This battle between the top of the East and the East is naturally the one that fans talk about the most.

Discussions about this game on major social media are extremely enthusiastic.

For example, on Twitter, a fan's random question triggered thousands of discussions!

His question is - "It's finally here! The second match between the Rockets and the Heat! The last time the Heat defeated halfway through, he should have performed better this time, right?"

Soon, a Heat fan retweeted the tweet and gave his answer in a long article:

“As someone who has witnessed all the Heat’s games this season, it’s necessary for me to say what I think.”

"First of all, both teams have undergone huge personnel changes in the offseason. But the difference is that the Rockets have been very healthy from the beginning, with good players in five positions."

"The Heat are different. Before the three giants cooperate, they are actually the core players' style of playing, and their running-in period is naturally much longer than the Rockets who perform their own duties."

"Also, the Heat's center and point guard are very weak and there are no trustworthy players."

"So, it's normal for me to win the first encounter between the two teams."

"But time has changed, and after half a season of running-in, the Heat have basically found their own style of play. The three giants have good chemistry and strengthening in other positions are also doing a good job!"

"In the center position, Ilgoskas and Eric Danpier can basically defend the penalty area. In terms of point guards, Chalmos and Arroyo have their own advantages in attacking and defense."

"Simply put, this Heat has been polished and its current 10-game winning streak also shows their competitiveness!"

"This time I meet the Rockets again, I believe the Heat will come up with a completely different competitive level and fight a comeback!"

This long article seems to represent the voices of many Heat fans, so it was praised and reposted a lot.

Of course, if there are supporters, there will be doubters and opponents.

"At the meeting of James' Big Three, it was said that the Heat not only wanted to win one championship, not two, not three, but seven! As a result, a Rockets broke out halfway, and I wanted to see how he fulfilled his boast of the bulls he had made at that time."

"A pure passerby is not a fan of the two teams. Objectively speaking, the Rockets are obviously the team with higher talent and thicker benches. I guess if the Heat want to compete, the Big Three will basically play the whole game."

"In my opinion, James is the best player in the league now (Bryant was troubled by a knee injury, and McGrady can continue his performance), but the Heat are not the best team, their 'long and short feet' are too obvious!"

"I'll just say... The Rockets can't solve the problem with Yao Ming."

......

In addition to the fans expressing their opinions, major sports media and commentators have also expressed their opinions.

Overall, the Rockets are the team that is generally favored, but many fans think that the Heat will play with strength and win by blowing a little cold.

Just in the hot discussion atmosphere, the Christmas war officially kicked off!

............

On December 25, local time in Beautiful Country, Toyota Center Arena.

The highly anticipated Rockets-Heat second match came as scheduled!

Such an important game, CCTV will naturally not miss it.

"Hello everyone, everyone, the NBA event broadcast brought to you by TV-5."

"I'm Yu Jia!"

"I am Yang Yi."

In the live broadcast room, two commentators began.

"What we bring to you today is the focus of the Christmas battle - the Houston Rockets vs. Miami Heat!"

"Guide Yang, can you briefly analyze this game for us?"

Yu Jia asked.

"OK."

"The two teams are the top of the East and West respectively. This game basically represents the highest level of the NBA today, and it is very likely to be a preview of the finals."

"The recent performance of both teams has improved significantly at the beginning of the game season."

"My feeling about this game is...the two teams are in the same position, but the Rockets have a slightly superior position."

Yang Yi analyzed.

"What do you think the Heat need to do to win this game?"

Yu Jia continued to ask.

"I think there are three points to win the Heat."

"First, use James and Wade's physical talents to create a suffocating high-level oppression."

"And I think that the Rockets' main point guard, Stephen Curry, can be regarded as the key target. His thin body may become the Rockets' breakthrough when fighting under high pressure!"

"Second, Big Z (Ilgoskas) and Danpier performed well, limiting Yao Ming to a certain extent."

"Third, ensure success rate on the offensive end and prevent the Rockets from playing the counterattack they are best at."

Yang Yi told the story one by one.

"Thank you for your sharing! Now both sides have announced the starting lineup, let's take a look."

"On the Rockets, Curry and McGrady partnered in the backcourt, George and Griffin formed the forward line, and our Yao in the inside line."

"It can be seen that the Rockets' starting lineup is very young, with three rookies in their early twenties, and the oldest McGrady is only 31 years old!"

"On the Heat, Puerto Rican Magicians - Arroyo and Wade are in the backcourt, James and Bosh form the front line, and Big Z guards the penalty area."

"It is because of this lineup that the Heat have won many battles recently. I have to say that these five people are both offensive and defensive, and their gorgeous style is so beautiful that people are looking forward to it."

"Okay, now the game is about to begin, let's hand the camera forward!"

After saying that, Yu Jia waved his hand, and the picture turned around, and came to the Toyota Center Arena.

............

At this time, the players on both sides were doing the final warm-up.

Shen Fei also arrived at the stadium early today, and was sitting in the exclusive private room waiting for the start of the game.

In his spare time, he took out his cell phone and greeted Ajiali.

Even though he had been traveling to the beautiful country for more than half a year, Shen Fei regarded himself as the descendants of Yan and Huang from beginning to end.

Therefore, in his opinion, Christmas is nothing more than an ordinary festival.

The real New Year (Spring Festival) will take a few months.

But there is a saying that goes to the local customs, and Shen Fei is a person who knows etiquette.

In a beautiful country, he is naturally happy to experience the Christmas atmosphere with others.

"I have prepared apples for you. Are you willing to come and pick them up?"

Ajiali asked.

Shen Fei was slightly surprised when he saw this text message.

From this text message, we can see that Ajiali's favorability towards him is already very obvious.

It is not difficult to understand that although Ajiali is an Asian, she has received Western education since childhood and expressing her feelings so boldly.

"Well, I'll go find you when the game is over."

Chen Fei replied.

Then, he contacted the assistant again and asked him to prepare an apple as a gift in exchange.

After doing all this, Chen Fei turned his gaze back to the stadium.

At this time, the players from both sides had already walked towards the center of the stadium.

Since it was Christmas, the players were very excited.

On the Heat side, James walked to the technical station and threw a handful of magnesium powder for a long time.

Wade ran to his penalty area, pulled the basket, and did a few pull-ups.

The Rockets are more Buddhist.

Curry pointed his hands at the sky and prayed.

McGrady was still sleepy and "bored" to wait for the start of the game.

Yao Ze and Daz were having a laugh.

But when the referee walked to the center circle with the basketball, the players of both teams put away their smiles.

They all know that this game is of great significance!

Both sides regard the championship as their only goal - not winning the championship is failure.

If you really meet in the finals, then whoever wins this game will have a psychological advantage!

Both teams are very clear about this and therefore do not want to lose the game.

The war is about to break out!

............

As the referee threw the ball high, the game officially began!
Chapter completed!
