passing ability. If this fake pick-and-roll wasn't for passing the ball to the inside player, its power would be greatly reduced.

Before he had time to think about it, Rush stood in front of Li Ran again.

However, Li Ran made a wonderful pass to the ground, and Joey Dorsey, who cut inside, received the ball very comfortably.

After receiving the ball, Joey Dorsey carried Darrell Arthur and scored the ball to open the scoring for Memphis.

Self never expected that Li Ran would use such a method to crack his carefully designed defensive strategy.

Not even Joey Dorsey thought of it.

He just cut to the inside in a disciplined manner, but the next moment, Li Ran's ball was passed over like a shadow.

Looking back, Li Ran smiled and gave him a thumbs up, indicating that Joey Dorsey scored a beautiful goal.

During this period of time, Li Ran spent all his systematic training time on passing the ball.

And his passing ability has also successfully risen to 56 points.

Although it is still not enough to organize the team's offense in series like Rose, he can already guide the simple tactics very well.

As for tactics, apart from singles, there is nothing simpler than pick-and-roll. .

Chalmers dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. He looked at Rose who stood in front of him. He was not in a hurry to play the high and low post tactics that his team was best at, but decided to try singles first.

What he never expected was that he broke through Rose's defense very easily, and then succeeded in a mid-range jumper.

Rose now felt that his whole body was soft, as if his feet were stepped on cotton. Although he tried his best to defend Chalmers, he couldn't keep up with his opponent's movements at all.

Li Ran didn't think too much about it. He saw that Rose received Joey Dorsey's fast serve, and subconsciously ran to the frontcourt.

The fast counterattack tactics that the University of Kansas is best at will be staged in the finals.

However, Li Ran didn't receive Ross's pass at all.

Just after halftime, Rose was intercepted by Chalmers who followed from behind, and successfully fought a counterattack.

This time, Li Ran finally realized something was wrong.

Rose's state is too bad, and it is impossible for him to drop this kind of ball on weekdays.

Looking at Rose, who was propped up on his knees, unwilling to look at the backcourt, Li Ran came to him and pulled him up.

"You slowly recover, and leave this time to me."

Ross glanced at the resolute Li Ran, and nodded helplessly.

He swore he would never eat a gummy bear again.

Li Ran came to the bottom line, signaled to Joey Dorsey to hand the ball directly to him, and took the ball to the frontcourt.

Although it's just dribbling to the frontcourt, this is already another tactical category.

To put it more simply, this is a singles tactic specially designed for Li Ran.

Li Ran planned to use this set of tactics to fight next.

Looking at Brandon Rush squatting halfway in front of him, Li Ran decided to try how he felt today.

So, under the surprised eyes of CDR who ran up to meet him, Li Ran jumped up one meter away from the three-point line.

Brandon Rush turned pale with shock, but it was too late.

He could only look back to see if the ball Li Ran could score.

Because the shot is faster, the arc of the ball is flat and fast, which is quite a bit like McGrady's jumper.

In the end, the ball also hit the inside of the basket cleanly and fell into the basket.

Before the high-raised shooting hand fell, Li Ran directly clenched his fist and waved it excitedly.

It feels good, next, just watch my performance.

　I will write the rest tomorrow, I can't bear it anymore. . .
