Chapter 993 New Season Press Conference
"Let's take a look at your serve first, okay?" Locke said to Li Ba when they came to the tennis court behind.
"OK." Li Ba nodded.
At this time, Gao Yuanyuan took out the tennis racket and tennis ball from the indoor tennis training nearby, and Li Ba started to prepare.
After swinging the tennis racket a few times, Li Ba complained that it was a fly swatter. There should be something in common between swatting flies and playing tennis, right?
Locke said on the side: "There are many serving machines in the world, such as Roddick. In 2004, he tied the serving record of 240 kilometers per hour. This speed is as fast as a BMW running with the accelerator fully pressed."
At this time Li Ba was ready and served in the right half first.
Hold the ball in your left hand, hold the ball in your right hand, throw the ball high, and then swing the racket to hit it at the moment when your body is lifted up.
There was just a bang, like a shot being fired. The tennis ball hit the opposite court instantly, then bounced far away. With a bang, it hit the iron net on the side of the court hard, and the entire iron net He was shaken violently by the beating.
"This power? This speed?"
Locke and Neil twitched their faces and opened their mouths.
Gao Yuanyuan asked at this time: "What do you think the speed of this ball reaches? Is it two hundred kilometers?"
"Well, it's hard to say. It should be possible, right?" Locke said.
Li Ba smiled and said: "I have only played at Senbei Castle, and I haven't practiced serving much. I just know how to serve. I didn't use enough strength just now. I believe there is a lot of room for improvement, so it doesn't matter if the ball speed is lower now." , I believe it can be improved.”
Locke said dryly: "Immortal, I'm sure this serve exceeds two hundred, or even reaches two hundred and two. I also see that your serving action is not standard, and there is indeed a lot of room for improvement."
"So what do you want to say?" Li Ba asked.
Locke smiled and said: "I want to mobilize you to change careers and play tennis now. As long as you practice your serve well, you can give pain to the top tennis players in the world."
Li Ba laughed and said: "That's impossible. Didn't you see that the balls were all out just now? With this technical level, it is impossible for me to play tennis. If I want to participate in a professional tennis match one day, my strength must be Get to the level of a Grand Slam, otherwise I wouldn’t play.”
Next, Li Ba served again, this time in the left half.
But this time he changed. He actually served with the ball in his left hand. The same fast and fierce serve made Locke and Neil open their mouths.
Locke was speechless and said: "Immortal, you, you can actually serve with both hands? This, this is incredible!"
Li Ba smiled and said: "My fly-catching training does not distinguish between left and right hands, so I can serve with both hands and even hit the ball with both hands."
Locke shook his head and sighed: "Nadal is left-handed, and his left half of the serve is very strong. But you can serve with both hands, which will give you an advantage in serving in both the left and right halves. This advantage is too great." .Coupled with the fact that you can hit with both hands, you really should try your best to switch to tennis professionally.
Okay, now let me see your backhand. If your backhand is as powerful as your forehand, then you should really switch to tennis. "
Next, Li Ba tried a few backhand shots. The power and speed were not as good as the forehand, but they were good and not considered a weakness.
Early in the morning on the 10th, Li Ba brought back several dogs and cats that had been fostered in the pet shop. Fortunately, there were not many dogs but not too many.
We haven’t seen each other for almost a year and a half, but the dogs and cats still know Li Ba, and they keep barking when they see him.
Li Ba saw that the pet store took good care of him and paid an extra sum of money to express his gratitude.
After getting the cats and dogs home, we gave them a bath together with the workers. The dogs were locked in the kennel, while the cats were allowed to roam freely.
At noon, Li Ba drove to the airport, and his family moved back to Phoenix from Senbei Castle.
"Look, Guoguo, this is your home too."
Guoguo arrived at a new home again, dragging her father around again, and the laughter continued.
"Cat? Yes!"
When she saw several cats, Guoguo's eyes widened and she ran up to hug them. She had seen this thing on TV but had never played with it.
"Goodbye first, Guoguo, hug her when she's ripe, otherwise the cat will scratch you."
The girl quickly asked Li Ba to hold Guoguo away, and then she went to hug the cats. She hadn't seen them for a long time, so she thought bad about it.
"Dog?!"
When she walked to the dog house in the back garden, Guoguo's eyes widened again. She had never played with this thing before.
"Wow, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
The girl was even happier than Guoguo. When she saw it, she ran up to touch this one and hug that one.
"Don't let Guoguo come into contact with dogs yet. The child is too young and not familiar with dogs!" Liu Xiaoli quickly warned.
"Guo Guo, let's play with cats and dogs from now on. Come, daddy will take you to play." Li Ba walked to a new building on the other side with Guo Guo in his arms.
"Yeah, I want a dog!"
The little girl refused and twisted her little body in Li Ba's arms.
"Sledgehammer, what is this? Is it your training room?"
The girl followed and saw an additional building next to the main building, and asked in confusion.
"Haha, come and take a look, Guoguo, do you like it here?" Li Ba opened the door of the building and walked in.
This is the playroom he built for Guoguo. It is more than 300 square meters and contains a variety of toys, including an inflatable castle.
After entering the playroom and seeing various toys, Guoguo immediately abandoned the dog and was so happy that she had a great time playing.
On October 25th, the preseason ends.
On the 26th, the Suns held a press conference for the new season.
Although the Suns had a poor record last season and were swept by the Lakers in the first round. This season's lineup is also average. There is no superstar except Li Ba. However, Li Ba's return has still made the Suns one of the most watched teams. It is not at all surprising. Lost to the most popular Lakers.
This press conference attracted more than a hundred media, plus cameramen and assistants, and hundreds of media reporters. It was a huge scene.
The host gave the first question to a local reporter who was the team's reporter.
Unexpectedly, this reporter did not ask relevant questions, but asked: "Tie Hammer, I know you are practicing tennis at your home. Do you want to engage in tennis?"
This question made Savor change his mind. Hammer, you just came back, what do you want to do again?
Li Ba said in surprise: "How did you know?"
The reporter said in surprise: "Are you really practicing tennis? Oh, don't be surprised. I just happen to know the coach you hired. I saw his car entering your house. I know he is a tennis coach, so I just Guess, I didn’t expect you to actually be practicing tennis.”
Li Bada said: "Okay, I admit, I am practicing tennis. But it is just my interest, a pastime in my leisure time. Maybe one day I will play golf or table tennis."
After he said this, Savor felt relieved.
