Chapter 1308 The Heat Want to Trade Zhuang Shen
Tomorrow, the Suns will start four road trips. The first one is the Pistons' back-to-back games. Tonight they will go to Detroit. The distance is very far, and they will be very tired when they are close to Canada.
So after getting on the plane, Li Ba asked his teammates to rest and sleep.
At four o'clock, Li Ba woke up and looked at his teammates. Basically, they were all sleeping. Only Jimmy Butler was listening to music with his eyes wide open.
"Boss, I can't sleep!"
Sensing Li Ba's gaze, Butler looked up, was startled, and quickly explained.
He was so excited. In the just-concluded Bihan, he actually played 25 minutes and scored 9 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 block. Although this data is still poor, this is his best performance. up.
"It seems that you don't want to play today." Li Ba said angrily.
Jimmy Butler quickly pulled off his earphones, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He still couldn't sleep, he was in a daze, and he didn't know when it was. He suddenly woke up when he heard Drummond calling him next to him. The plane had already stopped at the airport. It's daylight.
At 06:30 in the morning, the Suns arrived in Detroit, settled in the hotel at almost [-] o'clock, and then continued to rest.
The Pistons are no longer as strong as they were in the Pistons' Five Tigers era. They have not made the playoffs for three consecutive seasons. Even if the Suns are back-to-back, they have defeated the Pistons with their strong strength and won the first three consecutive victories.
On November 11, the Suns arrived in Orlando and will challenge the Magic on the 3th.
The Magic traded Warcraft Howard last season and started rebuilding with great courage, but now they are weak.
In fact, in the future, the reconstruction of the Magic is nowhere in sight. It was not until the 2018-19 season that they re-entered the playoffs. The difficulty of reconstruction can also be seen.
Just like the Celtics, who played for two seasons by picking up the Cavaliers' lineup, are now in trouble and have to start rebuilding.
There is also the Spurs, after several seasons, there are a lot of No. [-] picks, but they still failed to rebuild, and they had to recall old people like Duncan and Parker.
The only advantage is that the Spurs still have Popovich, who has a strong ability to train new players, and the reconstruction is more promising.
Like the Suns, with Li Ba as the core, it is rare to rebuild as soon as it is said.
It is said that the Suns and the Magic play a game, and the media will hype this game, but no, except for Orlando Multimedia, almost all other media are talking about the Suns' next game.
On the night of the 4th, the Suns defeated the Magic and won the first four consecutive victories, and then rushed to Miami overnight to start the second back-to-back of this round of road trip. On the 5th, they will challenge the defending champion Heat.
The Heat got Deron Williams, and their strength is even better than that of the championship season. This game is also a time to test the true strength of the Suns.
In the eyes of the media, in the first four games of the Suns, the Mavericks have some strength, but they are not considered top-notch teams. Only a championship-level team can do it.
On the morning of the 5th, the Suns had a rest at the hotel in Miami, free activities in the afternoon, and assembled at the hotel at 4 o'clock.
James, Wade, Gasol Jr. and others came to the hotel to pick up Li Ba and invited him to lunch at the Xianbei Restaurant.
Ray Allen is also among them. Like Haslem, he left the sun and returned to the Heat.
"Mark, didn't the Heat trade you?" After sitting down, Li Ba joked.
Speaking of this, Gasol touched his head and laughed, and said, "No, he gave me a promised big contract last season."
But James next to him looked serious. He thought of the Suns' inside line this season. Marc Gasol obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of the Hammers. It is slower than the Suns.
He was thinking about this issue, and Pat Riley, the general manager of the Heat, was also thinking about this issue. He thought of Gai Gasol again. He took a fancy to the Suns' rookie Drummond in 2012 and wanted to trade him.
Drummond's physical fitness is very good, his physical fitness is overwhelming, and he runs back and forth from the bottom line faster than defenders such as Westbrook and Irving. If his skills are not too rough, his pick will definitely enter the top three.
The media's template for this rookie is a hammer, but Pat Riley believes that this rookie's template should be O'Neal.
As long as Drummond develops low-post skills and close-range shots, he will be another big shark, a big shark that can compete with the hammer, and this future big shark is only 19 years old now. And the Hammers are 30 years old.
It's just that he scratched his head a little, and it was very difficult to trade Gasol back to the Suns, because the Suns did not lack Gasol at all, and Gasol's big contract was also an obstacle.
At [-] o'clock in the evening, before the start of the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.
Suns: Li Ba, Nene, Caron Butler, George Hill, Harden.
Heat: Marc Gasol, Haslem, James, Wade, Deron Williams.
On the TNT live broadcast, Barkley said: "Haslem did not choose to renew his contract with the Suns after the end of his contract last season. He returned to the Heat this season and partnered with Gasol Jr. in the interior. The decline is serious, the average is only 6+7 per game, although the rebounding ability is still good, but the playing time is only 25 minutes."
Kenny Smith said: "The Heat should continue to strengthen. The 32-year-old Haslem cannot afford the starting position at the fourth position. He is old."
At the start of the game, Li Ba and Gasol jumped the ball and beat each other, and the Suns attacked.
Li Ba quickly passed Gasol Jr., who couldn't hold back, Haslem blocked it, was knocked away by him again, and then rushed into the top of the arc.
"Boss!"
Seeing it, Harden saw a good opportunity, shouted, pushed with both hands, and threw the ball to Li Ba.
However, the speed of the ball was too fast, and Li Ba missed it. The ball hit the backboard directly, and was picked up by James who retreated.
Harden wanted to make a Ba's lob, but got a mistake. Dumbfounded, he quickly returned to defense.
"This idiot!"
While returning to defense, Li Ba cursed in his heart.
"The cooperation between Harden and the Hammer is still too little, and mistakes are inevitable." Zhang Lili laughed.
Heat attack.
The two major insiders are all active in the paint area, because Gasol Jr. and Haslem have little ability to stretch, and to protect rebounds, the Heat's tactics cannot be stretched.
In this way, James and Wade's breakthroughs will be impossible to play, and they can only shoot from the outside, and the threat will be more than halved.
This is also the helplessness of this kind of breakthrough players. As long as Li Ba is inside, they are just ordinary outside shooting stars.
