NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 937 Now Is Mine, But The Future Is Yours

The next day, a large number of media made various speculations, one of which was agreed by almost everyone, and that was that something happened to Li Ba's wife.

The reason is simple, because she has not appeared in public for a long time, even in the playoffs, she has not appeared once.

Under the reporter's deep investigation, soon, news broke out that Li Ba's family had seized several pairs of anti-fetal drugs at Tang's house.

It is clear from the combination of these few times that Li Ba's wife suffers from pregnancy depression syndrome.

In the afternoon, after the news became clear, Li Ba's mansion was surrounded by media reporters, and some even broke into the house over the wall.

Fortunately, Li Ba's home was equipped with a closed-circuit television system, and the security guards discovered it in time.

Li Ba urgently asked the security company to add a dozen more people, all of them with spray guns in their hands, to scare off those courageous reporters.

The girl didn't have much reaction to these, her main cause was Li Ba.

On May 5, the G14 battle started.

This is a theoretical life-and-death battle for the Lakers. There is only a last stand, and there is no way out.

From head coach Phil Jackson, to team leader Kobe Bryant, to the Big Three, and even general manager Kupchak, there is no retreat.

Such a giant lineup was swept away by the Suns, and someone absolutely needs to stand up and take responsibility.

In the locker room of the visiting team, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

In fact, since the end of the game last night, the atmosphere of the team has been like this.

Bryant leaned against the closet, closed his eyes, and looked calm.

But in fact, as the game approached, his heart was surging like a sea tide, and he needed to exhale from time to time to release the pressure in his heart.

The same is true for Dayao and Duncan, who are under a lot of pressure.

Home team locker room.

Li Ba stood among everyone, glanced at his teammates, and said in a fierce tone: "I said at the beginning of the season, what kind of bullshit giant lineup, we are the strongest.

Tonight, we will sweep the Lakers, we will step on the Big Three, and use their failures to achieve our greatness! "

"Sweep! Sweep! Sweep..."

The generals of the Suns, all coaches and management shouted excitedly.

"Let us in!"

"Hurry up, open the door!"

The reporters waiting outside the passage for interviews heard the voice and rushed to the door one after another, before being stopped by the security guards.

"Let them go, no interviews in our dressing room today."

Li Ba hated reporters the most now, and directly refused the interview request.

Owner Savor and general manager Colangelo nodded. This is the player's territory, and the locker room leader has the highest right to speak here.

Half an hour later, the game started.

"Sweep! Sweep! Sweep..."

Before going on the court, there were unscrupulous and arrogant shouts from the Suns bench.

"Sweep! Sweep! Sweep..."

The huge arena boiled instantly, shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami sounded, and the atmosphere of the Suns home court instantly climbed to the peak, extremely hot.

Defense, unlike offense, does not need to look at the touch, only the attitude.

Attitude determines the upper limit of defensive strength.

So the defensive team is the most stable team.

In this battle, the Suns once again played an amazing and suffocating defense.

Kobe even chose to go it alone this time, but it was still useless.

He was double-teamed throughout the game, and every catch and shot was extremely difficult, and there was no efficiency at all.

The Lakers' two top insiders were fighting around the basket. Li Ba simply let Artest go, and teamed up with Marion to control the paint.

Artest, who was emptied, had limited scoring ability. He suffered 3 blocks and 2 steals from Li Ba and Marion. He made 17 of 5 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and only scored 1 free throws. point.

李坝全场48分钟，打出了36分26篮板8助攻11抢断10盖帽2失误4犯规的豪华数据。

Two hours later, the atmosphere in the American West Arena really reached its peak.

"Dynasty! Dynasty! Dynasty..." Everyone shouted in unison.

The Lakers of the Five-Star Legion, the Lakers of the Big Three, were swept away by the sun. All the media, even if they were mentally prepared, were dumbfounded.

After the game, Barkley analyzed: "The current situation in the Western Conference, the Suns swept the Lakers to enter the Western Conference Finals, and the Jazz played against the Warriors, with a [-]-[-] victory. The Suns will join hands with the Jazz to enter the Western Conference Finals. With the strength of the two teams, the Suns have an absolute advantage... "

In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili shouted excitedly: "If the Suns reach the finals, no matter whether it is the Heat, the Cavaliers, or the Pistons, they will not be the opponents of the Suns. The hope of the Suns dynasty defending the title is [-]%. Above all, we hereby wish the Suns and the Hammers the reigning dynasty!"

On the field, Li Ba did not accept the on-site interview, but walked to the Lakers bench, and said to the discouraged Big Three:

"Comrades, don't be discouraged. Although the present is mine, the future is yours."

"roll!"

Who are you fooling, Dayao scolded angrily.

Kobe didn't even look at Li Ba, and covered his head with a towel.

Duncan glanced at Li Ba, and wanted to put the water glass in his hand on Li Ba's head.

The Suns have great hopes of defending their dynasty, and the heat remains high.

But in the management, but also some problems began to appear.

In 2003, just before Li Ba entered the league, Jerry Colangelo, the big owner of the Suns, sold his equity to Robert Savor for $4 million, but Colangelo is still in the league. In recent years, he has served as the team's chairman and general manager, and his son Brian Colangelo also serves as the team's chief executive.

However, Jerry Colangelo's contract ended in June this year, that is, after the finals. With the team's great success, the market value has skyrocketed tenfold, operating income has also skyrocketed tenfold, and the profits are amazing. Savor He has long intended to take charge of the team's operations and manage the team himself.

Of course, although the Colangelo father and son regretted that they did not meet Li Ba in their era, they did not miss it too much. Jerry Colangelo had long intended to enter the American Basketball Association, and Brian Colangelo Also received an invitation to the position of general manager of the Grizzlies.

However, for more than ten years, the team has been managed by father and son, and they are all from top to bottom. Savor takes over, and there are many difficulties. The change of power will definitely cause a lot of problems, even affect team operations.

What's more serious is that Li Ba, the absolute core of the team, will retire due to personal reasons, which directly plunges the entire management into chaos.

It's just this confusion, because Colangelo and his son are still in office, and because the news has not been disclosed to the middle and lower managers, it has not been exposed.

Once the two leave and Li Ba retires at the same time, the team loses the most stable management core and the team's core and locker room leader at the same time, this kind of chaos is likely to erupt.

So the current Suns team looks very glamorous on the outside, but the inside has actually begun to collapse.

The boss Savor is also forced to smile, with tears in his heart.

Of course, his main concern is Li Ba's retirement, and the resignation of Colangelo and his son is only a trivial matter.

He didn't talk to Li Ba about his retirement. Li Ba's reason for his retirement made it impossible for him to talk about it. He could only passively wait for Li Ba's notice.

Fortunately, he has specifically learned that as long as the pregnant woman gives birth, and after a period of time, everything will gradually improve after the body recovers, and Li Ba will most likely return in one to two seasons.

So he also planned to follow the example of the boss of the Bulls in the past, and pay his salary during Li Ba's temporary retirement.
