Chapter 439 Unexpected scene, new shoes are released
The Christmas Day game between the Suns and the Lakers has attracted the attention of a large number of fans before it even started. The two teams are old enemies, and the Suns just eliminated the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals last season. Fans like this kind of continuity story.
Chen Yan has no special plans for Christmas. Chen Yan has no feelings for this holiday. It is not even comparable to ordinary rest days. On ordinary rest days, Chen Yan can have a holiday, but on Christmas Day, he has to work overtime to play games.
Doc Rivers said that the Christmas Day game was a reward for great teams and great players, but Chen Yan found it a kind of torture.
The Christmas game between the Suns and the Lakers was a lot to watch. The two teams are mortal enemies and have never dealt with each other. Last season, the Suns stepped on the corpses of the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals to reach the Finals.
Of course, the biggest stunt of this game is Chen Yan vs. Kobe, 0vs24.
NBA officials and outside media are also building momentum for the duel between the two and creating controversy.
It is no exaggeration to say that the popularity of 0vs24 has exceeded that of 23vs24. Fans think that the matchup between Chen Yan and Kobe is more interesting. Both of them have a strong desire to win. They have the league's top singles ability. They are in the international arena.
Going up against each other and fighting on the floor of the Western Conference Finals, these are the two people who really have a storyline, while James and Kobe are more like a combination that was forced to be paired up.
They are indeed opponents who were forced together, simply because they are the two most eye-catching public enemies in the alliance.
Any old grudges?
It doesn’t matter, who gave you something to talk about?
But now that a more topical player has emerged, the league feels that Chen Yan vs. Kobe has more selling points from both a commercial value and a competitive perspective, so James was quickly ignored by David Stern.
Two days before Christmas, the Christmas atmosphere in Phoenix is already very strong. Although it cannot compare with big cities like New York and Los Angeles, you can still feel the festive atmosphere everywhere when walking on the streets.
The Christmas dinner usually takes place on the night of the 24th. Family and friends gather together to decorate the Christmas tree, have a sumptuous dinner, and taste Christmas fruits to spend a wonderful Christmas Eve.
Chen Yan accepted Nash's invitation to spend Christmas Eve at his house. This time Chen Yan was not alone. He also brought Swift with him.
Nash's twin daughters, Bella and Laura, were very excited to see Chen Yan. They kept surrounding Chen Yan and shouting "Godfather". Chen Yan also prepared exquisite Christmas gifts for them. The gift was picked by Swift. She
Know what girls like.
Because of Nash, Chen Yan now feels at home in the United States. This night, Chen Yan and Nash did not discuss the upcoming Christmas game. They were both enjoying the time together with friends and family.
Christmas is here, and Chen Yan received a mysterious gift package early in the morning. Inside the gift package was his second-generation combat boots [Yan II].
Li Ning spent a lot of money on this generation of boots, hiring legendary designer Peter Moore from aj1 and Adidas three stripes as the chief designer.
Regarding this pair of personal boots, Chen Yan did not participate too much in the design. He was very confident in Pete Moore's ability. The master is the master. Chen Yan's first reaction when he saw this pair of shoes was that he did not trust the wrong person!
This pair of shoes is matched with white, brown and golden orange. The upper is made of white leather. The texture of this pair of shoes is really very good. The special wood texture of the brown part adds details. It feels very good to the touch of suede.
The midsole and shoelace eyelets are embellished with liquid gold, and Chen Yan’s exclusive logo and jersey number 0 are printed on the heel.
The whole pair of shoes looks simple and high-end, and they feel very comfortable when worn. Chen Yan’s team is preparing for him to debut these new boots in the Christmas game. There is no more suitable stage than this. The sneakers will also be on the second day of the Christmas game.
On sale.
After doing some simple shooting training, he went to rest. He usually doesn't do a lot of practice on game days.
When he walked into the arena tunnel in the afternoon, Chen Yan discovered many Christmas elements, including a giant Santa Claus that successfully attracted Chen Yan's attention.
Chen Yan thought he got the doll model somewhere, but as soon as he walked to it, the giant doll suddenly came to life!
Chen Yan was startled and subconsciously kicked the doll's crotch.
The puppet fell to the ground in pain, and the staff hidden around him rushed out. When Chen Yan asked, he found out that the person inside the giant puppet was Jordan, and they were preparing to carry out a prank.
