Chapter 242 Injuries
Wallace collapsed and struggled, and the locker room was silent. Li Ba stepped forward and squatted beside him, and said with a smile, "Do you want to continue? I'll count down the seconds if I continue."
"You, you bastard! Shet, you are a bastard!" Wallace cursed vaguely while lying on the ground, covering his face.
He felt like his head was about to explode, there was a bloody smell in his mouth, there were stars around him, he felt very dizzy, and he was still spinning while lying on the ground.
"Stop talking nonsense, are you interested in coming to the sun?" Li Ba asked.
"If you beat him up again, you won't go if you beat him to death." Wallace snorted.
He definitely doesn't want to have such a violent boss with strong violence. This is a fucking thug. He would rather retire than go to the Suns.
"Don't think about it? When the sun comes, I will cover you. No one in the entire league dares to bully you." Li Ba tempted.
"Fuck you, no one in the entire league dares to bully me, except you, a thug!"
Wallace cursed furiously in his heart, turned his head, and didn't want to talk anymore. He really couldn't beat him, so he could only endure his anger for a while.
"What a pity! You're going to the sun, and I can fight you if my hands itch. It's a pity that you don't go!" Li Ba expressed his regret, and Wallace closed his eyes in anger.
"Zach, what about you?" Seeing that Wallace ignored him, Li Ba asked back.
Randolph shook his head again and again, but could not make a sound.
"You don't want the shot rights and the All-Stars?" Li Ba asked doubtfully.
Randolph continued to shake his head. He felt that his life was more important. The leader of the Suns team was a bit perverted, so it was better not to go.
"I don't seem to be suitable to be a lobbyist!"
Li Ba left the visiting team's locker room with regret.
Subsequently, the Blazers announced that Rasheed Wallace had broken his face and would take a game off.
Li Ba was punched, and Frank put him on the injured list directly, but he didn't fight this time.
In the end, the Blazers relied on Randolph's performance to win the Suns.
The next day, the league announced a deal, and Rasheed Wallace was traded to the Hawks.
On the third day, February 6, the Suns defeated the challenge of the Sonics, 35 wins and 17 losses, still fourth in the West.
On the night of the 7th, the Suns will face the Jazz back-to-back. During the day, another deal happened.
"Fuck! Now that the Pistons have completed their lineup, they are missing a fourth position." After hearing the main body of the deal, Li Ba cursed.
After two days and one game with the Hawks, the hapless Rasheed Wallace was traded again, this time to the Pistons.
The Pistons made up the lineup, but the Suns fell into injuries.
On the 7th, in the game against the Jazz, Joe Johnson was injured, at least ten games off, and the Suns also lost the game.
On the 9th, the Suns and the Heat announced a deal. The Suns sent this year's No. 17 rookie Kaba Kappa in the first round, and the Heat sent Wang Zhizhi.
Both of them are international players. After this transaction happened, the United States did not respond, but the domestic scene was very lively, and people speculated that this matter must have something to do with Li Ba.
Of course, there are also media speculations that he will return to the national team because of this.
Li Ba also received a call from the Basketball Association, asking him what was going on. The caller was Li Jinshen, the deputy director who had been in charge of contacting him.
"This is what I think. Director Li Yuanwei wants to reform now, so let's start from Dazhi. The four of us work together to break through the original achievements, so that Director Li can sit more securely and save that The old man surnamed Xin has come back again, and everyone is unhappy."
Li Jinshen smiled wryly over there, but Li Ba's words aroused his interest.
If a breakthrough is achieved in the Olympic Games next year, Director Li is really likely to continue working.
The schedule continued, and then the Suns faced the Raptors on the 10th. The All-Star ticket king Carter broke out and scored 35 points. The Suns lost again.
But the main loss of this game is that Joe Johnson did not come back and injured Marbury again, at least five games off.
On the 11th, accompanied by his agent Liu Weimin, Dazhi reported for duty.
"You won't be able to play tonight. We will play after the All-Stars. There are plenty of opportunities. We have a lot of injuries." Li Ba took Da Zhi to the training headquarters to introduce other teammates.
"Hammer, thank you!"
It feels very good, because Li Ba is the boss here, and every teammate is very polite to him, even the coaching staff and management.
"Tie Hammer, I'm sorry to trouble you!" Liu Weimin spoke Mandarin in a Wanwan accent, which was not standard, but his attitude was very polite.
But Li Ba didn't like this person at all. He got a lot of news from the media such as Chen Hong. At the beginning, it was this banana man who caused troubles. contact.
Don't look at being polite to yourself, it means that you have become the boss in the sun, if you are a marginal person like Dazhi, then it must be another attitude.
"You fix the house first today, settle down, and we will go to Los Angeles together in a few days." Li Ba ignored Liu Weimin and said to Da Zhi.
That night, the Suns played back-to-back against the junk team Warriors. This was also the last game before the All-Star break. Backup center Jack Voskull was injured again and lost the game.
With so many injuries, Frank and the management immediately decided to strategically give up part of the game, allowing Li Ba and Marion to take turns to rest and wait for the return of other main players.
Using the excuse of injury, Li Ba pushed the Western Conference center substitute for this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge and the main game.
This year's freshman, LeBron James, Bosh, Wade, Anthony, these four old blacks are all in the same group, they have known each other since they played in the high school league, and they have a good relationship, so he is too lazy to do coolies for these four guys Woolen cloth.
As for the main game, he was still the third and the second substitute. He didn't have much playing time, so he didn't bother to play.
After the first 55 games of the All-Star Game, the Suns had 35 wins and 20 losses, fifth in the Western Conference, and the Lakers with F4 neatly caught up.
Li Ba's final All-Star vote was still the third center in the Western Conference.
In the center position of the Western Conference, Dayao is the first with 1,484,531 votes, followed by O'Neal with 1,453,286 votes. He is only 3,000 votes behind O'Neal with 1,450,002 votes. .
70% of his votes came from China, and the United States accounted for less than 30%, nearly 500,000 votes.
After all, he is a defensive player, and he has no honor. The attention he receives in the United States is not as good as that of super giants like O'Neal.
But compared to other American stars, the votes he got in the United States are actually not small.
For example, Brad Miller, the fourth place center and veteran star who was also undrafted, only received 250,000 votes, only half of Li Ba's American votes.
All in all, Dayao doesn't count, and the center of the Western Conference is only a big shark on his head.
If he is an American, he must not only get local votes, but the potential xenophobia can be seen everywhere.
Marion won the third place in the western forward, with a substitute, which is better than Li Ba.
And Marbury, the vote was overtaken by Kobe, and finally won the second place in the Western Conference guard, and Kobe teamed up with Kobe on the guard line in the All-Star Game.
The boss and the Lakers' Gary Payton are backup guards.
Vince Carter from the Eastern Conference won the most votes of this year's All-Star, and won more than 2.12 million votes. This is also his most glorious time.
In fact, after Jordan retired and Kobe fell into scandal, the league really relied on Carter's explosive dunks for a period of time, giving him a lot of publicity resources and making him a frequent visitor to the top five.
