For NBA players who are in a strong team, they do not have Christmas holidays.

Just like NFL has Super Bowl and NHL has Winter Classics, NBA also needs its own holiday competition, and the Christmas battle was born for this.

Being in a strong team, it is inevitable that you can spend Christmas Eve with your family. They need competitions. For some people, it is a happy thing to be able to send competitions to their families during this festival, while for others, they are more eager to rest at home than to come to the live competition.

Louis M. Lore is a representative figure among them. The main reason why he wants to rest at home instead of playing away games is that he won't have much playing time tonight. Facing a strong opponent like the Lakers, his playing time is destined to be limited.

While warming up, Mo Mengchen paid attention to the Lakers' situation.

This Lakers team is very different from the Lakers last season.

After the finals of last season, Glenn Rice's contract expired, and the Lakers had no intention of keeping it. The two sides broke up peacefully. Then, a brother named Isaiah Ledel came to Angel City.

For the defending champion, this is just a brutal news. The Lakers management is completely unsure whether it can guarantee that they will not be choked to death when they are sold.

Phil Jackson, who knows how to cook thorns, is certainly always confident: compared to his old man's crazy arm-to-back with Fraser in the 1970s, and the fashionable gentleman and super thorns Rodman in the 1980s and 1990s, this brother Laidel is only at the level of their apprentice and has failed to make any breakthroughs and innovations in the field of causing trouble.

In addition to Ledell, there are others joining.

Hores Grant, a meritorious veteran of the Bulls' First Dynasty and one of the three first giants, chose to join the arms of the old coach, and pursued the championship for the last time in his career.

Cobra ran away from the Bulls after 1993. His new partner was Shark, who was still in Magic. After eliminating Jordan who had just returned in 1995, he was lifted up by the Magic generals for a week.

In fact, everyone understands that the Lakers' power forward is joyful and worrying: as long as the opponent's low-post ability is not so good, then Horry can play small forwards with the name of power forward, wander around at will, and give the opponent a gentle knife from time to time. Mr. A. Green can also continue to play his soy sauce and continue to break his records related to the number of appearances. Al Harrington can continue to grow and develop, one day supporting half a piece of California, and the Sharks can completely cover it in the penalty area.

If the increase in power forward's depth makes the Lakers' dominance stronger, and the rise of another person makes this season's ok show an unstoppable aura.

Kobe was originally scheduled to get married this summer. The defeat in the finals made him choose to postpone the wedding date. The media asked when he would get married. Peter Pan made a great wish: The day when I lead the Lakers to win the cup is when I marry Vanessa.

Due to the word "I'll lead", there was also a riot inside Los Angeles. Some people think that Kobe is unwilling to be a petty person and see O'Neal's status as the boss, while others think that this is just an unintentional statement.

The media argued for a summer, and neither Kobe nor O'Neal had any other statements, and time quietly came.

After the season began, Kobe began to hand over his report card for hard work for a summer.

In November, Kobe averaged 21.5 shots per game, and in December, the data reached 25 times. In contrast, it was crazy growth. After playing in the first two months, Kobe averaged 29.7 points per game.

In Mo Mengchen's opinion, this is a meaningful moment.

In the first decade of the 21st century, the most dominant scorer Kobe Bryant.

It was the first time in his career to be in the top scorer of the NBA. Although it was still a while before the craziest year of his killing, it was undoubtedly an exciting moment, because from this time, Kobe really became the scorer in most people's impression.

Kobe's career is full of changes almost every year, but this change at the end of 2000 was a great qualitative change: from this moment, Kobe found the most suitable stadium role after four years of entering the industry.

The increase in the number of shots symbolizes that Kobe began to evolve into a real superstar, but the shadows inside the Lakers have also taken shape.

Kobe is just the Lakers' No. 2. Secondly, although the Sharks failed to lead the Lakers to win the championship last season, it has opened the world's eyes to his energy and physique. Secondly, the Sharks are still the unquestionable first core. Secondly, the Zen master has begun to dislike Kobe who is becoming more selfish. Secondly, many people have begun to inquire with each other: Has Kobe scored today?

"Did Kobe shoot?" is usually considered "Did Kobe shoot more than 25 shots tonight?".

You know, no team will let the second player shoot more balls than the boss, unless the boss is as selfless as Dor.mo, otherwise the boss's tight privileges make him supreme in the team and should be the player with the most shots.

At the end of the discussion in Los Angeles media, they concluded that it was very inappropriate for Kobe, 22, to appear on the top scorer at this time.

Except for himself, Kobe and Momonchen, no one supports him to continue this crazy behavior.

Tonight, during the Christmas battle, O'Neal volunteered to the Zen master: "Don't replace me unless I ask myself!"

The lessons that the Pistons taught him will be unforgettable for him, and O'Neal also spent the most diligent summer of his life.

