Chapter 1048 Lakers Home

After the game, Li Ba was surrounded by the media. He ignored the reporters who targeted him, picked a few reporters, and answered their questions.

"Iron Hammer, the Suns' lineup this season doesn't look very good. Why do they beat the Lakers by big scores in a row?" the reporter asked.

Li Badao: "We used this not-so-good lineup to achieve the best record in the league, which shows that this lineup is not as bad as you think.

You may care about giants and superstars, but what we care about is the rationality of the lineup, defense, and both offense and defense.

And, all of us are gifted. Take me for example, no praise is too much..."

"Pfft!"

Hearing Li Ba start bragging again, the media burst into laughter.

But Li Ba did not stop and continued: "Look at my teammates, Yi and Marc Gasol, they are both guys who can get maximum salary in the future. They beat Duncan and Garnett; Tony Allen , he is our perimeter gatekeeper, and he is suitable for positions 1, 2, and 3; Rondo, the gatekeeper at the point guard, has excellent organizational skills; Ginobili is a sharp knife, and he can insert whomever we want. Who do you want to insert..."

"Oh, we can get a big contract!" Tony Allen jumped up excitedly after hearing Li Ba's words.

"You know how to defend, but you can't get a big contract." Rondo complained.

"Rookie, you're not much better than me, who is always being left out?" Tony Allen said dissatisfied.

Rondo hummed twice and fell silent.

His personality is not very good, he is very withdrawn and has difficulty communicating. After staying with the Celtics for a year, he often had disputes with others, but when he returned to the Suns, he was much better.

At the post-game press conference, only one Artest came from the Lakers players, not even Duncan.

"Phil, may I ask why Kobe and the others didn't come?" a reporter asked loudly.

"Sorry, they are a little unwell." Phil Jackson said.

"Phil, after losing the G2 game and returning home, how will the Lakers prepare for the G3 game?" The first person to ask was the Lakers' team reporter, Wells, a reporter from the Los Angeles Sports News.

"We will try to protect our home court." Phil Jackson said briefly.

"How to protect it?" Wells asked.

"Strive to protect." Phil Jackson replied with some difficulty.

Li Ba lowered his head, lying on the table and laughing non-stop.

It's not his fault. The two of them cooperated so well in every question and answer. It was all nonsense.

"Hammer, why did you start the game tonight with a full-court press?" someone asked Li Ba.

"There are not so many reasons. I can use the full-court press tactic at any time. It just depends on whether I am willing or not." Li Ba said with a smile.

"I only got 5 rebounds tonight, which is not enough for you in the regular season. Is there anything you want to say?"

"But we didn't suffer in rebounding tonight. Yi and Mark did a good job inside. There are many ways to win. We can win without my rebounding tonight." Li Ba said with a smile.

"You are trying more at the point guard position now. Is it possible to play the No. 1 position for a long time in the future?" the reporter asked.

"I am different from Jordan and Kobe. I do hope to try more. For example, different positions, such as different sports. Maybe next season I will play point guard, or maybe the third or fourth position. It depends on the situation," Li Ba said.

"Will you play the second position?"

"Never possible, I don't have that talent." Li Ba said with a smile.

"Hammer, you won the Wimbledon wild card, how did you get it?" a reporter asked.

"When you stand at my level, you won't ask this question again, because it is not a problem for me at all." Li Ba said with a smile.

"What career expectations do you have for Wimbledon?" the reporter asked again.

"I will take it seriously." Li Ba said.

The next day, the Suns moved to Los Angeles.

Li Ba's family and a group of friends also came to Luo City.

At noon, Li Ba and Yatou took Guoguo to Disneyland.

Guoguo was still young, so in order to protect her eyesight, she was not allowed to watch any cartoons, so she seemed not very interested in this place and left after playing for a while.

Back in the city, Li Ba's family entertained guests. The guests were Zhang Depei and his wife Liu Baoan, accompanied by Gao Yuanyuan.

Zhang Depei is ten years older than Li Ba. He only got married last year. His wife, Liu Baoan, is also a tennis coach and is of Chinese descent. The two settled in Los Angeles.

"After retiring, I always hoped to coach a Chinese player. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it..."

Zhang Depei smiled with some emotion.

"Didn't expect it was me?" Li Ba said with a smile.

Nodding, Zhang Depei smiled and said: "Yes, you are the best basketball player in the world and the heavyweight boxing champion of the world. I never thought you would come to play tennis, and it is professional tennis."

Li Ba smiled and said: "I shouldn't get any honors from this Wimbledon trip, but I'm sure I will set a record."

Zhang Depei learned about some of Li Ba's training from Gao Yuanyuan, and immediately said excitedly: "Serve?"

"Yes, I'm sure I can break the world record for serving." Li Ba said with a smile.

Zhang Depei nodded and smiled: "I heard your serving speed at that time, wow, I was so surprised! If you can hit enough aces in a single game during the game, you might be able to advance."

"It depends on luck. My training time is too short..." Li Ba raised his wrist and said: "The wrist is too thick and the flexibility is not very good. When maintaining the speed of the ball, if the force is too strong, the ball cannot be pressed down. ”

Zhang Depei smiled and said: "Some physical qualities are difficult to change, but technology can help you. If your wrist cannot be pressed down, you can increase the rotation of the ball and let it change its trajectory, thereby improving the hit rate of the serve. This is the same as shooting, increasing The rotation of the basketball means the chance of hitting the basket is greater.”

The two chatted for a while, and Li Ba invited them to watch a game at Staples tomorrow night.

On May 9, the second-round G3 game between the Suns and the Lakers began.

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

Lakers: Duncan, Garnett, Artest, Kobe, Parker.

At the beginning, Li Ba won the jump ball and the Suns attacked.

The UAE led Duncan to the right wing, and Li Ba came to the high post to receive the pass from Rondo, and was then double-teamed by Garnett and Artest.

Although Li Ba was double-teamed, the Lakers' basket was also empty.

At this time, Ah Lian, who had just been pulled out, suddenly reversed and used a faster pace to drop Duncan and cut to the basket.

Artest quickly defended the basket, but at this time Li Ba used his turn to break through Garnett and followed Artest to pounce.

"careful!"

When Duncan turned around, he could no longer keep up with Li Ba and yelled in anxiety.

Artest, who had just returned to the basket to block the Arab League, heard a loud "bang" above his head, and then his back seemed to be hit by a heavy truck. A huge force hit him, and he suddenly jumped forward. He fell flat on his face, and when he got up, his face was black.

There was a dunk at the beginning, and even people were dunked and fell down, leaving Staples in silence.
