The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 127 Leisurely Christmas (The Chinese team lost, hey)
December 12th is the day of family reunion in Amerika. Durant will naturally celebrate the holiday with his beloved mother on this day.

"Stop watching those boring basketball shows, come here to help, your grandma will be here soon, I have invited a lot of people over tonight, even if we make money, we must not forget the friends who helped us back then, and, let go your phone!"

Wanda Platt saw that her son was still holding his mobile phone during the holidays, and watching TV programs were all about basketball, and he suddenly became angry.

"OK! Let me watch this episode, I'm about to sign a big contract, MOM, there's no need to make dinner myself, we can go to the best restaurant in Oklahoma City."

Durant, who was sitting on the sofa, turned his head to explain, and then continued to watch TNT to the show.

"You'd better hurry up and help! We can show our sincerity by hosting the dinner in person. I don't want to hear people say that we forget our roots when we are developed. Grandma Ni also agrees with my approach!"

Wanda Platt started nagging about her son.

At this time, Durant was concentrating on watching TNT's report on the Thunder on TV, and automatically ignored his mother's nagging.
"After briefly reviewing the performance of the teams in the East, let's take a look at the situation in the West. The Thunder are 24 wins and 4 losses. They are currently ranked first in the West. They are one game ahead of the Lakers. Charles, it seems that your previous The views are all wrong."

Kenny Smith laughed and teased his partner again.

"I admit, my predictions are as shitty as ever, but I'm sticking to it, jump shots don't win titles, the Thunder and the Lakers had a great game, but no one can consistently shoot that much from the outside. "

"They don't have a low-post attack, they don't even have a big man who can score in the penalty area. I don't think the Thunder's current lineup can compete for the championship. The uniform team still has a lot of work to do."

As an old-school inside player, Charles Barkley naturally doesn't like the Thunder's tactics.

"Man, you didn't expect them to enter the playoffs before, and now you say you don't expect them to compete for the championship. Don't be too strict with young people. They are still rookies, and the championship is not achieved overnight."

Kenny Smith continues his role as a bad guy.

"No, no, I think the trio of the Thunder has broken out of the category of ordinary rookies. Kevin Durant, in the third season, scored 30+ points in the games against the Lakers and the Suns. Stats, he's already a star player."

"Russell Westbrook, in his second season, is currently averaging 20+5+5 per game. He is fulfilling his talent this season. Look at his defense. It has been a huge improvement compared to last year. I think he is also It's out of the scope of the average rookie."

"Finally, let's look at the core of the Thunder, Kayce-LI, I don't even want to use simple statistics to explain how strong this guy is, he scored 26 points against the Lakers and played 20+12 against the Suns. Double double."

"The data cannot fully reflect Kayce's role on the court. He is the Thunder's metronome. He makes the Thunder's offense more reasonable and efficient!"

"Playing this kind of performance, I don't want to use rookie standards to ask him anymore. Kayce has become a core player of the team, so we have to raise the bar. The Thunder are young, but they play high-level basketball."

Charles Barkley blew up the Thunder trio with all seriousness.

"You have a point, but do you really think Kayce is the core of the Thunder? You may need to look at the statistics of Kevin Durant this season. I think Durant can get the scoring title this season. He It has become efficient and stable recently.”

Kenny Smith immediately changed the subject and started to do things.

"I'm going to stand by my point. Last time we talked, Kayce was the catalyst to make the Thunder better. As for Kevin Durant, I firmly believe he's going to be a good scorer, but I'm not talking about him. I can see the qualities of a leader in him.”

"A championship team needs to establish a good locker room culture. Kayce's selfless style of play can allow him to successfully lead this team."

Charles Barkley actually doesn't like Durant's style of play. The big player even throws a three-pointer from the outside. In his opinion, this is a soft ball style.

"I don't agree with your point of view. A super scorer can also help the team win a championship. Man, you haven't won a championship, but you must also know what a super scorer means to a team."

