Chapter 220 I’m not very good at fighting. Let’s add another one.

They arrived at Rose's house with ease, and it was Rose's eldest brother who opened the door for Li Ran.

When he saw Li Ran, he didn't show any surprise, even though Li Ran didn't notify him of his arrival in advance.

The Chicago gangster let Li Ran in with a smile.

With Ross as his backing, his two brothers' "business" has grown bigger and bigger in the past two years, and they have become prominent figures in Chicago.

Ross was lying on the sofa watching TV. He didn't get up when Li Ran came in. He just asked lazily: "Where's Taylor?"

"I'm busy, I'm the only one left."

Ross nodded, ignored Li Ran, and continued to watch his own TV.

In the corner, Ross's second brother was decorating the Christmas tree with his father. When they saw Li Ran, they all said hello with a warm smile.

Li Ran looked at Ross, who was a little out of sorts, and vaguely guessed why.

The Bulls just lost last night. They lost to the Knicks on the road, who can be bullied by everyone.

Rose scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, but lost by seven points due to the outburst of Knicks substitute Al Harrington.

Li Ran ignored him and came to the corner to decorate the Christmas tree with his father and son.

"Li, are you going for MVP this season?"

Rose's eldest brother's face was full of smiles. He grinned and asked Li Randao.

Li Ran smiled and said, "Derrick and I have agreed to be the MVPs in the future. I will come this year and it will be his next year."

The father and son laughed at the same time.

"Why are you laughing? Why can't it be me?"

Ross lazily came behind a few people and said with an unconvinced look.

Several people continued to laugh.

"Look at Li's data this year, and then look at yours."

Ross's second brother clapped his hands and stood up, looking at his younger brother mockingly.

Ross stopped talking.

Li Ran has played in 28 games so far, averaging 25.6 points, 15.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 3.1 steals and 3.3 blocks per game. The Grizzlies even returned to second place in the Western Conference after defeating the Nuggets, and have been firmly ranked first in the MVP rankings this season.

one.

Although Rose has made great progress compared to last season, averaging 20.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, he is still far behind Li Ran.

Knowing that his statistics were not comparable to Li Ran's, and his record was far behind, of course Ross could only silently recite words such as "Thirty years in Hexi, thirty years in Hedong, don't bully young people who are poor"...

The Bulls' record this season has improved, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference with 15 wins and 14 losses. It seems that the playoffs should be stable as expected.

Several people put away the Christmas tree, and Rose's mother Brenda also brought out a huge plate from the kitchen.

Of course, turkey dinner is indispensable on Christmas Eve.

The brothers opened red wine and sat around the table, enjoying the warm atmosphere of Christmas Eve together.

"Lee, Derek, we are proud of you two, keep up the good work."

Ross's father held the cup and raised his hand to Ross and Li Ran, and everyone picked up the cup.

"cheers!"

After eating, Li Ran and Ross, who were slightly tipsy, collapsed on the sofa together.

The eldest brother, who might not have had enough to drink, sat next to the two of them with a beer in his hand.

The two brothers, who had not seen each other for a long time, sipped their beers and chatted wordlessly.

"Lee, why is every team you go to so strong?" Rose suddenly asked strangely.

"Because I have good taste."

Li Ran was stunned for a moment and said half-truthfully.

"Then you can give the Bulls some advice? If this continues, when will I be able to defeat the Magic and the Knights?"

Ross is under a lot of pressure right now.

And this pressure largely comes from Li Ran.

Li Ran won the championship and FMVP in his rookie season, which made Rose, who thought he was not inferior to him, very anxious.

However, the Bulls' current lineup has not yet been rebuilt. There are two mountains ahead of them, James's Cavaliers and Howard's Magic. Rose is very confused.

"Derek, first of all, you have to know that there are preconditions for me to go to the Grizzlies this season. Steve promised me to let me intervene in the management of the team. You know this."

Li Ran said to Ross seriously.

Ross nodded: "I know, but I think I can have the same status as you."

"Then ask me again after you have made an agreement with the management."

Li Ran waved his hand.

It's not that he doesn't want to help Rose, but the Bulls' current lineup doesn't have much room for reinforcement.

Their salary cap has reached, and the entire middle class has been used. What kind of players can they sign with the basic salary?

And there are no remaining pearls now. If there were any, Li Ran would have hunted down the grizzly bears long ago.

"However, if you ask the management to clear the salary space this year, there will be a lot of big fish in the free market next year. Maybe you can trick James into joining the Bulls."

Ross sneered.

Are you kidding me, James will leave Gilbert who regards him as his biological son?

Will he leave the Cavaliers?

But the topic ended here, Ross just asked casually, not expecting Li Ran to give him any constructive suggestions.

The brothers chatted for a while, and then Li Ran went upstairs and returned to his room.

That's right, Ross has always had a room exclusive to Li Ran.

After talking on the phone with Swift for a while, Li Ran fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Ran climbed out of bed.

He went out for a run first, and then went to the court in the backyard to practice some ball.

During the practice, the Ross brothers also came.

"Come, let's fight bulls."

Li Ran threw the ball to Rose. Of course Rose would not show weakness and simply stood in front of Li Ran.

With his two brothers watching, Li Ran started bullfighting with Ross.

Rose's breakthroughs became more and more bizarre. Even Li Ran struggled to defend, and he accidentally scored three goals in a row.

However, on the fourth ball, Li Ran finally seized the opportunity and stretched out his long arm behind Rose to hit his layup on the backboard, causing a burst of cheers and whistles from the two brothers.

Next, Li Ran gave Ross no chance and scored five goals in a row to turn defeat into victory.

"How come your boy's defense is so strong all of a sudden?"

Ross sat on the ground a little frustrated, looking at Li Ran who was smiling.

"Talent, there's nothing you can do about it."

"I'm not convinced, come again."

Ross got up from the ground and the two continued bullfighting.

In the end, it ended with Li Ran narrowly winning 3-2.

The eldest and second brothers were so itchy that they couldn't sit still.

"There's nothing to do today, let's go out and play football."

The eldest brother's proposal aroused unanimous approval from everyone, so they drove to the nearest baseball field.

Today is Christmas, but there are many people on the field. Six people are playing 3V3 on the field.

When I saw Li Ran and Ross getting off the car, followed by two burly men, the stadium immediately fell silent.

Someone immediately recognized these two popular NBA players.

"Isn't that Ross and Li Ran?"

"Hey, I'm not very good at fighting, so I'll add one more."

Li Ran strode forward and said with a smile the very famous phrase in later generations.
