NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 174 Christmas Battle
The day before the Christmas game, which is also commonly known as Christmas Eve, the NBA has no game schedule. Since the end of the game on the 23rd, the NBA has entered a small Christmas holiday except for the 10 teams participating in the Christmas game.

Christmas Eve is Monday. Although there is no event schedule, it is also the best day to announce the previous week.

Although the rare and leisurely Chen Xiao knows that it is impossible to be the best of the week, how can he be the best of the week with 4 matches and 3 losses in a week, but he still needs to care about it.

Week 8 Best of the Week:
西部：快船队克里斯·保罗，4胜0负，场均16.3分11.3助攻3.5抢断；

东部：热火队勒布朗·詹姆斯，3胜0负，场均25.3分8篮板7.7助攻。

Paul's stats are mediocre. He has 10 assists and it doesn't look particularly conspicuous. It can't be compared with 13 or 15 rebounds, but the role of driving the team is still better.

In particular, 11.3 assists and 3.5 steals have already ranked first in the Western Conference. In addition to the slightly lower scoring that traditional point guards do not place much emphasis on, Paul led the team to perform impeccably last week.

On the eastern side, James' stats belong to his basic skills, which is almost a James coin.

Chen Xiaoshun browsed through the news and the comments under the announcement, and realized that it has been 8 weeks, and this is James' best first week of the season.

Why is Chen Xiao a little stunned, because such a record was mentioned in the news.

"This is the latest season LeBron James has had a division best time (weeks) outside of his rookie season"

And James was originally the most promising player of the Eastern Week among the nominees in the second and third weeks. Why is he said to be the most promising among the nominees, because the winner is already Chen Xiao.

There are also comments below that the rookie James has not won the best of the week, and the rookie Chen Xiao has affected the league's No. 1 monopoly on the best of the week and the best of the month in the division. The best attributable player.

I don’t want to talk about the best of the week, because there is a lot of uncertainty, and many not-so-famous players in the league can get it, such as Jennings in the first week of this season, and Faried in the second week. , It is still very difficult to achieve more acquisitions, more occupations, or even monopoly.

But the best of the month is different. Since the reference sample is large enough, with a minimum of 20 games a month, superstars with better records and better statistics will naturally take the so-called "little MVP" trophy.

近三年来詹姆斯已经在17个月（11-12缩水赛季只有4个月）中拿到了9个月最佳，个人占比超过一半，对东部月最佳奖杯已经达到“绝对控股”级别的统治。

而近3年来能影响詹皇对月最佳统计的也只有西游前的魔兽（2座）、受伤前的玫瑰（2座）、0910赛季尚未成为队友的闪电侠（1座）、真理（1座）、甜瓜（1座）。

So when Chen Xiao won the best of the month in the East, some media and fans exclaimed that James is another challenger in the East, and Chen Xiao, who has just turned 20 in his rookie season, obviously has more potential for the aforementioned challengers .

Therefore, in recent days, when the Bobcats caught up with the wave of away games, Chen Xiao occasionally saw such comments.

"The Bobcats are kneeling three times in a row. The Heat are number one now! This month's best LeBron James is doing his part. After Christmas, we can directly talk to win the Bobcats. Then the best of the month in December is still controversial? The monthly record is also leading the Heat."

Chen Xiao didn't feel much after reading the first half of this comment. What he said was wrong and the Heat had a better record. If they had a direct dialogue and still won, then the award would indeed be awarded directly, but a patch was added later, which is still quite interesting.

Chen Xiao almost slipped his hands and clicked a thumbs up.

"Who would give me Zhan Qi this month? If it weren't for his teammate's injury last month and his obsession with state, Zhan Huang would have ruled the Eastern Conference since the first month. I am James, and I have the advantage!"

There is nothing wrong with it, the realm of vigorous vitality and all things competing to develop is in front of us again.

Turning off the announcement-like news, Chen Xiao flicked it, hey, there is an interesting news and announcement.

A record was added to the Bleacher Report's Week 8 best of the week.

As for whose record it is, it's not Paul, the god of point guards, but James King's.

