Chapter 646 Jermaine, You Are the Boss, You Have to Keep Asking for the Ball

"Looks like I haven't done enough!"

Li Ba sighed and began to think about the future: "This season, strive for double 20+5*5, next season, I will add a triple-double, and next season, average 4 doubles+double 20+5*5? That's too much. Isn’t it scary? I might not be able to average 5 doubles per game in the future? Oh, one day I’ll be 1v5, and at that moment, I’m sure to be the loneliest basketball god in the world!”

"Brother Hammer, you're drooling!"

At this time, Liu Yifei's voice sounded, awakening someone's daydream.

On the 30th, the Suns ushered in a challenge from the Pacers.

There is no live broadcast of this game, only the domestic network broadcast.

Before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Pacers: O'Neal, Austin Crohill, Artest, Stephen Jackson, Jamal Hunsley.

Suns: Lee Ba, Marion, Battier, Tony Allen, Barbosa.

First off, meet in the hallway.

"Hey, Jermaine, how many years are left on your contract?" Li Ba asked when we met.

"There are still five years. Hammer, why ask this?" O'Neal Jr. laughed.

"Damn it, it seems that it will take five years for you to join the Suns with a basic salary." Li Ba said regretfully.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, what kind of person is this? O'Neal scored 24.3+8.8 last season and is still at his peak. How could he join the Suns with a basic salary?

"Hammer, my contract is over, and I won't join the Suns with a basic salary." O'Neal Jr. said with a dark face.

"Why?" Li Ba asked in surprise.

"Because I want to be the boss, and I will always be the boss." Little O'Neill said.

Li Ba laughed and didn't hit O'Neill anymore. You're going to get hurt now, and you'll be traded sooner or later. What are you thinking about, boss, wouldn't it be nice to hug my thigh earlier?

Looking away, I happened to see the old acquaintance Wu Sheng Stephen Jackson, who took the initiative to look away.

In the past, Ron Artest, but unfamiliar, did not say hello, and the other two were unknown players, let alone said hello.

At this time, the game came out, and the two sides entered the rhythm of the game.

"Fuck them!"

"Fuck them to death!"

Before playing, in front of the Suns bench, there was another slogan that made the opponent angry, and then the whole audience started to shout together.

Jump ball, Jermaine O'Neal wins, Pacers attack.

Jermaine O'Neal wanted to go to the basket, but was blocked by Li Bading, unable to make an inch.

O'Neal is also very strong, but the tonnage is too small, only 103 kilograms, and the quality of strength is not as good as that of Li Ba.

After catching the ball, Xiao Ao tried to turn around and slip to attack the basket, but he didn't push Li Ba, so he gave up the desire to attack the basket and directly turned around and stepped back to make a jump shot.

Li Ba is too familiar with Xiao Ao. He knows that his low back attack is only two moves. If he can't attack the basket, he must turn around and take a step back. But his balance will have problems.

This kind of jumper with small steps back should not be too easy when it comes to his current shot-blocking ability.

"Snapped!"

Li Ba directly slapped the ball and slapped the ball to the sideline.

Xiao Ao was a little confused, is this a hat?

"Jermaine, you are the boss, you have to continue to ask for the ball, continue to shoot, this is your responsibility." Li Ba persuaded.

Xiao Ao nodded.

The face of Artest nearby was completely black, damn hammer, are you trying to kill him?

"Jermaine, you can't listen to him, you have to reduce your shots and defend with all your strength, that's what the coach said." He said hastily.

"Ron, shut up! I know what I should do." Xiao Ao said dissatisfiedly.

The boss refused to listen to the persuasion, and Artest couldn't talk anymore, but he glared at Li Ba.

Li Ba asked suspiciously: "Hey, boy, are you dissatisfied with me?"

Artest's face twitched wildly, I was in the show in 1999, you actually called me a kid?

"Tie Hammer, don't target my younger brother. If you want to teach them a lesson, I will do it myself, and it's not your turn." Xiao Ao said dissatisfiedly.

Artest was speechless.

Li Ba laughed, Xiao Ao is good, he really has the qualifications to be the boss.

At this time, the Pacers served again, with 9 seconds left.

Xiao Ao asked for the ball again.

Jamal stopped Seeley and didn't dare not give it, and passed the ball in again.

At this moment, Li Ba suddenly rushed sideways, stretched his long arms, cut into the passing line in an instant, and intercepted the ball with his palm.

"Beautiful! The hammer broke the ball... passed it... Barbosa caught the ball and put it down... Susley is chasing...passing the ball...yeah!"

The Suns commentator immediately started roaring.

The Suns played two-on-one in the frontcourt. Tony Allen caught up with Barbosa's quick down, and after receiving the pass, he made a layup.

0:2, the Suns lead at home.

Pacers attack.

"Jermaine, do as I say!" coach Rick Carlisle yelled.

He was a little scratching his head, Reggie Miller retired, the leader of the locker room was gone, and there was no pressure on Xiao Ao's head, so he was not easy to control!

He saw Xiao Ao went to the low post again and started to ask for the ball again, so he had to shout again: "Jermaine, get farther away."

This time Xiao Ao was obedient and took another step outside, one step away from the paint area.

Pointing to the basket, Carlisle gestured to the others, indicating that they were ready to grab a rebound.

Xiao Ao's shooting range is very long, and he can shoot within the three-point line, but his shooting percentage is not high, not reaching 40%, and there is no guarantee of rebounding. Let him shoot, the more he shoots, the more he will lose.

Xiao Ao got the ball and stopped for a while according to the old habit.

At this moment, Li Ba exerted all of his strength suddenly, pushing forward with his chest.

After Xiao Ao stopped, he suddenly turned around and took a step back.

But at this moment, a huge force surged from behind, pushing his center of gravity and interrupting his rhythm at the same time, so he didn't jump up.

"Beep!"

The referee blows his whistle to signal to move.

Xiao Ao glared at Li Ba, the damn hammer, always sneaking around behind and doing nothing good.

Rick Carlisle was shaking his head again. With Jermaine's offensive ability, facing that guy's terrifying defense, it was too difficult to score!

But he couldn't do anything about Xiao Ao.

Originally, he wanted Xiao Ao to concentrate on defense and contain the hammer, but Xiao Ao wanted to attack and entered the field. Who can stop him?

There was no other way but to let him eat a few more big hats with the hammer, and then he was quiet.

In the next few minutes, as Carlisle expected, Li Ba gave Jermaine 2 caps and 1 steal. In half a quarter, Jerome swallowed him 3 caps and 2 steals, and his anger disappeared.

After the game was changed, Xiao Ao sat there with a dark face, listless.

Li Ba shook his head secretly, human nature is hard to change, Xiao Ao is Xiao Ao, his emotions are too difficult to control.

Without Jermaine O'Neal, the Pacers had no way to fight back under the Suns. The Suns led by 15 points in the first quarter.

Even if Xiao Ao played in the second quarter, with his personality, he couldn't play against the wind. When Li Ba played again in the third quarter, he directly defeated the Pacers in one quarter.

82:101, the Suns won by 19 points.
