Chapter 659 Fighting the Clippers
The media has become numb to Li Ba's data. During the on-site interview, Barkley asked first: "Hammer, throughout the regular season, do you have any specific plans for the average data per game? 5*5 for Double Twenty?
Li Ba raised his chin and said with a proud expression, "Is this difficult?"
The media is speechless, is this difficult? Is it difficult? Is it difficult? Shet, of course it's so difficult.
Not to mention the average per game of the entire regular season, it is a single game. For any super giant, even Jordan and Dameng, are incredible statistics?
Dameng is the person who completed the most 5*5 data before Li Ba, reaching 6 times, but not once was the 5*5 of Double Twenty, not once, because he never had more than 20 rebounds.
Seeing the depressed faces of other reporters, Chinese reporters like Zhang Lili and Yu Jia burst into laughter.
"Hammer, can you tell me about your views on running and bombing?" Zhang Lili shouted.
"Garbage tactics!"
Li Ba said four words.
The on-site interview was hurriedly ended, and the season press conference was attended, and the Suns rushed to the airport overnight.
There will be a back-to-back game tomorrow, and they will challenge the Clippers away.
The Clippers this season are good, with a current record of 13 wins and 5 losses, ranking fourth in the Western Conference.
The core of the team, captain Brand, played amazingly this season, with a superstar data of 25+10+2.5+1.2.5.
The Timberwolves, which flourished in the past few years and even played the league's first front in the 2003-04 season, did not even make the playoffs last season without any adjustments to the lineup. During the offseason, this team fell into a trough. The team collapsed.
The madman Latrell Sprewell, one of the three-headed monsters of the Timberwolves, was dissatisfied with the contract provided by the Timberwolves and directly announced his retirement.
The alien Sam Cassell chose to join the Clippers, which directly raised the Clippers' No. 1 position to a first-class level. Brand has a point guard who can pass the ball to him.
The Clippers traded for Cutino Mobley again, creating a quasi-All-Star guard line.
The ship tycoon Elton Brand, who has reached his peak on the inside, is partnered with Chris Kaman, both offensive and defensive.
On the front line, there is Corey Maggette, who played 22.2+6+3.4+1.1+.01 last season, showing strong strength.
But Maggette has a problem this season, injuries, appearances and playing time have been greatly affected.
On December 10th, the game between the Suns and the Knicks has been hyped by the media, and no one knows.
Because of this game, the Knicks' chances of winning the championship have been lowered by at least 5 percentage points by the major media.
The run-and-bomb tactics were once again questioned.
At the beginning of the game, Li Ba had one goal and five blocks, especially the good he did to Stoudemire. He blocked four times in a row, which once again caused a sensation in the league.
Most of the media listed him as the strongest defender in active service.
And his five blocked shots actually dominated the league's top five shots that day.
"Boss, the Alliance is supporting you!" Marion said enviously.
"Everything is a business, because I can bring huge benefits to the alliance." Li Ba laughed.
At noon, Kobe and Vanessa invited Li Ba and Liu Yifei to dinner, along with Dayao, Daba and Marbury.
"Stephen, did Kobe steal your ball?" Li Ba asked when they met.
"Don't listen to him, he's sowing discord between us." Kobe immediately grabbed Marbury's shoulder and said.
"It's not bad here." Marbury laughed.
Li Ba called Dazhi, and they followed Kobe to a high-end western restaurant, sat down and chatted.
Several men sat together, and two women sat together, chatting about their own things.
"Dayao, are you planning to open a Yao restaurant in Los Angeles?" Li Ba asked.
"That's not my restaurant. My manager and my dad can open it if they want, I don't know." Dayao shook his head.
"Hammer, the Clippers are strong this season, don't be careless." Marbury said.
"I know, I have read their information." Li Ba said.
"We didn't accept the loss last time, and we will definitely win you next time." Kobe said.
"You still lose next time." Li Ba was unwilling to be outdone.
"You have weaknesses, we will catch them." Bryant said.
"What weakness?" Li Ba asked.
Kobe looked at Marbury and said with a smile: "The number one position is a big weakness. In addition, none of you can attack with the ball. Battier and the others are just role players, and Marion can't be called a superstar. They are defensive. Not bad, but offensively, if you can't attack with the ball, you can't attract double-teams, and once we strengthen our defense, it will be very difficult for you to score."
"But you still lost last time."
Li Ba knew well that what Kobe said was reasonable, but he couldn't lose with his mouth, so he immediately refuted it.
"You know what I said is right, your lineup is not as good as ours, and we must win next time." Kobe said very seriously.
"But you still lost." Li Ba said tit for tat.
Kobe's face darkened.
"Puchi!" The others laughed.
"Kobe!"
Vanessa on the other end reminded.
"Oh, you bastard!"
Kobe came to his senses, pointed at Li Ba and cursed with a smile.
In the evening, before the game, the two sides announced the starting list.
Clippers: Chris Kaman, Elton Brand, Corey Maggette, Cuttino Mobley, Sam Cassell.
Suns: Lee Ba, Marion, Battier, Tony Allen, Barbosa.
The match was broadcast live on TNT.
In the live broadcast, Barkley said: "The Clippers are really good this season. They have both offense and defense, and they are very strong. Five players can start and they can all score. Except for Kaman's scoring ability, the other four's scoring ability Very strong."
Kenny Smith said: "Yes, in terms of offensive scoring, the Suns' starting lineup is not as prominent as the Clippers, and there is even a big gap."
Barkley brought the topic to Brand, and said: "Poor guy, as the No. 1 pick in 1999, a dignified All-Star, Brand didn't even play in the playoffs once, but the undrafted Hammer But getting the championship ring and getting the FMVP, the difference is too big."
Kenny Smith said: "Elton worked very hard this offseason. I interviewed him, and he practiced an entire offseason."
"He looks thinner and has lost weight. 125 kilograms is really too heavy for him who is 203 centimeters. He should lose weight."
Nodding, Barkley smiled.
"No, no, haha..." Kenny Smith laughed, and then said: "He not only lost weight to 115 kilograms, which made him faster, but also improved his mid-range shot. You must know that his mid-range shot The pitch was good, but now it’s even more accurate.”
"Really? It seems that in this game, he will use the mid-range shot and shoot the dead hammer." Barkley laughed.
"If Kaman can have enough restrictions on the hammer, what you said is very likely to happen, and Marion can't prevent him."
Kenny Smith laughed.