本赛季开始以来，勒布朗·詹姆斯的得分从来没有低于20分。他本赛季连续20+次数已经达到24次，追平卡尔·马龙的连续20+纪录。马龙在1989-90赛季曾经以连续24场20+开局。詹姆斯的下一个目标是冰人乔治·格文的连续45场20+。

Hey, 24 times, Chen Xiao had 24 consecutive 20+ times before, oh, since the start of the competition, there is still a condition for this.

This...Chen Xiao suddenly thought of the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind when he was interviewed after the game in Denver, and his disapproving attitude towards consecutive 20+. He didn't expect this kind of 20+ record since the start of the game.

But since the start of the game, it seems that the gold content has increased a lot?

毕竟陈逍自己开赛第二场虽然赢球但得分上是只有18分，这赛季是和这项记录无缘了，目前27场比赛在第2场、第27场分别是18、19分，和这项记录有差。

Look at the names on this record, "Postman", "Iceman", this record is not bad.

Laughing to death, Chen Xiao thought of a preset situation. He told reporters two days ago that a 20+ record is nothing, and the stars can keep this data continuously with hard work, and then two days later, the media will publish it under the weekly best announcement This record celebrates another achievement of James, and the traffic is directly full, which directly adds another fire to the cat fever after Christmas.

……

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way.

A joyous scene in Charlotte on Christmas Day.

With Christmas hats, Christmas trees, and Christmas gifts, Chen Xiao, who stayed in Charlotte early in the morning, went to the grassroots with the team staff to investigate the fans, and gave Bobcats special Christmas gifts to loyal Bobcats fans.

Also for the "how many games we can win before Christmas" prediction activity carried out by the Bobcats before the season, the lucky fans who guessed correctly sent the whole team signed jerseys.

In addition to Chen Xiao, Walker, Henderson and other players, there is also the boss Michael Jordan's cross-cutting. Danzi, are you also a Bobcats player?
But Danzi is really a non-staff player of the Bobcats. At least he sometimes comes to the training ground to train with the players. Of course, it is training, mainly for "guidance".

This one, Chris, your fucking wrist is lighter, that Kemba, you dribble too much, take less than two times, and just pull and explode.

He also singled out with Henderson and Middleton. According to Henderson's caliber in an interview, "Mike is the greatest player in history. His competitiveness is very strong, which can be seen from the game. We Playing heads-up for a while, and shooting the ball, it was a lot of fun, and Michael always wanted to win, so we had a tough game. Michael and I, and Chriss, it was a dead heat."

But to be honest, in the eyes of a bystander and occasional referee Chen Xiao, Jordan, who is 49 years old and under 50 years old, is at least not inferior to these outstanding players and rookies who are in their prime. Jordan, who still maintains shooting stability and defensive awareness, can really use mid-range shots to punish Henderson and Middleton.

Is this the strength of Black Jesus, the 49-year-old basketball god.Chen Xiao often said this sentence to his teammates.

This is the god of basketball, Black Jesus.

The lucky fan named Luke was very excited to see the Bobcats home jersey No. 13 signed by the owner and the players.

Arranging the Christmas event in the morning naturally takes into account the triple needs of the team's players and fans. Everyone has to watch the Christmas game.

Especially the coaching staff of the Bobcats, the Heat game should not be studied, and the game against the Heat will be followed by the Nets game, and the Christmas game between the Nets and the Green Kais must also be studied.

Chen Xiao, who returned to his residence at noon, locked on the special live broadcast of the ESPN Christmas Game for the first time. From noon to night, he did not watch the last two games. The first three games included the Green Kais Nets, Knicks Lakers, and Thunder Heat in the same competition area. Those were all blockbuster battles with a high degree of attention.

Taking a large glass of 2 liters of specially prepared vegetable and fruit juice, Chen Xiao watched and drank it. As for eating, he packed a grilled chicken wing and a "Novanta" pizza, which is very popular in Charlotte.

The first opening is the Christmas battle between Green Kai and the Nets.

I don't know how many people came here because of the previous stadium fight. In the peace and joy of the Christmas game, the two teams with old grievances should not be able to fight again, right?

