Chapter 71 The strongest small forward

At the end of the third quarter, Charlie Brown sighed inwardly as he looked at the score gap that was even widening.

In this game, the Bobcats will most likely pay.

There is no turnaround point.

Anthony and Li Ran were in extremely stable form, and after the end of the third quarter, both scored more than 20 points.

Anthony scored 24 points and Li Ran scored 21 points.

Moreover, Billups is still with the Nuggets. Just as he is familiar with Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown also knows his proud disciple.

With him on the court, the Nuggets will not give the Bobcats a chance to make a comeback.

In the fourth quarter, when the game was average, Charlie Brown replaced all the main players and called it a day.

Li Ran's final statistics were also fixed at 24 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists.

He made 10 of 17 shots in this game and 4 of 5 free throws. His shooting percentage is very stable.

Anthony scored a game-high 28 points.

Although Gerald Wallace and Richardson both scored 20 points for the Bobcats, it was not enough to lead the Bobcats to victory.

The Nuggets beat the Bobcats 98-85 on the road.

After the start of the new season, Nuggets rookie Li Ran averaged 34+12 in two games, playing data that even many NBA veterans cannot produce.

Not to mention anything else, just his 44+15 performance in the first game, 95% of the players in the league will never be able to do it in their lifetime.

Returning to Denver with a big win, the Nuggets are in high spirits.

But during training the next day, Anthony left the training early due to discomfort in his leg muscles.

The examination results showed that Anthony had no major problems and only needed to recover for three to five days.

In a long season, most players are unable to complete full attendance, and it is very normal to miss one or two games occasionally.

But the Nuggets' next opponent is the Cavaliers.

The much-anticipated drama of James vs. Anthony in the league suddenly disappeared.

James' performance this season has been as stable as ever. He has averaged 29.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 6.9 assists in the eight games since the start of the season. The Cavaliers' lineup this year is also very neat. One of the four major point guards is Maurice Williams.

The tall center commonly known as Big Z, whose full name I can’t remember clearly, is the Brazilian actor Andre Varejao and the king Delonte West.

Also sitting on the bench were Ben, Joe Smith, Gibson and many other proud players.

Ever since they broke through the Eastern Conference and reached the Finals the year before last, and were then given a tough lesson by Deng, the Cavaliers have only had one goal in the past few seasons.

Overall champion!

Lao Tan was connected to the WIFI of the training hall, and when he saw the news on his phone that Anthony would not play in the next game, he felt happy.

Playing against Anthony was the most uncomfortable game for him. Anthony's offensive style made it difficult for him to defend. The two of them would be at odds with each other at best. The comprehensiveness that he was proud of seemed a bit weak in the face of Anthony's offensive ability.

Although the matchup data between the two in the later stages of their careers, James has completely crushed Anthony, but he has always been the team's ball-handling core. Anthony is no longer the core of the team after leaving the Knicks.

Now, Anthony, who has not been suspended by the league because of that fight, is still on the same level as James at the small forward position.

Anthony will not be able to play in the next game, which is undoubtedly the best good news for the Cavaliers.

So James was waiting in Cleveland for the arrival of the Nuggets like a mountain eagle with great interest.

He is in excellent form this season and has scored 40+ points in three games so far.

Therefore, Ah Tan believes that as long as he can maintain his current state, he will definitely be able to defeat the Nuggets who came from afar.

"Lee, in the next game you take Melo's place and play small forward, and JR you play shooting guard."

George Karl is not too anxious. If Iverson and Anthony were injured last season, the team would basically be lame.

But this season, Anthony was injured, and he still had Li Ran who could basically replace him. Moreover, the salary space gained from trading Iverson allowed the Nuggets to strengthen their substitute lineup. In this way, even if JR is brought into the starting lineup,

There is no need to worry about insufficient firepower on the bench.

"LeBron, you have to be careful. The Nuggets rookie has a lot of momentum this year. Don't take it lightly."

Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown, who is known as brown bread in the world, saw that James was very relaxed and reminded him.

"Okay, okay, Mike, he's just a rookie. When he gets on the court, I will welcome him to the NBA."

James shook his head nonchalantly.

Mike Brown sighed. After thinking about it, it was right. After all, he was just a rookie. Although he performed well in the first two games, it was fed by the whole team. This year's rookies have very strong offensive power, such as Derek, the No. 1 pick.

Rose played very well with the Bulls.

He has averaged 26+5+6 per game so far, which is almost the same as LeBron James in the same period. He is considered to be another candidate after Jordan who can lead the Bulls forward.

"Li, Melo is not here, you have to take on the offensive responsibility of the team, are you confident?" George Karl was a little worried. This is the first time Li Ran played when Anthony was not on the court. He performed well in the previous two games, but

With Anthony next to him, can Li Ran continue his excellent performance in the first two games this time when the opponent is predictably focusing on the entire team?

"No problem, George, it's up to me."

Li Ran slapped his chest loudly, with a posture of giving me the ball and not defeating the attacker. (This meme has been around for a few years. I wonder if there is any senior Dao Silin.)

The game came as scheduled. Two days after playing the Bobcats, the Nuggets went to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers, who were the little emperor.

When you come to the small town of Cleveland, you can see huge portraits of little Emperor James everywhere, LED screens outside buildings, graffiti on street corners, huge vertical paintings on buses...

This is a city where LeBron James has deeply imprinted his personal brand, and all fans regard him as the savior of Cleveland.

Li Ran looked at the overwhelming crowd of LeBron James and felt a little yearning in his heart. He didn't know when he would get such treatment.

The game was scheduled for 7 p.m., and the two teams entered the venue amidst roaring cheers from fans.

James was of course the one in the finale. When he stood on the technical stage and threw magnesium powder into the sky, it pushed the atmosphere of the entire arena to its climax.

This is the chosen one that the league supports, the second player in the league who has been establishing himself in 23VS24.

Li Ran stood on the bench and looked coldly at Wu Huang, who was constantly being talked about by future generations.

No matter how much he cherishes his feathers later, LeBron James is undoubtedly one of the top players in the league.

"Come on, let's see who can have the last laugh tonight."

Li Ran clenched his fists and walked onto the court full of fighting spirit.

James is strong, but he is not weak either, and basketball is a game of five people. Li Ran believes that his teammates are not worse than the Cavaliers.

The war is about to break out.

I had a busy day today and only had time to finish this chapter in the evening.
