I'm good at basketball too

Note that what is said is that the strength has not declined much, not that the strength has not declined.

The loss of Li Ran is of course a big blow to the Grizzlies. It was also this year that people finally felt that the NBA championship was in suspense.

However, the Grizzlies are still the biggest favorites, not one of them.

This can be seen from the odds in Las Vegas.

Last year, the odds of the Grizzlies winning the championship were 1 to 3.2. This year, it has directly become 1 to 5.
And today's game between the Grizzlies and the Heat is also considered a preview of the finals. . . .

one.

After all, the Bulls, who reached the finals last year and were shaved by the Grizzlies, have not changed their main lineup this year.

So it's hard to say who in the East will make it to the finals.

However, the Heat strengthened Ray Allen this year. He directly abandoned Garnett and Pierce, who had fought together for several years, and chose to come to the Heat to assist James.

In fact, it's normal. Ray Allen is the oldest of the Celtics' Big Three. With the Celtics' lineup becoming weaker and weaker, it is understandable to choose to leave the team for his second ring.

Li Ran looked at the starting lineups of the two teams, and they were pretty much the same as he remembered.

"Ray Allen played the sixth man in the Heat, which complemented the Heat's backup firepower very well. Regardless of his age, he has degenerated into a pure shooter now, but no one can underestimate his role on the court. "

The barrage began to chat about Li Ran.

"Commentary, Ray Allen, Curry and you, which of the three of you is more accurate in three-pointers?"

Li Ran saw this barrage at a glance.

"Three-pointers, it should be Curry and I are the only one, Ray Allen is slightly inferior, to be specific, Curry and I are T0, Ray Allen and Klay are the only T1, and the rest Everyone is T2."

"Oh, I'm talking about the overall ranking in history."

Li Ran unabashedly praised himself for causing the barrage to blow up again.

"I've never seen such a brazen person!"

"I think beaver!"

"Why is there Klay, is it Klay Thompson from the Hornets?"

Of course, Li Ran can't say that his three-point shooting ability is not as good as Curry's. After all, his three-point shooting ability is equal to Curry's three-point shooting ability.

Moreover, Li Ran felt that for things like three-pointers, the accuracy alone is meaningless. You have to see what effect it can play in actual combat.

Mosaic's substitute player Novak missed only two three-pointers in the afternoon. This is already at the level of a hundred-step piercer, but what role can he play on the court?
The lack of confrontation ability makes it difficult for him to find the right shot timing on the court. This is different for Li Ran, Curry, Ray Allen and Clay.

Chatting and chatting, the game started soon.

As the game started, the barrage began to decrease, and Li Ran also started to watch the game exclusively.

"The Heat's most basic style of play this year is that James holds the ball in the high post and waits for an opportunity to pass it to Wade to go inside. But there is a very important point. Howard must pull out to pick and roll for him, otherwise there is not so much space inside for Wade. You can see that the Grizzlies' defense is very smart, Xiaojia doesn't pull it out at all, and you Howard can shoot outside if you have the ability."

"If all teams are like this? No, no, only the Grizzlies can do this, because if the players defending Howard don't pull out, James can also go in, but the Grizzlies link the inside and outside of Duncan and Kirilenko , if the two of them work together, the middle distance to the inside line will be completely an iron gate."

As Li Ran explained the game to the fans as if chatting, the first offense was just as he said, Duncan interfered with Wade's shot, Wade missed a throw, and Xiaojia grabbed the rebound.

Then, the Grizzlies put up a formation similar to the Heat's in the frontcourt.

Li Ran was delighted when he saw it.

"This is my favorite tactic to bully the Heat when I was in the Grizzlies. To put it bluntly, it is almost exactly the same as the tactic the Heat played just now, except that the ball holder has become Curry, and it is also the little Galla who came out. Pickled peppers go inside, but the Grizzlies have more tactical changes than the Heat."

As for why there are so many, it is useless for Li Ran to say, the Grizzly has already demonstrated it.

Xiao Jia mentioned that Curry was covered in a high position. After Curry slipped past, he passed the ball to Pickle. Pickle didn't end directly, but poured the ball out again.

At this time, the Heat's lineup was already crowded inside, and everyone was inside the three-point line, staring blankly at Xiaojia who was holding the ball alone at the top of the arc, and there was no one in the three-meter radius.

Xiaojia even had time to adjust his breathing, tiptoed slightly, and directly threw the ball.

The ball crossed a flat and fast arc, hit the back edge of the basket and bounced into the net.

This is the change of the Grizzlies' tactics.

Howard is only a threat in the low post, but Xiaojia's shooting range, after three years of hard training, has expanded beyond the three-point line.

His three-pointers can't be said to be accurate, but they are completely enough!
What bothers Spoelstra the most is the Grizzlies' tactics.

Because Howard pulls out is not, nor does not pull out.

If you pull it out, the inside line will be empty. If you don't pull it out, Duncan and Xiaojia both have medium and long-range shooting capabilities.

You know, the Heat's starting power forward is Haslem, who is only 2 meters tall. His interior defense can only be compensated with a positive attitude, but no matter Duncan or Xiaojia, playing him is casual.

If Haslem is allowed to pull out to defend Xiaojia, Duncan will not hesitate to fall to the low post.

To be honest, there are no more than three people in this league who can penetrate Howard's low-post defense.

But Duncan is definitely one of them.

Li Ran looked at it for a while, and found that the situation was similar to when he was in the Grizzlies, except that Curry's scoring weight was higher than when he was in the team, and the others got more shots.

"Don't look at it, with the Grizzlies' ability to control the field, the Heat have already lost [-]% of this game."

At the end of the first quarter, Li Ran watched the Grizzlies lead 23-30 by 7 points, and said with a smile.

Immediately, the bullet screen was full of "Okay, then I won't watch it." "See you next time." "That's the end of today's live broadcast."

Li Ran panicked immediately.

"Don't, don't, just kidding, keep watching, come back after watching the ad, I'll give you a lottery draw, draw today... let's draw ten sets of season tickets, just the Grizzlies, the ones that can be discounted, and draw another ten pairs For sneakers, the Ranyi generation is also fine, and Rose’s way is also fine.”

Li Ran, who admits to being cowardly, received a burst of praise from the barrage.

"A commentary is a human being."

"When will the commentator play a game for us on the spot?"

"The commentator doesn't go to play professionally to make a name for himself, but just stay here as a small commentator."

Seeing that the ratings didn't drop much even during the commercial, the director's mouth almost crooked.

It has to be Li Ran. (end of this chapter)
