Chapter 57 Cursed?

The small hook was blocked by the hammer, which was a big blow to the Grizzlies. Since then, Gasol has not made a basket, and Lorenzen White has never asked for the ball again. I became an accompanying guest by my side.

This is also where White is inferior to Kobe. If Kobe blocked him once when his head was hard, he would hit the basket ten times.

The so-called you treat me like a bandit and I treat you like first love refers to Kobe.

This block also completely set the tone for the game.

In the end, the Suns beat the Grizzlies by 18 points with a score of 88:106.

In terms of rebounds alone, the Suns led the Grizzlies by 20 rebounds 52-32.

This is because Li Ba didn't play in the fourth quarter, otherwise the rebound gap would be even bigger.

He played 29 minutes and scored 6 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 blocks, 3 steals and 2 fouls.

However, the MVP of this game was taken away by Marion. He played 40 minutes, 8 of 15, scored 20 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

"What the hell, if the Grizzlies weren't so useless and didn't dare to rush to the basket, the uncle would have blocked more shots. They were all long-range shots, and the uncle would have grabbed a lot less rebounds."

Watching Marion being interviewed by the media, Li Ba muttered uncomfortably.

"It's okay, your data is already very beautiful." Chen Hong comforted.

By Li Ba's side, there are actually more media than Marion. More than a dozen Chinese reporters are all around him, and I don't know why he envies Marion.

But soon he stopped being envious and jealous, because as Marbury said, some girls kept running over and stuffing notes in his pockets, making him smile with joy.

"Hey, watch for me, which one is beautiful and has a good figure, don't make a mistake!" He said to Chen Hong.

"You have a bag of notes, who knows which belongs to which?" Chen Hong rolled his eyes helplessly, he couldn't do this job.

Li Ba suddenly became depressed. There were a few beautiful ones and a few ugly ones just now. You can't ask about their looks first when you make a call, right?

"Hey, Hammer, is that what you call you?" At this moment, several American reporters interviewing Marion came over with their cameras.

"My name is Li Ba, and Ba is my first name. You can also call me Ba." Li Ba suggested.

"OK, so Dam, can I ask, you got four blocks in this game, so what's the secret of your blocks?"

a reporter asked.

This question made Li Ba serious, he thought for a while, and said seriously: "The secret is that in order to get these notes, I must successfully seal them."

Seeing a large amount of paper in Li Ba's hand, several reporters were dumbfounded.

They saw it just now, these were stuffed by some girls to Li Ba, is this the secret of the cover? Pull Nima eggs!

"Okay, stop joking, let's get down to business." Li Ba stuffed a note back into his pocket with a smile, and said seriously: "The secret to blocking shots is a 100% defensive attitude!"

"100% defensive attitude?"

"Yes." Nodding his head, Li Ba said, "That's all, nothing else."

The reporters saw that Li Ba didn't want to talk about it, and another person asked: "The Suns beat the Grizzlies in this game. What do you think of the Grizzlies?"

"soft!"

Li Ba said bluntly.

"soft!?"

A few reporters were really dumbfounded. What about your EQ, did you offend all the players in a team just like that?

Chen Hong and the others were also in a hurry, and they winked at Li Ba one after another, signaling him to change his mind.

But Li Ba didn't change his mind. He continued: "If they are tough enough to attack my basket, I can get at least ten blocks in this game."

"Ten blocks?" The reporters were stunned again.

"Is this rare?" Li Ba asked back.

Not long after, the interview ended, Li Ba chatted with Chen Hong and the others for a few minutes, and then Chen Hong and the others were going to attend the press conference, while he went back to the locker room.

As soon as he entered the locker room, he heard his mobile phone ringing in the closet. When he opened it, it was the agent Bill Duffy.

"Hammer, you played well tonight!" Duffy shouted excitedly.

"No, Bill, you know our opponent is too weak tonight, I don't have much chance to play, the Grizzlies don't go into the paint at all."

Li Ba is "modest" and authentic.

"Ha ha!"

Duffy, who knew Li Ba's personality, laughed.

"Play a few more good games, and more high-quality sponsors will come to you, come on!" Duffy finally said.

After hanging up the manager's call, Li Ba received another call from Dayao.

"Li Ba, you're going to show off this time!" Dayao laughed.

"It's nothing, such a little data, what's the limelight?" Li Ba said again "modestly".

"No wonder you don't come to the Mosaic team, do you want to be the boss in the sun?"

Although Dayao had never met Li Ba face to face, he had made a lot of phone calls and knew Li Ba's personality, so he said so.

"How do you know? Haha, just kidding, I just defend the players, what kind of boss? Besides, D'Antoni doesn't like my type of players. If Frank doesn't have a good record and he takes over the team, I might as well leave."

This sentence, Li Ba said it sincerely.

He's not stupid. D'Antoni has a lot of say in the team, has a good relationship with the management, and doesn't deal with Frank. He can see some potential things.

"You are now three wins and two losses, the record is not bad." Dayao said.

"So I have to work harder and not let Frank go. He's gone. I either sit on the bench or leave."

Li Ba also said helplessly.

Not long after, when Li Ba was about to take a shower, Frank came in. The press conference is about to start, and he is calling for someone.

"Sean, Marbury, and..." He looked at Li Ba who was walking towards the bathroom, and shouted, "Hammer, you haven't showered yet?"

"Nope."

Li Ba is not used to bathing with everyone. He is from the south and has never studied in the north, so he is used to bathing alone at the end.

"Let's go, we'll wash it when we get back." Frank waved.

"I'll go?" Li Ba was surprised.

"Yes, this is a reward for your hard work in defense." Frank laughed.

"Wow, that's great! Grandpa is finally coming out!"

Li Ba shouted excitedly in Chinese, quickly stuffed the towel back into the closet, put on a new training suit, and put on the sneakers.

When we came to the press conference room, there were dozens of reporters, plus cameramen and assistants, the room was full of people, including Chen Hong and others.

The Grizzlies had already arrived one step ahead, and Li Ba was placed on the far side.

"Coach Brown, the Grizzlies' inside players seldom go inside tonight. What's the reason for this?" A reporter asked.

"It's player style, nothing else," Hubie Brown said briefly.

"In this game, the Grizzlies had so few rebounds. What caused it?" the reporter asked.

"The reason is simple, luck. We are cursed, the ball is not coming towards our players, what can we do?"

Old Brown said with some frustration and helplessness.
