I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 144 58 shots!
Li Ran was lying on the bed in the locker room receiving massage from the physical therapist.

The Hornets' away locker room only had this physiotherapy bed, and even Anthony didn't have this treatment, but gave it to Li Ran.

No way, who made Guagua more and more lazy now.

He scored 12 points in the first half, all of which were mid-range and long-range jumpers.

Can be lazy, no, why do you have to go inside and fight those big guys to solve the problem of shooting?
This kind of dirty work can be left to Li Ran.

So Li Ran flattened on the physical therapy bed with 14 points and 5 rebounds.

Eight of the fourteen points were free throws.

There are already Hornets fans frantically complaining that the referee's whistle is off, but it was sprayed out by other fans. . .

This TM is at the Hornets' home court, and Li Ran's style of play in the first half can be seen by anyone who is not blind.

That kind of style of play holding the dynamite pack and rushing inside, either you die or I die.

It's a pity that it was David West who died.

As for Paul?

Excuse me, is there this person on the field?
Paul's little face was full of gloom.

This series is simply a nightmare for him, and this game has only scored 4 points and 3 assists so far.

Byron Scott is not in the mood to give Paul a psychology class and fill him with chicken soup.

He is thinking about a very important thing now.

Should West play in the third quarter?

He has committed four fouls now. If he is allowed to play, there is a high probability that he will directly commit six fouls and leave the field.

But not letting him go is the rhythm of slow death.

Well, now the hornet is basically buried, only the head is left outside, and it can still struggle a little bit.

Byron Scott finally put David West on the court.

Even if you lose, you have to lose with some backbone.

What's your first reaction when a post player with four fouls is on the field?
The others didn't know, anyway, Li Ran was almost about to apply to go inside and change positions with Ah Lian.

The Hornets kicked off, and Paul finally relied on the pick-and-roll to make a mid-range shot.

But on the other hand, Li Ran also called Ah Lian's pick-and-roll.

Li Ran immediately formed a situation where Li Ran singled out West.

Student David West felt bitter in his heart and mouth at the same time.

Li Ran really couldn't guard against it.

But Li Ran was focused on fighting against him, and after jumping up, he directly stuck to his body without any concealment.

With Li Ran's yell, he threw the ball to the backboard indiscriminately, then fell to the ground and slid far away.

The whistle from the referee's mouth sounded without hesitation. In his opinion, this foul was too obvious, and it would be a pity for his conscience not to blow it.

West looked at the referee with an innocent face, and the referee shook his head with a serious face, and pointed to his eyes.

But, I swear to God, West didn't have time to use his strength when he was fighting just now, and Li Ran flew out like being hit by a bullet.

Can this be blamed on him?
Li Ran was lying on the ground with a smile on his face. Anthony and Billups pulled him up from left to right.

"Li, you are too much, how can you bully people like this."

As shrewd as Billups, of course he knew Li Ran's little trick just now.

"But I like it, keep going."

Li Ran chuckled, and the three of them walked forward side by side.

This photo was taken, with Li Ran in the middle, Anthony and Billups on the left and right, as if they were guarding him.

All three of them had bright smiles on their faces, and the numbers on their chests were clearly visible.

The gap behind the three just exposed the scoreboard.

The numbers on the scoreboard looked bloody.

63-36.
Li Ran stood on the free throw line and made two free throws steadily.

The point difference came to 29 points.

More importantly, David West has fouled five times.

Five fouls, one more than four and one less than six.

That's bullshit, but he only had one foul to be sent off. .

But Byron Scott has no way to replace him. Without him and Paul, Peja, the team's third scoring point, will be completely guarded by the Nuggets in the first place.

There are not many people Gua can guard against, but Peja Stojakovic is definitely one.

How Byron Scott doesn't understand that the playoffs belonging to the Hornets are over.

If you don’t have the ability to know, it’s over.

As long as West is sent off, the seemingly stable point difference will immediately continue to widen.

David West's last contribution to the team was to score a mid-range shot and limit Li Ran's breakthrough.

In the next offensive round of the Nuggets, he was fouled again by Li Ran, fouled six times, and left the field sadly.

George Karl immediately stepped up his defense against Peja, and in this way, Paul successfully triggered the mantis passive.

Isolated!

Although the game has completely entered garbage time, the Nuggets still have no intention of keeping their hands.

Kill it and it's over.

At the end of the third quarter, amidst the frenzied abuse of the Hornets fans, the Nuggets walked off the court leisurely with a 45-point difference.

The enemy's slander is their greatest praise.

Li Ran knew that there was a high probability that he would not have much chance to play in the fourth quarter. His statistics were fixed at 22 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

Both blocks were handed over to Brother Pao.

Sure enough, in the fourth quarter, Byron Scott surrendered. Although this is a life-and-death playoff game, no one would think that the Hornets can even out the huge 45-point difference in just one quarter.

Even if the Nuggets score no points, the Hornets may not be able to score 45 points in one quarter.

George Karl replaced the bench lineup of Livingston, JR, Szczerbiak, Yi Jianlian and Gortat.

However, Li Ran knew that the Nuggets' bench lineup was not necessarily inferior to the starters of some weak teams in the league.

Byron Scott is so angry.

But he can't say anything yet, Yi Jianlian, Livingston and Gortat are still young, let them feel the atmosphere of the playoffs, no one can say anything wrong.

JR was originally a substitute, and Szczerbiak is a proper veteran.

Is there a problem with this lineup?
Yes, there is a big problem.

The Hornets' bench lineup can't beat it.

Failure to beat means that the point difference has been further widened.

Paul left the bench with a cold face when the point difference reached [-] points and went directly to the locker room.

The final score was fixed at 122 to 64, and the Hornets created a shameful record at their home court.

They created the record for the largest loss in the league playoffs.

58 points!
One point more than the 57 points in the regular season!
Paul once again got his title of 58 guns on a regular basis.

"I guess this game directly knocked out the energy of the Hornets."

At night, lying on the hotel bed, Li Ran called Ross happily.

Rose also played the third playoff game of his career today.

Facing the seasoned Celtics, the Bulls unexpectedly won the first game away from home!
