"Maybe we have already contacted you, but you don't know about it, mom," the girl said.
Liu Xiaoli nodded, took out her mobile phone and called the Los Angeles branch. After talking for a few words, she hung up the phone and said, "We really got in touch. The company is preparing to notify us."
"Husband, do you want to take a picture?" the girl asked.
"If you want to shoot, you still have time during the offseason, but you can't play tennis." Gao Yuanyuan said.
"Can't take pictures of real sharks?" Zhou Yuehe asked worriedly.
"Of course not, Aunt Zhou, they used props." Gao Yuanyuan laughed.
"Oh." Zhou Yuehe felt relieved.
"I don't know how to act, and I don't have much interest, so let's stop filming. Aren't there so many stars in the company, let's choose two to film."
Li Ba thought about it, but still didn't want to do this.
Gao Yuanyuan nodded and said, "If you don't want to make it, then don't make it, but we can still invest in this film. Pick two stars from the company to act, and it seems that we have to make two international stars popular."
Li Ba rested for a week, and the team lost three games in a row, dropping to sixth place in the Western Conference.
On the 7th, Li Ba came back and led the team to an away game against the Philadelphia Digital Team, and then went to Boston the next day to challenge the Celtics away.
Keston signed Dayao and kept O'Neal with a one-year basic salary contract. This season's strength is very strong.
Of course, the Celtics still haven't made up for the weakness of being too slow inside.
But the Suns are no longer the Suns of last season, and their fast-break ability has declined severely. This weakness is not as big as it seems.
So this season, the Celtics suffocated and wanted to win the championship.
The Celtics are now 29 wins and 6 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Heat.
After the Suns arrived in Boston, Dayao treated him to the Xianbei restaurant.
Boston is a world-renowned city with the highest level of education in the United States, with a population of nearly 60 in the urban area and less than 500 million in the metropolitan area. The scale of the Xianbei restaurant here is still good, and it can accommodate nearly 80 people at the same time.
"You kid is getting more and more amazing. Tell me, how did you kill that shark? You know, I invited O'Neill over just now, but he shook his head. He was afraid that you would blow his head off, haha!" Dayao laughed. .
Li Ba smiled and said: "Shaq called me just now, saying that he already had an appointment at noon, and he invited me to have dinner here tonight. Speaking of that shark, let me tell you, Dayao, I didn't blow it, and I'll do it again. I'm not afraid..."
"Stop bragging in front of me, do you think bragging doesn't pay taxes?" Dayao laughed.
"Bragging means not paying taxes." Li Ba laughed.
The two chatted about the situation of the alliance today.
Dayao said: "We are still in traditional positional warfare, but the Heat have changed a lot this season. Their tactics are very aggressive, and their offensive and defensive rhythms are fast. The three-pointers accounted for [-]% of the shots, and the outside offense even reached [-]%. This is clear. It's for you."
Li Ba said: "I heard from Yuan Yuan that the Heat intend to trade Gasol."
"Are they sick?" Dayao asked doubtfully.
"It's obvious that Gasol has dragged down their offensive and defensive speed. This should be the time for a trade. Pat Riley didn't decide on a tactical change at that time, but now after the decision is made, Gasol becomes tasteless. Already." Li Ba said.
"Who do you think they will trade?" Dayao asked.
"Short inside, you need to be fast. You must be able to rebound and defend, you must be able to eat cakes, you must also be good at passing, and you must have vision..." Li Ba said.
"Are you talking about yourself?" Dayao said angrily.
"It's funny to say that Gasol is not as effective as Haslem in the Heat's current tactics, haha!" Li Ba laughed.
"What about the big contract they promised Gasol?" Dayao asked.
"So this matter is at a standstill. Yuanyuan didn't let go, and the Heat didn't dare to force a trade. Otherwise, it would be revealed that they didn't keep their promises, and the reputation of the team would be ruined. No star would want to join the Heat in the future. Either it will continue like this now , The Heat have to let Mark still play the main force, this is a negotiated condition, or find a next home, a team that can give a big contract next season." Li Ba laughed.
"By the way, my wife is pregnant." Dayao said happily at this time.
"Your?" Li Ba said casually, which made Dayao stern.
"What the hell, Iron Hammer, do you want a beating, kid?" Dayao said angrily.
"Eh? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, haha..." Li Ba laughed.
After having lunch with Dayao, Li Ba did not leave, but walked around the restaurant to check the situation in all aspects.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, O'Neill arrived.
"Shaq, when do you plan to retire?" Li Ba asked while eating.
"I will retire after playing this season. I hope to get another ring. I can't have less than Kobe's ring." O'Neal said.
"Then you are finished, you will always be one behind him." Li Ba laughed.
"It's all your fault for trading me." O'Neill immediately said dissatisfied.
Li Ba laughed, it seems that the fat man still remembers being traded by the Suns.
"You laughed too early, Hammer, there is no hope for your Suns this season. We have an advantage against the Heat. We can beat them inside. Pierce can also deal with LeBron James. After we reach the finals, whether it is against the Lakers or Mavericks and Grizzlies will definitely win." O'Neal said proudly.
"Shaq, I support you. You still have to have dreams. After all, you are not a salted fish." Li Ba encouraged.
"This is our strength, not a dream." O'Neill exclaimed strangely.
The next day, August 1th.
Before the game, the media entered the locker room for interviews.
"Hammer, do you want to win this game?" A reporter asked.
"The Celtics are a super strong team. Of course I hope to win it to prove that our Suns are still a championship-level team, not a quasi-championship-level team." Li Ba said.
Barkley said: "Hammer, the Celtics are also a team dominated by veterans. What do you think is the difference between the Suns and the Celtics? If you have the opportunity to meet in the finals, in the series Who will have the advantage?"
Li Ba thought for a while and said: "Dayao's physical fitness has always been a problem. O'Neal is too old to run, so he can only walk on the field. Rashid is also about to retire. Pierce is not young anymore. Most of their veterans are here. Inside, our veterans are mostly on the outside, and the energy consumption on the outside is smaller. This is our advantage and difference. If we all reach the finals, then we will still maintain our advantage.”
Before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.
Suns: Li Ba, Ah Lian, Ray Allen, Ginobili, Nash.
Celtics: Dayao, Rasheed Wallace, Pierce, All Pass, Billups.
