Chapter 1197 Grizzlies Collapse

Grizzlies offense.

The inside line doesn't dare to ask for the ball anymore, the outside line doesn't dare to get close to the top of the arc anymore, and when it comes to wing attacks, it doesn't dare to get too close to the paint area.

In order to prevent being defended by Li Ba, the Grizzlies also attacked at a very fast pace, which seemed to be in a hurry, and their shooting percentage was affected.

Coupled with the lack of inside offense and weak rebounding, the Grizzlies showed an obvious weakness overall.

At the end of the first quarter, at 14:34, the Suns led by 20 points at home.

Li Ba made 3 of 3 shots and 2 of 3 free throws in a single quarter, scoring 8 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, 5 blocks, and 1 foul.

On the bench, Li Ba said to Payton: "Gary, I'll play in the second quarter."

Payton was stunned for a moment, but nodded immediately.

In the second quarter, Li Ba came on the field and played the No. 1 position.

The Grizzlies attacked, Rudy Gay hit a three-pointer, and the score difference was 17 points, which gave the Grizzlies a breath of relief.

Looking back, Li Ba advanced with the ball.

He was looking at the Grizzlies' basket at the top of the arc, where there were two Grizzlies substitute insiders, and in front of him was Harden.

Starting, Li Ba got past Harden in the first step and headed towards the basket with the ball.

Approaching the basket, Li Ba changed direction and then stood up.

"Bang!"

"boom!"

The Grizzlies substitute player at position 4 took off to block the shot, but was knocked over by Li Ba in the air. When he fell to the basket, the Grizzlies basket was hit by a super dunk.

Looking back, Li Ba stole Harden, took advantage of the situation and hit the rim again.

The Grizzlies attack again.

Harden made a fake shot but was directly blocked by Li Ba.

In the second quarter, Harden and the two substitute insiders were unable to stop Li Ba from breaking through with the ball. Li Ba was overwhelmed throughout the quarter. The two substitute insiders each committed four fouls. Harden fouled twice and Li Ba made 11 shots. 8 of 8, 6 of 10 free throws, and 22 points in a single quarter.

At the same time, Li Ba defeated Harden on the defensive end, giving Harden 4 steals and 2 blocks in a single quarter. He also grabbed 3 rebounds and provided 2 assists.

At halftime, 39:70, the Suns led by 31 points.

Li Ba made 11 of 14 shots in the half, 8 of 13 free throws, and scored 30 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 8 steals, 7 blocks, 1 turnover, and 2 fouls, a 5*5 score.

Before halftime was over, Barkley said: "The Grizzlies' attitude made the Hammers angry. He will definitely hit a five-double today and nail the Grizzlies on the five-double backdrop."

The two teams returned to the locker room, and Li Ba was surrounded by the media.

"A question." Li Ba raised his right index finger.

"Hammer, if the Grizzlies give up this game, will you continue to play?" An ESPN reporter reacted the fastest and asked loudly immediately.

"certainly."

Li Ba spit out this word, then separated from everyone and left.

At the beginning of the second half, Nash returned and Li Ba returned to the fifth position.

In this quarter, Li Ba did not focus on offense, but on defense, continuing to seal the Grizzlies' interior offense while controlling rebounds.

At the end of the third quarter, 60:100, the Suns led by 40 points.

Li Ba completed a quadruple-double, scoring 35 points, 18 rebounds, 7 assists, 11 steals, 10 blocks, 1 turnover and 3 fouls.

In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies came on the bench.

But Li Ba still stood up and walked onto the court.

Suns fans gave a huge cheer, except for some away fans.

"The hammer still has to hit, and he does what he says. He will nail the Grizzlies to the backdrop with five pairs." Barkley roared excitedly.

In this section, Li Ba serves as point guard.

In the fifth minute, the five-double was achieved, and the whole audience was shocked.

"Congratulations to the Hammers, you have completed the 10th five-double in the league and the 11th five-double in the world." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"Okay, there's another team on the five-double background board." Barkley smiled.

"Congratulations to the league as well. The ratings of this game have created history. It exceeded 130 million." Kenny Smith smiled.

After the game, the media interviewed Li Ba.

"Hammer, what are your thoughts on the G3 game?" a reporter asked.

"Everything continues." Li Ba said briefly.

"What do you mean?" the reporter asked.

"Everything." Li Ba said.

After the Mayo incident, there was a lot of public opinion supporting Mayo and the Grizzlies. One of the arguments is that Li Ba's performance in this regular season has indeed declined a bit, so Mayo's words are right.

But this Wushuang slapped this argument to death.

Some public opinion said that although Li Ba had a five-double, it did not mean that his condition had not declined, and this five-double was achieved through brushing up.

But most basketball fans do not support this voice, because in the basketball world, five-doubles represent the highest, enough to crush everything. If you are not convinced, you can also find someone to try to get a five-double. Unfortunately, no one can do it. come out.

The next day, the Suns arrived in Memphis.

Here, Li Ba encountered opposition from some extreme fans.

Li Ba still had a tough attitude towards the media. He said: "Things must have an outcome, and we will all make a choice."

His tough attitude forced Stern to a point where he had to react.

On the 21st, Stern met with Grizzlies owner Pera at the league headquarters in New York.

The two of them communicated on the matter while watching the G3 game between the two teams.

In this battle, Li Ba once again went for a five-double. At halftime, he once again posted 5*5 data.

"Robert Sarver called for a board meeting. Robert, what do you think the outcome will be?" Stern asked.

"David, I can't help it. There is too much pressure from public opinion. I can't do that. This is not a team's problem." Pera said with some frustration.

Stern fell silent.

He knew that the problem was complicated and that the alliance was caught in a whirlpool.

But he knew that this was actually because the pressure was not so great that Pera bowed her head.

An hour later, the G3 game ended, and Li Ba once again hit a five-double.

The two of them stared blankly at the TV, filled with emotions.

"Don't you want to change your decision?" Stern asked again.

Perla thought for a moment and shook her head.

At this time, the live TV screen changed and a live interview appeared.

The interviewee was Harden. He faced an interview with ESPN and said: "I'm sorry, I want to declare something here. I officially notify the team that I want to apply for a trade."

"Damn it!"

Robert Pera cursed in Stern's face.

Next, Garnett also accepted an on-site interview. He said with a tired face: "My contract has expired. I will not renew it. I want to leave this damn team."

After Garnett, Randolph and Rudy Gay also publicly requested trades to leave the team.

Stern smiled and said: "Robert, you should know the reason why they left, because the Grizzly Bear was targeted by the Hammer.

Do you know how many superstars across the league are shareholders of Senbei Restaurant? How many people are friends of Hammer?

The hammer doesn't need to take action himself to nail the grizzly bear. The Grizzlies are finished. The Grizzlies have become a hopeless team. Who will stay? "

Perla leaned back in her chair in frustration.
