Chapter 897
On February 2st, the league announced the best of the month in January, which was won by Kobe.

The lack of this honor should be due to Li Ba's truce for a few games, but he is in a good mood. This month, Apple's stock has soared continuously. In almost a month, the stock price doubled, and his investment was successful.

On the 4th, the Suns arrived in Denver.

The team's record remains first in the Pacific and second in the Western Conference, leading the Lakers by one game with 38 wins and 9 losses.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Iverson called Li Ba and invited him to dinner.

"Allen, how are you doing in the Nuggets?"

After arriving at the reserved western restaurant and sitting down, Li Ba asked casually.

"Alright." Iverson laughed.

"Kenyon Martin was reimbursed after two games. Your substitute lineup is in trouble." Li Ba said.

Iverson shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that he is prone to injury."

Li Ba smiled and said: "It's okay, you can go to my place after your contract is over, don't worry about not getting the ring. Look at Gary, he said that if the dynasty defends the title this season, he wants to play for another year next year. My God, he will Soon to be a grandfather."

"Haha..." Iverson shook his head and laughed.

Li Ba smiled and said: "The last transaction was unsuccessful. Unfortunately, we don't have the leverage to trade you, and the lineup will be completely dismantled."

Nodding, Iverson said: "I understand, you have to replace me with half of the lineup, which is really impossible."

"How is the cooperation with Anthony? This season the Golden Spears are very famous, and the Nuggets market is developing well." Li Ba said.

Iverson said: "It's okay, that is, we..."

Having said that, he didn't know what to say.

Li Ba said: "Isn't it possible to cooperate? I understand that. Both of you are core players who need the ball, but you are both outsiders. If the inner and outer cores can also play tactical cooperation, the two outer cores must be in conflict. .”

Iverson nodded and said: "Yes, that's it. I didn't estimate this situation before I came here. This, this is a bit bad."

Li Ba nodded and said: "It's really bad. This is your peak period. After three years, the contract will end. Let me tell you something you don't like to hear. By then you will be on the decline. It is very difficult to win the championship as the outside core or even the main player.”

Iverson sighed, a little sadly.

On the evening of the 5rd, the game began.

Announced before the game.

Suns: Lee Ba, Marion, Battier, Tony Allen, Rondo.

Nuggets: Camby, Nene, Anthony, Iverson, Steve Blake.

Li Ba came back, this time Ginobili entered the injured list.

Starting off, the two met at the exit.

Li Ba and Iverson fist bumped, and then took the initiative to bump fists with other Nuggets players. This was the best friendship before the game. After walking out of here, they were opponents.

I feel a little regretful in my heart. He had hoped to go to the Suns during the offseason, but unfortunately the team didn't let him go.

Anthony is also in a complicated mood. He is also a rookie in 03 and a player of Bill Duffy. Now the gap between him and Li Ba is getting farther and farther.

In order to manage Li Ba's business, Bill Duffy even moved his agency to Phoenix, but as the player with the highest pick in Bill Duffy's hands, he rarely sees him now.

"Dynasty! Dynasty! Dynasty..."

Before playing, in the Pepsi Center Arena, the Suns roared passionately.

The Nuggets commentator said enviously: "They have been shouting for half a season, and they will keep shouting until the end of this season, but if they can't win the championship in the end, I wonder if they will shout any slogans next season?"

With the jump ball, Li Ba beat Nene.

Nene is also a person who has been seriously injured. He is better than Stoudemire. He has not been injured so many times, but now he is not as jumping and jumping as before.

The Suns attacked, pulled away, and Li Ba singled out Camby.

But today's lineup has two people who can't be separated. Rondo and Tony Allen have nothing to shoot, so Iverson, who is facing Tony Allen, didn't follow him, but went to double-team... Rondo.

But Rondo reacted quickly. When he saw Iverson coming, he immediately retreated. After keeping the distance with Steve Blake, he passed the ball in.

Li Ba easily caught Camby under the basket. The latter was only 100 kilograms, and his strength was far inferior to him.

As soon as the ball hit his head, he pressed Camby with his left hand, and suddenly jumped up. He grabbed it with one hand with his right hand, and then smashed it back. With a bang, he dunked the ball and smashed it into the basket.

Camby jumped a bit, out of rhythm.

"The current speed of the hammer is really too fast. Few people in the alliance can keep up with his rhythm." Yu Jia laughed.

Zhang Lili said: "Playing against the Lakers, Grizzlies, Mavericks and Heat, Garnett's bullet speed can keep up with the Hammer, right? Insiders like Duncan, Dayao, and O'Neal can't keep up with the Hammer. Rhythm, you have to foul early."

Nuggets offense.

Blake advances upfield and two men ask him for the ball.

Seeing Iverson and Anthony reaching out for the ball at the same time, this means that the season is over, and the Nuggets have not yet solved the problem of possession of the ball. Li Ba wanted to laugh.

Blake gave Anthony on the left wing.

Li Ba is well aware of Anthony's assist awareness and ability. In the past three seasons, his assists have been 2.7 times.

This is a little less for those who control a lot of ball power, far inferior to Kobe, and even worse than Iverson and Marbury.

For the core of the team who controls the ball, too few assists shows that he does not have the ability to drive the whole team.

As soon as Anthony received the ball, Li Ba stared at him and was ready to help defend.

The Nuggets, like the Heat, Lakers, and Mavericks, also put Nene and Camby under the basket on the offensive end today.

Of course, they were originally born in the basket, and their mid-range shooting ability is not good, and their shots are all in the paint.

But the style of play is still different from usual. Nene, who is more mobile, intends to block Li Ba.

Camby is also, in cooperation with Nene, also deliberately blocking the route between Li Ba and the strong side, so as to prevent Li Ba from helping to defend the outside line.

As soon as Anthony catches the ball, he immediately turns around and starts hitting Battier with his back.

He is three steps away from the paint at this time, his two-point shooting percentage is not good, only 33%, he has to be close to the paint.

He took a step, he had already thought about it, first leaned on it, then turned around immediately, and made a sudden stop after approaching the paint area for a jumper.

Be quick because Marion is coming to double-team him.

As long as his movements are fast enough, it only takes one second to complete all the movements, and he can avoid being double-teamed, while Camby and Nene at the basket will restrict Li Ba's activities, and he will not be defended by Li Ba.

As soon as Anthony turned around and hit Battier, Li Ba immediately started, moved his left foot, moved upward (left), and took a step forward (left wing) with his right foot, bypassing Nene in front, and at the same time Taking advantage of the situation, he pressed Nene, who wanted to chase him.

This time, Nene was stopped, and could only watch Li Ba rushing towards Anthony.
