I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 80 George Karl's Plan

"Have you noticed that since the first fight, Li seems to have become enlightened. In these few games, he hasn't suffered a bit from small moves."

On the bench, Jason Williams said to Szczerbiak.

Szczerbiak nodded: "Without Bynum, the Lakers can't beat us with Kobe and Gasol alone, right?"

"As long as Kobe doesn't go crazy." White Chocolate said with determination.

His premise is very interesting, because if Kobe becomes stubborn, let alone hurt Bynum, even if he brings a group of NBDL players, it is hard to say that you can win the Lakers.

Fortunately, it seems that Kobe is not so determined to win or lose today.

After Bynum left the field, the offensive rhythm of both sides suddenly picked up.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Nuggets by 36 points 28-8.

Kobe Bryant scored 28 of the team's 16 points, Gasol scored 8 points, but the rest of the team felt mediocre.

Li Ran played well in the first quarter. The Nuggets under the control of Billups can now be fast or slow. Under his command, Li Ran shuttled back and forth between the front and back courts in the first quarter and scored 9 points in a single quarter. 9 rebounds, almost got a double-double in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the two sides sent a substitute lineup, but the Lakers continued to be led by Kobe.

"Kobe doesn't want to lose."

Seeing Kobe jumping and scoring non-stop, Li Ran lay on the chair and said to Anthony next to him.

"Let's see how JR is doing today."

Billups and JR lead the Nuggets' bench lineup, and whether the Nuggets' bench lineup is gangsters or loose sand depends entirely on JR's state.

It is obvious that JR is not in a good state today, maybe he sneaked out last night to enjoy the customs of Los Angeles?

Turning around, Li Ran was going to ask JR to let him talk about it.

"Hey, Lee, look who that is."

Anthony suddenly poked Li Ran in the stomach, pointed to the sideline and said to him.

Li Ran turned his head and found a very familiar figure.

"Isn't that Emma Watson?"

It's normal to watch a Lakers game as a star.

But what does it mean you're wearing a Nuggets number 0?
Emma Watson felt that someone was looking at her, and when she saw Li Ran, a smile appeared on her face.

"do not do that.."

Li Ran's heart skipped a beat.

This little girl is so pretty when she smiles.

"If I remember correctly, she was born in 90, that is...not 19 years old this year?"

Li Ran, who has been a man for two lives, only thinks that Emma is still a child now, and completely forgets that he is only a little over 19 years old now.

Emma put on some light makeup today. Her upper body is a white sweater with a half turtleneck and a pair of jeans underneath, highlighting her youthful invincibility.

After she finished laughing, she turned around and pointed with two fingers.

And that big LI character.

Li Ran blushed.

"There are fans watching the game, so you didn't perform better in this game?" Anthony said narrowly.

While the two were talking and laughing, George Karl called a timeout with a dark face.

It turned out that in just a few minutes, the Lakers had evened the eight-point difference. . .

JR walked down the field with his head down, leaving a report card that made the Lakers very satisfied.

2分2篮板1助攻4失误，6投1中。。。

Billups was very disappointed.

Can't take it.

If it weren't for him and Szczerbiak to stabilize the situation, it would not be as simple as being equalized now.

"Lee, Mello, come on!"

George Karl suppressed his anger and said to Li Ran and Anthony.

The two nodded at the same time.

The rhythm of the Lakers' game has been disrupted. Kobe, who did not rest for 1 minute, and Anzhu, who was off the field due to injury.

On the other side, Phil Jackson still put Kobe on the court and replaced Farmar, Ariza and other substitutes.

He cannot accept his team being beaten at home.

However, the situation on the field is not based on Phil's own will. After returning to the field, facing the siege of Billups, Anthony and Li Ran, even though Kobe tried his best, he could only watch the score. It was almost pulled away a little bit.

Seeing that the team's form is very good, but George Karl's face has not been getting better.

"What's the matter, George?"

The assistant coach asked carefully.

George Karl shook his head.

At this time, Gasol happened to be leaning against Birdman Anderson in the low post, and made a half-stop basket.

"The team's interior needs to be strengthened." George Karl's words startled the assistant coach.

In all fairness, although the Nuggets are not a team that focuses on the inside, the inside is really not weak.

The Brazilian center and Kenyon Martin's inside starting duo are good except for a slight disadvantage in height.

Hilario has averaged 12 points and 7 rebounds per game so far this season, and Kenyon Martin has averaged 11 points and 5 rebounds per game.

What's more, there are Birdman Anderson on the bench, potential rookie Johan Petrol and others.

However, how could George Karl, who is a famous coach, not know?
When he says this now, there is a lot of information.

Because only teams that aim to compete for the championship will not allow their lineup to have obvious shortcomings.

Didn't even make it to the second round last year, and is going to compete for the championship this year?

Be careful if you step too far and you will get caught.

In fact, it was only today that George Karl made the decision to continue looking for opportunities to strengthen the lineup.

He went back to discuss with the boss.

At this time, he regretted that he didn't keep Antonio McDyess when he traded Iverson.

Now McDyess is performing very stably as Yao Ming's substitute, averaging nearly a double-double per game, and even ranks first in the rebounding list.

The reason why he made this determination is because the Nuggets can now play back and forth with the Lakers.

What kind of team are the Lakers?
Undoubtedly a championship-caliber team.

Although the Lakers have more experience in the playoffs, the Nuggets also have a finals FMVP.

George Karl's brain was running at high speed, thinking about whether there was a suitable candidate.

The first half of the game ended in George Karl's cranky thinking.

The Nuggets led the Lakers by three points 65-62.

This is the score scored when Gasol suddenly made efforts to help the Lakers stabilize the situation in the second half of the second quarter.

Anthony had 18 points, Li Ran had 15 points, and Billups had 10 points and 5 assists. The Trident's performance was as stable as ever.

Bryant played the first half, and George Karl felt he should be on the bench for a while at the beginning of the third quarter.

So he kept on doing nothing, and he continued to send the Trident to play in the third quarter.

Works great.

Billups played Fisher, Li Ran played Farmar, and Anthony played Ariza. These three matchups are all properly advantageous matchups.

Sure enough, when Kobe Bryant re-entered the game in the middle of the third quarter, the score had come to 83-74, and the Nuggets' lead had reached 9 points.

　Reinforcing the inside line, I have a candidate, I don't know if you have any ideas