Now, the competition is about to begin.

The Lakers are strong.

Starting Fisher, Kobe, Ledel, Harrington and O'Neal.

On the Pistons, Jerome Williams replaced Rashid, who had been automatically suspended for one game due to technical fouls, and the rest of the positions remained unchanged.

"The contestant is in place."

There were three commentators sitting in the commentary seat, namely Kevin Harlan, Danny Angie and John Thompson.

Except Anji, the other two have played in the commentary world for many years and are the golden voices that fans like.

Regarding the outcome of this game tonight, the three commentators, regardless of whether they were biased or not, put the flag of victory on the Lakers.

Even Angie, who comes from the Celtics, thinks that the Lakers will definitely win tonight.

"Rashid cannot play, which is a flaw that cannot be ignored," said Anji. "When a strong team fights, one more strong point or one less strong point may determine the direction of the entire game."

The surprise started with the jump ball. Although O'Neal racquetted the ball, the ball fell into the Lakers' hands.

Hill was extremely agile. He judged the ball's landing point and moved quickly. He took the ball into his hand, turned around and launched a fast attack.

"Pistol's specialty!"

The whole world knows that the Pistons like to start the game. After Hill got the ball, the booing from Staples Center made people feel that the world is at its doomsday. This is a group of hopeless people.

"I'll kill you the fuck!"

Isaiah Laidel's saliva and swear words flew together. Just after he spitted out this trash talk, Devil Mountain turned sideways and threw his defense behind him in a blink of an eye.

Hill's attack was about to go deeper, and the referee whistle sounded.

In just fifteen seconds of the opening game, Ben Wallace received a foul without the ball.

The cheers at the scene were accompanied by Wallace's inexplicable hands spreading, Hill had to put the ball down, and Mo Mengchen was silent.

He didn't know what happened in the inside, but Wallace was called a foul at the beginning, which was not good news for the Pistons. When Rashid couldn't play, Wallace was the only inside they could slightly limit O'Neal. If he was hit with a foul at the beginning, the subsequent game would be more and more difficult.

The shark also discovered the opportunity. Just like he smelled the bloody smell, he took the initiative to take the position, Kobe took the ball and hung it in.

O'Neal shouted loudly, turned around and suppressed himself with his height and weight, and pushed Wallace to the delicate paint area to catch a small hook. Unfortunately, the touch was not very good, and he hit the side of the basket and flew out.

At home, the Purple Gold Legion, which was fierce and surging and determined to take revenge, launched a fierce attack on the rebound. Leidel was a villain who was despised on the court, but he was really desperate when playing ball, and he was as sharp as a devil. He raised his hand to hit Hill with a dark elbow, viciously snatching the rebound and throwing it to Kobe on the outside.

Kobe received the ball and started with a three-pointer.

"The first goal tonight is from Kobe Bryant!"

3 to 0

Hill rubbed his shoulders lightly, obviously he was heavily elbowed.

"If you can't deal with him, I can help you." Mo Mengchen handed the ball to Hill in a condescending tone.

Hill glared at him dissatisfiedly. What does it mean to not be able to deal with him?

Leidel flapped his teeth and claws at Hill, while Mo Mengchen made gestures to let others open up space for Hill.

At the low post on the right, Hill hit Ledel twice in a row. Kobe's double-team was about to take the position. Devil Mountain's body twisted like a hemp rope, turned over and got up, pulled to a height that only two Ledels could reach when they were stacked together, and made a shot.

2 to 3

"Give me the ball!"

The angry Laidel asked for the ball for Kobe, but was ignored.

Kobe completely forgot that the reason he was able to hit the start of the three-pointer was because of Ledel's pass. He wanted to break through with the ball, but the Pistons' defense was quite coherent and he couldn't break in for a while. Houston chased and defended himself in place, forcing him to a dead end.

Only at this time will Kobe think about passing the ball.

Even the media in Los Angeles think he is selfish, but he feels that what he deserves at the moment is what he deserves and no one can take it away.

At the moment of helplessness, Kobe passed the ball.

Passing is dangerous when you are forced into a dead corner.

"dor.mo steals!" Accompanied by Harlan's high voice, the piston's counterattack was launched like lightning.

Leder's return to defense was very active. The team was willing to take in this hateful villain with such a bad record, which was not unrelated to his style on the court.

Mo Mengchen waited for Leidel to catch up with him and glanced coldly.

Leidel felt a terrible aura approaching. The next second, Mo Mengchen suddenly stopped suddenly and made a shooting move. Leidel, who was catching up with him, could not stop at all and hit Dor.mo's left elbow head-on.

A bloody blow hit his nose, the referee whistle sounded, and Mo Mengchen slammed into a dunk.

Leidel covered his nose and blood flowed.

Mo Mengchen held the basket with one hand and looked down at his opponent coldly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Chapter completed!
