Chapter 1173 Can We Join?

"Today the veterans of the Suns are feeling better. Their outside shooting rate is as high as 44.5%, which is the same as the Warriors. The Warriors made 3 3-pointers and the Suns made 5 3-pointers." Yu Jia said with a smile.

Xu Jicheng laughed and said: "Veterans rely more on experience and skills to play, rather than their bodies. Without physical conditions, they will not be able to do many actions, which will definitely affect their strength."

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "Veterans still have a problem. Due to physical reasons, their playing time cannot be consistent. Their hands are gone before they are warm, which affects their feel. If the playing time is extended, their physical fitness cannot keep up. .

Therefore, veterans generally cannot assume the main position and can only be used as a supplement because they cannot play for that long. Like the Suns, it is indeed dangerous for veterans to serve as the main force. "

In the second quarter, the substitutes of both sides took turns playing. After halftime, 39:61, the Suns still led by 22 points.

In the third quarter, the main players of both sides came on, but Li Ba did not play and was replaced by Kwame Brown.

Li Ba didn't have enough rest time in the offseason, and a bad team like this doesn't need to play for that long.

When Li Ba came off the court, Biedrins and David Lee teamed up to gain an advantage in basketball. Arab League and Kwame Brown couldn't catch each other. In addition, Curry hit three-pointers one after another. At the end of the three quarters, 69 :81, the Suns only led by 13 points.

"4 of 8 three-pointers, this little man named Curry's three-pointers are really accurate." Zhang Li said.

"He took a lot of three-pointers today, and his shots in the third quarter were twice as much as his average shots per game. And his shots are very fast, very fast, and difficult to defend," Yu Jia said.

In the fourth quarter, Li Ba came on the court.

With the rebounding back under control, the Suns regained the shot advantage while reducing the Warriors' attempts.

After one in and one out, at the end, 91:114, the Suns won by 23 points.

"Iron Hammer, last season the Suns beat the Warriors by an average of 35 points per game, but this time they only won by 23 points. So what do you think of the Warriors' performance?"

a San Francisco Sports reporter asked.

"I quite like shooting three-pointers." Li Ba simply replied.

"Hammer, do you think the three-point shot has a chance to become a team's main offensive method?" an ESPN reporter asked.

"small ball?"

Li Ba thought for a while and said: "The Heat had a lot of three-pointers in the last game. This time there are more Warriors. Maybe there is a chance."

"So do you think this kind of offense can defeat the Suns?" the reporter asked.

"What's the rebound situation in this game?" Li Ba asked.

The reporter was startled and said: "58:32, there are 26 more suns, and you took 32 of them by yourself."

After saying that, he knew what Li Ba meant. How could he beat the Suns with so many rebounds missing in one game? Is it more than 50% to 60% for a three-pointer? Without a 50% to 60% three-point shooting percentage, how can you offset the huge disadvantage in the number of shots taken?

Although the Suns defeated the Warriors, the outside world does not believe that the Suns have returned to championship level strength, because the Warriors are a bad team that has not made the playoffs for three consecutive seasons and cannot prove anything at all.

The Suns' third game is on the road, challenging the Jazz back-to-back.

The Jazz's inside game is over this season. Boozer has left, Okur is seriously injured and may be reimbursed for the season. Deron can't pull this team off.

Unfortunately, back-to-back games were serious challenges for veterans. The Suns unexpectedly lost to the Jazz, and then continued their road trip and flew to Portland to prepare to challenge the Trail Blazers.

The loss to the Jazz made the media more and more sure of the strength of the Suns, and they have indeed withdrawn from the level of a championship team.

On November 1st, the Suns defeated the Trail Blazers in an away game and achieved a record of 2 wins and 2 losses, ranking 10th in the Western Conference.

On the 2nd, the team returned to Phoenix and faced the challenge of the Lakers.

In the evening, Li Ba invited Kobe, Duncan, and Gasol to dinner, and UAE and a group of veteran superstars from the team kept him company, not at home, but in the Senbei restaurant.

There are photos of Li Ba hanging everywhere in the restaurant. There are all kinds of super dunk moments, all kinds of blocked shots, all kinds of steals, all kinds of wonderful moments in all five-double games, all kinds of championship-winning moments. In this moment, they are all frozen moments of his most wonderful life.

In addition to basketball photos, there are also some boxing photos, and tennis photos.

These photos are the signature of the chain restaurant, attracting a large number of customers. Every customer will choose to take a photo with these photos for the first time, and the photo time alone lasts more than an hour.

"I should have voted more." Kobe said regretfully as he looked at the packed restaurant.

This is not a low-end restaurant, this is a mid-to-high-end restaurant with high consumption.

"Kobe, how many shots did you take?" Payton asked.

"Five million." Kobe said.

"You have enough, I only have one million."

Payton also regretted hearing that Kobe invested five million.

Kobe said proudly: "Yao and I invested in the winery with Iron Hammer, and now we have started to make money. The wine is sold to China, and the sales are very good."

Li Ba chuckled and said: "I'm telling you, Kobe, now we have a plan to occupy our domestic wine market and squeeze out Australia's share."

"Really? That's great!" Kobe said excitedly.

"Can we join the gang?" Deng asked blankly.

"It's too late." Kobe said immediately.

Deng was stunned for a moment and said nothing.

Li Ba laughed and said, "Tim, Kobe is joking with you. If you want to invest, you can ask your investment agent to buy a winery. My investment team is now expanding the Chinese wine market. This is a good opportunity."

"OK, I'll contact Banks right away." Duncan said with a silver smile.

"Banks?" Kobe was stunned. He thought for a while and said, "I remember Garnett said that his investment consultant is also this person. You all look for him. Is he very capable? Is he reliable?"

"Reliable. I gave him tens of millions of dollars and asked him to be responsible for my investment. Last time he asked me to lend six million to an entertainment company. I heard that the company is doing well and should have good benefits." Duncan said.

Kobe shrugged. The issue of investment is very personal, so he couldn't ask more.

Duncan got through the phone and said, "Hey, Banks, I want to invest in a winery. What do you think?"

"Invest in a winery? Oh, Tim, that's a very bad idea." Banks laughed.

"Why? Several of my friends are investing in this, and they are doing very well." Duncan said in surprise.

"Listen, Tim, I won't lie to you. Don't invest in fixed assets. The US economy is in recession now, and cash is king. Listen to me, I have found a good investment project now. It takes a short time and has a quick return. This is the best." Banks smiled.

The two talked for a few more words, and Duncan hung up the phone.
