Chapter 668 Buying a Dog

After the start of the second half, when the game progressed to the 6th minute of the third quarter, the score was 37:73, and the Suns had already led by 36 points.

Li Ba focused on Paul again, and Paul was blocked as a scumbag.

There was a timeout, and Scott's tie had been thrown on the bench, the sleeves rolled up and the collar unbuttoned.

He now has to decide, should he give up this game?

If the fight continues, maybe the score will be doubled. It is only one point away, and that would be a real shame.

Moreover, Paul has already been beaten, and if he beats him again, if his self-confidence is completely broken, it will be over.

In the end, he decided to give up the game.

"Damn the Suns! Damn the hammer!" He muttered angrily, motioning for the substitutes to get up and the main players to sit down.

Seeing that the Hornets replaced the main force, the Suns also replaced the main force.

"Oh, what happened, how can we stop fighting?"

Holding Li Ba's data, Yu Jia was full of regret, wishing to run down and drag the main players of the Hornets to the field.

"What a pity!" Zhang Lili shook his head, feeling more regretful than Yu Jia.

Li Ba played 18 minutes, made 5 of 5 shots and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 11 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 7 steals, 6 blocks and 1 turnover.

The 5*5 data was played in 18 minutes, which is incredible.

However, this is only 18 minutes of data. If the game continues, with the strength of the Hornets, what kind of data will they play?

"Frank, do you have a look at the stats of the Hammer?" On the Suns' bench, assistant coach Taro handed over Li Ba's stat sheet.

"Hammer, do you want to go up?"

When Frank saw it, his hands trembled, and he quickly handed it to Li Ba.

Li Ba looked at it and wiped it.

"Frank, call a timeout immediately and let the hammer go up!"

Marion next to him looked at it and yelled directly at Frank.

Others watched and encouraged Li Ba to play.

"Five pairs?"

Li Ba is excited, if he continues to fight, how likely is it to hit a peerless five-double today? Ninety percent, or one hundred percent?

"However, with such great data, how could I let it be flawed? No, scoring a five-double on a team like the Hornets is not worthy of such great data!"

After much deliberation, Li Ba decided not to fight.

At the end, 75:123, the Suns won by 48 points, 17 wins and 3 losses.

"Hammer, why don't you hit it?"

During the on-site interview, Zhang Lili asked this question almost in a questioning tone, which shows the regret in his heart.

"The greatest data, of course, must be obtained from the greatest opponent." Li Ba said in a very flat tone.

"well!"

Zhang Lili sighed and stopped asking other questions.

The next day, the Suns left Phoenix for a three-game road trip.

On the 14th, the Suns were defeated by the Mavericks in an away game, and then defeated the Hornets again on the 16th, but on the second day, in back-to-back games, they were in poor form and lost to the Grizzlies who were in great form.

In this way, in the first 23 games, the Suns had a record of 18 wins and 5 losses, and lost two more games, not only giving up the first place in the league, but also the first place in the Western Conference, behind the Spurs.

The Spurs have soared in strength this season. Ginobili and Parker have fully matured and strengthened the lineup. They have a record of 19 wins and 4 losses.

But the first place in the league is in the East.

The Knicks are 19 wins and 4 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.

The Pistons are 20 wins and 3 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference and first in the league.

At noon on December 18, the Suns returned to Phoenix.

"Hammer, the Christmas game is coming soon. We play the Spurs at home, and you play the Knicks away. Everyone must win!"

After getting off the plane, Li Ba received a call from Dayao.

"Small meaning, beating the Knicks is no different from beating a three-year-old child." Li Ba said indifferently.

"Be careful to lose Jingzhou carelessly!" Dayao said.

"Don't worry, I'm a defensive player. I'm never careless. *** told us to despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically. I will never forget it." Li Ba laughed.

"That's good." Dayao said with a smile.

Back home, Li Ba and Liu Yifei took a mandarin duck bubble bath first.

"Sissy, this away game is too hard, why don't you just stay at home?"

"Big Hammer, I don't want to stay at home alone."

"I said last time about setting up a company here, have you discussed with your mother? Ask your mother to come over and manage the company. You also have a partner?"

"Yes, she said that she would come here with your parents during the New Year's Eve."

"That's fine."

"Big Hammer, how about I raise a puppy, okay?"

"Okay, let's pick in the afternoon."

"How many more do I want to raise?"

"That's better, you don't have to follow me to the away game, it's very tiring. When you get tired, she will age quickly!" Li Ba said sincerely.

"Then don't wash it, let's go buy it!" Liu Yifei hurriedly urged when he heard that he was getting old quickly.

Li Ba really didn't want the girl to run away with her, it was too tiring.

The two had already had lunch on the plane, and after taking a shower, they went out to buy a dog.

I went to several dog shops, ordered seven or eight dogs, and asked the shop to take care of them first, eunuch those that should be eunuched, cut up those that should be cut, and then send them to the dog house when they are ready.

"This dog, the meat tastes better after being eunuched." Li Ba said to Liu Yifei with experience.

"ah?"

Liu Yifei's mouth opened wide.

Li Ba realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly called.

The two decided to hire another worker, so they went to the housekeeping company.

"Are there any Chinese? It's best to come here recently, not second or third generation immigrants." Li Ba asked.

When the staff checked, it happened that there was indeed a middle-aged woman who had immigrated from Wuhan, Hubei.

"Big Iron Hammer, please invite her." Seeing that she was a fellow villager, Liu Yifei said hastily.

Li Ba looked at the information. Zhang Yuzhen, 40 years old, is a teacher by profession in China, and her husband is a senior engineer. The family of three immigrated here this year.

"No criminal record?" Li Ba asked.

"Hammer, I'm your fan, please rest assured, I will never recommend workers with any criminal records to you."

The staff laughed.

"OK, that's her." Li Ba smiled.

After signing a name for the staff and making an appointment, the two left.

At this time, in the apartment of an apartment building in the suburbs, Zhang Yuzhen's family of three were full of sadness.

The people from the bank just came and gave them two weeks. If the payment cannot be made on time, the apartment will be repossessed by the bank.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have brought you here!" Liu Cheng sighed.

"Husband, it's useless to say these things now, I hope we can find a job sooner." Zhang Yuzhen sighed.

Thirteen-year-old Liu Wanqing's eyes are red. After half a month, if her parents can't find a job, she will be living on the street. She can't imagine what kind of life it is. Now she really wants to go back to Wuhan.

At this time, Zhang Yuzhen's cell phone rang, and when he saw the number, he immediately became happy.

"Husband, it's the housekeeping company's phone number. There should be news about work." She said happily.

"Hey!"

Liu Cheng nodded again and again, but felt even more guilty in his heart.

His wife was a senior teacher in Wuhan, but now she is so happy for a job as a nanny, all because of his wrong decision.

Zhang Yuzhen hung up the phone, and said with surprise on his face: "Husband, Qingqing, I have to go for an interview. They say it is a Chinese family."

"Yeah, that's great, we don't have to go wandering anymore!" Liu Wanqing cheered.

After hearing this, Liu Cheng and Zhang Yuzhen almost burst into tears.
