NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 380 The New Season

The Knicks traded with the Mavericks, sent the first-round picks for the next two seasons, and several substitute players to acquire Nash.

Then they brought in Quentin Richardson from the Clippers and Crawford from the Bulls.

"The Jazz will be very strong next season. They have introduced Boozer and the Pistons' backup center Okur. Also, Jackson of the Eagles has also been traded..."

Bill Duffy continued:

"In addition, I got news that your national teammate Battelle has been spotted by the Lakers. I heard that it will cost $300 million in three years."

"what?"

Li Ba was surprised, the bus was still in Beijing, so I hadn't heard of it.

"The contract hasn't been signed yet, but the news is confirmed. The teams in the league are frantically buying meat shields. You have to be careful next season."

Bill Duffy said.

After hanging up the phone, Li Ba dialed the bus.

"Big bus, why don't you tell me the good news?" He complained.

"You know? Hehe, haven't you signed the contract yet?" the bus laughed.

"I'll say hello to Kobe..." The two chatted for a while before hanging up.

On the 6th day, Li Ba, the men's basketball team, and all the gold medalists went to Hong Kong City, and held a performance with the Hong Kong performing arts circle at the Hong Kong City Stadium.

On the 9th, Li Ba returned to his hometown alone.

The family is going to build a new house, so he wants to go home and make arrangements.

Going home this time, wearing the Olympic halo, is more troublesome than the last time he went home. He was surrounded by crowds wherever he went, and he couldn't stay any longer.

In addition, the fly-catching training cannot be interrupted, so he decided to return to Beijing.

On the 15th, after bidding farewell to his parents, Li Ba drove to Changsha.

The next day, he arrived in Beijing with Liu Baile.

Based on the national team's defensive style of play, Liu Baile has been officially hired as the defensive coach of the national men's basketball team.

The Olympics also exposed the men's basketball team's lack of perimeter defense, which is one of the reasons why Liu Baile was hired.

Liu Baile's level is average, but his attitude is serious. If a player fails to make a move, he can chase and scold you until you vomit blood.

Li Ba is now imagining how the teammates of the national team will live under Liu Baile's hands in the future?You won't be scolded for depression, will you?

"Preseason? Sorry, I don't want to participate."

On the 16th, Li Ba received a call from the team management, and Colangelo made the call himself.

The league officials want to arrange four preseason games in China. The Mosaic team and the Suns are two of the teams, but the league is not sure whether Li Ba will participate, so ask the team in advance.

Li Ba really didn't have time, and he didn't want to delay his fly-catching training.

It was thought that the upgrade could be completed before the start of the season, but the delay of the Olympics is too much, and now it seems impossible to do it.

But he still wants to take advantage of the offseason and do more training.

Because of Li Ba's refusal, the league only arranged for the Mosaic team to play two preseason games in China.

On September 9, Li Ba returned to his hometown again, stayed for two days, and then left for Beijing. After meeting in Dazhi, the two went to the United States together.

At 24 pm on the 8th, when he landed in Los Angeles, Kobe came to pick him up.

"Four years from now I'll be the Olympic MVP."

After dinner at the hotel, before saying goodbye, Kobe said to Li Ba.

"Heh, Kobe, think about how to make it to the playoffs in the past few years. Without O'Neal inside, the Lakers are rookies."

Li Ba said disdainfully.

"Damn it, how dare you look down on me? I want to win the single-core championship." Kobe was livid with anger.

"Single-core? I haven't even thought about it, but you dare to think about it?" Li Ba said lazily.

"You wait for me. Hammer, one day, I will score [-] or [-] points on your head." Kobe gave Li Ba a hard look.

"What's so rare about 10 points? I scored almost [-] points in four or [-] minutes this time. Kobe, I look forward to the day you score [-] points." Li Ba laughed.

"On your head."

After Kobe finished speaking, he turned around and got in the car to leave.

The next day, Li Ba and Dazhi returned to Phoenix.

After returning home and soaking in the bathtub, Li Ba turned on the system.

Host: Li Ba

Occupation: Level 60 Flycatcher (There are nine levels in total, the next level is the upgrade condition, and the success rate of fly catching reaches [-]%)

Flycatcher's physical fitness: strength 95, stamina 97, nerve reaction speed 81, flexibility 74, explosive power 79, speed 79

Flycatcher Talent Skill: Level [-] Lock

Fly catching success rate: 54% success rate in the air, 54% success rate in the front, 48% success rate in the left and right flanks, 48% success rate in the rear wing, and 50.4% overall success rate.

After recent training, some data has changed.

Flexibility, explosive power, and speed have all increased by 1 point, and physical fitness has also increased a little, which is a good increase.

"Strength? Do you want to gain weight?" He hasn't decided yet.

Greater tonnage will definitely suppress his other qualities, such as speed.

Thinking of this, he asked: "System, if I gain weight, will the speed decrease?"

"If the host gains weight, it will affect the limit of the relevant quality. Before the limit has not appeared, as long as sufficient fly-catching training is maintained, the relevant quality will not decline." The system prompted.

"In this way, there are advantages and disadvantages."

In the end, he still couldn't make up his mind and put it on hold for now.

There has also been some improvement in the success rate of fly catching.

The success rate of the air, the front, and the flanks each increased by 2 percentage points. He specially strengthened the training of the rear wing, which increased the most, reaching 3 points, catching up with the success rate of the flanks.

The increase in the rear wing has enhanced his defense behind him a lot.

In the quarterfinals against the United States, the five consecutive blocks, the first cap given to James, and the one that blocked Duncan last, all benefited from the fly-catching training of the rear wing.

The next day, Li Ba continued his fly-catching training.

Bill Duffy had already arranged everything in the fly training room, he just needed to train.

Two days later, September 9th is the Suns' media open day for the new season.

"Wow, there are more than 100 people here, right?"

Driving to the outside of the headquarters, surrounded by a large number of media reporters, more than last season, including dozens of people from the Chinese media alone.

Seeing his car approaching, they all surrounded him.

"Hey, a lot of people! Friends, a new season is about to start, what do you expect from me? But unfortunately, I won't talk about it now, I will talk to you later."

Li Ba opened the car window, smiling authentically.

After a delay of one or two minutes at the gate, Li Ba entered the headquarters and went straight to the training ground.

He's already seen the roster, and it's almost here.

There are six inside players, including him and Marion, Tyson Chandler, Da Zhi, Antonio McDyess, and Jahidi White.

Up front, there are James Posey and Battier.

Back line, six people, Marbury and Payton, Joe Johnson, Barbosa, Tony Allen, Casey Jacobson.

These are all players with official contracts, a total of 14 players.
