Chapter 680 Terrifying Rebounding Ability
Sure enough, 30 seconds later, when Li Ba grabbed another offensive rebound, he became the first in the history of this record, with 36 rebounds in a single game.
In the end, this number became 43, and Li Ba grabbed 10 rebounds again in the fourth quarter.
"Terrifying rebounding ability!" Kenny Smith shook his head and sighed.
"The total number of rebounds tonight is as high as 102. It is the Knicks' outside shooting and the Suns' strong outside defense that made this data possible." Barkley laughed.
"Even so, 43 rebounds in a single game is terrifying." Kenny Smith said.
But unfortunately, Li Ba did not complete 5*5, and in the end he only got 4 assists.
At the end, 122:96, the Suns won by 26 points.
"I said we will win, the Knicks are not qualified to beat us." In the interview after the game, Li Ba said with his chin raised.
"But Hammer, you grabbed so many rebounds and scored 30 points, but the Suns only won by 26 points, what does that mean?" a reporter asked.
"Does this mean that your teammates are useless?" A local reporter challenged unabashedly.
Li Ba said directly: "Is 26 points a little? I'm pretty sure that my teammates must be better than the Knicks. They are members of the championship, and the Knicks are nothing."
The reporter was so angry that his face turned black. Is there such a direct slap in the face? So careless!
At this time, Li Ba took the initiative to say: "I even think that after the end of this season, this Knicks team will collapse, because it has no future, and it makes the Knicks see no hope of a championship. Disbanded, run and bomb should be abandoned."
"Oh hoo!"
Many reporters screamed strangely, and Li Dazui was giving them information again.
"Hammer, don't leave the NBA!" A reporter shouted.
"That's not good." Li Ba laughed.
"We will support you." A reporter shouted.
"Really? A big mouth doesn't count." Li Ba pouted.
Then Li Ba finished the on-site interview and returned to the locker room.
Twenty minutes later, he followed Frank to the press conference.
"Hammer, are you really going to leave the NBA?"
The first person to be called was a reporter from the New York Times, who did not ask questions related to the game.
"I said at the press conference in the afternoon why I entered the professional boxing world." Li Ba said.
"I can understand that if you get the honor you deserve here, then you will stay here?" the reporter asked.
"I deserve enough respect, and fair competition is the respect for me, otherwise I will leave." Li Ba nodded.
"Iron Hammer, have you signed with WMA? Will you enter Hollywood?" The second one was a reporter from ESPN.
"No, I'm not interested in filming. My interest lies in sports, which is where my talent lies." Li Ba said.
After the press conference, Li Ba returned to the hotel with the team.
At 10 a.m. the next day, after Li Ba woke up, Gao Yuanyuan and Bill Duffy told him that ESPN, FOX, and HBO had already contacted the promotion team, intending to win the broadcast rights of the cross-border battle.
At noon, Li Ba sent Liu Yifei to the plane to Phoenix. There were still several away games, but he didn't let the girl run around with him.
Next, the Suns fought against three Eastern Conference teams including the Wizards, Bobcats, and Bulls, and got a record of one win and two losses.
The time has entered 2006. On New Year's Day, the Suns flew back to the west and arrived in Minnesota. They will challenge the Timberwolves on January 2.
The current team record is 21 wins and 8 losses, falling to third in the West, behind the Spurs and the Lakers.
The Spurs are currently 24 wins and 7 losses, and the Lakers are 22 wins and 8 losses.
The Suns are in the same district as the Lakers, so the competition with the Lakers is even greater. There is only half a win difference, and the gap is not that big.
After arriving at the hotel, Li Ba opened his laptop and logged into the official website of the league.
The best player of the month for December will be announced today. He once again averaged a double-twenty+5*5 horror data in this month. In his heart, he is still a well-deserved best player of the month in the Western Conference. He even thinks that There are no competitors.
He shared a room with Barbossa, and the latter poked his head over at this moment, staring at the screen with his eyeballs spinning, and suddenly shouted: "Yes, yes, boss, you have it!"
"You have it!"
Li Ba angrily pushed Barbosa's head away, looked at it, and sure enough, he was elected as the Best of the Month in the Western Conference in December.
"Boss, congratulations, the best month in a row!" Barbosa said excitedly.
"Isn't it a matter of course? There's nothing to be happy about. Next season I'll be in a row, and then next season, and next season."
Li Ba smiled proudly.
On the second day of the game, Barbosa returned from injury, but still played as a substitute.
In the end, the Suns defeated the Timberwolves, tied the record of the Lakers, and returned to the second place in the Western Conference.
At noon on the 3rd, the team returned to Phoenix, and there will be three home games next.
When Li Ba drove home, there was a group of dogs in the house, which made it much more lively.
After not seeing each other for a week, after sending Zhang Yuzhen home, Li Ba dragged the girl to toss for three hours before giving up.
At this time, in a boxing training room only a few minutes drive from his home, several people were training.
These people are all tall, muscular and strong men, and they look very bored, chatting a few words from time to time while training.
"You think that hammer is just a stunt?" A boxer who was hitting a punching bag stopped and asked.
"I don't think he has the strength to challenge the world's champion boxer. Isn't it a gimmick?" A fist who was doing strength training also stopped and replied.
"I think I could knock him out in half a round, not even that," said another fist.
A middle-aged black man who looked like a coach next to him said: "Don't care if he is a gimmick or something, just do your own thing."
"Of course." Several fists nodded.
These boxers are all active boxers of Arum’s promotional agency. They are all first-class or quasi-first-class fighters, and they have a certain status in the professional boxing world. unsatisfied.
At this time, the coach's cell phone rang. After seeing it, he hurriedly walked aside and connected the call.
"Hey, I'm Will Ross."
"Hello, I'm Iron Hammer, I'm here now." Li Ba's voice sounded from over there.
"Oh? Oh, yes, we are all waiting for you." Rose nodded.
After hanging up the phone, everyone else looked over, Ross nodded and said, "He's here, our work is about to start."
"It's finally here," one guy said.
A minute later, Li Ba came to the training room that Arum had prepared for him.
There are a total of seven people inside, three sparring boxers, a target teacher, a trainer, a coach, and a doctor.
"I'm Will Ross, I'm the coach here now, and I'll be your assistant in future boxing matches." Rose introduced himself.
"Hello, Will." Li Ba shook hands.
After greeting the others, he asked, "I'm short on time, let's start now."
"OK, we need to get you used to this movement first, do some basic training." Rose said.