Kenny Smith immediately rebutted his partner.

"Shet! I did not win a championship, but I know an excellent locker room culture that can unite the team!"

When Durant saw this, his expression was ugly, and he couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart:
"The highest score in the team, offensive and defensive integration, I am the core of the team, leadership? Everyone likes me too! See you on Twitter, Barkley with a shit point of view!"

"Kevin!! Hurry up and help me, stop watching those boring basketball programs! Your grandma has arrived!"

"I'll be right there! MOM"

The cries of his mother made Durant give up the action of logging on to the Twitter trumpet and directly tweeting, but he had no choice but to secretly ruthless in his heart:

"After I finish Christmas, I'm going to start a discussion group and spray you on Twitter!"

Although Li Ze has been in America for many years, he still has no feeling for Christmas, especially every Christmas, he has to prepare gifts for the girls around him, which is simply torture for him.

On the 24th, Li Ze became numb. Britney and Annie have lived in the mansion in Oklahoma City for several days. They haven't found anything after returning home last night. This morning, they saw two beautiful girls hugging each other. Sleeping together, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Why are you two sleeping together? Britney, put your hands down a little bit."

Li Ze, who got up on time, originally planned to wake up the blond sweet girl for breakfast, but when he entered the room, he saw the scene where his jaw fell.

"It's only after 8 o'clock. Let's sleep for a while. We are exhausted to decorate the room these days, and we have bought the ingredients. We can make Christmas dinner in the afternoon."

Britney continued to hug Anne next to her in a daze, her head still rubbing against her arms.

"Okay, get up, and call home by the way, we will go out together later to replenish some ingredients, ah! Take your hands away! You female hooligan!"

Annie was talking seriously one second, and after being attacked the next second, the two of them laughed and quarreled again.

Li Ze always felt that things were getting weirder and weirder, as if he was in the HLBE prairie, looking up, it was green.
This year's Christmas is a harvest day for Li Ze. After the songs he copied and composed were packaged and released by his manager Chapman, all of them entered the top ten of the billboard.

The promotional video of "I'm yours" has exceeded [-] million views in just a few days on Youtube. Although it costs a lot of money to brush data, overall it is still very profitable.

The digital sales of "Shape of you" reached 23 in the first week. Although this data is a bit watery, but the manager Chapman told him to wait for the money. This song has a trend of becoming popular all over the world.

Li Ze is not interested in what records the song can break or what awards he can win. He just wants to get a green knife, have money in his hand, and not panic.

Even if there is a problem with the funds behind the Dutton family, I can finally help.

After working all afternoon, he finally finished tonight's Christmas dinner. Li Ze saw that the table was full of his favorite food, and was immediately moved. The two chicks really prepared it with care.

"Aren't you going to open it and have a look at the presents? I have carefully selected these two presents after a lot of thought."

Li Ze really didn't lie, this is the most thoughtful Christmas gift he's given in so many years.

"Of course I have to wait until tomorrow morning to look at the presents! Don't talk about this, let's do it quickly, I'm starving."

Annie gave Li Ze a blank look, and then immediately signaled the two of them to eat quickly.

"Don't worry, let's have a drink first. This is the happiest Christmas I've ever had in recent years. I won't go home if I don't get drunk tonight!"

Britney's eyes rolled, and she had a bad idea again, and began to encourage the two to drink.

"Then cheers!" "Cheers!"

Li Ze was in a good mood, and he drank it in one gulp after clinking glasses. It felt really good to have two beautiful girls by his side to celebrate the festival with him, but the more he drank the wine, the more confused he became, and the confused night had only just begun.
The NBA's Christmas game is the highlight of the league every year. This year's 23 vs. 24 is what all fans have been looking forward to for a long time, LeBron James vs. Kobe Bryant.

And this year is still a game of grievances. O'Neal also joined the Cavaliers this season. Before the game, many media revealed the old stories between O'Neal and Kobe.

