NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 899 The Second Battle

The ball hit the backboard and was caught by Li Ba who just rushed into the paint. He turned around and went down quickly, and the Suns turned from defense to offense.

Nene and Camby were at the top of the arc behind, and they wanted to close the door to block Li Ba from rushing up, but Li Ba smashed the ball on the floor two meters in front of him, then accelerated to bypass the two, and finished broke through.

With nothing in front of him, Li Ba ran to the center line, caught up with the basketball, and caught it back with one hand.

At this time Iverson caught up from behind.

"Allen is really fast! But can he defend against the charge of the hammer?" Zhang Lili was surprised and puzzled.

Li Ba grabbed the ball back with his right hand, ran two steps, and dribbled the ball again.

He heard someone chasing up from behind, on the back right, so this time he dribbled the ball directly to the left and changed hands.

At this time, Iverson ate Li Ba raw with absolute speed, overtook him from the right, and chased after the basketball.

But as soon as Iverson overtook Li Ba, he realized that something was wrong. The ball went to the left, and he had to run to catch up with the ball. How could this be possible? He would be directly hit by Li Ba behind.

Li Ba took two steps to catch up with the ball, and caught it back with his left hand. At this time, he had already entered the paint area. After another step, he soared into the air, flying with one arm, and smashed the ball into the basket with a bang.

"Allen, don't try to steal me."

After landing, Li Ba smiled and said to Iverson.

"Hammer, you have broken me many times." Iverson said a little unwillingly.

"My hands are at least ten times more accurate than yours. Every time I make a steal, I'm more than [-]% sure, so I can break you, but it's not so easy for you to break me?" Li Ba said bluntly.

"Fly training?" Iverson said.

Li Ba nodded, didn't speak any more, and returned to defense.

He felt that Iverson was just asking. This guy is so talented offensively, how could he practice defense?He didn't even pay much attention to his usual training.

In this game, 119:81, the Suns finally won by a big score, blowing up the Nuggets.

李坝上场仅三10分钟，拿下26分21篮板6助攻10抢断6盖帽1失误1犯规，打出了双二十+三双+5*5的数据，表现全能高效之极。

After playing the Nuggets, the Suns rushed to Portland overnight and will challenge the Trail Blazers back to back tomorrow.

Even tomorrow's game, there are a total of four games, and it will enter the All-Star Weekend.

It happened this year too, and it happened that the Lunar New Year was on the All-Star Weekend, New Year’s Eve on the 17th, the first day of the 18th, and the All-Star Game was also on the 18th.

From last year's All-Star to the present, Li Ba is the defending champion and the Finals Most Valuable Player, and won the MVP. The most popular thing is that he has played two peerless five-doubles. This year's All-Star voting, Li Ba's votes are far away Leading other stars, up to now, it has broken through 200 million, reaching [-] million, surpassing the previous ones by nearly [-] million.

Of course, one-third of those votes came from within the country, but after removing these, there are also nearly 800 million votes from the United States.

On February 2, the Suns won the last game before the All-Star Game and achieved a record of 14 wins and 42 losses, temporarily ranking first in the Pacific, first in the Western Conference, and first in the league.

As the schedule entered the second half, the Grizzlies, Mavericks, and Lakers also entered the main rotation, and the battle line fell slightly.

The Lakers are weak off the bench and rely entirely on the main force, so they have frequent rotations and failed to sustain their record. Now they are fourth in the Western Conference, behind the Mavericks.

Suns, Grizzlies, Mavericks, Lakers, these are the top four in the Western Conference.

In the west, the Heat are still thriving, with the Pistons and Cavaliers catching up behind them.

The next day, Li Ba flew to New York. This year's All-Star Game will be held at Madison Square Garden.

Dayao, Daba, and Dazhi also rushed to New York, Li Ba found a Chinese restaurant, and the four of them got together.

Dazhi said to Dayao: "You took ten games off this season, right? What about after the All-Stars?"

With a bitter look on his face, Dayao sighed: "I won't rest anymore. If we don't keep fourth and fifth, we may face the Mavericks or the Grizzlies in the first round."

Li Ba said angrily: "Pretend less! You are one game short of the Mavericks and Grizzlies, one and a half games short of us, and five games short of you for the Nuggets. Who are you trying to fool?"

Daba laughed and said, "Dayao just wants to fool you, who else can fool you?"

Dayao laughed and said, "Isn't this a psychological battle? If we can't get ahead of you and only rank fourth in the playoffs, we will have to meet you in that round. It will be very difficult."

Li Ba said sincerely: "Dayao, either you rank fourth and fifth and you meet us in the second round, then you will be killed in the second round this year. Or you can go to sixth and seventh and meet the Grizzlies or the Mavericks in the first round. Eliminate one of them, eliminate the other in the second round, and then play us in the Western Conference Finals.

You want to get back the No. [-] position in the Pacific and No. [-] in the West. It is impossible, and we will not let it go.Besides, if we drop again, we will still be in fourth, and will not fall to the bottom half. In this way, you will eliminate eighth in the first round, and you will also meet us in the second round.So, go to sixth and seventh, that's the most likely way to enter the Western Conference finals. "

Dayao shook his head helplessly.

This is also a question the Lakers have been considering, should they avoid the Suns in the second round?
He was a little depressed and said: "I don't understand, there are no people in your team, why are you so strong?"

Li Ba laughed and said, "I play half of the team by myself, you don't know?"

Looking at the face pretending to be 13 in front of him, Dayao had the idea of ​​doing something.

Da Zhi said at this time: "Tie Hammer, have you considered the 08 Olympic Games?"

"What's the problem?" Li Ba asked suspiciously.

Dazhi said: "You are holding a training camp here, and you say you will see results in one to two years. Doesn't this coincide with the Beijing Olympics? Isn't it more difficult for us to defend the title?"

"Snapped!"

Dayao slapped Li Ba heavily on the thigh, and scolded angrily: "You did a good job!"

Li Ba opened Dayao's hand and said, "Even if we can't defend the title, it's just that we are not strong enough, not that the opponent is too strong. If we really can't defend the title, I will bear the responsibility alone."

"What nonsense is this? Don't we have shoulders?" Dayao said dissatisfiedly.

"To take the honor together, of course everyone should shoulder the responsibility together."

The bus said with a smile: "I can't fight for a few minutes anyway, this responsibility really has to be shouldered by you, and I can't bear it even if I want to."

Li Ba said to the bus: "When the time comes, Alian will take your place, maybe you won't be on the big list yet."

"Pfft!"

Dayao and Dazhi laughed.

The bus was a bit dark, but there was nothing he could do. He estimated that there was a possibility of not being able to enter the national team.

The chat ended at [-]:[-] noon, when Li Ba returned to the hotel, Gao Yuanyuan and Bill Duffy brought a group of people over.

None other than Arum and Mrs. Liz.

At the beginning, he won the world title from Dake, but the contract stipulated that if Dake lost, he had to fight a second battle. This time, he came to discuss this matter.
