NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1309 Pat Riley's Fudge

Deron carried Harden at the top of the arc and arched inward. He was a point guard with a horizontal push and crushing type. He directly carried people into the inside line. Although the tonnage was nearly ten kilograms behind Harden, his strength was greater than Harden's. , the center of gravity is also lower, and he pushed it to a high position.

This time Li Ba was not polite anymore, he took two steps below the free throw line, and when Harden blocked Deron's view, he immediately rushed forward.

Delong also knew that Li Ba was inside, so he didn't plan to carry it all the time. He was just about to make a turnaround jump shot, when Li Ba emerged from Harden's back and slapped the ball.

"A high jumper with a defender in front of him. This is a cap for the Hammers! Deron has also played for 7 seasons, and his style of play is simple and steady. It shouldn't be!"

Zhang Lili shouted.

The Suns played a fast break. After Li Ba gave the ball to Harden, he personally participated in the fast break and rushed to the front.

James chased desperately from the flank, but was also a step slower.

Although Wade chased from the flank to the middle, how dare he block Li Ba?

"boom!"

This time Harden passed the ball without any problem. He threw it in after Li Ba rushed into the paint. The latter caught the ball violently and dunked with both arms, sinking the Heat's basket.

2:0, the Suns lead.

In the VIP box, Pat Riley was talking with David Griffin with a smile on his face.

Griffin didn't feel very good about Pat Riley. When he first became the general manager, this guy tricked him into trading the Hammers. At that time, the Heat's Big Three were Garnett, Wade, and Ray Allen. Something happened, so now that Pat Riley is looking for him to negotiate a deal again, he puts a question mark in his heart first, so as not to be fooled.

Pat Riley first praised Gasol, then changed the subject, and said: "David, your rookie center is a bit of a waste of possession. , there is suspicion of swiping data."

"You mean Drummond?" Griffin asked.

"It should be? I'm not sure, I didn't pay attention to him." Pat Riley said with a smile.

"Him? It's okay, we controlled his shots, and we positioned him as defense." Griffin laughed.

"I feel that his pick is a bit high. If it weren't for the hammer being his template, he should not be able to enter the lottery."

Pat Riley continued to babble, anyway, he belittled Drummond and raised Gasol Jr., and when David Griffin was confused, he suddenly said: "David, you want to get Jr. Gasol?"

Griffin hesitated for a while, and when Pat Riley said that Gasol was good and that was good, he was almost limped before he knew it.

"Think about it, a mature superstar, paired with a hammer, can make the Suns have the most powerful inside..."

Pat Riley continued to play around like he was the general manager of the Suns.

"What do you want?" Griffin seemed to be limping, and asked the chips directly.

Finally hooked, Pat Riley was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Garnett or Nene, you can just give me one..."

"That's not okay, we lack power forwards. So, I'll give you Ginobili, so that you can match the contract, what do you think?" David Griffin said.

"It's still close, you can add another head, um, just Drummond? A dispensable rookie."

Pat Riley looked indifferent and authentic.

David Griffin asked suspiciously: "Then Mr. Riley, why did you trade Gasol Jr. to strengthen our lineup? You are the defending champions, and we are opponents."

Pat Riley's heart jumped, and he said with a dry smile: "David, the Heat and the Suns have always had a good relationship. We seek to complement each other. We are also friends in private, aren't we?"

"In this case, how about giving us James? What we lack most is a small forward." David Griffin said sincerely.

Pat Riley was stunned, and glanced at Griffin. Seeing the playfulness in the other party's eyes, he immediately understood that he was tricked by the other party. He was disappointed and very angry, you trash, if you don't agree, you don't agree, what are you doing with me? ?
Griffin snorted coldly in his heart, how the hell am I still going to be fooled by you?
Little Gasol’s annual salary is almost 2000 million. If we get it back, we have to pay a luxury tax of 5000 to 7000 million. The position still overlaps with the hammer. After the trade, he can only be used as a substitute. It costs [-] million US dollars to get a substitute. Am I crazy?The boss must fire me?
On the field, the first quarter is over, 27:22, the Suns lead by 5 points.

Barkley analyzed: "The Suns are at the small forward position, and Caron Butler, who has been in decline for several seasons, has been blasted very hard against the peak James.

He weighed less than [-] kilograms, and James just crushed him and beat him, one hit at a time.

But the Suns have an advantage in the interior, and the Heat can only shoot outside. The Suns have an advantage in efficiency and rebounds, so the score is still ahead. "

Kenny Smith said: "At the back line, Harden and George Hill played against Wade and Deron. They suffered a little bit, but they were still a little tender."

Barkley said: "That is to say, the Suns' outside line is not as good as the Heat, but the Suns still control the advantage inside. The combination of Gasol and Haslem cannot compete with the combination of the Hammers and Nene, or Garnett." .”

In the second quarter, Drummond played, partnered with Garnett, Parsons on the outside, Ginobili and Kidd.

After half a quarter, the Heat pulled the score back.

Zhang Lili said: "Kidd has almost reached the state of retirement and can't run anymore. But the bad thing is that Drummond, a rookie, takes a lot of shots. Sometimes he is so far away from the basket. You pass it out, and he bursts out by himself." Go in and play, but you can't hold the ball in your hand, do you think you are a hammer?"

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "The offensive rebounds he grabbed, I found that there were none. He seldom passed them out, and he played them by himself. And once the ball went in, it couldn't come out. He had 7 shots in one quarter, and only scored 3 shots. [-] goals, and one missed goal, this efficiency is not high enough for a big center."

"A rookie needs statistics, but he gets good statistics, but the team will suffer." Yu Jia laughed.

Zhang Lili said: "He does have the shadow of a hammer in his rebounding ability. It is indeed right to use the hammer as his template. But there is a problem with his positioning of himself. He is obsessed with shooting, even if he is the current hammer. , nor."

On the sidelines, Payton looked back at Li Ba on the bench, spread his hands, and expressed helplessness.

This rookie is a bit egotistical, and he wanted to get some statistics in his rookie season, but he still had to let him play, because the team lacked a center substitute, and there were only four serious insiders.

He decided to talk to David Griffin. The team has a lot of guards and a few insiders, and whether it is possible to trade an insider.

After halftime, 50:53, the Suns trailed by 3 points.
