Chapter 1119 We Will Definitely Achieve a Crushing Victory

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Li Ba made an appointment with Dayao and Arab League and drove to the team headquarters together.

The team owner is still Robert Sarver, and together with David Griffin and other management, Li Ba accompanied Li Ba to the training ground.

"Hey, look, our big tennis star is here!" Tony Allen shouted in a strange voice when he saw Li Ba coming.

After everyone gathered around, Li Ba introduced his new teammate Dayao. After a while of greetings, he asked: "Where's Iverson? He's not here yet?"

"No, boss, he is a super star." Tony Allen said with some dissatisfaction.

Li Ba looked at the others. No one spoke for Iverson?

Dayao scratched his head from behind. There won't be internal strife, right?

But thinking about Iverson's current situation, there is no possibility of internal strife in the Suns. Moreover, even Iverson at his peak would probably not be able to compete with Li Ba in the Suns. He was relieved again.

Payton smiled and said: "The current Iverson is no longer the former Iverson, but the training situation is still the same. He has not participated in a single training. Hammer, there is nothing I can do, you have to solve this problem , He will affect the atmosphere of the team.”

"I'll talk to him."

Li Ba took out his cell phone and dialed Iverson's cell phone.

"Hey, Hammer, I'm almost there." The phone was connected and Iverson's voice rang.

Li Ba walked to the side and said seriously: "Alan, stop the car, I want to talk to you."

Iverson, who was driving over there, was startled, thought for a moment, said OK, and parked the car on the side of the road.

"Allen, you know very well what the purpose of coming to the Suns is, right?" Li Ba said.

"certainly."

"Then I hope you will help me to defend the championship this season."

"Yes, yes, that's what I want to do." Iverson said excitedly.

"But now, Allen, your habits are destroying the Phoenix Suns' usual team atmosphere." Li Ba said bluntly.

Iverson was startled, feeling humiliated in his heart.

When he came to the Suns, Payton considered the issue of running-in and asked him to participate in the preseason. He did not refuse, but he felt that everyone in the team did not welcome him. Now the Hammers say this again, why is this?

Li Ba continued: "No one in our Suns team can miss training, including me. This is also the most important reason why our Suns team can win the championship four times in five years.

Allen, if you want to win the championship and you want to help me defend the title, then I hope you can fulfill your responsibilities as a player and participate in the team's training on time. What do you think? "

"Training again?"

Iverson has a headache. What he hates most is training. He doesn't need to train at all. Training is of no use to him. He just needs to play and he can perform. This is his talent.

"If...hammer, if..."

He said tentatively, but before he finished speaking, Li Ba interrupted him and said:

"Allen, there are no ifs. If you choose the championship, you must come to the team on time to participate in training. If not, that is your freedom, but the team has team rules."

Iverson's face was twitching, and he felt the strength of the hammer.

"Okay, Hammer, I'll give it a try." He said helplessly.

"Try?"

Li Ba was surprised. Does Iverson have such low requirements for himself?

"Aaron, you can try, but my advice is, don't try. When you want to try, failure is already doomed."

After Li Ba finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

He gave the opportunity. If Iverson doesn't cherish it, he can't do anything about it. Let him decide for himself about freedom and the championship.

"David, Gary, if Iverson can't do what he should do, you do whatever you want to do." He said to David Griffin and Gary Payton.

The two nodded, and Griffin said: "Iron Hammer, now that we have Yao inside, do you think we still need to trade inside players?"

Li Ba shook his head and said, "That's enough."

Turning around, he said to his teammates: "It's time for the press conference. Let me first clarify the goals for the new season within the team..."

"Defending the title!" Tony Allen shouted.

"Haha, yes, it's just defending the title." Li Ba said with a smile.

He then added: "Don't think too much about Iverson's problem. You can't discount what you should do. Whoever makes a problem will be punished. You all know the rules. We are all old people, so I won't say more. I One thing to emphasize is, don’t slack off, absolutely don’t slack off.”

Ten minutes later, before the press conference began, Iverson rushed to the team.

"Alan, long time no see."

"Hey Hammer."

Li Ba took the initiative to say hello, and the two exchanged a few words.

At ten o'clock, the press conference begins.

"Hammer, it goes without saying that the goal for the new season is to defend the title. So which team do you think will challenge the Suns?"

an ESPN reporter asked.

Li Ba smiled and said: "The Heat got LeBron James and assembled the new Big Three lineup, which is very interesting. However, all the strong teams, including the Heat, want to challenge us, and I think they are still far away."

"Why?" the reporter asked.

Li Ba shook his head and laughed: "Isn't this a matter of course?"

"..." The reporter was speechless.

"Iron Hammer, do you think the Suns will have a giant lineup in the new season?" a reporter asked.

"Of course, Yao played like a superstar in the playoffs last season, so he is definitely a giant." Li Ba said with a smile.

"Now the media generally doubts Yao's condition after his comeback. The Suns signed him with a middle-class contract, and it was only a one-year contract, not a big contract. I think this is the reason? The Suns have no confidence in his condition." The reporter said.

Li Ba said lightly: "I have confidence."

"..."

The reporter was speechless, Iron Hammer, do you think you are a god?

"Then what about Iverson? He should be considered another giant, right?" another reporter asked.

Li Ba glanced at Iverson and smiled: "Allen is definitely a super giant, and he will always be. He joined us with a minimum salary, and we welcome him. He is the most important member of our bench and the sixth man of the team."

Iverson didn't say much. This was agreed before signing the contract. He could only play as the sixth man of the team. For the ring, he accepted it.

The reporter seemed to be an Iverson fan, and said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "But Allen was still the main starter for the Pistons last season, and he is still in good shape."

Li Ba smiled and said: "Sir, look carefully, this is the Suns, we are the defending champion team, not a bad team like the Pistons."

Ignoring the reporter, he glanced at the many media and said confidently: "This season, our Suns are destined to be the only team to stand out, and we can definitely achieve a crushing record."
