I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 33
Although Rose was not in good condition, under the leadership of Li Ran, Memphis still led Kansas by 4 points 9-6 at 3 minutes into the game.

Of the 9 points, Li Ran scored 7 points himself and assisted Joey Dorsey once, that is to say, all 9 points were directly related to him.

Self was pacing back and forth on the field, and the facts had ruthlessly proved that all the defensive tactics he arranged were ineffective against Li Ran.

"What should I do?" Self stroked his beard and thought hard off the court.

"Li Ran's performance was as good as ever. He successfully drove the team's offense. The Memphis team got off to a smooth start." Hardaway said on the commentary stand with a smile.

"Hey, this kid has my shadow." The emperor said to Wade beside him with a big grin, "I think he will become a little KING in the future."

Although my emperor looks over 40 years old, his actual age this year is only 23 years old, only less than 4 years older than Li Ran.

But now is the time when he is full of glory. He has not yet brought his talent to Miami. Last year's single-core team was swept by Duncan's Spurs in the Finals.

Duncan also left that classic quote that will last forever.

The future is yours!
This year, my emperor is gearing up and sharpening his sword, preparing to make a comeback in the finals and continue to fight for the championship.

It's a pity that these two years were the era of yellow and green fighting for hegemony, and it didn't belong to him.

After chatting, my emperor took out his mobile phone, carefully connected to the WIFI, and after making sure that his data was not used, he happily opened Twitter and edited a message on it.

"#小KING, wonderful game. #KINGJAMES." Behind it is a selfie of the emperor with a big grin and big white teeth.

It's a pity that today is Monday, and it's not the time to eat TACO.

Self called a timeout and was about to replace Cole Aldridge and Sasha Cowen, trying to increase the firepower inside.

Li Ran asked Ross.

"How are you feeling?"

Rose clenched his fist, feeling that he was much better, and nodded towards Li Ran.

It's not that Li Ran can't move anymore, on the contrary, he is in good condition now.

But as the saying goes, two punches are hard to beat with four hands. If the opponent sees that Rose is not in good form in this game, it will be a bit difficult.

Because Rose is the current commander of the entire Memphis team, if the opponent engages in some targeted strategies against Rose, then Memphis's seemingly flowing offense will come to a standstill in an instant.

It is reasonable for Li Ran to let Rose find his form before Self reacts, and then output wildly under the cover of Rose.

"Coach, something is wrong with Derrick Rose today."

On the other side of the bench, Chalmers suddenly spoke after Self finished his tactical arrangement.

Self froze for a moment: "Are you sure?"

Chalmers nodded.

Self's attention was completely on Li Ran just now, and he didn't pay too much attention to Rose's performance.

This is also normal, after all, there is only one ball, and Li Ran occupied almost all of the ball just now.

He quickly brought technical statistics.

In these 4 minutes, Rose took two shots, hit 0 goals, and made two turnovers and two assists.

Seeing this, Self's eyes lit up.

If Rose could be strangled to death, Li Ran would not be able to defeat a team by himself.

It is impossible for a team without a brain to go on a rampage for 10 minutes.

However, Self also ignored a data, or in other words, this data is not reflected in the technical statistics at all.

That is, the two shots that Rose missed just now were scored by the second attack after Li Ran grabbed the offensive rebound.

Glancing at No. 23 on the other side, leaning on his knees and sweating profusely listening to Kaliapa's tactics, Self made a decisive decision and strengthened his defense against Rose.

To put it simply, it is to arrange double-teaming when necessary.

The players set foot on the field again, and Chalmers stared intently at Li Ran and Rose who were talking quietly on the other side.

In this game, no one has a reason to lose.

After going through all kinds of hardships, defeating countless powerful enemies, and finally coming to this stage, it's not for crying and winning a runner-up medal.

"Always pay attention to my position, I will take you to win this game."

Li Ran whispered in Rose's ear.

Ross glanced at Li Ran with disdain.

"You are one month younger than me, what kind of wolf with a big tail are you?"

But after Li Ran's gag, Rose unexpectedly relaxed when he touched the ball again.

It is no different from the usual game. According to the strength of Memphis, it should be able to easily crush the University of Kansas.

As he thought this way, Chalmers rushed over viciously as soon as he passed the center line.

Rose subconsciously pulled the ball behind him, changed direction behind his back, and passed Chalmers easily.

Chalmers was shocked. Rose was not like this when he first played.

Passing Chalmers, Rose felt a vast expanse in front of him.

At this time, Brandon Rush rushed forward.

What Rose was thinking about was not how to get past Rush again, but remembering who Rush's defender was.

Then, with a one-handed flick, the ball passed Rush's side like a cannonball.

Li Ran was already standing outside the three-point line, as if he knew that Ross would pass the ball.

After receiving the ball, Li Ran is now vacant within three meters, which is a big open space in the absolute sense.

Bend your knees, take off, shake your wrist, release your hand, and land.

Everything is as natural as it is on the training ground.

The ball also fell into the basket obediently.

After the timeout ended, Memphis, or Li Ran, gave the University of Kansas another blow.

Seeing that the point difference was widened again, Chalmers, as the core of the team, finally made a move.

His tough breakthrough caused Rose to foul and made two free throws.

However, Memphis' quick counterattack poured cold water on him.

The classic Li Ran-Ross-CDR three-person connection, Rose has almost recovered, and after halftime, he passed the ball before the defender was in place.

Now it's a three-on-two situation. CDR and Li Ran are one on the left and one on the right, facing the defense of Chalmers and Rush.

CDR saw another defender Rush rushing towards him, and calmly transferred the ball to Li Ran on the other side.

Under the desperate eyes of Chalmers and Rush, Li Ran took off again.

His hand felt hot today, and this three-pointer hit the net again.

"Six minutes into the game, Li Ran already scored his 6th point, and made three three-pointers. Is Li Ran going to break another record today?"

Seriously, the single-game scoring record in the NCAA finals is basically impossible to break.

Because in 1954, when basketball rules were not so sound, someone, like Chamberlain, scored 100 points in a single game.

However, 6 points in 15 minutes reminded everyone of Li Ran's crazy performance in the last game against UCLA.

"Is he going to break the halftime scoring record he just created?" Hardaway said in disbelief off the court.
