I'm good at basketball too

Li Ran accepted Calipari's arrangement completely, and after returning home, he fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already noon the next day.

It was already getting hot in New Orleans in May. Li Ran came to the floor-to-ceiling window in his underwear, opened the curtains, and the sun shone on his face. He subconsciously squinted his eyes.

There was no one at home. Swift was still taking care of the child in the hospital and eating something hastily. Li Ran got dressed and sat on the sofa in a daze.

If Li Ran remembers correctly, the last game was the first time since his time travel that he felt bad due to physical problems.

This gave him a sense of crisis.

The system that has left does not have much time left for him.

Fortunately, this is different from the physical problems caused by age by veterans such as Yao Ming and Duncan. This time, Li Ran's problem occurred accidentally because of his child's illness and being unable to rest.

Clenching his fists, Li Ran walked out of the house and drove to the training hall.

The game is tomorrow, and the Hornets' training these two days will also focus on targeted tactical training and recovery training.

Li Ran's timely return to the team and recovery of form also gave the Hornets players reassurance.

With or without Li Ran, the Hornets are almost two completely different teams. Although they still have Rose who has returned to his peak, it is still difficult for them to compete with the Grizzlies with Rose and the still-growing Jokic and Klay.

The next night, Li Ran started the game, still playing in the backcourt with Rose, and Butler, A Lian and Yao Ming started up front.

This is the new arrangement made by Calipari. Yao Ming is the only remaining low-post weapon in the league. Although he is in the last years of his career, he still has extremely high offensive efficiency in his limited playing time.

Even though Marc is already one of the best defensive centers in the league, it is still difficult to stop Yao Ming in the low post.

Not to mention the Arab League, he is almost second only to Nowitzki and Bosh among the league's space-based fourth positions.

The reason for this arrangement is because Calipari wants to reduce the pressure on Li Ran and Rose on the offensive end.

The offensive power of the Grizzlies lineup is too strong. Someone has already made a detailed comparison. After counting various high-level data, they were surprised to find that the current Grizzlies, with Curry and Pickled Pepper as the core, are better at attacking. In terms of performance, they are almost the same as the Nuggets who just won the championship.

You know, the Nuggets that Li Ran just left brought together a large group of star players such as Anthony, JR, OJ Mayo, Rudy Gay, Billups and Conley.

And now the Grizzlies, who are almost led by Curry and Pickle, are almost as good as the Nuggets in terms of offensive ability, which shows how good the two are now.

Li Ran was not surprised by this. After all, in another time and space, Curry was the top attacker in the league's history, and Paojiao was also one of the top three elite small forwards in the league. At his peak, he could even lead the Pacers to resist. James exists.

Coupled with the assistance of Xiaojia, Duncan, Jeremy Lin and others, their strength has always remained among the favorites to compete for the championship.

It's always good to be careful.

However, Calipari clearly didn't realize one thing.

That is, the duo of Li Ran and Rose will only be stronger on both offense and defense than Curry and Pickle!
Watching Li Ran and Rose's next performance on the court, the Hornets fans on the sidelines couldn't sit still in their chairs.

It’s so burning, so exciting, so fucking awesome. . .

The Gemini, who had no offensive blind spots at all, had a tacit understanding on the court as if they were one person. The fans even had the illusion that as long as the two of them advance together, the goal must be scored.

The most exciting thing is the connection between the two people. Whether it is Rose passing the ball to Li Ran or Li Ran passing the ball to Rose, the two people can bring a different kind of beauty and violence to everyone from passing to finishing. feel.Rose got inside and passed Curry who was blocking the way - with Curry's defensive level, it was quite good to be able to block Rose. Then facing the empty blue, Rose did not choose to dunk, but did not look back. Throwing the ball into the sky seemingly casually, he opened his arms and faced the camera.

The camera captured this scene perfectly. Behind Ross, who raised his hands in celebration, was Li Ran, who was flying in the air like a god descending from heaven.

This excellent collaboration, which can be compared with the famous Janeway connection back then, has become an eternal memory for fans.

Yao Ming and Duncan, who are old and strong, continue to love each other on the court.

This season, both of them have basically become marginal figures on the court, averaging less than ten points per game for the first time in their careers.

But this does not affect the core status of the two in their respective teams at all.

As the saying goes, a family has a treasure, just like an old person.

The experience of two people on the court is the most valuable asset of their respective teams.

Moreover, this does not affect their performance in the limited playing time.

The playing time is less and the number of shots is less, but the efficiency on the court has not decreased.

Watching Yao Ming easily and effortlessly hit a hook shot over Xiaojia's head, and Duncan also throwing a ball over Ah Lian's head into the frame, Li Ran couldn't help but have a complicated feeling.

Both of them were his youth, but their youth was almost over.

At the same time, the entanglement between Butler and Pickle on the court is also a highlight.

The styles of the two are very similar. They are both standard small forwards with all-around offense and defense. Their confrontations on the court highlight a passionate exchange.

Pickled Pepper with his front foot stepped back over Butler's head and succeeded in a three-pointer. Butler hit back with his backhand and fired a fadeaway jumper that was not elegant but practical.

However, looking at Butler's movements when playing from behind, Li Ran had to admit it.

He looks so much like Jordan. . .

At the end of the half, the Grizzlies fell behind very directly.

Although they were in a stalemate with the Hornets in the first half, they were never able to tie or overtake the score.

Although Curry and Pickle are already at the top of the league in terms of scoring explosiveness, Li Ran and Rose opposite them are even better than them in terms of scoring!
The two people broke out again and again, but were blocked by Li Ran and Ross.

In two quarters, Curry scored 17 points and Paojiao scored 16 points.

Li Ran scored 21 points and Rose scored 20 points.

The difference in points between the two teams is exactly the difference in points between the four players.

8 points!
Calipari also felt in the midfield that he did not need to put Yao Ming and Arab League on the court at the same time to enhance the team's offensive level, because Li Ran and Rose hadn't even tried their best!
In the third quarter, Calipari switched to his most commonly used inside combination, playing Teacher Yue and Chasing Dreams together.

After Li Ran and Rose came on the court again, the Grizzlies still failed to tie the score.

Although there is only a tiny three-point gap left, these three points are like a chasm! (End of chapter)
