Chapter 187 One person, one section, one team

Faster than the ball is a shadow.

This shadow was wearing a fiery red shirt, with a big number 0 dancing in the wind behind it.

Li Ran grabbed the ball in front of everyone and shot toward the backcourt of the Saudi team like a sharp arrow.

The person closest to Li Ran is none other than Behrami, the number one small forward in Asia.

Seeing Li Ran push back, he immediately chased back.

But a scene that made him despair happened.

When he ran without the ball, he was almost as good as Li Ran who ran with the ball.

It wasn't until half-time that Behrami, who was chasing after him with all his strength, would catch up with Li Ran.

However, the next second, Li Ran unexpectedly stopped outside the three-point line.

Behrami, who was chasing Li Ran with all his strength, could not stop the car at all, and even used the handbrake before he stopped near the free throw line in embarrassment.

He lay on the ground and watched Li Ran easily take off from outside the three-point line.

At this moment, Li Ran seemed to understand why Anthony and Durant were called FIBA's biggest killers.

FIBA's three-point line position happens to be their favorite position of one step inside the NBA three-point line for long-distance two-pointers.

This kind of mid-range jumper, the most proficient in the NBA, counts as a three-pointer in FIBA...

After throwing the ball, Li Ran ran back without looking back.

Behind him, the ball hit the net hollowly, causing enthusiastic cheers from the fans in the audience.

"After Li Ran came on with an injury, the Huaxia team gained momentum." the commentator said excitedly.

"Yes, with two offenses and one defense, the Chinese team has narrowed the point difference to 12 points. Let's see how the Saudi team will deal with it next."

With these two offenses and one defense, Li Ran directly defeated Saudi Arabia's internal and external cores - Haddadi and Behrami.

The Saudi team didn't know how to play either.

But no matter how you fight, just avoid this monster.

After patiently passing the ball, Saudi Arabia finally found a good opportunity in the bottom corner and took a shot from mid-range.

But the ball didn't go in.

It doesn't matter if he didn't score, the Saudi team had an absolute advantage inside in this game.

Haddadi firmly stuck Dazhi, who had just recovered from injury, behind him, preparing to compete for the offensive rebound.

How could Li Ran give him this opportunity!

I saw Li Ran rushing into the inside and leaping high, like a roc spreading its wings, and grabbed the ball in his hands with the talent of picking a peach over Haddadi's head.

After landing, Li Ran didn't even look at the striker next to him who reached out to ask for him, and he didn't pay attention to who it was.

Running wildly across the half court with the ball, Li Ran didn't slow down at all when facing Behrami's defensive position, he just used a change of direction behind his back to completely leave him behind.

How could Haddadi return to defense so quickly? There was no one in front of Li Ran, who rushed inside.

Li Ran jumped up again, as if venting his anger, he rounded the ball and smashed it into the basket. After landing, he raised his arms and roared loudly.

His ferocious expression was faithfully recorded by the photographer.

The score difference was only 10 points after being chased by Li Ran alone.

And the fourth quarter has just started less than two minutes.

In two minutes, Li Ran scored 7 points in a row.

The Saudi coach looked at Li Ran in disbelief, and then looked at Yao Ming, who was sitting firmly on the bench.

China used to have only one player of this level, Yao Ming.

But now, it seems that a more terrifying existence has emerged!

Facing the Chinese men's basketball team that was gradually gaining momentum, the Saudi team gradually became disorganized. The defensive system they were proud of seemed like paper in front of Li Ran, and could be broken with just one poke.

"This defensive pressure is so familiar."

Yao Ming looked at the Saudi player who dropped the ball under Li Ran's pressure and murmured.

It's the feeling that a dream team working hard gives their opponents a feeling.

The pressure was so strong that it was almost suffocating, making it extremely difficult to dribble.

However, that was a defense performed by the dream team who pressed high and used the cooperation of the whole team.

When Li Ran faced Saudi Arabia, one person put so much pressure on him!

Under the performance of the demon-like Li Ran, the 17-point point difference that seemed like a natural chasm melted away as quickly as ice and snow encountering the sun.

In just half a quarter, Li Ran evened the 17-point difference.

In this half of the quarter, Li Ran scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 blocks, and no assists!

He defeated the entire Saudi team with one person!

After being equalized, the Saudi team began to sleepwalk.

Their will to fight has never been strong, so hitting a ball with the wind is better, but hitting a ball with the wind simply puts a layer of shackles on their gloves.

In the last two minutes of the game, the Chinese team had led by a full ten points. No one would think that Saudi Arabia had a chance to come back. The game had actually entered garbage time.

Li Ran scored 35 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks in a single quarter. The two assists resulted in a three-pointer for the UAE and Dazhi respectively.

The two of them are the two most worthy of winning this game.

They played roughly 35 minutes and scored 30 points and 11 rebounds. Arab League scored 17 points and 9 rebounds. Except for the two of them and Li Ran, no one in the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team scored more than 5 points in this game.

In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Saudi Arabia 87-72 at their home court.

In fact, it would be more accurate to put it another way. Li Ran single-handedly ended the suspense of the game in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter, thanks to Li Ran's performance, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Saudi Arabia by 32 points in a single quarter.

After the game, Li Ran naturally received the MVP trophy.

But he didn't celebrate with the team at all and left the game with a positive MVP trophy and gold medal.

Yao Ming looked at the team members with gold medals hanging around their necks and bright smiles, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart.

They take this gold medal for granted, but this gold medal has nothing to do with them.

The Asian Championships are over and it's the end of August. It's time for Li Ran to return to the United States and report to the team.

Moreover, after returning, the Grizzlies' lineup still needs to be studied and polished by him and Cole.

After all, we have only set up the starting lineup for next season, and we need to carefully consider how to strengthen the bench lineup.

Three days after arriving in Memphis, Li Ran went directly to Cole's temporarily rented apartment.

He also made an appointment with his mentor Cariappa, and the three of them were ready to discuss how to sign the contract.

Next season, the Grizzlies' starting lineup will most likely be Gasol, Randolph, Li Ran, Iverson and Curry.

On the bench are Yi Jianlian, Gortat and Darrell Arthur.

Darrell Arthur was the main center of the University of Kansas team that Li Ran defeated in the NCAA finals. He entered the league at the same time as Li Ran. He played in 76 games last year, starting 63 games, averaging 19.8 minutes per game and scoring 5.6+4.6.

These eight people are all players currently under contract with the Grizzlies.

The remaining seven positions still need to be discussed carefully by several of them.

The three people first started with the salaries of eight people and planned to calculate how much salary space the Grizzlies had available this season.
