NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 884 Battier's Provocation
At this time, the bus said: "Hammer, since yesterday, the domestic media has started to target you again, saying that you have been restricted, and other teams will follow suit. You are going to be over."

Li Ba said with a smile: "I have never cared about the reaction of the media, let them enjoy themselves. Now more than half of the domestic media following me, I am much more relaxed."

In the evening, the Suns had a collective Christmas Eve and held a party. Li Ba didn't feel this festival, so he went back to his room after staying for a while.

The next day, Christmas Eve, the big battle broke out.

Staples has been carefully arranged tonight, and the festive atmosphere is quite deep. The Lakers have prepared Christmas gifts for every fan.

A large number of Hollywood stars gathered in Staples and decorated the arena.

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

Suns: Li Ba, Marion, Battier, Ginobili, Rondo.

Lakers: Yao Min, Duncan, Artest, Kobe, Cassell.

Starting off, the two teams meet at the exit.

The sun is one step ahead.

Li Ba stared at the Lakers players approaching, and turned his head towards Battier.

Battier gritted his teeth and went straight up, blocking the Lakers.

Marion was also eager to try. He was punched in the head last time and was directly knocked down.

"Tie Hammer, what are you doing?" Dayao shouted anxiously.

Li Ba ignored Dayao and looked at Battier and Artest whom he was willing to block.

"What do you want?"

Artest glanced at Li Ba and asked Battier coldly.

Battier is a real honest man, but Artest cracked his neck bone with an elbow, and he was also angry. At this time, he raised his hand and patted his neck when he was elbowed last time, and said: "You Do you want to elbow again today?"

The face-to-face provocation made Artest's face change.

"If he dares to touch you again today, I will cripple him on the spot, and let him lie on the bed for the rest of his life, making it difficult for him to move a finger."

Li Ba's cold voice sounded from behind.

Artest's face twitched and he couldn't control it.

He seemed to feel the pain in the corner of his mouth that was slapped away by Li Ba, and he seemed to feel that his whole face was swollen again.

He still can't believe it, he can't even withstand a slap from Li Ba.

"Come to elbow me?"

Papa, Battier raised his chin, patted Artest on the neck continuously, and provocatively said in his mouth.

Except for what Dayao said just now, no one from the Lakers stood up.

Both Duncan and Kobe stepped aside, and Cassel even walked directly to the exit. None of these three people were bad rings, so they didn't want to be involved in this matter.

Dayao had a bitter face, but he and Artest had a normal relationship, had no personal contact, and couldn't say anything, so he also walked aside.

The status here, the staff immediately contacted the Lakers management after seeing it.

At this time, Kupchak ran over from the locker room, ignored Artest and Battier, and ran directly to Li Ba, panting:
"Hammer, I promise Ron won't mess around, we talked to him, and he agreed, he won't mess around."

This sentence exposed Artest's old background and made his face turn red.

Li Ba laughed, and said to Kupchak: "Mitch, the times are different now, the league is changing, and less such rubbish is in the team.

Look at our Suns, the strongest defensive team in the league, is there anyone with dirty defense?No, we have the cleanest defense in the league. "

Kupchak smiled bitterly: "Then let's trade with you next time. Tony Allen gives it to us, and we want Battier and Ginobili."

Li Ba scolded with a smile: "You just cheated on us with Pat Riley, and you still want to trade with us, so you can just dream it yourself."

Kupchak was suddenly embarrassed.

At this time, the team played and resolved his embarrassment.

After the Suns played, Kupchak told Artest very seriously: "Ron, don't look for death, you can't even handle him with a punch, and if you provoke him on the court, he will kill you directly, no Use the second punch. So play it safe, unless you don't want to make a lot of money in this league."

Artest's face turned red and white, ugly.

Ten minutes later, the game started.

"Dynasty! Dynasty! Dynasty..."

As usual, the Suns shouted the slogan and goals of this season at Staples.

With the jump ball, Li Ba beat Dayao, and the Suns attacked.

The Lakers retreated quickly, and Artest moved two steps laterally to block Li Ba's fast break.

Li Ba raised his left hand and slapped it. Artest's eyes shrank, and he couldn't help but pause.

Thus, Li Ba rushed past and rushed to the top of the arc.

"Ha ha……"

In the live broadcast of CCTV, Yu Jia noticed this scene, couldn't hold back, and laughed.

Duncan stayed behind and followed Li Ba, and the two rushed to the basket together.

As soon as Li Ba reached the basket, Rondo passed the ball in.

Duncan leaned on the left wing, passed the ball to the right, and passed it very accurately. He was caught by Li Ba's backhand with his right hand, and then he carried Duncan with his left hand.

Duncan tried his best to keep up with Li Ba's rising rhythm. After jumping up, he slapped Li Ba hard through Li Ba's body.

"boom!"

The next moment, Li Ba smashed the basket.

His bullet speed is too fast, Duncan is no longer a flying devil, how can he keep up with his rising speed?

The Lakers attack.

Barkley yelled: "Haha, I learned from the Heat Mavericks. Like ESPN said, Duncan and Artest went to the paint area, and Dayao is in the high position. Now let's see how the Suns deal with it."

Kenny Smith said: "With this tactic, the Lakers have more confidence than the Mavericks and the Heat. Duncan and Artest can limit the hammer, and Yao's shot height in the high position, the rest of the Suns have no way to defend."

In the paint area, four people poured in.

On the offensive end, Duncan and Artest entered the basket, and Li Ba and Battier followed up.

Li Ba couldn't switch defenses with Marion. He couldn't give the basket to Battier and Marion. If the two teamed up, they would be blown up by Duncan and Artest.

Moreover, Marion is not good at and does not like physical confrontation at all. It is useless to let him be at the basket, and he will be killed by Duncan and Artest.

As soon as he followed up to the basket, Duncan and Artest immediately blocked Li Ba on purpose, especially blocking the front of the basket, and Li Ba felt trapped in the quagmire again.

At this time, Dayao, who was in a high position, got the ball. Facing Marion's defense, he got up and shot a jumper, and hit a ball steadily.

After he took the shot, he immediately stepped back, and when he saw the ball entering the basket, he immediately turned around and returned to defense.

It's impossible for Li Ba to make a fast break. Duncan and Artest blocked him. Even if he can rush out, Dayao is still ahead.

Zhang Lili said at this time: "Dayao's high mid-range shots this season are even more accurate. He actually exceeded 53.2%, reaching 25%. This is too high. He averaged [-] points per game. He has entered his peak period."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Duncan attracts defense in the low post, and Kobe also attracts defense. He is rarely double-teamed. With his strength, except for the hammer, no matter who is singles, he is sure. He can't defend at all. The hit rate Definitely high."

Zhang Lili said: "After the Heat played this tactic, the Hammer's defense was limited, and the fast break was also limited. Pat Riley is really good. He dared to try various tactics, just like Popovich. It's a pity. , he made a wedding dress for the Lakers."