The staff did not ventilate Chen Yan in advance. What stands out is the truth. Jordan's final reaction is indeed very real. Fortunately, Chen Yan didn't hit too hard, otherwise Jordan would be the first to miss the Christmas game because he was kicked in the crotch by a teammate.

The scoreboard on the big screen at the Sunshine Arena was also decorated with Christmas lights, and the music in the stadium before the game started was changed to Christmas songs. Most importantly, the number of gifts thrown into the fans' stands was doubled.
In addition to the game between the Suns and the Lakers today, the NBA has also arranged three Christmas games, namely Wizards vs. Cavaliers, Hornets vs. Magic, Trail Blazers vs. Mavericks, and Spurs vs. There are a total of four games scheduled on Christmas Day, from the East Coast
The time will start in the afternoon and continue until midnight Eastern Time.
Of these three games, the Cavaliers vs. Wizards have a stronger storyline. The Cavaliers encountered the Wizards in the playoffs for three consecutive years from 2005 to 2008. Every time the two sides met, they were stunned. The most classic game was in 2006.
In the G6 of 2016, Gilbert Arenas, who played for the Wizards, led the team to resist at home and avoid being eliminated. The two armies fought fiercely and the game entered overtime. The overtime was about to end.
In 15 seconds, Arenas was fouled by his opponent and got two free throw opportunities.
After Arenas missed the first free throw and was about to take the second shot, James came over and patted Arenas on the chest and said a few words in his ear, while Arenas just nodded.
Ignoring him, Arenas then missed another free throw and missed both free throws.
These two free throws also led to the Wizards' final defeat. The league's arrangement is to hope that the Wizards can create some sparks with the Cavaliers, but it is estimated to be unlikely. Arenas has been reimbursed for the season due to injury. It will be difficult for the Wizards without a general.
Resist the knight.
The league has arranged 4 games at 4 different time points to ensure that fans will have NBA games to watch on Christmas Day.
During the warm-up period, Chen Yan put on his new boots. Chen Yan did not change them on the technical stage this year. It would be too boring to do the same thing every year.
During the warm-up period, Chen Yan took a few minutes to be interviewed by an ESPN reporter on the sidelines.
"How does it feel to win 16 consecutive games?" an ESPN reporter asked.
Chen Yan laughed and said: "I have forgotten how to lose."
"Chen, would you regard today's game as a battle of revenge?"
After hearing this, Chen Yan was confused: "Revenge? Revenge for what? Did the Lakers beat us to advance to the finals and win the championship last season?"
After hearing this, the reporter quickly explained: No, no, no, I mean, the Lakers were the winner in the last match between the Suns and the Lakers."
"Do you know I didn't play in that game?" Chen Yan asked.
"Yes, I know..." the ESPN reporter replied.
"Oh, I thought you didn't know. Now that you know, let's move on to the next question." Chen Yan said.
It's not that Chen Yan is too strong, but sometimes reporters' questions really make people confused.
At this time, Chen Yan's latest single "i-gotta-feeling" was played in the arena.
"Have you heard this song?" Chen Yan asked.
"No." The ESPN reporter shook his head.
This song was just released today on Christmas Day, so it’s normal for reporters not to have heard it.
"How do you feel?" Chen Yan continued to ask.
The reporter glanced at Chen Yan and said, mmp, who of the two of us is interviewing whom?
After hesitating for a while, the reporter still answered Chen Yan's question: "The rhythm is very strong and it sounds very brainwashing. Whose song is this?"
Chen Yan pointed at himself with a smile, and the reporter looked surprised: "God! Chen, you are such a genius. You can always create such nice and catchy songs. How do you do it?"
"It's just like playing basketball, everything goes as it should."
After finally getting into the rhythm of the interview, the reporter asked another dumb question: "Chen, would you consider holding a concert?"
Chen Yan was dumbfounded after hearing this. He had already planned on playing two songs for a woolen concert. He is not the kind of person who can perform giao on stage for two hours...
After a few words of prevarication, Chen Yan got rid of the reporter's nonsensical interview and continued to devote himself to the pre-match warm-up.
"The starting lineups for both sides have been released. The Los Angeles Lakers sent Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Garnett, and Marcus Camby."
"The starting five of the Phoenix Suns are Nash, Chen Yan, Raja Bell, Diaw and Stoudemire.
During the player warm-up period, Barkley and Kenny Smith introduced the situation of the two teams.
This game is broadcast live across the United States, and CCTV Sports Channel will naturally not miss it. Suns vs. Lakers is the most entertaining game among all Christmas games, and tv5 will also choose to broadcast this game.
