Chapter 791 Opening of the Training Camp
Hearing O'Neal's words, Li Ba immediately replied: "Shaq, I really can't hit you with fast break, but I can kill you with defense."
"How did you kill me?" O'Neal yelled.
"At your peak, you weighed 130 to 135 kilograms, right? As long as I gain weight to 120 kilograms, I will surpass you in strength. It is impossible for you to overwhelm me with your tonnage, and I can use my rebounds and steals , Kill you with my cap!"
Li Ba sneered.
O’Neal was dumbfounded. He weighed 125kg when he entered the league, and now he is close to 160kg. The weight of 135kg is indeed his peak weight. With such a tonnage, he can overturn a 120kg hammer with stronger absolute strength than him. ?
Li Ba annihilated O'Neal, and continued: "One of the four major centers has never won a championship and has no achievements in his career. He has no right to talk about the dominance of O'Neal and me..."
As soon as these words came out, Ewing's face turned red in the live broadcast room, and he couldn't sit still.
No one spoke in the live broadcast room. The hostility was too harsh, and even the audience invited to the live broadcast room looked at each other in blank dismay.
O'Neill also kept his mouth shut, he didn't have the guts to hate Ewing like Li Ba.
Li Ba's words continued to ring out and reached the ears of countless people watching the program.
"Robinson got two rings by relying on Tim Duncan. He got nothing in his peak period, so who has the right to talk about me and O'Neal?"
Well, Robinson, like Ewing, couldn't sit still.
Dameng had a bad feeling. He felt that the sofa under his butt suddenly had thorns. He regretted coming to the show.
"Hasm Olajuwon? If you didn't rely on Jordan to retire for two years, you would have a chance to reach the top of the league?" Li Ba's words continued to ring.
Well, Dameng's sixth sense is very inspirational, and his brain hurts now.
"Hammer, don't be too crazy!" Ewing said angrily.
"Boy, it's a good thing you weren't born in our time." Robinson was equally angry, even more angry than Ewing.
The two rings he was so proud of were actually belittled by Li Ba to the point of being a bastard, how could he not be angry?
Dameng didn't speak anymore, he wanted to be quiet.
At Li Ba's house, Liu Yifei wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned off the phone intentionally, but she was afraid of getting angry with the big hammer, so she had to continue holding it.
Hearing what Ewing and Robinson said, Li Ba sneered: "So what if you were born in your era? You were overwhelmed by Michael Jordan throughout the 1990s. What glory do you have? A shooting guard overwhelmed the four of you. If it were me, I wouldn’t have the face to mention the four major centers. None of the rings you got was won by the most powerful person in that era. They were all got by people who retired. Are you ashamed to wear them on your hands? ?”
"Hahaha……"
A certain hotel room in Las Vegas, Jordan couldn't stop laughing when he saw this.
These words made O'Neal go into it, and he yelled angrily: "Hammer, when I was in my peak period, Jordan's peak period has passed, what's wrong with me?"
"Haha, well, from now on, we will only be called the three major centers, except you." Li Ba laughed.
"That's about the same." O'Neill muttered.
Is there such a thing as bullying, isn't it too bullying? The three center forwards were so angry that they almost vomited blood, got up and left.
Barkley and Kenny Smith looked at each other, their stomachs hurting from laughing.
They don't care how noisy these guys are, as long as the ratings are off the charts.
Looking at the smiling director on the other side, the two knew how good the show's ratings were.
This program was so hated by Li Ba, that's the end of it.
At 10 am on the 21st, Li Ba's fly catching training camp in Phoenix officially opened.
The camp is in Shixiao, which is close to the desert area. Li Ba bought more than ten acres of land here and established a fixed training camp.
Inside the training camp are several training halls and several supporting facilities. Outside is the parking lot, surrounded by barbed wire.
On the gate of the training camp, there is a big signboard with a big fly and a big mosquito on it, and a big hand covering it. Below are two lines of big characters, Chinese on the top and English on the bottom.
"Hammer Fly Catcher Training Camp, everyone is welcome to join us, we are glorious flycatchers."
No ceremony was prepared, but Li Ba's influence was too great, and a large number of league stars participated, so it attracted a lot of media.
Barkley and Kenny Smith came to interview on behalf of ESPN. They stood under the sign and said to the camera:
"The Hammer is the only superstar in the history of the league who started a training camp before retiring. He taught everyone his unique training methods. He is training his opponents with his own hands. This selfless and crazy move will be It will bring unpredictable resistance to his career. But in any case, he is a superstar worthy of our respect."
Zhang Lili and Yu Jia also came to join in the fun, and said to the camera at the door: "Not only here, but also the domestic training camp of the Hammer is also under preparation. He has invested tens of millions of dollars in the country and will be selected from grassroots sports schools. A large number of youngsters with potential will join his training camp for free..."
At 9:00, Li Ba picked up Yi Jianlian at the airport and took him to the training camp.
Gao Yuanyuan and Bill Duffy are busy here with their own people.
They rushed back yesterday, and they were all in New York, busy with the boxing match with Arum and Mrs. Liz.
But the training camp is also very important. They are basketball agents. They can meet a lot of stars here and build a huge network of contacts.
Especially Gao Yuanyuan, who has no one in his hands, is pitiful, and just wants to pick up two leaks here.
Li Ba parked the car and walked into the front training hall with A Lian.
The inside is overcrowded. In addition to a large number of media reporters, there are a lot of famous players, but there are also a lot of unknown role players.
"Oh, it's Hammer, I see him!"
Harden, who was at the back of the crowd, shouted while bouncing around.
"Don't get excited, he doesn't know you at all, and he may not even have heard of you. Your invitation may just be picked out by the staff."
Westbrook said on the side.
"So what? He's my idol, I want to hit 5 pairs like him." Harden shouted.
After Yi Jianlian came in, he took a look and saw more than a dozen all-stars, even superstars.
Such as Kobe, Gasol, O'Neal, Marbury, Marion, Rasheed Wallace, Alston, LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Dampier, Prince, Paul Pierce, Kirilenko , Artest, Nene, Terry, Wade, Anthony, Bosh, Chandler, Paul and so on.
In addition to these people, at least a dozen of them are college and high school students who have not yet entered the league, and several of them are rookies who are about to participate in the draft.
Those who did not enter the league are all well-known college students and high school students in the NCAA. Li Ba invited them to participate for free, just to build contacts and increase the influence of the training camp.
Now Gao Yuanyuan and Bill Duffy are sweating with their respective teams, hoping to sign young people with potential among them.
However, some of them already have agents, and some of the draftees who participated in this year's draft have long been famous, so the two can only find them from those who did not participate in the draft.
Both of them have now established their respective brokerage companies, and here, the two teams have changed from a cooperative relationship to a competitive relationship.
