NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 26 Still on the 12-man roster

Frank breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to defend the hammer too much, that kid was too hot-tempered, so he had to suppress it.But it's not D'Antoni's turn to make a shot, he is the head coach, and he has to make a shot if he wants to suppress the hammer.

When D'Antoni heard it, he still planned to use Li Ba?

Colangelo saw D'Antoni's reaction, but he had his own views and plans.

The latter has introduced him to the running and bombing style many times, so he knows that D'Antoni doesn't like defensive players like Li Ba very much.

The team has now formulated a development strategy. If the record does not improve this season, it will change players. D'Antoni will replace Frank, and the team's style of play will also change.But there is no change of general yet, so he still has to support Frank.

And there is another point, he is an old man in the league, and he is used to the traditional style of play. If his record improves, he will not change his style of play.

For players like Li Ba, he has a different attitude from D'Antoni.He likes a tough defensive attitude, and the league has been like that for so many years.

So, to be honest, he didn't want to take too much aim at Li Ba for what happened in the locker room. Amare's defensive attitude was indeed a little softer.

During training in the afternoon, Li Ba practiced defensive skills with defensive coach Rocky.

"Tie Hammer, your inside skills are good enough. What you need now is real combat."

After practicing for half an hour, Rocky signaled to take a break, because he couldn't bear it anymore.

"I think so too." Li Ba said without any humility.

That's what he thinks. The three years in college are mainly for defense, and because of countless fly-catching trainings, he has good blocking and stealing skills. He practiced with personal trainers Boris and Rocky for another three months, and then With strength and weight, wingspan and a pair of giant hands, he is confident that he can provide energy for the team on the defensive end.

The most important thing is that defense does not depend on talent, but on attitude, and he has a defensive attitude, which is the most important quality of a defensive player.

Playing the Spurs, he focused on the opponent's defensive expert Bowen.There is no extraordinary talent, except for some small moves, it is an excellent defensive attitude.As long as he can play, he can do that too.

"Hammer, be humble, just like your compatriot Yao." Rocky said with a headache.

He is optimistic about Li Ba's defensive ability. As a defensive coach, he hopes to teach a well-known defensive player, so that his value can be reflected and he can earn more money, so he is very concerned about Li Ba's career in the Suns. matter.

"I'm very humble. If I'm not humble, I'll go one-on-one with No. 1 right now. Give him two elbows, and my defense will make him [-]-for-[-]." Li Ba laughed.

Shaking his head, Rocky stopped talking.

He was really afraid that if Li Ba singled out Amare, then things might become a big mess.But when things get serious, it will only affect Li Ba, not Amare.One who has proved himself as the best rookie, and one who is not drafted, who will the Suns choose?

That night, Li Ba watched the Raptors game with Chen Hong at home.In the end, Bosh scored 11 points and 4 rebounds, which was not very good.

"Tomorrow is the Mosaic team's game at [-] o'clock, let's inquire about the result." Before going to sleep, Li Ba said to Chen Hong.

At 10:30 p.m. the next day, the team will usher in the first home game of the season, the Suns against the Cavaliers.

In this game, Li Ba was still included in the 12-man squad, which means he is eligible to play.

In this game, Cavaliers owner Gilbert Sr. also arrived, accompanied by Suns general manager Colangelo, and watched the game in the VIP room.

This year, the Cavaliers drew the lottery with the lowest record in the league, and successfully won the No. 25 lottery with a [-]% chance, and got the Little Emperor.The guy who was nationally famous in high school, made headlines in the sports media many times, is now in the NBA, and of course continues to be popular.

The Cavaliers have also benefited greatly from it. The first is that the number of national live broadcasts has increased several times.

This game is the second game of the season for the Cavaliers, and it is also the first back-to-back game. TNT TV has the opportunity to broadcast nationally.

昨天他们客场输给了国王，输了14分。勒布朗首发出场42分钟，20投12中，拿下25分9助攻6篮板4抢断的全能豪华数据，震惊了联盟。

Compared with the luxurious data of his first NBA game, Wade's data of 18 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds the day before seemed bleak.Among all the rookies, only the news about Li Ba making a big fuss in the locker room can be distinguished from the little emperor's luxurious data.

At ten o'clock in the evening, at the Toyota Center in Houston, a large group of reporters jammed outside the locker room of the home team, including more than a dozen Chinese media reporters, as well as more than [-] camera reporters and assistants.

Today is the first game of Yao Ming's second NBA season, and his performance is still stable. He gave these domestic reporters a shot, and now he is very excited.

"It's a pity that the bus didn't make it into the squad. I don't know if that hammer named Li Ba will be able to play tonight. Do you want to watch it?"

A domestic reporter asked a colleague.

"There's still half an hour left, let's take a look if you have time, but I heard that it's not a professional background, so I don't think there's much hope for it." Someone said.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think of Li Ba?" Yang Yi asked Zhang Lili, the oldest person here.

"After the Mosaic team's press conference is over, I definitely want to watch it." Zhang Lili said first, and then said: "As for this Li Ba, he has a bad temper and is a bit domineering. He made a big fuss in the locker room when he first entered the NBA. It's a taboo in the locker room, and I'm a little worried for him."

"Why don't we find a place to watch together?" Yang Yi suggested to the crowd.

"Yes. By the way, Lao Lin, isn't there a reporter from your Sports Weekly following him? Any news, can you play tonight?" someone asked.

"I asked Chen Hong, and he said that he was included in the 12-man squad, but I just don't know if he can play." That said.

At the same time, a group of substitutes from Li Ba started to warm up.

"Hush!!!!!!!!!"

When the substitute entered the field, the 2-person American West Arena suddenly burst into violent boos.

These substitutes reacted quickly, knowing who the fans were booing, they immediately left Li Ba's side.

"what!"

Seeing those fans who booed him, nearly 2 people, at least [-]% of them were booing him, Li Ba gave a strange laugh to the auditorium, did not make any reaction, and ran directly to the stadium.

He will not have conflicts with these fans. Bill Duffy has repeatedly warned him that even if he fights with the players, don’t quarrel with the fans. Those are the parents of the NBA. Once that happens, the league will punish him. Very harsh.

"It's a bit unfair for the audience to target a rookie like this. Don't forget that Amare is also a second-year rookie. It's not a big deal for a first-year and second-year to say a few words and quarrel in the locker room." At this time, Barkley shook his head in the TNT live broadcast.

He is a star of the Suns, and he is qualified to say that, but he doesn't care about the feelings of these fans.

"What the Hammers need most now is performance. Without performance, there will be no fairness." Kenny Smith said.
