Chapter 1036 Ask Jordan to Eat Boiled Cabbage at Home
The regular season schedule continued, until the end of December, the Suns still ranked first in the league, and Li Ba also won the honor of the best player in the Western Conference in December, while continuing to maintain the first place in the MVP rankings.
Time entered January 2009, the Suns had some injuries, Ginobili had some ankle problems, Hill's old injury needed to rest for a while, and veteran Antonio McDyess also had injuries, which affected the team's performance. record.
Two of the main players were injured, and Payton decisively increased the rotation, increasing the playing time of the main substitutes such as Tony Allen, Gasol Jr. and Kevin Martin.
Fortunately, these main substitutes are all young players, so the injury problem is not too serious and can be topped.
Among the main players, Ah Lian's playing time remained at 30 minutes, while Li Ba's playing time increased to 40 minutes.
With the reduction of the playing time of the main players, Li Ba's data has further increased compared with the previous two months.
Of course, the average of triple-doubles and quadruple-doubles he boasted has not been achieved, because he is too versatile, and it is impossible to focus on only one statistic, so in fact it is difficult for him to average triple-doubles and quadruple-doubles per game.
By the middle of the month, the Suns had 31 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the Pacific, first in the Western Conference, and first in the league.
Up to now, almost half of the schedule is over, and the Suns' record has exceeded the media's expectations.
The media's research on this can only be attributed to two points: first, Li Ba's super performance; second, the rationality of the Suns' lineup configuration.
ESPN gave an official point of view: "Judging from the record of the Suns, it once again proves the importance of reasonable allocation.
Except for the last season, the Suns have never deployed a giant lineup in the past few seasons. They have always been characterized by a reasonable lineup configuration, but they have completed the dynasty. This is something that all teams can learn from.
At the beginning of the season, the Suns had a flaw in the fourth position, and then quickly made up for this weakness through reinforcements. Now the Suns have a very high lineup rationality.
In contrast, after the Lakers traded Garnett, their inside speed has improved. From this point of view, it is a reasonable trading configuration.
The Mavericks, with O'Neal and Stoudemire as the starting combination of insiders, plus Nowitzki, the overall speed of the third, fourth and fifth positions is too slow, which is unreasonable.
For the Grizzlies, the speed of Gasol on the inside does not match the speed of the two horses on the outside. The inside is slow and the outside is fast. .
The Eastern Heat collapsed, but with the addition of Yao, Ray Allen has not been traded out, in fact, they still maintain a strong strength.As long as the morale of the army can stabilize, the Heat are still very competitive.Of course, judging from the rationality of the lineup, the Heat are actually good. Yao and Haslem have one offense and one defense. There is Ray Allen's three-pointer from the outside, and then Wade connects the inside.
Of course, the Suns' lineup configuration this season also has a weakness, and that is the No. [-] position. "
Like the Suns, other teams also have various situations, and their record is not as strong as it was at the beginning of the season.
The Grizzlies, both horses are injured, and their record has declined.
Mavericks, Stoudemire was injured for a week, Kidd stopped a few games.
For the Lakers, Duncan's playing time was reduced due to injury, and he averaged 25 minutes per game. Kobe injured his finger and stopped for three games, and Garnett also stopped for two games.
For the Cavaliers, O'Neal was injured after playing the Suns, and only played three games in the following games.
As for whether these injuries are real, no one knows.
In January, Li Ba's family also began to prepare New Year's goods, and a lot of wax goods were hung in the backyard.
On the 20th, the Suns arrived in Miami to challenge the Heat away.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Dayao called and said he would treat Wade and Ray Allen.
The four of them found a Chinese restaurant, asked the chef to prepare a table of traditional dishes, and chatted.
"Dayao, you're lucky, you're joining big teams from big cities." Li Ba said enviously.
"..."
The hand holding the water glass shook, Dayao wanted to splash this guy in the face.
"Rookie, it's already the sixth season, and you just hang around like this in the Heat, without pursuit?" Li Ba asked Wade again.
Glancing at Li Ba and clenched his fists, Wade said expressionlessly, "We didn't collapse, we will continue to fight."
"If the hearts of the people are scattered, the team will be difficult to lead, and it will collapse sooner or later."
After teasing Wade, Li Ba said to Ray Allen: "Ray, you are almost 34, and you have been down since last season, and you have no idea?"
"It depends on luck."
Ray Allen said with a smile.
He knows that he has passed his prime, so it is very difficult for the Heat to trade him now. It is not that they cannot be traded, just like exchanging Garnett for Yao. It is difficult for the Heat to trade him for a good guy. There is no second Lakers up.
Li Ba said: "You can't depend on luck, you have to take the initiative. You come to the Heat, don't you just want to win the championship, why don't you continue?"
"Are you determined to win the championship this season?" Wade shouted unconvinced: "You really may not be able to beat the Lakers."
"We can't beat the Lakers? Unless we have extensive injuries." Li Ba sneered.
"It's too little!" Dayao said angrily.
Li Ba said: "Dayao, you have played 35 minutes here, are you not afraid of breaking your leg?"
"I'm in good shape at the end of the quarter." Dayao said.
"You can do the series too? Anyway, I've said it a few times, you can listen to it or not." Li Ba sneered.
When leaving, Li Ba handed [-]ml of lubricating oil to Dayao, and told him: "This is Guoguo's, there is no more, don't rub it everywhere, just wipe it on your knees and feet."
"I know." Dayao smiled happily when he saw this thing.
On the 21st, the Suns defeated the Heat.
On the 22nd, the Suns lost back to back to the Cavaliers, and then returned to Phoenix.
On the morning of the 23rd, Li Ba received a call from Jordan.
"Tie Hammer, I heard that your family has a good Chinese chef?" Jordan said with a smile.
"Yes, our family still has the world's top wine, do you want to try it?" Li Ba smiled.
In the afternoon, Bobcats visit.
At six o'clock, Jordan came to Li Ba's house with the gift he had prepared.
"Michael, this is specially prepared for you." Li Ba said, pointing to a dish that was just served.
"You just let me eat this?"
Jordan took a look, and saw that the dish was filled with a pot of water in a white porcelain pot, and a small cabbage heart was soaked in it. He said in Li Ba's ear with some dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Li Ba quickly said to the girl next to him, "Guoguo is getting more and more naughty, let her be punished to eat some vegetarian dishes."
"Uh-huh."
The girl nodded again and again, quickly got up and picked up Guoguo's small bowl, first scooped up half a bowl of soup, then scooped up the cabbage heart, and gave the remaining half of the can of soup to Li Dacheng and the three of them.
Guoguo didn't dislike it, grabbed a spoon and ate happily.
Liu Xiaoli, Zhou Yuehe, and Li Dacheng didn't have much to say. If the guests don't eat it, just eat it by yourself.
