I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 91 Questioning and Abuse

After winning the Raptors, the Nuggets unknowingly ushered in a wave of three consecutive victories.

Their running-in is also getting better.

Among them, the role played by Anthony is not insignificant.

In order to help Li Ran adapt to the NBA earlier, he sacrificed a lot of his shooting rights at the beginning of the season, allowing Li Ran to take more shots.

It doesn't matter, it directly raised a monster rookie who is now averaging 19.8 points and 13.4 rebounds per game.

Li Ran also knows that if Anthony and himself have not trained for a summer in the offseason, they may not have such good training conditions. of. . .

The next morning, George Karl called all the players together for a small meeting.

There is no other meaning, just to unify the team's goals for this season.

Impact the championship!
This is also the first time the Nuggets have officially stated their goals for this season.

George Karl thinks the time is right, even though he couldn't see where the team's future lies in just last season.

The current Nuggets team has a balanced team configuration, a reasonable age, capable outside and inside, able to shoot suddenly, and highlight a comprehensive.

In the next time, they just need to make sufficient preparations to avoid injuries.

For this reason, George Karl decided to keep O'Neal's playing time in the regular season at about 25 minutes to avoid physical problems caused by playing too long.

This has another advantage, that is, it can better train the current team's backup center, Birdman Anderson.

Needless to say, Li Ran and Anthony, let them play as long as they can. The other positions are also well-managed and strong. George Karl feels that even if the Nuggets don't win the championship this season, their performance in the playoffs will not be bad. .

Two days later, the Nuggets headed to Sacramento for another 30-point victory.

The king with the gorgeous autumn wind has long since changed. Even the head coach Adelman went to Aerospace City. Peja, Bibby, Artest and others went their separate ways, leaving only one Kevin Martin, a pure shooter, has no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings.

Li Ran scored 32 points and 17 rebounds in 13 minutes.

In the next game, the Nuggets will host the Spurs, one of the top three players in Texas.

Unlike the last time, this time the GDP is all there, and the attack is fierce, vowing to avenge the failure of the last time.

O'Neal and Duncan, the old rivals, were once again entangled in the paint.

But George Karl still only allowed O'Neal to play for 25 minutes and didn't let him play.

The replaced Anderson was well repaired by Duncan.

In this game, Deng Daidai played 39 minutes, scored 21 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 blocks, turning the inside of the Spurs into a no-fly zone.

Parker and Ginobili also scored 22 and 21 points respectively.

Li Ran, who was slapped and couldn't find the north, performed in a mess in this game. He only made 19 of 7 shots and scored 15 points and 9 rebounds.

Anthony and Billups also felt bad, one scored 16 points and the other scored 15 points.

Even though Lionel still scored a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds in a limited time, the Nuggets still lost to the Spurs 108-99 in the end, ending their short three-game winning streak.

During the long season, it is normal for players to have ups and downs, but after this game, the topic of "Li Ran hit the rookie wall" suddenly spread in the basketball circle.

For nothing else, Li Ran has not scored more than 20 points in four consecutive games.

Some people even let out bold words, and they have figured out Li Ran's destiny.

The issue is. . .For ordinary rookies, even if they are the No. [-] pick, as long as they are not historical rookies, Li Ran's performance in these few games is good enough.

In these four games, Li Ran averaged 15.2 points and 12.2 rebounds per game.

Even Rose has averaged just over 15 points per game so far this season.

So Li Ran decided to prove himself in the next game.

With this in mind, Li Ran went to see the Nuggets' opponents in the next game.

Seeing this, Li Ran was happy.

Three days later, the Nuggets will face the Timberwolves at home. . . .

This is the third time the two teams have met in the regular season this season.

Teams from each division will meet four times, this time for the third time.

Including the preseason match, this is the fourth time Li Ran has played against the Timberwolves.

If you count the number of fights between him and Love, then add one more.

"I'm sorry then."

Li Ran smiled sinisterly.

The Nuggets now have a record of 15 wins and 6 losses, second in the West, and the Lakers on top of their heads.

The Timberwolves are 4 wins and 16 losses, second to last in the West, ahead of the Clippers and behind the Kings.

If you don't use the little wood wolf, who should you use?
Now that Le Fu saw Li Ran, he was naturally a little apprehensive.

The two are obviously not in the same position, and Le Fu doesn't know why he feels uneasy every time he fights with Li Ran.

This time too, the little wood wolf reluctantly came to the Denver plateau to be beaten.

Once again, they ran into Li Ran who was in full swing.

In order to break the rumors from the outside world, Li Ran made 27 crazy shots in this game, and scored 18 goals, with a hit rate as high as 66%.

In addition to 9 of 7 free throws and 3 of 1 three-pointers, Li Ran scored 44 points in this game, tying his career, which is the highest scoring record created in his debut.

There are also 16 rebounds, the distribution is very even, 8 offensive rebounds, 8 backcourt rebounds.

Love looked at his 14+14 double-double data and felt like crying.

Are these two pairs bad?

it is good.

But compared to Li Ran, it's nothing.

With a performance of 44 points and 16 rebounds, Li Ran silenced those troublemakers. Li Ran showed the entire league that it seemed like a long time before he hit that illusory rookie wall.

Li Ran was very happy after having abused a dish.

He practiced the three-point shot meticulously, which was his secret weapon. Most people in the league knew that Li Ran had a certain long-range shooting ability, but no one knew that his three-point shot could be used as a regular offensive method.

"Li, the All-Star Challenge is about to sign up, what do you want to sign up for?"

A member of the uniform team came to the sidelines and called Li Ran over.

Li Ran scratched his head.

"Report what? First report the slam dunk contest."

He is not James. With such good physical fitness, it is a lifetime regret not to win a dunk king.

"Anything else?"

"Anything else?" Li Ran quietly opened his system panel.

The All-Star Challenge is nothing more than three items, dunks, three-pointers and skills.

Li Ran's three-pointers are now 84, which is a little higher than at the beginning of the season.

The ball control has improved a little more, now it is 76 points, and with Iverson's elbow pads it is 86 points.

"Then report it all!"

He said abruptly.

The members of the uniform team are almost stupid.

Did you play that way?
But finally he nodded.

Report it, the more Li Ran reports, the more rewards he will bring to the Nuggets.

It's a big deal to learn from Jordan.

Shoot a random five-pointer in the preliminaries, and then sit on the sidelines and watch the show!
