NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 476 Double Twenty

Pushing upfield, Boozer catches the ball on the right wing, backs Marion, and turns for a jumper.

The moment Boozer shot, Li Ba took a step around and rushed to the paint.

Kirilenko tried his best to stop it, but he was powerless. How could he deal with Li Ba and Posey alone?

With a flick of Li Ba's unusually thick arm, he opened Kirilenko's thin arm and stepped into the paint area.

"boom!"

The basketball bounced off the rim and was caught by Li Ba.

The sun was about to set again, and Marbury was a lot faster than Lopez, while Lagabel was entangled by Joe Johnson, who was stronger than him, and he had no time to chase Marbury.

61:68, the Suns lead by 7 points.

Jerry Sloan was very disappointed. He felt that this lineup was too restrained facing the Suns.

You need a stronger, faster, better defensive point guard, and you need a stronger insider who can even handle the hammer and pull out to shoot, so it's perfect.

Jazz attack.

Lopez breaks through.

Li Ba once again used Posey's wall to defend the basket.

This time Lopez passed to Okur again, and the latter made a decisive shot in the face of Posey's supplementary defense.

However, he missed a three-pointer and the rebound was grabbed by Li Ba.

"Ugh!"

Jerry Sloan sighed.

The defensive end couldn't stop the Suns from going down quickly, let alone the Suns' strong play at the basket, and the tactics of pulling out on the offensive end were also cracked.

Although Okur has space, but the sun's defense is too fast, the hit rate can not be high.

The rebounds were controlled by the hammer returning to the paint.

This ball, he felt difficult.

By the end of the third quarter, after Okur and Boozer committed four consecutive fouls and Kirilenko five, the game was basically a foregone conclusion.

91:100, at the end, the Suns won by 9 points at home.

李坝上场36分钟，13投11中，10罚5中，拿下了27分20篮板3助攻3抢断5盖帽1失误1犯规的数据。

The most important thing is that he got two caps from Kirilenko this time. This is also the first time he was capped twice by one person in one game.

This shows that his strong play at the basket is flawed. Knowing that he will dunk directly, it will be easier to block the shot.

As the best player in the field, he was interviewed on the spot.

"Hammer, congratulations on winning the Double Twenty. But you scored 27 points today, will you increase your offensive investment in the future?" Zhang Lili asked.

"Depending on the situation, if it is absolutely necessary to cause damage, then it must be played. If it is not absolutely necessary, then it will not be. Today's physical energy consumption is relatively high, this is not a regular style of play, and it is impossible for me to play like this every game." Li Ba said .

His physical difficulty today is that he is constantly moving back and forth between the paint area and the left wing, and he has to go at full speed every time, which is a test of the endurance of the calf muscles, including the healer.

"Iron Hammer, the All-Stars are coming soon. The league has announced the roster for the three-point contest. I saw your and O'Neal's names. Are you serious? Have you made a bet?"

A local reporter asked with a grin.

"Oh, no, we just want to try some things that we can't do in the competition." Li Ba laughed.

"How many shots are you sure to hit?" the reporter asked.

Li Ba giggled and bragged, "I'm sure more than O'Neal."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

At dinner time on the 16th, Li Ba treated Dirk Nowitzki to dinner.

The Suns will face the Mavericks on the 17th, which is also the last game before the All-Star Game.

This season, the Mavericks have 34 wins and 16 losses, which is worse than the Suns' 43 wins and 9 losses. They are third in the regular season in the Western Conference and second in the Southwest Division, after the Spurs.

If this ranking is maintained, the Mavericks will be ranked 4th in the playoffs and 5th in the game.

If the Mavericks can surpass the Spurs in winning percentage, they will rank second in the playoffs and play against seventh.

But the Spurs are currently 40 wins and 13 losses, second in the regular season in the Western Conference, so the Mavericks have little hope of catching up.

"Dirk, do you want me to arrange it for you? Just call the middleman. It's not a nightclub product, it's the top of Phoenix, or even a taxi from other cities. They will deliver it to your door. We will wait at the hotel Just do it."

After dinner and the two got into the car, Li Ba smiled authentically.

"This... I have faith." Nowitzki didn't have a girlfriend yet, and felt a little itchy.

"So your desire has been castrated?" Li Ba asked in surprise.

"Damn it, Hammer, how can you say that? You hit it, I want two." The old driver said angrily.

"Haha..." Li Ba laughed loudly.

On the evening of the 17th, the Suns played against the Mavericks at home.

Before the game, the first release was announced.

Suns: Chandler, Lee Ba, Battier, Joe Johnson, Payton.

Mavericks: Dampier, Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Michael Finley, Jason Terry.

For the Suns, both Marbury and Marion took turns, entered the injured list, and lacked scoring ability, so they gave up the game.

The Mavericks are still very strong, but they are in a different division from the Suns, and there is no direct competition in the playoff rankings, so giving up this game will not affect the Suns.

The game will be broadcast live on TNT with commentary by Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.

"What I want to know most now is, Eric Dampier, will he make a shot against the Hammers tonight?" Barkley laughed.

"Well, ahem, Charles, as a center second only to O'Neal, do you think he won't make a shot?" Smith asked in surprise.

The two were joking, and Dampier, who was sitting in the visiting team's locker room, was on fire.

He stood up and yelled at his teammates: "I don't shoot because I want to control the rebound. That's the most important thing, isn't it? They can't say that..."

"Okay, Eric, they're joking, don't take it to heart."

Nowitzki came over and patted Dampier on the shoulder, and warned: "You still focus on rebound control this time, we need your rebounds."

"Of course, Dirk, leave it to me, that's what I should do." Dampier patted his chest and assured.

"Dirk, you asked for leave last night, what did you do?" Terry asked quietly.

"Uh, Jason, I'm off to work." Nowitzki hesitated.

"Come on, the hammer picked you up, what business can he have at night? Who doesn't know him?" Terry sneered.

"..."

Nowitzki choked, and said helplessly:

"It's really serious. He invited me to visit his fly training room. I was very inspired. I plan to do some special training during the offseason. I have some ideas. I want to make some changes in the way I shoot."

"Really?" Terry asked suspiciously.

"Really." Nodding, Nowitzki said.

"Then what is this?"

Terry took out something and handed it over.

"..."

Nowitzki saw it, what the hell, it was actually a TT, and quickly said, "What are you doing for me?"

"I'll give it back to you as it fell out of your pocket just now." Terry said with a smirk.

"Damn."

Being caught straight, Nowitzki blushed.

"It's almost time to play, what are you mumbling about?" Finley asked at this time.

"It's nothing, we're talking about the game, and Jason said he's going to pass me two good balls." Nowitzki said hastily.

"Oh."

Finley hummed and went out.

"Remember to call me next time you go out to play." Terry said.

"Of course."

Nowitzki nodded quickly, and put the TT away in embarrassment.
