NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 135 Hitting the Old Driver

Li Ba didn't get up until ten o'clock the next day.

He turned on the computer that Duffy had prepared for him, and looked at some reactions about last night's game.

"Li Ba, an underrated top defensive center!"

ESPN columnist Bill Simon published an op-ed on this topic.

He said: "On the defensive end, Li Ba is called a flood dam, and any offensive flood will be choked by him. On the offensive end, he is called a hammer. Just last night in a regular season , Hammer blasted the inside group that the Nuggets are proud of with his low-post strong hit and Ba's lob hammer, and scored a very luxurious stat..."

"The future super center, he is taking shape!"

The well-known basketball commentator Christine Laidlow, who has always spoken for Li Ba, also published a new commentary.

He said in it: "Last night's game, from the performance of the Hammers, I saw a lot of things. The strong ability to hit the low post, the incredible ability to eat cakes, the ability to grab the rebounds of the two defensive insiders, and block everything. The ability and so on. The Hammers are gradually increasing his dominance in the low post, both offensive and defensive. And who was the last center to perform like this? Figure for yourself."

"Flood control dam, ridiculous nickname!"

Basketball commentator Craig Sager also contributed.

He said: "Just last night in a regular season, the Nuggets made a joke of the so-called top defense of the league's new villain with outside shooting... He has no defensive ability to attack from the outside and can only watch his own basket. The basket was shot through again and again. Then he also created a so-called luxurious data..."

After reading Sager's article, Li Ba laughed and said to himself: "Sure enough, I am a brush! Well, one day, I will become a brush. Isn't Jordan like that? Admiral is not Is that so? Every super giant is a big brush, haha!"

He browsed through the other comments, and for his one, which was named by Smith, Ba's empty pick-up, the response was quite enthusiastic.

Not long after, Bill Duffy called and gave him some news.

"Hammer, you played very well last night. Nike and Adidas are watching you closely. So, Hammer, you need consistent performance. If you can, take more shots to get points. Pure defensive players rarely get it. Signed sneaker contracts, you can't become a real superstar." Duffy said.

"I know this, but Bill, my foothold is the defensive end, which is what I am best at. But I will come according to the situation, and get good data on the basis of the team's victory, which is what I want to do Things." Li Ba said.

"Okay, I see. In addition, several shoe manufacturers in China have sent people here, at the president or vice president level. They may contact you. If so, let me know." Duffy said.

"Of course." Li Ba said.

In the evening, the American West Arena ushered in the Dallas Mavericks.

The Suns belong to the Pacific Division, and the Mavericks belong to the Southwest Division. The two teams have three regular season games to play each season, and this is the first one tonight.

上赛季，小牛老大司机同志拿下了25.1分9.9个篮板3助攻1.4抢断1盖帽的准20+10的场均数据，将小牛带到了西部第三的排名。

This season, he has also maintained such a performance, and the Mavericks are still third in the West.

Tonight's game, Frank didn't say anything in the locker room.

"Relax and fight." That's all he said.

Marion sprained his ankle, but it was not serious. According to the advice given by the team doctor, the game should be suspended for two games.

Plus it was back to back, this game, he gave up.

There is no nationwide live broadcast of this game, only regional live broadcast, but there are quite a lot of media, and the bottom line on both sides is full.

Li Ba received the warmest cheers when he started the game.

The team's ranking is good, and the fans' recognition of Li Ba, who is the boss, is now good. The impression of Stoudemire is getting farther and farther away from Phoenix.

Li Ba walked past the Mavericks' bench and greeted Dirk Nowitzki drinking water there.

"Hey Dirk, do you have time to pick up girls?"

"Pfft! Cough-cough-cough..."

Dirk Nowitzki sprayed all his water on the face of Steve Nash opposite him, coughing like he was dying.

"Damn it, Dirk, be careful!" After yelling, Nash went looking for a towel in a panic.

"Hahaha..." The fans behind the bench suddenly laughed.

"I always feel that the undrafted boss of our family is unreliable!" A fan laughed and murmured while shaking his head.

