: Like a duck in water

After the Olympic Games, the popularity of the NBA has gradually increased again.

Li Ran's popularity in China is growing day by day.

Although it is a pre-season game, China TV Station has also arranged a televised broadcast.

Countless pairs of eyes were looking at Li Ran to see what kind of performance he could deliver in the first preseason game.

Anthony walked up to Li Ran and hugged his shoulders affectionately, with a sugary smile on his round face.

"Today is a good opportunity for you, because we haven't practiced together yet, so the tactics for this game will be very simple." Anthony whispered in Li Ran's ear and imparted his experience.

"What tactic?"

"singles!"

Anthony said bluntly.

Although the Nuggets' lineup changes this season are not a major reshuffle, the team's most important point guard position has been replaced.

When Iverson was here, he and Anthony were almost in a run-and-gun game.

But now that Billups has been replaced, the entire team's tactics will undergo huge changes.

Billups tugged at the hem of his jersey on the sidelines and carefully stuffed it into his shorts.

He knows that this game is a test for himself, testing how he can control the rhythm when he is not running in with the team.

George Carl had the same intention.

He wanted to know whether Billups could perfectly take over Iverson's position on the team and play the things he wanted to see.

After being interviewed, players coming out, warming up, and a series of preparation activities, the starting players of both teams stood on the court.

The game is about to start.

The Timberwolves sent out their entire main lineup.

Center: Al Jefferson.

Power Forward: Kevin Love.

Small Forward: Ryan Gomez.

Shooting Guard: Randy Foye.

Point guard: Mike Miller.

The Nuggets also responded tit-for-tat, sending out all starters.

Center:******-Hilario.

Power Forward: Kenyon Martin.

Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony.

Shooting guard: Li Ran.

Point guard: Chauncey Billups.

There is no faster way to get the team together than on the official court, and the preseason is to shoulder such a responsibility.

Li Ran didn't volunteer to jump the ball. The Brazilian's physical fitness was so good that even a single person couldn't beat him.

He stood next to Anthony, always ready to catch the ball.

Sure enough, ****** won the ball over Al Jefferson's head, and the ball was controlled by Li Ran.

He subconsciously wanted to run away, just like he did in the NCAA.

But seeing Billups standing next to him with his hand stretched out to ask for him, Li Ran endured it and handed the ball to him obediently.

Billups jumped up and down the court with the ball, waving his arms as he walked, and loudly directing the movements of his teammates.

Anthony came out to catch the ball, Billups passed the ball to him, and then pulled the defender away.

In a classic three-threat posture, Anthony looked very calm facing Ryan Gomez, who was guarding him.

As a short swingman, Ryan Gomez has no problem playing small forward. He has shooting skills and can cause damage at the basket. He is a very stable scoring point for the Timberwolves.

However, defensively, facing a genuine small forward like Anthony, it is a bit inadequate.

This is also a common problem on the defensive end of many swingmen. No one is faster at defending shooting guards, and no one is as good at defending small forwards.

Anthony held the ball with his hands on his chest, and he kept tentative steps on his right foot. The movement could almost be fake.

After the three threats, the connection attack was the guy he ate.

Gomez was annoyed by Anthony's footsteps. As soon as he wanted to reach out, Anthony had jumped.

He jumped quickly, but it was already slower.

For Anthony, this shot is enough.

After two points in one step in the three -point line, after Anthony shot the ground, he still maintained the hand shape when he shot.

The ball was empty into the net, and the Nuggets' ace successfully opened the team's first record.

Anthony ran back and ran back, and Li Ran hit him with him when he passed him.

Looking back, McMiller obviously wanted to let rookie care adapted to the rhythm of the NBA as soon as possible. He directly suspended the ball to Lefu, who worked hard in the inside.

Classmate Lefu is still a little fat man. After receiving the ball, he faced Kenye Martin's defense and was not afraid of the field.

The newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, but sometimes the ball is not you can score.

If that's the case, Kobe has long been a historical scoring king, not the iron king.

The ball thrown in Lefu was hit on the rebound, bounced high, and finally accepted by Li Ran.

Li Ran now knows what the correction in the rebounding monster description means.

When he is grabbing the rebound, he will have a feeling of sucking his own hand to suck the ball.

Of course, there will be no such spiritual events in the basketball world. The reason for this feeling is that Li Ran's hand will automatically adjust the position of the rebound with the position of the instinct.

After taking off this backcourt rebound, Li Ran was transporting the frontcat and waiting for people to respond.

Bi Ruus ran to him, and Li Ran threw the ball to him.

"Li, beat one!"

Big Lups shouted loudly while dribble.

Li Ran nodded.

Just hit one.

When he came to the frontcourt, Biluus first signaled Kenye Martin out of the ground and dismantling. Li Ran moved at the same time as Ken Yang Martin at the same time, and followed him closely behind him.

Sure enough, after Ken Yang Martin was completely dismantled, the ball had flew to Li Ran's hands.

This position is near the 45 -degree three -point line. At this time, it is Randiferye.

Landforder, one meter ninety -three, is similar to Gomez.

There is a stable attack, but the defense is not very good.

Li Ran used an Iverson's trick to change sharply to Randerfrad.

When Li Ran passed by Randefra, he had not adjusted his focus.

In the inside, ****** is working hard to give Li Ran card.

Li Ran was not polite. He stepped into the three -point line and split with one hand.

After landing, he and ****** patted their hands to celebrate.

Good block!

This feeling is more comfortable than playing in NCAA. The ability value of NCAA players is a bit large. Many times teammates cannot understand their intentions.

But when the NBA arrives, it is different.

Li Ran feels like a fish.

While Memphis, he and Rose were arrested for attacking and defense. After arriving at the Nuggets, he did not need to bear such pressure.

"Dry and beautiful." Anthony had seen Li Ran's non -human physical fitness countless times in the summer, and there was no great response to this ball.

The first step of Billuz's try to control the team is smooth.

In the following period, the scores of the two teams increased alternately, but the Nuggets maintained a weak lead.

Six minutes into the first quarter, taking advantage of the official timeout, George Karl made some personnel changes.

He has clearly seen the team's performance in these six minutes, and it is time for other players to adapt to the new season.

In these six minutes, the best performers were undoubtedly Li Ran and Billups.

One of the two scored 7 points on 3-for-3 shooting, and the other scored 3 points and 3 assists.

There won’t be a second chapter tonight, I’m working a shift today, and the second chapter will be posted tomorrow morning.

I have to save some manuscripts during the day tomorrow and prepare for the fifth update the day after tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
