NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1310 Owen, I Can Shake Down a Hammer

During the intermission, Payton talked to Griffin about the problem of too few insiders.

Griffin said: "Gary, we don't count the salary of the hammer now. The contract of the other 12 people alone has exceeded almost 500 million. Including the hammer, we paid more than 6000 million in luxury tax. Short of man, do you think Parsons can let him play the fourth position?

Or, if you want to suppress Drummond, you can let Nene and Garnett play some more minutes, they can still play now, and they are in good shape. "

Peyton thought for a while and nodded.

Nene's condition is really good, and Garnett is also okay. The two played 55 minutes together without any problem, and just give Drummond a little more for the rest.

Now Drummond's average time per game has reached 25 minutes, which gives the rookie a misunderstanding that the team cannot do without him, he is very important.

But in fact, as long as the hammer is here, no one is indispensable, let alone a rookie?
Standing outside the locker room, David Griffin really began to consider the possibility of trading Drummond.

Of course not now, to trade Drummond, you must let him play the data first, otherwise there is no trade value at all.

He still wants to trade Ginobili, because a replacement takes up $1400 million in space, which is a bit too big.

In the locker room, Drummond was very excited. He scored 6 points in the second quarter. If he played another quarter, he would score in double figures. If he also scored in double figures in rebounds, he would get a double-double.

He is eager for the first double-double of his career.

He turned around and glanced at Li Ba, he didn't want to be a blue-collar worker, he aspired to be a super giant on both offense and defense like the boss.

In the third quarter, the main force of the Suns played, and Nene replaced Drummond.

Zhuang Shen was a little dazed sitting on the bench. Isn't he usually partnering with the boss in the first half of the third quarter?
After the third quarter, the Suns overtook the score, 82:75, leading by 7 points.

In the fourth quarter, Drummond continued to sit on the bench in a daze.

At the end, 111:100, the Suns won by 11 points.

Li Ba once again played 5*5+4 doubles+double 20 data, played 36 minutes, led the team to defeat the defending champion Heat, and won the first five consecutive victories.

Barkley said after the game: "When the Hammer is on the court, there is no suspense in the game. The Heat's offense can only be launched on the outside. In the second quarter when the Hammer is not on the court, the Heat frequently attack the inside. Inefficient, the Suns' bench lineup needs to be improved."

Kenny Smith said: "In this game, the media generally believed that the Heat had an advantage, and believed that the Heat were the touchstone of this Suns team, but the facts tell us that the Hammer said that this season is not challenging, and he did not speak big."

Barkley shook his head and said, "The main problem is the Heat's inside line. The inside line is at a huge disadvantage, especially at the [-]th position. Haslem is only a substitute. The Heat need to find another main power forward."

Kenny Smith said: "So, if you control the paint area, you can control the game. The current league is still dominated by traditional teams."

Barkley said: "The Heat once wanted to trade Gasol, but they didn't make any moves after winning the championship last season..."

Kenny Smith interjected: "That's because the hammer is not there, the disadvantage of Gasol's slow speed is not obvious, but now that the hammer is back, Gasol's speed disadvantage is highlighted, which also symbolizes that the Heat Likely to seek insider trading."

Barkley said: "In these five games, according to statistics, the Suns averaged 94 shots per game and 35 fast breaks per game. Excluding the average of [-] second offenses per game, the ratio of fast breaks and positional warfare is almost the same.

This shows that the fast break tactic has once again become the basic tactic of the Suns, and it is also one of the main tactics.So, Kenny, I agree with you, the Heat are very likely to do something inside, not only the [-]th position, but also the [-]th position will also seek a deal. "

At this time, Li Ba was interviewed at the scene, and a local Miami reporter asked: "Iron Hammer, what does defeating the Heat mean to the Suns?"

"The victory over the Heat is just an expected event and has no special meaning." Li Ba laughed.

That reporter is a bit itchy, what a fucking hammer, will you die if you don't pretend to be 13?
On the third day, the Suns defeated the Bobcats, completed the road trip, and returned to Phoenix on the 8th.

Almost at the same time, the Cavaliers also arrived in Phoenix.

Since the Cavaliers left James, although they selected the No. [-] pick Irving, their record in the past few seasons has not improved, and they failed to enter the playoffs.

But Irving's growth still makes the Cavaliers happy. He became the team's first scoring point in his rookie season, and the number of assists is also the team's No. 1. This season continues to improve, from last season's average of 18.5+3.7+5.4, an increase. At 22.5+3.7+5.9, the growth is gratifying.

The Cavaliers were interviewed by the media at the hotel.

"Kyrie, do you have the confidence to get into the Suns' paint and score?" a reporter asked Irving.

"Of course I have confidence, no one can stop me from doing that." Irving said immediately.

"Are you confident in single-handedly playing against the hammer? Will you try to single-handedly play against the hammer?" the reporter asked.

It was only then that Owen realized that he had become a reporter, but he was too individual to show weakness at all, and immediately responded:

"It's not difficult to single out the hammer, I can even knock him down!"

"Oh!"

A group of reporters exclaimed.

Soon, Owen's words were reported by the media, triggering a burst of public opinion.

Craig Sager, a well-known basketball commentator who once targeted Li Ba, stood up and expressed his views on Irving's words. He wrote in his ESPN column:
"Irving's ball handling skills are very good, he and Iverson are two types.

Most of Iverson's breakthroughs are to use a method to overwhelm the opponent with speed, and achieve the goal of one-step breakthrough.

Owen's breakthroughs usually combine multiple methods, just like combined punches, to achieve the purpose of breakthrough by shaking the defender's focus.

Both of these breakthrough methods are excellent, but no matter which one is used, it is quite difficult to shake the hammer down.

We can watch the Hammer game video. When he encounters a breakthrough master, he often adopts a pre-emptive defensive strategy, first forcing the opponent to do what he wants, and fully maintaining his initiative.

What we know is that the Hammer has a record, that is, he has never been knocked down, and his opponents include breakthrough masters such as Kobe, Ginobili, Parker, and Iverson.

So, can Irving shake the hammer down?I doubt it. "

Many superstars in the league have come forward and expressed their opinions. It is generally not believed that Irving can overthrow Li Ba.
