Chapter 163 “Actual Combat” Simulation Training

The only thing Li Ran is lucky about is that the current head of the alliance is still the little old Jewish man.

Everyone who understands understands.

Otherwise, even if you lead 3-1, it's hard to say who will win in the end.

Although this game came to Los Angeles, at the home court of the Lakers, Li Ran knew that there would be a high probability that the referee would not be too involved in this game.

Although Stern likes to do some off-court tricks, what he believes in most is "leaving the game to the players."

After all, these 450 players are the true foundation of the NBA.

And yesterday, the first team to enter the finals appeared.

That's right, it's magic that is not favored by most people.

In G6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, in the Magic's own away game, the spark that had been playing well throughout the series finally broke out.

He played 41 minutes in the game, making 14 of 21 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, and 12 of 16 free throws. He scored 40 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 blocks, completely turning the two teams' interiors into restricted areas.

Yes, it's not a no-fly zone, it's a restricted area.

James was blocked three times by Howard, which directly caused his performance to drop a notch.

The little emperor played a full 45 minutes in this game and "only" scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

In this game, the Magic grabbed a total of 47 rebounds. In comparison, the Cavaliers only had 34.

In addition, the inaccuracy of free throws was also an important reason for the Cavaliers' away defeat. They got 22 free throw opportunities in the game, which was not as many as James himself got in the last game.

Of these 22 free throws, the Cavaliers only made 11.

To be honest, a 50% free throw shooting rate is unqualified even for O'Neal.

On the Magic side, even Howard can make 12 of 16 free throws, so there's not much to say.

The four free throws Howard missed were also all the free throws the Magic missed.

In the end, relying on Howard's divine performance, the Magic defeated the Cavaliers, ranked first in the Eastern Conference, 90-103 at home.

For a time, various titles such as "the best center in the league", "the man who replaced James alone" and "the only card in the league's post-center era" fell on Howard.

However, no matter who wins the Nuggets or Lakers, they will have the home court advantage in the Finals. The Magic's first game of the Finals will definitely be played in the Western Conference.

Li Ran was sitting in Staples' cramped visiting team's locker room, seemingly closing his eyes and concentrating.

In fact, he has been training in the system space for a full eight hours.

Now Li Ran no longer needs advanced simulation training. Now that Li Ran has accumulated ability points for most of the season, he also has the luxury of activating a "real combat" level training camp.

He has only one purpose in this training camp, which is to train his ability to combine sudden shots.

Now that George Karl has specially developed a three-point shooting tactic for him, it would be outrageous for Li Ran to hide it, and his choice between breakthroughs and shooting has always been a weakness.

After all, this season Li Ran has always been the kind of player who holds explosives and destroys his opponents together. After entering the inside, he first throws himself into the sky, and then considers how to end the game while he is in the sky.

Actual training, as the name suggests, means that Li Ran replaces a certain player on a certain team and uses his playing style to train himself.

In the history of the league, although there are not many players who combine sudden shooting and focus on breakthroughs, there are actually quite a few. If nothing else, the four major point positions are all strong among them. Jordan was the first to win three consecutive championships.

Same thing.

But what surprised Li Ran was that he was not simulating any of the above, but a player who has not yet appeared in the league.

Kyrie Irving, the NBA's philosopher and the No. 1 pick in the draft three years later, is said to have a breakthrough equal to Allen Iverson and is known as the "European Immortal."

Putting aside Irving's off-court factors and professional attitude, his breakthrough and shooting are indeed the best in the NBA.

If Iverson will pass you in the same way a hundred times, then Irving will pass you a hundred times in a hundred ways. This sentence can already reflect Irving's style very well.

Coupled with his extremely accurate three-point shooting skills, Irving made great contributions in James' famous "cleveland this is for you" Finals.

Therefore, it is unexpected and reasonable to replace Irving to play for that team.

In addition to being much worse than Irving in terms of organizational skills, Li Ran really completed Irving's tasks quite well in other aspects.

As for organization, although Irving is the Cavaliers' authentic point guard, the Cavaliers really feel uncomfortable without his organizational skills.

It doesn't matter, because the Cavaliers have LeBron James.

As for James, you may love him or hate him, but no matter what, you have to admit that he has played an indispensable and important role in the NBA in the 21st century.

You can even add the word "most" in front of this important word.

It seems that it was destined by God that the game Li Ran simulated just now was the masterpiece of Irving's career.

2015-16 season finals, Cavaliers vs. Warriors, G7!

Yes, it was the game where Irving made a fatal three-pointer over Curry at the last minute to help the team win the final championship.

However, in these eight hours and four games, Li Ran was defeated by the Warriors four times in a row.

If there is a problem in one link, it will be fatal in a battle of this level in the finals.

Although Li Ran had tried his best to help the team in other aspects, without Irving's organization and operation, the Cavaliers still lost four out of four games in the face of the Warriors' mercury-like offense.

Li Ran doesn't care about winning or losing, he only cares about what he learned in these four games.

Irving's miraculous breakthrough skills made Li Ran excited. Although his style is different from Irving, who doesn't want to be more handsome when he plays?

Irving's choices when breaking through are also worth learning from Li Ran. Irving does a good job in this regard, whether to get inside and face the opponent's inside head-on or to find opportunities to shoot directly.

After these few days of actual combat simulation training, Li Ran felt that he had gained a lot.

Moreover, this combination ability is not a quantitative data, so Li Ran doesn't know how far he can achieve it.

Whether it works or not, let’s wait and see.

On May 29, 2009, the G6 game of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Nuggets was about to begin at the Staples Center.

No one, not even Li Ran, expected that he would become the absolute protagonist of this game.

To be honest, Li Ran's current ability is definitely not as good as the league's top superstars like Kobe, James, Wade, and Anthony.

But having a big explosion in a certain game is not exclusive to these top superstars.

As soon as he came on the field, Li Ran felt that he was in a hot state for this game.
