Chapter 83 Sorry, I’m so unfamiliar

After beating the Hornets back-to-back, the Nuggets took a day off and then went to the bitter cold land of Minnesota to face the Timberwolves again.

This is the second time the Nuggets have faced the Timberwolves in the regular season this season, and the third time in the preseason.

Li Ran felt a little embarrassed.

He really restrains Love a little bit.

Continuous games and running around caused the Nuggets to consume a lot of energy. After the opening game, neither Anthony nor Billups were in good condition.

But Li Ran is in good condition.

He has been using recovery potions, which not only heal injuries but also speed up the recovery of physical strength.

Love seems to have been psychologically affected by Li Ran, and this game was suddenly ruined by Li Ran.

His statistics are very good, 18 points and 12 rebounds.

But Li Ran hit him with a huge double-double of 25 points and 17 rebounds.

Moreover, Li Ran only took 14 shots in this game. From the first quarter to the third quarter, Li Ranguang made 12 free throws...

Love only played 30 minutes before leaving the game with six fouls.

Both Anthony and Billups were out of form, and they only scored 30 points in total.

But Li Ran scored 25 points, and JR, who was in the mold of Jordan in this game, scored 32 points. The Nuggets still successfully brought back a victory in Minnesota 106-97.

"This year's No. 13 pick Li Ran has been firmly ranked first as the best rookie since the start of the season. He is the player selected by Mosaic. What do you want to say?"

A reporter asked maliciously during a pre-game interview.

"Li Ran? Yes, he performed very well, but the team's performance this season is very good. I don't want to talk about a player who does not belong to our team."

Adelman said with a serious face when he heard someone asked Li Ran's question.

Mosaic has strengthened its lineup this season and has performed very well since the start of the season, ranking third in the Western Conference behind the Nuggets.

But the consequences of McGrady's forced isolation in the playoffs have begun to show. The legendary Big Three have never played a game together.

Fans are still looking forward to waiting for Mosaic to complete his transformation again after McGrady recovers from his injury, but Li Ran knows that this is no longer possible.

T-mac is no longer the scoring champion who beat the Magic in white.

It’s not the T-mac who clocked 35 seconds and 13 minutes in Mosaic.

Li Ran heard the news soon, and he just smiled coldly.

"I just have some feelings for Yao. What kind of team is Mosaic? Sorry, I'm really not familiar with it."

He was ready to kill him.

"Mello, I want to perform well in this game."

Back in the locker room, Li Ran found Anthony directly and said straight to the point.

Melon was stunned for a moment, then nodded like a big brother.

"Go talk to Chauncey and ask him to pass more penalties to you."

The grievances between players and teams are a long-lasting classic topic in the NBA. Anthony is happy to give Li Ran this opportunity.

Li Ran then went to find Billups. Billups nodded first, and then kindly said to Li Ran: "It's not easy for you to perform in this game. Mosaic has Yao Ming and Artest."

What he said is correct. Yao Ming's ability to protect the frame in the interior is too strong. Although he is not as good as the four major centers of the year who averaged two or three blocks per game, his height determines that as long as he stands in the interior, he can break through the opponent.

A deadly threat.

Not to mention Artest, although he is more suitable for defending those powerful perimeter players, but Artest, who has won DPOY as an outside player, no one will question his defensive ability.

The only good news is that Artest's lateral speed is not very good compared to his strength, and he and Yao Ming have to bear most of the offensive tasks, so there won't be too much energy on the defensive end.

.

In fact, the person who performed best in this game was Billups.

Mosaic's two point guards, whether it's little black bean Aaron Brooks or Anthony Carter who came from the Nuggets, are both small point guards in their early 18's, and Billups hit them with a pinch.

But Billups has now passed the age of being aggressive and aggressive. Now he just wants to win another championship when his career is about to enter the twilight years. He has no desire for anything else.

So Li Ran got his wish and got the power to attack at night.

More importantly, Artest, a big mountain that originally stood in front of Li Ran, was dragged away by Anthony.

The Rockets' starters for this game are Yao Ming, Scola, Artest, Luther Head and Aaron Brooks.

Li Ran's opponent became Hyde.

Hyde was also a breakthrough player in the past, but his ability was not enough to become a team starter. His career average of 8+2+2 per game does not explain too many problems.

His style of play is unique and he has no passing ability. He is okay as a substitute for McGrady, but it would be difficult for him to be the starter.

But against Li Ran, Haide is still very motivated.

After Mosaic selected Li Ran, Hyde believed that Li Ran would pose a threat to his position as the first substitute at the second position. Unexpectedly, Li Ran was traded out not long after.

In this game, Hyde wants to prove himself.

Who is not a genius anymore?

Artest kept following Anthony with a fierce look on his face, but Anthony didn't have much desire to attack, which made Artest a little puzzled.

This guy usually has such a strong desire to attack, why is he so calm today?

At the same time, Li Ran attacked Hyde head-on and hit a mid-range jumper.

He is still a little afraid of Yao Ming. Yao Ming, who has gained weight, is indeed a historical-level insider killer, regardless of his physical fitness and physical endurance.

However, Yao Ming has no intention of pulling out. For him, protecting the frame is second, and scoring for the team is the most important.

Coming to the frontcourt, Brooks lobbed the ball to Yao Ming. After receiving the ball, Yao Ming leaned on the Brazilian center and made an easy half-turn hook.

Suddenly a simple freehand.

The next period of time turned into Li Ran vs. Yao Ming + Scola.

The Argentine's footsteps in the paint stunned Kenyon Martin, which helped Yao Ming share the firepower.

Li Ran, on the other hand, attacked Haide head-on again and again. In less than one quarter, Haide got two fouls and ended sadly.

Adelman understood clearly that the Nuggets' main scoring point today was Li Ran.

He immediately replaced the old Nuggets player Kleiza, and then asked Artest to guard Li Ran.

Li Ran's hands were hot, and when he saw Artest standing in front of him, he couldn't help but be eager to give it a try.

Li Ran has already encountered more than one DPOY level defender.

Starting from Kirilenko to Kobe, Artest is already the third.

Then try it!

Li Ran leaned down and looked at Artest in front of him sharply.

I have a cold and feel terrible.

Everyone, please pay attention to your health.
