Li Ba glanced at everyone, nodded and smiled: "Yes, none of them are late. There is a rule in the Suns, including me, no one should miss training without reason, and no one should be late or leave early without reason. Hope you all keep it up."
Next, Li Ba talked with his teammates one by one.
"Steve, welcome to Phoenix." Li Ba first came to Nash on the far side.
"Hello, Hammer, I'm glad to be on your team." Nash smiled humbly.
"Tracey, keep your health in good condition. I hope you can stand up when the team needs you." Li Ba smiled when he came to McGrady and held the opponent's hand.
"Yes, definitely." Maddie smiled.
"Vince, are you ready?" Li Ba came to Carter.
"I've filled up the gas." Carter laughed.
"Lei, make your three-pointer more accurate, and I will give you a lot of shots." Li Ba said to Ray Allen.
"Hammer, I will give you a lot of assists." Ray Allen laughed.
Li Ba came in front of Milicic.
This handsome Serbian guy was a bit shy, with dyed blond hair. When he saw Li Ba approaching, he stepped back cautiously and shouted, "Boss."
Li Ba looked at the No. [-] pick in the same year. The two draft picks are very different, and the achievements they have achieved now are also very different.
"Dako, I hope you are more proactive." Li Ba said.
"..."
Milicic nodded a little blankly.
"Kwame, I heard that Jordan is very cruel to you?"
When he came to Kwame Brown, Li Ba asked curiously.
Kwame Brown didn't expect Li Ba to say this, he was taken aback for a moment and said, "He is very serious, very strict, I can't do what he asked me to do, and it will be the same here."
"..." Li Ba was speechless.
He remembered what Kwame Brown once said to Kobe, don't pass the ball to me, I can't catch it with slippery hands.
Li Ba glanced back at David Griffin, is this the substitute you found for me?Do you want me to play full court all season?
David Griffin spread his hands in embarrassment, but he would not sign this parallel import if he had other options.
Next, the team arranged a tactical meeting to discuss basic tactical issues for the new season.
In fact, this has already been decided. It is the one-star four-shot tactic and the sudden pass-and-cut tactic discussed last time.
"Hammer, what are your thoughts on your position in the new season?" Payton asked.
Of course, Li Ba has thought about this issue for a long time. He said: "This season, we have too many veterans, so we have to use every point and everyone's energy. Everyone on the court must shoot, and shoot when they have the opportunity. Never waste an opportunity. Then I position myself as a blue-collar worker."
"What?" Everyone was stunned.
They were stunned.
What is Li Ba's status now?He is definitely not just a superstar in the NBA basketball business league. He is a real world superstar sports superstar who is king across the three realms. How can he be positioned as a blue-collar?
Li Ba ignored their thoughts and continued, "You guys are in charge of the offensive performance. I'm in charge of rebounding, defense, secondary offense, and all the dirty work. Let's work together to defend the dynasty."
"This is a true team leader!"
At this moment, this is the voice of everyone.
In the next few days, Li Ba trained with his teammates. There are too many veterans, and they get used to each other relatively quickly.
At 25 am on the 10th, the Suns held a press conference for the new season.
Although the Suns' championship lineup has been dismantled, Li Ba is still the greatest active basketball player in the world. At the same time, he beat the Wimbledon champion for the second time, and his influence is so great that the league does not think second-handed. There are hundreds of media people at the meeting.
"Hammer, do you have any goals for the new season?" The ESPN reporter was the first to be flopped, he asked.
"Of course it's the defending dynasty. Are you new here?" Li Ba laughed.
"But do you think it's possible to rebuild the team?" the reporter asked.
"Where has it been rebuilt? Rebuilding refers to core replacement. Has the Suns' core changed?" Li Ba denied.
"Hammer, how sure are you of defending the dynasty?"
At this time, the host pointed to John, the team reporter of the local sports newspaper, and John asked with a smile.
"I said 90.00%, do you believe it?" Li Ba said with a smile.
John shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. I think it's [-]%. Isn't this your usual attitude?"
Li Ba laughed and said, "That's what you want, [-]%."
"Iron Hammer, although you are still there, the Suns have lost too many defensive players. The style of the new team members is obviously not in line with the team's team building style, so will the new Suns maintain their defensive style? ’ the third reporter, a reporter from the New York Times, asked.
"It's a style of both offense and defense. Last season we were the team with the most points and the team with the fewest points conceded." Li Ba corrected.
The reporter nodded, waiting for Li Ba's answer.
Li Ba went on to say: "We should lose some energy on the defensive end, and the team may face more conceded points. This is inevitable, but we will still maintain the original team building style, which is impossible to change. of."
The reporter asked again: "What do you think of Steve Nash's joining?"
Li Ba said: "Steve did a good job in the first three years of the Knicks, but in the next few years, he was limited by the changes in the team's style and his performance was mediocre. I hope he can succeed here. Foundation."
The fourth reporter asked: "Iron Hammer, there are too many veterans in the team, and then I don't think Milicic and Kwame Brown can help you much. Do you really think that the Suns in the new season are still championship-level players?" team?"
Li Ba said with a smile: "As long as I am here, the Suns will always be a championship-level team."
The fifth reporter said: "Hammer, you are over 28 years old, how long do you think you can maintain your peak period? One year? Or two years?"
Li Ba said: "Do you dare to bet? If I haven't retired 20 years later, you will still ask me this question."
"20 years? You will be almost 20 years old in 50 years, Hammer, are you crazy?" the reporter asked in surprise.
"As long as I think, everything is possible." Li Ba laughed.
Next, the reporter shifted his target.
"Vince, why did you choose to join the Suns?" A reporter asked.
"The Hammer invited me. I think Phoenix will be very good. I can contribute my energy to the team, so I am here." Carter laughed.
"Steve, do you think you can win a championship here?" a reporter asked.
"The Suns won five championships in six years. If the Hammers don't retire, it is likely to win six championships in six years. I believe this season will be as promising." Nash laughed.
After the press conference, the media quickly made an assessment of the strength of the Suns: a quasi-championship-level team.
The reason why it is a quasi-championship team is because the core of the team is Li Ba. With another player, it would be a top-notch team at best.
