Chapter 669 Fighting Supersonic

The appointed time was 4:00, and when the time came, the housekeeping company brought the workers to the door for an interview.

"Hammer? Liu Yifei?"

When seeing Li Ba and the two of them, Zhang Yuzhen said in surprise.

She never expected that the interviewees would be these two famous people in China.

"Sit down and talk."

Li Ba and Zhang Yuzhen chatted.

From the chat, I learned that Zhang Yuzhen's current situation is not very good, because her husband suddenly lost his job, and then just caught up with his daughter's illness. Without medical insurance, not only all his savings have been spent, but he also owes 30,000 US dollars. The medical expenses and the house loan are not repaid, and they will be taken away by the bank immediately, and the family will soon become homeless.

"Aunt Zhang, is your daughter cured? What's wrong?" Liu Yifei asked with concern.

"Acute appendicitis, appendectomy, the disease is cured, but this disease is about to drag our family to death, alas!"

Zhang Yuzhen sighed.

"This operation is very small. I heard that it is only a first-class operation. It doesn't seem to cost much in China, right?" Li Ba asked suspiciously.

"The medical insurance here is really expensive. We feel that we are in good health, so we want to save some money. We didn't buy medical insurance. How would we know that this would happen? I wanted to go back to China for surgery, but my daughter couldn't stand the pain. In the end, all Add up, it cost nearly 60,000 US dollars." Zhang Yuzhen sighed.

Li Ba squatted, and it was close to more than 400,000 yuan, so he had an appendectomy? He swore that the next time he returned to China, he would have his appendix cut out before coming back.

"Aunt Zhang, I don't understand. Why are you immigrating? I don't even want to emigrate when I stay here. If I don't play, I will go back."

Li Ba asked puzzledly.

Zhang Yuzhen said with regret on his face: "Oh, we also heard from those people on the Internet, saying how good it is here, free medical care, elite education, we were fooled!"

After chatting for a while, Li Ba and Li Ba passed the interview.

"Thank you, thank you..." Zhang Yuzhen thanked him again and again, almost in tears.

After Li Ba's lawyer came, he signed a non-disclosure agreement, and then signed a contract with the housekeeping company. Zhang Yuzhen had officially found a job.

"Aunt Zhang, you should take care of the family affairs first, and come back to work in two or three days. In a few days, our house will have a few dogs coming in. We need to walk the dogs, and Sissy can't do it alone." Li Ba said.

"It won't take a few days. Arrange for my daughter tomorrow morning, and I'll come over at noon. I'm sure there will be no delay." Zhang Yuzhen smiled.

After leaving Li Ba's home, Zhang Yuzhen called home immediately to inform her of the work news. Her husband and daughter cheered on the phone, and she laughed herself.

On the night of December 20th, the Suns played against the Sonics at home.

In Li Ba's rookie season, because the team's defensive system was not established, and his defensive area was only in the paint area, he was quite afraid of this kind of team, but since last season, he has been able to deal with this kind of ball very well Team up.

Before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Sonics: Vitaly Potapanko, Rashard Lewis, Reggie Evans, Ray Allen, Luc Crednor.

Suns: Lee Ba, Marion, Battier, Tony Allen, Barbosa.

The two teams meet at the exit.

"Hey, Hammer." Ray Allen greeted first.

"Lei, your record is not very good this year, have you thought about leaving?" Li Ba said with a smile.

When his teammates were asked this question, Ray Allen was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "We will catch up."

Li Ba knew well that Lei Allen, a gentleman, probably wanted to leave too.

He glanced at Reggie Evans, who flinched and looked away.

After warming up, Li Ba came to the bench. Liu Yifei was present today, and he asked, "Qi Qian, is Aunt Zhang here today?"

"Come on, she is very nice and can cook. We ate at home at noon today, and I went shopping with her in the morning." The girl smiled.

"Sissy, be careful when chatting. Don't tell others everything about your family. In addition, we are being watched by reporters outside our house. Please tell her not to accept interviews."

"Well, I know."

Five minutes later, the game started.

"Fuck them!"

"Fuck them to death!"

Rude slogans sounded in the American West Arena.

The game was broadcast live by TNT, and Barkley complained at this time: "This is probably the rudest slogan in the league."

"It is. But it can give people strength." Kenny Smith laughed.

With the jump ball, Li Ba wins the Ukrainian center of the Supersonics, and the Suns attack.

Vitaly Potapanko is not a small person, he is the lottery pick of the 96 golden generation, ranking just before Kobe, the 12th pick.

The best performance was in the 1998-99 season. He had a stat of 10.8+7.2+1.8+.07+0.6, but now his condition is no longer good. Last season he was only 3.5+2.4. The level of a role player has entered the rhythm of retirement.

He is 208 centimeters tall and weighs 130 kilograms. He has become a meat shield, and his movement speed is much slower than that of Li Ba.

As soon as Li Ba hit the ground, he bypassed Potapanko immediately and wanted to play a fast break.

The Suns also advanced rapidly as a whole, rushing to the frontcourt like a tide, instantly submerging the Sonics' backcourt.

Power forward Lewis and small forward Reggie Evans double-teamed Li Ba.

But the two of them couldn't stop Li Ba from getting close to the basket under the tugging.

Barbosa is facing off against Luc Credno. The latter is poor defensively, with a thin body, no athletic ability, slow movement, no breakthrough ability at all, and can't keep up with the former's rhythm.

With an acceleration, Barbosa broke through Ridnor and reached the top of the arc. At this time, he saw Li Ba approaching the basket, and he pushed with both hands, and the ball went in.

At the basket, Li Ba blocked Lewis and Reggie Evans with his left and right arms, jumped up and grabbed the ball.

When they landed, the two of them double-teamed again, and their arms reached up, trying to hold Li Ba down and prevent him from getting up.

But it was useless, they felt as if they were holding down a giant beast, and the surging power exploded instantly as Li Ba strengthened.

Lewis, who weighed less than 100 kilograms, was hit by Li Ba's sudden rise, and immediately staggered back, as if he had been blasted.

"Snapped!"

Reggie Evans, who weighed 110 kilograms, was also blasted, but he slapped Li Ba on the right wrist before stepping back.

With a bang, Li Ba forcibly broke through the double-team, and with a super heavy dunk, smashed the ball into the Supersonic basket.

"yeah!"

The cheers of the American West Arena erupted.

"Beep!"

The referee indicated that Reggie Evans made a thug foul, and Li Ba added a free throw.

After a few high-fives with Marion, Li Ba stood on the free throw line.

He flicked his wrist.

Now the wrist is still the same thick, but the flexibility has increased a lot magically.

It has been almost two months, and he has basically formed a new shooting style. Now in training, his free throw percentage has returned to the original 60%, and it is still increasing steadily.

"Shua!"

Additional penalty hit.

0:3, the Suns lead.
