Chapter 998 The Emperor's Despair

Zhang Lili laughed and said: "I have retired for a year. In this first game of comeback, I must put up good statistics."

"There are a little less assists. This quarter is the main attack." Xu Jicheng said with a smile.

Zhang Lianda said: "Although Bowen is double-teaming the Hammers, Rondo is playing really well now and can use his open position to help the Hammers break the double-team. Although it is a loss to replace Rondo with O'Neal, it is a profit from the lineup point of view." ”

In the second quarter, the Suns were paired with Boris Diaw and Marc Gasol on the inside, and Grant Hill, Kevin Martin, and Delonte West on the outside.

In the Suns' bench, both insiders have offensive abilities and their defense is pretty good.

Marc Gasol served as O'Neal's substitute last season. He played a lot of minutes and averaged 11+8 per game. This makes him the main center among other average playoff teams.

Diaw didn't have many opportunities last season. He scored 9+4+4 in 28 minutes, which was actually pretty good. He had offense, assists and rebounds.

On the outside, Hill and Martin have good offensive abilities, but they are weak on defense.

On the Spurs' side, Oden took a break and Beasley continued to play. The ball was his in this quarter.

At the 7th minute of the game, Li Ba asked to play. He ran up and played point guard for five minutes.

He didn't do any other work, grabbed 2 rebounds, sent 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block.

After half a quarter, at 30:56, the Suns led by 26 points, and the point difference continued to widen.

In the third quarter, Li Ba continued to play, and his opponent Oden also came on the court. He began to abuse Oden again.

After three quarters, Zhang Liyi shouted: "Popovich is too cruel. He doesn't treat Oden as a human being. He has been abused like this and he still won't let him end."

Yu Jia shouted: "In a single quarter, I was intercepted 4 times and blocked 3 shots by the Hammers. I got the ball 8 times and made 0 of 4 shots. This is really miserable."

Xu Jicheng laughed and said: "The Hammer is really cruel. He always waits for Oden to get the ball before he steals or blocks the shot. He does not cut off Oden's catch in advance. Is this cooperating with Popovich to train Oden? Or is it? Want to get a few blocks and steals?”

"It's all possible." Zhang Lili shouted.

As soon as the three of them finished speaking, they burst out laughing.

In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley read: "The Hammers made 10 of 10 shots in the third quarter and 4 of 7 free throws in 29 minutes of the third quarter. They scored 24 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists, 10 steals, 10 blocks, 1 turnover and 1 foul, 4 doubles. It’s done, does he want to have a 5-double?”

Kenny Smith said: "It should be that he can only get attention if he has a five-double. No one thinks he is anything special if he has a four-double."

"Shet!"

This sentence made many NBA superstars, superstars, and even Michael Jordan curse in front of the TV.

Kenny Smith continued: "It's a pity that the Suns' main lineup doesn't have much shooting ability from the outside, so it's useless if there are openings."

Barkley said: "Popovich continued to hone Oden in the third quarter, resulting in the same score as the first quarter. The score between the two teams is now 42:88. The Suns have led by 46 points, which has doubled. If the Spurs Will the Hammers return to the starting lineup?"

Kenny Smith said: "Yes, will the Hammer break his own bottom line and play in garbage time to increase data?"

"Let's see."

Barkley couldn't explain clearly. After thinking for a while, he said: "I would like him to improve his statistics. After all, not everyone has the ability to achieve five-doubles. The league has decades of history and basketball has been around the world for so many years. He is the only one who can do it." One person can achieve this. A person with great ability can achieve this, but someone as strong as Michael can only do it, and cannot achieve even four doubles or 5*5.”

At the end of the sentence, he couldn't help but complain about his old enemy Jordan.

"You deserve not to get the ring."

As the team owner, Jordan was also watching the Suns game at home at this time. When he heard Barkley's words, he couldn't help but complain.

On the Suns bench, head coach Scott was very excited.

General manager David Griffin also came here, looking equally excited.

Both of them have just taken office. If Li Ba can score a five-double today, they will also be proud.

Scott asked Li Ba: "Hammer, are you still going to play the last part?"

Li Ba smiled and said: "If their main force doesn't withdraw, I will attack."

"Boss, are you serious?" Tony Allen said in surprise.

Li Ba smiled and said: "Of course I'm serious. If the Spurs want to use me to hone their No. 1 pick, they have to pay the price."

The referee blows the whistle and the final quarter begins.

Li Ba looked towards the Spurs, good guy, Oden stood up again.

"oh!"

When everyone in the audience saw Li Ba standing up, they suddenly exclaimed, and then turned into huge cheers.

"If the Hammers record a five-double today, will Popovich regret letting Oden play again in the final quarter?" Barkley yelled.

"Needless to say steals and blocks, getting 4 assists in a single quarter is still a bit difficult given the Suns' ability."

Kenny Smith said.

The game starts and the Suns attack.

Li Ba didn't go to the basket, or even to the low post. He stood directly in the high post, at the free throw line, asking Rondo for the ball.

In this position, his shooting percentage can still reach nearly 70% (when taking very few shots), and this is still with defense, so he is still a great threat here and cannot be left open.

Oden followed the high defense and defended below to prevent Li Ba from directly rushing to the basket after receiving the ball.

He was beaten by Li Ba today, really beaten, including block and rob, nearly 20 times, he had no spirit at all, his face was a little pale, he dared not look into Li Ba's eyes.

"Stay close, Greg, he is nothing great, you should be tougher on him. Remember, this is the NBA, not the NCAA, you have to learn to be tough here, tough at all costs."

On the sidelines, another Greg shouted at Oden.

This made everyone who heard it complain in their hearts, being tough on the hammer, that guy just blew Michael Tyson's head, ask the whole league, who dares to be tough on him at all costs?

As soon as Li Ba reached the high position, the basket was empty, and David Lee immediately cut into the basket from the low right wing.

At this time, Rondo passed the ball, Li Ba received the ball facing the top of the arc, without stopping, backhanded the ball at Oden's feet, hit the ground pass, and passed it in.

Oden was extremely surprised, passing the ball like this, aren't you afraid of mistakes?

He turned around quickly and saw David Lee take the ball and jump up to send the ball into the basket.

"The 7th assist!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

Turning back to the Spurs' attack, Li Ba directly let Oden enter the basket.

No one double-teamed Oden. He shook the ball after taking it, then stood up and made a small hook shot.

"Snap!"

Another big block.

"Hohoho..."

His breathing was extremely heavy, and Oden was a little desperate. He could even block a hook shot. Is the current No. 1 player in the NBA so terrifying? The feeling of despair made his back hunched down, and he looked more and more like an old man.
