Chapter 1324 The More the Spurs Hate Me, the More I Like Them

It was the end of January, and on the 25th, the Suns arrived in San Antonio.

There was no rice cracker restaurant here, so Duncan found a western restaurant and invited Li Ba to have lunch.

Duncan and Garnett won the lawsuit, but only received a few million dollars in compensation. Fortunately, thanks to Li Ba, the two invested in the wine business, which has a good prospect.

"Tim, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Duncan opposite, with a look of desolation on his face, Li Ba asked in confusion: "Did someone cheat you out of money again?"

"Alas!"

Duncan looked like he had aged twenty years, his back was hunched, and from his sighs, it can be seen that he must be very unhappy in his heart.

"How much was cheated again? Didn't you go bankrupt?" Li Ba asked hurriedly.

Duncan shook his head and sighed again.

"Go ahead, I'll give you some advice. If you want to find a way to make money, I still have a lot of connections, and I guarantee you won't go bankrupt." Li Ba smiled.

"It's not about money." Duncan shook his head and sighed.

"What is that?" Li Ba asked curiously.

Duncan was embarrassed to speak, but he wanted to find someone to talk to about his depression. He hesitated for a long time before speaking out.

It turned out that Duncan found that his wife Amy spent millions of dollars in April 2012, which made him suspicious because he didn't know about it.

He asked someone to investigate and found that the money was used to buy a gym for a man named Jill.

He investigated the man named Jill and found that he was a stripper in a nightclub. What made him even more angry was that during the investigation, he found that his wife had been dating this man for a long time.

Li Ba opened his mouth wide. He didn't expect Duncan to be cheated. He wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that Duncan would fight him. He was so depressed that he had to try his best to divert his attention.

"Tim, I've noticed that Garnett's face is not good recently. Maybe he has the same experience?"

"Tim, is your ability not enough?"

"Tim, maybe you can discuss this problem with LeBron James."

"Tim, you can also find Parker. He has the same experience."

"Tim, maybe you can find Nash. He is actually more pitiful than you..."

You bastard, Duncan endured and endured, and finally couldn't help it. He stood up from his seat and rushed to Li Ba and wrestled.

"Haha..."

Li Ba couldn't help it either. He didn't care that he was pressed to the ground by Duncan, and burst into laughter.

"Damn it!"

The people in the restaurant looked at the two fighting giants, stunned.

"Kachaka..."

There were no reporters with Duncan, but there were a lot of reporters with Li Ba. At this time, their cameras flashed, and everyone's face was red with excitement.

Duncan saw it, got up quickly, and walked quickly out of the store.

Li Ba also climbed up with a smile on his face, took out a handful of US dollars and threw them on the table, and ran out.

"Iron Hammer, what happened?" A reporter asked loudly.

"Nothing, haha, I just made a joke with Tim, yes, that's it." After explaining, Li Ba climbed into Duncan's car with a smile.

Duncan wanted to kick this bastard off, but he still held back, stepped on the accelerator, and the car squeaked and ran away.

"Tim, believe me, I just... just..."

Li Ba wanted to make up a lie, but found that he couldn't find any excuse.

"Iron Hammer, I'm breaking up with you."

Duncan drove while yelling at Li Ba in the co-pilot.

"No, no, Tim, how about this, I'll introduce you to a girlfriend, absolutely beautiful, ten times more beautiful than your wife, how do you feel?" Li Ba shouted hurriedly.

"Get out!"

Duncan cursed angrily.

"Get off!"

Driving to the hotel entrance, Duncan kicked Li Ba off, then stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

"You bastard, I helped you get rich, you are such a piece of shit!"

Li Ba cursed in dissatisfaction, and then said to himself helplessly: "I couldn't help it, did you think I wanted to laugh?"

On the evening of the 26th, the battle between the Suns and the Spurs began.

Since Duncan's return last season, the Spurs' record has improved, and the team has returned to the ranks of strong teams. This is also the first time to play against the Suns after Li Ba's comeback, so the attention is very high, and the media has started to hype the concept of deadly enemies again.

For the speculation of the victory or defeat of the two teams, the media first compares the inside strength of both sides.

Although Duncan is still strong and still belongs to the list of players who play 30 minutes in the regular season, and can still play 19+10 data, he is a 37-year-old veteran after all. The inside combination of him and Bosh is not favored by the media. The combination of Li Ba and Nene or Garnett is even better in the eyes of the media.

On the front line, Artest can only play as a substitute. Kawhi Leonard, a rookie in 2011, is the main small forward of the Spurs. He had 8+5 data in his rookie season, which has improved this season, with 12+6 data, averaging 1.7 steals per game. He is still in the process of training. Popovich hopes to make him the Li Ba of the front line.

As for the guard combination, Parker and Danny Green are at most comparable to Harden and George Hill, and they can't take advantage.

Overall, the media believes that the strength of the Suns is still stronger than that of the Spurs.

Before the game, the starting lineups of both teams were announced.

Suns: Li Ba, Nene, Caron, George Hill, Harden.

Spurs: Duncan, Bosh, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, Parker.

Before the game, the starting lineups of the two teams met at the exit.

"Hey, Tim, long time no see, more than a year, right?" Li Ba took the initiative to say hello.

Duncan glared at Li Ba unhappily, was it your ghost I saw yesterday? He turned his head away and didn't bother to pay attention.

"Hammer!"

Bosh and Parker said hello.

Kawhi Leonard stood at the back, looking at Li Ba, wanting to go up and say hello, but due to his personality, he didn't move and couldn't open his mouth.

He was Gao Yuanyuan's player, but because Li Ba didn't play last season and didn't hold a fly-catching training camp, he didn't integrate into Li Ba's circle of contacts.

Li Ba didn't care much about a second-year rookie, even if it was Gao Yuanyuan's player, she didn't say hello anyway.

When playing away, the Suns will only get boos from the Spurs.

In his rookie season, Li Ba led the Suns to wipe out the Spurs' dream of defending the title. Since then, the Spurs have never left the Western Conference and have been suppressed in the West. They have not even made it to the Western Conference Finals. Finally, Duncan left, and Ginobili and Parker, who were at their peak, also left, leading to the reconstruction of the Spurs. Popovich and the Spurs fans all blamed the Suns and Li Ba for all this.

Because of this, when Li Ba made his final appearance, the boos rose to the sky as if to smash Li Ba's head, and even some debris was thrown down from the stands.

Li Ba walked through the passage with an indifferent look. The buzzing and thundering boos seemed like a gentle breeze, which had no effect on him at all, but made him happy.

Maybe some people hate a weak person, but they don't hate a weak person. Only the strong can be hated because they can't defeat him.

The more the Spurs hate him, the more he likes him.
