Chapter 574 Christmas Battle Knight vs Spurs 4k(1/2)
Every Christmas, the NBA arranges several heavyweight games, which are called Christmas games.
Since the 1940s, the NBA has had a tradition of launching heavyweight games on Christmas Eve.
This business idea seemed quite advanced at the time.
After television broadcasts became popular, watching exciting NBA games live on Christmas Eve has become an American tradition.
With the rapid development of the Internet, Chinese people's attention to the Christmas war is gradually increasing.
In 2005, domestic mobile phones could already watch games via text live broadcast.
On the night of Christmas, Dubov, Sister Hua and Lao Shen stayed at STO’s villa to watch the upcoming STO game.
Sister Hua took a sip of Dubov's freshly brewed coffee and couldn't help but praise: "Nina, the coffee you brew is really delicious, the taste is very rich and very fragrant."
Dobrev smiled.
Sister Hua looked at Lao Shen aside and said, "Isn't that right?"
Lao Shen, who had been looking up at the ceiling and wondering what he was thinking, quickly pressed the cigarette butt that burned his finger into the ashtray and put it out, and replied: "You know I never drink..."
In Sister Hua's eyes, "I urge you to take a sip of coffee", Lao Shen quickly picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"Well, it sure tastes delicious!"
"Let me tell you." Sister Hua immediately turned around, took advantage of the opportunity to hold Dubov's hand and said, "I think a few years ago, we were like this, sitting in front of the TV to watch STO's upcoming game. At that time, STO
He is just a substitute player for the college league team. Although he does not play much time, he is very persistent and works very hard..."
Bah bah bah...
Lao Shen lit a cigarette, sat far away from Sister Hua and Dobrev, took a deep breath, and entered his own world.
This year, the Chinese men's football team performed well in the World Youth Championship, with the emergence of young talents such as Chen Tao, Gao Lin, Zhou Haibin, Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Xuri, Hao Junmin, etc., and won the Four Nations Championship for the first time in the East Asian Championship. The men's football team still has
Future...
Lao Shen slowly blew out the smoke ring, and a rare smile gradually appeared on his face.
Over the years, Lao Shen has been worried about the Chinese men's football team.
"I spent the whole day thinking about it and cutting fruit!"
Sister Hua's shout brought Lao Shen back to reality from his dream.
...
On the day of the Christmas war, the alliance has scheduled two major games.
The Cavaliers will play the Spurs at home, and the Heat will play the Lakers at home.
The game between the Lakers and the Heat started first.
The Lakers, who have been coached by Jackson again, are no longer as headless as they were last season.
The triangle offense tactics reappear on the Lakers court.
Kobe only needs to play his role as a cold-blooded killer, while the versatile Odom has become an indispensable part of the triangle offense.
In this game, the Lakers worked hard to win.
Kobe was firing on all cylinders, putting enough pressure on the Heat on both offense and defense.
Facing Wade, Kobe scored 37 points on the offensive end, and also contributed 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks. On the defensive end, he allowed Wade to make only 5 of 15 shots and only scored 18 points and 4 blocks.
He had 5 rebounds and assists, and his performance completely suppressed Wade.
The Lakers' second leader Lamar Odom also performed well, scoring 14 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.
O'Neal contributed 18 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.
The Sharks are old, but they still have strong dominance at the basket, which is definitely not comparable to the likes of Chris Mihm.
The former White Sharks were completely exposed in this game. They only scored 9 points and 4 rebounds. The statistics of 4 turnovers and 5 fouls were even more eye-catching.
In addition to Wade and O'Neal, Williams contributed 14 points for the Heat, and Payton even scored 21 points.
The Heat's overall strength is indeed better than the Lakers.
Kobe was the best player in the entire game, but the Heat won the game.
After the game, Kobe and O'Neal put aside their previous differences and shared a warm Christmas hug.
O'Neal even commented on Kobe: "My little brother is still full of firepower. He has become one of the best scorers in the league today. I am proud of him. He has become the leader of the Lakers."
