Chapter 1038 The Suns Absolutely Overwhelm the Lakers
The Lakers and the Grizzlies played three to one in the first four games, and the G26 game will be played on the 5th.
The Mavericks also lead the Pelicans three-to-one, and the Nuggets and Trail Blazers have tied the first four games.
In the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers, like the Suns, swept the Pistons in the first round, showing the atmosphere of a championship.
The Heat led the Bulls [-]-[-], the Raptors tied with the Digital Team, and the Magic led the Eagles [-]-[-].
On the 26th, the team did not practice. Li Ba practiced basketball for two hours in the morning and tennis in the afternoon.
After a season of training, his basic skills are decent.
He pays attention to serve, and the highest measured speed of the ball has reached 275 kilometers, which has exceeded the current highest speed of the serve.
Super-long arms, good explosive power, and strong waist and abdominal muscles provide a strong foundation for his serve.
He wants to lose muscle and weight, and if he loses 110 kilograms, he can participate in tennis matches at the same time.
Now the team has Gasol Jr., and his strength is not bad. It is a good attempt for him to go to the fourth position.
Anyway, with O'Neal getting old, Ben is also getting old, and the insiders of the league no longer need such a large tonnage.
Moreover, except for his rookie season, he didn't play that kind of low post in the next few seasons. His mobility is still the same, so it is feasible for him to lose five kilograms.
And the league is speeding up, his speed will be faster after losing weight, and he is likely to be more adaptable to this change in the league.
He is not the paranoid like Jordan and Kobe, who pursue victory regardless of everything. His purpose of coming to the NBA is to make money. My own sports career is richer.
Today he called Bill Duffy and Gao Yuanyuan to discuss this matter with them.
The two came to the tennis court in the backyard. Li Ba stopped training and sat down on the edge, and the three chatted.
"Are you really ready to dabble in tennis?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.
"Yes, the Australian Open starts in January, and the French Open in May and June. I can't even catch up, but Wimbledon and the United States are both in the offseason, so I can try." Li Ba laughed.
"Hammer, are you going to fight this year?" Bill Duffy asked.
"Yes." Li Ba said.
Bill Duffy said with some embarrassment: "Then I need to get a wild card. I don't have any connections in the tennis world."
Gao Yuanyuan said: "Let me contact you."
Bill Duffy was very envious. Li Ba's connections, except his wife Crystal, were managed by Gao Yuanyuan, so he couldn't get them.
Gao Yuanyuan said again: "With your popularity and influence in the sports world, you may not need contacts to get a wild card. You should contact the organizing committee first."
Bill Duffy said: "Then the team will be formally formed from now on. Wimbledon is at the end of June, just as the finals are over."
At this time, Locke over there smiled and said, "Hammer, can we join?"
Li Ba smiled and nodded to the two of Locke, and said to Gao Yuanyuan and Bill Duffy: "Neil and Locke are both good, they can join."
"OK."
Gao Yuanyuan and Bill Duffy Road.
Both Locke and Neil laughed. Being able to join Li Ba's team would be of great benefit to them, as it would increase their popularity and status in the industry.
"Husband, there are guests." At this moment, the girl shouted.
Li Ba looked back and said in surprise, "Lin Dan?"
The two have known each other for several years, and this is the first time Lin Dan has been looking for him in the United States.
The two are about the same age, and Li Ba and Dalin are just over one year old. Although they don't have much contact with each other, they have a good relationship and respect each other because of their achievements in their respective professions.
"Lin Dan, come to watch the game?" He asked with some doubts.
"Why come to you if you don't watch the game?" Lin Dan laughed.
He looked at the tennis court and said in surprise, "Tie Hammer, the media has long said that you are practicing tennis. Are you really playing?"
Li Ba smiled and said, "How can you see that?"
Lin Dan said: "The Lakers are about to play in the playoffs. Isn't it obvious that you practice tennis instead of basketball?"
Li Ba laughed and said, "After the playoffs, I want to try Wimbledon, and I'm trying to get a wild card."
"Really? You're awesome!" Lin Dan gave Li Ba a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "I've played boxing before, and now I'm playing tennis again. How many grand slams do you want?"
"It's really not a big goal." Li Ba said with a smile: "Try this year, try the water first."
Lin Dan said: "Several female members of the national tennis team have changed careers to go solo this year, you know that?"
"Li, how many of them are there? I'm really not very familiar with them. I haven't talked much, and I haven't paid attention to this matter." Li Ba laughed.
Lin Dan said: "I heard from Li Na that the burden is very heavy. This year's bonus can't cover the expenses. After a year, it may lose about 200 million yuan."
"It's natural to start losing money. You need to raise a team." Li Ba smiled, pointed to Locke and Neil, and said:
"I haven't started yet, and now I have to form a team, and I can't play a few games. I don't have any income at all, and I lose more than them."
Lin Dan said: "So there are professions that are good, but systems are also good."
That night, the Lakers and the Grizzlies played in G5, and the results were unexpected, and the Grizzlies won.
On the 28th, the league officially announced a series of individual honors.
Li Ba has won a series of personal honors alone, not to mention, as the rookie head coach of the Suns, Gary Payton actually won the best coach with the league's first record, which has to make many people complain.
Cavaliers coach Mike Brown vented his inner dissatisfaction to the media: "This is simply messing!"
No matter what the outside world said, Gary Payton was very happy, clamoring for a treat in the team.
At noon on May 5st, Wu Jiehui and Gao Yuanyuan suddenly visited together.
"Are you getting married?"
Hearing this news suddenly, Li Ba was a little stunned, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Congratulations, when?"
"August." Wu Jiehui said with a smile.
On May 5th, the second round will start.
The Suns made it to the second round after a year, and there were huge crowds of fans inside and outside the American West Arena.
The home team locker room, where some media are allowed to visit.
As for the media, of course it is the media approved by Li Ba, this is his territory, he has the final say on everything, and the boss can't control it.
A large group of media, who were not allowed in, made noise outside, but there was nothing they could do.
"Iron Hammer, the Lakers eliminated the Grizzlies [-]-[-], and the Suns swept the Jazz. Does this mean that the Suns are stronger than the Lakers?" a reporter asked.
"Of course, the strength of the Suns will definitely crush the Lakers." Following the reporter's words, Li Ba said cozily.
"Uh?"
The reporter is embarrassed, Hammer, can you be humble at least?
