Chapter 1056 Finals

The next morning, Li Ba woke up and learned about Dayao's injury. He suffered a stress fracture in his left foot.

The so-called stress fracture refers to overuse, muscle fatigue, and inability to absorb force shock, which then leads to fracture.

Dayao's playing time with the Heat averaged 38 minutes per game in the regular season and 43 minutes in the playoffs. The intensity was very high. Coupled with the extremely fierce Eastern Conference Finals, this was the main reason for his stress fracture.

"Dayao, rest in peace and recover, don't worry about other problems." Li Ba called.

"I plan to go to the winery to recuperate. It's quiet there." Dayao said.

"Okay, after I finish playing Wimbledon, I can come and stay for a while." Li Ba said with a smile.

"Oh, what if I had your physique?" Dayao sighed.

"Look at how greedy you are? With your height, skills, and touch, you still want this and that, so you have them all, right? I still want to grow two inches taller." Li Ba said angrily.

"By the way, why don't you come to Phoenix to check it out?" he asked again.

"Okay, I'll come over the day after tomorrow." Dayao said.

After hanging up the phone, Li Ba thought about it for a moment. Stress fractures like this are very troublesome and may lead to inertia fractures. Should he give Dayao some bone nanoworms to help him repair it?

He is not short of those nano bugs. Ten million is enough. Let Yao play for a few more years and help him stay in the national team for one more Olympic Games.

If the national team does not have Dayao, it will be very difficult for him and the Arab League to achieve results.

But the time has not come yet, and this one is not as good as it is.

The finals start on the 4th, which is tomorrow, and the schedule is very favorable to the Suns.

The Suns were waiting for work and their bones were almost loose. The Cavaliers had just experienced a tiebreaker in the Eastern Conference finals. They were exhausted and at a huge disadvantage.

Especially Shark, who played seven games with Yao and rushed to Phoenix the day after the tiebreaker, giving him no chance to recover physically.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Ba received a call from LeBron.

"Come here, dinner is ready." Li Ba said.

There are more people in Li Ba's house today. There are dozens of people from the domestic entertainment and sports circles, and there are also a large group of people here in the United States. There are ten tables at noon, and in the evening, including the knight table, there are eleven tables.

Master Hu had already called a group of senior brothers and apprentices from China in advance, more than a dozen of them, otherwise he wouldn't be able to cope with it at all.

Before the knight arrived, Li Ba received a call from Michael Jackson.

"Hey Michael, are you there yet?"

"Here we go, Iron Hammer, but can you skip the hot pot this time? I'm in a good mood now and I want to eat some other Chinese food."

"Haha, that's better. You'll be satisfied with today's dish."

"OK, I'll be there soon."

The two ended the call, and Li Ba's cell phone rang again. This time it was Michael, but it was Jordan.

"Come out and greet me!"

"Michael, an uninvited guest?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I want to eat the boiled cabbage today. Let the chef prepare it for me."

"Ha ha……"

Just as I hung up the phone, the phone rang again. When I saw it, what the heck, it was Michael again?

"Michael, you...are not outside my door too, are you?"

"Oh, Hammer, your guess is so accurate! Let me in quickly, there are too many reporters here, and a bunch of your security guards are pointing at me with several spray guns. I'm afraid, what if there is a fire? "

At dinner time, Li Ba's house was filled with twelve tables, and the tables were studded with stars, either sports stars or entertainment stars, all big names.

When the meal was about to start, Buckley came over again with Kenny Smith, and yelled that Li Ba didn't take the initiative to invite them.

God knows, so many guests at home came without warning, and none of them were invited by Li Ba.

The girl was very hospitable and asked the workers to move several boxes of 2004 senbei boutiques. The whole wine cabinet was filled with decanting cups. As the aroma of the wine spread out, the large living room could not contain the smell of the wine.

"Come, let's celebrate our Suns team's victory in the championship, cheers!" Before starting, Li Ba raised his wine glass.

LeBron raised his glass but heard this toast. He suddenly became anxious and shouted quickly: "This is not fair, Hammer, you can't say that."

"Yes, Hammer, your words are too rude." O'Neill echoed.

"What should I say?" Li Ba asked after laughing twice.

LeBron thought for a while, picked up the cup, and said to the others: "Let us wish the hostesses Crystal and Guoguo, as well as Hammer and all his family members, and all of us, good health."

"OK!"

This proposal was approved by everyone.

The next day, June 4, the G1 game of the 2008-09 season finals started.

Dayao and his family arrived in Phoenix at noon, and Li Ba made arrangements.

In the evening, before the game, the Suns were interviewed by some media in the locker room.

Zhang Lili asked: "Iron Hammer, how many games do you think can be the minimum to end the finals?"

Li Ba thought for a moment and said, "At least four games."

Zhang Lili was startled, feeling as if he had asked the wrong question.

Barkley did not give Zhang a reasonable chance to ask again, and then asked: "Hammer, what position are you playing in this game?"

Li Ba smiled and said, "I'll play against LeBron."

"Aren't you going to play against O'Neal?" Although he had some speculation, Barkley was still surprised when he heard this sentence.

"I think the combination of Mark and Yi's inside line is enough to deal with the Cavaliers' aging inside line." Li Ba said with a smile.

"I think the sharks will have objections," a reporter said.

"He can explode, then I will go back, but if not, I will only deal with the strongest knight." Li Ba said with a smile.

Before the game, the starting lineup was announced.

Cavaliers: O'Neal, Varejao, LeBron, Maurice Williams, Billups.

Suns: Gasol, Alian, Hill, Ginobili, Li Ba.

Zhang Lili analyzed in the live broadcast: "In this case, Gasol will face the Sharks, the UAE will face Varejao, Hill will face everyone, Ginobili will face Billups, and Tie Against LeBron James, except for the Sharks, no other position will suffer. "

Xu Jicheng said: "Gasol is not a rookie and has played in Europe for a long time. His performance this season is very stable. He should be able to carry the old shark, otherwise the Suns would not arrange the lineup like this.

In fact, if the Hammers are at the fifth position, James will not be able to rush in. His efficiency will definitely not be as high as against other teams.

But this star is very versatile, and he is also a great threat from the outside. It is actually not bad to let the Hammers match up and restrict the opponent's core players. "

Yujia said: "The Suns are under a lot of pressure inside today. If the hammer is not inside, LeBron will definitely hit the basket."

Zhang Lili shouted: "But first he has to get rid of the hammer to have a chance."

"Haha..." The three of them laughed.
