NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 113 Magic Scoring King McGrady

"It must be a good feeling to have a large group of reporters following Hammer Boss every day, right?" Barbosa said enviously.

"There are a lot of Chinese reporters." Kaba Kapa nodded.

"Hammer, do you have anything to say about this transaction?" Smith asked.

"That's right, our defensive power has become stronger." Li Ba said.

"Are the Suns going to transition into a defensive team?" Barkley asked.

"I am the core of the field. Now the Suns must be a defensive team. But our scoring ability is not weak. We averaged more than 100 points per game in the first ten games, because we can play every game. A lot of fast breaks, so we are not a traditional defensive team. Our style of play is still highly entertaining." Li Ba said.

"So the team raised the ticket price to [-]%?" Smith laughed.

"Kenny, you're asking the wrong person this question. You should interview the director of operations, or the president? This has nothing to do with me." Li Ba laughed.

"Are there any changes to the Suns' starting lineup?" Barkley asked.

This question has attracted the attention of the locker room.

Especially Joe Johnson, he plays the third position. Now the team pays attention to defense, but he is not good at defense. It is very likely that Posey will replace him as the starter.

Barbosa is fine. After sitting on the bench for a while, he has already figured out one thing. The No. 28 pick in the first round is not high, so he knows that it is impossible to be the starter now. It is very good to be able to play as a substitute .He also saw Milicic sitting on the bench at the second place in the game. He was treated much better in the Suns.

"Frank, Charles asked about your starting lineup." Hearing this question, Li Ba called out to Frank.

"Charles, you can take it with you when you leave." Frank smiled as he raised the list in his hand.

"Haha, OK! Well, let's ask another question. Not only do you rank first in the league in rebounds, blocks, and steals, but you also rank first in the league in defensive efficiency. Does this affect you?" Barkley asked road.

"No, I didn't receive any more salary." Li Ba joked before officially replying: "Believe me, I will keep it until the end of the season."

"I know you're going to say that, look, I know you well?" Barkley said triumphantly, and then asked: "What do you think of Tracy McGrady?"

"A scorer with strong scoring ability." Li Ba said.

"Would you allow him to hit the basket over your head?" Smith asked.

"I'm going to do everything I can to stop him, he'd better not try to do that. You can tell him what I said, it would be dangerous for him to do that because he doesn't have a very strong body and he might be in the My men interrupted his career." Li Ba laughed.

"OK, we'll tell him. So, Hammer, are you upping your offense today?" Barkley asked.

"I will play a few games, but when we can control the situation, I will do what I do best and hand over the offensive end to my teammates. They are fully capable of completing the offensive end tasks." Li Ba said.

"You're not interested in offense?" Smith said.

"I just think my defense is stronger, so I need to do what I do best. But when one day my offensive ability can blast all opponents to the basket, I will not hesitate to take over the offensive end. I will do that." Li Ba laughed.

"Oh, as a famous Suns star, I look forward to that day." Barkley shouted with pretended excitement.

Next, the interview was over, and he and Smith took the big list from Frank.

"Okay, let me announce the starting lineup." Frank closed the door and said.

Joe Johnson looked over.

"No. [-], Hammer. No. [-], Marion. No. [-], Percy..." Frank said.

Failed to enter the starting lineup, Joe Johnson suddenly lost his heart.

"... Number two, Joe Johnson." Frank continued to read.

"..."

Joe Johnson's eyes widened, feeling full of strength for an instant.

"No. [-], Marbury." After announcing the starting lineup, Frank said to Joe Johnson: "Joe, your defense is not good, so you can play shooting guard in the future, focus on offense, and hope your points outweigh your losses." point."

"OKOK, don't worry, Frank, I won't let you down." Joe Johnson stood up excitedly and shouted.

Compared with small forward, he actually prefers shooting guard, because this position focuses on offensive scoring.

In the Magic locker room, Barkley and Smith are interviewing Tracy McGrady, the scoring champion of last season.

"Tracey, what do you think of Hammer's words?" Barkley asked.

"No one is allowed to fly over our heads. I know him, grabs a lot of rebounds, and is currently the league leader in rebounds, blocks and steals, and No. 1 in defensive efficiency. It's amazing. But even more amazing Yeah, he rocketed to the top of the Suns. Of course, I'm going to try. I'm going to show him on offense that his defense can't stop everything."

At this time, McGrady has shed the immaturity of the Raptors period. At the age of 25, he has begun to mature, but when he answered this question, he was still full of the sharpness of a sword when he broke through.

Now he is numb after losing to the Raptors and Magic. He has nothing to do but attack and score.

"flute!"

Game start.

The Magic started with Steven Hunter at No. [-], Drew Gooden at No. [-], McGrady at No. [-], Keith Bogans at No. [-], and Tyronn Lue at No. [-].

"Remember, the offense is from the inside to the outside, and the defense is man-to-man. Posey, be optimistic about McGrady. If it doesn't work, let him go inside and let the hammer finish him."

Although the Magic made it to the playoffs last season, their strength was not strong. Frank briefly arranged his tactics.

The current Suns are very good on the inside, with Li Ba's strong play, Marion's more flexible and large-scale offense, and stronger defense.

So from the inside to the outside, it is to use Li Ba's strong attack, and then pass it out after attracting the defense, or directly connect inside the line.

This is also a regular tactic in the NBA, which is to play inside tactics.

At the start of the jump ball, Li Ba took back the right to jump the ball from Marion, and personally jumped the ball with Steven Hunter.

Hunter was the No. 01 pick in the first round in 15. He is 213 centimeters tall and weighs 100 kilograms, but his strength is mediocre in both rebounding and scoring.

A big player with a height of 210 centimeters or more at the fifth position like him, as long as he is passable, generally has a good pick.

With Li Ba's height, there are too many leagues, the fifth position is too short, the fourth position is not mobile enough, and the draft requirements will be higher.
