Chapter 1129 Three-Party Transaction

Durant held the ball in both hands and hid it under his right assistant, then suddenly took off and made a pull-up.

The moment he stood up, pulled the ball from his ribs to his chest, and was about to continue rising, a big hand pressed on the ball.

"Beautiful! The hammer's response is really too fast," Yu Jia shouted.

"I know how to do this. It's an instinctive reaction from fly-catching training, but it's not as fast as the boss." Harden danced on the bench and shouted to his teammates.

The teammates next to him rolled their eyes, James, where the hell are you from?

Durant didn't jump up, lost his balance again, and sat back directly. Li Ba picked up the ball and went down quickly, assisting Tony Allen for a layup.

Barkley shouted: "Kobe's pull-up will be directly pressed in front of the hammer. It is too difficult for Durant to hit the hammer now!"

Kenny Smith said: "I don't know if Hammer has tested his reaction speed. I think his reaction is really too fast!"

Barkley said: "This kind of reaction speed, coupled with the accuracy formed by his fly-catching training, is really amazing when used in steals!"

At this point, he suddenly screamed: "Damn, he can earn tens of millions in just one week of training camp, and I have to commentate here for many years. This is so unfair!"

Kenny Smith laughed and said: "You know, I heard that his restaurant chain is already in preparation. It is a large investment of hundreds of millions of dollars."

Buckley said with envy on his face: "He is really rich!"

On the court, Li Ba returned to the defensive end and said to Durant: "Rookie, just ask for the ball again. Don't be discouraged. If you can hit a few goals on my head today, you will definitely become a great player in the future." A superstar in this league.”

So the honest Durant asked for the ball again, and then got blocked again, and asked for it again...

After the first quarter, Li Ba had 4 steals and 5 blocks, without allowing Durant to actually complete a shot.

Being brutally tortured by Li Ba, Durant felt like crying without tears.

He wanted to defend back, but Li Ba was under the basket on the offensive end. If he was asked to guard Li Ba under the basket, he would be afraid that his bones would be broken. Where would he dare to go?

The team's first scoring point was completely strangled, and the Thunder also lost the chance to win, 80:120, losing by a full 40 points.

Li Ba scored 30 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 11 steals, 12 blocks, 1 turnover and 1 foul in 38 minutes, recording a luxurious 30+15+5*5+4 double.

"Boss, you are still playing in garbage time, and you are actually brushing up data on us?" After the game, Westbrook and Harden shouted to Li Ba dissatisfied.

"Are you not satisfied? Then next time I play point guard, I can get a five-double on both of you?" Li Ba chuckled.

"No, boss, you should continue to brush Kevin."

The two of them took a look at poor Durant. The good brother was really beaten badly by the boss today. He received 8 big shots and was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to ask for the ball later. How could the two of them dare to face off against Li Ba?

"Boss, I'm going to treat you tonight. Let's go to the best nightclub? I want to find ten girls, and you can also find ten for me..."

Harden said excitedly at this time.

Li Ba's face twitched and he cursed: "Don't just know how to spend money. How many times can you spend your salary?"

Harden smiled and said: "I have money. Gao signed a lot of sponsorship contracts for me, and I bought a few sports cars..."

"Shut up!"

Li Ba scolded: "To become rich from nothing, you must first learn to control your desires, otherwise the money in your hands will soon go into other people's pockets. You must learn to invest, otherwise you will retire one day. It will go bankrupt one day.”

"Uh! Okay."

Harden was so scolded that he wilted.

Winning their 31st consecutive victory, on the 28th, the Suns welcomed the Grizzlies at home.

After the Grizzlies, the Suns will also face the Celtics at home.

These two games are also the Suns' 32nd and 33rd regular season games this season. If they can win, the Suns will have a 33rd consecutive victory.

On the afternoon of the 27th, the Grizzlies arrived in Phoenix.

Li Ba invited Marbury to his home for dinner.

Marbury's condition this season has declined slightly compared to last season, but he can still hit 18+2+6.

The two talked about the Grizzlies, and Marbury said: "With the introduction of Randolph, we are now playing twin towers, completely returning to the traditional positional warfare style of play, focusing on inside offense. Hammer, do you think this is in line with the trend? ?”

Li Ba smiled and said: "With insiders like Randolph and Gasol, of course we have to play inside. Why do you ask that?"

Marbury shrugged and said: "I feel like I might be traded. With Randolph under the basket, I have no room to break through..."

"Come on, you're 32 and you can't move anymore." Li Ba laughed.

"Damn, don't say it so bluntly, okay? I'm not old yet." Marbury laughed and cursed.

"The management wants to trade you? I paid attention to your game. You still maintain both offense and defense, and you still maintain the level of the main point guard. If they trade you, it will be difficult to introduce another suitable point guard." Li dam road.

"I heard that they are interested in the Thunder's backup guard." Marbury said.

"James Harden?" Li Ba asked.

"Yes, I overheard one of the team's scouts say that." Marbury said.

"That's really possible. Harden is not taken very seriously in the Thunder. But if you go to the Thunder, you really can only play as a substitute." Li Bada said.

"Please help me ask Gao if the Grizzlies have contacted her?" Marbury asked.

Nodding, Li Ba called Gao Yuanyuan.

"Hey, Tubei, tell me if you have something to say. I'm busy." Gao Yuanyuan said.

"Yuanyuan, have the Grizzlies contacted you?" Li Ba asked.

"You know? Yes, they want James, I support him to go there, they promised the position of the main point guard, and the team has been talking with the Thunder. However, I don't know the details. Do you want me to find out?" Gao Yuanyuan said.

"No, I'm just asking."

After hanging up the phone, Li Ba said to Marbury: "The transaction is likely to succeed."

Marbury nodded and smiled helplessly: "Finally I'm old!"

"Everyone will get old, and I will be old in 30 years." Li Ba said.

"Get lost! You are only five years younger than me." Marbury laughed and scolded.

The next day, the Suns defeated the Grizzlies and won their 32nd consecutive victory.

On December 29, the league announced that the Lakers had a three-way trade with the Thunder and the Grizzlies.

Garnett went to the Grizzlies, Gasol went to the Lakers, and Marbury went to the Thunder.

The three players were swapped, and the contract sizes were similar. Harden went to the Grizzlies as a replacement.

Not long after the trade, Gao Yuanyuan called and said, "Tubei, this trade has the shadow of Nike. They are helping the Lakers to strengthen."

"Really? Is Gasol much stronger than Garnett?" Li Ba said.

"Gasol is 30 years old this year, 4 years younger than Garnett, and is still in his prime. You have to be careful." Gao Yuanyuan reminded.

"No problem, Yi Jianlian's defense can handle him. The Lakers trading him will not solve the problem at all." Li Ba laughed.
