The Christmas game of the 2012019 season is slowly coming amid people’s expectations and heated discussions.

Every time there is a focus game, the trend of the entire public opinion will be vividly reflected.

Therefore, whether they are paying attention to the Los Angeles Lakers or the Toronto Raptors, on this day, everyone will turn their attention to the teams and players they support and look forward to.

For the people of Dallas, counting the time, it seems that they have been absent from the Christmas game for a long time.

In the post-Dirk Nowitzki era, although the Dallas Mavericks belong to a big city team, they have always failed to receive official favor and have been absent from Christmas games in recent seasons.

I have to say that this is really a regrettable and helpless reality.

But all this changed with the addition of Bayonet this season.

The traffic and popularity carried by the bayonet itself are extremely terrifying, so terrifying that the alliance officials have to face up to its existence.

As far as this season is concerned, the Dallas Mavericks not only have a quota for the Christmas Day game, but even the number of live broadcasts across the United States is a generation higher than last season.

All this is thanks to the bayonet.

Therefore, Dallas people are even waiting for the start of this Christmas war with a grateful heart.

Although tonight's opponent is the very strong Philadelphia 76ers, in fact, today's Dallas Mavericks fans are not afraid of any team in the league.

From the beginning of the new season to the present, the Dallas Mavericks have achieved the best record in the league. So far, they have only lost 3 games and are the team with the highest winning rate in the entire league.

And a statistic that makes Dallas Mavericks fans even more confident is that the Dallas Mavericks have not lost yet when they faced other top teams in the league this season, maintaining a 100% terrifying winning rate. It is no wonder that many people are making fun of them.

, Rick Carlisle should think of a way, not to let the team always lose in front of weak teams, because if this continues, they may be hacked in the first round of the playoffs.

"This will be the first Christmas game in my career. Obviously, I am looking forward to the Christmas game. Both we and the Philadelphia 76ers are very strong teams, so the outcome of this game is 50-50.

Let’s start, of course, I am confident that I will lead the team to victory in the Christmas game.”

In the interview before the game, Bayonet seemed very confident. He had enough expectations for the upcoming Christmas war. At the same time, he also continued his usual style, which is to be confident enough.

As he said, the Philadelphia 76ers are very strong, but they are still a little bit behind the Dallas Mavericks.

"Although I entered the NBA earlier than him, I must admit that he is my idol. Yes, that's it. He lets people know what the best rookie is. He encourages us young players, as long as we keep attacking

Sex, we are really no worse than those players from the Mesozoic or even the Old Generation, and rookies can also win the championship.”

Embiid, who has always been outspoken, arrogant and extremely confident, unexpectedly gave Bayonet enough recognition before the game. To be honest, this is unbelievable.

Because in everyone's impression, Embiid is a master of defiance. Not only does he have conflicts with many star players during games, but even off the court, there are not many players who can catch his eye.

Although he is very strong and has considerable talents, frankly speaking, his attitude has caused him a lot of trouble.

In this case, he took the initiative to express his admiration for the bayonet.

Is this a sign of weakness?

"That's two different things, man. Although Bayonet is very good, but listen, the Philadelphia 76ers are definitely not weak this season. Our goal is the O'Brien Cup."

Is this true?

People breathed a sigh of relief.

Just say it.

How could Embiid show weakness with his temperament?

Bayonet said that he can lead the Dallas Mavericks to defend their home glory, while Embiid said that the Philadelphia 76ers have the ability to beat any team this season.

Therefore, under this circumstance, the Christmas battle between these two teams has attracted a lot of people's attention.

At seven o'clock in the evening, at the American Airlines Center Arena, home of the Dallas Mavericks, the game officially started with the referee's whistle.

As Embiid said, the Philadelphia 76ers are really good this season, which can be seen from their starting lineup.

Ben Simmons, Redick, Jimmy Butler, Dario Saric, Embiid!

This is a starting lineup with outstanding young athletic ability and both offense and defense. It is no exaggeration to say that this starting lineup of the Philadelphia 76ers is enough to rank in the top three.

So far this season, the Philadelphia 76ers have received very good results from this starting lineup.

As of now, their record ranks second in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Eastern Conference leader Toronto Raptors.

It is worth noting that they have defeated the Toronto Raptors before.

In the eyes of many people, the Eastern Conference champion this season is either the Toronto Raptors or the Philadelphia 76ers.

