Chapter 647 MVP, Who Else Can I Have?

Li Ba played 30 minutes, played half of the fourth quarter, made 7 of 8 shots, got a block from Jermaine O'Neill, made 5 of 8 free throws, scored 19 points, 20 rebounds, 7 assists, 6 steals, 10 blocks, 1 turnover and 2 fouls.

The Pacers' point guard's speed was mediocre in this game, but Barbosa's speed came out, and the fast break was good. Li Ba got 7 assists, hit 5*5 data again, and also hit a triple-double.

After this game, the Suns have finished their first month of games, and the next game will be against the Nuggets on December 2.

At the same time, after winning the Pacers, the Suns currently have a record of 11 wins and 2 losses, and have achieved the longest 6-game winning streak this season. They are currently ranked first in the Western Conference and first in the league.

The Pistons unexpectedly lost to the Wizards tonight. They have the same winning percentage as the Suns, both 11 wins and 2 losses, but the Suns won the Pistons, so they can only rank second in the league.

The Suns have the best record in the league this season and once again caught the attention of the media.

Before the season, the media underestimated the strength of the Suns this season, and the probability of winning the championship was very low, still below the Pistons and Spurs, but now, they have raised the probability of the Suns. But the increase is still not large. For example, ESPN only raised it to 25%, which is only 4 percentage points, lower than the Pistons and Spurs, and only on par with the Lakers and the Heat, which performed well this season.

The official explanation given by ESPN is that the Suns lineup has a lot of shortcomings, and the first position is immature. The current winning streak mainly relies on its strong defensive system and the strong defensive energy of the team's core hammer. In the playoffs, the defensive intensity will increase, the No. 1 position will be targeted, and the team's offensive system will collapse.

On the 1st, the league announced the best player of the month.

Best of the Month in the Eastern Conference, LeBron James.

Averaged 39.9 minutes per game, 28.4 points, 6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.9 blocks, 3.2 turnovers and 2.4 fouls.

In addition, the overall hit rate is 48.9%, the three-pointer is 35.1%, and the free throw rate is 81.7%.

The best month in the west, Li Ba.

Averaged 33 minutes per game, 21 points, 21.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 5.6 steals, 9.1 blocks, 1.2 turnovers and 1.8 fouls.

The data is terrible, double 20 or 5*5, any one can be the best of the month in the Western Conference, let alone two?

"I think this is the best and scariest stat of the month so far!"

Kristin Laidlow, a basketball commentator who has always supported Li Ba, published an ESPN column in which he said:

"The MVP rankings of the league and major media will be released soon. I hope to see that all the No. 1 players have the same name, and that name is Li Ba."

"Free choice is the most important thing!"

Craig Sager, a basketball commentator who has always opposed Li Ba, also published his ESPN column:

"Laidlow is kidnapping everyone's freedom. This is wrong. This is against the spirit of freedom. We must resist this kind of thinking. We should have the right to choose freely."

After Stern saw Craig Sager's article, he called Baldy Xiao and Russ Granik and asked them about their attitudes.

This season, he advocated the disqualification of 30 journalists accompanying the team, but he knew that the management of the league had some disagreements.

"Mr. President, I think they should be allowed to choose freely. This is their right and everyone's right," Baldy Xiao said.

"And you, Russ."

Glancing at the bald head, Stern looked at Granik.

Lars Granik didn't think about it, and said directly: "Mr. Stern, we should guard against possible jokes."

Stern nodded.

"But freedom is the most noble thing." Baldy Xiao insisted.

Stern raised his hand, signaled Baldy Xiao to shut up, and continued:

"Adam, you are right, freedom is indeed the most noble, but interests are the most important.

You know, the Hammers are trying to break into professional boxing and what do we have to lose once he leaves the league?

Those team owners will let us continue to sit here with high salaries, but lose their interests? No, no, they will tear us apart. "

Xiao Hua was startled, and closed his mouth.

It is the nature of capital to put interests above all else and interests above all else.

"Sir, is Hammer really going to box?" Lars Granik asked in surprise.

Stern said seriously: "He is working. Mrs. Liz, the partner of WMA, has lobbied me twice, and we will have a third meeting soon."

Lars Granik and Xiao Guangtou suddenly became serious.

NBA stars make a lot of money playing ball, but they are far from being able to compare with those top professional boxing world champions with great influence. Sometimes such a world champion can earn tens of millions of dollars or hundreds of millions of dollars in a boxing match. The income can match the salary of a super giant for several years.

"Is he okay?" Xiao Guangtou questioned.

"I don't know if he can do it or not? But Mrs. Liz told me that she will invest at least 30 million U.S. dollars to promote the hammer fight." Stern said.

"hiss!"

The two gasped at the same time.

Thirty million dollars, a boxing match, this is definitely the level of the world's top boxing champion.

Playing two such boxing matches a year, the Hammer earns a lot more than Jordan.

"Sir, this must not be allowed to happen," Las Granik said.

"Without our permission, he can't do these dangerous things." Bald Xiao said.

As soon as he said it, he felt that something was wrong.

Immediately, he saw Stern and the two looking at him with idiot eyes.

"I have promised Mrs. Liz." Stern said at this time.

Las Granik nodded and said: "We must promise, we cannot reject him at the risk of letting Hammer leave the league. His character is very strong and weird, no one can guarantee, what will he do after we reject him? .”

Xiao Guangtou opened his mouth, then closed it again.

"Well, Lars, you should pay attention to the MVP rankings this time. We can't control the media, but we must be fair, truly fair." Stern said.

"Today is the scoring deadline. I will watch it and there will be absolutely no problem. Of course, I also think there will be no problem. The Hammer has produced such horrible data. If the result is unexpected, it will be a A real joke."

Lars Granik said.

Stern nodded and said, "You still have to be careful, because of interests, capital will be desperate."

On the other side, Li Ba was talking to Dayao.

"Hammer, it's getting stronger, I'm envious!" Dayao laughed.

"Next month, I will try to get a few more hats, and I will average 20+3 doubles plus 5*5 per game." Li Ba said proudly.

"The official and media MVP rankings didn't come out today, but they should come out tomorrow. Do you think you can take the first place?" Dayao asked.

"Who else but me?" Li Ba said coldly.