Jackson promised Kobe after the game that the team would recruit at least one All-Star player to assist him.
Kobe Bryant's Christmas revenge campaign comes to nothing.
...
This season's Spurs team is on full display.
The GDP portfolio created by Popovich has begun to mature.
The local Duncan, the European Parker, and the South American Ginobili, these three began to become the new core of the Spurs.
Parker's performance this season has been particularly outstanding. He averaged 18.9 points per game, beating Duncan's 18.6 points, becoming the first Spurs player to unseat Duncan from the team's scoring title in the past eight seasons.
While scoring sharply, Parker averaged 5.8 assists per game, and his 54.8% field goal percentage was particularly terrifying. You must know that Parker is an outside player, but his pull-up jump shot has become unsolvable. "French sports car"
"The name is getting louder and louder day by day.
Although he has become the team's second-leading scorer, Duncan is still an indispensable cornerstone of the team.
Averaged 18.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.0 blocks per game, still an MVP-level performance.
Ginobili, the youngest member of the GDP team, became the Spurs' demon sword.
The team's third-highest average of 15.1 points per game and the team's highest average of 1.6 steals per game make Ginobili the most missing piece of the puzzle for the team.
In addition to the defensive hero Bowen, the old and strong Finley, the magic pitcher Barry, the king of chaos Van Exel, the key Mr. Horry...
The Spurs are already first in the Western Conference, and the win gap with the Suns, second in the Western Conference, is still widening.
If you want to say which team has the best chance to represent the Western Conference in the finals, it is the San Antonio Spurs.
Therefore, this Christmas battle is also known as a preview of this season's finals.
...
The atmosphere inside the Quicken Loans Center arena, decorated with various Christmas props, was lively.
Since it was Christmas, in addition to hot dogs, popcorn, and beer, there were many other snacks and drinks, and various Christmas clowns performed various shows and magic, which made the place more popular in advance.
What STO didn't expect was that Arenas, Jefferson, and Woods would come together to watch the game.
The big screen at the scene also captured the three people, and whistles immediately sounded one after another.
Good guy, that's the general, New Jersey Ma Sanhe and so on!
In addition, a tall, thin man who was wrapped up tightly quietly slipped into the venue and found a remote corner to sit down.
Accidentally, a steel pen slipped from the pocket.
"Hey, bro, your penny dropped."
"Thanks."
...
Today's Christmas fight will be broadcast live on TNT.
Barkley, who had just finished commentating on the game between the Lakers and the Heat, was still unfinished. His chatter had not stopped since the last game. When the live broadcast turned to the Cavaliers versus the Spurs, Barkley was actually very happy. After all, he could comment on the STO game.
But it was a bit much to commentate for two consecutive games, so I pretended to yell: "I want more money!"
The game was about to start. Shentong came to the rostrum, grabbed two hands of magnesium powder, and threw it into the sky towards the fans behind the rostrum, causing a burst of screams.
Then, Shentong high-fived James and Wagner respectively, blew into his hands twice, and beat his chest, preparing to go on stage.
All Cavaliers players know that this Spurs is their real opponent.
It's like a spring. You have enough strength, but you just can't crush it. But when you relax a little, it can immediately put pressure on you.
This kind of opponent who is unbeatable and always ready to counterattack is the most troublesome. You have to maintain a high degree of concentration throughout the game, otherwise you may be quietly destroyed by him if you are not careful.
...
For this game, the Cavaliers arranged their regular starting lineup.
Center: Big Z, Power Forward: Gooden, Small Forward: James, Shooting Guard: Shentong, Point Guard: Wagner.
The Spurs' starting lineup is also the same as it was at the start of the season.
Center: Nesterovich, power forward: Duncan, small forward: Bowen, shooting guard: Ginobili, point guard: Parker.
As soon as the players from both sides came on the court, Bowen glanced at Shentong.
"roll!"
"okay!"
After the opening, it turned out that Bowen was defending James, while Ginobili was mainly defending Shentong.
To be continued...
