Chapter 590 Dayao Intends to Leave Houston
At this time, the on-site interview started, and Li Ba was surrounded by the largest number of reporters.
"Hammer, if the Suns really sweep the Pistons, the Pistons will become the most eye-catching background board, and then your two teams will really become mortal enemies. Do you have anything to say about this?"
A FOX reporter asked first.
"What about a sworn enemy? Would I care about a sworn enemy?"
Li Ba answered this question in a flat tone.
"Hammer, have you ever thought about returning to Phoenix to win the championship?" A Phoenix sports reporter asked excitedly.
"What Phoenix needs is a championship, not necessarily to win there." Li Ba laughed.
"Hammer, you did what you said. You only used 3 finals to break the record created by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 6 finals."
Barkley said at this time.
Li Ba smiled and said, "Of course what I say counts, and it always counts. I said I would sweep the Spurs, and I swept them."
"You said you want to hit 5 pairs, have you done it now?" A reporter sang a different tune.
Li Ba said without changing his face: "I was joking, can you take a joke seriously? You really don't have a sense of humor at all."
Everyone is speechless, really shameless, if you do it, you take it seriously, if you don't, it's just a joke?
"If you can't sweep the Pistons, what do you say?" the reporter asked.
"Then go back to Phoenix and win the championship." Li Ba said without hesitation.
"Ha ha……"
Barkley burst out laughing first, and then everyone laughed.
After finishing the on-site interview, Li Ba went to the post-match press conference with Marbury, Marion and Payton.
"Coach Larry Brown, the team is now 0-3 behind. Why did this result happen?" A reporter from the Detroit Sports News who has been with the team all year round asked very seriously.
Hearing this kind of questioning, Larry Brown's face was very bad. He thought for a while and said:
"In this game, Ben Wallace took a tee in the opening game, which I think is unfair, which seriously affected his defensive strength.
Then many penalties were biased towards the away team, and we are the home team. For example, Rashid was knocked into the air several times, and he was even injured, which made our G4 battle very difficult. And Chauncey, a lot of guys got dragged down, got knocked down, but somebody only got two fouls, it's not fair. We will complain to the league, we want to be treated fairly. "
"Hammer, you only had two fouls in the game, do you think it's fair?" the reporter immediately asked Li Ba.
Li Ba sneered and said, "I only averaged 1.5 fouls per game in the regular season this season, but I got two fouls in this game. I also think the penalty is too harsh for me."
"Puchi!"
Some people couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
"Coach Larry Brown, the team is about to be swept away, can you make it back?"
The reporter once again aimed at Labrilan, and he didn't even mention the comeback anymore, which shows that he is already very pessimistic about the results of the finals.
"In G4, we will risk everything." Larry Brown said with a sullen face.
"Ben, your restrictions on the hammer have always been unsatisfactory. Do you have anything to explain?" Barkley asked.
Da Ben's face was three points darker than black iron, and he said grimly: "There is nothing to explain, we will strive to win the G4 game."
"So Coach Brown, will Rasheed Wallace's injury affect him from playing in G4?" Barkley asked again.
"That's where I get angry. There's a guy whose blocks are aimed at hurting people. He blocked Rashid to the floor many times. This is extremely unsportsmanlike behavior..."
Larry Brown roared angrily.
"Don't pay attention to him, everyone understands that he is just shirking responsibility for himself." Frank whispered to Li Ba.
Barkley smiled and asked again: "Then Mr. Coach, how do you think the hammer will cover Rashid? Gently cover the cover, like a mother covering her son with a quilt?"
"Puchi! Haha..." The audience burst into laughter.
"you?"
Larry Brown looked at Barkley with a livid face.
Li Ba said angrily: "Charles, my gender is male, we are playing in the NBA, not the WNBA."
"Okay, okay, is it okay for dad to cover his son with the quilt?" Barkley immediately corrected his mistake.
"let's go."
Larry Brown was so angry that he was about to die, he greeted Big Ben and the others, and left in a huff.
The Pistons left, the Suns answered some questions, and the press conference ended hastily.
Li Ba didn't get up until 10 o'clock in the morning the next day.
At this time, the sports news across the United States is full of news that the defending champion Pistons are about to be swept away, and the Suns are about to win the championship with a complete victory.
In China, the news about Li Ba and the Suns has occupied all the news pages, and the CCTV 7 o'clock news has also carried out a detailed report.
Because of the news of the championship, Li Erwan's reputation was suppressed in the country for the time being.
Li Ba simply flipped through the news on the computer, and Marbury, who was in the same room, also got up.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Ba was about to take a bath when he brought Dayao and the bus to find him.
"Hey, Yao..."
Marbury greeted the three and went to take a shower first.
"Tie Hammer, you are really good at it, are you really going to win the championship?" Dayao said.
"Dayao, why is this tone full of envy and jealousy?" Li Ba smiled triumphantly.
"What the hell, I'm just envious, who doesn't want to be a champion?" Dayao said frankly.
"Then how's your business?" Li Ba asked.
"This side is unwilling to let people go. The boss has looked for me several times, and McGrady has also looked for me. Some fans are also scolding me, and some are trying to keep me. Sigh, trouble, headache, I still have some concerns."
Dayao said helplessly.
"Is your boss willing to spend money to strengthen?" Li Ba asked again.
Dayao was silent for a while and said, "Bill Duffy talked to Dawson, the boss won't use the money to pay the luxury tax."
"That's not the end? He clearly wants to make Chinese money from you. Do you calculate how many times his net worth has doubled in the past three years? How many times has the market value of the Mosaic team doubled? It's too picky! Let me tell you , our boss can promise me that if necessary, it will exceed the luxury line." Li Ba said.
"You are lucky, you met a rich man." Dayao said enviously.
"Fuck, the situation is different. Our boss only took part of the shares, and he didn't pay the money alone. Of course, it also depends on the person. Our boss is definitely much more generous than your boss." Li Ba said.
Having said that, he asked again: "How many times has Kobe approached you?"
"I've called several times." Dayao said.
"Don't give your stingy boss a cornucopia, go to the Lakers and be the second in charge. If you really want to leave, how can the Mosaic team keep you?"
Li Ba continued to encourage.
The four chatted for a long time, and Dayao decided to hand over the matter to Bill Duffy. He would go back to China in a few days and avoid this matter.
This attitude basically shows that he already intends to leave Houston.
