Chapter 1215 I Have Fourteen Five-Doubles, I Can Stand Shoulder to Shoulder with Jordan
The Suns attacked and beat Artest again.
Unfortunately, this time Artest asked for a three-pointer and missed.
Li Ba grabbed the rebound and the Suns counterattacked and started a fast break.
Li Ba personally participated in the fast break, and Artest was defending under the basket. At this time, the former caught the ball at the free throw line at the top of the arc. He changed direction and shook the latter, and then his body suddenly rose.
At this moment, Li Ba, who was in the air, pressed Artest's head with his left hand, continued to lift his body, and directly rode on the latter's neck, and smashed the ball with his right hand.
"boom!"
Li Ba hung above the basket, and Artest fell under the basket.
"yeah!"
All the Suns fans in the audience stood up from their seats like crazy, cheering and cheering.
Artest's face was blood red lying at the feet of Li Ba, and his teeth were almost broken. When his blood-red eyes looked at Li Ba hanging on the basket, he happened to meet Li Ba's gaze looking at him, with such indifference. The high and condescending look in his eyes made him shudder, and the anger in his heart strangely disappeared, and he avoided Li Ba's sight.
Being stronger is jealousy, being stronger is envy, but if this opponent is too strong, then you can only surrender and lose the courage to fight.
"Brothers, let us defeat the Lakers together!"
When Artest got up dejectedly, Li Ba landed and yelled at his teammates who were rushing over.
"Yes, boss."
Allen, Ray Allen, Nash and others all raised their heads and roared.
The morale of the Lakers was hit by this humiliating dunk. They lowered their heads and gasped.
Kobe was the only one who raised his chin and stared at Li Ba unconvinced.
But unfortunately, he was powerless because he was always double-teamed in the final quarter.
"Crack, click, click..."
One was demoralized, the other was high-spirited. The media shots behind the baseline fixed this scene for eternity.
In the 10th minute of the last quarter, the score was 95:110, and the Suns were already 15 points ahead. At this time, the audience cheered because Li Ba once again had a five-double.
This time, the morale of the Lakers was completely shattered.
At the end of the game, 100:118, the Suns won the crucial G4 game and led the Lakers by a big score of three to one. The Lakers were about to be eliminated.
"Congratulations to the Hammers, for recording the 13th quintuple-double in the NBA and the 14th quintuple-double in the world." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"Congratulations to the Suns for advancing to the Western Conference Finals." Xu Jicheng said happily.
"The Hammer's performance tonight was great!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.
At the scene, Li Ba was surrounded by the media.
"Hammer, you hit a five-double again, what do you want to say most now?" an ESPN reporter asked.
Li Ba smiled and said: "During this period, too many people said that my peak period is over, or is about to end. Some people say that our natural physique is not good enough. What I want to say now is that in this playoffs, I I have hit four five-doubles, but this is definitely not the end. What I want to say most now is, don’t use your mortal eyes to question the greatness of God.”
His pretense made the surrounding media extremely silent, and then countless Suns fans cheered, and finally formed the same voice:
"The God of Basketball, Hammer! The God of Basketball, Hammer! The God of Basketball, Hammer..."
The American West Arena openly called Li Ba the God of Basketball, which immediately spread throughout the world. Many media immediately refuted it, including most Chinese media, which believed that Li Ba was not qualified enough.
However, these media cannot affect the understanding of countless basketball fans. Fans have flocked to Li Ba's various self-media platforms to express their opinions.
"If the owner of fourteen quintuple-doubles, five championships, four MVPs, and four EMVPs can still not be called the God of Basketball, then what qualifications does a Jordan with no quadruple-doubles have to be called the God of Basketball? God? Just because he has one more championship and more scoring titles than the Hammers?”
"Jordan didn't win a single championship in his first six seasons, while Hammer won four championships in his first six seasons and created the Suns Dynasty. Hammer joined the league for 8 seasons, retired for one season, and won five championships. There is also great hope for the championship this season. In the first eight seasons, Jordan only won two championships. I just want to say that there is a gap between them."
The media frantically searched for Jordan, who was found hiding in a Las Vegas casino.
"Michael, can you accept that a Chinese and you are called the God of Basketball?" a reporter asked.
"There is no inevitable connection between the God of Basketball and the identity of the Chinese. Please don't mislead me." Jordan said angrily.
"So can you accept that the Hammer and you are called the God of Basketball?" A reporter immediately asked.
Jordan didn't want to take a stand at all, which made him very embarrassed.
He represents Nike and is related to Nike's interests. If he publicly acknowledges Li Ba's status as the god of basketball, it will be a harm to Nike and himself.
But he can't deny Li Ba publicly. Regardless of Li Ba's statistics or honors, he can't say that, and he will be ridiculed by the fans.
"Let history answer this question," he said at last.
The media did not get any valuable information from Jordan and surrounded Li Ba's villa again.
"What do you want to ask me? What I want to say has already been said."
He was rushing to Los Angeles today. When Li Ba drove out of his home, he was blocked by piles of media reporters, so he had to accept an interview.
"Hammer, do you think you are the god of basketball?" a reporter asked loudly.
"Am I not qualified?" Li Ba asked coldly.
At this point, Li Ba didn't want to deny it anymore. Why couldn't he be the God of Basketball? He should fight for what was his. He was qualified to fight for it.
"You don't have as many scoring titles as Jordan." A reporter shouted.
"I have fourteen five-doubles. Why don't you go see Michael and trade one five-double for one of his scoring titles?" Li Ba said coldly.
The reporters were silent for a while, and after a while another reporter shouted: "You don't have as many first rounds as Jordan."
"I have fourteen five-doubles." Li Ba said again.
The reporters were silent again, and after a while a voice rang again: "You don't have as many championships as Jordan."
"I have fourteen five-doubles." Li Ba said again.
The media was angry, and a reporter said angrily: "Can you not mention your five-doubles?"
"I have fourteen five-doubles, and all the people in the world, including Michael Jordan, don't have one. I am the only one in the world."
Li Ba raised his head and said in an unquestionable tone.
"Your score is not as good as..."
"I have fourteen five-doubles."
"Your..."
"I have fourteen five-doubles."
...
In the end, the reporters retreated one after another, defeated by Li Ba's words "I have fourteen five-doubles", and were completely defeated.
