NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 134 A forest?Or a crooked neck tree?

For the first time, Li Ba felt so tired playing.

He took the ball four more times in the fourth quarter, scored once, made a turnover, was fouled twice, and went to the free throw line. 4 of 1 shot, 1 of 1 free throws, scored 4 points, the efficiency is average.

His turnovers are increasing, and there is a problem with the lob with Marbury. He starts a little early, and Marbury's pass is a little late.

But this can't narrow the point difference, because the Nuggets don't play inside at all, which makes it impossible for him to play defensively. He has no blocks and steals, and he has fewer rebounds.

His interior defense has been weakened, and the direct impact is that the number of fast breaks of the Suns today is five or six times less than in the previous games.

"Don't worry, we still have a chance. As long as they feel down from the outside, it's our chance. They won't keep shooting."

The buzzing noise of the Pepsi Center forced Frank, who was sweating profusely, to shout loudly.

But it's a pity that the Nuggets' touch today has been maintained until the end.

92:106, the Suns lost 14 points away.

全场比赛，李坝14投中9，16罚中8，拿下26分15篮板4助攻3抢断7封盖3犯规3失误。

Although he got such a luxurious all-round statistic, Li Ba felt that this was a game that disappointed him very much.

Without victory, no matter how good the data is, it will not be recognized. The media will only think that it is fake.

"Hammer, you performed well today, do you want to say something?" After the game, Barkley invited Li Ba to the live broadcast booth and asked.

"Me? Average, I took too many shots today, made three turnovers and wasted a lot of possessions," Li Ba said.

"What do you want to say about your free throw?" Barkley said with a smile.

"Oh, Charles, I know you want to laugh at me. It's okay. This is my weakness. Let's focus on it." Li Ba said indifferently.

He can guarantee that his free throw percentage will definitely increase. Now he has reached [-]% on the field, but he can only reach [-]% in training before. This is an improvement.

As long as he hits [-] to [-]% of his free throws, who dares to cut him again?

"So what do you want to say about today's loss?" Barkley continued to ask.

"I voted too much." Li Ba said.

Barkley was stunned, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, you only took 17 shots, which is acceptable as the team leader. The loss is not because of your self-blame. The Suns lost because one of the main scoring points was missing. .A team, you have to have at least three major scoring points, and your Joe Johnson is not up to the task.”

"Is that so?" Li Ba asked suspiciously.

"Rookie, don't add responsibility to yourself. You played one of the best performances of a rookie this year. Your performance today is very good."

Kenny Smith said at this time.

"So, it's not my problem?" Li Ba asked.

"Damn it, did you let go of your psychological burden so quickly?" Seeing Li Ba's relaxed expression, Barkley complained.

"Haha!" Li Ba laughed.

In this game, the Suns' record became 9 wins and 4 losses, with a 69% winning percentage, still in fourth place in the Western Conference.

After attending the press conference, the Suns returned to Phoenix overnight.

They will face the Mavericks back-to-back tomorrow, then the Warriors on the 28th, the Pacers on December 12st, and the Timberwolves on the 1rd, four consecutive home games.

Although there are four home games, today they lost to the Nuggets with an even worse record. If Marion can't come back immediately, the team doesn't have much confidence in the next game.

Li Ba noticed that Joe Johnson was not in a good mood until he returned to Phoenix.

Joe Johnson took 12 shots today, made a total of 4 shots and scored 10 points.

The embarrassing thing is that the 4 shots made were all fast breaks, and the other 8 shots were all missed. This is really a pity for the position of the starting shooting guard. Li Ba understands his mood very well.

Speaking psychologically, this is Joe Johnson's third season. Last season, he averaged 27.5 minutes per game and averaged 9.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks per game. Short of Marion.

马里昂的第三个赛季，场均38.4分钟，可是打出了场均19.1分9.9篮板2助攻1.8抢断1.1盖帽的准20+10的豪华数据。

Before breaking up at the airport, Li Ba patted Joe Johnson on the shoulder and said to him: "Joe, get ready, I will feed you with enough possessions."

Joe Johnson froze, his mouth opened wide.

"Last year, you averaged 9.7 shots per game, but this year it's only 11. This is too little. In the future, you will average no less than 15 shots per game. Of course, the shooting percentage must reach at least 40%."

Li Ba said another word, which directly made Joe Johnson smile.

"Boss, what about me?" Barbossa asked with a smile as he slipped up.

"You are a substitute, what do you ask me for?" Li Ba joked.

"Haha!" Everyone laughed.

Barbossa's expression suddenly became depressed.

Marbury next to him was a little envious, he didn't make his dream boss, but this rookie succeeded in only half a month, and now he is blatantly distributing the ball to the younger brother, it's really annoying to compare people to others!

It was almost three o'clock, and Li Ba drove back to the apartment. Although it was convenient to live alone, no one talked to him after returning home, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yuanyuan, are you asleep?" He called Gao Yuanyuan on the phone.

"Silly, you are so stupid, it's 3 o'clock in the morning, you called me and asked if I was asleep?" While yawning, Gao Yuanyuan said angrily.

"Ah? Haha! Hey, no, I managed to broadcast live across the United States, and you didn't watch it?" Li Ba responded dissatisfiedly.

"What time did you play? What time is it now?" Gao Yuanyuan said angrily.

Li Ba was stunned, and laughed, "Forget it. By the way, Yuanyuan, you see, I live in such a big place by myself. Do you want to move here?"

"No, can I not know who you are?" Gao Yuanyuan said immediately.

"Can I still be a bad person? You move here so I can protect you." Li Ba immediately complained.

"Come on, I'm afraid you'll steal it. Don't think I don't know. It's only been a month. Have there been fewer gossips about you in the Phoenix media?" Gao Yuanyuan teased.

"This is what they scribbled." Li Ba said in embarrassment.

"It's all scribbles?" Gao Yuanyuan continued to tease and laughed.

"Yes." Li Ba said without hesitation.

"Okay, I advise you, find a serious girlfriend." Gao Yuanyuan said.

"If you look for it, look for it. Without you, Gao Butcher, I can still eat pigs with hair?" Li Ba said angrily.

"Deadly, what did you call me?" Gao Yuanyuan screamed.

"Ah, I made a mistake, I made a mistake, haha, I'm going to sleep, good night, good night..." Li Ba hurriedly hung up the phone.

"You wait for me..."

Gao Yuanyuan's voice came from the phone, and he cut it off.

Putting down the phone, Li Ba felt somewhat regretful.

He knew that Gao Yuanyuan had a somewhat favorable impression of him, but the two really couldn't get together.

"Abandoning Gao Yuanyuan's crooked neck tree, should I find a big forest, or another crooked neck tree?"

This is a question that Li Ba thinks he needs to think about.