Before the game, the Nets top card Deron said: "I don't know if there is any hatred. We have defeated them twice this year. They also know this and will come prepared."

Indeed, Lvkai came prepared!After three quarters, the Celtics have led by as much as 15 points at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

In the final quarter, the waves rose again, and the conflict 2.0 was staged.

The wolf king Garnett, who played the role of the victim in the last game, is one of the protagonists again this time.

Garnett, who was attacked by Wallace in the last game, got involved with Elvis Presley again.

Elvis Presley Wallace landed unsteadily and grabbed Garnett's jersey. The two of them immediately began to greet each other's family intimately. Greetings, without doing anything, the two of them finished the job with one technical offender.

But the boss has scruples, the younger brother doesn't.

Chen Xiao only saw the old acquaintance on the screen. The rookie Sullinger selected by the Celtics this year directly locked Wallace's throat lock with both hands for a fast break layup to Elvis Presley.

But Elvis Presley was also tough. He stepped forward and used his body to resist Salinger. Under the aura of a fighter, Salinger raised his hands to signal me, and the referee made a foul.

With the help of this villain, Elvis scored 18 points in 5 seconds.

Chen Xiao, who was watching the game, couldn't help but think of how many points he got in a round with the Knicks criminal, maybe 6 points, and DPOY Chandler would be beaten directly.

The first Christmas game got off to a hot start and ended with a big victory for the prepared Celtics.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Lakers' home game against the Knicks who came from afar was even more star-studded and dazzling.

As the host, the Lakers currently have a record of 12 wins and 15 losses, while the Knicks are 19 wins and 8 losses. Obviously, in front of the Knicks, the Lakers at home are well underdogs.

But at the beginning, the Lakers, who rarely wore white jerseys, did not give in. They played back and forth with the Knicks, whose record has taken off this season.

Wuhu, 3 minutes before the end of the first quarter, Kobe ran back and threw off Melon, caught the ball and entered the penalty area, and evened the score with a beautiful stretch of the loop.Chen Xiao, who was watching in front of the screen, couldn't help admiring as a fan. The 34-year-old Fei Xia can still fly.

At the end of the first quarter, Kobe scored 13 points in a single quarter, helping the team lead the opponent by 2 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Chen Xiao, like all the fans, continued to look forward to Kobe and Anthony's scoring performance. After all, watching this Christmas game is not just watching Kobe and Anthony.

As a result, Ci Shiping came out to grab the show and succeeded. A supporting role restrained the protagonist Anthony on the opposite side, and forced Melon's 3 fouls to leave the field early. leading.

If someone who doesn't know the score in this half, the Lakers Mercy Shiping 16 points, Kobe Bryant 15 points, Knicks JR 15 points, Anthony 10 points.The two aces you are talking about are Metta Shiping and JR Smith.

This game also had a little conflict like the previous one, but the protagonists were Metta World Peace and Chandler.

上半场虽然中投姿势依旧潇洒的甜瓜表现稍显沉寂，异地再战，9中7三分4中3的甜瓜单节轰下17分，也让尼克斯重新回到1分优势。

However, the Knicks' overall inaccuracy in the last quarter and the Lakers' overall blooming situation allowed the Lakers to narrowly beat the Knicks by 3 points to win the highlight of the much-anticipated Christmas game.

Kobe and Anthony who each scored 34 points also made the trip worthwhile for the neutral fans who watched the Christmas game on time. Anyway, Chen Xiao was happy with Kobe's picturesque drawbar and Anthony's picturesque pull-up jumper. Forward players naturally have better viewing.

When Chen Xiao gets out of Danzi's jump shot, and then turns his back and shoots the jump shot directly, following Nuo Tianwang's good example, the sky hook plus the unsolvable jump shot, I dare not imagine the picture.

As for the Lakers, the most concerned thing after this game is naturally that Kobe scored 30+ in a game, which is the 9th consecutive game.

Kobe, who scored 34 points in a row like the last game against the Warriors, also surpassed "Big O" Robertson with a total score of 383 points in the Christmas game to be crowned the Christmas scoring champion.

