Chapter 1325 Leonard Was Taught a Lesson!

"One day, I want to be such a person!"

In the dim passage, Kawhi Leonard looked at Li Ba's back and had such a thought in his mind.

Unconsciously, Li Ba has become the career goal of many league rookies.

Popovich stood on the sidelines and watched Li Ba walk in, feeling annoyed.

He hated this Chinese man. When the Spurs were the strongest, it was this Chinese man who threatened Duncan and Bowen. Otherwise, if Bowen took action, the Suns would not be the opponent of the Spurs.

He looked back at the Suns bench and saw Drummond.

If the Duncans had Drummond and Duncan returned to the fourth position, then the inside line would have rebounds and offensive firepower guaranteed, and the defensive quality would rise to a higher level, and they would have confidence in the competition with the Suns and the Lakers.

For so many years, since being suppressed by the Suns, the Spurs have been lacking a strong center.

The game started, Bosh and Li Ba jumped the ball, and the Suns attacked.

Duncan didn't have the capital to resist Li Ba. He was old and had no choice but to return to the fifth position. His knees, which were almost worn out by cartilage, could not withstand Li Ba's huge power, so he adopted a more flexible way of going around.

But Li Ba was more flexible than Duncan and immediately pulled out to receive the ball.

Duncan had no choice but to resist Li Ba from behind, but in this way, he was back to the situation of resisting Li Ba.

Li Ba received the ball two steps away from the basket, "saw" Duncan behind him, and immediately arched back.

The two were friends off the court and opponents on the court. There was no mercy at all. His strong arch back immediately made Duncan groan and stagger back, while he continued to arch back and arched the latter into the reasonable collision zone.

At this time, Bosh lost Nene and was double-teamed.

Li Ba "saw" Bosh coming up, regardless of anything, and stood up and dunked with all his strength.

"Snap!"

Bosh hit his hand.

But his strength was too weak to hold down Li Ba, who rushed up nearly two feet like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and dunked over Duncan and Bosh with a bang.

The referee blew the whistle and pointed at Bosh, and Li Ba scored an extra free throw.

"Kawhi?"

Popovich shouted from the sidelines and made a gesture.

Leonard nodded and took a deep breath. The head coach asked him to double-team Li Ba. He was very excited to face Li Ba, the new generation of basketball god, for the first time.

In Beijing, Gao Yuanyuan was watching the game while taking care of her pregnancy in her courtyard.

Since she signed Leonard, she has not had the opportunity to introduce him to Li Ba, and she probably won't have the opportunity for a year.

Although Leonard's ranking is not very high, Gao Yuanyuan also values ​​him because he has a pair of big hands and arms like Li Ba. It's just that due to chance, Leonard has not yet been integrated into the interest group centered on Li Ba, including the wine business and the Senbei restaurant. He can only wait for an opportunity in the future.

Li Ba made the free throw, the offense and defense changed, and the Spurs attacked.

On the right wing, Parker broke through Harden's defense and rushed to the paint with the ball.

Li Ba took a step from the basket and took the initiative to defend, forcing Parker away from the basket.

Parker was mentally prepared and immediately changed direction upwards and suddenly lobbed the ball to Duncan under the basket.

But Li Ba was also prepared. He took a step and immediately retracted to defend the basket.

Duncan received the ball and passed it over the head of Li Ba who was returning to defense because Bosh implemented a back cut to Li Ba.

But Bosh's action still couldn't escape Li Ba's lock. At the moment the ball flew over his head, he turned again.

Bosh took off behind Li Ba, caught the ball with both hands, and was about to dunk, but he didn't expect a big hand to stop everything.

With a bang, Li Ba pressed Bosh from the air to the floor with his strength. He fell hard and the ball was snatched away by Li Ba.

Amid the exclamations of the whole audience, the Suns counterattacked.

Harden received the pass from Li Ba, and under Parker's pursuit, he tried his best to hold the ball and run down the court.

The 30-year-old Parker is still at his peak. He is now the Spurs' top scorer, averaging 20+ points per game. He is very fast and keeps up with Harden.

Harden arrived at the basket, turned around, and immediately made a layup after Parker rushed out of the baseline.

But at this time, someone rushed down and blocked his layup with a big block.

"Yeah!"

The Spurs fans in the audience cheered and gave the warmest applause to the team's second-year rookie Leonard.

"Not bad!"

In Beijing, Gao Yuanyuan also nodded, defending very actively, with a shadow of a local.

But the next moment, she smiled bitterly.

Leonard just slapped the basketball down with a slap, and before it landed, he felt a shadow appear on his head and a gust of wind on his back.

What followed was a violent slamming sound. The next moment, as if he was hit by a heavy truck, with a bang, he flew into the air, flew to the baseline, and then fell heavily on the floor.

"Huh...Huh...Huh..."

Feeling that his body was about to be smashed, and his head was dizzy, Leonard, who was lying on the floor, had to open his mouth and gasp for air, like a fish on the shore.

He barely turned over, and under the dazzling overhead light, his somewhat hazy vision fell on a cold and fierce face, and fear was born in his heart.

Li Ba glanced at Leonard indifferently. He never said silly words like "welcome to the NBA" to rookies. That was what old hooligans did. He would only let these rookies lie on the floor and make these juniors afraid of him. This was a baptism he gave to these rookies, the baptism of the God of Basketball.

"Boo!"

The Spurs stadium booed Li Ba.

"Yeah!"

But the difference was that this super heavy dunk that made people's adrenaline burst made countless fans around the world who watched the game cheer.

"Oh, hoo..."

On the TNT live broadcast, Barkley shouted after a strange cry: "The rookie is unlucky, can he still get up?"

On the CCTV live broadcast, Yu Jia shook his head and laughed: "Leonard was taught a lesson. He has the same agent as Tiechui."

On the sidelines, Popovich's fists were clenched and he glared at Li Ba fiercely. If Leonard was injured, he would have wanted to kill Li Ba.

Fortunately, Leonard got up, but his expression was a little dull and his attention was not focused. It seemed that he had not recovered his breath.

During this game, Heat General Manager Pat Riley was on the phone with the Hornets General Manager.

His deal was not going well. The unprotected first-round pick of a weak team is not that easy to get. Wade and Deron are only welcomed by those strong teams that are strengthening, not by those weak teams.

Unfortunately, the call tonight was in vain. The Hornets did not agree.

Currently, the only deal he has negotiated is that the Jazz is willing to take Wade or Deron, and the other is the Philadelphia Digital Team. These two teams are not bad teams, and are still striving to make the playoffs, but the records of these two teams are barely on the edge of the playoffs, which does not meet the requirements of the Timberwolves.
