Christmas

The league was warming up half a month in advance about the highlights of this day.

In order to give viewers more choices, they launched such a combination.

Texas Civil War, Mavericks and Spurs.

The Pistons vs. Lakers in the past.

The war between the two emperors, Xie Hou and James.

Eight teams, four Christmas games, each of which attracted attention and each game had enough topics.

Even gimmicks like Xie Hou vs. James cannot steal the public's attention.

The public is rational.

Duncan and Nowitzki have many highlights, and the Lakers' CK combination vs. Iron Blood Motor City is even more interesting. If you don't want to see the meeting between Xie Hou and James, the Cavaliers led by Wade and Paul and the Bulls led by Howard, it is also a good option.

Of course, the most popular team is the team where the number one player in the league is, and it is likely to be the team where the number one player in the league is in the future.

Indiana Pacers vs New York Knicks.

Before today, Xie Hou lived in his new home for a few days. He was not used to it at first, but later, he got used to it.

Why? There are all new homes.

When you are bored, you can swim, play ball, play games, watch movies... for any pastime.

He also invited the whole team to have a grand party at home, which was something he never dared to think about before.

Training and fun allowed Xie Hou to quickly pass the adaptation period.

It was Christmas night, and their home court was the Banker Life Stadium.

Xie Hou met James, and he brought a group of little brothers to the scene to train.

Before the game started, Xie Hou and Kirilenko stood in the midfield and greeted Randolph with James.

As long as it is before the game, Xie Hou and James will deliberately forget each other's friendship. They will spray trash words at each other without any scruples and make ruthless moves. After the game, they will continue to meet privately and chat and contact each other. The so-called plastic friendship is nothing more than that.

"Today's game is so much attention. If you lose a crushing defeat at home, will it affect your popularity?" James asked whimsically.

Xie Hou smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, I, who won the championship twice in three years, have the loyalty of the fans than you who have only entered the playoffs once in three years."

"Why are you so bad?" Randolph's disagreement with James, but he recognized James as the boss in all occasions. He was obviously a bastard, more experienced than James, and was criticized when he served the Trail Blazers before. After trading in New York, major professional sports portals believed that he would be the root cause of the Knicks' new wave of civil strife.

However, Volkswagen underestimated James's skills in controlling people.

Legend has it that no matter what activities James does, he will bring Randolph together.

Randolph was a city cancer and a national enemy in Portland. Apart from the salary brought by the contract, James used his off-court influence to bring him a lot of advertising and endorsement income. James treated him so well, so Randolph naturally wanted to be loyal as an old dog.

James smiled at Randolph, "Z-BO, he is not such a bad person, he is very bad."

Randolph said: "I see it."

Xie Hou and Kirilenko returned to our backcourt to warm up.

What is certain is that the Knicks are not the former Wu Xia Amon. James has made great progress again and can be regarded as a first-line star in the league. If he does not look at his current personal honors and team-leading record, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a superstar.

This quarter, the Smiling Assassin took charge and made drastic changes to the lineup during the offseason, introducing strong players, which fits James' personal style.

Now, they have achieved fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

Their rise means that the power structure in the east has ushered in a new round of reshuffle.

The Pacers are still at the top, followed by the Cavaliers. The Bulls and Knicks rose one after another. The Pistons lost Ben Wallace in the offseason and had an impact beyond imagination. They have been surpassed by the Bulls and Knicks, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference.

"I heard that the results of tonight will determine the ownership of the Eastern Conference Player of the Month." Wang Zhizhi suddenly spoke during the warm-up.

Lao Wang has been in Changxing City recently. Not only has he integrated into the team, but he is also very good at giving Xie Hou a chicken blood.

Xie Hou has a few bad things. One is that he can listen to any praises and the other is that he can't stand anyone better than him.

Logically speaking, he should have gotten tired of getting the best player of the month in the Eastern Conference.

But with it, Xie Hou will not get a better evaluation. Without it, it will always give people a sense of "Arthur has been surpassed".

Last month, Wade snatched the November Eastern Month title that he ruled for three years.

This month, James is the only one who can impact his best title of the month.

Another point is that December's Eastern Month is the best, and Xie Hou has also ruled for three seasons.

"Old Wang, stop talking nonsense." Xie Hou pitched confidently, "How many games have we lost this month? (2 games) Have you not seen my data? (321214 per month)"

Wang Zhizhi didn’t know if he was commissioned by the coaching staff, otherwise why would he stimulate Xie Hou?

He continued: "You can't think so. You see, how many months have you been the best? Your behavior may have regressed in other people's eyes."

