I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 339 Take a Break

"Li Ran, congratulations."

Ross was sour on the phone with Li Ran.

While Li Ran was in a hurry to change his son's diaper, he was laughing silly at the hands-free cell phone.

"Brother, this is strength, do you understand strength?"

Next to him, the nanny hired with huge sums of money stood with his arms tied, feeling that he was very redundant.

Isn't this guy a big star?How do you see the child so excited?
Isn't a stadium as big as the backyard the place where he should stay?

In the fourth season of his professional career, Li Ran won the highest honor of regular season MVP for the second time.

After skillfully changing the diaper, Li Ran put Li Pingan on the stroller, gestured to the nanny, and went out with his mobile phone.

That's right, Li Ran's son, whose nickname is Ping An, is also called Ping An. The implication is very simple, that is, he hopes that the child will live in peace for the rest of his life.

The English name is Bruce.

Having the same name as China's international superstar Bruce Lee is a kind of tribute.

After all, they are all Chinese people living in the United States.

He slowly walked to the side of the court behind, and chatted with Rose slowly with his mobile phone.

"Li Ran, where are you going at the end of this season?"

Ross heard the cries of no children around Li Ran, and knew that Li Ran had come to a secluded place, so he asked.

"Didn't I say, I'm going to take a break." Li Ran smiled slightly and said to Rose.

"What are you kidding!"

Rose's tone suddenly became more intense.

"Derek, to be honest, I'm a little tired now. I feel that I lack goals. There are no opponents in the league worthy of my challenge."

Rose couldn't understand Li Ran's current mood at all. He tried his best to fail to win a championship. Now Li Ran has started to seek defeat alone.

"So you're going to retire?" He took a deep breath and asked slowly.

"Retired? What are you kidding! How can I not play basketball, I am just going to take a break to spend time with Taylor and my son, and I will come back when I am ready to accept the challenge again."

Ross breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. When you come back, I should have won the championship."

"At least, you won't be able to get this ring before I leave the alliance." Li Ran said confidently.

"That's not necessarily true. Let's see you again in the finals this year." Rose didn't flinch.

"Derek, I hope you will keep your original intention no matter what happens." Li Ran said something that made Ross a little confused.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, go back and prepare for the game."

Facing his opponent in the second round, Li Ran didn't have the slightest pressure.

The peak Nuggets led by Anthony back then couldn't shake the Grizzlies at all, let alone the almost brand-new team that is now playing with blood and courage.

The Nuggets led by OJ-Mayo and Conley are almost a replica of the Grizzlies Li Ran in his previous life.

On the other side, Kobe will face the challenge of the young Durant.

The Thunder's management can be said to have a discerning eye, and in just a few years, they have built the Thunder into a very competitive team.

The combination of the Thunder's three young men plus Ibaka and Perkins allowed them to overturn the Mavericks in the first round.

In the East, the Bulls are against the Knicks, and the Heat are against the Celtics.

In fact, this round of the game can be called strong and weak. Although the Knicks' strength on paper looks good, they faced the maturing Bulls in the regular season and had a record of 1 win and 3 losses.

On the other hand, the Celtics, who are one year older, have little chance of winning in the face of the Heat who are extremely impactful and eager for revenge.

The only thing to watch may be the confrontation between Kobe and Durant.

Sure enough, the Grizzlies swept the Nuggets effortlessly in the second round.

In Li Ran's words, he didn't sweat much this round of the series.

The Lakers and the Nuggets fought seven games, and finally in the tiebreaker, Kobe made a lore shot over Durant's head and once again dragged the team into the finals.

这七场比赛中，科比场均31.3分5.6篮板6.6助攻，杜兰特则是场均33.3分7.9篮板4.4助攻。

Durant wins the stats, but loses the game.

As for why?
Westbrook's "Durant's best defender" has just shown his power. In the series, he averaged 15.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. He averaged 6.6 turnovers per game and his shooting percentage was only a poor 34.3%.

And Paul, who was facing him, averaged 21.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 11.5 assists and 3 steals per game, showing a steady performance.

The youngest of the Thunder's three minors—James Harden's performance as the sixth man is remarkable, averaging 16.6 points per game.

Although Yao Ming is already at the end of his peak, he still educated the inside combination composed of Ibaka and Perkins, averaging 18.8 points, 11.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2 blocks per game.

The results of the other games were similar to what the media predicted before the game.

The Bulls won the Knicks 4:1 cleanly. The Knicks still have a long road to rebuilding. They have almost no other scoring points except for Anthony, Stoudemire and JR Smith.

The Heat swept the Celtics 4:0. James was really crazy, averaging 35.6 points, 7.7 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game. The Celtics couldn't stop him from playing with all their methods.

The Big Three are almost certain to disintegrate after the end of this season.

The Celtics Big Three that once led the league for an era finally came to an end after winning a championship trophy.

In this year's playoffs, the matchups in the conference finals were exactly the same as last year.

Even the rankings are exactly the same.

The first Grizzlies in the West played against the second Lakers.

The No. [-] Bulls in the East played against the No. [-] Heat.

I just don't know if the result will be the same.

"Lee, we've reached the division finals. From now on, don't continue to be a substitute, go to start. The most important thing is to win this championship trophy steadily." Calipari before G1 of the Western Conference Finals , Said to Li Ran like this.

Li Ran nodded.

Even Pickled Pepper has no complaints, what a joke, his starting lineup was originally given to him by Li Ran, and the Grizzlies now have a neat lineup, and he is not comfortable playing the shooting guard position. sixth person.

In the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the commentator suddenly became excited when he saw the starting roster sent by the Grizzlies.

After almost a year, the Grizzlies finally came up with this starting lineup.

Stephen Curry!

Li Ran!

Andrei Kirilenko!

Tim Duncan!

Marc Gasol!
This set made countless people terrified last year, and the super starter who swept everything finally appeared again.

The moment they saw this lineup, countless bookmakers immediately lowered the odds of the Lakers, although the odds of the Lakers winning were more than three to one. . . .

The terrifying sense of oppression and dominance that this grizzly bear brought to everyone seemed to be still in front of them.