He took the trouble to explain the disintegration of the Lakers dynasty to new fans. Kobe definitely has a lot of fans in America, just look at his Twitter.

When Twitter first came out in 2006, Hook moved all the stars of his camp to it. Kobe himself basically didn't use Twitter, and the staff has been helping to manage it, but his number of fans continued to increase.

The operators of Hook are crazy about it, and they can increase fans by posting advertisements every month, which is really outrageous.

In order to attract traffic, the league worked hard before the game, and various topics were constantly hyped up. Therefore, the attention of this nationally broadcast Christmas game skyrocketed.

But the result of this game was surprising. The Lakers at home were completely abused by the Cavaliers at the Staples Arena.

102比87，骑士队客场轻松战胜了卫冕冠军湖人队，当家球星勒布朗-詹姆斯全场19中9，罚球11中6，26分4篮板9助攻7失误，打得中规中矩。

The Lakers played abnormally. In other words, Kobe Bryant once again entered his own Mamba mode. He shot wildly in the game, but the result was astonishing. He made 33 of 11 shots and scored 35 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 turnovers inefficiently.

Although it was a quasi-triple-double, the game was indeed led by Kobe alone. The Lakers' shooting percentage was only 36.5%, and the Twin Towers did not play their own advantages.

This game almost made all Comeys break their defense collectively, but James was ecstatic. On the Hupu forum on the other side of the ocean, this day turned into James again, and taunted the Lakers after the game.

"A cancer is a cancer. If you hit the iron with a bang bang, the blue frame is crooked. How can you still fantasize about winning the championship?"

"Without O'Neal, Kobe just can't do it. Last year, he abused the Magic team. If he met me, Zhan, Kobe's cancerous style of play would definitely be easily blown away."

"The twin towers of the Lakers are a joke. The old sharks can go up and make a few gestures. No wonder they lost to the Thunder before. They look good but they don't work!"

"Is James playing well? Can he win the game without Mo Williams' 28 points? Hurry up and give Mo Williams the title of little emperor."

"The referee is really biased. He doesn't blow when he walks, and he makes free throws when he touches it. Can this game be played? If he keeps blowing like this, the NBA will end sooner or later. Will the appearance be at this level in the future?"

"James relies on his godfather. He is nothing without taking care of him. Just wait, this year the Cavaliers will be tortured by the Celtics!"

"Komei quickly get out of Hupu. It's disgusting to see you playing so hard. If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. If you lose, blame the referee!"

"The referee is blind. James doesn't brag at all when he walks. Don't insult basketball. You can retire as soon as possible."

"I'm cursing again, it's endless, how can I get such a strong sense of immersion in watching a ball? Get out of here, and report everyone, thank you!"

Li Ze didn't pay attention to this Christmas game. He had been busy practicing ball control for the past two days. He was almost exhausted during the chaotic night. He didn't come back to his senses until the Thunder team trained on the 26th.

Turtle had a very happy Christmas, and the enthusiasm for training was unprecedentedly high. This caused Brooks' head coach and coaching staff to call timeouts frequently. He was too excited and forgot the tactics.
At the end of the tactical training class, Guigui felt that his good brother Li Ze was still out of his mind, so he couldn't help asking with concern:

"Kayce, did something go wrong with Christmas? Could it be another fight with Britney?"

"Ah! No, we're fine with that. It's just that I've been a little tired for the past two days, and I'm much better now. Don't worry, I'll be fine for the game tonight."

Li Ze immediately responded with a smile. Tonight they will play against the Charlotte Bobcats at home. It is the first home game after Christmas. The importance is self-evident. The ball is sure to disappoint the fans.

"Then I'm relieved, Kevin is getting better and better, and we have to work hard!"

Guigui patted Li Ze on the shoulder, and immediately returned to the sidelines to continue shooting practice.

