Chapter 149 Extremely short and extremely tall

Author: Autumn Leaves Orange

When George Karl saw the Nuggets' current position on the court, he stood on the sidelines with his arms folded very proudly.

He felt that he had been a coach all his life, and now he could still make a breakthrough. He was indeed a genius.

Have you ever seen a power forward standing at the top of the key, dealing cards and directing traffic?

Li Ran: I have seen it. And it’s not Anthony, it’s another dirty boy.

Have you ever seen a center standing at the top of the key, dealing out cards and directing traffic?

Li Ran: I've seen it too, and it's not me. I'm just going through the motions.

No one knew that Li Ran had seen this scene several years later.

This is actually a replica of Death Five, but slightly different in some places.

Li Ran cannot take on the role of Chai Meng, and his offensive nature is much stronger than that of Chai Meng.

Anthony is equivalent to a slightly smaller version of Durant.

The reason why I say shrinkage is because although the offensive abilities of the two are about the same, Durant is slightly better than Anthony in terms of frame protection and organization.

Because Li Ran cannot assume the role of chasing his dream, the only offensive starting point for this lineup is Billups.

Billups is also the core and starting point of this set of tactics.

Li Ran is not the core of the offense, and neither is Anthony.

Billups is.

Billups' height, wingspan, and weight are much larger than Aaron Brooks. Even Mosaic's backup point guard this season, Anthony Carter, is only a short point guard with a height of 1.85 meters.

Billups' mission is to break through Brooks, no matter how he uses it, even if he pushes his butt step by step, he still has to get inside.

As for how to deal with it after entering the inside line, that is Mosaic's matter.

If it doesn't shrink, then Billups will be allowed to score.

If you shrink the defensive line, or someone gives up his defender, then the question goes back to why Billups is the core of this strategy.

Because Billups is the only player among the Nuggets' main roster who can pass the ball to an open player in the first place.

Among the main players, only he has this ability!

As for whether Mosaic will adopt a rotational defense strategy to try its best to prevent loopholes in its defense line.

Then if Li Ran and Anthony can't do it well when it's almost a hand-to-hand pass, they won't have to stay in the NBA.

The first ball was as standard as the script was written in advance.

Billups rolled Brooks into the paint.

Artest, who was the most active defensive player, immediately gave up on his defender, Anthony, and headed inside to make up for it.

Billups immediately separated the ball and passed it to Anthony.

Battier had no choice but to help Artest wipe his ass.

Then Anthony handed the ball to Li Ran who was guarded by Battier.

Li Ran's eyes were empty now.

What? You said Brooks was passed and now there is no defender?

Sorry, in front of Li Ran, Brooks is nothing.

A fake shot shook Brooks as he flew towards him. Li Ran easily passed him, then took a step forward to dribble the ball and released it as easily as he did during normal training.

The ball hits the net hollowly.

Textbook ball transition and open shots.

In this offense, the Nuggets highlighted an effortless performance.

In turn, Mosaic can only rely on Yao Ming to continue to beat Li Ran.

Although Li Ran is far behind Yao Ming in height and weight, he can still struggle.

You know, Li Ran's strength is at the level of an average insider.

Yao Ming scored steadily over Li Ran's head again, and his turnaround jump shot can be called a bug skill in the NBA.

You, a big man of nearly 2.3 meters, can play fadeaway jumpers in the paint, and you are so stable, how can others defend you?

Li Ran could only stretch his hand subconsciously, and then watched Yao Ming throw the ball in.

But he was not in a hurry.

Next, Billups broke through Brooks and scored a layup.

The scene suddenly turned into two one-sided fights between Billups and Brooks and Yao Ming and Li Ran.

If someone with understanding sees the current scene, they will definitely see something deeper.

That is——

The Nuggets are actually using Billups' physical strength to exchange for Yao Ming's physical strength.

Without Billups, the Nuggets still have veteran Jason Williams and former rising star point guard Livingston, and as an outside linebacker, Billups has much better physical strength than Yao Ming.

Without Yao Ming, relying on Artest and Scola to defeat Li Ran and Anthony, O'Neal?

joke!

But now, faced with the Nuggets' naked conspiracy, Adelman has nothing to do.

He could only choose to believe in Yao Ming.

Without Yao Ming, Mosaic has no way to compete with the Nuggets.

At the end of the third quarter, the point difference remained at fifteen points.

Although Yao Ming only played 27 minutes, he already scored 31 points in these 27 minutes. In the third quarter, he scored 14 points in a single quarter.

Looking at Yao Ming, who was panting and sweating profusely, Adelman was worried.

What lies before Mosaic now is an almost impossible task.

Before Yao Ming's physical strength ended, he evened out the 15-point difference in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Yao Ming can play for eight more minutes at most. At this pace, 35 minutes is already Yao Ming's limit.

And George Karl, who is having fun, doesn't seem to think that the current game is the second round of the playoffs where every game is extremely important.

In the fourth quarter, he changed four more people.

Not only did Billups, who performed exceptionally well in the third quarter, be replaced, but JR and Li Ran were also replaced.

The five players who took the court in the fourth quarter once again made the fans and commentators on the sidelines roar!

O'Neal, Nene, Yi Jianlian, Anthony, Livingston!

Adelman is going crazy.

What are you playing at?

Can I still play the game well?

Among the five people on the field, the shortest ones are actually Anthony and Livingston, who are 2.01 meters tall!

O'Neal is 2.16 meters, Yi Jianlian is 2.12 meters, Nene is 2.11 meters, Anthony is 2.01 meters, and Livingston is 2.01 meters!

However, in the fourth quarter, the clever Adelman replaced Yao Ming with the double point guard combination of Brooks and Anthony Carter, preparing to play fast with the Nuggets.

The Nuggets won't play fast or fast with you at all.

The pace of the fourth quarter was ridiculously slow, and the Nuggets had only one strategy.

Low post shot.

O'Neal finished playing Nene, Nene finished playing Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian finished playing Anthony. Even Livingston could use his inexperienced back-up mid-range skills to bully Brooks, who was nearly twenty centimeters shorter than him.

After Love and Paul, who were crushed by Li Ran, another person was heartbroken by the Nuggets.

This person is none other than Mosaic head coach Adelman, who is standing stunned on the sidelines right now!
