Chapter 686: Practical Training with Lewis

James' expression was obviously serious, he even stopped, thought for a moment and said: "This is my third season with him, during the rookie season and last season's regular season, I had the idea of ​​comparing with him , but since last season's playoffs, he has been my target. This season, his performance... averaged double 20+5*5 per game, which is even more unbelievable."

"Will you catch up with him?"

"I will not lack confidence." James said this and left.

At this time Li Ba passed by, and the reporters found him again.

"Hammer, LeBron James said you are his target, how do you feel?" A reporter immediately asked.

Li Ba said as he walked, "The feeling of being chased by a child? I don't have candy in my hand, why is he chasing me?"

Hearing this sentence, James, who was a few steps ahead, had the idea of ​​turning around and confronting Li Ba.

The halftime timeout ended, the game resumed, and the Cavaliers attacked.

The basic tactics of the Cavaliers are still the tactics in the second half of the first quarter. Big Z holds Li Ba in the high position, James hits the basket, and the others open up.

In general, this tactic can score, but the success rate is still lower than the efficiency of the normal basket attack, at most about 50%.

To say that the shooting percentage is 50%, if it is all this kind of offense, it must be very high, but James is not an iron man after all, and it is impossible for the whole court to attack the basket guarded by Li Ba. One, take a breath.

In this way, the comprehensive hit rate has been pulled down, and it is just under 40%.

The Suns' outside shooting percentage is just over 40%, but coupled with Li Ba's defense and strong control of rebounds, the situation is very stable, that is, the Suns continue to expand the point difference.

After the whole game, 80:106, the Suns won by 26 points.

Under the strong defensive pressure of the Suns, the Cavaliers performed very steadily and never found a chance to win.

James left the field in the 6th minute of the 4th quarter. In 42 minutes, he made 13 of 28 shots and 5 of 8 free throws. He scored 31 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 7 turnovers and 3 fouls.

Li Ba and James went off together. In 30 minutes, he made 8 of 8 shots and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 20 points, 24 rebounds, 5 assists, 7 steals, 9 blocks, 1 turnover and 1 foul.

"Double 20+5*5 again, with such terrifying data in 30 minutes, Hammer, he will hit 5 pairs sooner or later in a game."

Barkley shook his head and sighed while holding Li Ba's data.

Kenny Smith had the same expression, and he said, "If he played all the games tonight, he might have already won it."

"It's possible. I'm curious, isn't he a brush? Why not?" Barkley asked suspiciously.

"Aren't you afraid that the hammer will fight you?" Kenny Smith asked curiously.

Barkley's face changed, and he immediately waved his fist, and said with a firm mouth: "My fist is not vegetarian either."

Li Ba was interviewed at the scene.

"Hammer, you gave James 5 caps and 4 steals tonight, do you have anything to say to him?"

A local reporter asked with a smile.

"He is very strong and won't need my comfort." Li Ba said seriously.

James was being interviewed not far away. Hearing Li Ba's words, he turned around and shouted at Li Ba:

"Hey, Hammer, I flew over your head countless times tonight, and scored 4 dunks. I don't think you need my consolation, do you?"

"LeBron, next time I will give you 10 caps and 8 steals." Li Ba shouted back.

At the subsequent press conference, someone asked James: "LeBron, who will you support this season's MVP?"

James thought for a while, looked at Li Ba next to him, and said: "Although the season has not passed halfway, someone has hit unprecedented numbers, and the team's record is still very good. If there is still controversy about the MVP of last season, then this season, I don't think there will be controversy."

"Hammer, do you agree with what James said?" the reporter asked.

"I think he should speak more clearly. I don't know who he's talking about." After Li Ba finished speaking, he shouted to James:

"Hey boy, who are you talking about?"

"It's not you anyway." James said angrily.

"Haha!" Everyone laughed.

The next night, Li Ba brought the girl to the boxing training room.

Not only the original trainers, Arum and Mrs. Liz, but also Gao Yuanyuan, Bill Duffy, and even Colangelo, Suns owner Savor, and head coach Frank all arrived.

Tonight's actual combat is also a test, which will ultimately determine what level Li Ba's opponent will be.

"Hopefully nothing goes wrong."

Colangelo has said this sentence several times, he really doesn't want to see Li Ba step into the ring.

Both Savore and Frank nodded, they had the same attitude, and neither of them wanted to see Li Ba go to boxing.

Rose introduced Li Ba's real opponent, Lennox Lewis, a great boxing champion with the same reputation as Tyson and Holyfield.

Lewis is the British black boxing champion. He was born in 1965 and is under 40 this year. He retired last year.

But he still maintains professional training and is in good condition all the time. This is the reason why Arum chose him as Li Ba's actual opponent.

Lewis is 196 centimeters tall and weighs 240 pounds, almost 109 kilograms, 10 centimeters shorter and 6 kilograms lighter than Li Ba.

His wingspan is 213 cm, which is a bit big.

Lewis is very humble and reserved off the court, with a gentlemanly demeanor and a low-key personality, but his nickname is Lion.

From this nickname, it can be seen that his boxing and boxing style are very sturdy.

He is the super heavyweight gold medalist of the Seoul Olympics, the heavyweight champion of the world's four major boxing organizations WBC, IBF, WBA, and IBO, and a veritable world boxing champion.

In 1999, in the 12 rounds, he defeated the world-renowned boxing champion Holyfield by points, and won three world gold belts from Holyfield.

In 2002, he knocked down the famous world boxing champion Michael Tyson in eight rounds and successfully defended his title.

In 2003, he took six rounds to defeat Klitschko, the king of contemporary heavyweight boxing in the limelight (judged to lose due to injury, this battle is controversial), and then officially announced his retirement in 2004, that is, last year .

After he retired, the world's heavyweight boxing lost its color, and the games of giant boxers were far less exciting.

In short, Lewis is one of the greatest heavyweight champions in world boxing.

In his career, he has defeated all opponents, and he is the person who has defeated the most former boxing champions and active boxing champions. His boxing quality is very high. He is the last unified heavyweight boxing champion at the end of the world. King, this is what he is most proud of.

It was also after he retired that Klitschko began to really dominate the heavyweight boxing world.

Arum paid a high price to invite Lewis, because he wanted to see Li Ba's strength clearly, arrange the most suitable opponent, and fight the best cross-border battle.

If the opponent chosen is too bad, the gimmick of this cross-border battle must not be enough.
