NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 872
Li Ba ignored the reporter, took out his mobile phone and called Kupchak.

Kupchak also thought a lot about Artest's affairs and thought of some bad ideas.

He found Jermaine and persuaded him to intercede with Li Ba for Artest.

He didn't find Li Ba's friends like Kobe and Yao because he didn't want to damage the relationship between the Lakers and Li Ba.

Then I found a reporter to test Li Ba's attitude, and now I'm waiting for the result.

At this time, the phone rang, and when he saw the call from Iron Hammer, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

He was waiting for the reporter's call, but now Li Ba called, what did he want to say?

"Hey Hammer, how are you? Nice to hear from you."

"Mitch, tell me, don't think I'm a fool. You've fucked Pat Riley once, don't do it a second time."

Kupchak suddenly became embarrassed, and said falteringly: "Hammer, this is true, Hammer, we..."

He couldn't continue, because he wanted to keep Artest, didn't he just want to deal with Li Ba?
Li Ba said impatiently: "Now your people are in front of me. Let me tell you this. I don't care if you have Artest. If you want to keep him, it's fine. But don't let people say anything outside. Without my nod, no team would dare to accept his nonsense, would anyone believe it? Anyway, I wouldn’t believe it.”

"Hammer, what request do you have?" Kupsk asked quickly with joy in his heart.

Li Ba said coldly: "It's just Artest. Is he worthy of my request? That's it. If you want to do similar things in the future, don't ask anyone else, call me yourself."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Kupchak was embarrassed again, but it can be considered complete if he can solve this matter and keep Artest.

The Lakers don't have to keep this guy, but they really can't find anyone better than him.

Before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Bucks: Bogut, Ruben Patterson, Charlie Bell, Michael Reed, Maurice Williams.

Li Ba: Li Ba, Marion, Tony Allen, Ginobili, Rondo.

Rondo's performance is not bad. Frank and the management have decided to train him to become the main player of the Suns, so he is officially put on the starting lineup and needs to use the regular season to hone him.

At the same time, Battier also removed his neck circumference and sat on the bench, but he has not officially come back. According to the doctor's advice, he still needs to wait for a week.

In the TNT live broadcast seat, after getting the list, Barkley smiled and said: "The Bucks' starting lineup is very interesting. Except for Bogut, they are all small, two guards, two swingmen, and the second height is only 196 cm. , one big, four small, one inside and four outside, this is because I don’t want to enter the paint, and all play outside.”

"If you want to get in, you can't get in. It's better to fight for the feel outside, shoot all the stars, and feel better, just throw the sun to death."

Ken Smith laughed.

Barkley said with a smile: "Okay, just kidding, the Bucks still arranged for a guy to attack the paint area. He is a guy who dares to compete with Kobe."

Kenny Smith said: "Ruben Patterson, No. 98 pick in the second round of 2, swingman, 196 cm, 105 kg, former Lakers player, self-proclaimed Kobe Terminator, [-]% of his offenses occurred in In the paint area, the overall shooting percentage of his career is more than [-]%."

Starting the game, Li Ba led his team to the exit to meet the Bucks.

"Hey, Hammer." Reid greeted proactively.

"Michael, welcome to Phoenix." Li Ba smiled and stretched out his fist.

"Thank you!" Reed stretched out his fist and touched it.

Li Ba looked at the opponent's lineup and asked with a smile: "How do you want to fight? Do you want to kill us?"

Reed laughed when he heard the words, and said, "If it's possible, that's it."

"Humph!"

Someone snorted dissatisfiedly.

Li Ba took a look and didn't recognize him, but judging by his height, he should be the Patterson on the list.

But he ignored it, it was just a small role, and now in this alliance, only these guys would find a sense of presence in front of him.

At the start of the game, Li Ba and Bogut jumped the ball, and they stood together.

"If you dare to jump, I will hat you."

Before the referee dropped the ball, Li Ba spat some trash talk at Bogut.

This sentence made Bogut's heart tremble, and he immediately recalled what happened last season in his mind. The blood caps made him terrified.

At this moment, the ball was thrown up, and Li Ba jumped up and flicked the ball away.

Bogut didn't move at all, didn't react at all.

"Hahaha..." Zhang Lili covered his face with a smile.

"What is this, is the No. [-] pick sleepwalking?" Yu Jia complained after laughing.

Li Ba was not polite, and rushed past Bogut after landing.

Ruben Patterson was active in supplementing the defense and rushed to Li Ba's side.

He wants to show off today, just like defending against Kobe back then, if he can get the name of Hammer Terminator, it will be a big hit.

Li Ba easily carried Patterson to the basket.

Rondo has been playing for the Suns for a month, and he has more experience passing the ball to Li Ba. He has been paying attention to Li Ba's position, and then passed the ball in.

He still doesn't have much experience, the pass of the ball is a bit obvious, and the speed of the ball is a bit slow, and he doesn't pass the ball in a straight line.

As soon as he passed the ball, the rest of the Bucks returned to the basket and double-teamed Li Ba.

"Fuck!"

Seeing this scene, Yu Jia swears directly.

Including Bogut, all five Bucks players rushed around Li Ba and began to encircle him.

The obvious purpose of passing the ball, passing the ball too slowly, gave them time and opportunity to double-team.

Li Ba didn't expect the Bucks to turn into a Super Piston today, and even the Pistons had never defended him like this.

Now his back is facing the basket, one meter away from the basket, without any hesitation, his body suddenly exploded.

At this moment, except for Bogut, the small hands of the other four people were holding his jersey underneath.

But even so, it couldn't stop him from getting up.

"boom!"

The moment he hit the basket, the ball bounced off the basket and he missed.

"Special!"

After landing, Li Ba "saw" the ball fall, but he didn't dare to jump again. Some bastard ripped off his pants just now, and they almost fell off. If he pulled again, he would be at home today. Embarrassed in front of the fans.

The referee didn't even blow the whistle, and the four of them were wearing jerseys that were pulled close to each other. They couldn't see through them, and Li Ba didn't have any obvious fouls.

Bogut took the opportunity to grab the rebound and pass the ball to Michael Reed beside him.

But at this moment, Li Ba's big hand pressed over and slapped the ball directly on the floor, causing the scene to become chaotic.

The sun players outside also rushed up one after another, and the two sides immediately scrambled into a ball.

There were too many people, and Li Ba couldn't get in. He moved straight up and prepared to return to defense.

Sure enough, his preparation was correct, and the ball was picked up by Reid.

Seeing this, Li Ba immediately turned around.