In other words, the great Embiid is not boasting. This season's Philadelphia 76ers do have the strength to compete for the O'Brien Trophy.

Before this Christmas game, the Philadelphia 76ers had won five consecutive games. Among them, the 2017 No. 1 pick Ben Simmons was in hot form, especially in organizing offense, averaging 10.3 assists per game, surpassing the Philadelphia 76ers'.

The offense is just organized in an orderly manner, which is the biggest contributor to the team's five consecutive victories.

In this case, tonight's Christmas battle, when Ben Simmons faces the bayonet, the story will be too long.

In terms of draft picks, Ben Simmons was the No. 1 pick in 2017, while Bayonet was the last pick.

Judging from the performance of the rookies in their first season, although both of them were selected for the All-Rookie Team, for well-known reasons, Ben Simmons easily won the Best Rookie, while Bayonet won the O'Brien Cup and

Finals MVP.

Frankly speaking, the Bayonet's performance in his rookie season completely crushed Ben Simmons. Because Jiang Hao was with the Spurs and came off the bench in most regular seasons, so he was unable to compete for the Rookie of the Year award.

As for later killing everyone in the playoffs and winning the O'Brien Trophy and Finals MVP, this is simply unimaginable for Ben Simmons.

Make judgments about high and low.

However, the two are both rookies in the 2017 class. The best way to determine which one is stronger is to confront each other face to face in the game. For example, on a stage like the Christmas battle, it is especially obvious.

And from another perspective, Ben Simmons is not bad either. With the aura of "LeBron James' successor", his performance in his first season as a rookie is completely worthy of the Rookie of the Year award, and this season

After his second rookie season, he also ushered in a big breakout.

Although today's Philadelphia 76ers have the great Embiid and Jimmy Butler, to be honest, without Ben Simmons, their offense will feel like it has lost its soul in an instant.

On the court, it was the Dallas Mavericks who took the lead in attacking. As the schedule progresses this season, Luka Doncic is indeed becoming another big surprise for the Dallas Mavericks.

This season, Luka Doncic is definitely the best player for the Dallas Mavericks outside of the bayonet.

So far, he has averaged 145 points, 92 assists and 22 steals per game. You have to remember that he is a first-year rookie.

In the eyes of many people, Luka Doncic this season is not much worse than Ben Simmons last season. He is also the most popular candidate for the Rookie of the Year this season.

Luka Doncic acted very calmly after advancing to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Redick's pressing defense, she used her excellent ball-handling skills to get rid of it, and then broke through and distributed the ball to the left corner.

Matthews.

Matthews made a move, helping the Lone Ranger take the lead in scoring 3 points.

From Luka Doncic's breakthrough pass, and then Matthews' shot, the whole process went smoothly and looked perfect.

On the sidelines, Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle nodded with satisfaction. One of the unspoken rules of the NBA game is to always look for the shooter on the first attack of the game.

After a third of the season, Luka Doncic clearly knows this. In other words, in his eyes, Luka Doncic is definitely a teachable kid.

In the Philadelphia 76ers' offense, after Ben Simmons advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, his first reaction was to find the shooter. However, Redick seemed to be completely entangled by Matthews, and it was impossible for him to hand the ball to Redick.

.

And himself?

To be honest, the Mavericks did not set up defense for him at the top of the arc, but only guarded against his breakthrough. It seems that the whole world knows that Ben Simmons is not good at three-pointers.

Ben Simmons finally got the ball to Jimmy Butler.

Jimmy Butler may not look like much, but he is definitely one of the toughest guys in the league.

Jiang Hao likes players like Jimmy Butler and knows that dealing with such players is not as easy as imagined.

But he still approached Jimmy Butler without hesitation. It was impossible for him to witness Jimmy Butler sending the ball easily into the basket.

On the right side of the free throw line, facing Jiang Hao's defense, Jimmy Butler hesitated. He knew exactly what kind of player Bayonet was. Although this guy didn't look very strong, he was recognized by the league as both offensive and defensive.

One of the representative players.

In other words, the bayonet in front of me is also very good at the defensive end.

Therefore, he hesitated, and the shrimp that was not caught by his wrist that he had planned to take action slipped slipped.

This resulted in that although he completed the shot, there was a problem with the shooting angle.

珰!

The basketball hit the rim.

The rebound was firmly in the hands of DeAndre Jordan. Embiid, who was facing him, honestly didn't even have the courage to block him.
Chapter completed!
