Chapter 1014 Heat Collapse

LeBron called and asked, "Hammer, do you really want to leave the Suns?"

Li Ba said in surprise, "Why do you think so? Didn't the media say that the management wanted to trade me?"

"Come on, everyone knows that you have a special trade veto. If you don't want to leave, who can trade you?" LeBron said.

"Maybe someone forgot." Li Ba laughed.

"Is it really the management's fault?" LeBron said in surprise.

"Of course, I'm doing well here, and I don't want to move easily." Li Ba said.

Then came Wade, who said in a low mood, "Hammer, did Riley take the initiative to seek a trade?"

"Don't be silly, rookie, you are just a commodity, and you will be put on the shelf when you have no use value." Li Ba comforted.

"This is only my sixth season, I'm not old yet, I've just entered my peak period, and I can still play for at least several years." Wade said angrily.

"Rookie, look at O'Neal and Iverson, where are they wandering now? So you are just a commodity. If you don't complete the transaction this time, you should also be prepared to be traded at any time." Li Ba continued to comfort him.

"You are just a commodity." Wade yelled and hung up the phone.

Li Ba laughed and his phone rang again.

"Damn, there are so many calls, the battery is almost out of power."

He muttered, saw that it was from O'Neal, and answered it.

"Hahaha..."

As soon as the phone was connected, O'Neal's crazy laughter came into his ears.

After waiting for a minute, the fat man was still laughing, and Li Ba cursed: "Be careful or you will die of laughter!"

"Hahaha, Hammer, you will also be traded?" O'Neal laughed.

"Isn't I not traded?" Li Ba cursed.

"One day you will be traded." O'Neal yelled.

"Do you think I will be like you and stay here when I am old? I will leave after a few more seasons, just watch." Li Ba sneered.

O'Neal choked and was stunned. After a long time, he said, "Do you really plan to play only a few seasons? You have such a good physical fitness and no injuries..."

"Do you think I can only play basketball like you? I want to learn from Lao Zhang and develop in all aspects." Li Ba said unhappily.

After hanging up O'Neal's phone, Zhang Heli called again. He was very anxious. After the call, he immediately shouted:

"Hammer, Hammer, are the Suns really going to trade you? Is the management crazy? This bunch of bastards, they don't do their work all day long. The head coach is worse than me, and the general manager is also incompetent. They can't even find someone who can shoot on the outside. They are just eating and drinking."

Li Ba laughed.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Sarver came to Li Ba's house and explained the matter in person.

He wanted to let Li Ba know that he was against this transaction from the beginning.

"Hammer, I plan to replace Griffin. I know you are not satisfied with Scott either. It's a good opportunity to replace them together. What do you think?"

After explaining, Sarver asked.

"Robert, I don't want to interfere with the general manager's affairs. As for Scott, if you have a better candidate, I don't care." Li Ba said.

"OK, I understand." Savor said.

The next day, on the day of the game with the Heat, the Suns announced that head coach Scott was fired and assistant coach Gary Payton would temporarily take over the head coach position.

Then, the media broke another big news about the Suns.

Scott was fired and was furious. He broke the news to the media that Li Ba interfered with the positions of head coach and general manager. His dismissal was the result of Li Ba's interference.

This revelation pushed Li Ba to the forefront.

It is a taboo in the league for players to interfere with the operation of the head coach and management. The media seized on Li Ba's revelation and began to hype it up crazily, blackening Li Ba into coal.

The general managers and head coaches of the league's teams also reacted strongly to this. Many people accepted media interviews and accused Li Ba of his behavior.

However, none of the team's owners appeared to talk about this matter. When asked by the media, they did not express their opinions.

These owners have not forgotten Li Ba's other identity, the Suns' small boss. What's so strange about him interfering with the team's operations? But this matter is confidential and cannot be leaked, so they can't say it.

Sarver has smashed several cups in his team headquarters office. Scott was scolded by him like a dog, but Scott couldn't hear it. He wanted to call that bastard back and scold him.

In the evening, game time.

"Hammer, don't leave Phoenix!"

"Let Sarver leave!"

"Let Griffin get out!"

When Li Ba entered the court, the whole audience shouted his name.

Sarver was not downstairs, hiding in the VIP room upstairs. Hearing the fans below shouting for him to get out, he was very troubled. Who did he offend?

He wanted to drag all the teams in the league into the water, publish those offer sheets, and let all teams help the Suns attract attention, but he didn't dare to offend all the teams. He was afraid that he really couldn't stay in the league.

Li Ba passed by the Heat bench and smiled at Pat Riley.

Pat Riley laughed dryly.

He shot himself in the foot and it didn't end well for him. The deal was leaked, and the Big Three knew his plan. Their attitude towards him has changed a bit, and they just ignored him. This season for the Heat is over, the morale of the team has been lost, and this lineup of the Big Three has to be dismantled.

In this game, the morale of both teams was not stable, but the Suns had Li Ba, who had outstanding leadership ability and united the morale of the team on the spot. They defeated the demoralized Heat 84:109 and won their 15th victory, which was also the fourth consecutive victory recently.

Li Ba played a super luxurious data of 30+20+5*5+4 doubles, with double blocks and steals. If it weren't for the unstable state of his teammates and the lack of assists, it would be another five-double.

"The Heat are finished!"

After watching this game, many people had this idea at the same time.

"Pat, we have become a player supermarket."

Before Pat Riley returned to Miami, the team informed him that a large number of teams had sent offers for the Big Three, and the agents of the Big Three had contacted the team and asked the team to trade them.

"Alas!"

Pat Riley sighed, stealing the chicken but losing the rice!

The Suns did not let the Heat go either, and sent an offer sheet for Ray Allen, using Tony Allen and Kevin Martin as bargaining chips.

Pat Riley was irritated with the Suns. If you don't want to trade, why did you expose me? He directly asked the management to reject the Suns' offer.

David Griffin, who continued to stay, also took up a small hoe to atone for his sins and directly contacted Ray Allen, hoping that Ray Allen would put pressure on the Heat management.

Unfortunately, Ray was not that kind of person. Although he also wanted to leave, he did not agree and only let the Suns trade with the Heat management.

On the last day of November, the Suns defeated the Nets at home and won a record of 16 wins and 2 losses, ranking third in the West.
