Chapter 636 Technical Offender

During the break between rounds, Barkley said in the TNT live broadcast: "Kenny, Hammer thinks that the media has underestimated the Suns in the new season. What do you think?"

Regarding this question, Kenny Smith said very carefully: "Judging from the performance of the first few games of the new season, the performance of the Hammers on the defensive end is even more terrifying."

Barkley also nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, his big hat has increased significantly. Of course, this does not rule out the reason for opportunities. Maybe not every game has so many opportunities. But those opportunities, he seized them all, This shows that his ability to seize opportunities and create opportunities has been enhanced."

"On the offensive end, he still maintains an appropriate number of shots. At present, there are some low-post strong hits, but 60% of his shots are second offenses, fast breaks, and Ba's lobs, which are difficult to cut. His scoring Still very efficient," said Kenny Smith.

"Yes, the offensive efficiency is still the first in the league." Barkley said.

"Don't forget his defense is also the first in the league." Kenny Smith added.

"Yes, he ranked first in the league in offensive and defensive efficiency last season?"

Although they knew this, when they mentioned this point, the two still showed extremely surprised expressions in their eyes.

Barkley said: "So, coupled with today's starting lineup of the Suns, the Suns still have the strongest defensive system in the league. I think it is understandable for the Hammers to question the media's underestimation of the strength of the Suns."

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides were half main and half substitute.

Li Ba didn't play. As for the substitute insiders, Kurt Thomas, Antonio McDyess and Dazhi were the main three, and rookie David Lee was added.

David Lee, a rookie, is the same height as Li Ba, and his weight is currently 104 kg, and he is still gaining weight. He only has the opportunity to play a dozen during garbage time.

He is a left-handed player, but he can also shoot with his right hand.

In addition, the footwork at the basket is very flexible, the ball control is also good, the vision is good, the passing is also good, the offensive skills at the basket are very good, and there is no obvious offensive blind spot.

In the current limited playing time, he has shown a certain rebounding ability. The range of shots is mainly in the area near the basket, accounting for 72% of the shots. He has no three-point ability and long-range shots. basket.

But unfortunately, except for rebounding, his other defenses are not very good, which makes him destined to be uncompetitive in the Suns' main lineup.

However, the Suns' bench lineup is so big that it needs to be pulled out in terms of scoring inside. The scoring ability in the paint area is not very good, and David Lee can just make up for this.

Therefore, his scoring ability and rebounding ability in the paint are what the Suns need, and Frank also intends to further increase his playing time.

Seeing David Lee swaying away Rasheed Wallace with his nimble steps, and then scoring a layup, Frank said to Li Ba: "Hammer, his steps around the basket are better than yours."

Li Ba laughed and said, "Yes, after this season, I plan to go to Dameng's training camp for a week to practice my steps."

"That's a good decision." Frank laughed, then looked at the field again, and said: "In the substitute lineup, Dazhi and David Lee are the main offensive players. Dazhi is outside and David Lee is inside. I think it's pretty good, what do you think?"

At this time, defensive coach Ron Adams said: "The low-post defense is dominated by Kurt Thomas. He is only suitable for this position on the defensive end. Antonio McDyess plays the fourth position. His skills on both ends of the offense and defense are good."

"Yes, old Mike was a top power forward in the league when he was healthy." Frank laughed.

Li Ba thought it was not bad, nodded and said: "It is not bad."

At this time, Rasheed Wallace's roar sounded on the field, and it turned out that David Lee was capped by him.

The rookie David Lee was obviously a bit weak. After being hated and yelled at, he walked aside silently.

"Angry toad, shut your stinky mouth, do you want the hammer to come up and teach you?" Peyton walked up and sprayed at Roaring Tianzun.

"ah!"

Hearing that damned nickname again, Tianzun roared angrily, clenching his fists tightly.

"Hush!!!"

The American West Arena sent a huge boo.

"Good job, Gary!"

Li Ba stood up, applauded Peyton, and then shouted at David Lee:

"Rookie, next time someone yells at you like a donkey, just give him a punch. You are my little brother. In this league, no one dares to shoot at you."

David Lee nodded excitedly, and he was very grateful to the two super giants, one of whom was a rookie, and one of them was still the boss.

At this time, the referee came over and gave Roaring Tianzun a technical foul.

"It's not fair, that guy deserves a T!" Rasheed Wallace pointed at Li Ba excitedly and shouted at the referee.

"Do you want to eat another T?" the referee asked coldly.

Come on, you often yell at us like a donkey, but Hammer has always respected our judgments, can you be treated the same as you?

"Rashid, shut up!"

Da Ben quickly pulled away Roaring Tianzun, otherwise he would be punished directly.

In the following time, David Lee seemed to have taken medicine, and regardless of his rookie status, he frequently asked Payton for the ball.

"Give it to him, Gary. We're not worth the ball here. We're going to feed these rookies and let them help us defend our title."

Li Ba stood on the sidelines and shouted.

"Ha ha……"

Laughter erupted from the audience behind.

"In the entire league, only the boss of our team is qualified to say that the ball is worthless." A middle-aged fat white fan proudly shouted to the fans next to him.

"Yes, only he is qualified." The man smiled.

When Li Ba returned to the bench, he pampered Liu Yifei's head behind him, and the latter smiled sweetly.

When Li Ba was not on the court, Liu Yifei was very quiet, sitting there quietly, as if in another time and space.

After the second quarter, 47:51, the Suns still lead by 4 points.

David Lee played 7 minutes, made 3 of 6 shots, scored 6 points and 2 rebounds. As a rookie, facing the defense of Roaring Tianzun, his performance was not bad.

"Frank, the team picked a good guy. His rebounding and offense around the basket is a good addition to our bench lineup. If he completes the weight gain, his stability will be better."

Li Ba laughed.

Frank nodded and smiled: "Jerry made a good decision, he deserves the No. 21 pick."

In the second half, the two sides returned to the starting lineup in the first quarter, and the Pistons attacked.

Barbosa advances with the ball and crosses the center line.

Billups interfered with the dribble in front, while spouting harsh trash talk with a cold face: "Hey, boy, you only deserve to dance samba, go to the sidelines and wear a three-point twist, playing is what we can do job."

"You idiot, I can smell your bad breath a meter away, stay away from me, or I'll spit you all over."

Barbosa has been with Li Ba for two seasons, and he is not afraid of this cold-blooded key man. He blurted out trash talk and the confrontation became violent.