Is this human language? Has the person who averages 321,214 per month regressed?

Xie Hou was jokingly told by him: "So, if you don't beat Lei Balong, will my best moon be a little bit uneasy?"

"Specially suffocated." If Xie Hou had not been simple, simple and innocent, he would have doubted whether James had done something to offend Lao Wang.

Speaking of which, when O'Neal Jr. and Kirie can't even guarantee attendance, several Pacers' substitute insiders have gotten many opportunities this season.

Wang Zhizhi currently averages 19 minutes per game, scoring 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist with excellent efficiency.

What he most praised is his offensive efficiency.

Claire knows him and knows how to use him. Xie Hou and him are both Chinese. When they work on the court, they will be more or less biased. They try to feed Lao Wang that kind of chance ball.

Lao Wang is not vague in eating cakes, and he has a three-pointer. Now he is the Pacers' insider with the highest offensive efficiency. Even if he is not counted as an insider, his offensive efficiency is only lower than Xie Hou, and he ranks second in the team.

If you have a good offense, your relative defense will not be satisfactory. The defensive efficiency, defensive positive and negative values, and the real defensive positive and negative values ​​are the countdowns in the team.

This is considered an old calendar, and it is also the reason why Claire dared not use him too much.

Before the game started, ESPN reporters went to interview Xuewei again.

He asked Xuewei if she had set any goals for Xie Hou.

Xuewei usually doesn't talk nonsense now, she just said, "Arthur's winning rate against LeBron is very high, and I have confidence in him."

"That's not an average high," Leonard said heartily after watching the interview. "LeBron has only won Arthur one game so far."

"Including the playoffs, the two met 16 times, Arthur won 15 times, averaging 38 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists per game."

This is definitely a list of data that makes Knicks fans feel sad after watching it.

However, data, combat history, records, and games are all false in the face of unresolved matches and cannot be counted. Otherwise, the story of the 73-win Warriors being killed by the Cavaliers in three consecutive games by the Cavaliers in front of a 3% chance of successfully nailing themselves to the pillar of shame.

Data and records are always references.

Just as Xie Hou would not think that this year's Knicks would be as unbearable just because he beat James for three consecutive years.

They had already fought before tonight, and that battle made him more vigilant towards James and the Knicks.

This is a team that can't be careless anyway.

The starters of both sides entered the field one by one.

In terms of the Pacers, their inside line is partnered by Kirilianko and Wang Zhizhi, and the outside line is the same, so I won’t mention it much. After O’Neal was injured, their inside starting line has not been fixed. Although Kirilianko is the absolute main player, he will change an inside partner almost every game. Either Foster, Brage, or Lao Wang.

The Knicks' starting lineup is fixed, with point guards James, Crawford and Richardson as supporters, and Barnini and Randolph form a black and white fat and thin two-headed monster.

The ball went to the sky, and the jumping balls of Wang Zhizhi and Banyani were the most funny openings Xie Hou had ever seen this month.

Lao Wang was able to jump like Banyani when he was young, but now he has lost his explosive power. Although Banyani has talent, he cannot grasp the point of jumping.

Both of them touched the ball at the same time, but neither of them took the racket in the right direction.

The Knicks' people first reacted, Crawford squeezed into the LOGO, grabbed the ball, and the Knicks got the ball.

James and Richardson pulled apart, and Crawford fought Papalucas one-on-one. His dribbling skills were so gorgeous that it was impossible to move his eyes away from him.

The Greeks' most refined physical oppression did not work under the existing rules, so they could not use their physical advantages to force Crawford to stop the dribble.

Crawford's generation was in a good era.

If you push forward for 10 years, you will definitely not be able to see such dribbling. The dribbling skills of those who were not bad at the time were not bad, but the rules of the old era made all ball handlers unable to show off their skills as they please.

In other words, if Papalucas were put into the NBA 10 years ago, his achievements would be higher.

Crawford passed Papalucas, who was determined to put pressure but was forced by the rules to try to open his hands and maintain a defensive position. He was very skilled and brave enough to pull out three points.

Papalucas immediately stuck his body, but Crawford did not fight it and turned around and ran away.

The ball enters.

3 to 0

"The New Yorkers played the start they wanted most!" Leonard said.

Papalucas was nodded when he came up. He looked very unpleasant at Crawford, so he walked to the frontcourt and tried hard to get the position.

Xie Hou passed the ball, and he took the initiative to play with his back.

His figure advantage allowed his back to push out of the paint area, turning around and hooking, a typical European style of play.
Chapter completed!
