NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 443 Must Break Them Up

After winning the Mosaic team, the Suns rushed to Los Angeles the next day. They will challenge the Clippers in an away game one day later, on January 1, and then return to home on the 8th to face the Pacers back-to-back.

"Oh, Hammer, I'm flying, I'm flying!"

"Scarlett, I'll let you fly for a day."

On January 1, a day of hand-to-hand combat took place in a villa in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

On the 8th, the Suns beat the Clippers away, and on the 9th they returned home.

At dinner time, Li Ba treated guests to O'Neal and Reggie Miller.

O'Neal was suspended for 25 games at the Palace of Auburn Hills, which was later reduced to 15 games. He returned on the 22nd of last month.

The current Pacers record is 16 wins and 15 losses, still in the ranks of the playoffs.

"Jermaine, how does it feel to fight with the fans? Some fans really deserve a beating. I support your actions." Li Ba asked with a smile.

"...It's not that good, it's a big loss." O'Neal Jr. tilted his head and said.

"Are Artest and Jackson here today, call them, and let's find a fight club?" Li Ba eagerly asked.

Miller next to him turned dark, and quickly stopped him: "Hammer, the game is important, the game is important."

"You are my friend, I won't fight with you." Jermaine O'Neal also said.

But he cursed secretly in his heart: "Think of me as stupid? How dare you beat a strong man with a single slap and a moderate concussion?"

"Well, I'm thinking about retiring immediately after winning the championship and going to fight for two years, or boxing, I have practiced."

Li Ba clenched his two big fists and said.

"Fighting doesn't make money, but boxing makes more money. You can try it." Miller immediately urged.

"I'll think about it. I'm definitely not going to pull my hips in baseball like Jordan did, and I won't come back until I win the world title.

Li Ba laughed.

In the evening, at 81:109, the Suns defeated the Pacers with an absolute advantage and won their 30th victory.

The next day, the Suns headed to Miami to challenge the Heat away.

"Hey, Shaq, come and pick me up with my little brother." At five o'clock in the afternoon, after settling in the hotel, Li Ba called O'Neill.

"Your little brother? Who? Why does my team have your little brother? Hammer, what do you want?" O'Neal roared on the phone.

"Shut up, you big vegetable bug. Where's Zako Kabakapa?" Li Ba asked after roaring.

"Sounds familiar, Zako Kabakapa, is he still there?"

O'Neill seemed to be asking the people next to him, and then replied: "He is gone, Hammer, your little brother has been traded long ago, to the Warriors."

"Going to the Warriors? Forget it, bring my other little brother and come pick me up." Li Ba shouted.

"Shet!"

O'Neill swears, I hid Kobe and hid in the East, why is this team full of your younger brothers?Did I go into the smithy?

"Say, who? Who? I'm going to trade him, tomorrow." He roared.

"A rookie named Dwayne Wade." Li Ba said with a smile.

"Damn, how could he be your little brother, you bluffing liar." O'Neill hung up after finishing speaking.

Half an hour later, O'Neal brought Wade to the hotel.

"Listen, Hammer, from now on, you are not allowed to say that Wade is your little brother, he is my little brother, do you hear me clearly?"

When we met, O'Neill said fiercely.

"You can fill yourself with Italian white truffles, and pair it with the best red wine in France. I want the best." Li Ba laughed.

"Oh!" O'Neill yelled strangely, pushed Wade beside Li Ba, and shouted, "Take your little brother away."

"Damn it, I shouldn't have come." Almost jumping up, Wade said furiously.

"Ha ha!"

O'Neal and Li Ba laughed.

The three had a meal, and the last treat was the reluctant Wade, who cost him nearly [-] dollars.

"I'm the one who pays, why can't I use AA?"

When paying the bill, he glanced at Li Ba and O'Neill, and he muttered, but no one paid attention to him.

"Mr. Wade, you forgot to fill in the tip amount." The waiter pointed to the bill and said, "15.00%, thank you!"

"What is 15.00%?"

After Wade counted, his heart ached. He vowed to score [-] points on Li Batou tomorrow night and fly at least three times to make his mood happy again.

He has improved a lot this season. In his rookie season, he was 16.2+4+4.5+1.1+0.4, the third scoring point in the team. This season is 24.1+5.2+6.8+1.6+1.1. He is the team's leading scorer, assists and steals Wang, but the number of turnovers is a bit high, reaching 4.2 times, one more than last season.

The improvement of his level has lifted his spirits, and he is more daring to challenge the strongest players in the same class like Li Ba and LeBron James.

The next night, the game began.

The game was broadcast live on CCTV.

Suns starters: Li Ba, Marion, Posey, Joe Johnson, Marbury.

Heat starters: O'Neal, Udonis Haslem, Eddie Jones, Wade, Damon Jones.

"Pat, have you envisioned a championship this season?"

"Why not?"

"Well, the last two years on the Shaq?"

After playing, Li Ba greeted Pat Riley on the Heat bench, hugged and chatted a few words.

"I can play for more than two years. You guy, speak ill of me behind my back?" O'Neill came out from behind and shouted dissatisfied.

"Haha, if the Spurs can kill us, you have a chance. If we kill the Spurs, you have no chance."

Li Ba laughed loudly.

"Not always."

O'Neill and Wade stood up and shouted at the same time.

"Wait and see."

Li Ba chuckled, turned and left.

"Ugh."

Looking at the background of Li Ba, Riley sighed in his heart.

To be honest, in the past two years, he is really not afraid of meeting the Spurs, but the Suns are just like another Spurs with excellent offense and defense, and the defensive end is even more terrifying.

"Rebounds? Blocks? Steals?" Thinking of these three statistics, his heart sank.

This season, these three stat champions are once again dominated by the Hammers. With the Hammers' stable performance, the probability of winning again is almost certain.

Not only that, Li Ba ranks first in the league in terms of defensive efficiency and defensive plus/minus.

In terms of specific data, such as the scoring index of the opposing player, the turnover rate of the opposing player, the singles index of the opposing player, etc., Li Ba ranks first in the league.

In terms of pick-and-roll defense index, Li Ba is also in the top ten in the league, only in the three-point index of defense against pullers, not very good.

When these data are reflected in the game, the Suns have the highest record in the league this season.

This season, the Suns suppressed the opponent's scoring ability, ranked first in the league, with 85.2 points, and suppressed the opponent's team's shooting percentage first, only 40.3%.

In Riley's view, the Suns' defense is stronger than that of the Spurs.

Moreover, this team's defensive system has just been built.

"Regardless of the outcome of this season, they must be broken up."

He made up his mind that if the Heat can't do it alone, they will team up with other teams that are aspiring to win the championship.
