Chapter 59 I'm Not a Monk

The Suns' next game is on the 10th, away to the Warriors.

The Suns have a great chance of winning this game, because the Warriors belong to a big team.

The last time the Warriors entered the playoffs was the 9394 season, and they have not entered the playoffs for 9 consecutive years. This year is also hopeless, and they are strong contenders for the lottery pick.

That night, the Mosaic team played against the Orlando Magic at home and won 96:86. Yao made 6 of 18 shots, scored 16 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 5 fouls. Although the shooting rate was a bit problematic, the double-double performance was not bad. , close to 20+10 performance.

After the game, Li Ba called Dayao.

"Dayao, the statistics are good, so comprehensive."

"Hey, I gained weight recently, and my hands felt the impact, and I missed a few goals with good opportunities." Dayao sighed.

"Have you set your weight gain goal?"

This is what Li Ba cares about. He doesn't care about the performance of a game, whether it's his or Dayao's.

"I have considered your and Bill's opinions, and discussed it with my dad. I think your words make sense, so I asked Bill to discuss with the team. The result is not yet determined. The team's opinion still makes me gain weight to 140 kg." Dayao said.

"Don't listen to them. You are not a fringe player with no status. You decide for yourself. Your legs are very strong. Except for O'Neill, there are not many people who can push you in the interior with 130 kilograms. And even if you gain weight Even if it reaches 140 kilograms, it can’t beat O’Neill either. That big guy has let himself go, and is thicker than the fat of my family’s New Year pigs.” Li Ba said.

"Puchi!" Dayao laughed.

After finishing the phone call with Dayao, Li Ba turned on the system.

The system is still in hibernation, and he estimates that as long as he doesn't level up or receive periodic rewards, this guy will keep hibernating.

"Hey, can you update my training progress and information at any time?" He asked tentatively.

"Yes." A prompt immediately appeared on the screen.

Li Ba opened his mouth wide, are you pretending to be dead?

Host: Li Ba

Occupation: Level 5 Flycatcher (There are 9 levels in total, the next level is the upgrade condition, and the success rate of catching flies reaches 40%)

Flycatcher's physical fitness: strength 93, stamina 92, nerve reaction speed 79, flexibility 64, explosive power 73, speed 70

Flycatcher Talent Skill: Level 1 Lock

The success rate of fly catching: 40% in the air, 41% in the front, 28% in the left and right flanks, 19% in the rear wing, and 31.2% overall.

The last time he was promoted to the fifth level was October 1st, almost forty days, and some information has changed.

The physical fitness and nerve response speed and flexibility increased a bit, the explosive power actually increased by two points, and the speed also increased by two points.

"Haha, the increase is still very fast. This is different from the opinion of the strength trainer. It seems that the ability of the system is indeed very strange. If you pay, you will gain, haha!"

Li Ba is very happy as his physical fitness continues to improve.

As for fly catching training, he was even more surprised.

The success rate in the air actually increased by 9%. Of course, this is what he has focused on training recently. This action has a strong effect on blocking shots.

The frontal success rate has increased by 5%, which is not bad. This action also has a strong effect on blocking shots, and it also has a strong effect on frontal steals.

The left and right flanks have each increased by 3%, which is not bad.

When he saw the success rate on the back side, he suddenly became excited.

This is also where he worked very hard, and it actually increased by 11%?

In this direction, the success rate was close to zero at the beginning, mainly because there was no similar basketball training before, so the success rate was extremely low at the beginning. Now it has increased so fast, it should be that the fly-catching training in the past few months has paid off. Now it explodes.

And other aspects of training should be the same, his fly-catching training is already on the fast track.

Now he conducts fly-catching training for three hours every day, and can kill nearly 3,000 insects, which is much more efficient than before, which means that the success rate is making great strides.

"A success rate of at least 3,000 times per day means that about 100,000 times of fly-catching training can be completed in a month."

He looked at the number of fly-catching trainings again. The last time it was 200,000 was at the end of October, and now ten days have passed, it has reached more than 232,000 times, which is the same as his calculation.

