I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 84 Conspiracy?Yang conspiracy?
Artest, who has not changed his name to Ci Shiping, has gradually faded out of his peak period after switching to the Rockets. He is no longer the top five small forward in the league.

Although last year he was able to deliver the luxury data of 20 points, 5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.3 steals per game, but this year, he has begun to decline in terms of playing time and shooting percentage.

Even so, he is still a formidable opponent to Li Ran.

Facing Artest's first attack, Li Ran was deflated.

Artest blocked all of Li Ran's breakthrough routes with his long arm. Li Ran tried several times but failed. He had to pass the ball to Billups to reorganize the attack.

"Stronger than me, I have to figure out how to use my speed advantage to beat him."

Li Ran stood in the bottom corner and watched Anthony turn into a handsome shot in the middle of the shot and shoot Artest in the face, thinking silently in his heart.

"Let's make an air cut." Li Ran deliberately came to Billups' side and said to him when he returned to the defense.

Billups nodded.

He is best at passing air cuts. After all, both Prince and Hamilton in the Pistons were good air cuts, especially Hamilton.

The mask family comes from a long-distance running family and is a typical off-ball shooter. It is said that he has run and vomited more than one opponent on the field.

Although Li Ran and Hamilton are different, one focuses on shooting and the other focuses on breakthroughs, but the most fundamental thing is to run to the open to catch the ball.

"Then let me see if your off-ball movement has improved."

Last time, Billups still had a fresh memory of Li Ran's first time playing without the ball like a headless chicken.

Li Ran smiled slightly.

Running without the ball is an attribute that has not been specifically shown. Li Ran guessed that it should be as unquantifiable as golf quotient. However, in that week of special training, he practiced a somewhat different way of running.

Others run without the ball in order to find an open shot.

Li Ran wanted to have as little physical contact with his opponent as possible after receiving the ball until he shot.

After all, in front of those guys, body hair-level physical contact may cause you big troubles.

Yao Ming continued to treat the Brazilian center as a slave, scoring steadily on top of him.

Billups dribbled the ball across half court, and Li Ran led Artest to run around.

Sure enough, after passing Kenyon Martin's cover, Li Ran had a smooth road ahead. At the same time, Billups' pass came to Li Ran's hands accurately and timely.

Li Ran took the ball and rushed in. When he came to the penalty area, he jumped and sent the ball towards the basket.

Just when Li Ran thought the goal must be scored, a big yellow hand appeared in his vision.

Yao Ming slapped Li Ran's layup with a slap, and then reached forward to catch the ball in his hand.

Li Ran was stupid.

Although there is a saying that you can walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, Li Ran has long been used to being capped. There is no player with his style of play who has not been educated by the opponent's inside line, but Yao Ming's defensive area is obviously too large .

"Is this a super center?"

Li Ran looked at Yao Ming who was running towards this side with big strides, and thought in his heart.

However, O'Neal and Yao Ming retired a few years later, and what happened in the small ball era. . .

To be honest, after Yao Ming and O'Neal retired at the same time in the 10-11 season, there has never been a dominant center in the league.

Although Embiid, Jokic, Fudge and others have excellent statistics, they still lack a little taste.

Li Ran, whose attacks were blocked one after another, felt a little uncomfortable, and he began to think of ideas.

Just as he was thinking, Brooks dropped the ball inside again. Yao Ming just blocked Li Ran. He was excited, twisted left and right, twisted Hilario behind him, stretched out his arm, and dunked with a cannonball.

Li Ran looked at Yao Ming's actions and had an idea.

"Chauncey, pass the ball!"

He ran to the frontcourt, and Billups was not polite, took the ball and threw it directly to the frontcourt.

Li Ran rushed to the frontcourt, and Artest was already waiting for him on his way.

However, this time Li Ran uncharacteristically did not hold the ball and rush inside, but stopped at the top of the arc.

After Billups reached the frontcourt, Li Ran handed the ball to Billups.

It seemed like he was taking off his pants and farting, but George Karl and Billups nodded again and again.

Anthony made a shot and Yao Ming got the rebound and handed it to Brooks.

Mosaic is opening the score a little bit, but the Nuggets don't seem to be in a hurry from top to bottom.

Yao Ming continued to ravage Hilario and scored a half-block.

Li Ran was on the way to counterattack again.

This time he successfully swayed Artest's defense and made a layup.

Yao Ming had just arrived near the three-point line. Seeing that Li Ran had successfully counterattacked, he turned around and ran to the frontcourt.

"The Nuggets are in a hurry these few rounds. Yao Ming is very stable. It will be difficult for the Nuggets to play like this. Li Ran is also severely restricted. He only scored one goal in the last three shots."

This kind of heavyweight China Derby, the Tianchao TV station will definitely broadcast the whole process like the New Year, and Zhang Lizhang guides the country from the sidelines.

"Look at Yao Ming scoring, but Li Ran not scoring. If things go on like this, the Nuggets won't come back." Director Zhang said shaking his head, subconsciously forgetting about the other players on the court.

But the fans on the side frowned and didn't speak.

He has noticed that Yao Ming has turned back and ran for several rounds.

Hei Dou can ride the NBA with a height of 183 because of his terrifying speed. Now that the Nuggets are taking the lead in playing fast-paced basketball, Brooks also speeds up.

Coupled with the fact that Artest regards the team's scoring as his own responsibility, and made several mid-range three-pointers in a row, Yao Ming did not score a single point during this period of time.

Adelman nodded in satisfaction as he saw Yao Ming responding at the corner and Artest slid from the baseline to the back door for a layup.

This is Princeton in his mind.

Yao Ming was acting like a cow over there, scoring, grabbing rebounds and supporting the frame with one hand. How could a big man at [-] meters withstand such drills.

Li Ran saw that Yao Ming's breathing was getting bigger and bigger, and seeing that Adelman didn't respond, he knew that his plan had succeeded.

In the era of Van Gundy Jr., Yao Ming's playing time was actually under control. His average playing time per game has been controlled at about 34 minutes.

But when Adelman came, Yao Ming's playing time increased further.

Last season, his playing time has come to about 38 minutes.

In addition, Yao Ming has been assigned to the national team during the offseason, which has led to his poor physical reserves.

The physical reserve is not good, and he is a big man who is more than 20 meters [-] and close to [-] catties. The reason why Yao Ming is prone to injury has also been found.

Far away, Li Ran showed a smug smile when he saw Yao Ming's physical strength wasted rapidly in meaningless places.
