Chapter 4 Little Bear’s Gummy Bears

"Thank you Uncle Cui, I understand."

Li Ran smiled and nodded.

Cui Wanjun sighed, chatted with Li Ran about family issues, and left with Calipari.

Li Ran watched the two people leave, shook his head, and picked up the newspaper that he had not finished reading just now.

The headline of the sports section of the newspaper read a shocking line of large characters.

"The genius has fallen! One of the Illinois twin stars suffered a serious injury and may have to bid farewell to his basketball career."

What was written inside was none other than Li Ran.

"Humph! Let's see!"

Li Ran looked at his right leg covered in plaster, sneered, folded the newspaper and placed it on the bedside.

Time passed very quickly. When Li Ran walked into the University of Memphis basketball stadium in a wheelchair, it was already September.

The players of the University of Memphis Tigers are training hard under the command of Cui Wanjun.

Looking at these unfamiliar players except Rose, Li Ran's eyes were as dull as water.

Seeing Li Ran come in, Ross immediately stopped training and ran over.

He conveniently put a towel on his shoulders and a bottle of Gatorade in his hand.

Arriving in front of Li Ran, Ross first wiped his sweat, then opened Gatorade and took a sip. Then he said to Li Ran with a face full of surprise: "Li, are you discharged from the hospital?"

"Yes, my recovery is surprisingly good. The doctor asked me to leave the hospital early. If nothing happens, I should be able to recover in about three months." Li Ran said with a smile.

The effectiveness of the low-level recovery potion was truly incredible. After six bottles, even his attending doctor was amazed and attributed Li Ran's miraculous recovery speed to his youth and good health.

When Li Ran was discharged from the hospital, he said to Li Ran with some embarrassment: "Li, I want to take back what you said when you just had the operation. If you recover like this, you are very likely to continue your basketball career."

"We have won two games in a row. When you recover from your injury, which should be around February, we can play the remaining games together. Once we are well adjusted, it will be March Madness!"

Rose's eyes were full of longing.

As if he remembered something, he came to the sidelines and took out a small bottle from his training clothes and pants.

Arriving in front of Li Ran, Ross opened the small bottle, poured something from it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Li Ran laughed dumbly.

"You are so old and you still like eating sweets so much."

Ross eats gummy bears, which is a fitting nickname for him, and the guy is obsessed with gummy bears to the point of obsession.

Ross smiled nonchalantly, poured out another one and handed it to Li Ran.

Li Ran took it and put it in his mouth.

“So sweet!”

At this time, a black boy with a square head and a square head came to the two of them.

"Derek, is this the Lee you always talk about?"

Rose nodded: "Yes, Chris, Lee's skills are better than mine. As long as he recovers from injury, we will definitely win the championship this year."

Chris Douglas-Roberts smiled disdainfully.

You have ruptured your Achilles tendon and still want to play ball?

He calls himself the boss of the team and is not polite when talking to Rose.

"Then let's wait until he recovers from his injury."

Chris Douglas-Roberts, CDR for short, is considered the leader of the team because he averages more points per game than Rose.

Although the first two games were warm-up games, the Tigers also won consecutive victories without any surprises. In the two games, CDR scored 25 points and 23 points respectively, which just beat Rose's 23 points and 21 points.

He has sharp breakthroughs, accurate shooting, and excellent athletic ability. He and Rose were instantly matched.

Ross shook his head: "No, no, no, Chris, you don't know how powerful Li is."

CDR didn't bother to argue with Rose, just smiled and returned to the court for training.

Time flew by. After the Tigers won three more victories, Li Ran sat in his wheelchair, looking at the injury status that had exactly 100 days left on the status bar, and solemnly used the bottle of top-notch medicine that he had treasured for a long time.

Restoration Potion.

The moment I drank it, the pain and discomfort in my ankle completely disappeared.

Looking at my status bar again, that terrible injury has completely disappeared.

Li Ran took off the protective gear and felt it, and there was no lag at all.

And his speed, jumping and other attributes that were affected by injuries no longer have the brackets at the end, and his ability values ​​have been restored again. Even because of the substantial improvement in steals and offensive rebounds, his ability values ​​have reached 70 points.

The apartment he lives in now was re-rented to cover up his injury, and he did not share it with Rose. He planned to live with Rose after his injury healed.

Behind this apartment is half a basketball court.

Li Ran picked up a basketball and walked to the backyard with ease.

He has never felt so relaxed since he traveled through time.

Picking up the ball and standing outside the three-point line, Li Ran took a deep breath. Just as he was about to shoot, he suddenly stopped, took a big step back, and then jumped slightly.

Bend your knees, take off, shake your wrists.

With a set of smooth movements, the ball drew a perfect arc and fell into the basket obediently.

"It feels good." Li Ran looked at his big hands with satisfaction.

He measured his hands and found that they were 27 centimeters long. These big hands were the envy of many basketball players, but they did not affect his feel at all. This was what surprised Li Ran the most.

Then, he picked up the ball again, right under the basket, used his legs hard, and jumped up on the spot without a run-up.

I don’t know what this body grew up on, but Li Ran easily completed a jump-and-arm dunk on the spot.

Then, he came outside the three-point line and took off for a run-up.

After jumping up, Li Ran stretched his whole body as much as possible, switched the ball from his crotch to his right hand in the air, and then dunked the ball heavily into the basket.

The place where he took off just now was one step inside the free throw line, which was almost exactly the same as the classic move in the dunk contest between LaVine and Gordon in later generations.

"Perfect talent! Paired with improved system! NBA, here I come!"

Under the cool moonlight, Li Ran stood under the basket with the ball in one hand and a satisfied smile on his face.

Ross was eating a gummy bear in his mouth, looking at his friend limping on the floor with a surprised look on his face, as if he were looking at an alien.

He almost wanted to send Li Ran to the hospital for a thorough check to see if he was a human from Earth.

How can anyone be able to walk after a ruptured Achilles tendon for more than two months?

What a joke.

Although he was very confident in his physical fitness and felt that he would not be troubled by Li Ran's devastating injuries, Li Ran's recovery speed still surprised him.

"In another month, I should be able to go to the team for training." Li Ran pretended to take a few steps in front of Rose, and showed Rose that his ankle no longer needed protective gear, giving himself the last word of patience.

month's decision.

"Are you sure there won't be any sequelae?" Ross murmured.

"My attending physician is the most authoritative. If he says no, it won't be!" Li Ran said confidently.

However, the attending physician in his mouth was not the black doctor from the special hospital, but the system.

Ross nodded, stuffed another gummy candy into his mouth, and prepared for Li Ran's apartment as if sleepwalking.
