I'm good at basketball too

The Hornets suddenly went from an ordinary team to one that could beat the league's first team. This contrast was unacceptable to most people.

After the first quarter, there was no suspense in this game.

"I don't understand why Li Ran's teams are inexplicably strong."

Barkley said with a serious face.

O'Neal frowned and thought about it, and it seemed to be the case. When he won the fifth championship with the Nuggets, the Nuggets' lineup was also ridiculously strong. Not to mention the subsequent Grizzlies dynasty, it was recognized that it was the best in the entire Nuggets. The number one super team in league history.

Even Li Ran has left the Grizzlies for nearly three years. The foundation he left behind is the combination of Curry and Pickle. The Grizzlies led by him are now the top team in the league.

As for the Hornets, after going through a series of changes such as the Hurricanes and the change of ownership, the current Hornets just made a seemingly simple transaction and knocked the league's number one team to the ground.

Why is this?

Why are Li Ran's teams so strong?

While everyone was discussing, Li Ran was on the court and sent a long pass as precise as a missile with a guidance device.

This long pass spanned more than half of the court and passed right under the crotch of Kaka who was returning to defense. After hitting the ground and rebounding, it fell into the hands of Dream Chaser who was pushing for a counterattack.

Zhui Meng received the ball a little awkwardly, took a step forward, and dunked with both hands.

A similar scene almost repeated itself in the Hornets' next offense.

However, unlike the last attack, Li Ran changed from the initiator of long passes to the terminator of fast breaks this time.

And it was Jokic who had just picked off a defensive rebound who sent him a long pass.

After Jokic collected the rebound, he turned around, held the ball with one hand and threw it towards the frontcourt.

Although the throw was easy and freehand, the accuracy of this long pass was not bad at all.

Li Ran, who was running at high speed, received the pass with a little lead very smoothly, and then jumped high, dunking the ball with both hands and smashing it into the basket.

No matter when, this kind of domineering and violent dunk can excite fans.

But in the eyes of professionals, the Hornets' recent attacks revealed a lot of information.

Li Ran has organizational skills this season, and the whole world knows this.

Not to mention Rose, even if his ability has declined after injury, his organizational ability can still be at the forefront of the league, let alone Rose, who seems to have fully recovered now.

Jokic, a Serbian big man covered in fat, obviously plays with the height of a center, but his vision and passing skills are as good as those of a point guard.

Coupled with the height of the small forward, the position of the power forward, and the weird play style of the point guard-Dream Green. . .

No matter how you look at it, you feel like this Hornet is playing a very advanced basketball that people have never seen before.

Because Li Ran can swing from position one to position five, in theory, the Hornets can come up with a lineup that can be organized by five players.

Thinking of this, they suddenly discovered that during the period when Li Ran returned as the head coach of the Hornets, although the Hornets' record was not outstanding, Li Ran had been consistently doing one thing, which was to knead the Hornets players into a whole and at the same time give the newcomers a lot of help. More playing time, so that they can quickly adapt to the rhythm of the league.

For this reason, Li Ran even gave up his playing time.

Now it seems that what Li Ran did was undoubtedly far-sighted and successful.

After the Hornets ushered in the last and most important two pieces of the puzzle - Li Ran and Rose, the fighting power they broke out was so amazing.

In this game, the poor Bull became a sacrifice under the Hornets banner!
There is no lag in the coordination and movement of the players on the field, as if they have been working together for a long time.Anyone knows almost where his teammates are on the court.

Coupled with their excellent passing awareness and skills, the Hornets are like dancing on the court.

Their offense was as smooth as mercury pouring down the ground, leaving a deep impression on everyone on the sidelines and off the court.

"My God, I have never seen a team with such a gorgeous offense. They can turn almost every offense into a dunk. The Bulls' tough defense seems to have no effect on them at all!"

After watching half of the game, the score on the field was no longer the focus. Kenny Smith looked at his partners in disbelief and saw the same expression on their faces.

Although O'Neal is confident that the Lakers he led during his peak period can compete with the Hornets on the court, he can only compete because his power in the low post is unstoppable by the Hornets.

That's all.

O'Neal asked himself, can the Lakers that he led to three consecutive championships defeat this Hornets?

The answer is a big question mark.

In this game, the Hornets beat the Bulls by a full 45 points, but this is no longer important.

Even if Li Ran, Jokic and Rose scored a triple-double at the same time and set a new record, this is not the focus of attention.

Las Vegas pushed the Hornets' championship odds to the highest overnight, far ahead of the original favorites such as the Grizzlies and Cavaliers.

The worst thing is the bull.

After experiencing such a disastrous defeat, the Bulls suddenly seemed to be unable to play basketball. In the next five games, the Bulls lost all.

特别是被李然在头顶砍下34分14篮板11助攻的大号三双的小卡，更是在这六场比赛里场均只能拿到14.5分，命中率只有可怜的32%。

"Derek, did I hit him too hard? Kawhi seems to have been beaten so hard that he can no longer play." Li Ran asked, sweating profusely on the sidelines after training with Rose, wiping his sweat with a towel.

Rose just smiled.

In the six games since his comeback, Rose has completely regained the feeling of being the all-powerful MVP he was back then.

He averaged 26.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game, shooting 47.6% from the field.

At this moment, people finally realized something.

The Hornets now have the youngest and second youngest regular season MVPs in NBA history.

In the NBA, there is a saying.

There will be parallel imports for the No. [-] pick, but not for the MVP.

Of course, Embiid has not yet won his own MVP, so the gold content of this sentence is still very high.

And only Li Ran knows that he and Rose are not the only two regular season MVPs in the Hornets.

Nikola Jokic, this big man who has grown wildly under Li Ran's care, will also dominate the league in the future.

The cards in his hand were so good that Li Ran didn't know whether to play the king bomb first or the four twos first.

What a happy trouble. . . . (End of chapter)
