I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 52 Ready!

If Li Ran remembers correctly, after Billups was traded this season, the Nuggets ushered in a transformation.

They have been steadily entering the playoffs and stopped in the first round. Not only did they achieve a good result of 54 wins and 28 losses this year, but they also passed all the way and reached the Western Conference finals in the playoffs, and finally lost to the peak Kobe.

Thinking of the way Anthony looked at him at the end of the training camp, Li Ran seemed to understand something.

Yao Ming's call came right away.

"Brother, I heard that you have been traded." Yao Ming said in a low voice on the other side.

"Yes, Nuggets." Li Ran said calmly.

Yao Ming obviously regretted it.

"It's a pity, I still want us to join forces and perform well when we get there." Yao Ming didn't show too much reluctance. He knew that this is a business alliance. If the team chooses to keep you, then It must be because of interests.

If the team chooses to trade you, it must be because of interests.

Ross also called later, expressing sympathy for Li Ran's experience.

However, he is very happy in the Bulls now. The Bulls are very satisfied with his talent and strength. They hold it in their hands like a treasure. After the official start of the season, his good performance will shock the entire league.

Walking out of Denver International Airport with big bags and small bags on his back, Li Ran looked up at the sky that was completely different on the plateau and on the plain.

"This rookie class should be the roughest for me. I haven't played a regular season and have already been traded twice." Li Ran smiled self-deprecatingly, but found someone in front of him waving at him.

Anthony was wearing a white hoodie, with one hand in his pocket and the other waving towards him constantly.

There was a happy smile on his round face.

"Hey Lee, here it is!"

He opened the car door next to him. It was a BMW 740LI he bought after signing the endorsement. It was cool and expensive.

Li Ran walked over and unceremoniously put his luggage in the trunk.

His friendship with Anthony was all fought in the training camp.

Bullfighting.

In fact, it was a bullfight, or more precisely, Li Ran was beaten unilaterally.

His attributes do not have any advantages in bullfighting. It is normal for him to be deflated against someone like Anthony Kobe or even Jordan who has played singles all his life.

"Welcome to Denver."

Anthony and Li Ran gave a warm hug and said with a smile.

Looking at Anthony, who was wearing big sunglasses and a white hoodie, who looked like a gangster, but was actually a gangster, Li Ran also smiled.

"I didn't expect you to miss me all the time."

"Get in the car first, get in the car and talk."

Anthony sat in the driver's seat and motioned for Li Ran to also sit up.

The two started walking from the airport to the Pepsi Center.

"Did you know? Not only the Nuggets, but also the Lakers, Pacers, Bobcats and Suns have all made offers. I heard that from George." Anthony said to Li Ran while driving.

"Oh?"

Li Ran really didn't know.

"Do you know what price they are offering?"

Li Ran shook his head.

"Jordan was willing to exchange Richardson for you, but unfortunately we had the last laugh."

Hearing what Anthony said, Li Ran was a little surprised.

Mosaic Is this Shi Lezhi?No star players?

But thinking about this year's Mosaic lineup, Li Ran nodded again.

The few people Mosaic got really benefited their lineup a lot, and if injuries are not counted, there are already many stars in the Mosaic team, McGrady, Yao Ming, Artest, and Richardson may not be good thing.

"By the way, what do you think of Chauncey?"

Anthony asked seemingly inadvertently.

"Chauncey? He's a good player. I heard that his free throws are very accurate." Li Ran didn't know much about the Pistons' former core, but he knew that he was a player whose strength was far greater than his fame.

"Hopefully we can go further this season. I'm tired of going fishing after the first round every year, especially with that guy LeBron doing so well these past few years. Not to mention Dwayne, he Already have a ring!" While waiting for the car at the intersection, Anthony patted the steering wheel with some dissatisfaction, touched the horn, and made a beep.

Banana Boat Brothers. . .

Li Ran wanted to laugh a little.

It seems that the four of them did not win the championship with Anthony and Pao.

In fact, Anthony did not have a chance in his previous life.

However, Li Ran wanted to ask him a question.

He decided to go to the Knicks, whether he was going for bad money, or if he was really planning to win the championship.

If it happened to be bad money, it can only be said that Guagua had already laid flat at that time.

If you are rushing to win the championship, then Li Ran can only say, Guagua, your heart is really big. . .

However, now because of Li Ran's arrival, everything is different from his previous life. Li Ran is also looking forward to how far he can go in the Nuggets, partnering with Anthony and Billups.

"By the way, why did you play so poorly in the summer league?" Anthony asked Li Ran again when he was about to reach the Pepsi Center.

"Don't others know that you don't know? The training camp is not over yet. I didn't train with the team at that time. I ran back and forth between Chicago and the competition venue every day. After the training, I have to continue the competition. How can I be in a good state?" Li Ran said angrily. Said.

Anthony laughed happily.

"Then when it's the preseason, let them all be shocked. I won't play too much time in the preseason, and there is a big stage for you to perform."

"Of course, I want them to know that none of the shooting guards with the 13th pick are parallel imports." Li Ran said confidently.

When he came to the Pepsi Center, Li Ran met George Karl for the first time, as well as other Nuggets teammates.

Sophisticated and steady Billups, JR Smith and Chris Anderson in a pattern, Kenyon Martin exuding a tough aura, facing the honest and honest fighter NeiNei Hilario.

They are preparing for the upcoming new season, after all, there are only a few days before the preseason game of the season preview.

In the evening, Anthony, as the core of the team, organized a party at his home to welcome new players like Li Ran, Billups and Anderson.

However, except for Anthony who was very concerned about Li Ran, the others did not show too much attention to Li Ran.

After all, Li Ran is still a rookie player who has not passed any tests. Only his strength will make them approach him actively.

The Nuggets' first preseason game was an away game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves also had an old opponent of Li Ran, UCLA's Kevin Love who was beaten by him in the NCAA semifinals.

After leaving Garnett, the Timberwolves' strength on paper is actually good. They have Al Jefferson, who is known as the new wolf king, and this year's rookie Kevin Love.

There are Randy Foye, Ryan Gomez and Mike Miller on the outside.

But none of this matters.

Li Ran didn't care who his opponent was.

Just blow them up!
On October 2008, 10, Li Ran stood on the floor of the Timberwolves' home court, the Target Center, looking at the stage he was about to step on.

He is ready!
