Chapter 1323 You Are Old, Who Can I Trade with if I Don’t Trade with You?

Pat Riley fell into deep thought.

He was under great pressure because the plan he was going to implement now was to dismantle last season's championship team to fulfill his long-term dream.

Two unprotected lottery picks, if they were the 2013 picks, it would be easy to say, but next year is a weak draft year, and there are not many rookies to show off, which is another difficulty.

"Let's do it!"

After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

This season, the Thunder's only competitor in the Western Northwest Division is the Nuggets, but it is just a competition. The Thunder's strength is much higher than the Nuggets. In the playoff rankings, the Thunder should be firmly in the top three, occupying an advantage in the first round, and the possibility of reaching the second round is very high.

However, the Thunder made it to the finals last year, and the second round is too low for the Thunder.

The Thunder's starting lineup is mainly based on outside offense, and the breakthrough tactics are played a lot, relying on the rampage of the Ninja Turtles and Durant's death-like offense to capture cities and territories.

The starting center Perkins is a short center like Li Ba, 208 cm, 122 kg, averaging 4+6, and is only a role player. The Thunder lacks people in the interior, so they can only let such a person start.

The power forward is Serge Ibaka, also 208 cm, 13+8, and the strength of an ordinary main player.

In the interior, the Suns are completely defeated by the Thunder.

In this game, Payton promoted Drummond to the starting lineup and let Li Ba play the third position against Durant.

In this way, even if Drummond is in the interior, the Suns' interior strength is better than the Thunder, and Li Ba strangled the Thunder's first offensive point. The Thunder has nothing to struggle and can only admit defeat.

After defeating the Thunder, the last day of 2012 has also passed, and time has entered 2013.

The Suns played a record of 30 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league.

Li Ba once again won the Western Conference Best of the Month honor this month, and continued to maintain the first place in the MVP ranking list.

"Come here, son."

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Li Ba was resting at home, basking in the sun outside at noon, teasing his two sons.

Li Yi and Li Yang are already seven and a half months old, with amazing physiques. They have begun to learn to walk, two months earlier than the average child now.

But they still don't walk much, walking too early is not good.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he left his two sons and went to the kindergarten at home.

Guoguo has four hours of training time every day, two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon, and the rest of the time in the kindergarten.

The kindergarten is not far away, just one kilometer away from the villa. When he arrived at the kindergarten, Guoguo was waiting for him with a small schoolbag on his back.

"Dad, let's go!"

Guoguo couldn't wait to pull Li Ba to the training ground.

The little girl is smart. She knows that her father is going to play in the United States, and her father wants her to go back to her hometown to study, but she doesn't want to be a left-behind child, so she is very enthusiastic about training and never complains about being tired, just hoping that her father will not send her back.

The training grounds are together, and you can get there through a fence. Zhang Depei and his wife are waiting for them.

Basic training includes speed training, strength training, endurance training, flexibility training, agility training, ball sense training, racket swing training, etc.

There is some freshness at the beginning, but it will soon become boring.

Guoguo is less than six years old, and there are very few physical trainings, including a lot of ball sense training.

Before the age of ten, the nervous system of children is the most developed period, and it is very important to train the ball sense during this period.

In order to lay the best foundation for Guoguo, Li Ba prepared 10 million nerve reaction nanoworms this time to optimize Guoguo's nervous system.

Guoguo's current nerve reaction is already pretty good, and he has inherited his top nerve reaction speed gene, which is close to the top. If it is optimized again, it can completely reach the top, which is the quality an athlete needs.

At the same time, he is also going to optimize Guoguo's shoulders and strengthen the ligaments and cartilage of the two joints.

In tennis, a swinging sport, the shoulder joint is used a lot, and it is impossible without a pair of iron shoulders.

After the afternoon training, Li Ba said goodbye to Zhang Depei and his wife and took Guoguo away from the training ground.

"Daddy, hold me."

As soon as she left the house, the little girl lost the tenacity she had during training and started to act like a spoiled child by hugging Li Ba's thigh.

"Okay!"

Li Ba kissed the little girl's face and happily hugged her. This was the last chance to hold her. Guoguo had grown up, and it would be inconvenient if she got any bigger.

"Dad, have I made any progress today?" The little girl looked up, expecting Li Ba's praise.

"I have made progress. Guoguo is great." Li Ba's praise was generous.

"Hehe, Guoguo wants to be like Dad and dominate the sports world." Guoguo said with a smile.

Li Ba was stunned. This dream was cool enough!

Time came to 2013. In a blink of an eye, Li Ba had been in the NBA for ten years.

On the 6th, the league announced that the All-Star voting channel was open.

Li Ba had never canvassed for himself, and this year was the same, as if nothing had happened.

On the 7th, the Suns began their away trip.

The schedule was very tight, with four away games, two of which were back-to-back, first against the Bucks, then against the Celtics, and then back-to-back against the Nets and Bulls.

After defeating the Bucks, the Suns rushed to Boston overnight.

At noon, Yao Ming and his wife and daughter treated guests at Xianbei Restaurant.

Yao Ming's daughter is over one year old. She is more than half a year older than Li Yi and his brother. Now she can run and jump. She looks like her mother and is very cute.

Li Ba prepared a gift and gave the little girl a basketball.

"What's the origin?" Yao Ming asked.

"The ball used in the last game of Dynasty's championship last season." Li Ba said.

"Wow, it's very memorable. Why don't you keep it for Guo Guo?" Ye Li smiled.

"It's okay. I can play another Dynasty." Li Ba said casually.

"You brag wherever you go." Yao Ming said helplessly.

"What did I brag about? Can you tell me?" Li Ba raised his chin and asked with disdain.

Yao Ming scratched his head. It seems that he really can't say it. This kid's bragging has come true!

The aging Celtics no longer have the strength of a quasi-championship. Although Yao Ming has two championship rings, he also has some regrets that he can't succeed in the Celtics, the league's top giant.

Not counting this season, he still has two seasons left on his contract here, and has become a burden for the Celtics' reconstruction.

"The team must be looking to trade you. When you get old, you have no value. You still occupy so much space. It's almost 20 million a year. Who else can they trade?"

Li Ba comforted.

Dayao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. Ye Li, who was standing next to him, heard Li Ba teasing her husband and laughed at him and fell on the table.
