Chapter 991 Trading O’Neal

Gao Yuanyuan and Bill Duffy were the busiest, busy looking for targets among some high school students who were invited to participate in training for free.

The difference this time is that many people in the boxing world have signed up. There are always dozens of people. The weakest ones are all quasi-first-class boxers, and there are many first-class boxers.

Including several world boxing champions, such as Pacquiao and Mayweather, GGG, and even Klitschko contributed US$50,000 to Li Ba.

Top athletes from the basketball and professional boxing worlds gathered at Li Ba's training camp, which caused a sensation all over the world. Once again, Li Ba and his fly-catching training camp dominated sports headlines around the world.

"Boss."

Rajon Rondo, who came to the training camp, saw Li Ba and shouted quickly.

"Rajan, how was your stay at Celtic? Do you want to come back?" Li Ba asked with a smile.

"Is there any chance I can come back?" Rajan asked in surprise.

"I don't know, let's wait and see. By the way, how is your shooting practice going?" Li Ba asked.

Rajan said awkwardly: "My hands are too big, boss. I really can't practice shooting."

"Your hands are bigger than mine?"

Li Ba slapped Rondo on the face, making him invisible.

Rondo moved his head away in embarrassment and said, "But boss, I'm good at layups and throws now. Last season, my shooting percentage at the basket was over 60%."

"How many times did you take action in total? Six times? Are you embarrassed to tell me?" Li Ba said angrily.

"Pfft!" Parker, who was passing by, laughed.

Li Ba saw the little sports car and asked, "Tony, you're here too? Are you still with the Lakers?"

"Yes, Hammer." Parker said.

"Didn't Coach Popovich call you?" Li Ba smiled.

Shaking his head, Parker said: "We talked about it, but I'm doing pretty well with the Lakers."

"What do you want to improve when you join my training camp?" Li Ba asked.

"Of course it's defense. I hope to increase my one-on-one defensive capabilities." Parker said.

"One-on-one? Then the front-facing fly-catching training is the first thing you should do, because it will speed up your front-facing first step, your hands will be more accurate, and your attention will be easier to concentrate. Overall, it will make you The instant burst is stronger and faster.

But don’t neglect other aspects. For example, the fly-catching training behind you can make you turn around faster and catch up with your opponent faster once you are broken through. "Li Ba said.

"Hey, Hammer?" Marion shouted from the side.

"Sean, how about being with Stephen in the Grizzlies?" Li Ba went over and asked with a smile.

"We're not bad." Marion smiled.

"That's good." Li Ba smiled.

"Hey, Hammer." Someone shouted from behind.

"Gary? I heard you joined our coaching staff?" It turned out to be Payton, Li Ba said with a smile.

"Yes, I took a year off after retiring, and I'm back this season." Payton said with a smile.

"That's good. As a coach, you can get some more rings." Li Ba said with a smile.

Payton laughed and nodded repeatedly.

Li Ba turned around and felt that this training camp was a social occasion off the court. Players who usually separated after the game had a platform to communicate with each other here.

In addition to guiding these people in training, Li Ba took time to talk with Sarver and new general manager David Griffin.

Griffin's trade is not progressing smoothly. The official training camp is about to start, and the preseason is about to start, but the team's lineup is not complete.

He handed Li Ba a team roster. Li Ba looked at it and thought he could barely play.

Insider: Li Ba, O'Neal, David Lee, Boris Diaw, Antonio McDyess, Marc Gasol.

Outside: Tony Allen, Manu Ginobili, Kevin Martin, Delonte West, Grant Hill, Sean Singletary.

This is a twelve-man roster, all with contracts.

Among them, Singletary is this year's second-round pick, a point guard, who signed a 1+1 basic salary.

In this lineup, first of all, the defense of the bench lineup is missing, and it is fully equipped with internal and external lines.

The main lineup is okay inside, and the second and third positions on the outside are okay. The point guard position depends on West's performance, so it's hard to say.

"David, have you talked to the shark?"

"Yes, he insisted on the main center position."

"Then trade him." Li Ba said.

Griffin's mouth opened wide. He didn't know that Li Ba was a shareholder, and Li Ba didn't interfere in the team's operations before. Will he interfere now?

He looked at Savor next to him, who nodded without saying anything.

Sarver couldn't possibly have a problem. The team's season ticket sales had just ended, and he was too excited about the situation.

Season tickets plummeted last season, but they have completely recovered their lost ground this season, which shows that Li Ba's influence and box office appeal in Phoenix are still extremely strong.

The boss agreed, and Griffin had nothing to say. He tentatively said: "Hammer, if you play the fourth position, Tony Allen is the third position, Ginobili is the second position, and West is the one position, Is this the main lineup?"

Li Ba shook his head and said: "Both he and I need enough space, we can't coexist."

Griffin nodded and said: "I did consider trading O'Neal, but no team can accept his big contract now. I will trade as much as possible. There is still a target. So, do you have any suggestions for other positions? "

"It would be best if the No. 1 position could be strengthened," Li Ba said.

"Okay, I try to finish the work before the start of the regular season. If not, I can only do it during the season." Griffin said.

Li Ba said at this time: "Let me first talk about the goal of this season. It is not to perform poorly. My team can never perform poorly. This is the bottom line."

Sarver and Griffin opened their mouths. They wanted to take a chance on the No. 1 pick in 2009, but it was ruined.

Sarver nodded and said: "Since you have confidence in Hammer, let's set a goal for the next season. Should we still win the championship?"

"Of course, if I don't win the championship, why should I come back? If I want to make money, I can just go boxing. A game costs hundreds of millions. One or two fights a year are enough for my wife and children. Isn't it better than playing basketball?" Li Badao.

Savor and Griffin only felt toothache after hearing this.

After the three of them ended their meeting, Li Ba called O'Neill.

At this time, O'Neal was on vacation in Miami. After receiving the call, he said: "Hammer, you guy, did you tell me that I was traded?"

Li Ba smiled and said: "Good news, you have not been traded."

"So what's the bad news?" O'Neill said angrily.

"You are being traded." Li Ba said.

"Shet!" O'Neal cursed.

"Shaq, I'm sorry, we can't play at the same time." Li Ba said.

"I understand, you bastard!" O'Neill cursed and hung up the phone.