Chen Xiao finally took a look at Kobe's shots and scored 24 points on 14 of 34 shots.

Ahem, recently Kobe was criticized for taking 41 shots and 34 points against the Warriors in the last game. The most famous game where Kobe took more than 40 shots before may be 4717, or 81 Dragon Slaying. Different people have different answers. .

而这次41投16中难免让球迷媒体科比的黑或粉都联想到那场4717的经典黑料，不过那场输了3分，这场赢了3分。

But in terms of scoring alone, even the game with the lowest score of 40 among the games with 4717 shots, regardless of the shooting percentage, it still scored 40 points+ anyway, in other words, you can get 40 points even if you take 40 shots, but This game is 34 points.

Not to mention the dragon slaying game, with 46 points in 81 shots, second only to the marshal in history, putting Kobe's name directly on the altar of scoring explosiveness, shining in the annals of history.

But fortunately, this game has resumed the continuous and efficient performance since this season, and it should be able to stop some sunspots.

This season's Lakers and Kobe gave Chen Xiao a feeling of deja vu. He didn't know it before, but now after experiencing it personally, Kobe who is still scoring crazy points makes Chen Xiao feel like he has returned to the crazy years of 0507+40+ in the past few years in 50.

……

How can a big dish be enough to eat? The last game of the Lakers Knicks has just come to an end. Last season's re-enactment of the Finals was staged passionately by the Thunder and Heat at the American Airlines Arena in Miami.

Before the game, whether it was James, Wade, or coach Spoelstra on the Heat's side, they deliberately downplayed the impact of this game, saying that this was just a regular season.

Wade also praised Westbrook before the game, saying that defending Westbrook is simply a nightmare.

But obviously, the outside world is looking forward to this, and regards this regular season as the sixth game of the finals.

When Chen Xiao saw this kind of remarks, he felt that it was quite heartbreaking for Lei Ting. They were all swept away by the gentleman, and now there is a resurrection match, right?

It's just that the more popular such remarks are, the more motivated Thunder will be to win this battle of revenge.

Durant also admitted before the game that he was looking forward to the coming of this battle.

For the Thunder, the new season has a new atmosphere, and winning the defending championship will add to the excitement of this season's championship.

Just at the beginning, in the opening remarks of the commentary, it was the turn of the bystanders to watch the fun, and Chen Xiao, who didn't think it was a big deal, was heartbroken.

"The Thunder have defeated the former No. [-] Bobcats in the Eastern Conference by a large margin. Now they also have the opportunity to take revenge on the Heat who are now No. [-] in the Eastern Conference. KD and Russ will not miss this opportunity."

OK, this can all be cueed, right?

A big meal is a big meal, and this game is also very intense.

Unlike Kobe Bryant and Anthony who seldom played against each other in the last game, this time the two teams' main players, Jan Du, contributed a lot of matchup rounds.

James faced Durant and made a pull-up hit, and made a mid-range hit with a step back. Durant hit James with his back and hit a jumper. In the second matchup, the fans in the audience burst into violent shouts. Of course, in the American Airlines Arena, there are still more fans supporting James.

As spectators, from the perspective of the broadcast, the two gave Chen Xiao the intuitive impression that one is tall and the other is strong, Durant can't interfere with James when he raises the ball, and Durant can't stop James when he starts with the ball.

In this game, James, who has a good hand, shot a lot of mid-range shots, which can be described as extremely accurate. He made all 10 shots from the mid-range distance beyond 6 feet, and hit half of the mid-range shots at the basket 12 times. Back and forth.

The game was also very intense. Not long after the start of the final quarter, Wade and Ibaka also clashed on the court, maintaining the current record of three Christmas games with gunpowder. The two each ate 1T.

In the last 10 seconds or so, the Thunder, which was 1 point behind, fouled Ray Allen, who was holding the ball. Ray Allen walked to the free throw line and made 2 free throws.

Why is there always you in the end?Gentleman Ray.

On the last attack, Durant made a three-pointer. Westbrook got the offensive rebound from Ibaka and missed the three-pointer.

Following the Finals, the Thunder lost to the Heat again.