"Haha, not bad! In less than 40 days, the comprehensive success rate has increased from 25% to 31%. It can increase by about 5% in one month. Then I will be promoted to level six. It will take at most two months, early or mid-January It can be upgraded."

On the 9th, Li Ba went with the team to the Jinzhou Warriors.

In the end, in this game, 99:96, the Suns won a small three-point away game, completed two consecutive victories, achieved a record of 2 losses and 4 wins, ranking sixth in the Western Conference.

In this game, Li Ba started again, played 25 minutes, scored 4 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks, 3 steals, 1 turnover and 3 fouls.

The performance was slightly worse than the previous game, but it can be said to be stable and still provided the team with strong energy on the defensive end.

After the game, Frank has already set the starting position for Li Ba in his heart.

In these two games, he also arranged a lot of playing time for other inside players, but now he decided to compress it and give Li Ba more playing time, at least 30 minutes, two and a half quarters.

Of course, he still needs to talk to the Hammers, because what he needs is the defense of the Hammers, but if the Hammers have no offense at all like Big Ben, as D'Antoni said, then they will completely lose their attractiveness in the interior. The ability to clamp, so the hammer still needs to show a certain offensive ability.

After the result of this game was sent back to China, it further suppressed the negative news from last time.

The Sports Department of CCTV held an interim meeting to discuss the live broadcast of the Suns game.

"We contacted the Sports Weekly and asked about Li Ba's situation in the Suns. He has the trust of the head coach. As long as he plays well, he has a high possibility of continuing to start."

"Actually, as long as you have playing time, you can broadcast live. You don't need to start. The Raptors can't make the roster at all."

"On the 14th, the Suns played against the Mosaic team. This is an absolute Chinese derby, and it is an offensive and defensive derby. We will broadcast this live. In addition, our sports department will send a resident reporter there. Inquire from other media, I can't afford to lose that person!"

He Yeqing, the director of the sports department, didn't think too much about it. Li Ba's first performance in the two games gave him a lot of confidence, so he made a direct decision.

Similarly, after the game ended, a certain wave and a certain fox immediately decided to send people to the United States to discuss broadcast cooperation with NBA officials.

At this moment, the Basketball Management Center (Basketball Association), like CCTV, also held a meeting related to Li Ba. The meeting was chaired by Li Yuanwei, director of the center

Li Yuanwei took over the position of Xin Lancheng in June this year, and the latter was transferred to the sports department of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee.

The current national team coach Jiang Xinquan, members of the coaching staff Adijiang and Zhang Yongjun, former head coach and current consultant Qian Chenghai, deputy director of the center Hu Jiashi, Liu Xiaonong, Li Jinshen and others participated in the meeting.

On the second day of the game, although it was still not a nationally broadcast game, some media still reported the game, and several media made comments on Li Ba's performance.

"Iron Hammer, an undrafted pick who blatantly called the Grizzlies 'soft'. He is the next big Ben! But he is an arrogant big Ben!"

ESPN Phoenix correspondent Tom reports.

"With 27 rebounds, 7 blocks and 6 steals in two games, the next big book is born!" CNN sports reporter Rose reported.

"Successive blockbusters, undrafted showtime!" Phoenix Sports News.

"Iron Hammer, the cleanest inside defensive player, the most underrated undrafted pick in history!"

Well-known basketball commentator Christine Laidlow, who has written commentary articles for Li Ba in a row, published an article on his CNN sports column again.

Li Ba never asked Bill Duffy, but he was sure that this Christine Laidlow must have been arranged by Duffy.

In addition to these big media, some small media broke the news that Li Ba collected a bag full of notes after the game.

"According to reliable sources, Hammer has dated female fans before, so this time, what we want to know is, how many calls will he make in one night?"

"How far can an undrafted pick who puts his energy into bed go?"

Chen Hong told Li Ba about these media reports, but Li Ba dismissed them.

Don't say he didn't call, so what if he did? He is not a monk.
