Chapter 82 Someone who can educate Billups

After the Bulls came to Denver, Li Ran called Rose.

When a good brother comes, of course I have to treat him to a meal.

"You will definitely be educated by Chauncey in this game."

At the dinner table, Li Ran said to Ross confidently.

Ross looked unconvinced.

His performance this year is good. Although not as outstanding as Li Ran, his average of 16+3+5 per game is good enough for a rookie.

Li Ran smiled and said nothing.

This year's Nuggets, although the core is still Anthony, the real soul is Billups.

This player, who may have been the most low-key FMVP before Iguodala, has enjoyed his second spring in the Nuggets.

On the court, his ability to control rhythm has reached an advanced level. Billups is indispensable for the Nuggets' ability to flexibly switch between positional warfare and run-and-gun play.

Again, Billups' strength cannot be reflected in the statistics.

He averages less than 8 assists per game, which is far behind those point guards who frequently reach double figures. However, the Nuggets' record and the team's tactical fluency in the game are better than those of the teams where those point guards are playing.

Be good.

And Billups is tough defensively. He was able to face almost all point guards in the Pistons' top five.

As for the offense, although with Anthony and Li Ran, the team does not lack offensive firepower, but at critical moments, Billups will still stand up and hit the target with his precise three-pointers.

Only by actually playing with Billups can you know how important he is to the Nuggets.

This is something Iverson can't bring to the Nuggets.

Therefore, Li Ran is convinced that in this game, Rose, who is facing off against Billups, will definitely be taught a good lesson by him.

As for victory or defeat...is the key to victory or defeat?

As far as the Bulls are concerned, Rose's future two generals are not yet in place.

Noah is still in the process of leveling up in his second year this year.

Boozer was still tricked by Sloan into reorganizing the Utah Twins on the Utah Plateau.

And now the Bulls are very bloated on the perimeter, and the team still has a long way to go.

Sure enough, in the next day's game, Rose led the team and was defeated by the Nuggets.

Even Li Ran and Anthony didn't exert much effort.

Rose, who played against Billups, played 44 minutes and only scored 15 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 turnovers on 7-of-16 shooting.

Billups made an understatement and made 7 of 16 shots in 37 minutes, but he also made 7 of 8 free throws and a three-pointer. He scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 0 turnovers.

But in this game, it was Kenyon Martin who stole the show.

Facing Drew Gooden, Kenyon Martin made ten of ten shots and even had a three-pointer, scoring a team-high 26 points.

The quiet Brazilian center also taught Joakim Noah a lesson, scoring 21 points and 8 rebounds.

Li Ran...

Well, Li Ran admitted that he was blown away in this game.

Facing the explosive Ben Gordon, Li Ran was beaten and was a little confused.

Ben Gordon scored a game-high 28 points in just 13 shots.

This British-American guard whose strength is greater than his fame is simply possessed by Kobe Bryant today.

However, Li Ran doesn't care too much about the fact that his score is 15 points less than Ben Gordon. After all, he is still a pink and cute rookie.

Is it a shame to be beaten by an old bird?

Looking at the 13 points and 16 rebounds on his report card, Li Ran smiled.

Sometimes, you have to stop when you are tired to avoid injuring your body.

Wouldn't it be better to grab more rebounds?

Kenyon Martin, who performed best in this game, saw George Karl smiling at him after coming off the field, and subconsciously smiled back.

However, he felt that his head coach's smile was strange, and he couldn't tell what was strange about it...

If Li Ran saw it, he would definitely say——

Isn't this the smile of the pig farmer when the fat pig at home is about to be released from the cage?

In short, the Nuggets taught the No. 1 pick a lesson with a 23-point victory.

Before leaving, Li Ran invited Ross to have a meal again. Seeing Ross's unconvinced look, he smiled to himself.

"It doesn't matter. Didn't you see that I scored fewer points than you in this game?"

Ross looked at Li Ran and wanted to find something on the table and throw it in his face.

Are you still shameless when you speak?

How shameless.

he~tui!

16 rebounds, you compare with me?

Before leaving, Ross suddenly said to Li Ran: "Behave well in a few days and slap those people in the face and make them regret it for the rest of their lives!"

Li Ran nodded seriously.

He knew which game Rose was talking about.

This game against the Bulls was played on November 23.

After the game, the Nuggets will rest for two days and then face a devilish schedule.

Starting from November 26th to November 30th, the Nuggets will play four consecutive games in five days, two back-to-back games.

The most disgusting thing is that these two back to back are the most deceptive host-guest-guest-host back-to-back.

In the last game of this devilish schedule, the Nuggets will face the challenge of Mosaic, one of the top three Texas teams, at home.

When he thought of Mosaic sending him away without hesitation for two role players, Li Ran became extremely angry.

Stand out and treat it like a piece of grass, discard it like a pair of old clogs.

Then it’s okay if you don’t choose me, or you can let me go directly to the Trail Blazers.

However, Li Ran is very glad that he finally came to the Nuggets.

This team is really good.

Li Ran even felt that the team could challenge the Lakers in the playoffs.

After two days of rest, the Nuggets welcomed the Clippers at home.

In the end, Anthony's killer hit helped the team narrowly win by one point at home.

In this game, Li Ran was slapped several times by former Nuggets player Marcus Camby, but it did not affect his overall score of 17 points and 11 rebounds.

Then, the Nuggets headed to New Orleans with their tenth consecutive victory.

Then I gave him a good education.

You know, Paul, who is still called the Queen Bee, has never injured his knees.

With a height of 1.83 meters and a wingspan of 1.94 meters, he dunked on Howard in the second season of his career.

You read that right, dunking on Howard.

This season in history is Paul's peak season. He averaged 22.8 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of over 50%. He ranked seventh in the league in total points and continued to lead the league in assists.

Moreover, Billups received a rare education from Paul.

The 32-year-old Billups faced the 23-year-old Paul. Not only did Paul score 22 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals, he also only made 4 of 12 shots and scored 12 points, 0 rebounds and 5 assists.

Not only was Billups misfired, Nene and Martin, the duo who performed well in the previous game, combined for 15 points in this game.

Even though Anthony and Li Ran tried their best to grab points, they were defeated by Paul's 4-for-4 free throws at the last moment.

Anthony scored 24 points on 8-of-13 shooting.

Li Ran performed even better, with 32 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

But it was of no use. The Nuggets ended their ten-game winning streak in a daze.
