Chapter 1006 Returning to China by Bus

Zhang Heli said in the post-match commentary: "The arrival of A-Lian completes an important part of the Suns' lineup configuration.

Now there are only one position and three positions. If the trade for these two positions can get players with the ability to pull away and good defense, that would be good.

In fact, what I don't understand is why Kerr wants to trade Battier. His contract is not big, what can he get in exchange? The person he traded was later cut, and Battier was lost in vain. If Battier is at the three position, the Suns will definitely be the strongest team to compete for the championship this season.

Now the Suns' starting lineup still has problems. The problem of the Hammer being double-teamed or even triple-teamed has not been solved.

The starting lineup has only three offensive points. Tony Allen and Rondo can only have the opportunity to break into the basket when the Hammer is pulled out of the basket. There are not many offensive opportunities, and the Hammer will still be double-teamed by the opponent."

The Suns' game continues, and the management continues to seek trades.

On the 16th, the Suns return to their home court, face the Pistons on the 17th, and then play a back-to-back away game on the 18th, and return to their home court on the 20th to face the Lakers.

Without Ben, the Pistons have no core. Although they still have strength, they no longer have the strength to compete for the championship. This season, they traded for Kwame Brown and Iverson, and they want to take another chance.

In the evening, both sides announced the starting lineup.

Pistons: Kwame Brown, Rasheed Wallace, Prince, Hamilton, Iverson.

Suns: Li Ba, Yi Jianlian, Tony Allen, Ginobili, Rondo.

Before the game, Li Ba came to the visiting team's locker room.

"Hey, Hammer."

"Hey, Isiah."

Outside the locker room, the general manager of the Pistons is still Isiah Thomas, who is outside at this moment. When he saw Li Ba, he took the initiative to say hello.

The two had some conflicts before. In the 0405 season, the Suns and the Pistons played in the finals. The Pistons were in danger of being swept. Thomas called a group of old brothers to cheer them up. Rodman and others came to the visiting team's locker room to make trouble, and Li Ba knocked down two of them with two punches.

However, when Li Ba and Tyson had a boxing match last time, Thomas followed Jordan and a group of people to the lounge to cheer, which was considered to be resolved.

"I'll say hello to Allen." Li Ba explained.

"OK."

Thomas smiled and pushed open the door.

"Hey, hello, everyone, let me introduce myself, I am..." Li Ba shouted after entering.

"Haha..." The locker room laughed.

"Hey, Hammer."

Prince came over and bumped fists with Li Ba.

During the last Beijing Olympics, he also went to Li Ba's house as a guest, and they also had off-court interactions. Naturally, their relationship has improved a lot, and they can be regarded as friends off the court.

"Allen, your contract ends this season, and you can consider Phoenix next season."

After greeting others, Li Ba said to Iverson.

"OK, Hammer, that's it."

Iverson, who has entered the end of his career, was obviously in high spirits and quickly made an appointment with Li Ba.

The Suns beat the Pistons that night, and the Pistons' inside line had no capital to compete with the Suns and was directly blown up.

Li Ba played for 30 minutes and scored 5*5+triple-doubles, and the rest of the time was given to A-Lian.

After the game, the Suns rushed to Salt Lake City overnight.

On the 18th, the Suns beat the Jazz again, winning 4 games in a row and getting an 11-1 record.

The Grizzlies and Mavericks lost to the Lakers and Cavaliers successively, with the same record. The Suns ranked third in the West, behind the Grizzlies.

On the 19th, the Suns returned to Phoenix and prepared to play the Lakers the next day.

Before boarding the plane, Daba called and said that he had returned to China and was about to board the plane.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I have contacted the team in China. I will go back to my hometown team and sign the contract when I go back. The season has started a few days there, and the time is quite tight." Daba smiled.

"Well, you go back first, and I may go back in two years." Li Ba smiled.

"You go back?" Daba almost bit off his tongue.

"Is there anything strange about this?" Li Ba said.

"Isn't this strange?" Daba said.

"Not strange." Li Ba said.

"Well, you often retire, so it's not surprising." Daba said helplessly.

As soon as he got off the plane, Li Ba saw the Lakers. The two teams happened to meet at the airport.

"Dayao."

"Alian."

Alian ran up to say hello.

"Dayao, Daba left?" Li Ba asked.

"I sent him to the plane."

Nodding, Dayao said: "We can't contact the team for a while, Guanghui urged him, so he simply decided to return home. Anyway, the salary there is also very high, and Daba has also won two rings here, so he has no regrets."

Li Ba greeted Kobe, Duncan and others, chatted for a few words, and invited them to dinner at home.

"Do you have that roll dish? I like that one." Kobe asked.

"One roll?" Dayao didn't understand.

"Nine rolls of large intestine." Li Ba smiled, and he said to Kobe: "That kind of food is not sold in the market here, and it needs to be prepared in advance. I don't know if it will be in time. I will notify my family."

"OK." Kobe smiled.

"Why do you like that stinky thing?" Dayao said in confusion.

"Dad!"

Li Ba drove home, and before he got out of the car, Guoguo's voice rang out, and there was also a cat's meow.

He looked over and saw that the little girl came out of the living room holding a kitten in one hand.

"Hey, Guoguo, put them down quickly, be careful of the cats scratching you." The girl chased out from inside.

After getting the cats out of the little girl's hands, the two kittens ran away with a meow as if they had been reborn.

The little girl wanted to chase them, but her mother slapped her butt twice, flattened her mouth, and threw herself into Li Ba's arms.

"Big Hammer, look at you, she has just been able to walk, but she is almost flying. The cats and dogs at home are afraid of her." The girl said.

"Fei Fei, Dad, I want Fei Fei!" The little girl looked up and shouted.

"Haha, Fei Fei is here!"

Li Ba laughed and lifted Guoguo high, and the little girl opened her arms happily.

In the evening, Kobe and Dayao came as scheduled.

Li Ba pointed to a large plate of nine-turn large intestines on the table and said, "Look, Kobe, this is what you like."

"How many can I eat?" Kobe said happily.

"Two for each person, you can eat Dayao's, if Tim doesn't like it, you can eat his. A-Lian, do you eat this?" Li Ba said.

"Yes, there is nothing we Cantonese people don't eat." A-Lian laughed.

"Look, you can eat three servings." Li Ba laughed.

"OK." Kobe laughed.

"I didn't say I didn't eat it."

Duncan's eyes widened, it's mine, no one can grab it.

"Yes, I didn't say I didn't eat it." Dayao said.

"This thing stinks, you definitely won't like it, if you don't believe me, why don't you smell it?" Kobe shouted.

Duncan went over to smell it, it really had a bit of smell, and he was a little hesitant.

"Look, it's stinky, right?" Kobe laughed.

"Iron Hammer, can this be eaten?" Duncan asked Li Ba.

"I can try it, but it doesn't count as my share." Li Ba laughed.

"No, no, no, I'll just try it." Kobe said quickly.

"No, I'll try it myself."

Duncan has a much higher education than Kobe, so he can't try his dishes. There are two dishes in total. What would he eat if he tried them?

Kobe expressed regret that he didn't have the chance to try the dishes.

At this time, the worker brought a large plate of four-happiness meatballs. Kobe's eyes lit up and he shouted, "This is what I like too."

"This is good." Yao Ming nodded.
