Chapter 189 Li Ran's Blood and Tears Training

"Weak defense? Steve, you don't think Stephen and I can win the championship in the first season with a group of rookies and soon-to-retire veterans?" Li Ran asked with a smile.

Indeed, if this lineup can improve its defense, it will be a championship-level team.

Even in Li Ran's opinion, the Grizzlies' lineup should be better than the Nuggets' lineup this season.

Everyone knows how high Curry's upper limit is. After all, he is a man who changed the general trend of the entire league by himself.

Moreover, this space-time Curry is still an enhanced version.

His second season at Davidson was much stronger than his original trajectory.

Otherwise, he would not be selected by the Grizzlies with the second pick.

Another very important factor is that even the cosmic brave of the later generations have always had shortcomings in their inside lines.

The biggest star is his cousin after a serious injury.

The big cleverness in the back and the like. . .Forget it and don't mention it.

But what is the Grizzlies inside combination this season?
The famous black and white bears!

Pyrenees Gasol Jr., a DPOY-level all-star center, capable of both inside and outside, organized, three-pointer and fleshy.

The black bear Zach Randolph, in his previous life, is the real core of this grizzly bear.

The famous prodigal son found his calling after wandering the league for a full decade.

The inside combination of these two people can rank among the top three in the entire league, which is not an exaggeration at all.

As for the backcourt combination. . .

It's not too much to rank in the top three, right?
Although Iverson has passed his peak period, if he is only a main force of the team, he is undoubtedly qualified to bursting.

Needless to say, Curry, Li Ran's younger brother has maintained a very high level since entering the league in his previous life.

If there is no injury, then Li Ran is confident that Curry can become the league's top attacker in the third to fourth season.

As for Cole's defensive concerns?
It doesn't matter, next season, I, Li-DPOY-ran, will make my debut.

The new version of the system's training system is very, very powerful, after all, Hua's ability is there.

Li Ran's remaining [-] ability points were less than [-] after this month's high-intensity simulation training.

What about the result?
Originally, Li Ran's inside defense was 66 points, but now it has reached 81 points.

There are only 90 points left from 9.

Speaking of this new version of the simulation system, Li Ran was in tears.

Because he chose to defend inside, after he went in, he found that he had become Kenyon Martin. That's right, he was Li Ran's former teammate, Kenyon Martin who was now in the Suns.

The simulated scene is playing in the finals.

Yes, the finals. .

As we all know, Kenyon Martin has only played in the Finals twice in his career, both when he was with the Nets.

Played the Lakers in the first year.

Played the Spurs in the second year.

In that game, Li Ran played against the Spurs. . .

What is the strength of the peak Duncan?
Li Ran had tears all over his face, the baby was suffering, and the baby didn't want to say it.

It's not just Duncan's problem, because that year was the last year of David Robinson's career. . . .

Don't look at the admiral who is about to retire, but what are his statistics in the finals of that year?
Averaged 10.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, ranking sixth among all players on both sides.

Don't think this statistic is very hip. In that round of the series, David Robinson only averaged 6 shots per game.

He scored 6 points for [-] shots, and he knows all about efficiency.

Among the four major centers, people say that Olajuwon has the ability to attack from outside the three-point line.

But they don't know that the one among the four major centers who is really considered to have small forward skills is not Olajuwon, but David Robinson.

This guy can run and jump, has a precise mid-range shot, nimble footwork, and excellent frame protection. He is simply the most perfect player template.

With Li Ran's current strength, let alone Duncan one-on-one, even Robinson would be very difficult.

However, it was this kind of high-pressure training that greatly improved Li Ran's inside defense skills.

After the finals against the Spurs, it's not over yet, because Li Ran's next dungeon. . . .

Or Kenyon Martin.

It's still the finals!
Li Ran was real this time, he was really blown away.

MMP, Kenyon Martin's second, or first opponent in the finals is the Lakers in the last year of the three consecutive championships!

Peak O'Neill!
Under Li Ran's desperate eyes, O'Neal easily scored an average of 40+18 per game on top of Li Ran, sweeping the Nets directly.

This round of the series has been played until now, and Li Ran has not passed the level yet. . .

Li Ran felt that even with a 99% inside defense, he couldn't defend against O'Neal.

In terms of strength and size, there is simply no way to make up for the gap.

The difficulty of the simulated training also made Li Ran very curious.

If my "African Mountain" skill is officially activated, as an outside player, with the ability to block shots that top insiders have, what will it be like?
With this attitude, Li Ran came up with such a strong offensive and defensive lineup after discussing with Cole and Kaliapa.

What he was counting on was himself and Xiaojia.

In Li Ran's vision, in the new season, the Grizzlies will use themselves as the core of the perimeter defense and Gasol as the core of the interior.

In this way, not only will the team's defense improve, but their own data will also look good.

It's time for Gasol Jr. to show his results.

I have to say that he and Dajia are really the winners in life in the NBA. Both brothers have championship rings and have been selected to the All-Star and the best team.

Moreover, the playing styles of the two are not the same. Dajia focuses on soft, ah no, space.

Xiao Jia publicly mocked his brother for playing softly.

Xiaojia is different, he is a serious DPOY.

Speaking of Gasol, Li Ran remembered another thing.

It's time for Xiaojia to practice three-pointers.

In this era, the three-point shot by the center is still regarded as an outlier, but in just a few years, it has become a must-have skill for the center.

Historically, it was in the 16-17 season that Xiaojia really used three-pointers as his regular skill. In that season, Xiaojia averaged 3.8 three-pointers per game and hit 1.4 times, with a shooting rate of 38.8%. For a center This is already an excellent hit rate.

He also had the best statistics of his career that season, averaging 19.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.

This shows that if Xiaojia can practice three-pointers, one more skill means one more choice. Now it is just right for Xiaojia to practice three-pointers, and maybe one day in the future it will have a miraculous effect.

For the Grizzlies this season, there is one thing that Li Ran is very, very satisfied with.

That is, their ability to run the ball will be very good. .Very. . .very good.

In terms of offense alone, the Grizzlies' lineup in the new season will be a super lineup that all coaches dream of.