The Charlotte Bobcats achieved a record of 35 wins and 47 losses last season, ranking tenth in the Eastern Conference, and failed to make the playoffs, so they made personnel adjustments this season.

Traded away the former main shooting guard Jason Richardson, ushered in martial arts saint Stephen Jackson, plus Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace, the Charlotte Bobcats in the new season have improved their Lineup hardness.

Before this game, they ranked 11th in the East with 16 wins and 9 losses. Although the record is not ideal, considering that the opponent has recently won a wave of three consecutive victories, the overall situation should not be underestimated.

The Ford Center Arena still retains many Christmas elements today, and distributed blue Christmas hats with the theme of the Thunder to the fans entering the stadium. Tonight is still full of seats. Oklahoma City fans are very satisfied with the home team's record.

Most of the spectators entered the arena ahead of time, and there were waves of warm-up activities on the spot. Before the start of the game, the atmosphere of watching the game became more and more enthusiastic.

In the Thunder locker room before the game, Coach Brooks was making tactical arrangements:

"Kayce, pay attention to the defense against Stephen Jackson. In the last few games, the opponent is in a hot state. Don't give the opponent a chance to break through easily. You must also pay attention to the mid-range after the pick-and-roll."

"Guys, we need to transfer the ball. The opponent's defensive mobility is very good. The front line can almost change defenses infinitely. We must make good use of off-ball screens. Green, Kostic, pay attention to the quality of screens."

"The first home game after Christmas, I hope we can use this victory to give Oklahoma City fans a belated gift! Come on!"

"Yeah! Wan, Tu, Broken, Logging Tired!"

As the lights in the Ford Center arena were turned off, the DJ on the scene started screaming, and the players of the home team came out. With the wonderful shots played on the big screen in the middle of the field, Li Ze couldn't hear the voices of his teammates clearly due to the sound of the scene.

"This is going to heaven! Oklahoma City fans are so enthusiastic!"

The home commentator Tewen also began to introduce the visiting team's starting lineup:
"Coach Larry Brown still didn't use a big man in this game, starting with Raymond Felton and Stephen Jackson in the backcourt, Gerald Wallace and Boris Diaw in the front line, The center forward is Nazr Mohammed."

"Wow! The tallest in the starting lineup of the Charlotte Bobcats is only 208cm. I'm already looking forward to the performance of the boys tonight"

The game started immediately, and the players from both sides simply greeted each other. Li Ze frowned when he saw the height of the opponent's lineup, which was a little shorter than he imagined. It looked like a defender and four strikers.

"The game started, Krstic jumped to the ball for us, come on, OKC!"

The Thunder's first attack, after a few simple passes from the outside, Jeff Green and Krstic made a cross screen on the baseline. After seeing Krstic's successful position, Li Ze immediately passed the ball high.

After the latter received the ball, facing Muhammad's defense, he hit twice, approached the basket, turned over and shot with his left hand.

"Shua" scored two points easily.

"Oh ah!"

The audience at the Ford Center Arena suddenly burst into loud cheers. They hadn't been able to watch the game at home for several days, and the Oklahoma City fans couldn't wait to release their enthusiasm.

The Charlotte Bobcats have a lot of room to attack. After Felton's high pick-and-roll from the outside, he immediately gave Muhammad at the free throw line. At this time, Dior was already in the low post for the ball.

With a simple high-low coordination, Dior took advantage of his weight after receiving the ball. After hitting twice, he turned around deftly and scored a layup with his left hand.

Seeing this situation from the sidelines, Li Ze immediately felt in his heart that this game would definitely not be easy to win. The inside line of the Charlotte Bobcats restrained the Thunder a little bit.
"A flexible fat man is the most difficult to deal with. I feel sorry for Jeff Green. The Thunder always beat him for this."

　I went out to watch the game today, and the number of words was short. I will make up for it tomorrow, and I lost to Bangzi. I am so depressed.
