I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 58 Show your sharpness! 45
When Li Ran heard Brewer's trash talk, his expression didn't change at all.

He felt that he was in a very strange state now, and everything around him seemed to have no effect on him.

Brewer, or the Jazz's coaching staff has obviously studied Li Ran in the preseason. His defensive position is very particular, and he is the most suitable position for preventing breakthroughs.

Li Ran seemed to be dribbling the ball carelessly, but Brewer didn't have the slightest thought of going forward to steal it.

"You want to trick me into stealing and losing my position? Your thinking is too simple." Brewer thought complacently.

Before he finished thinking, Li Ran moved.

However, he did not choose to break through, but rose from a big step beyond the three-point line.

Billups frowned slightly as he watched Li Ran's attack.

He thought that Li Ran wanted to show off so much that even the timing of his shots became abnormal.

The thought lasted only a second before dissipating.

Li Ran's ultra-long three-pointer entered the net hollowly and made a wonderful "swish" sound.

"Strike!" Billups shouted happily.

Li Ran didn't even look at Brewer, who was sitting on wax in front of him, and silently backed away.

In the process of retreating, Li Ran glanced at Kirilenko who was sitting on the Jazz bench.

AK47 unexpectedly did not start the game. Originally, George Karl thought that he would come up to defend Anthony, so he made some special arrangements.

这家伙可能是NBA有史以来最好的侧翼防守者了，他的职业生涯中一共打出过3次5X5的数据，巅峰期常年有着场均1.5抢断和接近3个盖帽的恐怖防守数据。

After Boozer's pick-and-roll, he made a steady mid-range hit. Although the pick-and-roll was not set by a fat guy in a suit sitting on the sidelines, the tradition of the Jazz's pick-and-roll has been imprinted in his bones.

As soon as Kenyon Martin picked up the ball, he heard someone shouting in the frontcourt: "Kenyon, pass the ball!"

When he looked up, Li Ran was already running to the field at high speed.

What a joke, how can I have the ability to pass the ball to you.

He quickly threw the ball into the hands of Billups standing in front of him.

Billups also saw Li Ran's crazy movements.

He was surprised, but still threw the ball forward with a stone-throwing motion.

"Are you kidding, this is the NBA, not your Memphis Tigers."

He cursed in his heart, but soon stopped and started applauding vigorously.

When Li Ran received the ball, he had already reached the penalty area, because Billups was thrown in the middle. When he received the ball, Price, who retreated the fastest, was already in place.

But he took his time, switching the ball suddenly from his left hand behind his back to his right on the move.

Price jumped up to interfere, only to find that there was no ball on his side of the defense.

Li Ran completely swayed Price away, he jumped up easily, turned around and dunked the ball into the basket.

At this moment, people seem to see the Lakers' No. 8 dancing on the court wearing the Nuggets' No. 0 jersey.

Elegant, it is too elegant!

This ball is too similar to Kobe's ball back then.

Coincidentally, Kobe, who was still wearing the No. 8 jersey, scored the goal when he was facing the Nuggets.

The fans stood up involuntarily, holding their heads in disbelief.

The dunk of this ball is not the best, and the extraordinary is not gorgeous, but it is full of spirituality everywhere.

After Li Ran came on the court, he changed from his previous meek style, showing his sharpness, scoring five points in a row!

The Jazz's offense, Brewer's strong three-pointer undoubtedly missed.

In all fairness, the company commander's corner three-pointer is quite accurate.

It's a pity that I have a stinky problem, I like to push people to vote.

I don't know if Curry was possessed when he shot the ball.

Cold knowledge, as a 3D player, the company commander's career three-point shooting percentage is a pitiful 25.4%.

Li Ran rushed into the inside line, and the four of Okur, Boozer and his team's two inside lines snatched the ball over their heads.

After landing, he threw the ball far in front of him vigorously, shifted to fifth gear in an instant, and started racing.

His ball actually bounced directly under Brewer's crotch.

A gust of cold wind blew under Brewer's crotch. He reacted very quickly and turned around to catch the ball, but the moment he turned around, Li Ran had already passed him.

Does this count as the self after passing the ball three seconds later on the basketball court?
Following Li Ran who was running wildly with the ball, Brewer felt a little desperate. He found that he couldn't outrun Li Ran with the ball without the ball.

In order to catch up with Li Ran, Brewer's hands began to make small movements. His hands kept grabbing the hem of Li Ran's jersey, stopping for a while, trying to delay Li Ran's advance with the ball.

But the quality of the jersey was excellent. He even pulled out the hem of the jersey into a triangle, but he still couldn't stop Li Ran's advance.

In the end, Breuer lost his balance and fell heavily on the ground. He slid forward a long way, and he could only helplessly watch Li Ran striding towards his restricted area.

Li Ran felt light when he escaped Brewer's clutches.

He strides to the three-point line, then stops the dribble.

Holding the ball with one hand in his right hand, Li Ran jumped up one step inside the free throw line.

He glides in the air with one hand holding the ball for a while, and dunks the ball lightly into the basket.

Less than 2 minutes into the game, Li Ran, who played in the NBA regular season for the first time, unexpectedly scored seven consecutive points!
Jerry Sloan looked at the crazy Li Ran with his hands behind his back.

He looked at Kirilenko sitting next to him, intending to send him on the field, but worried about Kirilenko's injury.

That's right, not only Deron was injured, Kirilenko also had some minor injuries before the game, so Sloan didn't let him start.

Li Ran's set of combo punches obviously hit the Jazz by surprise, and Price, who played the vacant cameo, gestured repeatedly in the frontcourt to signal his teammates to keep the tempo down.

"What's the origin of this kid, why is he so fast?" Price called the pick-and-roll while thinking.

Okur had already been pulled out, and Hilario was also brought out by the way.

He is an extremely rare center in this era who uses three-pointers as his main offensive method.

Okur, who is now considered an outlier, would not have imagined that ten years later, three-pointers have become a must-have regular scoring method for centers.

Towns, Embiid, Jokic, Lopez, and even Gasol Jr. have extremely accurate three-pointers. (I feel like I missed someone, oh, I remembered, it was Curry.)
Brother Gua completely turned into a melon-eating crowd in this competition. The better Li Ran performed, the happier he was, so he had already planned to let Li Ran perform alone in this competition, and he was responsible for covering Li Ran's bottom line.

Boozer cut inside after the pick-and-roll, carried Kenyon Martin and hit the basket.

This time, the Jazz's backcourt started to retreat before Boozer made a shot.

I retreated in advance, you can't play three-one-four in the frontcourt, can you?
