Chapter 748 Kid, Are You Bragging About Yourself?

"I think so."

"Yeah, we all know that wasn't a foul on the Hammers."

"Greg, you're so impulsive!"

"Mr. Popovich, you cannot dictate our will."

Yu Jia's words were recognized by the vast majority of reporters.

It's not that these people agree with Yu Jia, but because of Li Ba.

When Li Ba announced the news of the boxing match in New York last time, he publicly accused the media of inaction, and even announced that he would retire. After that, the attitude of the media became more fair.

"you?"

When Popovich saw that it was a Chinese reporter who was yelling at him, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he came directly and pushed the seat away.

As a result, the media will break up unhappy.

After leaving the AT&T Arena, the Suns returned to the hotel.

Liu Yifei and Dayao also lived in this hotel. After returning, they called their teammates and coaching staff to have a supper together.

The attitude of the hotel is average, but the food is okay.

Dayao seemed to have a loss of appetite. He had no appetite. After eating a little fruit salad, he stopped eating and said:

"You have great hopes of defending your title this year!"

Li Ba was chewing a piece of steak, he took a look at Dayao, and after he swallowed it, he smiled and said, "Dayao, are you envious?"

Dayao ignored this and sighed, "Do you think Marbury will really be traded?"

Li Ba said: "The big three only won one game, the gap is huge, your lineup must have a big gap, anyway, I think Marbury will be traded.

With Kobe, you don't need a top point guard like Marbury, and the ball is not enough to distribute. All you need is a second-rate point guard who can push the frontcourt, shoot long shots or make three-pointers. It can save salary space, won’t scramble for the ball, and can supplement the outside scoring ability. The rest The space can also reinforce the third and fourth positions. "

Dayao thought for a while, glanced at Lagabel and Tony Allen on the opposite table, and said, "According to what you said, I think they are pretty good. Their defense is very strong. One can break through, and the other has fixed-point three-pointers. The salary is not half of Marbury's."

"They are shooting guards." Li Ba said.

"With their point guard ability, it's enough to advance through the frontcourt," Dayao said.

Li Ba was stunned, and scolded with a smile: "You want to poach a corner, don't you?"

Dayao laughed and said, "According to what you said, Barbosa is also good."

Li Ba had a headache and said, "Why are you staring at the people around me?"

Ye Li next to him whispered to Dayao: "The first two are better. If you want to win against the Suns, you can't just attack, you have to defend."

Dayao nodded.

Li Ba sneered and said, "Don't think too much, maybe you will be traded later."

Dayao was stunned and smiled wryly.

"Brother Hammer, you eat this big crab."

At this time Liu Yifei pushed a large plate with a large crab over.

This is a king crab, several kilos in weight, which has been processed.

Li Ba poked two large pliers with a knife and fork, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, this thing is a bit like his elbow!

Although his free throws have improved now, it is super annoying to be fouled by others all the time.

If, he has this pair of big pliers?

The next day, media coverage of the G1 game in the Western Conference Finals was overwhelming.

For the Spurs' loss, it basically comes down to Popovich's responsibility.

All of a sudden, the famous coach of the championship fell into the media's heckles and his reputation plummeted.

At noon, the league not only rejected the Spurs' appeal that day, but also issued a sky-high fine to Popovich, fined $350,000.

This amount directly made many people drop their jaws.

But it's not surprising, it's no surprise that the league doesn't impose heavy penalties on directly attacking the referee for black money.

What's more, Mavericks owner Cuban was fined 250,000 US dollars when he rushed into the field to accuse the referee of being unfair during the game last year. Popovich's situation is much more serious. .

After Popovich got the results of the appeal and the ticket, he was so angry that he smashed the wine cabinet in his house.

The failure of the G1 game has pushed up the Suns' winning rate in this series. ESPN's guessing winning rate is as high as 75%, and FOX is as high as 72%.

Barkley accepted the media interview, he said: "I am optimistic about the Suns entering the Finals, the Spurs still can't find a way to deal with the Hammers.

This season, the Spurs have attracted Murphy and Finley, but this does not help to solve the problem of the inside line at all, and Tim Duncan still has no help.

What's even more frightening is that in the fast break tactics, the Hammers showed an unparalleled impact, which was not there last season.

So I think the Spurs' reinforcements last offseason were a failure. Popovich let Tim Duncan down. "

The famous Spurs Admiral Robinson was interviewed by the media. When talking about internal reinforcement, he said:

"When discussing how to deal with O'Neal before, we would say that we need a meat shield. But the hammer is completely different from O'Neal. O'Neal is a low-level monster, and the hammer is a heavy tank that charges into battle.

He is fast, powerful, flexible, bloodthirsty, and has unparalleled destructive power and impact on the basket. He thinks about how to destroy the basket all day long.

Now he has improved his free throw ability. I don't know how to deal with such a person. We don't have anti-tank weapons, maybe go find a similar heavy tank?

But what is frustrating is that in fact, offense is not what he is best at, defense is his ultimate weapon, and we are still having a headache for his offensive ability. "

The G2 battle started on May 26.

Announced before the game.

Spurs: Duncan, Troy Murphy, Bowen, Ginobili, Tony Parker.

Suns: Lee Ba, Marion, Battier, Tony Allen, Barbosa.

Many stars who have appeared and retired from the league appeared on the scene, such as Robinson, Dameng, Iverson, LeBron James, etc., plus a large number of Hollywood stars, making the AT&T Arena, which has always been unattractive, full of stars.

"LeBron, everyone is saying, you can deal with the fast break of the hammer, what do you think?" A reporter asked James.

James said: "The choice of tactics is different according to the opponent. My speed is faster than the hammer, and my strength is weaker than him, but my explosive power is stronger than him. On the whole, my impact will not be weaker than him. I think I'm a good fit for this tactic."

"Boy, are you bragging about yourself?" Larry Bird popped up from behind.

"Hey, Larry." James said a little embarrassedly.

Larry Bird said: "Your speed is faster than the hammer, but your first step is not as good as him, and your turn is not as good as him. If you play fast break, you may be stopped when you start, just press stop you.

Your hands aren't as big as his, and you don't have as much control of the ball as he does when you're sprinting, when you're facing the defense.

Generally speaking, you are not as good as him in this fast break tactic. "

"That's not necessarily the case." James refused to admit defeat.