"Is there something wrong with my words?" Li Ba asked puzzled.

Dirk Nowitzki smiled awkwardly after coughing: "Hey, Hammer, no, no problem, can we talk about this in private?"

"Let's talk in private? Oh, I get it, haha, you are a sullen type." Li Ba suddenly realized.

"Haha..." The Mavericks bench burst into laughter.

"..."

Dirk Novus has a dark face, why am I so sullen?

"Hey, Don, I wish you a good night!" Before leaving, Li Ba greeted Mavericks coach Don Nelson.

"Thank you, kid!" Old Nelson nodded with a smile.

Mavericks starting tonight is the combination of guards Steve Nash and Michael Finley, the inside combination is Antawn Walker and Dirk Nowitzki, and one is Danny Fortson.

The Mavericks didn't have a center today.

Or, 213CM Dirk playing center.

Walker and Fortson are only 203CM and 201CM.

But this starting lineup is still strong.

Not to mention the driver, Antoine Walker was originally the Celtics twin star partnered with Paul Pierce, the No. 96 gold show of the [-] golden generation, and the fat head Tuo, who is famous for his hip dance, was traded to the Mavericks this season.

上赛季，他场均41.5分钟和19.9次出手，拿到了20.1分7.2篮板4.8助攻1.5抢断0.4盖帽3.3失误2.8犯规的数据，表现高能。

In the Mavericks this season, the playing time and the number of shots have decreased, and the performance has declined.

Danny Fortson, the No. 97 pick in the first round of 10, was also traded from the Warriors to the Mavericks this season.

Michael Finley, who partnered with Nash, was the No. 95 pick in the first round of the Suns in 21. This is his seventh season with the Mavericks. He was the captain and boss before Dirk Nowitzki and the leader of the locker room.

上赛季场均38.3分钟和17.3次出手，拿下了19.3分5.8篮板3助攻1.1抢断0.3盖帽1.7失误1.5犯规的数据，表现依然非常不错。

Nash, like Finley, is also a rookie of the Suns. He was the No. 96 pick in the first round of the 15 Golden Generation. He started 82 games with the Mavericks last year, averaging 33.1 shots in 13.6 minutes per game, scoring 17.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1 steal and 0.1 Blocked 2.3 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. In addition to the slightly higher assist-to-turnover ratio, he performed well.

The Suns started today, because Frank gave up. He put Kaba Kappa on the starting [-]th position. He made the rookie happy and shouted that he would treat him tonight.

At the start of the game, Li Ba and Dirk Nowitzki jumped the ball.

"Dirk, I bounced more than one meter in place, so you don't want to jump. I know you're a floor runner. Save some energy."

When preparing for the jump ball, Li Ba didn't go to watch the ball and said to Dirk Nowis.

"one meter?"

Dirk Nowitzki looked at Li Ba, his eyes widened, and his face was full of envy.

At this time, the basketball went up to the sky, Li Ba jumped up, and Dirk Novis remained below.

"Snapped!"

Li Ba shot the basketball towards Marbury, and then rushed to the frontcourt.

Joe Johnson sprinted like a bull, head-to-head from the left flank.

Mavericks Nash and Finley followed.

Marbury squeezed past Nash to the basket, glanced back, and tossed the basketball behind his head.

Joe Johnson weighed 109kg, 11kg heavier than Finley, squeezed Finley aside like a tank, and then jumped up, grabbing the basketball tumbling in the air with both hands.

"boom!"

The Mavericks' rim was blown up for the first time in the game.

"Aww!!!!" Cheers rang out from the Meixi Arena.

"Oh, Joe Johnson bombed the Mavericks' rim with an alley-oop dunk!" The Suns' on-site commentator roared loudly.

When Li Ba returned to defense, Dirk Nowitzki ran over and complained to him: "Hammer, you bully honest people."

"Hahaha... Don't worry, I'll take you to pick up girls tonight." Li Ba laughed triumphantly.

"..."

Dirk Nowitzki opened his mouth and didn't bother to pay attention to Li Ba.
