Chapter 953 Li Ba Treats Guests at Home

The current U.S. men's basketball team includes Howard, Bosh, Boozer, LeBron James, Prince, Anthony, Wade, Kobe, Reid, Kidd, Deron Williams, and Chris Paul. , the head coach is Coach K.

There are three point guards, three guards, three small forwards and three inside men. The only serious center is Warcraft.

But Li Ba doesn't dare to underestimate this American team. It's not 4 years ago now. LeBron James, Anthony, and Bosh are now good at shooting. They are no longer just guys who rush into the paint.

Then, Li Ba watched this playoffs. After two seasons of training, the defense of LeBron James, Kobe, Wade and others has become even better, and the effects of fly-catching training have begun to show. Although the effect is not comparable to his, it is much more powerful than they were before.

Especially Warcraft Howard, who averaged 3.9 blocks per game this season, an increase of two from last season. This is a huge improvement, which shows that fly-catching training is really effective.

Generally speaking, people like LeBron James, Kobe, and Howard, who are of amazing quality, can endure hardships, and endure hardships, have made greater progress, and their strength has been significantly improved. Li Ba's purpose of training opponents has been achieved.

In short, this American men's basketball team, in addition to being weaker than the Chinese team on the inside, will destroy the Chinese men's basketball team into scum on the outside.

The Chinese team's only chance of victory lies in internal offense and defense. There is no need to count too much on external defense and offense.

When the US men's basketball team arrived in the morning, they were warmly welcomed by Chinese basketball fans.

Kobe, who had just won the championship and Finals MVP honors, was the most popular.

When he walked out of the airport, he couldn't believe that he would be welcomed like this.

"It's a pity that I don't know Chinese!"

He regretted that he couldn't understand what the fans were shouting at him.

"You can learn."

LeBron James shouted beside him.

"No, I don't have time. I have to practice. The Hammers are back and I have to become stronger. But I have a way. I asked Vanessa to learn Chinese and then let her be my translator." Kobe smiled.

"By the way, didn't you say Vanessa also came to China?" LeBron James asked.

"Yes, she is at Hammer's house now. I will go there in a minute. Hammer invites us to lunch." Kobe smiled.

"Oh, I want to go too. He ate tens of thousands of dollars from me last time. I remember, I have to eat back." LeBron James said with a smile.

"You call him." Kobe smiled.

"I want to go too." The head of the monster appeared from behind.

"I want to go too, Hammer is my boss." Paul emerged from underneath.

"Gentlemen, please note that this is a formal visit and you need to prepare gifts." Kobe reminded.

"Oh, what should I do? Go buy it now?" Howard shouted.

"Are you still at the airport now? Wait, I will arrange a car to pick you up."

Li Ba received the call and simply invited all the players to come over as guests. He also invited the American team leader and head coach.

But when he was about to go out, he found that there were not enough cars.

With more than a dozen people, at least several cars are needed. He still has the original two cars at home, one of which is still a nanny car.

He took out his cell phone, picked it up, found the second-generation male Chen Hao's phone number, and called him.

"Tie Hammer, just in time, I have a party here..." The phone was quickly connected and Chen Hao's voice rang.

"Chen Hao, it's like this. I'm at home now and I just invited a dozen people to my house for dinner. Are you free? Get me some cars to pick them up. I can't find any cars around me right now. .”

Li Ba said.

"It's a small thing, I just have to go to a party. I'm in the underground garage right now, with a few friends around me. Just wait, I'll be there soon." Chen Hao said with a smile.

Over there, Chen Hao hung up the phone and shouted to the men and women around him: "Brothers, Hammer needs a car. Drive over there with a higher grade and support him."

"Haozi, we are all supercars, there are not enough people here!" someone shouted.

"I'm going to call people again. Did you just say a dozen? No matter, call a few more people over." Chen Hao took out his mobile phone and specially selected some friends who lived in this alley to come over.

Ten minutes later, a group of young men and women rushed over, and then a dozen super sports cars roared out of the garage.

Two hours later, the US men's basketball team arrived at the arranged hotel.

This is a common practice of the U.S. men's basketball team. If they don't live in the Olympic Village, it's not up to par.

As soon as we arrived at the hotel and entered the lobby from the outside, we were greeted by a large group of NBA superstars who were constantly being watched. Kobe was still the most popular one.

Before the room was arranged, Kobe was preparing to contact Li Ba in advance, and Li Ba called first.

"Kobe, I'm here in the Olympic Village. Where have you been? Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Li Ba didn't know the rules of the American team, so he didn't care about them. He came to the Olympic Village and waited for an hour and still didn't see anyone, so he got angry and yelled at Dadi.

As soon as Kobe explained, Li Ba said dissatisfiedly: "I don't have the strength, but there are quite a lot of bad rules. Let me tell you, in Beijing, you should behave yourself and don't act like an NBA superstar. If I find out, don't blame me." give face."

After being criticized by Li Ba, Kobe was embarrassed and shouted: "This has nothing to do with me. It has been like this before. What can I do? If you want to criticize Michael Jordan and others, they did it."

"A group of my friends are waiting for you here. It's a waste of time. Just wait for me and I'll be right over." Li Ba said and hung up.

"What's going on, Kobe? I heard the hammer roaring, and I didn't want to hear him yelling at me. That was terrible!"

Warcraft Howard shouted.

"He's been waiting for us at the Olympic Village for a long time, but here we are, and he's a little angry," Kobe said.

"What should we do?" Howard exclaimed nervously.

Kobe glanced at Howard helplessly. What can he do? Can he still eat you? At most, I'll be criticized for a few words later.

"Kobe, the hammer will be there for a while. Let's arrange the room first. Otherwise, when the hammer arrives and we haven't arranged it yet, he will be angry again."

The American team leader said at this time.

He is not a stranger, he is an old acquaintance of Li Ba. He left the Suns last season and joined Jerry Colangelo of the American Basketball Association.

He became the general manager of the US men's basketball team as early as 2005. After leaving the Suns last year, he officially became the president of the American Basketball Association for a four-year term. This time he also served as the team leader.

"OK!"

Kobe nodded.

Ten minutes later, Kobe and his friends threw their luggage in the room and hurried back to the lobby. They did not dare to let Li Ba wait for them in the lobby, otherwise they would definitely get sprayed.

Colangelo and Coach K were also invited by Li Ba. Together with all the players, fourteen people sat on the sofa in the lobby and continued to be watched.
